As one wing of the Republic retreated in defeat, at this moment, the elite Imperial infantry and archers, led by Bernard, stood ready, waiting for the enemy, and lined up in position.
The enemy had begun to besiege Sarden, and at the same time, they were relentlessly advancing from the right flank. The Republic, day and night, had launched attacks as part of their constant rotation.
The Empire was at a disadvantage this time. The worst thing about fighting on enemy soil was being less informed than the enemy. The Republic had long had strategies based on Geography, giving them a clear advantage in this regard. This was something the Empire lacked.
Although the Imperial archers had interrupted some of the enemy's attacks, they were still not enough. In the end, when close combat occurred, the archers had to stop to avoid hitting their own forces. This caused losses on both sides.
