With a gigantic sword almost bigger than her pointing towards the approaching warships, Diane shouted out loud "FIRE!!!"
Out from nowhere, big massive machine with large turrets that were aimed at the aerial warships started shooting at the call of the battle master. The rotating top kept a lock on the approaching 'to be' assailants.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The enchanted machines kept firing from a distance hitting their mark on point,the long-ranged weapons were powerful technological machines built for assaulting targets from afar,with auto-aim that would keep a target locked on,and powerful armor-piercing projectiles that would damage the enemies shield or defense system. The Ballister was one of the technological weapons the elves were proud of,it always left it marks on battlefields, terrifying their opponents.
As the projectiles kept hitting the warships from afar,the orcs increased the magical defense of the ship to it's maximum point,as they didn't have any long ranged weapons apart from the traditional bow and arrow,the ships started glowing bright white light as 80% of the ship's energy reserve was directed to the defense system ,but as the projectiles made impact with the ship,they began exploding on point rendering the ship's defense useless as they couldn't remain stable in air. These made the orc king decide to land a few thousand meters from the elven kingdom before those terrifying bullets shot them off the sky.
This gave the elven warriors who were witnessing this at the back high morale,they undoubtedly made the orcs warship crash into the ground without any casualties. This was a first small victory anyhow you looked at it. The battle master on the other hand didn't rejoice in any way,there were definitely no demons on those ships....why didn't they attack together? This worried the calm battle maniac internally. 'did they think only the orcs could overpower them,no... the foretold disaster was something that was way more difficult than any wars the elves faced...the demons were definitely planning something, perhaps a tactic to wear down our strength before attacking?' she thought.
The grounded orcs, though a bit disorientated, continued matching towards the elves with vigor and might to finally destroy their long fated enemies. The shamans were in the middle of the thousand men army casting buff spells on their warriors
Diane, though restless,took charge once again and called out "ARCHERS READY!" a group of about two hundred elves stepped forward positioning themselves at the very front of the elven army pointing their bow-like guns towards the direction the orcs were to appear. They could feel the earth vibrating beneath them as hundreds of warrior orcs made their way towards them howling like savage beasts. Bursting through the woods ,the orcs ugly green faces were already red with rage as they made their way even faster after sighting their opponents.
"FIRE!" another order was issued,but this time the orcs seemed prepared as they lifted a small metal shield in front of their upper bodies,the archers started shooting immediately but the arrow bullets weren't as effective as the Ballister as the orcs were able to deflect this bullet almost easily, what the orcs didn't expect was the arrow-like bullet to suddenly start exploding with a poisonous green-black gas. This turn of events made the orcs scream in agony,they haven't even killed one damn elf yet....this was unacceptable to the orc king's pride,it was a total disgrace to him.
ROAR!!!!
With a beastly howl,the orc king stepped forward catching three arrows singlehandedly, looking towards his enemies he threw it back with such force that it went five times faster than it was shot.
BENG!
"Ahh" "help"
The arrows exploded amidst the elven archers causing the first casualties on the elves part as they panicked. "Orc shamans, poison resistance!" The king shouted to the shamans who kept tossing their spells around.
"ROAR!!!!!" bombarding the orc warriors with their 'gods blessing' spells,the orcs recovered their strengths and went on to finally fight the elves in close combat.
Diane watching all these, gave the order for the archers to retreat and sent the injured to the healers amidst their ranks. "Warriors" she shouted, stepping forth herself as the lead, she made eye-contact with her adversaries and with a leap,the battle finally started in full. "FOR THE ELVES!!!" The elven warriors shouted behind her as they also lunged at their selected opponents.
Slash
Slash
Slash
The only way to describe the war scene was 'absolute brutality',the orcs were hacking away at the lean elves ,some who had enough agility to dodge likewise the elves as they slashed at the robust orcs giving them critical damage before killing them, but it was obvious who had the upper hands as the orcs needed two to three elves to take one of them down. If this continued,the elves were going to have more casualties than they thought.
On the battle master's side though,the orcs were like butter to her hot knife,before the orc warriors could register the beautiful woman's movements,their heads were already sent flying in different directions,blood splattering all over the battlefield without staining the battle maniac , this made her even more dazzling like a holy knight as she continued executing the orcs as if they were fish on a chopping board.
'hmm?'
The orc king couldn't help but notice the dazzling maiden warrior as she kept fighting with precise movements and style, beheading his men like cutting grass,but instead of appreciating this beautiful art work,he got even redder.
"This bitch!" He growled in frustration. The amount of orcs she was killing was way more than the orcs were killing the elves even with their great physical strength advantage. Annoyed beyond words,he made his way towards her, killing any elf that dared to cross his path
The battle master filling the heavy killing intent directed towards her paused and turned towards it source, a strong orc, perhaps the strongest she had ever faced. The excitement within her which was suppressed with worry now bubbled out with new vigor
A perfect opponent finally appeared,the ORC King himself.
