章 21: Battle against the Barbarians (5)

The ambush against the barbarians was successful. They might not kill them all, but they pushed them deeper into the mountains. With the strong magical beasts living in the are. They will surely not live very long.

The attack only lasted for over half an hour before it ended. Lori and his summons didn't even receive a single injury. The 50footmen who went with him only receives small injuries. Because the barbarians didn't really fight back and just escape, none of the footmen die.

"With many dead bodies in the area, the smell of blood will definitely attract the magical beasts. Just take the body of their leader and return back to the city" the thick stench of blood already started to spread in the area. Lori knew that magical beasts will certainly be attracted to this. So he just orders for the footmen to take the dead body of Haes and return to the city.

Lori's head was covered by sweat. Because this is his first time using his abilities in actual battle, he was having a hard time at first. But after a couple of minutes in the fight, he started to become familiarized with his abilities and could now easily perform them.

Waiting anxiously in the tent was Commander Allan. When the second prince and several others decided to ambush the barbarians. He wanted to come with them and bring some people with him. That is 3,000 barbarians, for him, that is a very huge number of barbarians. Now the second prince wanted to attack them. How could he not feel anxious? If something happens to the second prince, then this city is over.

When the tent opens and Lori and the others came in safe. Commander Allan quickly ran towards them and saluted. "Your Highness, what happened to the barbarians?"

Lori smiled when he saw Commander Allan's anxious face, "Bring it inside"

A soldier came inside carrying a dead body. Seeing the appearance of the man, Commander Allan realized that it was the man who came with the one named Khof Lu. Commander Allan's eyes immediately noticed that there weren't any cut or wound in the man's body. He just saw that in his chest was caved in. The man was definitely hit in that area with a very heavy force making it look like that.

"Your Highness, what happened to the other barbarians?" Commander Allan didn't even notice that his voice was trembling. Many emotions came inside him making him excited, wheater it is admiration, shock, or respect.

"Dead, while some of them escape from the mountain"

With Lori's simple words. Commander Allan felt his whole body was hit by something huge. He remained silent and didn't make a move or noise in his spot. He just looks like a statue.

Lori then went to rest on his bed. 'Tomorrow will be the final clash against the barbarians. After that, I need to prepare to return to the capital to help my father and mother. I really didn't expect that the queen and her family would be brazen enough to poison father'

At the same time in the barbarian camp. Khof didn't know that Haes had already fallen. What they talk that tomorrow morning, Haes will put pressure in the south while he will attack the north. And at that time, he will be able to breakthrough through the city defenses and slaughter everyone inside.

He was already prepared for tomorrow's attack. The 5,000 barbarians were also preparing as they were sharpening their weapons.

"Tomorrow, we can have many women as much as we want!" a bearded barbarian said holding his weapon.

"He he he, with Lord Khof leading us. Victory is already in our hands" many barbarians agreed to the man's words.

"But I see that they have a mage with them. Also, they have that powerful warrior with six swords. Tomorrow's battle will definitely be hard" a barbarian said solemnly. Earlier when he was watching the battle, he felt scared when he saw the man perform that powerful attack that not only kills the powerful Yol. It even killed his escaping brothers. He thought that if he was to fave that man, he will surely die.

Pah!

A barbarian spit on the ground and snappily said, "although that man looks strong, don't forget that we have Lord Khof. Also, boss Haes was sent to the south gate of the city and their forces will be divided. At that time, either it was the mage of that warrior who stays here. They won't be able to stop Lord Khof'

Many barbarians agree to the man's words. For them, Lord Khof is an unbeatable existence for the barbarians. He won't be defeated and cant is defeated.

The next day, when the sunrises, Lori and the others were already prepared. The broken gate was already replaced by a huge wooden door. Although it is not as sturdy as the previous one, it can still help them delay the barbarians from entering the city.

In the top of each tower, the Silverwing banner was wildly dancing in the air. Under it, the soldiers were all standing tall with a proud stance. Because of their win yesterday, the anxious soldiers were transformed into this ready to fight to death.

"They are already moving!" a soldier from the tower shouted and the drums of war was sounded. Everyone in the city knew that this would be the fateful day and the end of this war. The ordinary residents of the city were inside their homes praying for the forces of the second prince to win the battle.

On the other side, Khof riding his horse was leading the barbarians. This is the agreed time for both him and Haes to attack the city. He had already thought that the soldiers in this north part of the city is halved of its strength. With this in mind, he was confident for his win.

His eyes full of ruthlessness suddenly saw something hanging in the city wall. When he saw what it was, his expression turned into a drastic change. First it was shock, then it was a face full of hatred and ferociousness.

Because what he saw was a body, and he was very familiar with who that man is. It was Haes who marched to the forest in the dark. The cold body that was hanging on the city wall was the single proof that his plan to divide the enemy has failed. And now, his 5,000 strong men will be battling against the forces from the city alone.

Not only him, even the barbarians who were following behind him saw the cold body of Haes hanging on the city wall. Some of them pale, while others reveal an angry expression in their faces. But whatever they felt, this is still a huge blow to the morale of the many barbarians in the army.

Knowing that his plan already failed, Khof roared loudly, "Charge! Kill them all! Don't let anyone live!"

"Uuuooo!!" When the barbarians heard Khof's shout. They suddenly felt that their blood was ignited and their morale suddenly rose. They all charge forward like a crazy bastard holding their weapons tightly.
