Chapter 10 - Breaking the Wall

www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA6IVBtUx1w

In the midst of the battlefield, Elay slashes through and opponent before looking up and hearing the gates open. She then calls out to her allies. "The gates are open! This is our chance!"

Arc rides beside her and speaks. "Elay, focus on getting us through those doors. We don't need to fight everyone here. Once we get in, Kress can close the gate and the Opulentians will be stuck outside their own wall."

Elay nods. "Right."

As the gates open, however, two figures come walking out of it, clad in armor. One is a metal wall of a man, carrying a red spear at his side. The other looks to be on the younger side and wears golden armor, similar to Arc's. He unsheathes a rapier at his side and holds it out, red cape flowing behind him. "So...This is it..." He takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself. "I never thought we would be battling them like this. But here they are. Murus..."

Murus turns and gives him a serious look. "This is it. Your last chance to run. I won't hold it against you if you do."

He shakes his head. "No, I have to do this. I have to protect what I have left."

Murus smiles. "There's the Alexander I know. Now let's put that training to use. Show me what you've learned."

Elay gets a quick look around the battlefield. It looks like there's a couple of chests of to the sides, likely where the Opulentians keep equipment they might need to switch out with in a battle. There's likely good stuff in there, but the main focus here is getting everyone through those doors. That knight and the lord with him are blocking the way, so they'll have to be taken down before anyone can get through. Not to mention the walls of generals and cavalry in front of them. The mages and snipers off to the sides aren't in the way, but they'll definitely land some hits if they aren't dealt with quickly...

"Take out the archers and mages first!" Elay gives the command to her allies as she switches from Excalibur to her Rapier.

While the others begin charging forward, Vex simply stands back and takes out her Blizzard tome. "Now, now. Charging without cover fire is just poor form." She waves her hand in the air as a powerful wind begins to blow around one of the generals. Ice then blasts upwards, knocking them into the air before a large ice spear forms above and crashes down upon him, slamming him back into the ground. "Aww, disappointing. I thought we were going to actually have a challenge here."

General receives 26 damage 14/40 HP

Luna then rides forward, stopping not far from another enemy general. "Okay...I can do this." She takes out her new tome and raises a hand as the pages flip wildly. A thin beam of light falls down from above with two trailing lights spiraling around it. As it hits the general, a powerful burst of light flashes. Noticing the enemy still standing, Luna moves her hand once more, calling down another ray of light and finishing the enemy this time.

General receives 21 damage 19/40 HP

Darik runs up beside Luna quickly throwing out a cloud of dark magic at the enemy, which detonates in a dark blast. He quickly follows this up with another blast that takes out the enemy and places his tome away, stretching. "I'm just warming up."

General receives 25 damage 15/40 HP

With the generals out of the way, Arc, Gerand, and Kaiz move in to take out the Light Sages. Arc leads the charge, moving in with an attack from her Blessed Lance. However, her strike is calculated and dodged by the mage as he ducks out of the way. Swinging one arm back up at Arc, he causes a blast of light to launch up at her. Unable to dodge in time, Arc takes a hit. She grits her teeth from the heavy blow and swings once more at her enemy, this time landing a solid blow.

Miss! Light Sage receives no damage 24/24 HP

Arc receives 17 damage 11/28 HP

Light Sage receives 15 damage 9/24 HP

Gerand moves in to take out his own Light Sage, throwing a knife as he approaches. The sage is hit by the weak attack and retaliates by launching a blast of light toward Gerand. He's hit and winces a bit, but continues charging forward before running up and stabbing the sage directly.

Light Sage receives 5 damage 19/24 HP

Gerand receives 13 damage 12/25 HP

Light Sage receives 5 damage 14/24 HP

Kaiz then pulls back on his bow before releasing an arrow at another sage. He lands the hit perfectly on target, but the sage's attention is drawn toward him before he can fire his next arrow. They throw a well aimed light beam at him, knocking Kaiz off balance a bit. He catches himself, however, and fires one last arrow, striking them down. "This is getting rough..."

Light Sage receives 15 damage 9/24 HP

Kaiz receives 18 damage 6/24 HP

Light Sage receives 15 damage 0/24 HP

Lupis notices the struggling going on and quickly flies over on Kain, swooping down from above to strike at one of the Light Sages. He easily takes them down with one swing of his axe.

Light Sage receives 18 damage 0/24 HP

The other group advances on the right side of the field, being led by Elay. She runs in and holds her blade high. "For both Umbra and Sidhe!" She then leaps forward, landing a powerful combo of jabs and then slashing through the enemy's armor.

Critical Hit! General receives 54 damage 0/40 HP

Faron follows in after her, keeping his distance as he readies a spell. A blast of light is launched from his hand, quickly followed by another. Although the general is hit and badly damaged, he still stands after stumbling backward.

General receives 16 damage 24/40 HP

General receives 16 damage 8/40 HP

Canzar then rides in on her horse, snapping with a single hand as dark magic erupts forth, beneath the enemy. The darkness rises upwards into the air before crashing back down into them.

General receives 23 damage 17/40 HP

General receives 23 damage 0/40 HP

Seeing that the last general defending the Snipers hasn't yet been dealt with, Seraphim moves in with her lance in hand. "I'LL BREAK YOU IN HALF!" She slams her lance into the general, shattering their armor and taking them out.

Critical Hit! General receives 15 damage 0/40 HP

Leo then charges past her, eyes fixed on his target Sniper. "Easy prey!" He slams a powerful lion claw into them, taking them out with a large gash appearing in their chest.

Sniper receives 32 damage 0/25 HP

Garren then steps in after him and takes a heavy swing of his axe, landing a hit on the target, but not quite taking them out.

Sniper receives 9 damage 16/25 HP

The battle continues on as the enemies prepare their counter strike. The surviving Light Sage moves back and sets his sights on Arc. Firing another beam of light at her, she just barely manages to evade it. Arc lets out a relieved sigh as she does so. "That was close..."

Miss! Arc receives no damage 11/28 HP

Meanwhile, the surviving snipers take aim at those that attacked their guards. One moves in and aims directly at Elay. "Your march ends here!" He unleashes his shot, hitting Elay and causing her to stumble back slightly. She lets out a quick gasp of pain. The other sniper sets his sights on Canzar, preparing his bow. He lets loose his arrow and it lands a hit on her. However, instead of making any sound, Canzar simply turns her head toward the sniper and glares at him.

"You're wide open." She swipes her arm across as darkness envelops the enemy sniper, followed by multiple bursts of dark energy. As the darkness dissolves, there's nothing left of the sniper that was once there.

Critical Hit! Elay receives 15 damage 13/27 HP

As the snipers and sages finish attacking, the paladins come charging in on their horses, splitting up to take on both sides. One goes directly after Arc, swinging his sword at her. She turns and raises her arm, managing to block most of the blow with her gauntlet. Her horse then steps back as she spins her lance in one hand. "I will smite you!" She quickly rides forward and thrusts her lance through the paladin, tossing him off afterward.

Arc receives 1 damage 10/28 HP

The other Paladin moves toward Gerand, swinging his sword downward at him. He, however, manages to roll out of the way and dodge the attack before tossing a couple of knives at his attacker. Sadly, his strikes don't appear to do much with that armor.

Miss! Gerand receives no damage 12/25 HP

Paladin receives 3 damage 24/27 HP

Paladin receives 3 damage 21/27 HP

One of the Paladins split off and go after Elay, missing horribly as she rolls backward. She then lunges forward with her rapier before swinging it into the enemy once more and taking them down.

The other two Paladins both attempt to surround Elay, but Seraphim charges in by her side, shield in hand. She blocks one lance before knocking the other away with her own. She attempts to stab back at the Paladins, but the first one manages to maneuver his horse to the side and evade. The other takes a solid hit.

Critical Hit! Paladin receives 39 damage 0/27 HP

With the Paladins defeated, Darik moves forward and calls out to the Great Knights. "Hey, which one of you ordered the death? Was it you? You look kinda hungry." Picking his favorite Great Knight, Darik moves his hands, causing a dark blast around them, however, the enemy is still standing. "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you wanted more!"

Great Knight receives 27 damage 8/35 HP

Lupis flies in, stopping directly in front of one of the Great Knights. "Shizuka might not be here to see me knock you around, but that doesn't mean I won't do it." Lupis swings his axe into the Great Knight, landing a solid blow. The Great Knight tries to stab at him with his lance, but Kain sees the attack coming and flaps backward, out of the way.

Great Knight receives 12 damage 23/35 HP

Miss! Lupis receives no damage 30/30 HP

Leo then runs in, looking at his opponent. "Pfft, stupid Beorc. Having to hide under all that armor..." He knocks them off their horse easily with one claw. The Great Knight tries to fight back, but he steps on their lance and snaps it in two with the other paw. He then crushes the helmet with one more movement. "Booooringgg. I thought this was going to be hard."

Kaiz reaches level 2! Kaiz's Health, Skill, Speed, and Defense increase by 1!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Vex walks over to where Canzar is. "Don't worry, dear. I can handle this." She looks over at the sniper and pulls out her Arcthunder tome. "Don't worry, I'll make this quick." She makes a motion with her hand, pointing at the Sniper before a bolt of lightning crashes down into him, taking him out. "Told you~"

Sniper receives 29 damage 0/25 HP

Vex reaches level 14! Vex's Health, Strength, Magic, Speed, Luck, and Resistance increase by 1!

As the others finish off the remaining weakened enemies, those by the Great Knights prepare to defend against their counter attack. The Great Knight attacked by Darik focuses in on him and charges forward to strike. Darik, however, stands still before grabbing the lance with his hand and stopping it. "Hahaha! You thought you were going to hit me?" He then blasts the Great Knight in the face with dark magic, absorbing his life.

Darik receives 1 damage 30/31 HP

Blocked! Lupis receives no damage 30/30 HP

Great Knight receives 12 damage 11/35 HP

As the fighting continues on, the Halberdiers on either side begin to advance toward the group, catching them in a pincer movement. It seems they'll have to deal with enemies coming from both the front and the sides now.

Great Knight receives 21 damage 0/35 HP

Elay reaches level 17! Elay's Skill and Resistance increase by 1!

Arc and Seraphim then split off to the left, preparing to guard against incoming Halberdiers with Garren while Leo takes the right all on his own. Darik then moves forward, taking out his tome and inspecting the enemy general. "Oh, cute. You think armor will keep you from dying!" Darik snaps his fingers as three explosions of dark magic surround the enemy General. The enemy general then falls over, dead. "It didn't!"

Critical Hit! General receives 84 damage 0/40 HP

Vex then moves forward, taking out her Arcthunder tome. "I like my Generals extra crispy. How about you?" Vex moves her hand through the air before three powerful lightning crashes hit the same General in a row. "And they say lightning doesn't strike twice...? How foolish."

Critical Hit! General receives 90 damage 0/40 HP

Luna rides in by her allies and takes out her light tome. "O-Okay...I can do this..." Elegant strings of light float past the general twice, winding together before exploding into a burst of light. When the light subsides, the enemy is defeated. "I did it...!"

Kaiz then moves forward, holding his bow ready. "...This is gonna be a tough shot to make..." Kaiz prepares a shot with his bow, firing and hitting the enemy knight through the armor and in one of the joints. "I'm not done yet...!" He releases another arrow, hitting the exact same spot. Despite these powerful shots, somehow, the enemy is still alive. "You've got to be kidding me..."

Critical Hit! General receives 15 damage 25/40 HP

Critical Hit! General receives 15 damage 10/40 HP

Meanwhile, the others get busy fighting off Halberdiers. Two of them come charging in at Seraphim, but she stands there and grins. "You think you can take on ME?" One of the Halberdiers stabs at Seraphim, but she moves her shield in the way, blocking the strike. Seraphim then jabs back at them. The other Halberdier tries to flank Seraphim, but she jumps backward as they run past her and she instead stabs them back.

Another Halberdier charges toward Arc, lance at the ready. Arc leads her horse to step backward before she shakes her head in disapproval. "In the name of the gods!" She spins her lance around before slamming it into the enemy Halberdier. Sparkles of light fly off of her blade and the enemy is smote.

Miss! Arc receives no damage 29/29 HP

Critical Hit! Halberdier receives 33 damage 0/30 HP

The last halberdier moves in toward Garren. She lunges forward, but he effortlessly guards with his shield. He then drops down his axe, but the enemy rolls to the side. Trying to strike again, she swings her lance at him, but he guards yet again.

While the left guard is busy, Leo stands over on the right, side noticing incoming Halberdiers. He stretches and cracks his knuckles. "I'll take you all on!" The first Halberdier tries to stab him, but he backflips out of the way, transforming in the air. As he lands on his paws, he notices the others standing around him, having surrounded him. He then swings his paws, knocking away two of the lances. He then picks up one of the Halberdiers and throws them on the last one's lance. He then slashes at another before chomping down on another's helmet. The last one starts to run away, but Leo jumps over him and stands in the way. He knocks them over with one paw and then stomps on them with the other, crushing them. "Well, that was fun I guess?"

Finally, up at the front, the surviving enemy General begins to advance toward Kaiz, but Lupis flies inbetween them, blocking the way toward Kaiz. Kain roars at them. The General stabs at Kain, doing weak damage as it clinks against the scales. Kain then drops down on the General, grabbing him with his claws and swiping away at him until he's dead.

Lupis then lets out a sigh of relief. However, it's too soon as from behind the Generals, Alexander comes charging forward. He lands a solid jab on Lupis. Lupis lets out a shout in surprise before swinging back at Alexander with his axe. The damage is lessened by his armor. Alexander tries to strike once again, but Kain manages to shake him off before he can.

Lupis receives 8 damage 20/30 HP

Garren takes a step forward as he swings his axe horizontally, hitting the enemy Halberdier. She stumbles back before trying to stab at him a couple times, but he manages to easily block both attempts. Finally, Elay runs in with Excalibur in hand. She slashes at the Halberdier, knocking her backward. The Halberdier swings her lance at Elay, catching her off guard and landing a hit, but Elay doesn't falter. "Away with you!" She tosses Excalibur in the air before jumping up, grabbing it, and spinning downward, slamming it into the Halberdier.

Seraphim looks over at her opponent, preparing her lance. She stabs forward with her lance, landing a solid hit. The enemy Halberdier then steps back, spinning his lance. "I'm not giving up!" He jumps forward, stabbing with it. Seraphim blocks, but he steps back and swings his lance overhead. She steps to the side before he swings it diagonally, up at her. She hits it with her own lance, knocking it back. Finally, Seraphim kicks the enemy Halberdier in the chest, knocking him over. She then steps forward, holding her lance in both hands before bringing it down into his chest.

With the Halberdiers taken care of, all that's left is Alexander and Murus. Gerand moves forward, preparing his daggers. He tosses them forward, but Alexander blocks with his sword, knocking them away with a slash. Kaiz then attacks from the other side, firing one arrow while he's distracted. It manages to graze his hand, but then Kaiz spins his next arrow around in his hand before pulling back on his bow. "Gotcha." He releases as it flies forward, hitting Alexander's heel and causing him to fall on his knee.

Arc then rides in on her horse, looking down at Alexander. "...Alex."

He looks up, still in pain from the arrow hitting him. "A-Arc...?"

Arc is silent as she takes out the Blessed Lance.

"That was...Quila's. I guess he was right then wasn't he? She's dead." He then looks over, noticing Wind Edge with Arc. "And Aria too..." Then he lifts his own sword, looking at it. "And now me...? Axel said that you weren't our sister anymore. That Arc was dead. But you're right here..." Tears begin to run down Alexander's face.

Arc rides forward, swinging her lance at him, but as she does so, he lessens the blow with his rapier.

"I...I can't give up..." He attempts to stand before falling back on his knees from the arrow in his heel. "Arc please...Please stop. Let's just go home and forget about this war."

Meawhile, the others head in, ready to deal with Murus. Darik steps up first. "Ha, the Royal Mage, is it? It makes sense that a Noble Knight would fight with you, doesn't it? I suppose this means we were destined to battle."

"Destiny shmestiny. I was ordered to kill you, that's why I'm here. But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun doing it."

"Well then. It seems we don't need anymore words. May the best fighter win."

Darik smiles a bit. "Same to you." He swings one hand forward, causing a blast of dark magic around Murus, but soon notices a spear come flying out of the dark clouds. It flies through the air and hits Darik directly.

Murus receives 6 damage 44/50 HP

Darik receives 15 damage 16/31 HP

Vex takes Darik's place, standing in front of him. "Need some help?" She points forward with her hand, reciting an incantation within her tome before lightning drops down from above, striking Murus. He still stands, however, and throws another spear at Vex. It hits her as well, dealing severe damage. She drops down to her knees, coughing up some blood. "W-Well...Aren't we feeling accurately powerful today...?"

Murus receives 10 damage 34/50 HP

Vex receives 26 damage 1/27 HP

Canzar then rides in front of Vex. "You aren't dying here." She causes a dark shadow to come off of her and fly across the ground, into Murus. It bursts into a shadowy blast when coming across him, but he still stands and he tosses another spear toward Canzar. Luckily, she manages to move aside and evade the attack.

Murus receives 4 damage 30/50 HP

Miss! Canzar receives no damage 23/23 HP

Faron stays back, behind the others. He switches his Light tome with his Purge tome. "I need to end this quickly for my allies!" He swings his arm through the air, causing a beam of light to drop down from the sky and crash into Murus. But he still stands. "Impossible...!"

Murus receives 1 damage 29/50 HP

"So long as I hold onto my will, I still stand!"

Luna then rides forward, taking out her Ellight tome. "I can do this..." She fires off a beam of light as small tendrils of light fly off of it. It then collides with Murus, releasing into a blast of light. Murus survives the attack and then throws his spear at Luna. She moves out of the way just in time.

Murus receives 3 damage 26/50 HP

Miss! Luna receives no damage 22/22 HP

Murus steps forward a bit, injured by the magic, but still able to move just fine. His eyes lock onto Vex as she lays on the ground. He throws his spear forward, arcing it over Canzar's head. She lets out a shout, fearing that the same fate that met Yuro would meet Vex. However, as the spear flies through the air, Vex manages to roll just far enough out of the way that it lands directly next to her. She then smirks a bit. "Heheh...You fell for my trap..." A magic circle appears beneath and above Murus before a ray of lightning blasts down from both sides, smashing into him.

Miss! Vex receives no damage 1/27 HP

Critical Hit! Murus receives 30 damage 0/50 HP

Murus falls over on his back as the magic subsides. "Ha...I guess you all truly were the strongest. Without the wall...Opulentus will fall. Spearah...It looks like I lied to you. Find a way to forgive me. And...protect...Malec..." He falls silent.

As the battle with Murus ends, the battlefield becomes silent. The only sounds that can be heard are clashing steel. Two weapons clanging together and echoing out. Arc stands there, no longer on her horse, attempting to silence her brother. He still raises his blade in defense, blocking her strikes.

"Stop, Arc...I don't want to fight anymore..."

Alexander receives 3 damage 12/31 HP

"Please...Let's just leave this all behind and go home..."

Alexander receives 3 damage 9/31 HP

"I just want things to go back to how they used to be..."

Alexander receives 3 damage 6/31 HP

"I just...want...things to...go back to how..."

Alexander receives 3 damage 3/31 HP

"I...just...want..."

"Shut up!" Arc slams her lance into his rapier, knocking it away. "Just shut up! Our life can NEVER go back to how it used to be! Everyone is dead! So stop asking and just DIE ALREADY!" She lifts her lance in the air and begins bringing it down, however, she's stopped by someone's hands.

"Stop it." Elay stands there. "He doesn't want to fight. He isn't our enemy anymore." She looks back over at Alexander, hopeless and on the floor. "Leave him."

Arc, now realizing what she had been doing, is silent. She stares down at her brother. There's nothing there anymore. He's just a shell. Arc drops her weapon and leaves to help the injured silently.

Arc reaches level 13! Arc's Strength, Skill, Speed, and Luck increase by 1!

Not exactly a lot of options here.

Attack from behind the nearest piece of cover. As soon as the first gets close, dive in hard. Enough that they're tripping over each other and worrying about stabbing one another. At point-blank range a spear is useless, while knives still work just fine.

Use the rough terrain that is the first corpse pile and throw many knives all the time.
