Bombardment!

Dawn, inside the camp of Azor's army a man with green hair, green-emerald eyes, and Grecian nose is currently resting inside his tent, but he still has his eyes wide open, with red swollen eyes, hanging eyelids, and dark circles under his eyes, he looks dead tired even though he is laying his body since last night and close his eyes, he still can't fall asleep with all the explosion going in the camp.

He is Emeric, one of the captains of the Javelin unit under the direct command of general Gerald which is the subordinate of commander Azor.

He can feel the air start to warm as the sun rises to the sky, pushing away the cold of the night, the morning breeze which is so comfortable enter his tent as they slid to the small holes in the tent, this makes him sleepy which he already is and slowly he started to close his eyes to get some sleep.

Ting! Ting! Ting! "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" a shoulder running around the camp with a sleep deprivation complexion on his face, shouted to warn his comrades for enemy troops. To be honest, he doesn't care about the enemy, he just wanted some sleep so after he completes his task of warning his comrade, he falls to the ground and sleeps with the bell he uses to warn his comrade beside him.

Emeric closed eyes open up suddenly in response to the noise and he opens the tent flap to see outside."I really need some sleep" he said before preparing his gear.

The other sleeping soldier woke up with their eyelids hanging low like a necklace, they open their tent flap and narrowed their eyes as they try to adjust their eyes to the sun. "Wake up soldiers! There is an enemy to kill and battles to win, don't let tiredness be a weakness that your enemies could exploit!" Gerald said as he rides his horses to increase morale.

"That's right, don't shame the Aegexor name just because you feel tired, wake up and fight!" Behind Gerald are the senior soldiers of Aegexor, they don't feel tired as they are already used in this kind of situation, like their commander, they also try to increase the soldier's morale.

The sleep-deprived soldiers groan as they force themself to move and prepare for battle, they try to move like disciplined soldiers but they look like a person who just got out of a bar after a heavy drinking session.

Sigh, Gerald can only shake his head in disappointment after he sees how weak they are in this situation."Stop your act of being weak and use tiredness as an excuses, I know that you have it in you, push the cold of the night and embrace the energy the rising sun gives to you, for Aegexor!" Gerald raises his sword to the sky.

"For aegexor!" his men behind him brandished their swords as they shouted.

Hearing this the soldiers started feeling the heat in their chest that seems to give them energy and power, this makes them go to a frenzy and they quickly prepared for battle, like an army that can't wait to kill their enemy, they heavily marched and form a line, with their eyes caged forward and chest breathing up and down as they are impatience to kill their enemies and get some sleep.

Gerald nods in satisfaction when he saw this, he glances towards Igrus and nods towards him."You can fix them now!"

Igrus sigh before he pointed his wands towards the soldiers"Revitalized!" immediately after a green and golden Qi encircle the tired men as their complexion get better and better and their stamina increased to the max.

The soldier looks like they just brought back to life, as they are brimming with life energy, the bags and dark circle under their eyes are gone, replacing them is a sharp eye and a tyrannical complexion.

"March to the east!" Gerald commanded his army before kicking his horse to ride towards the destination.

The horses gallop and the infantry stomp the earth as they march, grasses sway as the morning breeze blow them bringing fresh air for the soldier as they advance, after a while, they finally see their enemy in the distance, Gerald brings more than a thousand man for his advance yet the enemy was only 5, yes only 5.

Ignacio and his unit are currently setting up their mortar on a small hill in the vast plain, they have read the instruction on how to use the mortar and have done some simulation last night, now they are ready to confront their enemy, they have heard the gallop of the horses and the stomp of the marching infantry, they look into the distance to see horses gallop towards them and know that it is time.

"Prepare for battle!" Ignacio said to his men before he adjusts his mortar to the maximum distance.

Gerald seeing that the enemy has the guts to confront him with 5 people, is furious."Are they mocking me? Humph, so be it then, Charge!" Gerald commanded his army to charge towards the enemy while he stays on the back, there is no fun killing 5 people he thought so he let his men do it for him.

The horses in the lead, charge forwards, with the soldier on top of them have longbows in their hand, they use longbows since the enemy can shoot them from far away and no meridian cultivator to cover fire for them, this is because Azor's army is planning to advance to confront Jin Sung and let Gerald take care of the situation here of which he would regroup with Azor when he did.

The cavalry still didn't draw their bows as the distance is too far for them to shoot, they distance themself to make it harder for the enemy to shoot them, but because it is not very effective they didn't distance themself too much.

Ignacio glance at the enemy cavalry before telling his men to fire when he saw them enter the mortar firing range."Fire!" His men grab a shell by their side and put it in the barrel of their mortar, Thud! The mortars fired their shell into the sky.

The cavalrymen didn't know what the enemy was doing and continue their charges, suddenly they heard the wind hiss and shells landed near them before it explodes and knocks them into the distance, the cavalry that didn't get hit by the explosion was thunderstruck. "Disperse!" Seeing that his men panic, the captain of the cavalry unit takes control of the situation.

The cavalrymen started distancing themself from each other, once again the wind hiss as 5 shells falling from the sky towards them, the captain draws his bows and shoot an arrow towards the shell, the arrow hiss as it penetrates the air and flying towards the sky before hitting the shells and Boom! The shells explode in mid-air as shrapnels fall on the cavalry at high speed which penetrates their helmet.

The other shells landed on the ground and explode which kills more than 20 cavalries at once with each shell, The captain had a grim look on his face. "Shoot the object in the air before it lands!" The captain ordered his men before he aims towards the sky as more and more shells continue to rains towards them.

The cavalry draw their bows as they advance and shoot towards the shells, more and more shells explode in mid-air but the shrapnel still able to kill the cavalrymen on the ground, but what terrifying is that more and more shells started falling from the sky, with 19 shells per minute rate each mortar can fire, the sky looks like it would be filled shells before it landed and pain the ground with explosion and dead bodies.

Aaugh! The cavalrymen groan as they knock to the sky by the explosion and their bodies penetrated by the shrapnels, which put holes in their bodies. The captain gritted his teeth and his eyes caged towards the 5 men on top of a small hill putting shells into their mortar."Disperse yourself further and charge towards the enemy as fast as you can, we would be able to shoot them with our bows when we get near enough!" the captain kicks his horse as he rides it to speed up towards the enemy.

The captain knows that the longer they take to kill the enemy, the more casualties he would have on his side and so he decided to charge forward as fast as he can. His men also start speeding up their horses after seeing their captain speed up.

Hiss! The shells hiss as they penetrated the air Boom! Badaboom! Baroo! Mortar Shells explodes and rain on the cavalry as they gritted their teeth and charged forward as fast as they can, casualties are increasing every second and their comrade continues to die by the explosion and the shrapnel of the mortar shell.

This makes them afraid that they will be the next one to be killed, but even so, they gritted their teeth and let the cold sweat of fear trickle down from their temple.

After a while, the cavalrymen realizes that they have no chance of winning at all because they are still far away from the enemy, the mortar has a maximum range of 3,490m and that will take a while for their horses to arrive especially since their horses are equipped with heavy armor and the cavalrymen also wear heavy armor which makes the horses slower.

The captain also realizes this problem but if he told his men to throw their armor, that would make the shrapnel easier to kill them, but something has to be done or they would be decimated by the enemy, with that thought in his mind, the captain quickly take off his armor and throw it, roars of explosions still reverberated in the air as shrapnels and shockwaves continue to kill the cavalrymen.

The captain bare naked with nothing but a loincloth to cover his private parts kick his horse again to speed up and this time the horses comply with a higher speed than before. Because the weight the horse had to hold is reduced the horse can run faster and faster.

The captain was in satisfaction but he does not have the time to celebrate as shells explode near him which shoot shrapnel towards him, the shrapnel penetrated his bodies and blood start oozing out of his wound which makes him look like he just took a shower with blood, but the captain still has his eyes caged towards the enemy even when his blood trickle down to his eyes from his forehead.

His men were awed by the captain's bravery and determination to kill the enemy." We can't let our captain too far away from us, let's throw our armor and follow him!" one of the cavalrymen said before he throws his armor and sped up to catch up to his captain, the other cavalrymen also follow suit after they throw their armor and ride their horses with nothing but a loincloth.
