The sky was already as dark as coal, the moon was crescent, and visibility was low, but a strange heat was completely present in that region, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and all the stars were visible, the sound of footsteps thousands of men passing through the desert scared any predator away, King Khalid's army had finally arrived on that distant hill, thousands of well-disposed men, not tired mentally, despite the crossing they had made until the battle, and before crossing the mountain to the enemy army, the leaders let everyone know the plans of attack and divided the army together with King Khalid's sons, two thousand with bows and swords and a thousand more with spears and slings for throwing stones would be on the slopes of the hill, in the on the side where the enemies were, Attar would join this group at the foot of the hill, Qabbani would surround the enemy camp on the right, with three thousand men, two thousand with spears, and a thousand with swords and bows, and arrows and slings, Nazir would go on the left, with the same number of soldiers as Qabbani, all very well organized to prevent the enemies from leaving on the left or right.

The general took the most problematic part, decided that he would encircle the camp from the north, and had to take a longer and different path from the other groups with the king's sons, he gathered four thousand men, three thousand with spears, and a thousand with bows and swords, and he planned to create a great human chain in this way, would leave the three thousand soldiers side by side and the thousand archers outside the camp, unlike Nazir and Qabbani who would enter the enemy camp with the three thousand men that were available to them.

The army of king khalid wore little protection, only a thin leather under the upper part of the body and some soldiers wore leather helmets, most dressed like the people themselves, typical of the desert, some wore scarves tied around their heads and a thinner skin, dark and tanned.

It took nearly three hours for the entire army to cross the little hill, and they found that they were not seen by the enemy, nor noticed by any wild beasts.

Attar commented sleepily "Very strange that we haven't been noticed, these people from the north are getting sloppy"

Nazir held a small knife in his hand gently smoothed the blade of the knife and calmly said "We should be grateful for their carelessness so that everything can go according to plan"

Attar just turned around and continued talking quietly, "But it's still strange, I don't see any signs of movement in their camp, just a few fires around these shabby tents, but I don't see people."

Qabbani then approached and joined in the conversation "I heard, that in the land of these foreigners, snow falls from the sky most of the year, I think they've had enough of our green valleys and our flowery fields and are homesick" the three brothers laughed.

"I'm homesick too, if we're going to survive we need to have a big party the same way we always do at home" Nazir had a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye as he said these words

"Certainly, and the soldiers would like that too" Attar spoke in a soft voice, as if telling a secret, he prepared for battle in his own way.

"I'm sure we will win, everything seems to be in our favor, I think that here we split up, each one will proceed to their battalion, and make sure that everything goes according to plan" Qabanni was already addressing his group of soldiers, they were already almost everyone in their place, silent, and moving almost crawling along the ground, crouched and evading any alarming sounds, avoiding being seen by any guards, and the soldiers of Nazir's group were also already heading towards the left side of the camp, everyone moved quickly and slenderly between the rocks at the foot of the mountain, despite being about to enter a battle at a total disadvantage, everyone was happy with the situation, it seemed to them that it would all end in that hot and dark night.

Attar stayed with the group at the top of the hill, he was the best archer among the three brothers who were present and he would stay there, mixed with the other archers, in the middle of the mountain, hidden on top of the rocks, a total silence covered that region, everyone They were silent, the archers aloft, almost inaccessible, the spearmen between the stones, waiting, holding tight to their spears.

The general was mounted on a black horse, with some ornaments in red tones, he knew that his group would be the last to reach the planned place, and he wanted to do his best for the three to attack at the same time, but if he blew a horn or used the drums of war, would wake up the enemies ahead of time, and he wanted all the soldiers to be inside the camp when that happened, so he sent a soldier on horseback for each son of King Khalid who was besieging the camp, Qabbani and Nazir, to advance as soon as the soldiers reached them.

General Hanna waited a few minutes before advancing, his body was breathing calmly, he raised his face, looked at the sky, the dark veil of night was already gone, the sky was very clear, maybe, in an hour or less, it would start to dawn, and they would fight covered by the sunlight, as they were used to, the wind was very hot, more than usual for that time, and hour, and that made him breathe a sigh of relief, as he knew that this way, the enemies were sleeping more comfortably.

The archers were already positioned behind the spearmen, lined up completely, breathing calmly, the heat and the hot wind was softer, calmer to shoot their arrows, and they arrows were all ready and on their backs, organized and ready to be fired, the General Hanna took a good look at the soldiers' expressions, they didn't look exhausted, and he saw, they walked for a day and a half, they learned about the battle a few hours before they left to the center of the war, and they were alive in ther face's nuances, their look was confident in the battle, each was to kill five enemy soldiers, that's what the general said before they left, and they always listened with an open heart to General Hanna's words, the hands of the soldiers in front held their spears tightly, and they trembled with anxiety, and this made General Hanna even more confident.

"Forward! and proceed as ordered" General Hanna began his advance, they were at a certain distance so that the guards would not see them and everything was even easier, when they saw that the few enemies who were watching, were sleeping like babies wrapped in warm cloths, some more agile soldiers went ahead, walked stealthily, and managed to reach the sentries and kill them without being noticed, they seemed to be mute, some died without even being able to wake up to a new day.

The spearmen who were with General Hanna were advancing into the camp, they made a great circle around the camp so that no enemy could flee to the north, and following that plan in mind, the thousand archers who were with General Hanna would make a human cordon outside the camp and would attack anyone who tried to flee in that direction.

It all started silently, the soldiers' footsteps were light, and each was told to enter a tent, or wait at the entrance of one and wait a little, a few moments before attacking, so that the army could move, inside the enemy camp, and each one stay in a tent, so it was done, almost all the soldiers who entered that camp were already in combat position inside a tent, when a few minutes had passed, they started to attack.

The silence soon began to lose space, muffled screams began to emerge from all over the camp, the sound of spears piercing the bodies lying in their restful sleep, blood already covered the cloths of some tents, it was a sign that there, some soldier had already passed, and prevailed.

The glow of fire was reflected on the spearheads as they were thrust into the flesh of their enemies, a quick death, surrounded by the confusion of one who was in the midst of a good dream, and was suddenly awakened by a well-sharpened metal piercing the sleeping breastplates.

In a few minutes, the silence disappeared completely, some louder screams were heard in the distance, and little by little, the enemies abandoned their sleep, and came out of their tents with swords in hand, few wore any type of protection and some were naked, showing total confusion for the situation, the nudity of some of them was not uncomfortable, maybe because they were used to the cold of their homeland, or because they had stayed with a woman from the tribes they conquered, this was a doubt that was not even raised in the In the soldiers' minds, all they saw were their enemies, even if they were completely naked, the spear point would not spare them.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

few of the enemies wore armor, their confusion was visible, they ran from one side to the other trying to get some protection, some wore wolf skins along with their clothes, the little protection that some wore was usually of some kind of reinforced leather, but few among them used this protection, they were more used to wild life, to the life of barbarians, they had a lighter skin, some of those enemies were blond, but most of them had light brown hair, a sign that they came from far away.

General Hanna was already inside the camp, and he guided a small group to the center of the camp, to where there were more enemies, they passed by the side of several combats and continued without stopping to the center of all that confusion, the objective was to leave the enemies as confused as possible, as they didn't know exactly how many soldiers Hanna was leading, he would use this scattering of his soldiers to scare them away, and the division of the army was made for that very reason.

The group followed outside the tents, went to a head-on combat against everyone they met along the way, with their swords and spears steady, the death scream of their enemies was all they could hear, and what they longed for.

On the other side of the camp, blood was already everywhere, some women were trying to flee in a desperate way, and many men were already lying on the ground, there was an urgency for battle, and these enemies were desperate and went up, ready to fight. Nazir decided to stay closer to his group, he had his sword raised and shouted loudly to fight, he realized that for some reason, many enemies were heading towards his battalion, so he asked some soldiers to blasted a trumpet loudly, and that drew a few more towards him, and Nazir didn't intend to let them pass.

The screams of battle came in droves, and from there, bodies that still yearned for the fight, Attar waited patiently, the thousand spearmen were hidden among the stones at the top of the hill, with their own clothes to disguise themselves and a sharp and fixed gaze on everything what was happening in that camp, and many of the archers were already organized in places of difficult access, they could see all the desperation that had become that camp, and on the hill, there was still silence, Attar's soldiers were waiting for whoever came to flee up the hill to the kill, in that place, the archers would be in complete advantage and the spearmen were well back, almost beside the archers, the plan was that the enemies that were going to flee in that direction would be killed by the arrows.

In the midst of all that confusion, General Hanna had arrived at what seemed to be the center of the camp, the amount of enemies in that place was greater, and almost everyone wore armor, it was a basic leather protection, but it brought many difficulties. The battle that took place in that part of the camp became denser and more difficult, the amount of enemies was greater than the small group that followed with General Hanna, but they were all managing to fight, they were dispersed among the short corridors that were between the tents and with their spears, they managed to walk fighting, even with their being at a total disadvantage.

There was a man in the enemy army who was different from the rest, well over two meters tall, with a blond beard, long blond hair and deep blue eyes, and a sword twice as big as normal, he could cut spears as if they were palm leaves, and fought harder than the other soldiers, General Hanna saw the moment when he attacked a soldier from the bottom up with such force, that the soldier was thrown hard onto another tent, already dead.

The strength of this enemy was impressive, and it was motivating everyone around, and General Hanna realized that, the mood that man caused, and right after seeing a soldier killed again with a single blow, he called some soldiers to follow him, and he came at this foe with a sword much shorter than his, and screaming like a man ready to die.

The giant enemy asked the others to move away, he had recognized General Hanna and smiling, he said "So you are the famous Hanna? I heard around that he was very dangerous, and fearless, and now, I stand before this man who is said to be fearless, and i am glad to have found him" He was very daring, but wearing heavy armor, he had few points available for General Hanna to attack, but the fight would go on like this, as it was enough for Hanna to condemn him.

"In war, fame doesn't matter, only the one who survives matters, and that's what I always do" After these sayings, the general soon went up to this man, with the sword in one hand, to have more agility, but later As this enemy took a few steps, Hanna soon saw the enemy's great sword falling on him, and had to jump to the side, and almost lost an arm, and felt all the coldness that emanated from that blade.

Something seemed to be going on in his mind, General Hanna has already fought several skilled enemies, and at a disadvantage, when he was on the African continent, he fought soldiers who trained by hunting lions, with unique agility in combat, thus, a challenge for him not it was new, and it cheered him up, and sharpened the will to fight in his heart like a blade.

The enemy's sword was so heavy that it made a sound when it was swung, and that made General Hanna alert, but even though he was big and wearing heavy armor, this man was very agile, and he managed to move with extreme skill, every time. that the general tried to advance, the man would jump back or try to kick the general, and in one of these attacks, the man managed to attack in a way that was impossible for the general to dodge, so he had to block with his sword, but the The impact was so great that he was thrown backwards and fell to the ground, with a great impact, at that moment, the enemies gave such a great shout that everyone thought that the battle was about to end, and they went up with even more intensity against the army of King Khalid.

The screams of the enemies were no longer of pain, it was of desire to fight, and they continued with firm steps on the ground towards King Khalid's soldiers. General Hanna was a little dizzy, but soon he got to his feet, he couldn't let things go on like this, and before he could go back to fighting his opponent, the general killed two of his enemies, each with a single sword swipe, and his opponent, saw that he still had the breath to keep fighting.

With a strong breath and making the lungs and chest rise and fall with intensity, the general pointed his sword towards the opponent, and ran in his direction, it looked like it was just a run, but he had a target in his eyes, and as he predicted, the opponent tried to hit him, he tried to stab the general from the front, used his sword as if it were a spear, but still protected himself of the general, it was a position that left even fewer weaknesses apparent, and General Hanna, seeing this, threatened a blow to the face and the man jumped back, but, he did exactly what the general wanted him to do, the blow that the general made was false, he didn't put strength in the arms, and when the man took the leap backwards, the general gave a new impulse, and with precision, he managed to hit right under the armor, on the right side of the belly .

Everyone gasped when they saw the general pull the sword out of that man's belly, some of his guts came out along with the sword and a large amount of blood, and he gave a very painful scream to hear, some enemies even dropped their swords and tried to flee when they saw that scene, and while that man was trying in some strange way to get his own guts back inside his belly, he barely noticed when the general's sword went through his neck, he died before he could even see General Hanna for one last time, the last vision he had, was of some soldiers from his own army running away.

Many of the enemies now dropped their swords and fled away from the general, ran towards the hill, then a voice came from the direction they were fleeing "Stop running, you miserable weaklings, take your swords and prepare for battle, or die" and when the general Hanna looked in the direction the voice was coming from, he saw a person as tall as the man he had just defeated, and soon he saw more people just like him, they were around eight, they were all over two meters tall, and all had long blond hair, and long beards, four of them wore heavy armor, appeared to be copper, 3 of them were without armor, and one of them, had only a cloth tied around his waist covering his legs and without any clothing on the upper body.

The smell of the fires mingled with the smell of blood, the tents in that area were already almost all stained with blood, King Khalid's army, moved by their general's victory, went into direct combat against these men, ready to win, whatever the cost, and the general accompanied them to the confrontation with these giants.

Arrows were flying through the tents, Nazir was surrounded by a large number of opponents, they all came towards him, and attacked with arrows, Nazir's group had to strategically stay behind the tents, looking only at the shadows of their enemies, who seemed to dance next to the embers of the fire, seeing the arrows flying through the skies, most missed the targets, but some, entered deeply into the bodies of their fellow soldiers, but fleeing was not an option, they attacked with stones thrown by the slings and retaliated with even more arrows, many of the soldiers who were with Nazir, were scattered, totally unprotected, free to fight, but they saw soon, the enemy camp was much bigger than they imagined, and the enemies were more numerous, they saw the groups of enemies heading in their direction, but they were resisting, and attacking back with every arrow thrown.

Nazir was located far ahead of this camp, with a group of soldiers with spears, and with slingshots, he was looking for the best place to make a barrier with spears, while the archers attacked and opened a space for him to move, he saw that there was a slope a little ahead, big enough for everyone to group together, there were few enemies in that place, and it was close, about thirty meters ahead, there was the best place to stay with the soldiers grouped, in the same way that he learned from General Hanna, and going over the corpses of the enemies, he followed with his soldiers until he reached that slope.
