Randan's group was mixed with Torkel and Slither's warriors. They ran down the mountain attacking the enemy from the north. While Roschar's warriors as well as Leonhard and Bog's warriors would come from the east. While Norbert's older warriors didn't listen to Rosch, hearing the orders from Randan they started to prepare immediately, but it was late.
Roschar's warriors, Leonhard himself with his warriors and Bogs were already walking through the northern wall of Roschars territory. They took that way and not the western gate, because they started to hear screams from Norbert's territory.
Norbert's warriors are already in a fight with the Nightwalkers. And the stream of human mixes started to rise again. Those that were hesitant at first got scared now and tried to get into Roschar's territory.
With Norbert dead, everybody important thought they should be the new leader of the human mixes and with that, confusion slowly arises. The warriors were all over the place and more human mixed warriors needed to be saved by the minute, even though they should be the saviors for their own kind.
That was the reason more human mixes went over to Roschar's territory. They didn't trust their own warriors anymore.
Flatch, Gerhard and Luchs went forward. All three looked excited. While Luchs had lead warriors before, it was just that one time were they fled their home and some smaller skirmishes before. In the war against the Sunshine family pure chaos unfolded, instinct and just sheer luck won over tactics.
Now he could use some tactics and prove his abilities to the others.
Flatch and Gerhard on the other hand, would fight such a battle for the first time and they couldn't await it. They wanted to fight, as if their instincts told them to go.
"Let's make a bet. The group that kills the least amount of Nightwalkers will have to pay for the others when we go in to the brothels tomorrow.", Flatch suddenly suggested.
Gerhard thought about it for a short amount of time and than nodded. While Luchs was flabbergasted.
" N.... No, wait ammm why not something else? ", Luchs suddenly said becaming embarrassed.
Flatch and Gerhard were surprised. What else had he in mind? After a war, drinking, eating and engulfing in females was Goblin tradition.
"And Flatch. Don't you have Dorna at home? Won't she get mad?", Luchs said further. He tried to say everything to change the subject, but it was futile.
Both looked confused. But Gerhard suddenly looked as if he knew what was going on.
"I know. You are a virgin, right? You Elves have this weird think called marriage and most only have sex when this marriage is done.", Gerhard said, making Luchs blush even stronger.
But to Luchs's surprise, Flatch and Gerhard didn't laugh, but both smirked a bit.
" Don't worry. You are one of us now. And we need to show you some Goblin traditions. ", Flatch had a full smile on his face now, after saying that. And right after the sentence, he dashed forward with his subordinates. He wanted to get a headstart.
Gerhard didn't wait much, as he sprinted forward, too. Only Luchs stood there for a little longer, being perplexed and embarrassed. But he shook his head and went forward.
"Fuck, right now the war is more important, the rest will be dealt with later.", Luchs thought getting serious again.
While those three ran into the territory of Norbert, Gub stood behind and sighed.
"So, I have to show them where the enemy is, but can't get points for that. Seems I will have to pay for myself tomorrow.", Gub thought a bit annoyed.
Those 3 smaller troops went their way and encountered human mixes that fled their homes at first. After a while, the first screams were heard and one of Gubs subordinates appeared before Flatch.
" Two Nightwalkers ahead. One of them seems tired and a bit bloody. The other seems to be in normal shape. Could have been the leader of a bigger group and those two got separated or the others got killed. Anyway, be cautious, because having not been hurt after entering so deep inside is quite remarkable. ", the scout of Gub told Flatch.
Flatch just nodded and smiled. He didn't care, who the enemy was. He and his subordinates were brutes. He only took those that had power and mass. Most his subordinates are Orc mixes and some are even Ogar mixed. Even though all of them are young, everyone of them is at least 1,80 meters now and jacked as hell. The food and training they got, since living inside Roschar's territory was exceptional good and helped their growth tremendously.
So their approach to enemies would be pretty simple. Go and smash them to pieces.
"My warriors, it seems we have our first victims. FOLLOW ME.", Flatch suddenly shouted at the end. His warriors roared and followed right after him.
The subordinate of Gub showed the way.
In less than five minutes the entire unit of Flatch was in front of the two Nightwalkers. They just had to pass some caves and were there.
Those two Nightwalkers looked arrogantly at the approaching warriors, while some bodies of women and even children were lying around them. The one who wasn't hurt and looked like the leader, even stood on the corpse of a female, holding her baby.
"You guys even massacre females and children?", Flatch said chillingly. His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded scary. As if he was ready to murder those two, as slowly and brutal as possible.
"Hmmmm? Oh you mean those insects under my foot? Haha massacre? Do you call exterminating pests a massacre?", the Nightwalker leader said happily. He sounded relaxed and as if everything was just a stroll in the park.
Now every warrior of Flatch got annoyed. Being called pests hurt their pride and they wanted to run forward attacking. But to their surprise, Flatch was the one running forward first. His face was hateful and looked enraged.
The Nightwalker on the other side started to smile. He gave his subordinate a sign.
The Nightwalker that was hurt a bit, started to run towards Flatch. He looked up and smiled a bit, too while Flatch didn't change his facial expression. He swung his steel club at the hurt Nightwalker with all his power.
"Haha, stupid Goblin. Do you think we can't cut steel? You will be cut in half cleanly, idiot.", the leader said happily. His grin grew further and further.
The bone blade and the steel club clashed and like the Nightwalker said, the bone blade cut into it without problems.
The warriors started to look worried, but Flatch suddenly started to smile. And with that the his warriors, too. They even started to laugh out loudly.
The bone blade suddenly stopped, after reaching a third of the steel clubs thickness. The smile on the Nightwalker faded suddenly, as the huge steel club came closer. He even tried to dodge, but his bone blade got stuck in the weapon of Flatch.
With unbelievable strong force, the face of the Nightwalker started to deform abnormally. Cracks and breaking sounds were heard, but that wasn't all, the head of the Nightwalker suddenly gave in and snapped backwards breaking like a twig, hanging down behind his shoulder.
The body dropped down, but the bone blade was still stuck in the weapon. Flatch shook his arm a bit till the bone blade finally snapped.
"Holy shit. Their bones are terrifying. My steel club would have smashed the head of other beings to pieces. Even the neck broke only after resisting a short period of time. If his bone blade hadn't gotten stuck inside my weapon, the Nightwalker would have been smashed backwards and probably survived. They are hell of though. ", Flatch said surprised. This was the first time he fought Nightwalkers. He now knew, why they are apex predators.
Flatxh wanted to say something, but the Nightwalker, who looked like the leader turned around and wanted to run. He knew that it was now dangerous for him. To think they killed one of them so easily, even in a one on one.
But to his shock, before he could dash forward a force grabbed him painfully around the ribs and threw him backwards towards Flatch. As he landed on his back, his gaze instantly went down towards his chest and was shocked.
Two hooks on chains were stuck in him. They got entangled between his ribs and pulled him back. He wanted to cut them off, but the sudden look back up towards the sky made him realize that he would be dead.
Five blunt weapons, clubs, hammers and poles were smashed down onto the Nightwalker.
He couldn't even react, only a loud groaning sound was heard. They warriors of Flatch didn't stop and smashed the Nightwalker some more. They wanted to be sure he would be dead.
"Those Nightwalker bones in the center of our blunt weapons kntruly fantastic. With that we can fight on equal grounds with those Nightwalkers.", Flatch said happily. He than walked over to the corpse of the female and looked at the baby in her hands.
He looked closely and after touching the baby, Flatch felt a light pulse.
" SCOUT, come here. Bring the baby back to our territory. He is still alive.", Flatch said, waiting for a scout to appear. Flatch looked at the female and was proud and stunned. She protect the small being even after death. She pressed the baby against her so strongly that it couldn't scream, but held the nose free for it to breath. An astoundingly strong-willed female.
"Your baby will lead a good life.", Flatch said with a smile. He turned around and looked at his warriors.
"LET'S KILL SOME MORE. THOSE BASTARDS NEED TO BE COMPLETELY ANNIHILATED. NOBODY ATTACKS US AND THOSE WHO DO WILL PAY.", Flatch screamed loudly going towards the next enemies.
Meanwhile the other two leaders of Roschar military were fighting, too.
Gerhard was using tactics, that ripped groups of Nightwalkers apart. He than went after those that were alone.
Even when he had the advantage, he never underestimated his enemies and gave it his all.
After separating the Nightwalkers, Gerhard used poison, fire or other means to win efficiently. His way was the most brutal way for his enemies, but the safest for his subordinates.
Luchs on the other hand used Elven tactics.
He came as close as possible and as soon as his enemies saw or felt him, arrows would rain on them. He than stormed the enemy with magic coated swords, giving them no chance to retaliate.
Everyone had their own tactics, but one thing all of them had in common.
Before the war began, they discussed the best tactics to hunt down Nightwalkers. And everyone of them specialized in one way or another to kill them.
And with that the hunt began.
