It proved to be the right decision,to attack Pangaea sooner than originally planned.
As soon as the Messages of the war between Ermor and the nature dwellers reached Mardagg,he did order the full scale attack,directly heading for the capital.For this case,the damned legion,mercenaries with the power lying in their numbers,had been the perfect addition to the strong Abysian Troops.
The peace between Ermor and Pangaea did come too late for Oratha then,the god of Pangaea.
With the capital already besieged,there was no other option than trying to break it.2 Battles followed,in which the Armies of Pangaea desperately fought for freedom,but it was hopeless.Even though Abysia lost the damned legion completely(luckily there had been a Blood-skilled Abysian commander with the army,as the leader of the damned legion was burned to dust by his own troops at the very beginning of the battle
),there had been nearly 0 losses of regular troops.
The centaurs and minotaurs had been slaughtered by the morningstars of the Abysian army.
The remaining Troops of Pangaea were now scattered throughout the land and those unlucky enough,were trapped in between the newly aquired lands of Abysia to the west of the capital...together with Oratha,the Mother of Lions.
These troops to the west,tried the break through to the south...and lost again.
It was then,when Oratha tried the heroic attempt to conquer a province on her own as a Last try to survive.Unfortunately she did retreat,after her Lions did rout...heading to where she came from...but this province now belonged to Abysia.
With no land left to retreat to,she obviously decided to commit suicide
"what a strange end" Mardagg thought ,who at the meantime slaughtered the small stealthy army,which dared to besiege one of the Abysian Castles.
But still,even after their god was gone,there had been resistance in the remaining few provinces,even though it wasnt something to worry about for the Abysian troops.
Complete victory was now 100% sure and just in reach.

Thanks and respect to Mivayan,who played Pangaea until the very end ,being in huge disadvantage due to the attack from Ermor.
