In order to distract and confuse the enemy, Tarrar sent out his best cavalry to attack deep inside the enemy’s territory. This will hopefully make the winged-men retreat from the front-line to reinforce the city.
But after that, his cavalry would be long gone, and the front line city would be defenseless.
At the front of the 5,000 elite cavalry was a man with thick armor and a large halberd. He was Zhann, the leader of this elite cavalry.
He was so proud and so happy that he could go to war again. Tarrar was a wise man, and Zhann admired him greatly, but at the same time, he wanted to fight as well.
A wise man avoids battle whenever possible.
Zhann wasn’t a wise man. He was a warrior. A warrior hungry for battle and glory.
Town leader Tarrar knew of his hunger, and that was why he let him lead this attack. But he also sent a bunch of magicians to cover for his mistake. These bugbears were smarter than the average joe.
“They look very strong,” Aldred said, watching the army through Stella’s mirror. He was currently relaxing with Mareona and Mary feeding him some fruit. While hugging the both of them of course.
This was the convenience of having an automated army such as undead and golems.
As Mareona popped another fruit into his mouth, Aldred connected his mind with another golem. This lets him see what the golem sees and also control the golem as if it was his own body.
The golem then morphed into his adult form along with his clothes. He was currently in the storage room of Nakatiharna. But instead of weapons, the storage room was filled with golems.
Aldred wasn’t lazing around all this time. He knew the enemy was strong.
So he created a lot of golems in his free time.
The densely packed golems numbered more than 3,000.
Their numbers consisted of 1,600 fighter golems, 1,000 gunner golems, and lastly, 400 artillery golems.
This was currently his fully golem force, but he will increase that later in the future. With numerous golems and undead fighting for him, he did not have to risk his life or his comrades’ life.
The city of Nakatiharna was turned into a golem factory by Aldred. His worker golems mined materials, and then his Foremen Golem would produce more golems.
Currently, they can only create fighter golems, but Aldred will modify them if he has time.
This was important if he wanted to make a lot of money.
For now, he wanted to enjoy the embrace of Mareona, and Mary.
Of course while watching the battle that was about to unfold later.
“Attack!” Aldred’s mind disconnected from the golem and let it move by itself.
All the golems dashed at the speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The gunner golems, and the artillery golems were far slower, but that wasn’t a problem for now.
“I think we need to make a transportation golem,” Aldred said. “Not to transport us, but to transport those golems.”
Mary nodded. “I didn’t think of that.
In less than an hour, the 3,000 golems reached on top of a hill, and laid low as they watched the cavalry trodding the plain.
After some thought, Aldred decided to only use 400 fighter golems to test their strength. He had never seen a magician bugbear before, so he wanted to know what they could do.
And there was something weird about the cavalry’s weapons. Some kind of colorful sheen occasionally appeared on their blade.
He had to be careful or he might lose big time.
400 fighter golems ran down hill, a few kilometers away from the cavalry.
When the enemy scouts saw the 400 golems, they turned around and informed Zhann.
“400 golems? That’s it?” Zhann said. “Is the enemy underestimating us? What a fool! We’ll destroy those golems and raid their cities!”
“Wait!” One of the magicians said. He was the most powerful of all, and town leader Tarrar had told him to control Zhann when needed.
“Zhann, don’t you think this is weird? Our plan is a secret operation, but the enemy knows of our location, and even sends 400 golems to get in our way.”
“I see nothing weird. The enemy wanted to fight and we should give them the fight. That is all.”
Zhann grinned. “Even if there’s 10,000 golems ahead of us we can still win. We are bugbears! We’re strong!”
The magician frowned. He felt something bad was about to happen. “Alright, we will attack, but if I ask you to retreat, please order your men to retreat.”
“Yeah, whatever, old man! Go! GO! Go! Let’s kill them all!”
“Kill them all!”
The 5,000 elite cavalry charged forward, and soon saw 400 golems gathering in a formation.
Zhann’s eyes lit up, crazed for battle, he roared a loud battle cry.
The magician on the other hand became even more concerned. He raised his staff and casted his buff spell. “Heavy Momentum! Quick Legs! Greater Defense!”
The whole cavalry glowed in a colorful light for a second, and their speed increased significantly.
The other magicians also casted their spell to begin the battle.
“Flatten Terrain!”
The ground around them flattened, making it easier for the cavalry to move forward.
When the cavalry was 500 meters away, the magicians began their offense.
They raised their staff at the same time like they were in sync with each other.
Suddenly, the area around 2 kilometers around them turned red, even the sky turned red, and a powerful force exuded out of the magicians.
“What is that?” Aldred frowned.
The magicians closed their eyes. After a few seconds, they abruptly opened their eyes.
“Red Rain!”
As if literal rain, spears made out of bloody red flame came down from the sky, and crashed onto the golems.
When the golems were destroyed one by one, they failed to regenerate.
Aldred widened his eyes. “How did they do that?”
