The Snake-men have not officially declared war on other countries of the Anriel World, but everyone knows they are merely gathering the power needed for certain victory; a full-scale conflict is practically unavoidable. In fact, those beasts that have suddenly increased along the border are deliberately let through Pate Plain by the Snake-men, released onto other lands for harassment.
Unlike the Paladins and Priests who have the aid of Divine Arts, ordinary soldiers practically have no ability to resist those beasts. Besides weapons enhanced by Magic, only siege weapons can inflict harm. But relying on the giant crossbow cart to hit the agile Petrified Lizard or Medusa is in itself a fantasy.
