Chapter.53 The First Clash Between the Two!!

…..

The sun had risen and with it, the two armies awoke to the birds chirping while the sun gleamed light down upon them covering the river, forest, and even the mountains. It was this day a battle that was carved into every warlord's mind took place.

Tianlong: Captain Hu! Take 500 and reinforce the walls!! Move fast we don't have long!!

The shouts of Tianlong and his captains resounded through the camp as they were dishing out orders and preparing for the oncoming siege.

From afar Alexander could see the enemy moving back and forth quickly spreading along the wall.

Prince Alexander: Hmph!! They think a mere wooden wall and fort can stop this prince!?

Advisor: my Prince you must not underestimate this general! He is someone who might unite these lands if he is fortunate enough to survive this battle!!

Prince Alexander: I don't care whether he is someone who will unite these lands!!! He is just another general that will fall before this prince!!!

After that conversation, Alexander started moving his army forward leaving the advisor who was shaking his head at his prince's response.

The advisor muttered something as alexander marched forward.

Advisor: My king, pray your son survives this challenge…. if not, his stubbornness will be the death of him.

Tianlong had already patrolled each wall and visited each captain telling them the plan for their side before returning to the center at sunrise.

Soon Alexanders army stood towering in front of the makeshift wall and fort waiting to crush Tianlong.

Tianlong saw a figure ride forward before shouting out.

Prince Alexander: MY BROTHERS! TODAY WE HAVE GATHERED TO PLUNDER, RAPE AND ENSLAVE ANYTHING IN OUR PATH!!! WE WON'T LET SOME ARMY OF 8THOUSAND STOP US!!! WE SHALL BATHE THIS NEW LAND IN BLOOD TILL WE CONQUER IT!!!

Tianlong stood silently and watched the massive army start swarming towards the wooden walls and forts carrying ladders hoping to scale the walls.

Tianlong continued to watch even when they started getting closer but before they reached the walls Tianlong started to speak.

Tianlong slowly raised his head and looked at the oncoming enemy and yelled out. COME, BROTHERS!!! BY OUR OWN HANDS WE SHALL TURN INTO DEMONS AND KILL TILL BLOOD FLOWS IN THIS ENTIRE VALLEY!!! BY OUR SPEARS, SWORDS, HALBERDS, BOWS AND EVERYTHING WE SHALL CARVE AN UNTOLD LEGEND WITH BLOOD AS WE MAKE OUR LAST STAND!!!! SO, COME BROTHERS!!! FOLLOW ME YOUR INSANE GENERAL AS I BECOME AN ASURA OF DEATH!!!! WE SHALL TREAD AN UNBREAKABLE PATH FOR OUR FAMILIES AND PROTECT OUR WOMEN AND LAND!!!!

When the soldiers who were slowly accepting death heard that strong, prideful and unafraid voice of death the soldiers turned to look and saw a black figure donning a purple cape who was slowly riding forth to the gate with a spear in hand. When they saw that figures back, they saw untold strength which made them become inspired.

Tianlong arrived before the gate which was slowly breaking and gave one last shout to his men.

Tianlong: FIGHT TO THE DEATH BROTHERS!!!!!!

When that final sentence was said the soldiers, who were originally scared shouted out with a new-found strength.

Soldiers: RAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

KILL THE ENEMY!!!!

TO THE DEATH!!!

PROTECT OUR WOMEN!!!!

KILLLLL!!!!!!!!!

FOLLOW THE GENERAL!!!!!!

When the gate which was slowly being broken by the enemy opened it surprised them but before they could swarm inside 3thousand soldiers stood strong while looking at that figure in black as his spear danced like a dragon claiming life afterlife.

When Tianlong decided to fight to the death, he already resolved himself to face death unafraid. Since he was at deaths edge, he decided he would become a demon and kill countless as he defended this makeshift pass with his army.

As Tianlong and his men in the center made their no turning back mission ready to face death head-on seven figures were seen riding horses could be seen riding while carrying a pale white, well built, curvy figure as they looked back.

Messenger Zhu along with Lieutenant Fu and captains, Lin, Ling, Hu, Ming, and Zhou were currently performing the mission their general had given them. When Tianlong decided to fight to the death with his captain's he secretly told the other captains and messenger Zhu to send Lingqi out only leaving Tianlong and his 8thousand to face the army of 23thousand. Of course, Fu Chen along with the rest opposed this decision but was forced to by Tianlong who was adamant on staying.

Great Tsar Prince Alexander watched from afar as his army laid siege on this wooden fort but still weren't able to make any gains which infuriated him to the point where he killed the General in charge which caused distress in the now command-less soldiers who kept rushing forward to their death against this unwavering army.

Great Tsar Prince Alexander: NOT ONLY ARE ANY OF YOU CAPABLE!!! YOU CAN'T EVEN TAKE OVER A FORT GUARDED BY 8THOUSAND!! 8THOUSAND GODDAMN SOLDIERS!!!!!

Tsar: But my prince!! This army has a person like you!!!

Tsar 2: my prince!! Within the gate there lies a mighty general colored in black who stands tall with his spear!!!

When Alexander was about to yell out again, he paused after he heard there was a mighty general who used a spear.

Great Tsar Prince Alexander: Oh!? I wonder what kind of figure dares to compare spear arts with this prince, Royal Guards!! To me, we ride for the gatehouse!!! I wish to see if this prince has found a rival!!!

Advisor: But my prince!!! You must value your life!!! It's not worth finding out!!! Let one of the tsars go!!!

When the advisor said that Alexander sneered and continued riding off without looking back as he made his way towards Tianlong with eyes filled with passion for finding a possible rival in the spear.

Soon an hour had passed and with it, Tianlong grew exhausted from the skirmishes for the gate but still stood strong as he was the last bit of hope these men swore to fight to the end.

Soldier: General Lu a mysterious group of cavalry is heading towards the gate bearing a strange symbol!!!

When the lookout soldier said those words Tianlong's attention was immediately caught and from the back of countless waves, a group of cavalry could be seen rushing forward.

Tianlong: Men!! Brace for the incoming cavalry!!! We shall stop them dead in their tracks!!!

Soldiers: Follow the general!!!

Kill!!!!

Brace!!!

Stop Them in their tracks!!!!!

Urrraaagghhhh!!!!

(Alexander's POV)

Royal Guard: My prince! We are closing in on the gatehouse!! Do we charge straight through!?

When the guard spoke, Alexander woke up from his void-like state and saw they were nearing the skirmish for the gatehouse.

Great Tsar Prince Alexander: Yes! Charge straight through!!! We shall leave a path of slaughter!!!

After Alexander said those words the guards around him started howling and sped up trampling anything in their path.

Soon both parties were getting closer and closer, and finally, both Tianlong and Alexander let out mighty war cries.

Tianlong and Alexander: BRAACCCEEE!!!!!, CHAAARRGGEE STRAIGHT THROUGH!!!!!! URRRAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
