Capítulo 21: War
The Queen had gotten word that Raja had launched an attack on the scorpion territory and was shocked to learn about who they were looking for. The Queen didn't think that Raja would take this opportunity to launch a war against the whole scorpion clan just for those three fugitives.
It had been a week, and Drazon had improved quite a bit, he was training alongside some peers of his that Gina was also teaching. They were slightly older than him, but he didn't back down as he went toe to toe with them. They were all level twos, so Drazon was able to quickly conquer them as he had upgraded to a level three.
When Gina had seen how strong Drazon was, she was shocked as she didn't want Drazon to train with the kids anymore but had him join the group that was level 3, and the age group for level three was 19+.
When Drazon appeared at their training, they were surprised to see a young dragon at level 3; they knew he would be dominant when he grew up, so they decided to duel him any chance they got.
Due to having more experience than Drazon, they were able to beat him, and that's because Drazon didn't go all out. Drazon had just turned 11, so he had grown a little bit taller and was taller than other kids his age. His appetite had also gotten much bigger as he was eating like a teenage dragon.
The ones that were training hard to get into the King's guard were training alongside Drazon, which made it a little weird for them. The kingsguard only accepted level fours, so most of them had gotten to level three and were training hard to achieve a higher level to live a better life with better benefits.
When Gina heard that can, Raja had declared war on the scorpion's territory, she just laughed. She told The Queen not to worry and that even if they were looking for them, the scorpion clan doesn't lay down to anybody, and they're also looking for battles to fight to sharpen their stingers, so this was a perfect opportunity for them to do battle.
The Queen just shook her head and forgot how battle crazy the scorpion clan was. Gina was even starting to get excited as her stinger started leaking poison. When the poison fell on the ground, it started melting a little bit of it as The Queen shook her head and froze the place where that happened, causing Gina to shriek and laugh.
The Queen warned Gina that she has to stay with them as she didn't want anything to happen to the kids causing Gina to frown because she wanted to fight this war. After all, battles had always excited her, and being home would bore her to death, knowing that there was a battle going on.
The Queen shook her head, and she said "you're too old to go into battle now so just relax and enjoy your retirement" when Gina heard retirement she said, "no I'm not retired no wars were going on, so I was just relaxing getting ready for the upcoming war Sabrina."
The Queen's eyes got cold as she said," I haven't heard anybody call my name for the longest time, please don't say it out loud again, even my kids don't know my real name" causing Gina to laugh and apologize.
Gina" Sabrina no one cares to know about your name so get over yourself and besides you're not a Queen anymore since there's no kingdom that you rule over causing the Queen to realize that Gina was right so that night she told her kids her real name. Issa said she already knew her name, causing Sabrina to get mad as they enjoyed each other's company that night.
The following days they continued to train as Drazon was getting stronger and stronger every day. He was finally able to use the space door that had appeared only during emergencies, but the amount of energy that he had to expand to use it was enormous.
Gina decided to let him do some stamina workouts having him run across the desert for miles every day killed Drazon. Still, he was a little bit used to it doing that in the jungle, but this was different even though he enjoyed the heat it made him more tired just working out in it.
The war had finally arrived as Raja was at the doorsteps of the scorpion clan, the scorpion clan had set up many traps within the desert trying to slow down the vast army coming their way. Raja had lost a lot of soldiers to sandpits, traps, surprise attacks, and many more.
The desert was burying their soldiers slowly, but surely, Raja was beyond pissed about this because he had also lost some men, but the hug clan lost the most men due to them being on the ground. The sandpits caught a few of them and swallowed them up never to be seen again, and there was nothing Bono could do about it.
Raja lost man here and there due to some sand arrows that would be shot from the ground up into the air, hitting the Phoenix clan members. Raja was very annoyed by this as he was starting to lose men too. Raja roared in the air telling and Spar the scorpion King to come to fight him one on one.
Spar, who was enjoying a nice meal at his palace, did not hear what Raja said, but the commanders of the scorpion clan did and just laughed while they were underground, setting up more traps for the troops. Little by little, they were bringing down the spirits of Raja's army. Bono was pretty pissed due to still losing his men.
The eagle clan, on the other hand, had not lost a single person as they were high in the sky, Raja wanted to go up higher but didn't wish to his clan's people to be mixed in with the eagles and didn't want to seem like he was running away from the challenge since the hogs were getting their ass beat.
After a few days of torture, the army had lost over five hundred men before they finally reached the scorpion territory. That's when Spar and a thousand of his clansmen were waiting for Raja and his army. Raja had about 3,000 people all together before he went there but arrived with 2,500.
Raja was tired at this point, and the spirits of the army were down, so he had to come up with something to say to lift their spirits back up; otherwise, this would be a losing battle. Raja made some half-ass speech, but the hugs weren't smart enough to comprehend it, so they just roared to hype themselves up.
Spar yelled at his army, saying," this is the time my fellow clansmen, we shall divide and conquer, we've been awaiting war for some time now that one is upon us we must sharpen our blades and stingers to achieve the next level. The hog clan started to see the scorpion as a meal and wanted nothing more but to try some scorpion meat.
The hog clan did not even wait for Raja to say charge as they charged it with red eyes. Raja glared at Bono who simply shrugged as he also roared and charged in, as soon as the first 100 hogs got to the halfway point they all fell inside a massive sandpit causing Spar to laugh out loud as he said "you fools, you bring that large army with no smarts do you think I will approach you guys face-to-face knowing how strong the whole clan is, its three clans against one so I will resort to tricks to whittle down your numbers.
Raja almost coughed out blood after hearing this, but he ignored it as he told his clans in the sky to take down those jokers. They were in the air so they had an advantage as they swooped in grabbing some scorpion clan members one by one, but the scorpion clan members did not give up as they crouched to the ground and put up their stingers and shout out venom.
When Rodger saw that the poison was devouring his clans mates, he frowned. Sabor, The Eagle Queen, was also pretty pissed after seeing her clanmates being hit by poison as she also roared out, saying," tear them apart as they still charged at them regardless of the poison. Some were able to get through it while others weren't so lucky.
