[In the plain land near Capitol of Nefaris]
In a camp set in the plains, was army of near 8000 who were preparing for battle as many were sharpening their blades and many were resting as without rest even trained soldier die to noobs. A scout came slowing towards Yami who was dressed in a battle attire of azure blue colour.
Scout: "General, the armies of Willskog will be arrivingin 5 days by noon."
Yami: "Have the troop form tiger formation, the battle will commence by dawn."

As the sun struck its first ray the armies of Rebels marched under command of Yami, Safina, Armud, Caocao, and Yahiko. The five generals represented the best commanders of the strongest five countries that were rebeling.
When the walls of capitol could be seen, Armud stopped there with his men and started setting up as he was from 'CUTUBUDIN' kingdom who were famous for its artillery. Armud set up his trebuchets and seige engines and started bombarding the capitol.
After some minutes Safina and her troops also stopped and started chanting magics that included defensive charms, attacking buffs, defensive buffs, for alliea and offensive charms on the enemy walls.
After some distance even Yahiko and his troops stopped and started raining down arrows upon enemy.
Caocao and Yami were rushing their men to get them into melee. The Imperial forces of Nefaris were already prepared as this wasnt much of a surprise attack. Archers were slinging volleys upon volleys on the rebel troops but thanks to Yami giving order for tiger formation, the casualties were less than they would have been.
Yami's men had shielded themselves from all sides and had formed a shielded box which gave them a defensive moving fortress after magic was casted upon shields.
Caocao's men were also under the shield fortress formed by Yami's men. When the army reached near the walls with very small casualties, they started trying to climb the walls with siege equipments.

[2 days before the rebel siege]
In the Palace of Nefaris Emperor, a man was standing in front of the majestic throne on which the emperor of Nefaris sat. The emperor had white beard and white eyes. He was quite old but he still had aura that threatened all who saw him.
The man in black robe who was standing in front of the emperor spoke "so what is your decision?.... I believe its a pretty easy choice, you can save your kingdom and even have more lands. Its pretty much a free offer, you will also gain favour of the gods and banish evil. You will be written down in history. So what do you say, Emperor Nefaris 81st!?."
"I agree, but do not think it is because of greed and the shine you offer. This is simply my choice to protect my Empire." answered the Emperor Nefaris.
Robed man: "Indeed, a wise choice emperor"
He said as he vanished into thin air.
Nefaris 81st: "I did not think that my own people will rebel to me. I will have the head of those who betray me. ZIBATSU!!!!"
A man fully clad in red armour stode from his seat as he said" At your service, my Emperor"
Nefaris 81st: "Prepare for defence of the capitol. Have the attacked regret rebeling to this emperor. Leave none alive."
Zibatsu: "Yes my emperor"

The seige was ongoing for 4 days as both sides tried to kill each other. The rebels were in better shape then imperial forces. On the fourth day, the rebels were attacked from behind the lines and the artillery was targeted and destroyed by imperial cavalery which hid in the mountains and waited for opportunity to attack the least defended place.
Much of the artillery was lost and less than half was rebuilt but still not enough.
On the 5th day, the imperial hero of Nefaris, Rithamus also took part in the attack to drive back rebel armies wkth his trusted steed, EagleFang, which was a epic monster, griffin.
According to reports, Rithamus defeated Caocao in a duel and took his head, driving rebels from the north gate of the capitol.
[PRESENT]
Yami was sitting in a tent around a table accompanied by Safina and Yahiko.
Yahiko:"when will the reinforcements arrive. We have already lost half of our forces after the imperial attacks since yesterday, even Armud and Caocao are dead. The imperial forces will attack in an hour again!!"
Safina:"Sir Yahiko, we need a plan not an obvious report!!!"
Yami:"We have the plan, all forces will retreat and regroup with Willskog armies. I alone will hold the line for escape."
both Yahiko and Safina were showing surprised expressions on their faces. Stopping an army by himself no matter who it is, saying this would make anyone laugh.
Just as Yahiko was going to object, Safina spoke "Ok, we will retreat but be safe, i believe you wouldnt take a foolish action for this stupid war."
Yami:"Yes, believe me I will return safe."
.

At that moment the rebel forces retreated and only a single man was standing on the whole battlefield.
Yami started walking in the direction of the incoming cavalry. He then stoped and griped his sword firmly and took his stance.
Just as the riders approached Yami, his hand flashed and the front row of the cav fell to the ground in an instant. After falling they split, the flesh and armour included was cut so clean as if they were always this way.
Rithamus watched from the sky as the soldiers died without even knowing what happened to them.
Many couldnt see but he could as he was applying magic to his eyes to see better. He say the blur with the hands of Yami and understood what happened.
He knew Yami pulled out his sword so fast and slashed horizontaly and then sheathed his sword again, all in a single seceond.
He had heard of this technique that was almost impossible to learn, flash draw, a technique that focused on drwing of sword or bow in a flash with force enough to cause slashing or piercing damage enough to destroy a 9th rank defensive spell easily.
But this only made him exited as he finally found a worthy opponent.
