Considering this is MLP there might actually be a formless personification of Karma trying to do just that.

I think that if we manage to beat this attack we should push forward. The best time to attack is right after he has wasted his troops on a major attack.

Omake: Hannibal at the other side of the gates (Canon)

The true Chosen King

@Questor my second omake, because why not, all the cool kids are doing it.
During the brief war between Griffonnia and Aquileia, his father, Hamilcar, had been a commander on the front lines of the Griffonian army, and had luckily returned home unscathed from the experience and retired, but his stories would stick with little Hannibal for years to come and influence his choice of profession.
Hannibal began to develop an interest in Martial prowess and strategy, his father had agreed to train him, teaching him to wield a sword, shoot a bow, strategy and logistics, and anything else that he thought would aid his son on his chosen path.
A few years later and Hannibal joined the military academy, and while in training the sergeant in charge took notice of Hannibals aptitude for strategy and warfare, and began training him for a command role along with the normal soldier training.
Then the winter war had started.
Hamilcar answered the call to arms and traveled south to the border with the local militia, given a command position due to his long and exemplary service in the Griffonian army, and Hannibal had been so excited to see him off, certain that he would return triumphant once more.
Sadly it was not to be.
When the army returned, though they were victorious, they suffered greatly, and among the fallen was his father Hamilcar.
Him and the other trainees were given a week of mourning, to return to their homes and be with their families after hearing the devastating news, and though he still felt an incredible rage towards the monster in the south, he could not deny that spending time with his mother and brothers helped lessen the pain at his fathers passing.
Later in the same year they were once again given time off, this time to witness the Imperial War Memorial, and Hannibal traveled there with his brothers, Mago and Hasdrubal, and before the name of his father, he had sworn to follow Hamilcars example, and protect the Empire from any outside threat, and also that he would destroy the monster in the south.
And now, here he was, commanding the army on the eastern walls, ready to face the Monster that was Sombra for the first, though certainly not the last time.
Remembering his vow to his father, Hannibal steeled his nerves and prepared for the fight of his life.
The defences had been checked, and then double, and then triple checked, his men had eaten a hearty meal not long ago, and stood ready to face the horror that would soon approach them, the order of the Knights Panther were ready to jump in at any moment, the artillery was armed and ready, there would be no turning back, nothing more that they could do to prepare, for the first wave could be seen approaching, meaning that the time for preparation was over and the true battle had started.
And Hannibal hoped that he would survive this battle, for he had a score to settle with the monster king, and the bloody toll he would reap upon that monster in this battle would not even come close to settling that score.

Hannibal remembered the first time his father had gone to war.

You mean give Major Kaboom a medal for his service. That Dog is going to end up in charge of our entire explosive and artillery department by the end of this.
That is the plan let Sombra break his army here. Then rebuild what we lost and do any research and expansion we can and invade at the end of the year.

Two comments:
- Grandmaster Adrian Dawnquill leads the eastern flank, so I don't think there's someone else "commanding the army". Maybe Hannibal could be leading a specific group, like the infantry units there?
- Vow, not wow.

i suppose, i just thought they led their orders not the entire flanks, i thought our army would have its own command structure and that maybe Dawnquill was just given overall command but someone else led the actual army in battle while he led his order.
if questor corrects this i will change it so that he is a commander of a army group rather than leading the entire eastern flank

Drop on Sombra's spine with a satisfying crack ?
Jk, we can roll bad still, but it is hard to resist this.

Only thing I can think for orders is send some diamond dog scout and maybe burn the manticore corpses incase Sombra booby trapped the bodies like he had self destruct for the ponies in the last invasion.

We are a commander/General or whatever here, we gotta get information from everywhere on the walls, figure if there is a force hidden somewhere trying to get behind our flanks.
See to getting our anti magic ore in the hands where it can be useful for when sombra makes another run at us.
Oh also I think if we are to make anti magic cannon balls we would instead have a regular iron balls dipped into the melted ore instead of making the balls out of the whole metal. Tho we cant do this now, its a thought for the future. It may not be effective to out right kill sombra, it would diffidently hurt his gas form.

Only if he can store A LOT of magic for it.
Teleporting is hard and tiring even on a personal level. He might MAYBE do it for a small elite team IF he knows the spell (and he probably doesn't).
Really only twilight, starlight and maybe Celestia (and Discord, but.. he's Discord! He doesn't count) are ever shown using mid-to-long rage teleportation, and very rarely on multiple people

The Crystal Empire is more or less barren and still has the windigos even if Sombra is defeated. We are not settling in it we are taking the ponies and moving them into our current territory both to protect them and to hopefully starve the windigos.
This has been discussed repeatedly before, the fact that Sombra is able to feed his entire population even at starvation rations, means there must be farms and life, so it can't be barren like you keep saying.
Also is the ground still collapsed from the trap, that should make it difficult for ground troops to advance, or was it filled in by golem bodies?

Already mentioned before. It's just we have little ore, and especially for that reason using it in projectiles is a bit of a waste. We risk losing it for good.
Well, we could send our stealthiest dogs to scout.
Also I kinda want to start an army-wide war song full of insults to Sombra to both threaten/scare/provoke him and as a distraction for the scouts, but I know that's silly

He is not able to feed his entire population they are all starving and we do not know what the starvation rations he does feed them are made from. There is some but nowhere near enough to actually feed them all properly. Our scouts and spies have also never found where the food is coming from either.
As for the holes, they should still be there but the main obstacles should be the bodies of the golems that are scattered around the pass more than any holes left.
What is going on? the forum isn't registering the fact I've read this page over and over, claiming all of these are still new posts.
The forum is not showing me the new posts unless I post a new post. Then it shows me some posts others have written, but they disappear once I refresh the page.

Yeah its doing it for me to if you refresh the website itself it will clear it but its still acting weird.
If someone just quoted me, that's nice. I can't see the quote unless I post this post.
EDIT: fixed, thank goodness albeit things seem to still be wonky.
