Hold

Sorry for late chapter, One of our electricity lines broke and we had no Power for a day. But thankfully i wrote this in 'My Notes' Lol

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hold... Hold."

'This is good, as long as we hold them up here we will be able to buy time for Calisto and his men. What i need now is to keep it.'

They were in Testudo formation so it will be difficult to rain them down with arrows. But he can't keep this much longer, if he doesn't attack they will try to make a move.

"Northern Scum! Drop your weapons!"

"Come and Get Them!"

The enemy did not fall for such taunting bu instead waited. After a little while of thinking, Arthur made a plan. The archers will focus fire on the enemy at the front, then when they have been severely weakened Arthur will charge along with his Cavalry, it will not be enough to Route the Enemy but it will be enough to greatly weaken them. Then, Arthur will retreat.

When Arthur have safely retreated They will then attack the center on foot with the rest of his Men, they will be in Wedge Formation with the flanks bent, the flanks will be bent so that when the enemies at the flanks decide to attack them, they will be ready for it.

"Archers! Fire on the enemy at the Front! Infantry! Wedge Formation with the Flanks Bent! Legionnaires at the Center and Praetorians at the Flanks!"

The Soldiers hurried to do as they were commanded. The Archers started Firing at the Enemy in Front.

The Archers harrassed the Enemy at the Front and in Return they Fited they're own Archers. But the enemy Archers were less effectuve due to the Infantrymen's shield covered they're front and top.

Then after a while, the enemy stopped firing and they Marched towards them. Arthur didn't expect this but this is also good.

"Archers! Cease Fire! Cavalry with me! Wedge Formation! Infantry! Open up the Center!"

The Infantrymen opened the Center for the Cavalry.

"CHARGE!!!"

As soon as the word left his mouth, Arthur kicked his horse and Rode straight to the Enemy. Horns souned, and Battle Cries erupted.

They crased in the enemies disorganized formation, he instantly swung his sword to anyone he could see, he chopped off Heads, Arms, and many other things. The rest of the Cavalry were also swinging at the enemies, some of them were dragged off their horse and butchered by the enemy.

This went on for about a Minute, but after seeing the enemies formation being Organized again, He retreated.

"RETREAT! Get behind the Infantry Lines!"

They retreated behind His Legionnaires Lines and onky about 15 men came back with him. They dismounted off they're horse and went with the Legionnary. Arthur picked up a Spear along the way.

"Advance! Throw Pilums when i say so!"

They slowly advanced to the enemy, they were now in the middle of the street inching closer and closer to the Enemy.

"Flanks! Hold! Center! Throw your Pilums!"

The Praetorians Held the flanks in shieldwall formation, While the Legionnaires threw their Pilums at the enemy, they were able to launch two salvo's until the enemy charged straight into them.

"Hold! Hold the Line! Let them come to Their Deaths!"

The enemy reached them, and All Hell Broke Loose. Shields banging against each other, swords clashing, men screaming to the top of their lungs.

Arthur moved swiftly, open a gap in the line, thrust the spear, close the gap, repeat. They were Holding nicely, the enemy can't break into their defense, and the enemy were being killed by his elite Legionnary.

"My Lord! The flanks have been attacked! The Praetorians are Holding Well!"

"Good! Keep this up and we will win the Day!"

Arthur went back to killing the enemy at the front, slashing, thrusting, to any enemy he saw. He thrusted a spear through one of his soldiers shoulders, and it peirced through an enemies skull, just then a spear came aimed at his head, he dodged it swiftly but his Shoulders aren't as lucky as his Head.

Arthur found the man who thrusted the spear and he thrusted a spear of his own, it peirced the Man's skull and instantly died.

Just then a Horn Blow was heard. Up to 300 Cavalrymen moving at speed of what seemed like Thunder, Crashed at one of the Praetorians Holding his Flank. With the Combined pressure of the Infantry and Cavalry, the Praetorians Line broke and the Cavalry was able to Ride past them. The Enemy Cavalry did not stop there though as they Rode for the Backs of the Praetorians Holding the Right side. Both Flanks broke and they were now surrounded.

"Retreat! Circle Formation!"

They quickly did as ordered falling back from the fight and quickly formed Circle Formation.

"If we break through that line all of you will be massacred by us! Surrender now and all of you shall be taken Prisoners! I give you my Word!"

"If."

"Very well. Show no Mercy."

With the Captains word. The Sellswords Attacked them from all sides, they held for some time but some Sellswords broke through the line. Arthur quickly took Action and faced all of them, He thrusted his spear to a person but he quickly dodged it, but Arthur instantly recalled back the spear and swung it around his back, the spear's end slashed the person's chest, and quickly bled out.

Using the momentum Arthur jumped, spun in the air and kicked another Man's knee, the Man's knee gave up and he knelt, then Arthur thrust the spear in the Man's Face.

More men were breaking through the Line and Arthur along with Raganvad were fending the off the ones insed the Circle. Arthur was surrounded by seven men, One got cocky and swung his sword onto him, Arthur quickly parried it with the Spear's Handle, he hit the Man's stomach with the blunt end of the spear then thrusted it to an unsuspecting Soldier, he quickly turned around, and swung the Spear to hit the Man's neck who were in pain due to the Spear's blunt end, Two.

Another one tried to thrust a Spear on his back, he quickly dodged it and threw the person to another one, they hugged each other and Arthur peirced both of their stomach. Four.

Onky three of them were left and they were now worried. Arthur Faked a thrust at one of them and he fell for it. The person tried to parry an Imaginary Spear and Arthur quickly Thrusted the spear in an open Area. Five.

One of the two swung a sword at Him, this one was good. They exchanged blow at Each other, both finding it Hard to cut through an open area. Arthur thrusted the spear to the Man and he Parried it, Arthur then spun the Spear to try and Cut the Man's stomach but it was Parried too, the Man took the advantage and aimed for Arthur's head but was able to dodge it.

Then, the other Person was able to sneak behind him and pierced a spear in his foot. He quickly fell to a Kneeling position, both of them swunf their sword at him but with the lenght of his spear he was able to Parry it. Then, he kicked the other Man with his Free Foot and he thrusted his spear at the Person's Stomach, the Person didn't expect it and Arthur pierced the Mans's stomach, he turned to the other one who was still trying to get up, and he Pierced the Man's Skull. Seven.

He quickly removed the spear in his Foot, then he looked around. The Enemy were slowly Breaking through them, it will not be Long until they get Defeated, this is how it will end.

But as he was thinking about Defeat a loud booming Voice cut across the Street.

"Stop the Fight! Your Contractor has other plans in mind! Want to hear it!? He says the contract is now over and you shall get what is need to be paid to you!"
