Capítulo 224: The Empire Strikes At night
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Spells of ice and fire hit the front of the encampment, and our forces scrambled to meet the surprise attack. No notification of the attack came from the scouts of my Illusionists, so it must be something else. The Elders had already departed, and I heard in the air above us a fight between A rankers that I didn't have the time to watch. I had to trust my Elders to meet the attack. I jumped out and started to get my bearings on what was happening on the ground in front of us.
I leaped into the air and started to rift just so I could get a judgment on what was happening, and I saw the Empire clashing against the defense forces at the front. The Line held, and I noticed my Elite army clashing in the weakest areas and fortifying them as more reinforcements came to secure the line. Warriors clashed against shields, and Wizards started to separate themselves from the front of the line and put up protective measures from the spells coming in and barraging the warriors.
Our Bunny-kin overrepresented the Wizards, and they were taking control very quickly in a calmer way than I thought. The Empire, garbed in steel, continued to clash, and men and women of both sides died without the defensive line falling, much to my surprise. Moral among the Beast-kin were high from the small string of victories, and I heard shouts.
"Kill the Empire Cowards! They think us Beast-kin will back off even in the night?!" From someone in the elite army to gather morale and push back. Roars and cries of moral rising speeches were being made, and I noticed almost all of them from the Elite army squads reacted the fastest. They followed their training and pushed back against the Empire forces even from surprise.
I watched as the barrage continued from a small distance in the back line behind the shield warriors of the empire and their swordsmen. The forces were in a quagmire in the opening bout, and I realized just how high our morale had to have been to take a sneak attack, and now, I even heard some laughing from our forces as they basked in human blood.
We wanted to take this fight if this was all that was happening as the Empire was off their wall and at our camp. What a stupid move, but I needed to look out for something, and I found what the Empire wanted to do.
I turned and sent a message to the War chief, "You need to send a large group of our reinforcements to the west encampment. I see Empire forces coming from our west, and we cannot be flanked. Our central forces are fighting back and no longer need the reinforcements. I will take the central forces and counterattack with my army."
"You are activating the Elite army?" The War chief responded.
"They have been upholding the front since almost the start as the first reinforcements. I will bring the rest of the army and cleave and kill as many Empire forces as I can!" I replied back.
"May the wind be at your back! I will bring the rest to the West as reinforcements to the empire. I will leave some backup in case they also try to attack from the east!"
The mana messages only took a moment, but we responded, and I sent out a message to my Elite army, "Good work holding the line! I will be joining you and attacking the front. All forces will move forward into the Empire and kill them where they stand. Our objective is the Wizards! All squads prepare for battle!"
Various acknowledgments came through, and I took a moment to think about how I should move forward. That was when it was finally time to show off one of my first plans for the Elite Army, and I executed the first order for the Army to work independently. "Squads, Wizards, Execute Breaking plan one. On my mark," I executed, and I closed my eyes and started to transform into the void itself, burning mana quickly. "MARK!" I sent just as I finished transforming, and a boom overhead from the Empire clashing with the Empire marked our movement.
Many little things happened at the same time. My Illusionists started to mess with the perception of the Empire that the back lines were moving. It was only for those at the front who could barely see, but no such movement was coming at them. Then the Wizards started to work, brought their best breaking spells, and targeted the weakest points if there was one of the lines. The Illusionists would cover this movement, and the warriors and scouts were behind the movement as soon as the Wizard completed it. It only took a moment, and the moment I said mark is when over thirty holes in the Empire's line appeared for a moment as they were taken by surprise.
Large explosions of mana bloomed across the line, and behind them were Warriors coming in and smashing the hole even larger in pairs of two, opening the line just large enough for the scouts to get through and start to kill or harass those reinforcements to close the line. As that happened, the Wizards went back to defending the warriors and scouts as they penetrated the Empire's line, and the Elite army squads focused on bringing more and more of the Main army through those holes.
I didn't need any input from you as the Main Barbarian army noticed what was happening. Like a highly individualized group, they jumped on the opportunity to blast through the line and use the opportunity presented to them by their Elite army counterparts.
Then I appeared, and as the holes in the Empire force's line of battle grew larger, the Elite Army moved forward with the forces going for the main objective.
The Wizard backline.
I appeared above them just as the forward line of battle had holes appear throughout. And like a grim reaper, I felt the beat of adrenaline as I appeared among the Wizards, and they felt the mana movement. They could no longer focus on the front line as they turned to me, and I leaped to be in the middle of them.
Chaos ensued, and I focused on a dozen things at the same time as the C rankers attacked me, and the B rankers truly knew what needed to be done. I would open rifts for those spells that would hit me as my foot came up and split a person's head into two as the void moved through them. Parts were missing, and I didn't care, as my job was to make the B rankers engage me and forget about the front.
I then started to move through their C rankers as a grim reaper, killing and cleaving the enemies in two, causing the largest distraction as I could as B rankers finally started to attack. Three attacked me at the same time as C rankers retreated. Three robe-covered people started to attack me, and I noticed it was two women and one Man.
I leaped through a rift, instinctually to dodge a large purple ball that seemed to explode in the distance. That was lightning, and I was surprised that someone used such mana. But I didn't have time as ice and fire suddenly shot at me, and spikes of ice started to appear all over. I moved quickly on mana-enhanced muscles, dodging and weaving as I got close to Wizards and ended their mortal coil.
I rifted repeatedly, and my mana burned, and I could see the surprise on their faces as I fought them as a spirit of the void. I then appeared in front of the one shooting a bolt of lightning at me as he just sent a bolt. I appeared before him with a smile on my face, and I grabbed him and tore at his face.
I caught the lightning Wizard, and I turned and tossed his body in the way as a fireball blasted his body toward me, and a spear of ice came through at me and stabbed into the void of my body. I felt nothing as It pierced the void, and his body fell back, and I looked at the other two with a smile as they killed a fellow wizard.
Then more were upon me, and fire, ice, earth, lightning, and light spells meant to blind me were sent. All were able to injure me as more and more B-ranked Wizards responded to free up the C-rankers to help the front lines. I couldn't help but smile as I moved through the spells and dodged and killed C rankers, not even trying to kill the B rankers as the motion of my orders finally rang true, and the Elite army with the Barbarian main forces pushed through the unprotected front lines.
"RETREAT!" An old voice suddenly shouted, "Back to the wall!" The voice urged, and not a single moment passed between those words, and the Steel armored soldiers started to try their best to retreat together.
We clung to them and killed them as they ran back, but as soon as we neared the wall, a barrage of spells we were unprepared for came in waves, and we had to back off. It was an onslaught, and the first battle of Border City, where the Empire tried to ambush us at night, ended in our victory.
