As the day progress and more houses are dismantled to assemble their fortifications, a scout standing on top of a recently built watch tower would be surveying the nd looking through a little telescope quite diligently. He inspected every part of the great pins that encompasses the vilge. As he surveys the ft fields a grass his eyes skims over a little bck dot in the distant. He quickly gnces back over to it. quickly wipes the gss of his telescope with a little cloth in disbelief at what he sees.
The dot grows rger and rger by the second it shape develops spreading out as it begins to fill the sky. He quickly drops the telescope and cps his two cupped hands together to create a fire ball to which he quickly proceeds to through in the air. Everyone in the camp falls silent as the roaring fire ascends into the air only to combust it a beautiful wave of fire.
Bells start to ring across the camp the whole vilge is now running around with a furious pace as many run to get their weapons. Gora gets up trying to find where the ringing is from. trying to figure out where the danger may be, but just finds herself swirling around as shes overwhelmed by the simultaneous ringing of multiple bells.
Rex’s squad quickly rush to grab their gear. Gora stands up and spots the approaching hoard her eyes go wide at seeing the sheer number of them. While impossible to tell while their flocked together, gora looks at the massive amount of men on flying beast heading her way its obvious they’re severely outnumbered .
She quickly throws the wrapping off her spear and charges towards the front line. The luutons are here. The battle for survival commences. Arrows fill the air coming from the hoard. Gora jumps towards them holding her spear in front of her with two hands and starts to spin it with an incredible amount of speed. bolts of lighting fly in random directions snapping apart arrows as the very action of spinning generates geia and the rotating shaft of the spear shatters any arrows that come even close to gora.
Now with the hoard roaring above head gora suddenly stops rotating the spear sending all the electric geia she just generated flying towards the luutons. The unrelenting wave of lightning pushes through the luutons like a tsunami of energy. Who ever the wave hits is a goner as their body is scorched to char as those unlucky to be around them face sparks of geia arching between their dead ally and them.
The horde quickly splints as the luutons forward approach is diverged. In a single attack gora has killed 100 of the luutons. She grins looking at her spear clutching it tightly”so this is what you can really do huh?”
Though Gora’s glory is cut short as an arrow that barely misses her. The luutons hoard start to refocus themselves as many of them fly past gora they fire arrows at her. She quickly starts spinning her spear again trying to hide as much of her person underneath her weapon. A luuton warrior dives closer to her taking advantage of her attention being pulled upward .He pulls a riding glove off with his teeth and winds his arm back getting ready to release a wave of ice. Gora’s eyes widen seeing the luuton riding right for her her but unable to shift her attention to him as she blocks volley after volley of arrows, but before he can attack a sound like stampeding beast comes from behind her. Utum rushes past her colliding straight into the mounted warrior with his massive shield
The man and his beast are sent skidding across the ground their bodies rolling on top of itself as nearly every bone in their bodies are fractured and splintered. The man never gets up but the beast makes a single attempt to stand before pitifully falling over and dying. Utum stands in front gora his ginormous shield that he holds with one arm taking all of the arrows with ease nothing even leaving a single scratch on his mighty wall.
Gora looks at the giant shield with astonishment. It had to weigh over a ton pounds and yet here he had just charged with it as if it were any normal shield. The absurdity she thought to herself as she stood in the life or death situation.
Arrows are sent flying upwards at the luutons from all directions from the vilge. The entire vilge had been turned into a maze of arrows. The astrans archers fire aimlessly into the sky trying to hit the massive conglomerate of luutons as arrows rain down upon them
The rest of Rex’s squad and sir rex himself join gora and utum. Fres are sent flying into the air to confuse the luuton flying lizards. All chaos has now ensured. As the fres hit the drakes and catch fire to them sending their fming carcass down to the ground.“When will the reinforcements be here?”
gora shouts as she continues to rapidly rotate her spear. Rex tries if the reinforcements were coming yet. Surely they had seen the fre.Within the second a fre shoots up from both sides of the vilge though Rex’s face quickly becomes that one of horror as both fres were facing towards the next vilges. With this signaled the ruin to any idea of reinforcements.”it seems we have to deal with this ourselves it seems you were right about the eastern border miss grigora because both vilges are being raided as well.”
This news fell heavy on the party of seven warriors. With the their survival now uncertain Sicus lets out sigh and starts strumming away on his pandura”well then lets get this party started.”
The air becomes warm filling the astrans with a new sense of energy. Utum grins and grabs one of the javelins on his back and starts throwing them at the enemy. Sending the fming javelins into the bodies of their beast and themselves. Secomi draws his sword from its sheath deflecting the arrows as they come as any luuton foolish enough to try and dive at him is sliced apart.
Cofus and rex charge together dodging and deflecting arrows as they come.They jump on top of the houses and fortification running roof to roof slicing and burning any luuton rider that gets close enough to them always staying on the move as to not become an easy target.
Arvus stands in between gora and utum using their protection to fire arrows into the luutons. Quickly grabbing a handful of arrows she fires a veracious volley of arrows using her geia to set the tips afme.
The battle is fierce as the 400 astrans take on the luutons who most likely had over a thousand men both sides take heavy causalities. While the knights seem unstoppable in the ferocious onsught of the mounted invaders. the levies were having a harder time only able to kill a few if any before being picked off.
Aemulus charges on with his squad into the battle his sword held high as he hops onto the roofs with rex and cofus aiding them and cutting any luutons with his sword trying to dive.”it seems multiple vilges are being raided rex this means were not the only ones to get reinforcements i guess”
Aemulus says sounding quite annoyed to rex as they face on the luutons back to back. “What you saying you cant deal with these flying savages yourself? How sad i shall remember you fondly if you are to fall here today sir Aemulus”
Rex says with a smile on his face”hey don’t get any bright ideas asshole im just telling you there’s no one coming to pick up your sck!”
sir Aemulus yells at him sounding quite angry. While these two commanders commerce with each other their focus never feins from the battle at hand. Not a single arrow gets close to touching them as they us their swords to make quick work of them.between deflecting they send waves of fire towards the luutons maiming and killing quite a few.
Though as the commanders are easily dealing with the front of the luuton hoard more of them are coming in and they seem to be getting tougher and tougher. Their beast are getting rger and the number of luutons with geia seem to be increasing as not only are their dives becoming more frequent, deadly arrows now start freezing whatever they hit.
Whatever hope their was of rebuilding this vilge is now gone. As falling burning beast crash into houses destroying them and causing the fire to spread. arrows fill every other inch of the nd. Gora releases wave after wave of her lightning though with each attack its gets a little smaller and smaller. The color starts fading from her hair coming from a pure blond to a lighter dirty blonde.“Utum you bastard i hope you have two of those shields because im not sure how much longer i can protect your back!”
Gora shouts sounding like shes starting to get tired. An arrow coming from their side gets through their defense aiming straight towards Arvus, but before it can hit her Sicus stops pying his instrument for a moment and releases a burst of fire from his hand destroying the arrow. The wooden shaft is burnt to crisp though the metal from the tip now molten still finds its itself flinging towards Arvus.
Thinking quickly Sicus reaches for his dagger and swats the molten slug away from his sister, though directing it instead onto gora. It hits gora on her back melting through her clothes and burning through her skin. She screams in agony and stops spinning her spear and falls to the ground screaming”gora!”
