Chapter 88 Wyvren Riders

"Queen!" Zenda felt quite a headache seeing Tisha running toward them with a worried face. Tisha was the last person Zenda wanted on the battlefield.

She knew even though she was rather strong, in close-range fights she was like a child that can't even protect herself.

"Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?" Unlike what Zenda expected, Tisha first went for Nikol who was a little confused by how she acted.

She almost undressed him fully to check his body to find any injuries with her smooth movements and her agility always surprised Nikol.

"I'm fine, Tisha, we should deal with them first," Hearing his words, she looked at Zenda who was a little dissatisfied by her behaviour.

'Did she forget about me?'

Many different thoughts came into her mind but for now, she just forget them as they were facing a huge crisis.

"Queen, you're not allowed to be here, it will be a problem if they injure you so go back please,"

While keeping an eye on the wall, she quickly requested but seeing Tisha's unwilling face, Zenda didn't know what to do.

"If she's powerful, why don't we let her stay here?" Lydia was honestly confused by their behaviour. She questioned Zenda expecting answers from her.

"She's powerful, way too powerful," Her words caught everyone's attention.

"But her physical strength is so bad, she won't even be able to survive one close-range attack," Tisha looked troubled but she understood that being stubborn won't do anything here other than harm.

As the queen, she had to be flexible at times and take decisions for the greater good of the race. Tisha knew it is a fatal mistake to refuse the advice of someone like Zenda who is a seasoned warrior in battle.

"I will go, but not even one of you is allowed to die here," She looked at everyone with sad eyes.

"Zenda, I will do my best to help but I will need time so until then try to hold this battle,"

Tisha ordered her while she quickly went back but Zenda asked two elves to follow her so they could protect her.

Right after they left everyone including Lydia's group came to help out with the war and all of them were equipped with long-range weapons like bows and javelins.

"Zenda, do you have mana cannons?" Lydia questioned as she believed they will help this war more than anything since it is a defensive battle.

"Mana cannons?" Breaking all the expectations of Lydia, every elf looked at her with confusion like they didn't even know what it was.

'Looks like they are far behind human technology'

Thinking about all these things, Nikol looked at the girls who were climbing the magical wall with ease. He didn't know what kind of magic they used for this as they gracefully stepped on the leaves as they created a foothold for them.

"Zenda, what do we do?" With a whole group of girls behind Lydia, she questioned while getting ready to support elves.

Even though they were planning all these things explosions kept happening outside the wall. They weren't too worried about it as they had confidence in their goddess's gift but still it was annoying to hear loud voices, especially in a forest-like area like this.

Most of the elves kept shooting their arrows at dark elves while some girls from Lydia's group also helped them. They thought this is going to be a long battle as none of them made a significant move.

"We don't have much to do except to shoot them with arrows until Tisha gets ready with her magic,"

"What magi-" Emily couldn't finish her sentence as they suddenly heard a shocking sound from the sky. The whole area where Nikol and the others were standing got covered by the shadows of something rather big.

"Wyverns!" Zenda shouted as everyone quickly tried to shield themselves from the aerial attack but for some elves, it was useless as they were too late. They got injured as these wyvren attacks were too fast.

Even though Wyverns looked like dragons, they were rather inferior to them. They couldn't breathe fire like normal dragons in fantasy stories or they couldn't even use magic. They had mana in their scales to protect them and give a rather good hardness which was a positive point for them but they were rather weak if they couldn't fly so fast.

"Damn it!" All of them shouted in frustration.

"Shoot! Shoot! Don't let them attack," All the elves kept shouting while trying to shoot their arrows but most of them couldn't even reach them as it was too high for them.

Nikol took a quick peek to see what was happening only to see three wyverns attacking everyone. Some dark elves were riding these monsters guiding them to attack.

*Tsk

"Our normal arrows can't reach them," Zenda shouted in frustration taking her own bow to attack them but unlike others, Lydia sensed her mana collecting as she was casting some kind of a spell.

"What are you?" Nikol questioned but Zenda suddenly released the arrow aiming at one of the riders.

Unlike what others expected it managed to reach one of the riders and injure her shoulders making others surprised.

It didn't finish her off as it was just a normal injury but her bravery and skills managed to increase others' confidence as they started to fight more motivated by this.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm a wind mage so, of course, I can control the speed of my arrows," Seeing everyone looking at her with a strange look she quickly explained. It wasn't surprising to hear she had such an amazing ability but still, it was spectacular to see someone using magic this proficiently.

"Do you have a spear or something?" Looking at the three monsters with narrowed eyes, Nikol questioned Zenda.

Lydia, Emily and Alva weren't a big help to them as all of them were experts in close ranges battles. Only Zenda was able to at least damage them even a little.

"I think we have, what are you going to do?" All of them were confused about why he wanted a spear. Lydia thought it was to protect himself but they didn't know it was for an entirely different task.

"Here take this!" She handed him over a mediocre-looking wooden spear after a few minutes, but unlike what he expected it was so strong. For a moment he thought it was a metal spear but after feeling its texture he knew it wasn't.

"Do you want this again?"

"No, we have a lot of those what are you going to do?" Nikol just laughed looking at her as he quickly took a posture like he was trying to throw a javelin. His posture looked like an athlete that is getting ready to throw their javelin as he bent his back.

"Nikol!" It didn't even take a few seconds for them to open their mouths with surprise as they saw what happened to the spear.

***

Meanwhile, all three wyvern riders kept attacking elves with their quick movement as they had to keep them occupied until their land forces find a way to break the huge wall of trees in front of them. Even though elves couldn't counterattack them, these riders were able to attack as wyverns were rather fast and acted as a good defence since they had hard body scales protecting them.

"Kill every human, don't let anyone hide, and don't get too close,"

"Try to keep elves alive since we will be needing them for our plans,"

All three of them kept screaming at each other until they saw one of their monster getting hit on the head by something hard making a hole in it.

Even though it was already dead when they noticed it, the moment Nikol harmed its brain, this monster lost its control and started to fall like a comet with its huge shadow covering the whole area.

"What?" Even dark elves couldn't believe what they saw as a spear penetrated the head of one strong monster with the hardest scale which is almost not penetrate able.

"Ahhhhhhh! Help me," The dark elf who got attacked by Nikol fell from the back of the wyvern making a huge sound. But unlucky for them, she got crushed by the monster's body making a puddle of blood on the floor creating a disgusting scene for everyone to watch.

All the elves highly dislike seeing their holy kingdom getting dirty like this by unsavoury blood but they didn't have an option as the war already started bringing death to many of them.

"What just happened?" The other two were confused but they quickly got ready for another attack, and just as they expected another attack came in their direction, but this time both of them manage to dodge it by arm's length as they were paying attention to it.

"Retreat! We can't go down, these monsters were hard to find, if another one of them gets killed, our commander will kill us," Seeing that they can't deal with these spears they started to fall back.

But they didn't forget to notice who the attacker was because he could threaten their whole plan to attack the kingdom.

"Damn it! What's with that attack?" Cursing at Nikol, they quickly went back leaving their fallen comrade's body.

"That was amazing!"

"What the hell was that? You never showed it to me before,"

"As expected of our goddess's son,"

Alva, Lydia, Emily and Zenda all started to compliment him seeing his powerful attacks. But none of them was hugely surprised as they knew Nikol wasn't normal like them.

"Let's go back, they might start another attack, before that let's finish this," Coming out of their shelter, they quickly ran in the direction of the wall.

Zenda gritted her teeth in anger seeing all the dead elves lying on the floor with their pitiful expression.

"I won't forgive them!" Just by looking at her others were easily able to tell how angry she was.

"Emily, take injured people to Nym with help of some elves and ask her to treat them, we will finish this here," Lydia ordered to which Zenda just nodded sadly.

Before it was too late all of them got onto the magical wall to see what these dark elves are up to.

"Damn it! So they were already planning to attack us with this many monsters?"

Zelda assumed their goal, as she saw more than 15 monsters with them. There were a few dangerous-looking ones in that army but Zenda didn't hesitate as she ordered everyone to attack them after re-grouping them quickly.

Lydia and her group also helped them to push back these monsters and dark elves but they didn't know how they could put an end to this since there were so many.

"Foolish elves, hand over those humans and we will let you go without harming," Suddenly everyone heard a female voice grabbing everyone's attention.
