Capítulo 60: Chapter 60
|3rd POV|
It takes them a week to have all the preparation, just like Lucretia predicted. The rumor about Godwin burning the place when they are losing has already spread across Doraat and its surroundings.
What makes matters worse is that Chiyome casts a powerful curse on the entire city to make Godwin have a hard time suppressing the rumor going around the city. It takes a massive amount of mana from Gerrald, but he can take it.
So here they are, marching to Doraat.
Gerrald can see a couple of thousands of people standing on top of the wall, ready to fire their arrows at them. As they get closer to the wall, a hail of arrows rains upon them like rain made of steel and wood.
Sadly for them, there are magicians among the loyalist army. The magician unit and Gerrald release their magic to block the arrows coming at them. The first wave of arrows manages to be blocked without too many casualties, but it does not stop there.
Another wave of arrow rain appears above them, and the magician units must take action again.
Slowly but surely, they manage to get close enough to the wall for Gerrald to take action. He takes a deep breath, and a symbol of Thunder Rune appears above him. The symbol shines for a second as Gerrald shouts the name of the spell.
"[Bolt of Wrath]!"
Dark clouds appear above the wall of Doraat, and suddenly, a massive thunder strikes a section of the wall. Some of the soldiers manage to get away after seeing the dark clouds above their heads, but most of them are too late to react and get hit by the massive lightning.
At least twenty people died from the direct hit, and more than thirty people got hurt from the stones that were thrown away by a lightning strike.
People start to panic, but the captain on the wall makes sure his soldiers are still in formation.
"Don't panic! That must be his most powerful spell! He will not be able to cast more spells!"
Sadly for him, Gerrald is not done. He might not be able to cast more [Bolt of Wrath], but he still has another spell given to him by the [Thunder Rune].
"[Soaring Bolt]!"
Another lightning strike appeared from the sky. It is smaller and weaker this time, but it is enough to kill the captain in a single hit.
And that created even more panic among the soldiers. Seeing your leader die in front of you will reduce your morale into atoms. More than a dozen soldiers abandoning their station reduces the overall morale of the entire army.
Alenia, one of the Queen's Knights and the supreme commander in this battle, looks at the deserters in distaste and shouts.
"Kill anyone who runs away! Make sure they are dead!"
The members of Nether Gate, disguised as soldiers that follow Alenia, move out and kill all the people who run away. However, instead of increasing the morale of the soldiers, it solidifies the rumor that Godwin did not care about them and the city.
It increases the doubt within their heart, and they start to wonder if the other rumor is also true as well. The rumor is that Freyjadour will forgive them as long as they surrender to the Loyalist Army.
Lucretia smiles as she puts away her telescope and gives a quick order.
"Shielder! Go forward! Infantry! Take the ladder near the wall! Magician! Make sure to protect the infantry! Archer! Go to position and start firing!"
The infantry and the shielder take the center, with the magician unit standing on their left and right. Archer stands on the flanks and ensures they are close enough to the magician for protection.
The loyalist army slowly but surely manages to gain hold over the battlefield to the point that Alenia decides she needs some kind of opening that will let her break the loyalist army's formation. He ordered the cavalry to move out and open the gate to let the cavalry destroy the shielder and the infantry coming at them.
Gerrald grins at the incoming cavalry and takes out five huge barrels of water from his inventory. He controlled the water and spread it across the battlefield in front of the incoming cavalry. He then waited. After waiting a few seconds, he quickly changes the water into ice and watches his work bear fruit.
A lot of horses fall to the ground because they cannot run on the slippery ice. Sadly, this only works once, as the ice breaks upon impact from the falling horses. However, it is enough for Lucretia to send the cavalry unit to help them.
Lucretia already knows Gerrald's ability and his battlefield fighting style. When she sees him take out five barrels of water, she quickly orders the cavalry to rush and help form the center to attack the incoming cavalry.
At first, Dinn, one of the two commanders of the cavalry unit, did not know what kind of plan Lucretia was thinking, but when he saw the enemy's cavalry unit start to fall down, he understood and ordered his unit to speed up.
Wilhelm, on the other hand, only grins as he has already seen this kind of tactic before, and he is glad that Gerrald is on their team because Wilhelm knows that he is a nightmare for any cavalry unit. Cavalry's main weapon is their charging ability; when it gets disturbed, their fighting ability will be cut in half.
What happens next is a massacre for Godwin as their cavalry unit gets destroyed before they can even reach the Loyalist Army.
Alenia grits her teeth and looks at her left hand before a grin appears on her face. She raises her hand to the air and shouts with a manic grin on her face.
"O Twilight Rune! Destroy my enemy!"
The rune on her left hand shone with power that blinded the army around her and gained the attention of the people outside of Doraat. Zerase, the maiden of the stars, looks at the light with a frown on her face.
"Fool!"
She prepared to interfere, but before she could do that, she felt something, and her eyes landed on Gerrald. She could see his forehead shine a little, and she knew that she did not need to interfere any longer.
"Hmph. Using Twilight Rune against the bearer of Sun Rune. What a foolish woman."
