With the Ulyssian attack on the westernmost pass in Brasel, General Heinrich Shallentz of the western front pulled soldiers from the smaller Erlenn Pass to assist in the defense. However, as it became clear that Ulyssa could not advance into Brasel, a large host of Ulyssians were sent to move through Erlenn Pass and flank the Elten forces to attempt to break their defense. This would be a crippling blow to the Elten defenses, and only a handful of soldiers remained in the mountain forts guarding the pass. For two days the Ulyssian host launched assaults on the pass, attempting to break through. However, the Elten defenders managed to hold against all odds, allowing the Ulyssian offensive in Brasel to be bested. Many of the officers of this battle were regarded as heroes.
