The dwarves were riding metal ships with cannons attached to them while the elves were riding wooden ships that looked like they were made up of wines,
Both the armies reached the coast at the same time and their kings met up with each other in a tent,
The dwarven king said,
"Do we really have to attack the humans? "
The elven king said,
"What other choice do we have, we can't win against that monster even if we join together "
The dwarven king sighed and said,
"I don't want to interact with that monster ever again "
The elven kind nodded and said,
"Yes me too... so what do you say we do about humans "
The dwarven king said,
"Our army combined is unparalleled and I think it would be better if they just surrender. "
"It will atleast save some bloodshed "
A dwarf entered the tent with a letter in his hand,
He kneeled down and presented the letter to the dwarven king,
The dwarven king read the letter and said,
"The humans said that they will not surrender, they are not cowards "
"They will fight until the last drop of blood in their body "
The elven king and the dwarven king looked at each other,
"Hahahaahhaaa " And began laughing,
The elven king said,
"These bugs are brave now... Hahaha "
The dwarven king nodded and said,
"Yeah, let's crush them "
They then left the tent and returned to their armies,
The human army was already marching towards the coast,
The king and Amira were sitting in a carriage,
There were thousands of knights flying in Pegasus with thousands of soldiers riding horses and thousands were walking,
There were also mages, adventurers and mercenaries,
Inside the king's carriage,
King asked Amira,
"So what do think, will he come or not "
Amira said,
"He will come but master is still imprisoned by him"
The king said,
"We have to make sure to not hurt him and only subdue him "
Amira smiled and said,
"We have a tool for that "
The king then opened the window of the carriage and ordered a knight,
"Inform everyone that not to attack the hero"
In the Iron city,
Pete and Leona also heard the news of that the human army marching towards the enemy so they began to prepare to head there too,
They bought some rations and weapons and were about to leave the city when the bartender came to them,
He said,
"Sir hero, would you be kind enough to let me accompany you "
Pete said,
"So you want your revenge... "
The bartender was surprised when he heard this and said,
"How does sir hero knows this much about me? "
Pete said,
"That doesn't matter, but you can come with us "
"We will be leaving in about an hour, meet us outside the city gate "
The bartender bowed and walked away,
Leona said,
"Why did you agree for that "
Pete said,
"I can handle hundreds of enemies alone but I can't handle an army alone "
"We need strong subordinates for that "
Leona said,
"Even if he was an assassin, he is just an old man now "
Pete smiled and said,
"Even if he is an old man, but he is stronger than you "
Leona was surprised when she heard this,
Pete was smiling while thinking,
'Old bartender assassins can even beat hero in middle stage of novels, so he will be strong '
They then meet up outside the city and then headed towards the battlefield,
Pete asked the bartender,
"How long would it take to reach the battlefield "
The bartender said,
"About a week by walking and 3 days in horses "
"But don't worry, the battle shouldn't start so soon "
Leona said,
"Now that you are travelling with us, what should I call you "
The bartender thought for a moment and said,
"I am sure sir hero knows my name too but if he not calling me by my name then you can call me butler"
Leona said,
"Ok we will call you butler from now on "
They then paced up towards the battlefield,
After three days, the human army has reached the coast and now could see the elven and dwarven armies,
Their steps stopped as they saw the armies banded together,
There were thousands of metal golem in the dwarven army,
The dwarven and elven soldiers were equipped with high-quality weapons and armors,
The moral of the human army dropped quite a bit as they saw the dwarven and elven armies,
Seeing his army moral down, the king said with aura infused in his voice,
"Do not fear the enemy... if you cower now, they will invade your homes and kill your family "
"We have to fight to save out homes and loved ones "
"The goddess is with us "
The army moral rose as they marched forward,
Now the human army and the dwarven and elven army were face to face,
The dwarven and elven king were sitting on the deck of a ship,
The dwarven king said,
"The human army has arrived, let's attack now "
The elven king said with a smile,
"No let's wait for a day or two "
The dwarven king confusingly said,
"They are right there, we can crush them so why wait for a day "
The elven king said,
"In a day or two, their army's moral will hit rock bottom seeing our mighty army "
"It will be easier to crush them after that"
They both began laughing after that,
Every second felt like an hour for humans,
Their moral was slowly turning into fear,
The golems were the main cause of their fear,
The king was also out of his carriage with Amira holding Luna,
But the king has no fear and was even smiling,
"We will destroy these elves and dwarves with the tomorrow's sunrise."
Soon the night fell but the armies at both sides didn't move,
The night passed and with the sunrise, the human king called out some archers,
He then gave them tiny glass bottles filled with dark poison and said,
"Shoot these bottles as far as possible within the enemies when I give you the command"
The archers tied the bottles to their arrows with a string,
The king then ordered the mages,
"Attack with everything you got "
The mages chanted spells and launched fireballs, icicle and mana arrows,
The elves saw the attack and chanted a spell that generated a mana barrier around the army,
The attacks struck the barrier but weren't able to penetrate it,
The king then said,
"Don't hold back.... just make an opening for archers to shoot their arrows "
The mages drank potions and chanted a spell together,
The elven king saw this and said,
"Why are they are exhausting all of their mana in one go? "
A huge magic circle formed above humans and a mana beam was shot towards the dwarven and elven army,
The barrier shattered as soon as the beam struck it,
The king signaled the archers at that moment and the archers shot the arrows,
The mana beam struck the golems and destroyed hundreds of them,
The arrows landed among the dwarves and elves at that moment,
The human mages all coughed blood after depleting their mana in one go,
The dwarven and elven soldiers laughed as the arrows didn't even penetrate their armor,
But unknown to them, the bottles attached to the arrows have shattered and the dark poison have turned into smoke and has entered their bodies,
The skin of the elves that were infected by the poison started to melt at that moment,
The dwarves survived for couple of seconds more then elves but they began to die as well,
The dark poison was spreading among the armies rapidly,
The humans were surprised when they saw the elves and dwarves simply dying,
The dwarven and elven kings were also surprised by this,
The dwarven king said,
"What's happening? why are our soldiers dying "
The elven king said,
"I think they attacked with poison... I have seen those filthy dark elves use poisons before "
The dwarven king said,
"I thought the dark elves lives in demon kingdom "
The elven king said,
"They do live with the demons but there might be one or two that chose to live with humans "
The dwarven king said,
"Do you have anything to deal with the poison "
The elven king signaled his subordinates and he chanted a spell blowing the gust of air towards the humans,
But to his surprise, the air didn't affect the dark poison,
He then tried again couple more times, but the dark poison was still killing the elves and dwarves,
The dark poison was spreading rapidly and was getting stronger the more souls it consumes,
It has killed thousands of dwarves and elves in about a minute,
The elven king ordered his subordinate,
"Retreat the soldiers that are not affected and burn all of the corpses "
The dwarven king said,
"How can you let your soldiers die like that "
The elven king said,
"This is the only way "
The dwarven king tightened his fist with anger and ordered his subordinate the same as elven king,
The elven and dwarven army that were not affected retreated back,
The elves then shot fireballs on the affected ones and burned them,
After burning them to crisp, an elven soldier walked up to the burned place to check if the poison is still there,
And to everyone's surprise, the dark poison was still there and killed that elven soldier,
The dwarven king angrily said,
"Release the golems "
The thousands of golems rushed towards the human army,
The human knights manifested aura swords and shot them towards the golems,
However their aura swords didn't affect the golems and just shattered after hitting the golems,
The golems soon reached the human army and started crushing the humans,
The human soldiers were attack with their swords and spears but their weapons broke as they hits the golems,
The human knights were trying everything to stop the golems but they were not strong enough,
After about a minute, the golems began to retreat,
The humans were surprised by it,
The golems returned to the dwarves and the dwarves opened a lid in their stomach and changed the magic stone,
The human king said,
"Don't fight the golems, just dodge their attacks for a minute "
"They require magic stones to move "
The golems attacked again but this time the human soldiers just dodged them,
The golems were big and were fast too but the humans were faster,
The human king gave the archers dark poison bottle again and ordered them,
"Attach these to your arrows and shot them when the golems retreats "
"But only shoot after they are away from our soldiers "
One minute passed and the golems started retreating again,
The king signaled and the archers shot the arrows at the golems,
The poison bottle shattered on the golems releasing the poison on their bodies,
The dwarves began to die as soon as the golems returned,
The dwarven king quickly ordered the non-infected dwarves to retreat,
The elven king sighed and said,
"Let me show the our power "
He then signaled his subordinates and they all chanted spells and launched thousands of mana arrows towards the humans,
