Retreat

|3rd POV|

The bull of heaven roared, and suddenly a massive thunder fell from the sky and struck the serpent. The bull then charged toward the serpent and took it away from the current battlefield when the serpent is stunned by the lightning and cannot move.

Seeing the serpent get taken away, Isaac orders his army to charge at the enemy.

Garun's hired mage did not stay idle. The other two summoners hired by the king of Vulux Kingdom just finished their chant and summoned their creature.

The first one is a turtle with five tails behind its back. The turtle has a grey color on the outside and purple color on the inside. The second one is a white tiger with lightning around its feet and tails.

Seeing the other mage summon their creature, Isaac decides to do the same.

"Summon! White Serpent! Summon! King's Knight! King's Magician! Trent!"

After Isaac invokes the spell name, three creatures appear near him and immediately attack the two monsters the other mage summons.

Seeing their summon is busy fighting Isaac's summoned creature, the mage decides to support the army with their spell.

Isaac can see the mage begin creating a magic circle.

"Lucina! The mage!"

"Yes"

Lucina raises her hand and activates her rune. She activates both her Cyclone and Rage runes.

"Union Spell! Serpent of Fire!"

This is a spell of a combination of two runes that can support each other. Her wind rune creates a tunnel of wind, and her fire rune enchants its attacking capabilities.

The Serpent of Fire hit the barrier Garun and his army created using their physical energy. The barrier can withstand Lucina's attack, but the people that maintain the barrier where Lucina's attack hit begin to sweat from feeling their physical energy drained to replenish the barrier.

The mage on the wall finished their chant, and suddenly ten magic circles appeared above them. The magic circle is a missile made of all four elements.

Seeing the incoming spells, Isaac points his spear toward the spell using the spell he learned from the DxD world.

A seventy magic circle appears above Isaac and his army to block the incoming with ease. The magic circle continues to follow Isaac and his army to protect them from any incoming attack.

Garun gritted at the show in front of him before roaring at the mage above him.

"Useless! This is the best mage?!? Useless!"

Garun looks at the incoming enemy before ordering his army to start attacking.

"Unit Five! Prepare to attack the enemy with Energy Blast!"

Energy blast is one of the few techniques a Physical energy user uses as a long-ranged attack. It condensed physical energy at one point before firing it, and when it hit a target, it created a mini-explosion.

"Hold!"

While Garun says to hold, a few soldiers decide to fire up their energy blast earlier and not reach the enemy. Garun grit his teeth when he sees that pathetic energy blast before roaring at his army.

"HOLD! HOLD!"

When Isaac and his army get near, he shouts once again.

"FIRE!"

Isaac creates another magic circle to block the incoming attack, but he cannot cover all of his armies because the enemy attack range is bigger than his magic reach. Some of his armies were hit by the enemy attack.

Isaac decides to ignore it and focus on what's in front of him. When he is a few seconds away from the enemy barrier, Isaac activates his special spear ability. Five elements consisted of Wind, Water, Fire, Lightning, and Earth spinning around his spear like a drill.

When Isaac arrived in front of the barrier, he thrust his spear forward, and when it touched the barrier, it created a shockwave before breaking the barrier.

"Charges!"

Not only Isaac but Lucina also successfully break the barrier in front of her using her war ax. Daniel also successfully breaks the barrier using his Physical Energy. Each unit begins to pour down on Garun and his army.

"Move back! Lure and capture!"

After that, Garun's army began to push Isaac's army and march forward. They begin to cut the people on the back and encircle the unit trapped inside their circle—a shield in front and the spearmen behind them.

When the unit gets encircled, the spearmen begin to march toward the trapped unit and stab them to death. While this strategy worked wonders for the people that were far away from Isaac, it was not working with the people near Isaac.

Isaac's healing rune is working nonstop, healing all the people around him. From the Rain of Kindness to Polaris. All of the spells heal the people that vigorously kill all the enemies in front of them.

Not only using his rune, but Isaac also creates a massive amount of magic circles around him to attack the army on the ground and defend against the mage on the wall.

While Garun's army and Isaac's army are on the deathlock, a warcry comes from the West and East side of the battlefield. Hearing the warcry, Isaac smirks a little. The reinforcement has come.

On the left wing is Lord Rahul and Saurial leading the charge.

"Move! Move! This is our chance! Crush them!"

They move down from the hill with the might of ten thousand men.

On the right-wing are Lord Macgrath and Lord Duchamp commanding the army.

"Show them! Show them the might of the north!"

They move forward from the thick forest toward the enemy.

Hearing the incoming enemy reinforcement, Garun decides to split his army.

"Karz, move to the left! Take units seven, eight, and nine! Warudo moves to the right! Take units six, eleven, and twelve! Move! Move! Don't let them get near here!"

Garun pushes his shield with a mighty roar and stabs the man in front of him with his sword. However, to his surprise, the man did not die but smirked and grabbed his sword. Garun feels pain coming from his chest, and when he looks down, he sees a supposedly dead man stab him in the chest with their spear.

The frown on his face turned into rage, and Garun used all his might to cut down the one that was holding his sword and used his feet to stomp the head of the men on the ground.

Garun never in his life fought against a people as tough as the people in the north. It was as if they had two lives. They continue to get up and attack their target.

With another roar, Garun slices down other northern men coming at him, and just like before, they successfully catch his sword before it could cut their head off, and just like before, he gets hit by another man who should be dead.

This is the power of Isaac's healing spell. Even when they get a heavy injury that should be killed them instantly, they can get up to do the last bit of the hit.

After stabbing another northern man, Garun looks at the battlefield, and his frown is even deeper. The situation for his army is not good. He and his army slowly get pushed back, and he can also see the mage on the wall already dead as their spell is stopped. Dead or deserting.

Seeing he got no chance in this fight, Garun can only take one option.

"Retreat! Retreat! Full retreat!"

Garun takes a war horn from his belt and begins to blow it up. This horn is the one that indicates the army goes into full retreat.

Hearing the horn, Garun's army begins to move back slowly but surely to make sure the northern army did not notice they wanted to retreat. While it fools the younger commander, it does not fool the northern general.

"Push! Push! Don't let them escape!"

Seeing their cover not working, they begin to run away from the northern army. However, even when their back has been shown to the enemy, Garun's army can still maintain their discipline and hold some of the northern armies. However, it was not enough as their number continued to decrease at a fast pace.

As for Garun, he and his lieutenant already mounted a horse followed by a few thousand men. Garun knew that Isaac's army would decapitate his army, and he regrets it happen. Garun is a cruel man, true. However, that cruelty only targets civilians.

To soldier? He treats them like his own precious tool. Once a civilian joins his army, he will treat them like a tool. A tool needs to be treated with care, or it will rust and become useless. Because of this, Garun is sad about leaving his army behind.

He just lost his precious tool, but he will not cry for them because they are just tools by the end of the day. Garun can replace them.

As Garun and his unit gallop through the field, he suddenly stops when he sees what is in front of him. It was a foreign army pointing their arrow toward him and his unit. What makes matters worse, he can see the damned creatures that continue attacking him and his army.

It was Johannes Lazuli and his army accompanied by Isaac's summoned creature. They successfully arrive before Garun and his army can reach the bridge.

"FIRE!"
