Battle of Sura

Currently, many people are working in front of screens inside the command room of an airship of the Sorcerous Empire.

"Captain, we destroyed their headquarter." A man sitting in front of the screen said.

"Hmmm, these Oeselian model airships have shown great performance. Its magic cannon destroyed the entire headquarters with only ten percent power. very good Is the sky free of enemies now?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Have our ground forces arrived?"

"They will arrive in five minutes"

"Hmm ok. Drop some bombs on the city. So that our ground forces don't get in trouble."

"Yes, sir!"

....

Some things are fired from airships towards the ground.

A fireball-like object hits a house. After the impact, there is an explosion that creates dust. Strong winds were also created by the fireballs. The shockwave caused Angelina and her horse to fall quickly.

Angelina suddenly felt like she was losing her hearing. Angelina heard an unpleasant piercing sound that vibrated her eardrums. She even saw everything moving in slow motion and felt as if her whole body was aching.

Angelina tried to get up and found her eyes bloodshot. She then touched her head and discovered that she had been injured.

"What is this painful noise in my ears?" Angelina said to herself, walking towards her horse lying on the ground. Approaching her horse, Angelina immediately realized that it was already dead.

Angelina then grabbed her sword stuck under the horse. The painful sound that entered her ears then disappeared.

Angelina continued towards her destination.

After some distance, she saw the entire air force with their Eagles already dead on the ground. Some were buried under the rubble of the destroyed building.

Seeing this, Angelina became angry.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!"

Angelina screamed and punched the nearest wall. As she punches the wall, her hand starts bleeding.

Injured Angelina continues walking towards the town square. But as she walked she heard another loud noise in the air.

This caused her to look up at the sky again and see a giant dragon flying above her, heading in the direction she had planned to go.

"Don't say... Shit!!!"

Angelina ran with all her might towards the town square.

"I have to get to my people before these bastards!"

Screams Angelina, who was running while her body was covered with wounds. But while running, she suddenly stumbles and falls to the ground.

This causes her to look down at her feet and see that the heels of her boots are already torn.

"Why now?"

Angelina then took them off and ran barefoot to her remaining men.

This was unpleasant, as small pieces of glass and debris could fly several meters from the main target. So the paved road that Angelina was running along was filled with these.

You can even see her skin bleeding from the glass particles on her feet. But Angelina shook off the pain.

Then she said to himself

"Angelina, don't give up! Fight and move forward! It doesn't matter how much pain you feel. Just like your teacher or mom told you. Pain is the way to win! So be patient, Angelina."

But as Angelina was saying these words to herself, she suddenly heard a voice in her head.

"Are you sure about this? What if your mother lied? Is this trouble worth it?"

The voice was hoarse and very alarming. It sounded like a ghost screaming.

But Angelina stopped this voice. As she thought, it was an imaginary voice in her head. Or a hallucination caused by her exhaustion and stress. But the demonic voice asked her again

"Answer me, Angelina, this pain is really worth it. Your enemies have already done a lot of damage. So why believe in hope when it is clear that a painful death awaits you."

Angelina still avoided the voice in her head. And kept running forward.

"I see, I warned you. So don't come and cry to me when your hopes are crushed mercilessly."

Then the voice faded away, allowing Angelina to concentrate. Even though her legs were covered in blood, she kept going at full speed. "Please wait until I arrive, Commander Madon."

....

The uncertain foot soldiers of the city of Sura gathered in the city square.

A commander named Madon suddenly asked a nearby soldier.

"Did you treat the minor injuries?"

"Yes, it has already been done, sir, but I cannot say whether they will be effective on the battlefield."

"But can they still fight properly?"

"Yes, they can, Commander. However, I would advise not to tire them too much. Although the war has not yet begun, at least this is what we can do."

Madon then looked at the wounded soldiers who were standing in the ranks of neatly lined soldiers and shouted to the soldiers.

"Those who have just treated their wounds, please leave the ranks. And follow me to rest before the battle begins."

Madon said again "I will give you rest before the Lady comes. I know you all are tired please rest assured, we don't want our forces to be lost before the war begins."

After this, the soldiers who had been standing for most of the time suddenly dropped their shields and spears. Then they sat on the ground and felt relieved.

Madon then looked back at the soldier he had spoken to earlier.

"Are the civilians taken to safety?"

"Yes, they hid in the church, but some ran away. Most of the people ran away. So we can say that most of the people hiding in the church were the simple and poor people of this town."

"Do we have guards guarding the church?"

"No, Commander, but Hus, along with several retired soldiers are inside the church. They are also heavily armed, so I took the guards posted there after I saw many ex-military personnel inside this church."

"It's strange to hear, I think we can only protect ourselves from the enemy. To save the civilians and the city. But I'm not sure"

"Hmm, Commander Madon, are you sure we should fight? Can't we just surrender to the enemy?"

Then Madon asked, glaring at the soldier standing next to him

"Why are you asking me such questions?"

"You said yourself that you were unsure."

"Don't worry, we have another weapon."

This suddenly makes the soldier curious and he asks

"What's the matter, Commander?"

"Our Lady, she may give our soldiers the hope they need. To send our enemies away. The young lady inherited her mother's heroic and proud demeanor."

"hmm"

After that, Madon immediately headed to the building he was using to treat the seriously wounded soldiers. The building was a former hotel, so there were plenty of beds.

When Madon entered the reception area of the inn, he saw his fellow soldiers who were seriously injured.

Some have lost their limbs, some have lost their sight, and some are on the brink of death. Madon clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he saw the situation and heard cries of pain from his men.

who suffered the most from the onslaught of their enemy, who managed to destroy almost their entire force in just a few hours.

"Damn! Ash! What kind of enemy are we facing? "

He then opened one of the occupied rooms where the herbalist was preparing some medicine for the soldiers. The herbalist immediately greets Madon

"Sir, can I help you with anything?"

"May I have a bed in this room for rest?"

"No problem, sir, but I must warn you that you can't really relax here. While I'm grinding these herbs, the sound of the mortar hitting you might disturb you."

"It's okay, I don't really care, I'm just going to get some of my energy back. No more sleep at all."

Madon then fell dead as he walked towards the bed. He closed his eyes as he heard the annoying sound of the herbalist tapping on the mortar.

"I hope things don't get any worse," Madon said, falling asleep instantly.
