章 5: Aura Masters. [teaser]
The sound of clashing of blade rang quite frequently throughout the village walls as the demon folks tried too scale the walls. The foxman were relieved because this was a small group compared to the main army of the demon folks. If the main army came to their doors they would have come better equipped for a siege. They would have skilled wizards or magic cannon that would have blown the gate to smithereens in no time rather than wasting time scaling the walls. The fox folks held out as much as they could, though their bows can only slow them down as they did minor damage due to the demprojectile de-buff enchantment. Victor was yelling orders on the walls to soldier to boost moral, and tell the soldier who are injured to keep going and hold out.
"The demon army are preparing a for a ram!!!" A fox soldier said as he pointed down below the gates. Victor heard the commotions and looked below the gates and what he saw made his brow furrow. What he saw was a group of soldier holding a makeshift ram base out of a tree trunk being held by 6 soldier on each side. However that was not what made Victor eyes furrow. It was the rows of demon soldier in a phalanx formation stacking their shield to cover the rammers. Victor knew without any magic crossbows they had no hope of stopping them from bringing down the village gates. Victor ordered the available to focus fire those rammers. He might not be able to stop them but he could surely slow them down. Just as the wall archer was about to focus fire on the soldier holding the ram the archer were suppressed by the demon archer as if they knew what they were doing before hand. A archer slid his back down the wall of the village walls holding the shaft of a arrow which was lodged in his shoulders. The archer looked at Victor in dismay as if saying useless. The demon soldier arrived at the gates and proceeded to ram repeatedly against the village gates. The other archers tried to fire back but were not as lucky as the wounded archer and was turned into pincushion. Victor was not battling with skilled veterans from he War 300 years ago but with recruits and regular guards who did not experience the cruelty and struggle of war. Victor surveyed the battlefield and it was evidence to his assumptions as some of the soldier will broke as they crouched into a Fidel position and held their heads screaming for their love ones and parents. Victor knew they would fail in the end, but he did not think it would end like this. His men breaking in dispair, broken will, broken mind, down moral. He invisian men dying to their last breath for a worthy cause never surrender but as he saw, his men was at a breaking point. Just as he was pitying the situation he heard food steps behind him. As he turn he saw a foxkin who was with the evacuation group running up and was out of breath.
"The women, children, elderly, and disabled are evacuated safely to the forest and is currently heading to the near by villages to seek refuge. I have already sent men with them to talk with the leader of the other villages to ask for reinforcements." The foxman was out of breath when he gave a quick detail about his events. He leaned against one of the supporting wall so he can prevent himself from falling to the floor in exhaustion as he sprinted here in his full combat uniform.
Victor heard this news and was elated. This was a good opportunity to raise moral as the goal they were fighting for has been achieved. Now they just need to give it their all from here on forward.
"Men, the evacuation has been achieved! Fight for your mother, brother, sister and father, fight for your family and friends, fight for your home!! Shows these cows of horns the real beast of these lands and show them the beast nature of the foxkin!!!!"
"AUOOOOOO," the wall guard cried as they raised their weapons in the sky. Just as their hurrah was wailed the gate were breached. Demon soldier poured like water from a broken damn, they had their weapons drawn and engaged with the closest foxkin as sword collided. The foxman all rushed down to engaged with the demon folks With Victor in tow. The foxkin always had the advantage of agility, speed, and dexterity as they bobed and weaved through the demon soldier strikes and parried their strikes. However they were face skilled battleharden demon soldier who if not most face battles on the front lines.
Victor with a loud roar ramed into the fray charging at a demon soldier who was about to finish a foxkin who was heavily injured. The demon soldier stumbled back but quickly got into his stance. Looking at Victor he knew this was a skilled veteran. The demon soldier did not take Victor as a average soldier. The demon soldier did not like leaving lose ends in not finishing the job with the injured foxkin but was given no choice when a skilled swordman was infront of him. With a loud war cry the demon soldier charged at victor with his sword held high. Swinging the blade down on Victor hopeing to cut him in half. Victor lifted his sword at a 45 degree angle and parried the demon sword deflecting the trajectory off the demon soldier intended mark. Victor using the momentum of the collision swunged the blade over his head and stepped forward and went for a slash to cut the demon soldier head off in the exposed area which was his neck. The demons soldier took a step back and tried to defect Victor blade at a angle but just as Victor sword touch the demon blade Victor smirked. Just as if the sword was about to be deflected from the angle of the demon soldier's blade Victor removed his left hand from the two handed sword and shoved the one of the demon soldier arm to the side breaking the soldier stance making him lean to the side away from his center, Victor took this chance and use the momentum of the deflection and countered by stepping to the side of the demon blind spot using the momentum from the sword deflection earlier swinging it 360 overhead and slice down on the back of the demon soldier neck. Victor flicked the blood of his cross sword and looked at the headless corps. The injured soldier look at the duel in awe, though the exchange hand many counter, parry, and block it took a mer moments for Victor to finish his opponent.
"You ok soldier?" Victor asked while hoisting yo the soldier who was still on the ground waking the foxkin up from his daze.
"Yes sir, t-thank y-you for saving me, I owe you my life." The foxkin was getting ready to bow but what inturrupted by Victor.
"Save it for later, we are still on the battlefield, retreat back and received treatment." The foxkin face flushed red with embarrassment as he was going to kneel for thanksgiving in a chaotic area which was the most inappropriate place to give such gratitude. Victor, after finding some available soldier who was no occupied with any combatants he gave him to their care and they preceeded to escort him from the battle.
......
Magnus Desu was making quick work of the foxkin who came his way. A foxkin charged at Magnus only to be deflected, block, thrown parried and in the end only to be slash through their thin leather armor. It was as if he was cutting carrots, routinely chopping, taking no work no effort Magnus felt frustrated. He wanted to use his skills but was given no challenage. As he was flicking the blood of his 49th victim he heard footstep of a armored soldier, Magnus did not need to turn around as the only combatant with armor on this battlefield were the demon soldier.
"Sir, we are in dire need of help! A skill fighter has appear on the battlefield and is making quick work of our man. We have lost many soldier to his blade. I deplore you for your help in assistant!" The demon soldier kneel in front of Magnus.
"Interesting," Magnus said as he looked in the direction of a soldier who had many demon soldier sourrounding him but non dare to get close and those who did who were not skilled enough were cut down by this particular foxkin. Magnus was looking in the direction of Victor, Magnus with a satisfied smile, judging from the form and fighting style of Victor, Magnus knew he was a veteran. Magnus Deus preceeded to make his way to Victor with long strides. {read the rest on the soon to be finished chapter of "Horns of a true Demon" on inkitt app!!
