(Part 1)
The Soldiers of Port Hunding and their Governor never expected any outside help during this national crisis Every city-state in Hammerfell was under attack from the Worm Cult that came out from literally everywhere
But after the unusual appearance of Jax, even the xenophobic Crowns faction would welcome any help with open arms
Jax was as akin to a de pair of horns and an Aura of Flas were spread ready to ascend the sky and get to the towering Flesh Atronach down the wall
GROWL
SNARL
The Flesh Atronach growledthe whole air around it reek with death, Jax snarled o up a notch
HOWL
The Flesh Atronach howled as it e metallic arm towards Jax on the wall Jax ss As soon as the slow ar it at the largeat it then pulled himself towards it faster than he could fly As soon as he reached the large metal arm that was about to descend and crush the wall behind him, Jax threw his Master's favorite punch
[Thunder Cookie]
With a fist like Jax's, it completely pushed back the metal ar the Flesh Atronach and the young Governor with his soldiers on the city ere all stupefied
The flail fro but this metal arht out of a hero tale
On the other hand, Jax was not over In one hand he had the [Lava Whip] and in another, he had the [Thunder Cookie] He threw the whip once again at the Flesh Atronach while being ain and descended on the Atronach's face with his hooves The spot where Jax landed on exploded and the Atronach retreated back
And the battle went on
From the wall, Governor Kareeht face
”Redguards! I don't knoho or what that is but the enemy of my enemy is my friend Support our savior! Archers, Fire on the flanks Mages, Protect the front Catapults, Throw to the depth of the eneet those Necroold pieces The Higher the rank, the bigger the bonus! KILL!”
The Governor howled to his nificantly The part where many soldiers were killed by the Flesh Atronach's attack just noas reinforced and put to use in a second
”My Lord! My Lord! The gate is being attacked!” A soldier ca
”What? How?”
”The Necro them explode on the wall”
”Those dirty fucker!”
Kareeate It was indeed as the soldier said The undead were swar the nuets closer
”We need to lessen the burden” Kareeht
He scanned the battlefield with his eyes coe number of the undead It was then when a devilish idea came to his mind
”Commander Malek” He called for his second in command, the city captain
”My Lord”
”Lead the defense, keep it like that and support this ally… whatever it is” He said
”What about you, ?” The captain asked
”Oblivion takethe Warband!” Karee his captain shi+ver but he couldn't stop his Lord
”Stay safe, my Lord”
In every city-state, there is a Guard force and a Warband The defense and the offense
The Warband of Stros M'kai was known across Ha a band of islanders, they were one of the erous forces on land even with their low nu the Warband frouardpresences started to retreat towards hiht circle down the wall He spoke and a bloodthirsty atmosphere forate
Faten took a sword and a horse not knowing the identity of the sword that she paid no care about As a daughter of a ood life all her years but she was a bit of a trouble maker She loved horsemanshi+p, swordsuards excelled in
Despite the will of her father, she was trained by her hter to the forrew to be a good fighter
”Hya!”
She sped towards the western here the defense was and arrived at it in a fewdetours around the defenses prepared in the city in case the wall didn't hold Once she arrived, she jumped off her horse, climbed the wall and looked for Kareem
”Lord Governor! Lord Governor!” She called but he wasn't anywhere near his post, she then saw the one leading the defense to be the city Guard Captain
”Captain Malek” She called thesoldiers
”Lady Faten? What in Oblivion are you doing here?”
”Where is his Lordshi+p?”
”He took the Chargers to the North!”
Once he said so, she turned to the North with a pale face
”No!”
Going out to the battlefield like that is suicide no matter how much she thinks about it She ran from her place and reached down the wall to her horse but it was no longer there She had to run
She turned north and planned to run with the wall but as soon as she crossed soate where it was being fortified by the soldiers More to that, there was a battalion of Guards and Local Volunteers stationed there
”What is going on here? Why aren't those soldiers on the wall?” She spoke to the highest rank soldiers she saw
”What are you doing here, girl? Get to safety” The soldier spoke to her rudely
”Sorry!” She didn't bother and even apologized knowing the distressful situation ”Where is his Lordshi+p?”
”At the North! You… you have a sword! Join the defenders now! We are ers Take a helm and a shi+eld fro that she is a local volunteer
Faten found herself in front of a carriage distributing weapons, hel her with a sword, no one bothered giving her another weapon as most of the weapons here were all axes, clubs and short spears
She was dragged with the tide of the crowd and was stationed in a tight forate
On the other side of the wall, Kareeer horses which gave the band its naathered histhe Gigantic Flesh Atronach and the undead horde's charge was fully absorbed by the wall, this was the tie
The horses of the band were trained to this kind of situation thus there fae Supported by the Aura of their riders as each rider was an Aura Master, thisto happen
They got to the Northern Gate riding on their horses and exited the city fro the north as a higher ground, the chargers would descend on the undead in one swoop killing or getting killed The rightthe Necromancers in the rear of the undead but these fuckers ell defended by their deadthe load on the as the top priority (”The Hunding Chargers in the Siege of Stros M'kai” Pic in Discord's Gallery)
Kareereat desperation but that's years from now and it wouldn't have succeeded if not for the unexpected elements that will show up in the latter half of the battle
In the overnor were to blast through those undead Despite not being a charger, he was at least capable of handling a charge As the horses ran in the open land and turned south towards the enethened and his heart being forged
”CHARGE AT THEM! WHAT CAME FROM OBLIVION SHOULD BE SENT THERE!” He called atop his voice
”HAA!”
The Chargers around him shouted to harden their hearts and release their Auras They lit the charge around them as they all trained the easiest, the most simple and the most destructive type of Aura the Fla to swarate and the wall ca halted as the ones behind theers to appear in this time
And the develop in a forh the uneven forrass Each and every skeleton and zo fro sparks like a ic trick No resistance was offered
As soon as the Chargers caers passed the western gate to the other side of the undead Jax and the Flaantic Atronach alking on two uneven legs felt like it was falling so it used its ht casualties to the Chargers
The city gate was opened and the defenders charged through killing each undead they ca hatever the Chargers didn't deal with As soon as they passed the gatehouse fully, they forether
Faten was there auard men and women, she may have found herself in that situation but no one paid heed to how young or ladylike she is Other ladies were in the sa like beasts ready to face whatever horror comes at the Flesh Atronach was an exception
On the Chargers' front, they took a large distance away froain this time to the rear towards the Necromancers
”Get those whoresons! REDGUARDS!”
”REDGUARDS!”
The Hunding Charger, proud and doe and called for their Ancestral Power, the [Adrenaline Rush] A ave thee in every open confrontation and here it ed and their eyes brightened
Every bit of their instincts as warriors was hyphenated for the final charge to cut the head of the snake
The horses crossed the sandy field heralding the end of the bitter fight The Necroers and panicked
”Why are the others not attacking from the South already?” A Necro, they don't seem to have even crossed the bay”
”Those trashes! Do so!”
”Dammit! Help me, comrades Control that Atronach with e, the Necro with the Chargers Half of the Necroave up their control and focused on the Flesh Atronach instead, pulling it froers
”Hya! Kill theers used their speed and superior strength to penetrate through the first defensive layer of the Worhtered like rats but the true head of the snake was the ones in the core of the forers reach them, this battle will be over
There was soht now, the situation turned dire That Gigantic Flesh Atronach turned around and chased after the Hunding Chargers It wasn't fast but its pace ide and soon it blocked the chargers' way then it started to ra the Flesh Atronachat that point
”Disperse! Spread around!” Karee disaster
The Chargers' formation was broken and Kareem's protectors led him to the east back towards the here the defenders at
”Your Lordshi+p, it is dangerous now”
”Order a retreat! Get them to safety!”
”They won't retreat unless you do, your Lordshi+p!”
The situation, that was in favor of the Chargers, turned dire in a split of a second once the gigantic Flesh Atronach started ra Kareem and his men couldn't handle the situation while the Corespell to hunt down the Chargers
Three of the Chargers were blinded by their Adrenaline Rush and launched the down a bunch each before getting surrounded and killed from all fronts
”Daot to hih to fall here
He finally ate but once he was almost there, the battle between Jax and the Flesh Atronach heated once again and Jax e the whole left shoulder part of the ar the flail Still, now that Jax was closer to the Necromancers, they didn't spare him from their attacks
Jax was forced to retreat but he was actually being baited Once he reached a certain spot, he found himself in the trajectory of the Atronach'sa still targetChargers He was falling like aGovernor Kareem
”Kareem be careful!” A shout from a familiar voice alarmed Kareem to his situation
He jumped off his horse to the side and by the next second, Jax landed in an eruption
Karees of the other horses but he protected himself He looked up and kneas saved as soon as he sahat becaers ran and circled hi him to retreat
”Kareeain
He turned around frantically trying to spot the owner of the voice
”Faten! Faten!”
”I'ht ranks raising her sword and shi+eld Her helm fell off her head and that's when Kareehtness of the crowded defenders, the two young lovers squirmed their way to each other Kareem reached out to her fro here?” He asked with a shocked face
”I'ht one and touched his face He was bleeding from his forehead and the side of his face
