Chapter 7 - Drawing blood

He said ''Archers, Swordsmen, Spearmen and shield users form a group respectively.''

The chaos is spreading. I am also very confused like most of the people present here as I do not even know how to use bow and sword both. I have only have information on their use through games but I doubt their credibility. I find using sword much easier than bow so I start moving towards the place where people using swords are gathering. I see many people belonging to different places. Some of them are Russian like me. The group consist of fifty people, twenty males and thirty females. I see a man with a beard practicing with sword. He look like a professional to me. I start copying his moves. I start moving towards him while practicing with my sword.

" Hey, how you doing??"

" I am fine. How you kiddo??''

" I am also fine.''

The awkward pause comes in the conservation. I do not know how to ask him to teach me few skills. I mustered up my courage and said; ''Can you teach me few sword skills ??"

He smiled and said; '' No problem. You see I am only practicing basics of sword." He poked the air with his sword and said; "This is stab''. He start swinging his sword in air while moving his body and said; ''This is slash and I am also moving my body as it will confuse my opponents and decrease their chances of landing attack on me.''

I tried to follow his movements but I am not able to perform them. Seeing this, He said; '' Kiddo wait. What are you doing.'' I replied; '' copying you.'' Hearing this, he start laughing. He said; '' No need to do this. It requires a lot of practice. Learn this simple footwork.'' He start moving two steps forward, backward and sideways. He said;'' This enough for you.'' I keep practicing the sword and footwork for five minutes.

"´Archers on wall. Swordsmen, Shield users and spearmen move out of the castle." Bellowed the demon in loud rumbling voice.

The people quickly followed the demon orders. I quickly following the people moving out of castle. I can see people moving towards us. They are quite far away from us.

" The shield users at front. Swordsmen and spearmen behind them."

The two frontlines full of shield users are formed. I quickly moved behind them. I see the shield users holding the shields with both hands.

The panic spread in people. Suddenly a war cry is shouted by ogre and they start marching towards us.

" Archers start firing arrows. Shield users hold the defense line. The swordsman and spearmen reduce the pressure on shield users by cutting down enemies."

The archers started releasing their arrows on them. They only managed to take down fifteen of them. I also fired fifteen heavy arrows and managed to injured ten of them as they are too close to me which helped me to hit them even with my poor aim. They quickly closed the gap. They start pounding the shields. The shield users are bȧrėly holding them back by thread. I quickly help the shield user by stabbing the centipede pounding his shield. My strike proved to be lethal and I draw out the blood. The blue blood of the enemy washed my face. I nearly start vomiting. ''Ping'' voice sounded inside my head. I said status and screen appeared in front of me.
