In Unit 2
Irzar and his men fought with bravely. They have been rotating from the first row to second row, and back to the first row. Even though they are not experienced with real battle, but thanks to the training that they've endured these past months, they somehow manage to not have many casualties.
"FRONT ROW, BACK OFF AND PREPARE FOR RETREAT! SECOND ROW, PREPARE TO ENGAGE!!" shout Irzar with loud
"Yes, sir!"
Irzar might not the skilful fighter nor a great mage with a large pool of mana, but he's quick at grasp the situation and fast thinker when the situation makes him do so," Die you filth!" he strokes his sword on his enemy's body.
"This is tiresome" Irzar murmuring
"like I said, captain, please save your thought in your mind only," said his assistant, Rey, while shielding on one of the enemy attacks." But then again, we manage to hold them back, thanks to your fast react, captain Irzar. If we keep this momentum, we might hold them from gang up against the main unit," he slashes his enemy
"I don't think that plan will go smoothly as you think," said Irzar while watching the mist
"Why would you say that?"
"Look at the sky, is bright already, and our camouflage is somehow not working on them. And the mist that Sorel cast is not thick enough to cover the sunlight, so if we drag this battle long enough, we will be annihilated with instant.," explain Irzar
"Then, what should we do?" Rey ask
"we must pull back and assist the other units that not manage to pull the enemy, and we regroup-" before Irzar finish his talking, one of the demons come and attack Irzar and Rey
"You sure have a nice chat out there, human scum," said that demon
"Judging your red sash, you must be one of the high officers," Irzar draw his sword.
"Hahaha, you studied your homework. That's right, I'm Jasqal the skull hammer, leader of the left flank, chief of Jasqal clan! I challenge you to duel with me, o human chief" said him with proud," Lom surag khir flein, jojhar aizr, jojhar aizr!! (this is my prey, he's mine, he's mine!!)"
"That sounds bad for me, Rey, lead our men to regroup with the main unit if I die against him, that's an order"
"Hahaha, nice calling, human." That demon smiled
"you don't need to fight him, captain Irzar, we must escape and help other units"
Irzar ignore his subordinate warn and went to the demon leaders,"what's the term?"
"we shall fight to the death, what else~" smirk him
"If I win, what do I get?"
"You gain a fame by killing me, of course, that's not gonna happen thou, hahaha"
"Okay, then the deal is off. Mens! RUN!!" Irzar climb fast his horse and run with his men
"You shit! Yaktair!!! (chase them!!)" yell Him
Irzar and his men sprint with full speed, leaving the demons behind," captain, why did you suddenly change your mind? don't tell me that you notice that they will launch a surprise attack or something?? as expected from Ordas left-hand men" say his subordinate
"no, I thought that if we win, they might give us that hammer or gold or something... I guess that's not the right answer after all, hahaha" laugh Irzar
"captain..."
"but, I do want to retreat earlier. Our numbers are not great to hold longer with a massive army like this. We stay with our objective, we combine with other units and give them a hand!"

"what about those demons who chase at us now?" ask Rey
"well, they are heavy cavalries, so they may not catch up our speed. We'll head to that woods, to overrun them!" order Irzar
"As you say!"

at the same time in Unit 3
Sorel and his men are still running from those demons who nonstop chasing them from the battlefield. Some of Sorel men's are bow user, keep shooting caused one by one demon fell to the ground.
"Sorel, where we headed to?" asks his assistant
"Let me think for a bit," said Sorel
"Cap'n, they already come close to us, what shall we do?" ask them with terrified
"Cap'n!!"
"Sir Sorel!!"
"Just shut up, I'm thinking here" shout Sorel, who begin to irritate
"My mist is beginning to fade, and I don't have much mana to cast a spell on 4th stage. Should I return to the main unit and regroup with them? but that only causes chaos." his mind became a mess with finding the solution
"Sorel !" a girl voice suddenly slap him back to the reality. It was a girl riding beside him, "Kaj!"
"I know you can do it! I trust you" that girl smile at him, giving him a slightly peace with this mess situation
But with sudden, an arrow comes from the sky and hit that girl's neck, make her fall from his horse with hard, rolling on the ground. She was dead in instant. Sorel was shocked by it and turn his gaze on the demons rider," Kaj... No..."
"You fool, I tell you to hit that long hair guy, not the girl!" said that demon with angry
"Sorry, my hand messed up," said the other demon
Sorel suddenly becomes rage by it,"all men, I will turn around!You guys go forward... I will catch up later!!
"W-wait!!" said his assistant
Sorel cannot hold his anger, and ride with fast violent cause the horse also speed his leg to fulfil his master's want. His mind was focus only one thing, to slaughter those demons with his own hand
"You bastards, I'm gonna kill you all!!!" shout Sorel
"I knew it, they are human! Garyuk tribe are the type that living in nomad style. Impossible that they were living around here!!" shout one of the demons
"I gonna rip your limb, you imposter!!" said the leader of that tribe
"You guys, don't follow what I'm doing. Just focus your magic on shield and minor spell, avoid using too much mana! " shout Sorel
"Captain Sorel!!"
Sorel grits his teeth even let out blood and focuses all of his mana that he has to his left hand, let out blue light," I implore your strength !! light magic: rain of lance!" a thousand of spear being created by Sorel flying with incredible speed toward the enemy.
"All of you, equip yourself a shield" order from the leader tribe
"Shield!" all of them casting a shield magic to protect them from those lances. But those lances are quite powerful, even penetrate many of demon's shield with ease and kill the demons as well. "Guoh" sounds of the demon being attacked by those lances being heard by Sorel's men
"Yeah!! captain!! keep on!!" they cheer on Sorel
"You fools, captain putting his life on that magic, we gonna stop him!" said Sorel assistant
"But his orders are to go without him"
"Captain!! that's enough! let us help you!" plead his assistant
"HARGHHHHHH!!" Sorel keeps launching his projectile magic on those demons without stop. His face becomes white, and his left hand showing his blood pipe with clear. He knows that even he can use 4th stage spell, he doesn't have a large pool of mana to back up his various spell. He's already used most of his mana to create the mist, and now he cast a 4th stage spell with force... he musters every inch of his mana.
"You human bastard!" the leader tribe cannot move forward because of sorel magic. the more he's going forward, the stronger the impact of those lances... even his magic shield already look crack by those non-stop attack
"Chief, I- can't- hold any longer- argh!" one of the demons are being penetrated by those lances
Many of them are already dead caused by Sorel's attack," chief, do something about this!"
"I can't, I must focus all my mana on my shield. In second that I cast another spell while with the shield, those lances will penetrate my shield and that's over for me!" said him
"He uses all of his mana to this attack, that's crazy! he wants to die or something??" said another demon
"He wants to die. That's why his magic is troublesome to deal because he's already throwing his life on this magic! all of you... wing formation! move slowly!" shout his leader
"NOT IN MY WATCH!! HARGHHHHH!!!" he throws his sword and spread his right hand and cast the same spell
With both of his arms, he stops the movement of the demons. They can't do anything about this attack because if they cast another spell and cannot balance the quantity of mana with the shield magic, it will drop the quality of shield and being penetrated by those unstoppable lances. One by one, ten by ten, hundred by hundred, all of the demons being attack by those lances cause shield's break and die with instant. Until there's no enemy that stand straight, Sorel will keep casting his lances.
"M-my tribe... c-curse y-you...!" the leader fall in battle after his body cannot hold much any longer after being thrust by countless lances. All of them, 1500 demons, killed by Sorel's attack
"W-we... win!" shout Sorel's men with joy
Without occasion, Sorel suddenly recalled his chat with his father
"Sorel, we've been given a type magic that same with the angel in the heaven, the light magic. With this magic, I want you to protect those who precious to you... promise me...will you..."
"I'm... sorry... father... Kaj..."
Sorel suddenly fell from his mount. His condition was near to death, he becomes skinny... almost showing his bone. His eyes were let out a blood and his face are pale as snow.
"C-captain Sorel!" yell his assistant
