29 Chapter 29: The war part 1

*BADUM*

*BADUM*

The enemies hit their drums as they marched closer towards the kingdom walls… Looking at this scene Caesar grit is teeth and looked back at his soldiers.

"They will lose spirit if this goes on," Caesar thought to himself bitterly

Soon the huge army came to an abrupt stop and two figures walked to the forefront… Caesar squinted his eyes and saw a familiar face.

"I have come to get revenge on those that destroyed my home and killed my family, your general has burned my home so I will burn his!" A sweet and tender voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Ah, It was my mistake leaving one of their family members alive" Caesar couldn't help but blurt out loud once he identified who the elf girl was.

This time the figure next to the elf girl stepped out, "After hearing of what had happened at the northern forest I have become disgusted with your general… If perhaps he comes down, kneels before us and begs for forgiveness I will think about giving you all clean deaths" A slightly immature voice rang out.

Rage soon filled the eyes of the knights behind the gates…

"How dare they disgrace our marshall's name" They all muttered through clenched teeth

Caesar raised his hand to calm his soldiers and looked down at the two figures, and without using wind magic to amplify his voice he roared out in laughter

"Haha, what does a young stripling such as yourself know about war? You will not burn my kingdom, the only thing you are going to burn is the last of your bloodline little girl"

Caesar's loud roar traveled through the entire battlefield shocking everyone with its might, Anna's brows furrowed and she ground her teeth angrily.

Anna soon raised her hand and yelled to the soldiers behind her "send in the wyvern riders, show them their insolence!"

*SCREEEECH*

Dozens of wyvern riders starting flying at the castle gates, seeing this Caesar did not hesitate and roared "READY THE BALLISTA'S"

"Yes, Marshall!"

The Knights loaded up the ballista's and aimed towards the charging wyvern riders…

"STEADY!" Caesar roared

The knights gulped and sweat trickled down their faces as they made sure the aim was on point, Caesar soon raised his hand.

"FIRE!"

*WHISH*

20 long bolts fired out from the castle gates traveling at extraordinary speeds… The wyverns felt their instincts tingling but it was too late.

*PUCH*

The bolts punctured at least half of the charging wyverns. They were blotted out of the sky and soon fell to their demise, the men riding the wyverns screamed in fear as they fell from the sky.

"NEXT VOLLEY" Caesar roared

"Yes, Marshall!"

The Knights once again loaded up the ballista's, this time the wyvern riders were full of fear and slowed down… "what the hell just happened??" they all thought to themselves.

"FIRE!"

*WHISH*

Once again long bolts rained down on the flying wyvern riders, they could see what was actually shooting at them this time… their expressions were filled with fear but the bolts traveled to fast, they were impossible to dodge.

*puch*

Once again the wyverns were impaled and shot out of the sky, the very few remaining wyvern riders quickly turned around and flew back to the backlines. Seeing this Caesar smiled and waited for their next move.

Anna and the rest of the army had shock written on their faces "just what is that weapon?" Anna couldn't help but mutter out loud in disbelief.

*shing*

Anna looked over at the young man to the left of her that just unsheathed his sword, he looked at her with a fearless expression "Don't worry Anna, even if they killed our wyvern riders they will still die here today" he said in a reassuring voice.

"R-Richard…" Anna whispered in a tearful voice

"CHARGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Richard smiled at Anna for a second but then raised his sword and roared out.

*tremor*

The huge army charged towards the castle gates, select few soldiers in the enemy army were carrying long wooden ladders. Presumably to climb up the castle walls.

"BALLISTA'S AIM DOWN!" Caesar roared out, even with the loud noise of the enemy charging at them Caesar's voice was loud and clear.

Caesar's roar broke all of the soldiers from their stupor and they started aiming down with the ballista's…

"FIRE AT WILL!" Caesar roared out…

*WHISH*

Long bolts penetrated some of the charging enemies however, it was not even close to stopping their momentum, the knights at the ballista's hurridly loaded up another bolt and continuously fired.

"READY THE TREBUCHETS" Caesar roared

*creak*

Three huge wooden devices were soon rolled behind the gate and loaded with gigantic rocks…

"FIRE"

The trebuchets immediately flung the huge rocks towards the charging enemy… the rocks arced in mid-air and crashed in the middle of the enemy ranks.

*CRASH*

"AHHHH"

"WHERE DID THESE ROCKS COME FROM"

Dozens of enemy soldiers were crushed from the gigantic rocks… The enemy army had traces of fear flash in their eyes but they kept charging, they were nearly at the castle gates.

"ARCHERS AND CROSSBOWMEN, AIM!"

The archer's on the walls immediately pulled back their bowstring and aimed down at the mass of enemies, the crossbowmen loaded their crossbows with a bolt and also aimed down at the enemy.

"FIRE AT WILL!" Caesar roared

*pew*

*pew*

Thousands of arrows continuously rained down at the enemy army, seeing this Richard showed a shocked expression and yelled out "put ur shields up!"

Some of the soldiers did, in fact, put their shields up at Richards reminder, however, a lot of them were easily pierced"

*gurgle*

Quite a few enemy soldiers were holding their necks to stop the blood from gushing out, the enemy didn't get any time to rest… The next volley was already upon them.

A river of blood flowed on the ground… The enemy soldiers although wavering at the constant volley of arrows still rushed to the gates, their numbers were far greater after all.

"What the hell is this water?"

"Who cares, just swim passed it"

Many enemy soldiers stepped through the water but to their surprise, it was quite shallow and large spikes were hidden under it.

"AHHHH"

"THERE'S SOMETHING SHARP DOWN THERE, DON'T GO IN THE WATER"

Screams of pain rang throughout the battlefield, the enemy soldiers soon stopped moving through the water and started going through the path that leads to the main gates.

"KNOCK THE GATES DOWN!!!" a few soldiers roared as they started using their shoulders to knock down the gate.

*thud*

*thud*

The large wooden gate started getting indented from the mass of soldiers hitting it, the knight's waiting behind the gates started gulping nervously and sweat ran down their faces.

*plop*

Soon a tall figure jumped down in front of them and turned around, a tall man with black and red armor, a red cloak flowed behind him and his long and elegant white hair traveled to the middle of his back… this was naturally Caesar.

"Do not fear them, remember your training!" Caesar roared out from the front… The knight's nervousness suddenly disappeared with that strong back in front of them.

Caesar gripped his spear tightly and stared at the soon to break wooden gate without blinking… "I must win!" He thought to himself silently.

*thud*

*thud*

Every time the wooden gate was crashed upon the knights felt their heartbeat rise…

*crack*

Soon the wooden gate started cracking in the middle, and the hinges on the side were one by one being knocked off.

"PREPARE!" Caesar roared as he got in an attacking position

*BANG*

The enemy soldiers finally knocked down the gates and flooded in like an endless stream while roaring.

"AHHHHH!"

The knights looked the upcoming enemies quietly and tightened their grips, suddenly Caesar moved forward and roared "FORWARD!"

The knights didn't hesitate to follow Caesar and all moved forward as well.

*CRASH*

As if a train collided with the enemies they started being flung and pushed back, even with their superior numbers they could not handle the might of Caesar's trained troops.

"DO NOT FALTER, MOVE FORWARD" Caesar roared from the front.

"YES MARSHALL!" The Knights roared back

Every step Caesar made he slashed down with his long spear… heads went flying and a river of blood left in his wake.

Two enemy soldiers tried stabbing Caesar with their swords however he just shifted his body slightly to the right and stabbed his spear in one of their hearts. He kicked the body and pulled his spear out of him and slashed at the other one.

*splurt*

Blood rained down from the decapitated head painting Caesars armor red… Soon within the enemy ranks, Caesar spotted that young man that had wanted him to kneel and beg for forgiveness.

Caesar smiled sinisterly and slowly moved through the endless stream of enemies… the knight's following behind Caesar were much stronger than the enemy, however, the enemies sheer numbers were a huge threat.

*puch*

One of the knights was pierced through the neck by a lucky enemy soldier….

"GEORGEE!" one of the knight's witnessing this scene roared out in anger…. "ILL KILL ALL OF YOU BASTARDS"

Caesar and the knights one step at a time moved forward, they were like an impregnable wall stopping the enemy from passing.

Richard looked at the tall man clad in black and red armor, his eyes turned serious "If I can just kill that bastard the rest of the knights will lose hope and die soon after" he thought to himself as he started moving forward to him.

After about 5 minutes of constant fighting Caesar and Richard finally were face to face… Richard gripped his sword tightly as he slowly walked forward.

Caesar looked down at him with his superior height and also started slowly walking towards him, soon they were three feet apart and Richard opened his mouth first "heh, you're going to bathe in hell's flame you bastard"

"Heh, thankfully I have already saved a penny for the ferryman," Caesar said with a sarcastic tone as he rushed forward… Caesar's speed was not to be underestimated, he reached just inches away from Richards' face in a split second.

*cough*

Caesar kneed Richard in the abdomen and blasted him back before he could even react, Richard coughed up some blood as he rubbed his stomach and looked at Caesar with shock.

"H-how are you so strong?" he stuttered with disbelief

"It is not that I am strong, just you are too weak," Caesar said as he once again rushed forward, this time he stabbed with his spear aiming at Richard's heart.

*WHISH*

Suddenly a blast of wind blew Caesar back and stopped his attack… Caesar looked up at the woman standing behind Richard.

"Richard, let's fight together," Anna said with a serious tone

Richard nodded and looked back at Caesar with cold eyes.

Caesar looked around at his soldiers fighting to the death and losing their lives… suddenly Caesar's eyes grew a deeper shade of red as his anger grew.

"I'm getting a sense of Deja vu, but this time it's different," Caesar said towards Anna and Richard.

Suddenly the nails on Caesar's hands grew an inch and a black mist started escaping from his body…

"Even if the skies were to fall I would still carry it on my shoulders, I will never fall. For I am the MARSHALL OF RAHVIN KINGDOM" His shout echoed throughout the entire battlefield… it felt as though time stopped as all eyes concentrated at Caesar.
