*Around him he would see an entire army entrenched around the pillar around 100,000 troops had dug in with stone paved roads brand new to build there logistical network from nearby cities, towns, villages to phase out worn out troops bring in freshly rested troops food, clothing weaponry, they began construction of a large castle around it but it was just in it's first stages of building the first few walls men where chatting walking around the campsite, he wouldn't be able to get even remotely close to the pillar or camp before guards on horses sprinted beside him* `"State you business this is a military operation all civilians must leave this area for there safety."` *The hadn't seen much activity besides the token forces of a thousand troops every so often or thousadns with different armaments and weapons each time and equipment it was as if the enemy was toying with them but it was the enemy was learning there enemy*

*The portal began to grow and expand as on the other side there was generals all preparations have been met and to there benefit the people on the other side had set up nice paved stone roads to help move there equipment when it was time to invade, and that time was now. On the front lines was barrels and barrels of magic like mustard gas they released the mustard gas and used wind magic to push the mustard gas through. Minotaurs holding canons strapped to there backs as they walked on all fours inside with there support loaders over 500 of them using explosive canon balls, grape shot and regular canons split in-between them all. Followed behind them were the automatic crossbow men they were lightly armored to provide mobility Infront of the crossbow men were tieflings holding large wooden barricades 7 feet wide each 7 foot tall with a stepping platform it was reinforce wood and steel over 100 of the tieflings carried these. The automatic crossbow men were around 2,000 soldiers equipped with flaming and magic explosive arrows and regular arrows, behind them was the true artillery 500 siege weapons mounted on wagons with 360 degree rotation 200 siege canons, 200 automatic ballistas, and 100 warp lightning canons positioned behind them all. Behind them were 5,000 heavy armored infantry with halberds which could be used for a spear wall or offensive attacks behind them around 4,000 light armored infantry with swords and shields and automatic crossbows versatile units. Behind that line 2,000 cavalry lances the lances charged with lightning magic so if it hit one it would cripple a dozen this was as much as they could fit through the portal and it came all at once the Ebffellian troops would be unaffected by there magic mustard gas as they had gas masks the moment they broke through the portal after 10 minutes waiting for the mustard gas to take hold they rushed forward the sounds of canons being fired by the dozens then hundreds troops screaming a battle cry*

*Vylius would stand there in silence for a few moments as chaos brewed behind the soldiers more than likely turning their attention away from the plague doctor. While they were distracted black tendrils sprouted from Vylius's back and began to attempt to impale the guards on each of their horses.*
