Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 261: War! (2)

Velamina know that most of the Orcs here has come for revenge. For vengeance against the Bor clan.

Some come because of their King order. Some come because they are forced after losing to Arial.

But Arial plan worked.

It might seem heartless but most that died in the first volley is the seven thousand troops that he had acquired from Fortress Serif.

Velamina could see that while Arial would hesitate to sacrifice the troop that is loyal to him, he has no qualms of sacrificing troops that used to be his enemies.

He has no mercy to his enemy but unbounded generosity and affection to those who are loyal to him.

Maybe, that is what makes him so successful in ruling over his soldiers. Reward loyalty and punish disobedience.

Now behind them, Arial main troops began running with vengeance in their hearts to the fortress wall.

Orc Sewa who is in charge of the Archer Division began shouting orders to start shooting.

'Shoot that unloyal orc!! We will kill all of Bor clan members to avenge our clans!!!'

Some of the soldiers were throwing their axes to attack but since the walls are high it rarely impeded the archers on the wall.

'STAIRS. PUT THE STAIRS UP! HURRY!' Arial yelled again, as they began climbing the wall the moment the stairs were up.

When one of them fall because of the arrows or spears, another will take their place and in the end they manage to put one long stairs on one end of the wall.

'GO TO THE NORTH SIDE AND CLIMB IT!'

'CLIMB FASTER!' Some Orc yelled.

Some will wait on the plains maintaining their Tortoise formation, and marching using the same formation.

And some have begun climbing.

Some of them were speared and fell off, some were shoot by arrows and die to their death, splashing on the hard ground, leaving red stains on the plains.

Falling from such heights, it is impossible to survive unless one had powerful constitution or some tricks like some powerful lightness skill.

But when Arial orc soldiers reaches the top, quickly fierce fights erupted high on the walls.

Arial now making sure the rear division began catching up and after he is sure of that, he began using Dragon Heaven Step technique.

He run to the walls and run up vertically on the walls, like his feet is walking on solid ground, leisurely and swiftly as and gasping sound from allies and foes alike could be heard.

'What is that?'

'Is he…flying?'

Some of the enemies watch in awe as Arial scales the wall not using the stairs but instead using his own two legs, like he is stepping on the wind and freely avoiding the spears that is thrown at him while running to the top using the wind.

It was like he is stepping on an invisible stairwell to the top of the wall and when he reached the top he jumped at the wall and swings his large glaive.

twelve archers were cut waist down by one slash of Arial swings, and the top wall in the north side shakes because of his internal energy.

'ATTACK!' Arial yelled as he began attacking any Orc he sees with his large glaive.

Velamina on the bottom of the fortress are trying to enter by the east tower and while the Orc is concentrating on the north side, quickly Velamina seized this opportunity and raise her stairs and climb it with her army and quickly they gained a foothold of the east side.

But she need to maintain that position or risked certain death.

Everywhere is full of sounds of fighting, yelling and screaming, blood flowing, and skins and flesh cut.

Orcs is dying in thousands, fighting against each other. Arial do not know anymore as the battlefield devolves into pure chaos.

He just slices anyone on his way.

He is running around the top wall slicing the defending Orc while his troop runs to the west side of the tower to help the other division to climb the fortress.

After all, looking at their commander, he seems to be in control of the north side so a Ratarai command a one hundred Orc troops to go to the west side to gain a foothold there.

Orcs were pushing ahead and climbing up walls under constant barrage of arrows from the enemy while throwing war axes and their spears only to retrieve back when they arrived at the top and took back their axes from the lying corpse of Bor clan Orcs.

Even though it looks like Arial has no plan, it is only because he is confident of his own strength.

Nothing stops him.

For the first time, he felt such power inside him and truly anyone who knows his story would say he was now truly look like a dragon, devouring everyone on his way.

Some could even see a shadow of dragon when Arial is storming hundreds of Orcs in the wall while head is rolling down the stairs of the wall with each swing of Arial glaive.

Even though Bor Orcs clan members have such advantage, defending a fortified fortress with plenty of arrows and troops and in spite of Arial troops is not fully on the fortress, these advantages are null when faced with Arial.

'Truly he has become a dragon' Velamina thought. Even though she is on the east side, she could hear the screaming and yelling.

'SAVE US! HE IS UNSTOPPABBLE.'

'HE IS A MONSTER'

'HE IS THE HORNED WARRIOR' Such yells and scream can be heard from the north side. Only one would elicit such fear and that will be Arial.

The advantage in number did not overwhelm Arial.josei

How could it? One swing and fifty Orcs died. In a large area, if Arial go full power, maybe hundreds of Orcs and if he really swings it with his full power, it might reach a thousand mark.

But here in the wall his movement is restricted so with each swing only ten of the enemy orc archers died while reinforcement from the ground of the fortress begins their way up to push Arial troops from the wall.

Many of them guarded the front gate of the fortress, ready to lay down their lives protecting it, if Arial troop decide to open the door from inside.

Thousands are dying by the minute as the attack intensified and the upper wall of the fortress is painted red with blood of Orcs. While the killing is progressing on top of the walls of the fortress, Arial Orc troops in the west side is experiencing difficulties as the battle is going terrible for them

Without their formidable leader they are easily killed. And without his orders while they still maintained their military formation, they are like without a head, easily broken when they are surrounded or pierced by the side

Right now the west tower wall is slowly being breached and also the other side of the wall is being tested to the limit.

The fighting in the west and the east tower is fierce with Velamina wanting to hold her position in the east while the Ratarai is trying to gain a foothold in the west tower.

There are still seven thousand troops in front of the fortress waiting for reinforcement or the gates to open while evading javelins and arrows from the top of the tower

Then unbeknown to Arial an ambush division of Bor stormed the rest seven thousand on the plains from the forest.

Their attack was swift and incisive.
