The deep yellow flag that danced like the flames of a beacon. A horn signaled that there was only an hour left till noon.His eyes followed the tip of the flagpole and up to the sky,The sky was glommy as the typhoon surprised them in it's storms.
The 70,000 total of Pedalion soldiers that were stationed.The 30,000 soldiers in his uncle's reinforcement, 15,000 soldiers from Count Lopecce, and 25,000 soldiers from marquess Voymont.
15,000 soldiers marched towards the black defense wall, As the Fifth commander knights, Herald. Lead the Pedalion's army to the siege ,Lucian drew his sword and slashed the rope holding the flag .He swung the flag like a bird's soar to the sky.
Then a horn signaled again.
Half an hour until the battle began.
The summoning horn resonated throughout the camp.The 10,000 soldiers of Count Lopecce that were a hundred meters away are settling up their archers and swordsmen as they waiting for his highness signal. The remaining 15,000 soldiers from the Marquess Voymont marched towards the northwest in the kingdom as they'll corner the remaining soldiers that were send as a backup from the Avandor's headquarters.
As the black defense wall was guarded by 5,000 Avandor soldiers , the numbers had little meaning in this battle since the Black Defense Wall's geographic advantage could easily overcome that difference.
They would fire arrows from above as the Pedalion army climbed the wall. The main palace was also guarded by ,15,000 Avandor soldiers .Fortunately, Avandor was confident in this battle and that is their one mistakes on taking advantage of the black defense wall.
As the typhoon and warfare begun , thousands of arrows were shot at them. The strong wind and heavy rain filed the battlefield with blood and mud .
The 10,000 soldiers that were guarding outside of the wall, fought them with their swords, blocking their way on climbing through the wall. It didn't matter for them ,since they've already known the Avandor's current state. The only thing they need to do is take them down and conquer the main palace and the wall .
Seeing his troops slowly losing its number, Lucian who's been waiting for the right time, raised his hand as the archers set themselves and shot them back with their arrows . Crossbows that increases the maximum speed and altitude,shot the Avandor's archers and swordsmen.
After defeating the soldiers from the outside wall . The Avandor's soldiers from the main palace quickly run towards the wall ,but fortunately they've finally climbed up through the wall and able to shot the incoming soldiers with their crossbows.
Then again little do they know that the Avandor's main headquarters also sent an backup from their main encampment,that is nearly closed on the black defense wall.
Stuck onto the battlefield,Lucian didn't change their plan, even though they're losing a vast amount troops .They continued to fight them with their might,as they wait for the final blow.
Screams, metallic clangs, the sound of arrows,and the stench of blood in the air are all over the place .But at that exact moment, a clap of thunder roared as there was a battle going on.
The thunder sounds began roaring from everywhere,as the thunder roars in a dry sky, the sky gets dark, and raindrops start to fall…
Rain and hail will shower along with extremely strong wind and lightning. As his troops had able to open up the iron gates the battle continued as his knight run rushed towards him and reported the current state of their reinforcement.
"Your highness, Our troops can no longer hold this much longer....If this keeps up will.."
"Tell them to gather up!..we will buy them some time.."he ordered,while shooting his crossbows on his targets. "They're supposedly be here by now !.. What taking them so long?!" He wondered as they gathered and had been surrounded by the garrison of Avandor.
Cautiously observe them as his knights shielding him with their swords and an iron shield.
When the thunder roars in a dry sky, the sky gets dark, and raindrops start to fall…
Rain and hail will shower along with extremely strong wind and lightning.
Surrounded by the Avandor's knights, The amount of the remaining soldiers in him was the twice amount of troops that were threatening them with their swords.
Meanwhile Avandor's encampment,The 2nd commander knights of Avandor sent an 5,000 soldiers as their backup , since their confident that they'll win and finally defeated them ,they didn't send much soldiers as an backup.
The fourth commander knights of the marquess Voymont, sent it's outstanding 10,000 soldiers to the main Palace.
Then again ,back at main garden of the palace . Corpses were scattered all over the ground,flags torn to shreds, and were covered with blood and mud.
As the storm gradually slowed down , A sudden shot of an arrow from a crossbow, had almost hit him in his right ear. The arrow had thrimp deeply in the ground,as his eyes followed the distance were the arrow was shot .
It was from the wall were a knight stood up and shot him with it's crossbow. A green military uniform,An Avandor uniform?
Everyone halt as the Avandor's soldiers rejoiced , thinking that they'll be victorious in this battle. The black defense wall was filled with 5,000 archers settling up, pointing their arrows at his troops.
As the man raised his hand to wave it's signal, Lucian and his troops swiftly raised their iron shields ,and formed a formation
of an tortoise defense.
Thousand of arrows were released, Lucian who'd been calculating their final blow, smirked. As the arrows who've been pointing at them change and instead fired at the enemy.
The Avandor's soldiers who've been unaware by the sudden change of the arrows position ,was already too late to escape the rainfall of arrows that had been released by the fourth commander troops of Pedalion.
The troops who wore a military uniform of the Avandor was actually the Pedalion's fourth troops,as his plan on the 'off guard carnage' was a success.
Those haughty and ignorant soldiers who've set assailed at them, was stab by the arrows that fired by the Pedalion's fourth troops.
After firing them,The remaining soldiers quickly lunge at the wounded soldiers of Avandor, and soon take over the remaining soldiers inside the palace.
Blooded corpses was all over the place, the 35,000 soldiers that fought the Avandor's soldiers to its mayhem are now only 15,000 soldiers.
The remaining 2,000 soldiers of Avandor who's been guarding the main palace was no match for the 10,000 thousand soldiers and 5,000 that are guarding the black defense wall under Lucian's command.
Giving them an privilege to surrender, the remaining soldiers didn't lowered their pride as they choose to fight them with their swords.
After the bloody war between two empires,All of the Avandor's soldiers were executed,as they severed their heads and hanged them outside the wall.
The 5,000 soldiers of Avandor that was sent as a backup, were shocked and threatened. Seeing one of the severed head of their commander ,made them hesitant to attack as they were petrified by the dreadful scene.
The fourth commander troops also didn't miss the chance ,firing them with their crossbows . The backups from the Avandor's encampment didn't have a choice but to retreat. The soldiers left with wounds and injuries on their bodies.
Lucian who's been resting at the throne room,received an report from the fifth commander knight , Herald.
"A pleasant day your highness."he greeted, as he approached him
"It is, a pleasant day."he sighed, letting a dry chuckle .
" Do we need to send some troops to terminate the backups from the Avandor's main encampment?" He query, while waiting for his response.
" No, let them be....If my calculations were correct. the total remaining soldiers of the Avandor are now 10,000. Since we've fooled them a for a long time ,I guess will let them this slide ,and just wait for them to surrender."he declared,as he stood up and walked through the hallway , heading to an guest room.
While walking down the hallway, Lucian heave a sigh as his plan on taking control the main palace has been paid off.
7 months ago, A small ambush force approached the Avandor's temporary encampment in the northern land of Theodosia. The wounded soldiers of Avandor were imprisoned and had been executed. Instead of showing off their success , Lucian ordered the 3rd military troops to change their armors to the remains from the dead corpse of Avandor's soldiers.
Conquering the enemies temporary encampment , they've continued to set an trap on the main encampment of Avandor ,by sending information that helped the Avandor won in different battle. But those losses were small compared to their plan on fooling them and able to loose their guard down.
As the time has passed,another ambush was commenced . The southwest encampment of Avandor had been secretly took down by them , disguising as an Avandor soldiers. They were able to took them down unawared by their sudden carnage.
Sending the Avandor's headquarters with false informations, Lucian formulated it calculatedly for several months. Replacing the the corpse remains with their armors. They were able to fooled the Avandor by letting them know a false deteriorating of it's troops.
The four major encampment Avandor had been decrease, secretly controlling the two encampment. Their plan on deceiving them didn't last long as the main headquarters of Avandor got suspicious, the plan on taking control of the black defense wall and the main palace was commenced.
Knowing the Pedalion's movement, the Avandor's headquarters didn't paid much attention for it as they were confident that they'll win victorious, without knowing they've only had 40,000 soldiers in total.
As he been deceiving the Avandor's headquarters with their counterfeits about the Pedalion's losing a vast amount of troops instead of their troops, Made them assumed that the Pedalion's military power is deteriorating and will be finally defeated by them.
Making them believe with their counterfeits coinage ,the Avandor's reinforcement become ignorant and also arrogant at the same time.
Until that day had finally come, Lucian and his army took controlled the black defense wall and the main palace as predicted.
