|The day before the attack, Ishkr gave the army a flame of Glory to boost morale.

Olesm enacted a plan to finally defeat Manus. He placed the survivors of the assaults that had counter-levelled into the backlines and in safer engagements until he had enough to field a fighting force of higher-level Antinium soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that their faith classed could no longer be appraised when they were a high enough level so that they would not be targeted by Manus until then. He had also stolen a speaking stone to spy on their orders during the battle.

Liscor prepared for a night attack from Manus, expecting them to sneak through Drisshia's heavies. Olesm requested that Xrn come to combat Manus' flying [Mages], but she was still wounded, so Pawn and [[Yellow Splatters]] came instead with the best of the Painted Antinium. [[Archer B12]] was selected to become the new [Avenger] that night, which was the explanation for the immortal sniper, after the last one was killed behind enemy lines by a Wyvern ambush. Manus decided to capture the sniper the next time.

When the Drisshian soldiers arrived, Bepol moved up his lines to engage. Manus' forces had doubled from reinforcements, and brought multiple Wyverns to the battle. Eight hundred soldiers arrived in the front lines. 9th company of Liscor's Army was ordered to shoot at the Wyverns, and 6th company waited on the wings. 4th company took their position in Bepol's lines.

Lulv targeted Pawn, theorizing that his death would collapse the Free Antinium. The [Mages] were prepared to destroy the entire Antinium force to achieve this. The Antinium resisted his intimidation Skill. The first ranks of Manus' lines clashed with the Antinium without slowing. Crab Battalion charged. The flame of Glory was unveiled and Artur ordered another charge to protect Pawn. 

Calruz was present, fighting with the Beriad. Crusader 53 killed a [Captain] and Archer B12 began killing the Wyvern teams. [Mages] appraised him and Manus learned the secret of the sniper attacks. Zimrah cursed Hectval, and used [Marked For Hell] on Sokkel. When B12 killed him, a void opened under him and something grabbed him and took him away. This unsettled Manus, and she damned another soldier before Pawn stopped her. Manus redoubled their fighting and marked her as a priority target.

When the [Mages] unleashed their bombardment, Pawn used his Skill to cancel their spells. He then inflicted bad luck upon Lulv as Yellow Splatters engaged him and retreated. Manus' charge stalled out and the Liscorian companies engaged.

The Antinium made a brazier from the flame of Glory. Artur charged with the company that have it in their possession, covering their weapons in it, and Embria did likewise. Her class advanced and she fought Lulv with Yellow Splatters.

The Antinium further counter-levelled, and Lulv ordered that they all must die, even if he and half of his command lost their lives. More [Templars] emerged, and the Antinium advanced. Manus was flanked by Liscor's companies, and Drisshia, who had been skirmishing with the Yoldenites, was pulling out due to Liscor's right wing overrunning their centre.

Lulv realized that they could not win anymore, and would only make the Antinium stronger in the attempt. He ordered a retreat back to Manus. He would make a report for the Walled Cities' High Commands detailing his errors and suggesting they either try to subvert the Free Hive and cause a rift among the Hives, or consider destroying the Free Hive if they're capable of it. He marked the Free Hive as the greatest threat of all the Hives.<ref name=":3" />
