## Chronology

### The Legend of the Dragon

When the Calamique Civil War has begun, King Brandea sent the Royal Knights against the rebellion of Marquis Mauli Hanman. The royal army under Commander Metzil had approached a high plain roughly 10km south of the city of Tozul. The morale of Duke Ioan’s Dragon’s Fang Knights and Demon’s Seal Knights came with them for aid. The royal army moved forward with its preparations.

After the first strike, the Demon’s Seal Knights took action to try to get around the granmans as they readied to continue their onslaught. The loose group of granmans readied their spears as they charged into the Demon’s Seal Knights. A portion of the horde of granmans was slashed off. Under Mauli Hanman's command, the great mage Ordo ordered to release 30 twelve-horned beasts.

Close to the battlefield, 30 twelve-horned beasts came roaring out of holes from the ground. They were all racing towards the mounted knights of Duke Ioan’s Demon’s Seal Knights. They were gaining on them with unprecedented speed. Commander Metzil, judging that Duke Ioan’s knights were in peril, gave out the orders to the main force to march forth as he led his own Royal Knights down to the fighting. The mounted knights surpassed the infantrymen, emerging out into the front.

The Demon’s Seal Knights pulled back the bowstrings on their bows. Hundreds of arrows were propelled into the air. All of the arrows, despite finding their mark on the twelve-horned beasts, bounced off of the steel, needle-like tufts of fur on the twelve-horned beasts. Unable to stop them, the twelve-horned beasts crashed into the Demon’s Seal Knights. The knights in front were all successively thrown out of their horses, crashing down on the knights travelling behind them as a great number of men fell from their horses, stopping the knights in their tracks. Covering up for their lack in individual strength against the beasts, the dismounted knights quickly formed up ranks. The twelve-horned beasts once again rammed into the formation, killing many as the formation of the knights gave way.

The Dragon’s Fang Knights mounted on the horses with their lances to face the twelve-horned beasts, which turned and started charging towards them. Hundreds of knights were knocked off their horses. However, they only managed to wound one of the twelve-horned beasts. The strength ratio was clear. The Dragon’s Fang Knights began to waver. Then Mauli Hanman has decided to unleash the airborne knights to push the Royal Knights to the edge of annihilation.

The Royal Knights have broken out into a run against the beasts to save Duke Ioan’s forces, which have collapsed. However, there was still some distance left and despite being on horseback, they were mortifyingly slow against the speed at which developments occur. When commotion ran through the knights, Metzil looked up to the sky and saw seventy airborne knights riding on the fire birds. The airborne knights came within 20 meters above the Royal Knights, unleashing a hail of fireballs at them. Fireballs crashed down on the ground, and the royal army crumbled. 5,600 men died on the Calamique Royal Army’s side while the remaining 3,400 took flight.
