Seeing so many soldiers coming to them, the fort definitely notices. An alarm was sounded coming from the fort, and certainly they are now aware of the siege happening.
Beforelong, the giant cannons on top of the fort walls are being aimed at us, but they only have a certain range. We were told to stop right before we entered the cannon range, and have Felicia walk to the castle by herself.
After walking for a while, we are now at the cannon maximum range. The cannons won't be able to reach us here, so we decided to stop marching. Felicia, however, kept on approaching the door to the castle on her own.
Seeing that a single opponent is approaching the castle, the fort guesses that the army wants to take a discussion approach. As such, they sent a single soldier out from the front gate. The front gate was closed back after the soldier came out, and the poor soldier they sent is just walking to Felicia with fear.
"H-Halt!" The poor soldier shouted to the dark knight from afar, but the dark knight kept on marching. "State your business before Fort Kaos!"
The knight is being ignored, and the dark knight only gets closer. And once she is close enough, Felicia's footsteps become faster. It didn't take long before she started sprinting, and contrary to what everyone expected, she just ran past the poor soldier.
"W-What…?" The soldier that was so afraid only turned around, watching as the dark knight rushed to the large double door of the castle.
And once she gets close enough, she charges her sword. The black sword gets powerfully enchanted with dark flames, and the powerful energy it is emitting melted all the snow around her as she ran. As soon as she was within range, she swung her sword twice forward, releasing two fire waves made of dark flames.
BOOOMMM!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!
The sword slashes destroyed the entire front gate, all the way to the wall above the doors. It was so powerful that the entire castle shook, and all the knights within the castle started attacking.
"FIRE!!!!!!" The fort commander shouted, and the cannons were all aimed at the dark knight. But before they could get shot, multiple bright lights came down from the skies.
BAAARRR!!!!!!
BAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
All the cannons on top of the walls were destroyed instantly, not allowed to shoot at all. From above, multiple Steelbirds were found flying not far from the castle, and the hatch was opened with multiple soldiers shooting from it. Fireballs, water blasts, and even large earth boulders were dropped to the top of the walls, taking down any ranged knights that were operating the cannons.
And with the cannons down, the ground soldiers can now march forward.
"ATTAAACCCKKK!!!!!" The first division commander of Fiordall shouted aloud, and all the soldiers cried the same way.
"""HUUOOOOO!!!!!!!!!""" The combined soldiers of the first division shouted as they marched forward. Their footsteps as they ran shook the snowy field, and it didn't take long until they arrive on the castle area.
Meanwhile, at the back of the castle, another source of explosion occurred. A powerful rock meteor was fired to the walls on the back, taking down a portion of the wall like paper.
The person who fired it was none other than the vice general Evan of the earth nation. And with him is the entire second unit of the first division, ready to pinch the enemies from behind.
Fighting on the front lawn of the castle, the dark knight alone was more than enough to take down tens of soldiers that were occupying the fort.
But, the enemy bosses aren't going to just watch while she slaughter their henchmen.
"Look who has arrived! It's the great dark knight of Fiordall!" From above, a knight greeted Felicia from on top of the castle entrance.
The dark knight turned her cold glare to the enemies above the entrance, and three knights wearing three different armor colors are staring down at her. The brown knight, the light blue knight, and the purple knight. All of them emit different auras, and most likely use different origins as well.
They are the elites of the dark republic. The ten commanders.
Seeing that the enemy elites had appeared, Felicia turned around and started following the plan. She rushed away from the castle with the intention of pulling the enemies away. She went back the path she came from, but before she got far, a massive boulder was lifted on top of her.
"You're not going anywhere!!" The brown knight shouted as he dropped the giant boulder to Felicia, and the dark knight only flipped her body to swing the sword.
ZRIIINNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
In an instant, the giant boulder was sliced in half, surprising the earth origin brown knight.
"W-What!?" The brown knight shouted as he landed on the ground, and Felicia continued her escape. And while he was keeping an eye on the escaping dark knight, a lightning strike flew past him towards the dark knight.
BAAARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
The lightning strike zapped exactly where the dark knight was standing, and it exploded powerfully. The dark knight jumped out of the smoke after the lightning exploded, and she turned her attention fully to the three knights approaching her from the castle.
Another attack came from the top, and Felicia quickly turned her attention to it. Piercing the smoke rising to the skies is the purple armored knight, and they are holding a very large scythe.
"Die!!!" The purple armored knight shouted with her loud screeching voice, and she swung the black scythe forward.
BAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!
The scythe only smacked the ground because Felicia managed to dodge, but the explosion caused by the darkness origin shots hundreds of black particles all over the place.
Unlike what she expected, her armor still got crazed, even though the black scythe never touched her. Felicia jumped even further knowing that the darkness origin is dangerous, and the purple knight was about to chase.
A water blast then came from behind Felicia and attacked the purple knight, and the darkness origin knight got pushed back. The light blue knight and the brown knight have arrived to support her, but Felicia's backup has also arrived.
Standing surrounding her are the students of the academy. Nyssa, Jonah, Lily and I stood next to Felicia, keeping an eye on the three elite enemies.
"Thanks for holding out, Felicia!" Lily said to the dark knight, and it does sound like Felicia did her best to stay alive there.
"Yeah… thank you." She said while catching her breath, and everyone noticed how tired she was.
"Hey! Isn't this amount unfair!? It's three against five!" The light blue knight shouted at us, but we ignored him completely.
Felicia lifted her left hand and spoke to it, reporting to the base about our situation. But unlike what we expected, the base returned us with other information. For a while, Felicia listened in to the communication sent by the base, and she relayed them to us after listening to everything.
"Lily, Nyssa, can you two go to the back side of the fort?" Felicia said to Lily and Nyssa, and we all only turned confused at her.
"W-What is it?" Lily asked out of confusion, and Felicia kept her gaze to the back of the castle.
"The red knight is in the back of the castle. He is making a mess of the second unit." Felicia said coldly, and we all noticed just how bad the situation was.
"Hahah! You guys made a mistake by over stacking your men here! That red knight is 'Seven'! We are 'Eight', 'Nine', and 'Ten'! Those guys at the back of the castle is pretty much dead!" The light blue knight who calls himself 'Eight' said to us proudly, and we all gritted our teeth.
"Okay! We'll go--"
"No. I'll go." I said to cut off Lily, and everyone turned their attention to me.
"What? Are you doubting me? I can take on all three of these idiots if I have to." I said how I honestly feel, and my friends just looked so confused.
"Then, we'll leave it to you." Felicia said to me, which confused the other three.
"H-Hold on! We can't have him go alone!?" Jonah shouted from concern, but Felicia just laughed.
"Didn't you guys say this guy is the first ranked in the academy? Besides, he told me about his two origins. I think he can manage himself." Felicia said, and she really had to use that argument against them.
The three of them quickly turned to me with annoyance, and I can tell why they are so pissed.
"Oh, yeah. He had two origins." Lily mumbled, and Jonah agreed.
"Just get it over with and come help us out over here, yeah?" Jonah said with a condescending tone.
"Hmm. Hmm." Meanwhile, Nyssa is just humming.
"Are you guys even encouraging me, right now?" I asked them if they are serious, but it seems like they are.
"Done talking?"
A voice was heard aloud in front of us, and a large boulder was sent flying at our position. Seeing the attack coming, Jonah quickly slammed the ground and created a massive earth wall.
BAARRRR!!!!!!!
The earth boulder slammed the wall into pieces, but the boulder never arrived to our faces. Instead, the wind around us turned heavy, and all the rock pieces flying around us turned in the direction of the knights.
VWOOOSSSSSHHH!!!!!!!!!
All the rock pieces that got destroyed were sent flying to the three knights, and the purple knight moved in front of the other two to swing her scythe. And in just one swing, she deleted the incoming rocks.
VWUUNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!
All the rocks that were flying to them disintegrated into sand, stopping them from touching the knights. The purple knight placed her scythe on her shoulder and laughed.
"Haha! Looks like these children are special!" The purple knight shouted, and the other knights seemed to agree.
"Go, Eric. We got this part." Lily said confidently, and I can see her hair turning dark blue.
Not just her, Jonah and Nyssa also activated their Limit Break phases. Seeing that these guys have decided to get serious right off the bat, I guess it's safe to say that this side is pretty much our win.
"All right. I'll leave it to you guys." I said before turning my focus to the northern side of the castle, and I activated my lightning movement.
BZZTTTT!!!!!!!!
Very quickly, I disappeared like lightning.
