The mages and the remaining one hundred knights were tasked with dealing with the vines blocking the barrier.
Dominic's own Knight Order also split into two groups and joined each side accordingly.
Neither the soldiers nor mounted knights showed fear before the enormous wave of beasts.
They drew their swords, readied their arrows, and charged in with courage and determination.
...
The mages focused their magical energy, crafting and deploying spell formations.
Each of the mage had their strengths and weaknesses depending on the type of magic, but the basic principle remained the same: they used spell formations to cast magic circles and advanced combination spells.
They split open the ground to expose the hidden roots of the vines, and then attacked with spells of fire and ice.
As for the knights like Dominic, they released their magic power directly as raw force.
Unlike the mages, they didn't use spell formations.
