General Koltar's army attacked new Thalos at dawn. The previous night, several members of the New Thalos army left New Thalos under the cloak of darkness to join with their general. A few citizens went to him and formed a militia as well.

Dawn arose and they attacked New Thalos. As Koltar's army approached the gate, from the high gates of New Thalos the largest force of archers in history appeared. They drew their bows and arrows and slung them into the approaching army. Soldiers fell quickly. Koltar's army swarmed the gate and began to pound down the doors! In the meantime, the archers continued their work. Koltar's archers returned fire but not with the same effectiveness. A few archers from New Thalos fell, along with archers and soldier from General Koltar. After suffering heavy losses, the army of general Koltar swarmed inside the gates. New Thalos soldiers and cavalry were waiting inside and the ground battle began. Blood was spilled on both sides but in the end, the New Thalos army was too many. The New Thalos Calvary pummeled the remaining ground archers of King Koltars army. A Knight unit of King Koltar's perished to them as well. Another Knight unit, half beaten, managed to destroy one of New Thalos' veteran knight units.

King Koltar's army was beaten and about to die, when they regrouped and withdrew.

Bodies lie dead from all over. Most came from outside the gate, arrows stuck in them. This battle would lead one to believe that all did not die in vain. A lost battle hardly means a lost war. Although they took a few nasty hits, New Thalos won this battle.
