The first drip of blood
They tilted the balance to the side that it became turbulent and so that the battle begin. Said to be blood for blood, kin for kin and there was no single exception in the battle. They were all at the same. No one was above higher than the other.
The skies slowly change to black its animosity as raging thunderstorm engulfs the entire continent. The ground shakes intensely. And the wind got stronger as the banners on each faction raised high as their honor depends on it.
Every Innocent person who tried to hide for safety. As they don't want to join the battle of the Golden throne that only forces them to fight for cause that was never for them. And this break because they have no choice.
Swords clashing, spears piercing through flesh and blood dripping on the infertile lands. War cries from factions echoed in the open field.
It was death in their front step. No one is to be spared alive. As they all succumb to greed and power hungry leaders. That made them clash with their might to reign among others.

"We are the one who are promise to sit on the throne and gain power and authority!"
He paused while his decorated armor flashed across his soldiers as they were all ready to fight the other faction on the other side of the open field. He raised his sword and once more he shouted.
"From our ancestors it was a heavenly decree that we will destroy them!"
After those words of encouragement, his entire army screams in rage.
They raised the banner of the Green Dragon Horn, and on the other side of the open field, a banner was also raised high with their pride and honor of the Red Sun. Known kingdom for its flexible cavalry among the 4 kingdoms that ruled the plains.
Their horses neigh while their spears are ready to pierce through flesh. Beside the Red Sun banner, the Yellow Serpent kingdom, know for its heavy shields their defense is the most impenetrable among the 4 kingdoms.

"My shield guards will push forward across the plain while the forces of the Red sun, mostly having cavalry forces, should pin the two flanks of the enemy, then it will create a clash.Then dividing the enemy into pieces. That is what I will suggest my King"
The Yellow serpent king looks at his General and said with a deep voice.
"Do you think our shield guard soldiers as vanguards intercepting those swords of the Green Dragon horn will be sufficient while we wait and let the cavalry of the Red Sun crush the flanks?"
"Yes, my king, that is what I am saying. We will only afford a few losses on the first clash because they acknowledge us as one of the finest and excellent shield guards. The Green Dragon horn that are known for their use of spears and not for close combat like the Blue Dragon kingdom. Except if one of the sub sects or major sects joins in this battle."
The General reasoned out to the Yellow serpent king. While the Red Sun king was eating his food, that was placed on his table.
The Yellow Serpent king looked at the Red Sun king and said.
"Are you letting my General use this kind of strategy?"
The Red sun king looked at his Generals and his Generals only nodded.
"Like what I have said, my generals trust your Head General, known for his wise strategy"
The Red Sun king looked at the General with an observant gaze.
The General nodded even though he felt an intense pressure from the Red Sun king. He turns around and then called the other Generals to his side to create another plan if the first plan will not work.

[The Headquarters camp of the Green Dragon horn]
"No one told me that the Yellow Serpent and the Red Sun are in a compact defense alliance."
The king of the Green Dragon horn outburst in anger as he engulfs his hand with a green essence and smashed the table.
"Do they think me as a coward who will just flee in battle? I am not that sort of King!"
He turns around while his aura slowly changes.
"Liege, please have mercy on us!"
All of his General officer kneel and begged for mercy.
But the Green Dragon Horn King is still full of anger. So he grabbed one of his General from the neck, slowly raising him from the ground. Finger nails of the Green Dragon Horn King pierced through the neck of the General and blood sprays out.
The general struggle to breathe and slowly dies in pain from the choke that the Green Dragon horn king. The other Generals who witness the power of their King. They bowed their heads to the ground in front of their king and were afraid to look at him in the eyes.
He glared at them and said with his loud authoritative voice.
"I want a proposal by today how we can beat two armies with our forces. And I don't want to lose to those scums am I understood!"
Like pups frightened they replied with "Yes, Our liege" and they all raised from their feet and walks out of the tent of their King.
When they make out of the tent alive, they all sigh in relief while the Royal Guards who were guarding the tent were shaking in fear as they heard the scream of the General who are not accounted for when the generals walked out of the tent. The first royal guard that was on the left commented, "So it was real".
[after 2 hours have passed]
All the kings of each kingdom were in front of their armies. War cries echoed louder that it even reach the other army and the drums were a signal for an order. With the beat of the drum echoed along, the signal drums behind the soldiers' are also beat to let the army know the command of their king. And the battle of the Golden Throne has begun.
The vanguard of the Yellow Serpent the shield guards march forward. And the Generals of the Green Dragon horn also ordered their main line to march forward and meet the enemies at the center while the flanks on each side keep and standby.
The head general of the combined forces of the Red Sun and the Yellow Serpent have predicted this movement, which created an opening for the main line of the Green Dragon horned forces at their flanks. The Green Dragon horned generals were also at the forefront of the battle. And after 20 minutes, the clashed of spears and shields have begun. The metal smashing and the blood spurting from the flesh was the sight of the battle.
The first to break formation was from the Green Dragon horned left main line because of the thick shield of the Yellow Serpent. Every time they slash their sword on their shield, the sword only bounces off and shakes. And when the Yellow Serpent shield guards attack it was at the exact time. Their forces were stunned by their attack, which created an opening to stab their bodies.
