'Clang, clang, clang' the sound of metal hitting against metal thundered."Enemy attack from the rear!" the soldiers shouted to the lead unit, hoping for them to stop and turn, the soldiers turn to see the enemy but what they see is only hails of bullets, there is no enemy in their sight, the sources of the bullet are invisible as it moves around, and the distance doesn't help the troops to locate the attacker. Igrus stand on top of his mount to get a better view, still, he couldn't see the enemy, as the bullets continue to shoot towards them, casualties started occurring as bullets found their way into the soldier's unprotected joints and eyes, Igrus watch as his soldiers die and his face turn to a deadly frown, he took out his wand and pointed towards the soldiers."Revitalize, Arcane Armor, Flash Of Healing" 2 golden light showered the soldier, healing them almost instantly as purple light enclosing on them and creates a purple arcane armor that protected the soldiers from the hail of bullets. The soldier was healed and revitalized, their energy surges passed the maximum threshold of their body which make them healthy and strong, they stand to their feet, inspect their body and found that they are stronger than ever, this raises their morale and confidence in the army, Igrus glance towards the hail of bullets, pointed his wand to the front." Barrier Of Demonic Pacts!" suddenly demonic energy circulate in the air before it condensed in front of the soldier to turn into a wall of demonic energy, the bullets that hit the wall were stuck inside, the wall is transparent so as time passed, the soldiers can see that the wall is so full of bullets that it almost blocks their vision. Then an invisible Ultrasonic wave surges towards the soldiers, the soldiers turn green as their internal organs were cooked, their ears ringing and their minds feel like spinning, it was an uncomfortable sensation, Igrus had an ugly look on his face when he saw this."Such a powerful sound spell! So this is what the commander told me about, but there is no Qi influx in the surrounding, so this is unlikely to be a spell!" Igrus was confused as he couldn't find anything to locate the enemy, then a realization shot him.'This is not a spell but a device that can create an ultrasonic wave! How terrifying is this craftsman be, to be able to create such a high-level device!' Igrus thought. "Igrus, stop daydreaming for a second and stop the freaking soundwave!" a hoarse voice shouted towards him, it was Ebbar. Igrus did not respond to Ebbar instead he pointed his wand towards the sky."Deflection Of sound!" a transparent light wrap the soldiers as their pain subsided, the ultrasonic waves were deflected and only a little of them penetrates through the light. Igrus continues to point his wand to the sky."Runes Of Demonic Sight" Suddenly demonic runes come out of the wand which shoots towards the sky as it condensed into a huge demonic eye that seems to be able to pierce your soul, the stars in Igrus eyes grew as he smirks in confidence."Synchronize Sight!" Suddenly everyone becomes tensed for a second before their body jolted and in their black pupil appear tiny stars."Kill the enemy!" Igrus shouted before he chants several spells towards the enemy. With the synchronize sight the soldiers can see the enemy that the eye demon observes, the soldiers take their arms and charge towards the enemy after the demonic wall crumbles into dust."Kill, kill, kill!" The soldier charged with their mounts, some rushed with their feet as their mounts got killed by bullets, with support spells from Igrus the soldier bravely charge forward Ignoring the bullets that tearing their armor, The armored carriage also supported the charge by shooting arrows and spells like fireball, poison rain, flash of healing and wind of swift. The bullets that shoot towards the charging troops start to reduce as spells keep bombarding the enemy. Ignacio and his unit were shocked by the enemy's capabilities, they never thought that their invisibilities would become useless because of the demon eye, but most importantly they never thought that the enemy soldier would fight so strongly, as the spells keep bombarding their position and arrows fall like rains towards them, casualties rise and Ignacio must be forced to retreat."Retreat to the tunnels!" Ignacio dash towards the tunnel entrance hurriedly to dodge the bombardment of spells and arrows. The soldiers stop shooting the enemy and dash towards the nearby tunnels, the grasses were scorching with flame and so does the forest, their vision was obscured by the smoke and flame but they have to go through it or they would be killed by the enemy, the sound of the enemy troops bombarding them with spells is still rapidly rumbled in their ears as a reminder of their existence, burned smell penetrated their nose and burned corpse was lying on the ground as their comrades were unlucky enough to get hit by the spell. Azor's warhorse unit still charging towards the enemy, more specifically towards the blazing flame, but weirdly as the unit push through the flame, the flame moves to the side giving way to the unit like peasants who move aside when the king walks through them, without the flame to hinder their charge the unit move fast and agile as their lance pointed forward to impale the enemy, finally after a while the enemy is in their sight and their lance gleam with sharpness as preparation to impale their enemy. The fleeing soldier turns their head to see the incoming troops only to be greeted by a huge lance to their face. "Don't turn your head and keep running!" one of the fleeing soldiers shouted towards his comrade before he got impaled from the back and through his heart, the remaining soldiers flee with their life on the line, they can't afford to mourn their dead comrade as the enemy soldier still charging towards them with a huge lance. "Surrender or die!" the lead unit of the charging troops shouted, this was an order from Azor that he gave in advance to his army, to get more information about the enemy, he needs to capture the enemy, hearing this the fleeing soldier flinch as they keep running, but in their minds were hesitation as the offer was so alluring, what they were given was an option, live or die but they still hesitate because Jin Sung had made a speech to the army about tactic and strategy, one of them was to make the enemy surrender and gain information before killing them, they were hesitating to surrender because they were afraid that they would be killed after they gave the information. Reminded of this the fleeing soldier run faster and faster, the warhorse unit was confused when they see their enemy run faster than before.'shouldn't they choose to surrender, Why are they running faster instead?' they look towards each other only to see the same confused expression as they had. "So you've chosen death, Kill them" The warhorse unit kick their horses to make them run faster, and they hunched their body as they point their lance towards the enemy, their lance were getting closer inch by inch making the fleeing soldier have cold sweat trickling down behind their head, one of them finally can't stand it and gritted his teeth."I have enough of this s**t!" He grabs his firearm from his back, turns around, and shoot towards one of the soldiers mounted on his warhorse, his firearms roar as bullets shot towards the enemy's face, the bullets penetrated the helmet as blood spurt from the wounds but his victory didn't last long as the lance wielded by the enemy impale him in the face, they both die a tragic death, but their comrades didn't have time to take a glance as their focus were on fleeing or chasing. The fleeing soldier was finally able to enter the forest, earlier because of Ignacio's command they have to dash around on the plain to confuse the enemy but that strategy backfires on them and they lose the protection from the forest, now that they can finally see trees and leaves although burned, smoked and the flame still blazing the trees, at least they know that they are inside the forest."Quick search the tunnel!" One of the fleeing soldiers said as their morale rose when they enter the forest, the warhorse unit charged were slowed down because of the trees obstructing their path, and they either have to jump over it or goes around it, if they use the Dreadstep Vilebeast then they can just ram through it. "Ditch your horses and use your swords, don't let them get away!" the leader of the unit commanded before he drops his lance, pull his sword from his waist and jump out of his mount, the other soldiers also followed suit as they follow their leader to chase the enemy, the enemy were blinded as their vision was obstructed by the thick smoke and the blazing flame, the fire roar as they continue to burn the forest and the tree branches were falling as the flame burn them, the wood pop, crackle and snap as it continues to burn, the fleeing soldier was having a hard time to find the way to the tunnel because of this, but the one who chases them do not have this problem, as long as the demonic still hover in the sky, Azor's army have a clear vision of their enemy and their comrade, this makes it easier to strike the enemy and avoid friendly fire. "The smoke can't hide your position so you better surrender yourself before we get to you, and we already ditch our horses so the forest can hinder us, it is only a matter of time before we get to you!" the leader of the unit exclaimed towards the fleeing soldiers, the fleeing soldiers also realize this fact then a realization struck them."Do they ditch their horses to chase us?" a soldier asked."Isn't that mean that we can..." they look towards each other, shock is planted on their faces."We surrender tell us your location!" a soldier shouted. Hearing this the leader of the warhorse unit was pleased."Just wait there, we're walking towards you!" he put his sword back to his waist, but doesn't let his men do the same, "kill them if they retaliate" he said to his men, he turns his head towards the direction of the enemy only to see a barrage of bullets shooting towards him and his men, their distance was quite close so the enemy can locate their position with the leader's response, and their range doesn't help them dodge the bullets, their armor might be heavy and thick but the same can't be said to their helmet, because if it were to be too heavy, they would die before the enemy could hurt them.
