45 The Vanguards (1/2)
-Vanguards Stronghold-
Wow! Sieg's special skill swallowed a lot of them but we are still outnumbered. There are still more than 700 of them including the archers. After defeating lots of Orcs, Sieg started to slow down and his armor is disappearing. He's running out of mana.
”Warden, I'm all out of mana, we need to retreat and go back,” Warden didn't join the fight. Instead, he was just trying to support Sieg in case he runs out of fuel and now is the time.
Warden carried Sieg and retreated. The remaining defenders and warriors helped them retreat. Supports and Spellcasters also continuously used their spells to damage foes and heal allies. But it wasn't enough. The end of the war is getting near and we don't have the power to turn the table around. We're losing a lot of defenders and warriors too.
But they still haven't given up. Their leader did his best which motivated them to fight. Every health and mana was not wasted. Their hearts were loyal to their leader who led them from various trials and problems to victory. Tears can be seen from their eyes knowing that the homeland they created will be captured or destroyed by the barbaric Orcs.
It started to rain. It's like the heaven's crying for us.
Orcs tried to push their way inside but the Vanguards firm determination helped them defend the gate. Even with the Orc's total power, they are still having a hard time breaking the defender's defense. But there's something strange happening from the East of the Stronghold near the forest.
A mist of darkness moves towards the Orcs. At that moment I realized, I know someone with the same spell!
In that smoke, massive explosions can be heard.
”What's going on?!” Sieg asked everyone.
”Don't worry, he's an ally,” I answered.
The Orcs that focuses on defenders went back and checked what's going on inside the dark mist. But instead, they died mercilessly from an unknown source.
”WAAAAAAAH! RETREAT! WAAAAH!” The Vanguards only heard screams from the Orcs.
The panic and the confusion killed the Orcs' will to fight. But it stopped.
”FIIIWIIIIIIIT!” A sound of a whistle was heard inside the dark mist.
*SWOOOOSH! SWOOOSH! SWOOOSH!* After that, a lot of long spears flew from the forest and rained towards the dark mist.
The people inside the forest shows up and then charged towards the remaining Orcs.
”SHADE'S WRATH!” The dark mist was sucked by a person and that person was wearing a full dark armor.
He charged at the foes passing through every one of them and ripping their flesh like they were leaves. Every slash he made was filled with ominous aura dismembering every limb his sword touches.
The people that came out from the forest were Elves! They stabbed every Orc they see leaving no trace of life in them.
And lastly, the leader of the Orcs died at the hands of the Reaper.
Just like that, a saviour has come and ended the invasion.

(Scy's POV)
WOOOH! I'm exhausted. I never thought that Orcs would be that many. Sieg said they were prepared and anticipating an easy win but from the looks of it, they would have lost if I didn't come. Just right on time, I guess. The elves that helped us also moved out after the fight and returned to their forest. I said my thanks and bid my farewell.
We killed every single one of the Orcs. I feel sorry for the players who died from the fight but casualties can't be avoided on a large-scale battle like this.
