sword to scepter

part 2 - the tables have turned.

Shou arrives at the meeting grounds with his escort when he finally sees who the warlord enemy is.

Malachi: here comes the baby.

Malachi giggles as shou arrives and calls him a baby

Malachi is a strong warlord from the asura kingdom, it is a ruthless kingdom which forgives no one. But contrasting to its name, the ruler is a very kind and innocent person who is manipulated by Malachi. Although the kingdom's citizens were content with the ruler, Malachi has made it a hell for the citizens.

Shou proceeds to sit on the chair and asks him for a peace treaty for the final time.

Reynard tries to remind him of the fact that the king wants them all dead, but shou insists on following the path of peace.

Malachi does not care about peace, he only wants to conquer more land and he insults them before leaving.

Shou and reynard along with their escort retreat back to the tents and order the soldiers to prepare for an attack.

An hour goes by before finally Malachi rings the war bell and sends his army charging towards them.

Shou immediately gets on high alert.

Shou: everyone take defense! 
Get ready for the attack!

The soldiers slot in spears into the gaps between the shields as they get ready.

Shou to reynard: let it rain on those fellows.

Shou: arrowmen Fire!

The arrows dipped in oil are lighted up on fire and are sent flying towards the enemies.

The soldiers finally have contact with shou's army only after losing a few hundred from the arrows.

The cannons with huge balls fire from the sides to kill more of the soldiers.

Couple of hours in and half of the soldiers of asuras are dead but only 20% of soldiers from shou's army are dead.

Right before the soldiers of asuras are about to give up, they see Malachi himself arriving with a huge bow and arrows, Malachi motivates them and the soldiers of asura are more energized than ever, they start taking down shou's soldiers like it's nothing and the soldier count of shou dips below asuras. Reynard and the other soldiers are now terrified and scared.

Shou: I have a plan up my sleeve.
