Chapter 8 - Horns of a true demon (Updated)

Captin and the Red Horn battle was not the star scene of the battlefield as there was chaos and madness everywhere. This was the first time a species of another race made the demon soldier feel dread towards their foes. Though fighting many centuries with the native of this world, the demon just thought it was a fight of worthy foes, a battle of nobility, honor and valor however looking at the state of the battle between the samurai and the demon soldier they concluded it was a battle of pure savagery, desperation, dispair. What cause this was that most of the troops that Tomoe brought with her were all from the Shimazu Clan. During each battle of Sekigahara, many of the Shimazu soldier were outnumbered and many of their allies betrayed them or were routed. Even face such odds the Shimazu soldiers, determine to fight their enemies to the last man and take as many foes with them to see the afterlife. Same fate could be scene here as they were out numbered however they had the power of the aura masters power as well as their in-born fierceness as they overwellemed the demon army.

The battle could be seen everywhere as saveragery as a ashigaru foot soldier was pining down a demon soldier with his blade determine to slice the foe head off but the demons soldier held the katana off as it was inches away from his neck.

Two Redhorn samurai walked together as they slayed many demon soldiers on the battlefield making their belt full of dangling heads, resorting to cutting off the foes upper lips, which has the deseased male masculine hair on it, showing proof of the kill as they stuff it into pouches. They main purpose on the battlefield is not to hunt grunts but mounted horse mans on the battlefield as one of them carried a long katana in a larger sheath, the blade is known as the nodachi while the other career a spear.

"Hey Danja-San, we will work together to get a horseman but I get his head and the next one is yours." Said Toga, who was twirling his spear with each swing a head of a demon folk was decapitated.

Danja just walked beside Toga with his Nodachi resting on his shoulders. With the look of disdain he said to Toga, "You fuck you got the last one, this one is mine, without me you would have a hard time talking down a mounted horseman." Danja Sneered at Toga's remarks.

Just as they were arguing in the middle of the battlefield they saw a demon knight on horse back. Killing any samurai soldier as it rode by, but has yet encountered the red horn samurai, unaware that a greedy eyes of a horn samurai was staring at him, Danja and Toga stared at the knight with greed as they licked their chapped lips.

Danja stared at the mounted soldier then looked at Toga. "His head is mine, help me get his head and I help you get three extra heads later and give to you."

Toga looked at Danja and angrily shouted "why don't you rob me of my underware too! This is thievery in broad daylight! His head is probably worth six regular soldiers, if not seven!"

Danja looked irritated due to Toga resistance, but he really needed the knights head, " 6 heads in the future, and and two mustached lips."

"Four, four lips or no help," said Toga with his arm crossed, looking at Danja with disdain.

"Fine," Toga relented with a growl.

The demon knight was was not often called into battle, as they just let the foot soldier do the dirty work as that the knights dislike. However, due to the fierceness of the new enemies the nobles on horse back were called into the fry as the footman were getting hacked and slashed by these crazed barbarians, who if given the opportunity took them into the grave with them.

As a group of knights rode into the battlefield they felt like a thousands eyes looked at them, like a pack of wolves eyeing a stray sheep. The samurai soldier looked at the group with greed, like looking at a walking bag of money. Taris, one of the riders who split off from the group, rode towards the heart of the battle which was the center of their flanks. Taris's hair stood on his end as he felt that the reaction of the foot soldier was not in his expectation, he did not see fear in these soldier eyes but saw a trace of sneer and pity, he felt like he was falling into a trap. In most cases, foot soldier would run from him like avoiding a plague but he saw that most of the soldier inch very close to his riding path. Right when he rode deeper he heard the war cry from almost all of the enemy foot soldier around him, soldier did not avoid him but almost all of them charged at him with spears and sword hacking and stabbing at him hoping to dismount him. Like a piece of meat being thrown into a pool of piranhas, the enemie soldier were thrown into a complete frenzie at his presence.

"Look, it a high ranking soldier! Look at his armor and his horse, his head is very valuable for the taking." One Japanese spear man said, drueling at the though of being promoted if he presented this head to Lord John-dono.

"My life as a regular foot soldier will be over! If I present this head to the lord." Lots of soldier exclaimed their greedy thoughts as they looked at the mounted knight like gold.

The knight though was surprise by the lack of fear due to his presence but quickly adapted and slashed down his spear at any incoming combatants.

As he was bulldozing and dicing his way through the battlefield, he saw two enemy soldier step in front of his horse, blocking his path. He felt that there's soldier were no ordinary infantry, but elite as he could tell from the apressive aura they gave off and their well endowed armor that set them apart from the rest of the troop. Their armor were a work of art but the great significant that set them apart from all the other armor of the same design is the red horns on both side of their helmets.

The Taris was sneered, "you think two men is enough to take me," roared. On the battlefield, soldier took men on horseback seriously, as a lot of enchantments has been engraved on their armor such as speed enchantment and projectile debuff. With these enchantments soldier would have to create a spear phalanx formation with special enchanted shield to deal with the horsemen which are expensive and not a lot of troops had them. It's enraged him that his enemy were not taking him seriously as only two elite soldier were confronting him with no shield.

The knight leaned forward with his spear pointed upfront and charged at the two warriors. What he did not know what the creeping smirk crawling up the warriors mouth under their mask guard.

Just as Taris charged one of the warrior, the warrior with a spear charged forward with a roar and thrust his spear toward his armor. Taris scuffed at this attempted and assumed this warrior was a a mature warrior as most veteran know knight on horse back have full plated armor and could not pierce, it as it is enchanted. Most veteran would am for the horse but seeing him aim for the rider, He put him on the same level as grunt who attack base on fear. Taris stabbed towards the spear man when he felt a sudden jolt and a painful cry from his horse. His vision swirled as he was thrown off his horse, Taris was stunned as he looked back with surprise. He saw the warrior beside the spear man holding a bloody long sword with his leggless horse near screaming in pain. He was told shocked then angered, angered that these peasant dared not to fight him fairly. With a roaring cry he unshead this sword at his hip and charged towards the two duos.

Toga and Danja were veterans soldiers who both knew procedures of despatching a horseman of his horse. As soon as Toga distracted the horseman with his spear, Danja slipped into the horseman blind spot. With all his strength, Danja sliced through the horses legged. Seeing the horseman turned into a regular footman the situation turn really easy for both Danja and Toga.

Taris charged towards the two soldier and hacked down at the spear man hoping to hack the spear shaft in two. Just as the sword came into contact with the shaft he did not feel the usual cut of wood but felt his momentum was shift away from the spear man. He knew instantly what happened, he was skillfully parried by the spearman. Just as Taris tried to recover his broken stance, the spear man whirled his spear and hack down at Taris helmet hoping to pound his helmet in, though if not fatal depending on the degree of the helmet dent on the skull it would cause sever trauma and dizzyness which can prove fatal in combat. Taris side stepped the spear trajectory only to feel a impact at his front leg tripping him to the ground. Just as he fell he heard a cutting of air coming down on him as he immediately rolled to the side as a dust of dirt blew from a impact where he once were. Taris looked to see the a long sword blade ebbeded to the ground as the second warrior came to do a finishing follow up from the spearman's tripping. Taris stood up and dared not take these two soldier lightly as their skillful team worked proved very deadly.

Taris battled the two on the battlefield which felt like forever. Taris was panting as he stared at the two warriors in front of him as there demonic masked looked back at Taris like they wanted to devour his soul. What seem like a long standoff the spear man lunged forward at Taris wanting to skewer his neck through, just as Taris raised his arm to parry the spear with the last bit of energy remaining, he felt a gust of wing go though his arm and his arm went further then he expected. He saw that the arm he used to parry the sword was thrown past the spear man, severed... A rush of tremendous pain shot to severed wound of Taris arm as he cried out in pain. Looking up he saw the soldier with the long sword flick the blood off his blade looking at Taris with his demonic mask. That was the last thing he saw as his vision swirled as everything went dark.

Toga walked over to the severed head of the horseman and and wrapped the sever head into the knight helm and tied it to his side. Cutting anyone soldier head would not guarantee the authenticity of the enemies rank if something else was not brought to prove it was a big catch. So securing the helmet which was very finely decorated that only high ranking soldier would wear along with the head would further prove the ranking of the claim. Toga and Danja proceeds to head further into the battlefield to claim more heads.
