9 Chapter 9: battle part 2 (1/2)
'Badum'
'Badum'
The sound of the drum being hit twice echoed throughout the encampment, the knights put on their armor and equipped their swords as they rushed out. The knights lined up where Caesar was and got into battle formation.
”What is that?”
”Why are there so many elves this isn't what we were told!”
Caesar stood up at the front and squinted his eyes, he turned around and faced his soldiers that were currently filled with dread.
”Knights, we were not briefed about this amount of elves, nor were we told about that flying monster” Caesar yelled with a stern tone
He paused for a second and continued
”However if these elves make it passed us what do you think will happen to the kingdom? Our families? Some of us will die here today but we will be remembered for eternity!”
Caesar put his hand in the air
”If you wish to run away you can do so and I will not look down on you… However If you wish to fight and stand with me I promise you endless glory”
The soldier were silent for a moment but soon as if a fire was lit in their souls
”AHHHHH”
”FOR THE KING”
”I WILL NOT RETREAT”
The men roared as loud as they could, they were even louder than the 3000 or so elves rushing at them.
Caesar turned around and looked towards the elven army while contemplating ”if that monster attacks the elves and not us we have a chance….. I also only need 5% more to evolve” thinking to here Caesar unsheathed both of his swords at the same time and pointed them down towards the elves.
”CHAAAAAARGE”
Caesar roared out as he urged his horse to rush down, the Knights behind him also started rushing down alongside of him… The archers stood behind and fired arrows at the elves in the back…
”Clak”
”Clak”
The sound of hooves and footsteps hitting the ground echoed across the battlefield, Caesar and his men kicked up a huge dust cloud as they rushed towards the elven soldiers…. They moved like an arrowhead, all of the soldiers had resolve and fighting spirit showing on their expression as they rushed down.
The elves didn't just sit around and do nothing, Anduin ordered a few hundred archers
”Fire at their General!”
”As you command king!”
The elven archers started knocking the arrows on their elven bows as they were running forward…. The elven men aimed at the forefront of the upcoming army and fired.
”Peeew”
”Peeew”
The amount of arrows looked like they blotted out the sun as they shot towards Caesar and his army travelling at fast speeds.
”SHIELDS UP” Caesar roared, The soldiers did as Caesar ordered and put their shields up, Caesar didn't have a shield so he tightened his grip on both of his swords and got in a fighting stance.
”BRACE FOR IMPACT”
”Clank”
”Thud”
The arrows landed on to their formation, the shields managed to block most of the arrows but some broke through their formation… Caesar's hands were creating mirror images they were moving so fast, he sliced the arrows that were shot at him in half at amazing speeds.
”Puch”
”Puch”
Unfortunately the sheer amount was more than Caesar could handle, he was penetrated in the shoulder and lower abdomen…
”Argggg”
Caesar growled as he gritted his teeth and charged forward…. Soon they were just meters away from the elven army.
-----
Anduin roared towards the elves, ”SPEARS UP” but it was too late
-----
”CRASH”
With Caesar at the forefront the elven front lines collapsed nearly immediately, Caesars army flooded into their formation, Caesar raised his swords and beheaded as much elves as he could while seated on his horse.
”DIE YOU BASTARD” An elf roared as he thrusted his spear towards Caesars chest, Caesar blocked the spear with his left sword and then thrusted his right sword into the elves eye socket.
”Splurt”
Blood splattered on to Caesars face as the elven male fell to the ground… Caesar didn't have time to wipe the blood on his face and targeted the next elf.
At this time a huge screech was heard at the back of the elven formation. Caesar looked up and saw the monster… It had the body of a gigantic lion and the head and wings of an eagle… Its front two legs were talons.
”A gryphon…?” Caesar muttered in shock. A gryphon was an A rank monster in this world, something that with his current power couldn't handle.
The moment Caesar wasn't paying attention a blast of wind knocked him off of his horse… Caesar twisted in mid air to land on his feet and raised his eyes to see the person that used magic on him.
A beautiful lady with white hair and green eyes was glaring down at him she opened her lips and said
”You foolish human, you have caused so much death.. .y-you even killed my brother Aladin” She said with an angry tone.
”Which one was your brother?” Caesar yelled out while laughing
””Y-you BASTARD! Ill kill you” The woman yelled out as she was about to attack her father stopped her.
