Chapter 143: The Hereans & The Trideca-County (3)

We had finally arrived at the town after a almost hour passed of our desperate retreat 10,000 soldiers remaining from our side along with 20,000 stationed here at the town we immediately handle and heal those in critical state as I go gather the others for a urgent meeting before over a hundred thousand enemies arrive in the lead of Emperor Ghero himself, for the civilians I gathered them at the center of the town all of them from above & underground there's a siege gonna happen soon we should secure the civilians as I look around of our army...we can't win against them now but just a plain retreat wouldn't do anything only taint on our glorious reputation what kind of plan should we do? I gathered the 13 Counts & Countesses along with their officials and the 8 Hereans Commanders together with other Hereans official a broken town hall where cracks in the floor, ceilings, and walls also burn marks along with black stain around.

" We should retreat but not in a plain way." I said while activating a stimulation board with the entire area of this town and its surroundings it even show the destruction or the current state of the town then I place a hundred thousand enemies coming along with Jin de dragons, Dragoships, Dragosaurs, and the Emperor himself.

" A hundred thousand enemies are coming towards us and we only have 30,000 thousand which ⅓ of it are injured the rest are still not completely recovered from our siege 3 days ago, for its already decided that more than half of our soldiers should retreat now along with those casualties from the previous battle, also we should choose at least 10,000 to defend here and attack them or just hold them until the others retreated kilometers away then if there's still survivors you are all free to retreat." I added and everyone's starts to murmurs to each other while the others are healing the persons here especially Count Zel, Wirxy, Mixell, Neo, and Countess Reah, Vyws, Pyre, also Axah, Bliex, Dassha, Ytir so they're going to retreat along with the others.

" For those who came along with me at the previous battle will automatically retreat and Count Sheallx, Qien, Xeho, and Countess Leax, Therye, Ymex you will fight along with me here also Cayian, Wohss, Xurn, Zenn the four of you will stay, for the rest only the most strongest, powerful, toughest can stay with us." I continued and none of them gave any complaints the others already leaving to inform the soldiers I hope we can just killed 1/10 of their army before completely retreating then Count Xeho was laughing making everyone stay for the meantime.

" Everyone's should retreat now, for I have a plan or a prefect plan so that it will be wonderful retreat, and my eye sight is already back Sir.Lucian." Count Xeho uttered as everyone listen to his plan hahahaha it was truly a wonderful plan but there's such consequence on this yet nothing can disagree with this plan.

3 hours had already passed 20,000 soldiers had already retreated and 10,000 stayed along with me together with those names I said earlier I stationed them all over the town divided into 10 groups those be in the walls, those be in the gates, those be at the top of houses or buildings, those be at the center protecting the civilians, and those outside of the town I watch the enemy's army marching as they stopped in for a while hundred of Dragoships above them with its golden body flying at the sky filled with soldiers and weapons, also dozens of Jin de dragons landing at the frontlines along with Emperor and the Great Jin de Dragon, then thousands of Dragosaurs riders at the side together with some golems the rest are infranty, marksmen, mages, and etc.

" Sir.Lucian everything is secure now." Count Qien said through his divided Elecrys all over the town and I am alone here at a tower where I can all over the place holding a stimulation board we already upgraded this technology that's why such orders are being pile up.

" Leaders of Acun and Soldiers of Acun, our defeat here shouldn't be plain if let the others live but we should die along with taking the enemies to our grave, I, Lucian Herean declared all of you as Heroes today." I stated and they all answered with their battlecry even the army of the enemy heard my statement I did in purpose they might already know some already retreated especially Ghero a person who awakened four times now can truly be called as a Emperor, so I be a Emperor too if I completely awaken for the fourth time?

" 'Jhajhajha, Lucian Herean the warlord of Heroes such a wonderful and heroic speech you had jhajhajha his strategy earlier against you Prince Zho and your army especially at the forest and the unit gonna attack behind, jhajhajha if I was not there here you could've probably die a warlord would always be aaster of the battlefield.'( Golish )" Emperor Ghero at the other side standing at the ground behind him was the Great Jin de Dragon and at his side was Prince Zho along his Jin de dragon both of them injured and almost at the critical state.

" ' I admit it I been ignorant of brininging just a small number of soldiers with me and for thinking so high of us just more than a dozen Jin de dragons including me, I beg forgiveness Emperor Ghero for such failure or such absolutely shame I gave to our family and to our empire.'( Ghero )" Prince Zho said as he bend his kneel and bow his head to the ground along with his hands to the ground together with his dragon kneeling too then Emperor Ghero pats his head with his foot as he laugh.

" ' You're forgiven already Prince Zhou yes you been ignorant but, even with such small number if you just had a big mind of winning like that man standing at that tower you can probably win it dozen times or maybe hundred tomes, I almost forgot we're truly high us Jīnzi Lóng, Jin de dragon riders, and of course the Jin de dragons are truly high, now rise as we gonna start a siege.'( Golish )" Emperor Ghero walking forward as he place hold his weapon and stab it to the ground looking all over the town then shouted.

" Lucian!" I don't know but I heard him clearly even the others could've heard him.

" Greetings Emperor Ghero and please surrender to Acun." I said while sending one of those Elecrys as our communication and he just laugh while waving his hand towards me.

" Greetings Lucian Herean and I felt glad or happy for such offer given by you a warlord, yet I need to decline but what about this, for as I am the Emperor of this Empire I offer all Hereans! to join us and be one with us." Emperor Ghero stated tsk such obsession to Hereans yet Amaris & Czarina already had a child I'm glad they treated that perfectly soon enough our grandchild would be a great use for peace between these two empires that's already in our minds.

" We decline, and Emperor Ghero we're Heroes not Traitors so..." I said yet he laugh so loud along with clapping his hands.

" Yes you're all Heroes, all the Hereans are Heroes but, why some of the Nobles or leaders of Acun including the Novuns treated the Hereans as traitors? isn't it fair to be trwted like that? or the Acun leaders as just envious of House Hereans? so I will accept all Hereans and even create a law that who ever call the Hereans as traitors would be executed along with his/her family in short a complete genocide." Emperor Ghero this madman and I look at my family members some are kind of gloom or agreeing with him I admit it his offer is such a seducing one but the Hereans just laugh surprising the enemies and our allies hahaha why should be accept it? we just gonna be traitors completely.

" House of Herean is a family of Heroes and Heroes of the People so Genocide a sin that affect lots of people lives in short we can't accept such thing like that, we're Heroes not Villains, Emperor Ghero your a Good Hero in your empire but not completely to Easteria cause your a tyrant in the eyes of the other people from the other empires." I said and its true his a tyrant many already titled him as a tyrant outside from his empire yet Emperor Ghero ignore it he just focus on his people, his empire, his homeland.

" So Sir.Lucian am I a tyrant on your eyes?" Emperor Ghero asked hahahaha I shakes my head as I point my sword towards him.

" You're a Good Hero to your people, you're a tyrant to the others people, yet your just a True Emperor in my eyes who will do everything for the Empire will rule and lead to the future." I answered hahaha his not a tyrant for me his a true emperor who would do everything for his empire and Emperor Ghero laugh so much than before if we're not just enemies I would serve you but...I already have someone to serve for thousands times.

" Such words Sir.Lucian Herean, Fire." Emperor Ghero ordered as hundred of Dragoship launch a huge ball of fire coming out from the golden dragon head on its front flying towards here.

" Countess Therye & Countess Leax, repel!" I commanded as I look at the stimulation board where I can see hundred of those huge ball of fire flying towards us.

" Tarle Golems! launch!" Countess Therye shouted as dozens of Robelems along with the Tarle soldiers gathering magic & mana to its hands as they launch it towards their attack the Tarle group above the walls sent pairs of ball of ruby-like flames.

" Nighaw Riders! Nyx Tornado commence!" Countess Leax riding her Nighaw along with the others as half of them fly to the sky leaving their positions above the walls and starts to cast spells while moving around the sky as they created a tornado of magical spells countering those Huge ball of golden fire yet there are still of it strikes the town.

I can see at this board where they hit and how's the damage spreading or not " Wohss & Xurn! prepare, and fire!" I commanded as their groups standing above the houses and magic-users along with machines together they amplified their power along with aura users at it.

" Xurn let us count how many of them will die!" Wohss shouted as his group immediately shoot up to the sky attacks coming from a machine with a three headed cannon-like fires such ray to the sky then going to strike to the ground in a way of a rain of spells.

" Of course my group will win!" Xurn shouted as his group shoot a huge balls straight to the sky and striking down to the ground then will turn into numerous small balls, for the purpose of these machines are to gather all spells into one temporary and send it to the distance of the enemy.

" ' Jin de Dragon Mages! Defend! and Jin de Dragon Knights! and Dragosaurs riders! attack!'( Golish )" Emperor Ghero ordered as mages casting defense and counter-spells towards our attacks along with the knights and riders running towards to the town.

" Count Sheallx! and Cayian! attack!" I ordered as I can see thousands are running towards us and their group are outside of the town as I ordered them to face the enemy before reaching the gates.

" Syre Khan! hahahahah let us die!" Count Sheallx shouted as his soldiers along with him marching towards the enemies and Cayian together with his unit spreading outside as they run together with Sheallx's group.

" We fight even in death! For Acun!" Cayain shouted as both sides finally clash and Jin de dragon knights breathing fire while our side attacking them desperately with the support of two groups behind the gates.

" Countess Ymex can you handle it for long." Count Qien on talking with her through the elecrys and his units are providing our allies outside with enhance of their defense, strength, power, and etc while leaving themselves defenseless.

" Of course I can and hahaha I'm glad I will die like this." Countess Ymex smiling as her unit providing our allies outside with great healing and a field outside degrading our enemies temporary yet leaving their group defenseless.

" ' Dragoships move! Jin de dragon mages fly and attack! the others stay and protect yourselves! Prince Zho you should go accompany them.'( Golish )" Emperor ordered as Prince Who immediately fly towards us along with his dragon and those Dragoships keeps firing towards us also those Mages keeps countering our spells I can't believe they can even counter those attacks from our groups above the walls.

" Count Xeho and Zenn! protect the civilians!" I ordered as such some of the enemy's attacks are going towards at their area at the center where we gathered all civilians inside and underground.

" Xelet dream activate!" Count Xeho as he was sitting on a chair and his group creating a illusionary sky above them as it turn some of the enemy's attacks into harmless.

" A Great Illusion...Everyone follow me!" Zenn shouted as she created a circle of blood in everyone's feet and cover their entire body as they turn into very tall monster catching some of the attacks then return or toss it a side.

" ' No more soldiers will go, move back and let the others finish it.'( Golish )" Emperor Ghero ordered as the soldiers behind step back from the battlefield while he go climb the back of the Great Jin de Dragon and protect his soldiers from some of our attacks striking down at them.

" Army of Acun. Thank you for our sacrifice." I said as I smile and look around the town be it inside or outside where I can see the enemy's winning already Count Sheallx dying in flames and Cayian stabs with dozens of spears after a couple of minutes had already passed.

Countess Ymex & Count Qien dying easily as the enemies finally breached inside the town as they're moving closer and closer to the other groups, while 5 minutes had already passed Countess Leax & Countess Therye and their group died completely after defending from three sides attacks by those mages, those dragoships, and those who breached inside.

After 6 groups had already annihilated in just another couple of minutes Xurn & Wohss died as they fall and murdered brutally then Emperor Ghero fly towards here at my position, for minutes passed again Count Xeho and Zenn are going to die soon enough as I am facing the Emperor right now.

" Its almost 10 minutes already and I can't believe your army still pulls thousand or more of mine to their grave even those I tried to protect some of them still die, yet Sir Lucian take my hand and you can still live." Emperor Ghero said as he offer his hand towards me while riding the Great Jin de dragon I smile as I look back again Zenn finally died after being devour by a dragon and Count Xeho is going to die soon hahaha the plan is a success.

" Okay and we shall meet again, Emperor Ghero." I shakes his hand with a smile as the enemy finally killed Count Xeho while the survivors...disappear in instant Emperor Ghero and his army look around the dead bodies of our soldiers disappearing one by one.

" How? illusion? Xeho right?" Emperor Ghero asked and I mods my head.

" Count Xeho is the Hero for this battle we sacrifice his five senses and be unable to use them for months so we gonna send him back to the empire, also all of us had already retreated we just left our illusion here if you can't understand this plan..." I replied and Emperor Ghero just laugh as his soldiers are confused looking all over the place.

" This is not just a simple illusion, while all of you retreated and Count Xeho using this spell all of you are truly attacking that's why thousand or more of my soldiers died, for all of those attacks are real jhajhajha a teleportation and a illusion at the same time am I right, Sir.Lucian." Emperor Ghero hhahahahah such a accurate detail hahahaah while I and the Acun Army retreating and our illusion here for the attacks & spells they did was truly being casted & acted by us just teleporting it here then acting like it was done here.

" Yes and Count Xeho is truly a hero hahahah thank you for a wonderful fight, Emperor Ghero." I said as my illusion finally disappeared and we focus running away for kilometers away from the town going towards one of our camps.

" Your welcome and we shall meet again, Sir.Lucian Herean." Emperor Ghero commanded his army to gather outside and he secure the civilians after the battle ended.

It would took us days before reaching the nearest camp none died on our side everyone still alive hahahah, For Acun we live not die.
