Thenardier's army of 2,700 and Tigre and Elen's army of 900 clash on the open plain of Molsheim, with Elen and Tigre leading the charge. When the Zchted army defeats his first battalion, Zion sends his Earth Dragon in, which crushes and kills everything in its path. Elen faces the dragon alone, while Lim and her company distract the enemy forces. Using Arifar's full power, Elen slices the dragon in two, while Lim's force leads their pursuers into a series of traps. This dismays Zion's troops, including Zion himself, who refuses to send the wyvern into the battle. The arrival of 2000 Zhcted "reinforcements" (in reality, a shadow army of only 100 men and 2000 remounts) to the rear sends Zion into a panic. He orders his army to retreat, which allows the Leitmeritz army to slaughter the retreating soldiers. When Zion attempts to flee on the wyvern, Tigre's bow speaks to him and absorbs power from Elen's Draconic Tool allowing Tigre to down the wyvern, killing both it and Zion. The Leitmeritz army celebrates their victory over Zion's forces.
