A perfect area was found...it was close to the border between the Elven and demonic territory. Here a massive wide open plain with the tree's a rough distance away from the field. In front of the Grandall and Elven Units was a forest which pretty much led to the demonic territory. This was perfect...wide open space with flat area made the phalanx perfect. Behind them were hills which led to higher ground, good for archers and catapaults to be set on. In order to halt the offensive, rows of wooden spkies were set up on both flanks. The phalanx would only have to work about the middle where archers and spear throwers focused on the sides.
With good elevation for their master archers and catapualts, things were looking good. All sorts of weaponry were being added as Grandall and Elven combined their ideas as armor was added to the Grandall Dragon Knights. Armor was added to the chest and legs and the skull with two steel horns which extended by the lower jaw, one on each side. The armor was heavily thick and would prove difficult to damage. The armor itself was also given magical protection.
Arathorn was behind the hills...the battle prehaps was still a few more days away as the large camp as reserves and units were being developed. Groups of Elves came in..lending their support, hearing the news as riders were constanly being developed. Arathorn looked at one of his allied Knights as they sat by an open fire thinking..
"If we only had some of those Attack Trolls..." The Knight slowly said, looking at the fire before glancing off to the massive camp.
"Those weak minded creatues would have greatly helped. Similar to those giant demonic things, those would have greatly helped with slaughting infantry" Arathorn replied.
"The mages would have kept them in control but those giant creatures down south..remember them? Hell our way of stopping them was to rely on Dragon Knights" The Knight responded.
"Still..while we have ordinary Dragon Knights then we have the "Blades"...pretty much the more powerful Dragon Knights. In other cases, we must do what we can with what we have. With the Elves helping us...we better take advantage we with we have.." Arathorn responded.
"Right..in other cases, we still have time. We really should work on slowing down their hordes. Our phalanx has proved highly effefective but they might find a way around it.." The Knight responded.
"Like you said..we still have time.." Arathorn got up, patting his friend on the shoulder before pressing on through the camp seeing if more allies would arrive. Aeraindir and his brother Armas would have news..
