---{ North: Citrine City }--
A battlefield can be seen - There, the landscape seems to have been scorched out by extreme fire, and the fire that spreads also burns a number of wooden boxes and carriages, even houses that seem to act as bases are burnt to the ground.
And in this battlefield, a bunch of soldiers, or rather, knights; wearing the same kind of uniforms are fighting off against a single monster -
[ Fire!!! ]
With a call of what seems to be the knight leader, arrows came flying to the sky onto the monster they're currently fighting with - a wyvern.
[ Tsk! Our arrows can't even reach it! We gotta have to deal with it in some other ways! ] and as the leader had said so, the arrows they threw at their enemy was just swept away by the strong wind that is produced by its wings.
The wind that is being produced by the wings of the enemy was enough to make them step a foot back. And every time it intentionally flaps its wings, they were left with no other choice but to cover their eyes to prevent dirt from entering it and affecting their visions.
[ If we can't fight it with arrows, then there's no way we would even be able to scratch it! ] with his arms covering his eyes, he shouted in distress.
[ No, sir, we still have our casters! ] a soldier said so with dedication and enthusiasm, but soon, as if he had realized something, he frowned.
[ But... They too, have spent their mana and won't be able to make an immediate attack... ]
[ Then what's the point of telling me about them! There's no other way, we need to prepare the siege weapons! ]
There was no other choice - their secret weapon, their mages had already exhausted their mana from trying to defend the base earlier, and now, none of them have enough to even perform a single spell.
[ Bu-But! No one will go onto them! All of our siege weapons are getting prioritize by the enemy! It's suicide! ]
[ No, doing nothing about this situation is suicide! We need to get into those siege weapons! ] in his usual tone, he shouted. Then, he raised his sword up into the air and commanded all his soldiers.
[ All the remaining knights! Split into two groups! One will act as the bait and one will go and prepare the siege weapons! ] he yelled at the top of his lungs -
But, as the soldiers were shocked by his command, none of them did what he told them to, they only stared at him - then to each other, not knowing what they should do.
[ What are you doing! Prepare the Ballistas and Catapults! ] this time, he made his command more specific, but still, none followed.
[ What!? Do you want to stay here and get scorched by the enemy's flames without even trying to fight it! Follow what I said if you want to survive! ] as he can't seem to be able to make them follow through normal means anymore, he started to threaten them and give them a proper speech.
[ Aren't you soldiers of the Kingdom! We don't recruit weakling that can't even follow a simple command! Prepare those siege weapons or I'll cut off your heads myself! ]
With his eyes red and his chest pumping out for air, he gave off his command for the last time.
And for the first time, someone had finally started to move... and soon, all of them followed.
[ Split into two groups! The group that will prepare the siege weapons, come with me! Julio, you come with the other group and act as baits. ]
[ Ye-Yes! ] he gave his instruction to the person next to him and the other knights as well.
He ran, and as he did, he took a glimpse of their enemy flying off into the sky - and just as what he ordered the other group to do, they lured it out of their group by attacking it and taunting it out.
Soon, they arrive at the top of what seems to be a siege tower. Its cobblestone walls are already in pieces, no one could tell when will it go down. It's a very dangerous spot, but there, they found what they need the most now - the siege weapons.
[ Good! Now, all we need to do is to ready our siege weapons! Everyone, load the Ballistas, trebuchet, and Catapults, we will take that wyvern down before it wipes out the other group! ]
With his command, all the soldiers had prepared and loaded all the weapons they could use for killing off their enemy.
They loaded arrows to the ballistics, put on rocks on the catapults, and altogether, they loaded the trebuchets with large boulders.
A few minutes then had passed and everything was finally prepared, all they need to do is to lair out the enemy onto them.
And just as about she starts to think of some ways to do so, a report suddenly came from one of the soldiers who has an item that can allow people to see from afar.
[ Sir Alex! The enemy is reaching this way! It seems that it had already wiped out the other group! ]
[ Tsk! ]
Only a few minutes had passed and they have now received this grieve message. They can't help but scowl and grimace.
[ Everyone! Don't let their sacrifices be put in vain! We will kill this enemy right here and right now! ]
[ [ Yes!!! ] ] it was the first response he got from them since they have been attacked by the enemy.
Maybe because of the fact that their companions had died that they felt that they should respond to their leader's shout for revenge.
[ Fire!!! ]
Without even a millisecond, the soldiers had emptied their weapons.
The relentless assault of arrows, rocks, and boulders had reached the enemy, and the sound of its cries had started to dominate the sound of crashing rocks and cracking arrows.
[ Just a little bit more...! ]
That was right, just a little bit more and they will able to win against the enemy.
And as they have guessed - almost just a minute later, the wyvern fell the down from the skies and onto the ground.
*Bam!!!
As its body fell down on the ground, everything became silent...
...
...
...
A few moments had passed...
The wind felt cold and the sun felt refreshing.
And finally, after a few seconds, they were able to shout their victory...
[ We won!!! ]
[ Alex-sama! We won! I can't believe it! ]
[ We were able to avenge our fallen comrades! ]
All of them had started to have worlds of their own. Some of them threw their weapons to the ground and some started to hug, but one thing for sure is that all of them started to cry while having huge smiles on their faces.
And Alex, too, made a satisfied smile on his face as he looks at his comrades.
He won. And he wants to experience this moment in full.
So, he took off his helmet and feel the gentle breeze of the wind.
And his face, or rather, her face was revealed to be a beautiful blonde.
Finally, she had won the battle. He never thought he would be able to, knowing that their enemy is a wyvern. But, despite the odd, they were able to win.
She smiled and turned to the skies in front of her.
[ ... ]
But almost immediately, that smile turned to something opposite...
As the gentle wind blew off her golden hair, she again commanded -
[ Knights!!! Prepare the weapons! ]
[ A-Alex-sama!? ]
Everyone again went quiet and...
[ Another enemy is coming... And this one is even bigger! ]
