Up in the northern front, Selphira's strategy was dictating the pace of the siege.
The battlefield dynamics here played out exactly as they had anticipated. The Vanguard's massive combined assault continuously damaged the ethereal Light Dragon, and the guardian effortlessly mended those wounds.
It was a grinding stalemate of attrition with no clear end in sight.
Selphira's sub-zero environmental control was absolutely vital. Her localized winter stripped away the beast's thermal camouflage and shattered its illusions, providing the human and even mutant artillery with a clear, solid target.
However, exposing the dragon was not the same as killing it. Even with its tricks neutralized, the creature's raw restorative power remained a monstrous hurdle.
For the time being, the human forces and the corrupted horde were not engaging one another.
