Chapter 78:What's wrong,

It was around 1 am when the two great leaders of the known world, Richard Thunderbolt and Alpshar the conqueror, engaged in battle near the Spirit Mountain.

Even the gods stopped their work to watch and wonder about the course of the battle. From the first minute, chaos had overcome the battle. Creatures had swiftly plunged into the ranks of the soldiers at the forefront and attacked fiercely. Some soldiers were thrown into the air by the creatures, and the sound of limbs breaking could be heard.

Faced with the immense power of the creatures, the Merdonbia soldiers were forced to retreat, and they were frightened from the beginning of the battle. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Arkion, who constantly commanded his soldiers from the above of his horse, the soldiers regained their composure and began to resist the creatures. Arkion's courage had changed the course of the battle, at least in the first few minutes.

The archers on the left wing, commanded by Isabella, advanced and targeted the creatures. Thus, with the support they received, the Merdonbia soldiers continued to fight with determination. The battle continued without slowing down, and minutes passed, one after the other. Finally, the shouts of the soldiers who had slain a creature for the first time were heard. This motivated the soldiers, and despite the difficulty of the creatures, they managed to resist.

The creatures began to die one by one, and the powerful arrows used by the archers played a big role in this. It took about an hour to destroy all the creatures, but nearly half of the Merdonbia soldiers had died, and the remaining ones were very tired. Moreover, although their heavy armor was very helpful in battle, it was still exhausting their bodies.

Richard quickly ordered a cavalryman to go to the front lines and told Arkion to fall back to the rear of the line. Arkion was quite angry because he had lost half of his army, but there was nothing he could do. He hurried his army to the side of the central forces. While this was happening, Alpshar's cavalry launched an attack and quickly advanced towards Duchess Theodora's troops on the right flank.

Since there was a steep mountain behind the location of the army, the movements of the cavalry would be restricted and difficult. But When Duchess Theodora saw the enemy cavalry, her eyes widened, and she ordered her soldiers to make a shield wall.

Usually, the cavalry used long spears or long swords, but the southerners could use bows on horseback. This could provide a significant advantage in this battle, and the bows used by the southerners were the best bows on the entire continent.

The mounted archers launched their arrows from a certain distance and provided tremendous firepower with sharp maneuvers. Although the Asina soldiers made shield walls, the arrows were powerful enough to pierce through their shields, and there were gaps in the shield walls because of every soldier killed by the arrows. Richard had already ordered an attack on the archers on the right wing, commanded by General Gideon, but Gideon's soldiers were silent.

Ethan was getting angry at this situation and ordered a guard next to him to send a message to his father. Richard heard that Ethan was asking for permission to attack and briefly reviewed the course of the battle from where he was. Finally, he gave permission to Ethan and also asked him to be careful.

When the guard brought Ethan his father's reply, his smile widened. A special guard raised the banner with Ethan's princely emblem, and another special guard played the attack drum beside him.

"ATTACK!"

Thus, Ethan rushed forward with his horse at full speed towards the enemy mounted archers. Seeing Prince Ethan attacking, the cavalrymen spurred their horses to charge. Faith demonstrated her ability and ran at great speed, and finally, Ethan approached the mounted archers. Duchess Theodora's soldiers rejoiced and smiled when they saw Prince Ethan's banner flying.

"Prince Ethan is attacking! We're saved!"

"YEAHHH!"

Ethan and his spear-wielding cavalry quickly attacked the mounted archers. The mounted archers suffered great losses in a short time, and the biggest reason for this was that Ethan's troops did come at a tremendous speed. The mounted archers began to retreat quickly and continued to shoot arrows as they retreated. Thanks to this rapid rout, the morale of the army quickly rose, and finally, the course of the battle turned in favor of the Asina Kingdom.

Ethan ordered the troops he commanded not to pursue the fleeing mounted archers and to hold their positions. While everyone was happy and morale was high, suddenly they saw that the enemy had launched a full-scale attack. Alpshar had ordered his entire army to attack, and with a cloud of dust, enemy soldiers became visible, running towards the Asina army. Their shouts alone had lowered the morale again, and finally, the enemy soldiers reached the central forces commanded by Richard.

Unlike the soldiers of the Asina Kingdom, Ethan wore a menacing grin on his face. Alpshar had just ordered his entire army to attack, but there was a major problem. Ethan could clearly see the location of Alpshar's headquarters, and there were very few soldiers there. Alpshar was wide open and Ethan could not miss this opportunity. Ethan turned to lead his cavalry into the attack and was about to yell when he felt a pain in his shoulder.

The guards beside him looked at Ethan's shoulder with shock and fear in their eyes. When Ethan looked at his shoulder, he saw an arrow embedded in it. Yes, there was indeed an arrow lodged in his shoulder, but because of adrenaline and excitement, Ethan had barely noticed it. He pulled the arrow out of his shoulder and tossed it to the ground, but there was a problem: there were no enemy soldiers in the direction from which the arrow had come.

Just then, Ethan's eyes widened in horror as he saw an uncountable number of arrows being launched towards him and his men. The arrows quickly reached Ethan's troops, and the cavalry was under attack before they could even understand what was happening. However, none of this mattered to Ethan because he was currently staring in shock at the direction from which the arrows had come.

When he saw that the archer unit on the right flank, commanded by General Gideon, had attacked, Ethan was at a loss for how to react. Fortunately, no arrows hit Ethan this time, and he finally snapped out of it, turning to his soldiers. He realized that his troops had suffered heavy losses, but there were still enough soldiers left.

"MY SOLDİERS! There is a traitor among us! General Gideon has betrayed us! Bring me the head of General Gideon!" Ethan shouted.

With these words, he quickly advanced himself towards Gideon's archer unity and began to attack, and when Ethan looked back, he saw the cavalry archers he commanded were coming. Ethan knew that he was attacking soldiers who also belonged to the Asina Kingdom, but he had no choice. After all, they were traitors who had betrayed them, especially in the middle of a battle.

Ethan plunged his sword into the first soldier in front of him and then attacked another soldier. If Ethan wanted to describe the situation he was in at that moment, there was only one word he could use: Chaos

The soldiers he decapitated, and the blood splattered on his armor seemed to say that Ethan was the bad guy. Ethan searched for Gideon with both eyes, and without trying to control the rage he felt, he mowed down the traitors.

Ethan, unable to see Gideon, looked around carefully and watched out for attacks in this chaotic situation. He went to a slightly higher hill, Ethan thought he would see Gideon more easily from there. However, at that moment, Ethan experienced his second shock and realized that Gideon was not the only one who had betrayed them.

Duke Eddart had attacked the wizards led by Mary, while General Roland's cavalry was attacking the central force commanded by Richard. And last but not least, Henry's infantry were attacking Isabella's unity. the army of Alpshar was attacking from the front, while on the other side, the traitors were attacking from the rear. At that moment, the only thing Ethan felt was helplessness, and he knew he was not the only one feeling that way.

What went wrong?

Where was the mistake made?

What to do now?

Actually the outcome of the battle had been determined before it even began.

The fate of the battle had been determined.

The gods had already rolled the dice.

Someone had already written the end of the story.

And history had learned a lesson it would never forget...

Alpshar never loses!
