Chapter 28 - the last battle: the battle of Oakenburn city

3rd pov

the sun had set for oakenburn city ,and darkness start to wrap it with its color.

The city, which used to be full of people and lights at night, is now dark and empty, except for its defenders.

who are spread throughout the city's small wall, holding their weapons tightly in their hands as they look forward towards the hill where their enemy is expected to come through.

and soon As expected, thousands of three-meter-tall green monsters wielding clubs, swords, and trees appeared in their field of view.

looking at the numbers of the orcs that is approaching more than forty-five thousand, the soldiers at the top of the wall couldn't help but clench their hands on their weapons unconsciously.

they instinctively felt fear of the monsters in front of them

They awoke from their trance when they heard William's voice echoing throughout the city.

"men, don't forget why we're here now, we're not here to die fighting those ugly monsters, we're here to kill them before they get any closer to us, we're going to destroy them while keeping ourselves safe so there's nothing to worry about, now it's your turn to play wind mages bring terror to those low life monsters" (william)

Hearing his words, they sigh in relief, as if they remember why they are here.

Suddenly, the group of silver robe wind mages all activate their magical circuit, then place a hand in one of the boulders in front of them, closing their eyes for a moment before opening them and saying

[ wind magic : The Great Push]

after that the soldiers behind the mages were forced to cover their eyes with their hands because of the great wind ,but even so some were able to see what happened.

Even though they were prepared, they were taken aback by the scene in front of them.

After the mages finished casting their spells, a great wind came from their hands, pushing the boulder in front of them into the sky.

As all the mages did this at the same time, the sky above the orcs' heads suddenly became full of rocks, resembling a small sized meteor shower, despite the fact that it only fell from a height of 10 metres.

the plain that was previously occupied by the orcs become a hell for them as the boulders were falling at them,while some boulders sometimes clash with each other amd break ,thier shardes will stop the orcs from dodge hasty as some shards may shot to the eye

However, their caution often costs them their lives as when they are distracted by the shards, real boulders will flatten them.

The first shot of the mages killed over ten thousand of them, but that didn't break the orcs' will, assuming they even had one to begin with.

When they felt the mages' shots had stopped, they dashed towards the city gate to destroy it.

However, the mages would not allow them to do so easly as they prepared to fire the second and third shots, despite the fact that there was a delay between each shot even if it was only 10 seconds.

Despite the mages' three shots, more than 25,000 orcs survived and forced their way through the city gate.

After the city's gate was destroyed, orcs began to spread throughout the city.

Such a scene should have terrified the soldiers, but their expressions were complicated rather than fearful.

When all the orcs had passed through the city gate, earth mages who had been waiting for a long time jumped from the city wall with ropes around their waists.

their number exceeded a hundred, When their legs touched the ground, they did not wasted time as they immediately touch the ground with their hands and said

[combination earth magic : great earth wall]

After they said that, a massive earth wall rose from the ground and engulfed the location of the city gate.

The orcs inside the city, finding the situation strange, rushed up and attempted to destroy the wall, but failed miserably as the wall was several times stronger than the city gate they had previously destroyed.

The earth mages begin to climb the wall again with the help of the ropes, when they reached the top of the city wall, they discovered that the soldiers' faces were still complicated, with some even having red eyes.

until one of them couldn't stophimself from saying

"Do it quickly; now is not the time to be sad."

"But, but....this is where we used to live..."

it was already decided where the city people were going to resettle,but there was no way to heal those who lost thier homelands.

"shut up, do you think I don't know, do you think I'm not like you sad, I'm also reluctant to do that but it's the only option we have now, the city can be rebuilt later but life can't, so shut up and tell that brat over there to send the arrow "

A young man in the side whose hands were trembling as he held a bow and an arrow in his hand suddenly stopped trembling as he heard those words and with a look of resolve even though his eyes were crying.

"Goodbye Oakenburn," he said that as he lit a fire in the arrow then shot it through the bow in his hand towards a corner in the city .

a Hell of fire erupted in the city the moment the arrow tip struck the target.

Today, almost the entire city was filled with oil that was discovered in the castle of one of the noble merchants who left the city with Mayor Keith.

So the moment the fire in the arrow touched the oil, a chain reaction occurred, as the fire spread quickly from that point to the house next to it, then the next one, then... until almost all the houses in the city were on fire, killing a large number of orcs and injuring many more of them.

The orcs who could still fight realised they couldn't destroy the earth wall in a short period of time, so they fled to the other side of the city, where they saw another city gate.

the few thousands of orcs who have survived all run trying to break through the gate.

the gate couldn't withstand the orcs' combined force for long, which was expected as they were destroying the gate from inside the city , if they were a little more smarter they won't even need to use all that time to destroyed.

they would only need to open the door calmly but unfortunately for them they aren't that smart.

The soldiers didn't care about them during this entire process, as they went into a passage leading to the outside of the city in the mayor Keith's castle, which was still standing without being set on fire.

As they were doing so, the orcs finally broke through the gate and stepped outside the city, while feeling relieved that they had survived the hell that lay behind them.

Their joy was short-lived, however, as they noticed a dark shadow approaching them.

When the shadow was a few metres away, they discovered that it was only a frail one-armed human.

that make them looking down on him.

leo put strength in his right leg,the spear in his hands forward then charged toward the orcs ,as his leg left the ground some small cracks spread in it while leo moved forward like a bull not carring about anything.

the spearhead directly stabbed the hearts of three of the orcs who were standing in one line before they realised what leo had done

but leo's charge effect didn't stop at that as all the 20+ orcs that we surrounding him were sent flying in the sky from the power of his charge

After retrieving his spear from the bodies of the three orcs, he swung it again, killing the orcs who approached him, killing and killing and killing until a small mountain of orcs corpses surrounded him, only then did Leo hear the sound of the soilders behind him.

"you guys are slow"

"you're the one who runs here leaving us behind"

"ahhh, it's just that it's been a long time since I moved my muscle, so I couldn't help but move faster"

"But weren't you always fighting in the Colosseum"

"hey, what are you talking about that can't even be called a proper warm-up, let alone a battle?"

"sorry, I'd like to comment on what you said but I'm speechless."

"Ahhahahhahha" as Leo laughed a little while still harvesting the orcs' lives.

he suddenly amplify his voice and said

"men,don't fight hard against the orcs,just force them to return to the city, the fire would not let them live for long,if you can kill them that would be better,if not don't be brave,be a coward and live for your family,friends, and yourself as well,don't go around running after such a wortless glory your death will sadden a lot, will also destroy a lot of families so i beg of you not to be hasty,don't let your passion for battle take over your reason ,control it instead"

'If the earth mages hadn't run out of mana, I would have told them to build a wall that would keep the orcs from coming outside the city, but that would put them at risk of fleeing through the other gate or from some wall, as even though the earth wall is strong, it could only hold for less than a few minutes if the orcs put all their strength into destroying it,' leo though as he said

"did you hear me guys?"

"""""""""""yes sir """"""""""

After hearing their response, Leo rose to the top of the orc's corpse hill and looked around the battlefield. If he saw someone in danger, he would rush to their aid, though this was rare.

Then, in no time , an hour had passed, and the battle had ended with the defenders of Oakenburn victorious.
