Clash

|3rd POV|

Garun looks at the horizon and frowns. He did not know what it was, but his sense of danger kept screaming at him. He can also feel the air changed. He can feel a chilling wind coming from the north.

He wants to make his army stay alert, but he knows that he cannot do that. He needs to keep his army fresh and ready to fight. If he makes his army stay awake and alert, they cannot handle another attack.

"How is the situation? Did you see any movement?"

"Yes. However, their movement is bizarre. Instead of moving toward us, they move back to the north."

"North? Are they retreating? No… That is impossible. They have the high ground and good position to attack and defend. He can also teleport his monster in our direction… Wait! Teleport!"

Garun looked at his lieutenant and shouted.

"Blow the war horn! We are under attack!"

"Pardon?"

"Blow the goddamn horn! We are under attack!"

The lieutenant looks at his lord in confusion but decides to obey the order and blow the war horn. The soldier just barely closed their eyes, immediately got up from the ground, and took their weapon and shield.

True to Garun's word, Isaac and his army appear a few hundred meters from their camp and the small fort they built. When he saw the banner of the Lionheart family, he grits his teeth. Isaac Lionheart is personally leading the army.

"Move! Move! Move! Shield front! Spear second! Archer, come here! Someone wake that lazy bastard mage! We need them here!"

While Garun is busy ordering his troops to create a formation, Isaac and his unit are marching fast and steady. However, when he saw the enemy gathering at one point and tried to make a formation, he shouted.

"Lucina took the second cavalry unit to their left-wing! Lord Byron takes the third cavalry unit to their right wings! Harass them! First cavalry unit! With me! The rest of you, play the war sound!"

Lucina and Daniel Byron rally up their unit and begin to charge toward the incomplete formation of the Vulux Army. Isaac also rallied his unit and charged from the center. Each of their unit

Garun took out his shield and jumped down from the wall, then shouted, seeing the charging army.

"First unit with me! The second unit took the left-wing! The third unit takes the right-wing! Don't let those bastards destroy the formation!"

After saying that, Garun and his unit take the center, put down his shield, and flare up his physical energy. His unit also does what Garun is doing, and suddenly a massive, almost transparent barrier appears in front of them.

"You want to defeat me?!? Do you want my head, boy?!? Come and get them!"

"HU! HA!"

Just a few meters away from Garun and his unit, Isaac activates his star run.

"Twinkling Star!"

Thirty lasers came from the sky and hit the barrier Garun, and his army created. Some of the lasers successfully breach the barrier and kill twenty soldiers instantly as the barrier cannot regenerate fast enough to block all the barrage.

Seeing this weakness, Isaac activates his star rune once again. This time, Isaac aims for a different weakness and uses another spell.

"Comet!"

After he invokes the name of the spell, a flaming meteor comes from the sky.

"What is that?!?"

One of Garun's soldiers shouted while looking at the sky. Garun looked to the sky and widened his eyes before shouting.

"Damnit!"

Garun flares up his physical energy even more and extends the barrier to protect them from the air attack. He gritted his teeth when the meteor impacted the barrier. He can feel his reserve depleting at a fast rate as he tries to save his men.

"Kick that damned rock away from the barrier! I cannot hold it any longer!"

One of the soldiers jumps high and enchants his arm before punching the heavy rock away. With the rock getting away, Garun now can save some of his physical energy because Isaac and his army are just fifty meters away from him.

Garun widens his eyes when he sees another incoming laser and strengthens the barrier. He ignores his men screaming when the laser gets through the barrier. He needs to focus on when the impact is coming.

When Isaac and his army are just thirty-meter away from him, Isaac raises his hand, and suddenly two hundred Gate Guardians appear in front of him and charge first before Isaac and his army.

"Urgh."

He can feel the impact that shook his bones. He knows that he cannot last long if he stays here.

"Retreat! We need to join the formation!"

Lucky for Garun, the formation is complete, and he can see the magician already preparing their spell.

"You go, my lord. We will hold this monster."

"I will remember your sacrifice."

"It is an honor, my lord."

With that being said, Garun began to run away from the battlefield and back to his main army. Behind him is Isaac, who successfully punches through the barrier and begins to kill the one thousand armies of the Vulux Kingdom.

After being done with the distraction, Isaac looks at his summoned creature and orders some of them to help the left and right-wing.

"It looks like we cannot destroy the formation right now. I was also worried about the image on top of the wall chanting something. Looking at how long they chanted, I think it was a massive spell. Send someone to the left and right win, then inform them to rally here. We will launch a massive charge at the fort in front of us."

"Yes, my lord."

Isaac looks at the enemy in the distance and begins to think.

"By the look of it, the mage on the wall will cast a powerful spell. It has been at least five minutes since that mage started his chant. I also need to wait for the other army to arrive. The East and West will arrive in ten minutes as I already set the teleport. The south will arrive later, around twenty minutes from now, because they need to take the longer route. Should I do a frontal attack or long-range fighting?"

*ROAR*

Isaac snaps from his thoughts when he hears a roar coming from the fort. When he looks at the fort, he can see a long deep-red serpent coming from the sky. I think the length of that thing is around one hundred to one hundred and fifty meters.

Isaac did not want to do that thing, so he decided to use his Darkness Rune. However, when he tried to use the Finger of Death, nothing happened. The serpent has a rather high affinity to death.

He did not want to use his Final Bell spell as he can only use it once every day. He needs to save just in case something bad happens—the same with his True Death spell. Isaac did not know if he still went unconscious when he cast this spell, and he did not want to risk it.

Seeing there is no other way, Isaac decides to choose the third option. Summon his creature and let it fight the monster his enemy summons.

"Summon! Bull of Heaven!"
