"Oh, they seem to be routed easily," Claire spoke as she was proning alongside Andrei, in her green cloak.

"Let me borrow that," he suddenly told Andrei, and tried to take away his gun from him.

"Don't you have magic already? Without that I don't have any weapons just so you know?" he retorted as he flicked away her hand preventing her from taking away his flintlock.

"Then, make me one when we arrive home," she withdrew her hand and gave up.

"I got it, I got it," Andrei sighed, knowing that he can't keep up with Claire's whims.

Andrei then focused on the developments on the battlefield, "it seems that the plan is going smoothly, but that big one over there might be a problem, isn't he calling the shots??"

"Yes, probably, Andrei take a look at that," Claire pointed at the demolition team throwing out molotovs, "the big one saw them! They are chasing after them!"

"Tch, so we have to change tactics huh,"

Their strategy was simple, it was to draw out the enemies and lead them to the minefields, after that Michaela will take charge of cleaning up, the survivors on the minefield, but contrary to his expectations, there were still forces left at the rear, they were waiting for them to make a move first before creating the new firing line at their backs surrounding them with no way to escape.

But they have seen the demolition battalion that has no weapons, being approached the enemy, and it's also their obligation to keep them safe.

"Company 1 and 2, on me! Claire, stick to the plan, if the rear force moves further than the location discussed, make the firing line immediately!" Andrei told her as he picked up his gun.

"Got it, don't worry, I know the basics" Claire responded bluntly.

Andrei and two companies crawled to the side, using the tallgrass growing on the plains, the deformations and the shadow of some trees.

"Everyone, ready your guns and prepare to shoot, aim at the knights coming for the demolition people," Andrei and the companies arrived safely without being discovered

"Yes sir!" the leader of Company 1 and 2 responded.

After a few seconds of preparation the flintlocks made a cracking sound as they pulled the cock. This was also the same as Andrei.

"Okay, when you hear an explosion you are clear to shoot, that way they won't be able to hear us, ready… "

[Boom!] one BC exploded after being triggered by horses.

"Shoot at will!"

[Boom!'] some of the men approaching the demolition team were eliminated.

They repeated the process and the men who tried to go after the demolition team dropped one by one like flies, when they were done realizing the danger of being at such a place Andrei decided to fall back.

"Okay everyone! Crawl back to the encirclement!"

"What is happening! Ahh!!!! Come with me you idiots! We're ending this once and for all!" The commander sent a telepathy message to his soldiers who were with him in the rear. They then all filed and started charing also to support the vanguard.

"Damn humans! You will pay for this!" He had a scary expression, his rage was focused on the golden-haired woman overlooking the raging minefield which he thought was the land erupting., whenever someone gets through it, she would freeze it and break them to pieces, or just simply burn them.

"We're halfway now, I'll definitely take your head!" he cursed her in his soul while closing in to the direction, but he felt something different as he made the charge, he noticed that his forces were getting depleted and depleted the more distance they made, when he looked back he saw hundreds of his knights were already downed by something.

"NO WAY!!! HERE ALSO? THIS IS THE REAR YOU KNOW?" something like fear was engraved on his soul, as he can use the mouth of the body he inhabits he screamed, "Who the hell are you! Show yourself!"

But what answered him were projectiles that came from behind, killing again hundreds of his men.

"YOU COWARDS!!!" he exclaimed, as he didn't know what to do, most of his forces are already routed and now he is in danger of the projectiles coming to him.

Another volley of projectiles flew at them and this time one was coming for him.

"Corrupted Curtain! Manifest!" He cast a spell, but it didn't help, the projectile passed through it and pierced his stomach.

Smoke rose up from the plains strangely, and thinking it could be the enemy he focused on it until he could finally see it, there were green men with green hats proning towards them pointing spear-like weapons at them, and some of them they were busy doing something with it.

"So there you are huh! puny humans! Your tricks are finished now! Casters! Unholy Sword Combined!"

His men were downed but he still has a few thousands of them left, and they filed together and started their incantations. However the men in green were faster, after doing certain procedures, another set of valley hit him and his men, and the incantation was stopped.

"Fucking!!!!!!" like a rabid dog, his mouth spewed out saliva as he talked with a horrid voice, "Casters! Don't combine it just send swords flying in that direction!"

"Commander, it won't reach!"

"What did you say??? What do you say it can't reach!"

"They are very far away"

"You mean our magic is inferior to them?" This time, irritated, he held his soldiers head and crushed it, during this exchange another volley came for them and now a few hundred was left.

"Forget it! I'll do it myself!" Confident of his physique, where the projectiles didn't have an effect due to his manifestation, the dark elf commander unsaddled from his horse and started his incantation where a large sword oozing with evil aura and blood appeared above him pointing it at the green men proning at the distance, but forgetting that his soldiers were already obliterated at the front he felt a surge of coldness at his back.

When he turned around without stopping the incantations, it was the woman who wore golden armor, she walked with a golden sword towards him, and making her way to him, the dead knights that attacked her were either frozen or burned, and on her back, he could see her knights cleaning up the dead knights who were still moving, making sure no one survived.

This sight alone made him fly in anger, and he knew clearly who was responsible for it, it was the woman who dared to walk confidently at him. He desired revenge more than anything else, "you'll pay for this humiliation woman!" he shouted at her.

The woman only looked at him and announced.

"Michaela Acirendra, Queen of The Kingdom of Ethareri, you and your kin have toyed and hurt humans too much, now accept your punishment and die!"
