Warm winds flowed through the lines of men, knights, and archers as they stood in ranks. Their eyes are as sharp as blades and their spirits bright as flames. Banners flapped in the air, there were many sigils in this grand host. From a black destrier horse to a moose to a sword mounted next to a shield, they all stood together in unison, awaiting the archers to knock their arrows and let loose on the Canteran forces, to lead Avaraine to glory, defeating their enemy.
A certain man stood tall among the forces of Avaraine Emil Selewyn was clothed in shining black armor, his hand wielding a large sword as black as the night sky, and its sharpness glinted in the sun. His blue eyes were shining with certainty behind his helmet which had large moose antlers that stood proudly making his presence ever more monstrous. The moose's head on his sigil, and his banner stood with bravery as he lifted his free arm and shouted
"Nock!"
The arches followed the command as their bowman knocked their arrows and silence came and it was deafening, not a sound was heard from the birds who watched from the safety of the trees. The canteran forces on their hills were all in a defensive position. The clankings of their shields rang out overcoming the silence as they readied themselves for the volleys of arrows to come.
The sharp blue eyes of Emil showed his thoughts that they must win this battle, or all this will be for nothing and they will fall protecting no one Emil knew then. As his hand dropped, the archers let loose. The arrows cover the sky as if they were clouds as they fell like like a storm of rain battering the shields of thge canterans and men unlucky and the arrows went passed the shields groaned in pain and collapsed to the ground.
volley after volley came as Emil turned to his friend Damian Drayton his blue eyes showed a softness as they traced the faces of the dark-haired man, and his caramel eyes.
"Damian, I trust you with the cavalry to ride to the flanks. I know this is your specialty." He said with a smile as Damian nodded and let out a chuckle.
"I'm honored, we'll talk after we destroy these fools." Damian said as he turned and mounted his large black destrier riding to the cavalry shouting commands and jesting.
"Come men on me, we will fuck these canteran cunts with our horses!" As he roared, laughing men followed with determination, knights followed on their horses as they flowed to the flanks as Avarainian arrows still fell over the canterans.
Emil watched as the volleys of arrows finally came to a stop on his command, his blue eye following the cavalry staring as Damian and his forces began to smash the Canteran cavalry. Damian led in the front, cutting one man off from his horse with a smile plastered on his face as he yelled out in excitement.
His forces sliced through the flank like a knife through butter, the Canteran cavalry was not as skilled or experienced as the Avarainians were. Damian rode with such ferocity and his men flowed right behind him as he yelled out insults "You canteran cunts can't do anything but fuck your own mother by your king's command!" These insults assaulted the canteran cavalry's ears and defying their commander rushed through to meet Damian. The Avarainian horses pulled back, letting them keep pushing further. As the anger that blinded the canteran men subsided they realized they had been encircled.
the Avarainians closed in the hooves of their horses, smashing the ground as their sharp lances started cutting down men knocking them off from their horses, as they were beginning to be routed. Soon after the flank fell, from 10 thousand cavalry, only 2 thousand were left as the commander brought his remaining forces back.
Damian's victory over the right flank made the lines vulnerable but the left was still holding. Emil commanded his vanguard to push in. The horns' sounds streamed through the hills as another set blew as well, and Damian began assaulting the right flank and cutting down men left and right. As the battle raged on, the vanguard finally clashed with the Canteran lines.
The Calvary of the right was fully pushed back after slaying Lord Wily Javen, who was slayed by lance to the heart. The Avarainians pulled back and began putting their forces towards the right. As this happened the vanguards clashed and as Emil planned a pinching maneuver, with the cavalry attacking the forces on the right they managed to push back the canteran vanguard sides back leaving the center exposed forcing the canterans to give space.
Swords danced in the air, shields blocked strikes, the Avarainians were pushing further and further into the cantaran ranks. Soon the canteran arrows flew, and many fell with arrows sticking from their bodies and Avarainians fell. Alonso Cantrell the man leading this host pulled his sword out from a Avarainian knights visor as he shouted
"Men with me, I only ask you to fight for your families, fight against these river scum for every man to strike with bravery to stop them from destroying your lands!" Alonso rushed into the thick of the battle and his men lined up behind him pushing the Avarianian center back. The ground was littered with limbs and corpses as the ground was covered with blood. As they pushed forward they soon met a giant stopping their forces, the man's armor was covered with blood and men scattered about all were cut in two, as the giant knight's longswords gleamed, blood dripping from its tip.
Alonso's mouth curled to a frown and as his face was grim, he watched the giant knight shouting his battle cry cutting down 5 of his men with one swing of his sword as the Avarainians poured all their strength to push the canterians forces back all the while the cavalry reigned chaos on their flanks. Alonso soon saw his mistake and pushed the center forward as the flanks were being struck from behind and his reserves were being hit hard by knights mounted on their horses.
A tinge of fear enveloped him as he yelled out desperately, "Fall back, Fall back!"
The canterans began retreating until the Avarainian reserves joined the thick of the battle, forcing Alonso to push forward with his flanks. Seeing their commander push forward the vanguards' flanks even while being bombarded with wave after wave of cavalry strikes pushed forward their momentum, pulling the men to fight and fight hard.
Every step forward left death in its wake both sides inflicted massive casualties to one another. But the burning hatred these men held for each other kept both sides fighting for a hundred years of feuds boiling over as they struck one another.
The surrounding air smelled of iron and sweat as well as feces of the men who relieved themselves after being cut down. Alonso fought with vigor as he cut down two men after disarming them and cutting their throats, letting blood spurt out from their throats. As he slashed another he heard a yell.
"YOU DAMN BASTARD TELL ME WHY!!!" Another giant man screamed shorter than the other and his helm was decorated with antlers, Alonso thought as he turned his complete attention towards this threat as Emil continued shouting "YOU FIGHT FOR A KING WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU, BUT YOU CONTINUE MURDERING YOUR OWN PEOPLE FOR WHAT REASON!"
Alonso's blood began boiling as he intended to stay quiet but he shouted out in a flash of anger "They were rebels, and my king is my kin!" Alonso's sword began pointing at Emil as they both began slowly coming closer to each other, even as the battle continued around them.
Emil's dark sword slashed at Alonso's as he dodged, sending a slash of his own, they had over ten trades when Alonso sent a diagonal strike, Emil parried and went for the kill raising his families longsword midnight above his head and it fell at the speed of a lighting strike, intended to cut down Alonso only not to strike down on flesh but the blood-soaked dirt.
Emil's eyes widened in shock, as the great sword bit the ground and he turned his eyes towards the flashing sword. Seeing it creep ever closer he let go of midnight dodging the swing that meant to cut off his arms. Emil gritted his teeth with anger as Alonso had a small smile as he began dancing with Emil, forcing him to dodge every strike.
Soon enough as Emil dodged he tripped over a body falling onto his back with a crack as his whole weight, and the armor he wore cracked open a corpse's skull. Seeing this Alonso finally saw his opportunity. Emil was not going to be able to dodge as he was on the ground as he swung down.
Alonso had the air knocked out of him as he felt his ribs crack, as his sword grazed Emil's cheek, and as he jumped on top of Alonso, he laid on top of him Emil began striking him with his punches, as hard as he could.
Thwack…thwak…thwack.
Emil repeatedly punched he could hear Alonso screeching as he begged for his life Alonso's men could do nothing as they began crumbling down.
"ple-' Alonso teeth went flying from his mouth his face gushing with blood "Fwea hyp" Alonso began slurring his words as the punches did not cease, and his body shook, as he desparatly tried to push Emil off him, seeing his attempts not working tears began pouring out his screams screams echoed in the battlefield.
But Emil kept punching, Alonso's head was disfigured as his skull collapsed when he clenched both hands together and smashed his head in. Alonso's movement ceased but Emil kept punching. Until afterwards the head was just a mushy slop. Emil finally stood, his whole figure covered in blood, and brain matter stuck to his armored hands, as his stark blue eyes looked upon what remained of Alonso's head; the only remnants were his teeth on the ground a couple feet away and his skull scattered about on the blood-soaked soil.
Emil began overlooking the battle and the canterans fell, all their morale plummeted and they surrendered. But the hill was scattered with the dead on both sides, the whole hill was stained with blood, Emil remarked just blood.
Emil's eyes glanced at his hands at what he had done "blood" Emil said silently as he walked away. This battle ruined canteran forces and its fate was sealed. Cantera will fall.
