As they pressed forward, they realized that the core of the city had been unscathed. It seemed to be protected by a massive dome of arcane energy. Rows of Iron Juggernauts stood in wait for the Coalition invaders. Turrets and gunmen lined the base of the perimeter wall.
The opening barrage of spells and gunfire butchered the Coalition's first line within minutes, slaying thousands before they even had a chance to fire their weapons.Their air brigade fell to Tolkeen's flyers and dragons like chaff caught in the wind. Elementals made of earth and brick rose up from the debris fields and engulfed their army. Their army was decimated, cut down like sheep led to a slaughter. The lucky ones broke rank and fled. The entire battle lasted less than 2 hours.

Of the 28 000 soldiers, 6 000 dog boys, 3 000 hired mercenaries and 48 000 skelebots that charged the gates of Tolkeen, 1489 managed to return. The rest were presumed dead or missing in action. General Chalk himself disappeared within the first few minutes of combat.
