All of the village men had rushed to the borders ready for war all the men had no hope of survival and they were well aware but when they thought of their families who were behind them waiting for their victory they steeled their hearts and prepared for the inevitable.
I stopped after running a bit to look at the fight which was about to happen but after a few minutes nothing happened I began to think what everyone was probably thinking that Lambert might have hit the bottom of the barrel one too many times when we heard.
The thumping of the hooves against the soil brought dread to all of us the flames of their torches appearing one by one as though vengeful spirits.
The beast like roars which followed after was the straw that broke the camels back chaos ensued once more the people who had given themselves false hopes that everything was nothing more than the ramblings of a drunk man finally accepted reality, the reality that we were being attacked the screams as though a symphony orchestrated by the goddess mistress dusk herself.
I dropped my sword watching the battle breakout I always had dreams of going out into battle and coming back with glorious tales but this was nothing like what I imagined.
I saw people, people I had grown up knowing family and friends die before my eyes. My feet were glued to the ground I wanted to run but my feet won't let me I tried to cover my ears to block out the wails but my arms wouldn't move I tried closing my eyes but they remained wide open no matter what I did my body wouldn't obey me I felt like a prisoner in my own body.

the battle was ongoing with clashes of swords and stench of blood in the air.
The men of the village were outnumbered and outmatched but they stood their ground like valiant warriors.
At the forefront was Mikhail he fought like a beast with each swipe of his sword his blade reaped a life the Knights who came with in with a fearless attitude began to waver.
the leader seeing this told the others on the horses to intervene and once again the tides were turned.
"yes the commanders are here!" one of the Knights shouted giving his men morale once more, but when the village men heard this the temperature went from cold to freezing.
the commanders, there was no one in the whole of Elypsůs who hadn't heard of them. in the drakon empire their army had ranks from the common soldier to the 100 man commander to the 1000 commander to the 10000 commander to the chapter leaders and finally the generals.
And now the men had just found out that the were four commanders and a man who could command them it was what scared everyone in the village each commander was know for their monstrous strength and it was a known fact that the drakon empire respected only strength.
" by Borvvůk's beard were screwed." Hogün shouted when he realised they were about to fight four commanders
