Both the human and orc army divided their armies into four sections. Center vanguard, left-wing, right-wing, and reserve. The one that had moved out to clash was the center vanguard from both armies. When the two vanguard armies clashed. The sand cloud that followed the human army also slam into the orc army, while the sand cloud caused by the orc army was blown further back as the wind was blowing westward in this area. Since the orcs were facing against the wind, the sand hit their eyes and caused them a short term of blindness. The human army capitalized on their enemy's sudden loss of visibility and get the first strike. Even after the orcs had removed the sand and managed to open their eyes, another wave of sand cloud hit them again as the wind continued to blow. John had instructed the rear part of the advancing vanguard to keep moving to churn the sand up into the air. On sparse occasions when the orcs' eyes were spared from the sand harassment, they were blinded by the morning sun. Even the orc archers and mages at the back were having difficulty as the sunlight was shining right into their eyes. Even though the orc vanguard numbered twice more than the human's, they were forced into a passive state. Not giving quarter, John advised the commander who then commanded the right-wing to advance and flank the orc troops. The already passive orc vanguard was given more pressure with the addition of the human army's right-wing troops. Seeing his vanguard army at such a disadvantage, warlord Abashi frowned. His aide, an Overseer-ranked named Badu Thickskull, said, "the human had picked an advantageous position." Warlord Abashi harrumphed, "I never expected for them to be able to work out the most suitable location under such a short time in this foreign terrain, and used the elements against us. I have truly underestimated them. Send both the wings out! Tell them to do their best to avoid facing directly to the East." John used his binoculars to keep tabs on the Orc's remaining army.
