ALORA EMBRY

This is the first time I activate my mana circles since I stepped at the capital. I was still holding the fire bow in my hands and I target that suspicious man that was just watching. I put too much force on it when flying through his direction followed by countless fire arrows but he just made it so easy to block.

"Retreat!"

"Mage the fake knights bring back them on their position." We take a long rest and I think that the enemies were notifying someone to send some backups. The sun was already rising when they attack once again. Their barrier now this time was strong and they come up with a plan that killed our fake knights.

When the fakes were now all dead, Wren send another batch of knights but before some of them reach us they were already killed by the poisons. They back out after that and I saw how they tried to save some of them.

"Remain in your positions." It was now the enemy's time to attack. Their mage just does our tactic and releases arrows in our direction. And with the immediate action of Quin, we are all safe.

"Good job now remove the barrier."

"Okay."

"Archers Release!" from afar I can see their commander moving forward and he was being protected by their mages. They made it safely into the middle and I command them again.

"Mage protect the second and third battalion! Second battalion move don't mind the mage and kill everyone!"

"Yes!"

"Ahh!" I continue to release fire arrows to break the barrier and kill the mages, it was tough but with the help of the mages on our side, we manage to make a fatal blow on them.

"RETREAT!!"

"Second battalion go back to your position!" when they were already back in their positions I spotted the commander back.

"Don't dodge this." I release the spear of mine and his horse happened to hit. "That's some shit." He rolled to the ground while his horse cried in pain. I saw how the knights help their commander but I had already commanded the second and third battalion to move.

"You are so cruel," Glenn said.

"I know."

"Maybe they were thinking 'we are safe now because they also retreat' but you give them false hope."

"Disregard the pity you feel for them or I'll treat you a traitor. They wage war with us so they need pay."

"Calm down."

"Hah!" I laugh when I saw how Hayes beheads the commander of Wren. Déjà vu.

"We already killed the Commander!"

"Move forward we must slaughter all of them today. We won't leave anyone!" the knights screamed in joy and move forward as they killed the remaining knights.

Together with the knights' fight head to head with the remaining knights of Wren, they lost their focus because no one leads them.

"Kill everyone!" I wiped the blood that splat on my face and take a deep breath. My body was full of blood and so the sword when I saw a dead man lying I immediately ripped his shirt and use it to wipe the sword before putting back on its sheath.

It went ended pretty fast and we only have wounded knights on our side. While the mage was treating them and while the knights are having a fun time. A man suddenly appeared in front of me and stab me in my chest.

Blood started to gush from my mouth and my eyes widened when he was the mage that put black magic on the Crown Prince Bryce.

"Your so annoying do you know that?"
