Fantasy The War of Elcheig

[Harbinger]

Sarani saw the thoughts of the souls in his mind. There was so much death and dispair in his mind. He let out a loud scream from the pain and fell to his hands and knees. Sarami tried to remember the thoughts of him with his family and all the good times they had. When he tried to keep focused on those memories, the other ones took over. It was an ongoing battle for who knows how long. Eventually he was starting to bleed from both his nostrils due to the pain.

They sat there for who knew how long, it could have been minutes, seconds, or hours. Then suddenly, a drefal appeared, running at them full pelt. "Drefal, East side! One man shouted, archers shifting and loosing the arrows. Conner was on the east side, and saw how many arrows it took to drop the drefal, to many. Then more appeared, all shouting in there language, or howling like monsters. "HOLD!" the officee shouted af the pikes, preparing the northen and sothern sides to sweep in and surround the attacking drefal. The firsf one impaled itself on Conners pike, claws reaching for him and eyes filled with hatred looking into his.

Kelai placed his mask back onto his face. He stopped the sharing of memories, and said to the Zecksta. "If you survived that then your have obtained a power unique to your race. you may now change yourself from solid to gas-like form." He saw the body breathing, and left it to do what it would see fit with this ability he did not care either way.

 

[Harbinger]

Sarani got up after staying down on the ground and recovered from the pain. He got up to see the draded had disappeared, he decided to go repay the humans as a sign of respect for attacking them without a true purpose. He picked up his weapons and began their trek to their last location. Sarani saw them in the distance, he ran to their postion and yelled to the officer "would it be okay if I helped you guys out. It looks like you need it."

 

[Soviet Panda]

"If you are going to help, get your scaley ass to the front. Archers! Zackesta friendly in front."


Conner and the rest of his regiment was beginning to bend under the onslaught of Drefal. He had already shoved the now dead first one off and had two more on and off his pike. The line couldn't break, he knew thar. If the line broke, the drafel would be able to swarm them and rip them to peices. So, doing the craziest ir bravest thing, either one, Conner began to advance, taking one slow step at a time. Others began to follow his example and advanced. "THE PIKE WILL NOT BREAK!" someone shouted, rallying the rest to make a push.

 

[Harbinger]

Sarani ran as fast as he could and thought it would be a good time to try out his new ability. He transformed into his gas like state and moved to the back of one of the attacking Drefal. Sarani got a good grip with one hand and began digging the sword into back of the Drefal's neck, causing blood to spurt everywhere and he repeated the process until he fell over.

 

[Yanipurr]

Rexenvail stood and watched as his fellow Drefol attacked the humans it was a great sight one that Rexenvail loved more than any. "Them pikes are annoying CRUSH THEM KILL THEM ALL." Rexenvail shouted his voice more like a roar of a wild beast as a attempt to strike fear into the Enemies. He wasn't going to join the fight just yet he would wait and see what happened unlike most of his race he is smart enough to wait for an opening and if they wasn't one he would make one. He placed his giant sword over one shoulder and stood waiting.

 

[Soviet Panda]

"Archers fire at will. Western side, redirect east and support your brothers. Northern and southern side, close in." The officer spat out his orders rapid fire, pacing his horse left and right to try and get a better view as well as be a harder target to hit by archers.


Conner now had to step over the bodies of those that had fallen, drefal and humsn a like. It was a great relief when the western troops redirected and began to support. Every so often a voice would shout "THE PIKE WILL NOT BREAK!" More often then not it was a different voice. But with each cry, the pikes made a surge forward, trying their best to push back the drefal.

 

[Harbinger]

Sarani kept doing the same procedure by switching to his gas form and stabbing the back of the necks of the drefal. He switched his attention to the archers and followed the same steps until there were only about 4 left.

 

[Banshee]

Kelai had walked a long distance, but heard battling in the back. With the Zecksta's new ability the Humans might win, but that would depend on his willingness to help. He looked over a large cliff face, and saw a massive salvo of Zecksta's troops. They looked to be marching to the west. If that was the case then they would be trying to reach the Metropolis. It would take three days time for them to march at that distance. If they were to reach the Metropolis then it would be a battle to remember, but many would die in the process.

 

[Yanipurr]

Seeing more and more drefal fall Rexenvail decided it was time for him to take action. He sprinted towards the humans with his giant sword in hand and the bones of the dead decorating him. He reached the pike lines dodging the arrows and staying just out of range from the advancing pikes until he saw his opportunity to strike. Two pikemen had just killed two drefal and by the time they get the bodies off the pike Rexenvail grabbed one of the pikes and pulled the pikemen towards him, stuck his sword in the pikemens chest and then threw his pike at another pikemen hoping it would hit."The Pike will break." Rexenvail said slowly he knew parts of the humans language. Rexenvail backed off once again waiting for another opportunity to strike using the dead pikements body as little protection against the archers arrows.

 

[Soviet Panda]

Conner was the man next to the one the drefal killed. Dodgin the thrown pike, it threw it with such ease. Then he heard the drefal growl out that the pikes would break before using his dead commrades body as cover and falling back. This time, he was the one that shouted and savagley drove his pike into a drefal that wasn't dead but on the ground.

 

[Yanipurr]

Rexenvail stepped a few paces back and let out a deafening howl and a group of ten drefal rallied around him creating a circle around Rexenvail. Rexenvail was in a sense the war leader over the drefal forces here and he has used this tactic one before. Before the drefal circle was even moving they were losing men but more drefal seemed to join every time one fell. They began walking towards the pike line when the drefal forces break the circle and form a line of the drefal with Rexenvail behind them. Two of the drefal then allowed them selves to be impaled by a pike and Rexenvail used the bodies of the two fallen drefal as a type of springboard to jump over the pike line his plan go for the leader or make a member of the pike line turn and attempted to kill Rexenvail doing so would create a chance for his men to push through.

 

[Soviet Panda]

Sadly, one of the humans did turn, and was cut down from behind. There was the opening the drefal needed, and the officer saw that. He did the only thing he thought would salvage the situation. "Out swords!" Pikes would be useless this close, or very near to it. But Conner fid not drop the pike, and instead began to use it as a quarterstaff, bludeoning and cutting the enemy.

 

[Yanipurr]

Rexenvail was happy to see that his plan worked but even more happy that he didn't get hit as he expected to. "Give up you may live." Rexenvail said attempting to enforce a surrender. Rexenvail was using his monstrous size and strength to charge straight towards the officer at full speed. A soldier got in his way sword at the ready only for Rexenvail to kick in to the floor and run straight over him. Rexenvail took a stray arrow into the shoulder but that didn't stop him instead it seemed to make him go faster. He was getting into range of the officer . The fight seemed to have took a turn for the better for the drefal forces.

 

[Soviet Panda]

Pulling out his sword, the officer faced the drafel. He knew he faced death, but would give it hell before he died. "Retreat." he commanded his troops, never looking away from his adversary. The troops disengaged as best they could, most even managing to pick up their pikes, and began a fighting retreat.

 

[Yanipurr]

Rexenvail stood still watching it wasn't worth chasing them down. "You" Rexenvail said pointing toward the officer. "and me fight winner leaves men leave as well men live both ways." Rexenvail said hoping his words would reach the officer and that he would under stand that he wants a honor bound fight the fight Rexenvail uses to collect his bones if they accept.

 

[Harbinger]

Sarani saw the humans retreat "goddamit, I thought they would be better than this. I should at least help them retreat." Sarani turned to his gaseous state and appears behind the drafel. He shoots an arrow at the drafel to get's attention. "Hey drafel, I'm right behind you. THose humans are to easy to kill."

 

[Soviet Panda]

"If men will live, so be it." the officer shouted before digging his heels into his horse, charging the bone wearing drafel.


Conner saw the valiant charge of First Marshal Buras Algoth, stories would be told of this day. Songs sung in the highest of noble courts. Of course it would change with each telling, before the tale died he would be a man that rode into battle on an ass armed with only a stick and kill half of the enemy horde before being taken down by a sword in that back by some low down filth. But these soldiers, Conner included, only saw a man doing his duty to protect his men.

 

[Harbinger]

Sarani saw the officer fight to the death, he turned to a gas and reappeared next to the humans "you might want to go now before the drafel changes his mind and comes after you guys." Sarani stood by to see what the humans would do, would they be stupid or be smart.

 

[Yanipurr]

Anger fulled up in Rexenvail as the arrow hit him he felt like he had just been disrespected and his pride spat on. He was willing to let the humans live and they shoot him in the back. Rexenvail let out a deafening roar before charging towards the officer he swung his sword the nearly 13 foot blade over his own shoulder ready to attack when he gets in range.

 

[Soviet Panda]

As the distance closed, the officer got bis feet under him. As they got closer, he sprung from it's back rather gracefully to land behind the drafel. Spinning around, the officer swung at the bahemmoth, hoping to get a hit in.


At the Zackesta's words, Conner took it upon himself as his simple duty to get these men out alive. "Fall back. You heard him, we need to move. Legions 1 and 4, you are to guardthe rear. Make sure none of them get us from behind with out our knowing. The rest of you, get moving to higb ground." All this was accompanied by gestures from his pike and hands.

 

[Yanipurr]

Rexenvail with his blade already over his shoulder could block it just by placing it behind him slightly more he parried and spun around with a well aimed kicked that was aiming for the officers head and he was ready to follow up with swing of his sword aimed for his legs he hoped one or the other would hit.

 

[Soviet Panda]

(You can just do the whole fight. Make sure to make it epic .)

 

[Yanipurr]

(But that's a pain can't I just make it boring )
