Chapter 175 Desperate War
BANG!
Explosions blasted all over the battlefield. Arrows showering unto them. Bloods spurting and howling pains.
"Commander! We are getting cornered!"
Two subordinates exclaimed as soon as they reached their commander, who was still standing straight in the middle of the wide field. Some of them were already wounded, fractured, and limp. Their numbers are now decreasing and they don't think they can still fight in that state.
Lots of enemies were approaching, and it's already putting them at disadvantage. The two subordinates held their swords with their trembling hands.
"C-Commander?" One of them called out. "Should we retreat?"
In this situation, one should feel nervous and fear of losing one's life, but the one who's leading them didn't even flinch nor be surprised.
From a distance, their enemies were already shouting in victory. They held their weapons, mounted on their horses. Swaying their weapons freely, ready to charge. Mercilessly killing whoever blocked their way.
The two subordinates stood straight and gulped away their nervousness. They pledged to be a warrior in front of the Commander and it would be a shame for them if they backed away right now.
"Commander! Let us handle this!" They changed their minds.
However, the wind blew on their way, and it made the hem of their commander flutter. The hood got blown away, and it revealed those long crimson threads of hair. The sharpness of her eyes glinted under the dandelion sky.
Their Commander spread her arms. "Step back," she walked forward, throwing her robe away. She slit her index finger.
In the middle of the battlefield, she stood there like an iron wall alone. Swaying her Divine Rapier, with her blood dripping on its handle.
"I, Kassandra, will end this war!"
As soon as she pierced it down, an earthquake struck. The dry ground cracked and slowly, thousands of purple shadows came out from the corpse underneath
Glowing green eyes showing hunger. They all kneel down as if waiting for an order.
The wind blew harder, sprinkling the dust into a thin fog.
As soon as the pathway became clear, hundreds of purple shadows stood alongside Kassandra. Her crimson eyes turned colder, and a smirk stretched her cheeks.
"My dear minions, kill them all.."
Those Purple shadows who rose from underneath immediately charged forward.
Different whines and screams echoed in the area. Bodies cut into halves were thrown to the sides of the battlefield. Some almost lost their legs or their eyes.
Seeing the gruesome situation, few of them gave up and accepted death while the others decided to take their own lives.
Everyone, including the two subordinates, fell on their legs as they trembled. A powerful gust of wind blinded them all and in just a minute, half of the enemy were taken down.
The neighing horses of their enemies ran in different directions while whining in pain and defeat. Those tall and thick creatures with their horns in the middle of their forehead scream, feeling their limbs being torn apart.
ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ
One of the enemies scowled as soon as it got thrown away. It raised its hand to call for help, however; it got pierced immediately by the hand emerging from the ground.
Those sharp claws belong to a crimson wolf. It got such hungry eyes and in an instant; it showed its sharp fangs, gnawing the pitiful one hopelessly. Ripping the arms and legs slowly, just like paper.
"This is amusing"
Kassandra pulled out her Divine Rapier from the ground with only one hand. It shone and illuminated the dandelion calm sky on its thin and keen edges.
She put it on her shoulder and faced the two males. "Gather everyone on the right side of the field! Injured or not!" she ordered, raging with authority. "Treat the wounded ones immediately, using the potion I gave you!"
The two subordinates stood high with their chest. "Y-Yes Commander!" they immediately did what was told to them.
After everyone was safe, she roamed her eyes around and found a metal shield. Kassandra stomped her feet, and it flew up straight to her arms. "It's handy.." she grinned.
From her left, a figure flew forward. Her senses rang in her ears.
An enemy!
She swiftly bent down, pointing her rapier up in the air.
A yelp of pain immediately occupied her quiet atmosphere. Bloods dripped from the edge of her Divine Rapier. Dark green and messy, it has a very pungent smell.
Kassandra swayed her rapier and observed the lifeless body that got cut in two. "Tch! This is my favorite weapon.." she snorted, rolling her eyes.
However, as soon as he caught a glimpse of what was happening in front of her, her eyes flashed darker.
Kassandra walked into the middle of the two groups, ripping each other's strength. Her crimson soldiers cleared her pathway until she reached the place where she stood high, facing their leader.
She gripped her sword tightly with the shield she picked up on her way. "Let's see who's stronger"
A tall shadow covered her figure as soon as the creature with one eye and dark green skin snarled at her. It was full of wrath while looking down on her.
It had a big stomach and held a hard mace with a round, spiky tip. In its head was a helmet made by its own, protruding out its two horns.
It was the enemy Kassandra wanted to kill by herself. It almost swept half of the people in the village and she'll never let it go into a rampage again.
It stepped down from its horse, which immediately ran away in remorse. As it made big steps, the ground vibrated toward the lady, who didn't even show any sign of fear.
SWOOSH!!!!
It swayed its large round mace straight, not even hesitating to hold back an attack. However, Kassandra was fast enough to duck.
She pierced its feet using her shield. It released a very loud whine, making the lady grin.
"Does it hurt?"
Kassandra clenched her fist, and with all her strength, she delivered a powerful punch into its stomach.
As soon as her enemy stumbled down, she flew up in the mid-air, pointing her sword down.
"Hiyyaaaa!!!!!!"
