Enemy Convoy!

Noon, a big convoy is traveling on the grassy ground of a vast grassland, the convoy consisted of heavily armored carriages, armored warhorses, and huge heavy beasts. The beast looked like a bison but bigger than an elephant, it had thick skin and strong legs, despite its size it had no trouble catching up with the horses and the carriages.

Its big muscle and strong jaw make people who see them anxious, this is the Dreadstep Vilebeast, on top of this beast is a knight, wielding what seems like an incredibly long guan dao, the handle is so long that the blade almost touches the ground, one look at these units and one would tremble in fear.

The ground shook with each step the beast make, disturbing the tempo of the troop's heartbeat, this excites them and raises their morale, the noise, and the tremor of the ground make it sound like battle drums.

The heavily armored carriages are covered with spikes and protected by heavily armored longbow units with deadly precision positioned on the rooftop of the carriages. while the heavily armored warhorses are seated by heavy-armored knights wielding a huge lance pointing straight to the sky.

the lead unit is consist of meridian cultivator on top of a magical horse that releases an aura of Qi which will increase the effectiveness of Qi user around it. in their hand is a circular mirror with a golden frame, the mirror looks like a protruding clear blue orb, that will reflect images like water.

This mirror is known as Brimstone Mirror, known for its ability to defend and to some extent reflected an attack, the Brimstone mirror is very valuable, each of them could cost 5.000 gold each, one would know that the army is serious when they brought the Brimstone Mirror with them.

In the very center of the Convoy is a Golden and majestic carriage, the carriage is made out of gold, this is not ordinary gold, but ornate gold, known for its defense ability against physical attack, although it is weak against magical spells, it doesn't mean anyone can destroy it with a magic spell, because the ornate gold is at least 10 times harder than the armor used by the Dreadstep Vilebeast.

Inside the carriage is a middle-aged man with an aura of wisdom oozing out of him, seated around him is the capable general that has accompanied him through countless battles and wars.

The man with an aura of wisdom is of course the bloody Azor, the man who hungry for victory, Azor loves it when he goes to war and he fears nothing, even death, the only thing he's afraid of is that if he is unable to go to war, that's why he is willing to lead an army of 1000 just to conquer Xiangwei.

He is afraid that if he has no war to fight his sense would dull and his skill would rust, so if there is a war to fight no matter how insignificant the war is, Azor would be the one who leads the army.

"What about the spy?" Azor asks casually eyes caged forward

At his level, he doesn't need to speak arrogantly so people would respect him, just his aura alone would make people listen to him, not to mention these generals have fought alongside him for years." We told the enemy spy to convey a message so that the enemy would be unable to prepare." one of the generals said.

"What do you think about the forthcoming battle?" Azor look at his loyal and capable subordinates that have served him for years.

"I think this battle would be equipment dependent battle and it will quickly end, but the war will be a prolonged one." one of the generals with a golden necklace said while the other still pondering about something

a man with a white eyebrow and white hair gazes towards the man with the golden necklace."What, do you think they will survive after this battle?"

Zileus hold the golden necklace in his hands and rub it with his fingers."None of our enemies will survive on this battle!"

Gerald frowns and stares at Zileus intensively."Then why did you say that the war will be a long one?"

The other generals also stop pondering and listen to their conversation with their arms folded across their chest, some put their elbow on the desk, and put their chin on their palm to listen to their conversation.

Zileus was slightly startled when he saw this and raise one eyebrow at them."Isn't simple? That's because the enemy still has other unit placed in other places, which mean the unit that we will fight is not their only unit"

A short man with a long wand on his waist, and beautiful sparkling eyes, gaze towards Zileus. "We told the spy to inform the enemy that there will be 20.000 troops coming for them, surely they will deploy every soldier they had to fight us, but we will crush them because they wouldn't expect we are fully prepared for their weapons if they don't fight us with full force, how could they have the hope to win?"

"The enemy had fought 10.000 troops from nova vox before, and they win in a landslide, this will make them confident in their weapons and so wouldn't use their full force to fight us!" Zileus stop rubbing his necklace and start tapping on it instead.

"Then why wouldn't you tell us earlier, if we know about it, we could make a tactic that will end this war once and for all!" Igrus glances toward zileus while frowning.

Zileus look at the short man and sneer."You talk like you are a strategist but all the war we won was because of the strategy our commander created!"

Igrus was embarrassed but he covers it with a furious expression."Zileus, I did not humiliate you today, did you try to pick a fight with me?"

Zileus look toward the short man and smirk in triumph."You might not have humiliated me today, but you do humiliate me yesterday, which means we are even now!" Igrus and Zileus stare at each other before they quarrel and spew embarrassing stuff they did in the past.

Gerald rolls his eyes when he sees them quarrel instead of discussing strategies of war, he glances towards a man with a smiling mask planted on his face."Karolus, what do you think?"

Karolus had his arms folded across his chest and stare down towards the table in front of him, he wears a smiling mask made out of steel, the mask had no hole, it only had 3 dark spots for the eyes and the smiling mouth, with 2 horn protruding on the forehead, the mask exuded a sinister aura that is contained within the mask.

He wears light armor made out of steel and had 2 sharp blades on his back, one look and one would know that this guy is an assassin.

Karolus the Smiling Demons, known for his assassination ability, was famous throughout the empire for his killing of various leaders, general, and even emperor of a nation.

Legend says that he is unable to take off his mask because the mask is cursed and he is forced to kill people or he will be consumed by the mask.

He has many nicknames, like, The silent killer, The Smiling Killer, and Nightmare but people mostly known him as The Smiling Demons.

Karolus keep his silence as a response to Gerald's question. Gerald knows that Karolus would stay quiet so he isn't disappointed or offended by it. "Fat Rhino, what about you, what do you think about this?"

"Stop calling me Fat Rhino!" Ebbar stared irritatedly towards Gerald."It doesn't matter if the enemy still has other forces, what matters is that we will crush them, and take their city as ours, so stop asking questions, you make yourself look like a child!"

Ebbar was the one who leads the Dreadstep Vilebeast, he is known to be rash and violent but that's exactly what the unit needs, all the unit needs to do is rush forward and step on the enemy which is what Ebbar love to see.

Ebbar wears thick ornate gold armor, he also has a helmet which he put on the desk in front of him, the helmet is also made out of ornate gold, he has a thick mustache and bulging belly.

Gerald leans on his chair, puts both of his hands behind his head, and puts his leg on the desk like he was on a beach."Bah, you guys are no fun, Am I the only one that actually contributing to the army?" Gerald closed his eyes for a moment before he opens them in panic, put down his leg, and sit straight on the chair.

He looks towards Azor respectively."I mean, except the commander did any of you contribute something to the army?!"

Everyone except Igrus and Zileus which still quarreling with each other stares towards Gerald weirdly, even Karolus stares at him.

Gerald had a serious expression on his face, he looks straight, ignoring the weird gaze everyone gave him.

"That's enough, I expect you all to be in a constructive discussion, but what I see is just a bunch of children. You are all great fighters but you also need a strategy to fight a war!" Azor waves his hands to calm the situation.

"I still remember that time when you suppose to ambush the enemy, but your stupid necklace got stuck on the tree branch which alarms the enemy!" Igrus pointed towards Zileus face and his mouth rains saliva towards Zileus.

Zileus wipe his face and spit towards Igrus. "Well I still remember you were supposed to grab the PrismCrystal that I throw towards you, but you were unable to grab it because you aren't tall enough, haha!"

Igrus gritted his teeth and stares hatefully towards Zileus."How dare you recall that again, that was a few years ago, I've grown taller ever since!!"

Zileus Smirks."Haha, Don't let the thickness of your shoes fool you Igrus, you never grew taller and you never will!"

Igrus gritted his teeth, take out his wand, and pointed it towards Zileus. Zileus also holds his necklace and pointed it towards Igrus.

"Say that again and I'll burn you to dust!!" Igrus was very mad because Zileus just stab his sensitive spot.

Zileus sneer."Do you think I'm scared? Let's see if your short hands can even touch my armor!!"

Igrus stares towards Zileus viciously."You piece of s**t!" suddenly stars appear inside the rooms, the stars are tiny like dust, they are twinkling and shining like stars in the sky, the stars then start swirling towards Zileus.

Zileus react quickly and his necklace shine before a resplendent light shoot towards Igrus.
