Hours befor Daybreak
"Quicken the pace, we should reach the others if we stay at this pace". Collar state as his squad swiftly made there way through the forest.
Coming from the western side of the south were the Suits reinforcements that the late devils captain had sent for. The Suits, a powerful organization within the Nightmare south that acted as an entire taskforce, split into six division that keeps order through out the southern tribes and clans.
"I don't believe someone actually trying to raid one of Crows territories, we'll have to push through the night and end this conflict before Crow hears about it. Hopefully they've retreated back for the night, this should give us time to regroup" said the commander of the border patrol.
"What if their still fighting?" Asked the commander of the Red Suits division.
"We'll just enter the mayhem".
These new forces were swiftly moving through the forest with only one intention, eliminate or capture the foreigners. Swiftly racing towards one of Crow's nest, *whooooosh whoosh whoosh* "keep force, Intel said that the ones at the town aren't all the forces that came ashore".
"I sense a large number of persons traveling form the west of us at an alarming rate towards us. !!!, No towards the town, at that pace they'll surely get their before us" Collar stated.
"Spear formation" commander Collar as he headed the spear, this formation is best used for gathering speed and breaking defenses.
"I think we're being chased"? Said the Red Suits Commander.
"Really we didn't even notice them earlier, they couldnt be much of a threat then. Keep on going I'll take care of this" the border patrol Commander said as he sharply about turn.
"Dont die idiot" shout out the RSC.
The group continue onward towards the town, while the BPC stayed back alone to intercept their pursuers.
"They're up ahead, get rea.... what's this"?Collar asked as he saw only one man hallassing towards them. This presence was commanding and proud, his built wasn't as large but Collar could tell this man had great strength.
BRACE!!!!! roared out Collar as the clashed.
WHAM!! With nothing but shoulder taclke, Collar's charge had been broken. Breaking his assault squad spare formation, Collar laid flat on the ground as he the the front part of the spear had been completely shattered.
It was like thrusting a wooden knife into a boulder Collar exclaimed as he and his battered forces regrouped.
:Hell is this guy"? Several members of the Assault squad asked.
"Sir, you all may call me Sir, sense this will be the first and last time you're going to speak that name" Sir said arrogantly as he waited for Collar to ready himself.
"I hope he's able to handle those troops, wait what am I saying ain't anyone in that squadron to be concerned about, well one but he's still green" Said the RSC as he continued forward.
Present time
As the hostilities bloomed butcher and is forces once again struggle against the ravens assaults. This time Sarge had prepared a strategy against both the ravens and his idiotic commander.
Before the battle
"Srage sir, do you think this will work? The men are still terrified that they'll be his tossing puppets again" one of the squad captains asked.
"No need to worry, I told butcher as a priest of the Knights core he should bury those slain and heed the wishes of those about too die".
"Why tell him such a thing"? Asked the captain.
"In hope he does, so they'll targets him". Sarge said wittily.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"Arial Assault, ARMORMENT!!!" Ravens captain screamed as they descended upon butcher and his surroundings troops. Their descent were faster, with greater force and flexibility.
This from their using is a different level from their pervious one Sarge infrom is squad. As he lead the remaining units against the devils who were some what holding their own against them.
"Agrrhhhh!!!! Is that all bird woman?? Where's all my ammunition? Wait... where's Sarge", butcher asked as he began to look around the battlefield only to then realizes he had been swindle, now he was completely surrounded by majority of the ravens.
"Srage, what if lord butcher is killed by those", SMACK! "DON'T DARE DOUBT HIM"!, bout Butcher and Primous fighting cautiously sense they both cant predict his nexts move.
As the bloodshed raged on a structure started to take from. With Sarge in the center pushing towards the town's gates, butcher was off too the rigth, pin down meters behind from his troops. Primous covered the rear with tie by his side. The two observed the enemies implementation, looking to exploit any openings.
"He still hasn't moved, its like he's waiting on us" Primous told Tie.
"I don't understand either, I can sense the presence of several other within the town and they all resemble those at the cliff".
Inside the town
"Fall, why don't you allow to take part? If we join in now we could end this struggle now" ask a tribal member.
"This is not our territory, so it isn't our responsibility. This is one of the Suit's four kings territory, so either him or the Suits will handle this situation" Fall inform them as he was only there out of curiosity.
"Damn it all, I've allowed myself to be sidetracked by a bunch of birds". Butcher thought to himself as the ravens continue to descend upon him, striking him repeatedly with their talons and bombarding him with powerful wing strikes.
"Gotcha" said Butcher, grabbing hold of one of the raven's legs. He then proceeded to whip around her body as if she were a human mace, smashing her against her own with such tremendous force. THOOM!! CRACKLE!!
Was the sound that echoed each time butcher made contact.
"Seems she's all broken, I'll need another".
Center of the field
Sargent had been engaged in battle for the some time now, pushing forward towards the gates with the remaining units.
* rapid breaths* "They're resilient, still pushing back even though there out number" said Sarge as he railed his men to pushing futher in.The slaughter core weren't having as much difficulty this time around dealing with the various fighting styles that the devils used. Normally spares, sword and axes hold the advantage against bare arms, this wasnt so for these new enemies. Sense the could harden themselves to the point their skin felt like iron. Sarge was deep within the skirmish, striking, bashing and thrusting his way through the enemies.
"At this rate we'll have to use Knights Arts, to think they could push us to it" Sarge stated.
At the rear
"Were taking to long to finish this siege, it may cause for butcher to give the order to use our Arts". Primous stated in disbelief.
"Well they are skilled" rebutted Tie.
*intensely looks at *SMACK! "a trained monkey is also skilled" angrily said Primous as he was annoyed that they would even have to think about use their Arts.
*both instantly notices the incoming threat*
"More?, they'll flank Sarge form the left rear". Primous Quickly stated as he felt another enormous presences rushing towards them.
"Collar.... they're coming for the path Collar Collar should've been traveling but he's some how tailing behind" worriedly said Tie.
"I've had it with you woman! Come down here and fight me lika man, grow some tits. Is that how that saying goes"? butcher thought to himself.
"Why you arrogant, bull headed, beast of a man
I'll make you squeal". She said as she inhales deeply.
"YES, FINALLY HIT MEEE!!!" butcher screamed with excitement.
"AHHHHHHHHHHAARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!" She Cried. The shriek was deafening enough to bring butcher to his knees as he held is ears, as the blood ran from his ears it started to leak through his helmet.
While he was down the ravens used this opportunity the descend upon him, bombarding him with furies of strikes, ripping slashing and clawing him relentlessly.
Emerging from the left rear of the the conflict were the Suits, they burst out from the forest trail and gathered on the side watching both sides continue to rage on.
Their instant arrival lit the fire back into the ravens and devils, spurring them on to rage and rally against the foreigners.
"This is bad, though we were some what struggling. It would only be a matter of time before we would've vanquished them". Primous stated in anguish.
"Their aura is superior to those of the ravens or devils, these have to be at least
Two too three times more skilled" mentioned tie.
"HALLLLLL MARRRYYYY!!!!" Roared Primous as he rocketed a massive ball of fire at the Suits. "BUTCHER GIVE THE ORDER!!!!!" Primous shouted.
Butcher still beinging ravaged by the ravens onslaught felt the new pressure that had emerged, placing one hand upon the ground he could locate each member of his balton within his radius. Sensing that his men were in danger of being flanked butcher roared.
"RAPTURE!!!!!", This signal all Knights to use their Knights Arts. The roar was so great it emitting a tremendous surge that erupted those surrounding butcher. As he stood once more, bodies fell before him and blood rain down upon him as he looked above watching the blood gushing out from the erupted ear drums of the ravens.
"I'm bored of you woman, either you fight me lika man.."
"I'M NOT A BLOODY MANNNNNN, ARGHHHHH!!! FALLING STARRRRR!!!!"
