I hear the sounds of swords sharpening and people chanting as I walk past the blacksmith. The puny little Messenian have declared war on the MIGHTY SPARTA! At night time I get summoned to our kings throne by a messenger. On my way I hear meat sizzling, bows twanging with a thump when it buries it's shaft in the target and I hear a spearman leader shouting "Flanks formation!" Finally I get to the velvet covered throne room I bow. The king commands "Lead the 2nd battalion to victory!" I reply "Your majesty it would be an honour." The king says "You've been excused," I go back down the twisty echoey staircase. I march into the market looking for things that my family needs. I stop at the butcher hut ordering "Five steaks and two pork shoulders!" The butcher walks off. One boring minute of me tapping my foot he comes back with what I asked. He tells me "Watch your step. Thievery is common," I grab twenty pieces of bronze and place it next to the things he gave me and then pick the things I brought up and just before I leave I pay a tip, then I walk home.
Thump! I hit the hilt of my sword on the meeting table. I get all six of the squadron leaders attention. I plan aloud saying "Cody Don, your spearmen will surround George Lucass arches in a flanks formation! George Lucas, your arches will rain a death of fire while standing in the circle that Cody Don's spearmen made! Alex Far and John Dill your men will charge in after the enemy's finished charging. Alex Far's horsemen first then John Dill's elite swordsmen. Kyle Roblen, your swordsmen will distract the enemy while there charging by ambushing them. Tyler Acunal, your artillery will stay near the castle and launch three boulders at a time before they are two hundred meters away from our men and after they are join groups with the 1st battalion's artillery while George Lucas's men will retreat to 1st battalion's archers when the Messenians are 20 meters away!" I say "Your all excused." At 8:00 am a war trumpet blows. The Messenians have been spotted! I ride forwards on my war horse that's covered in silver amour and I'm wearing silver amour all over except for the helmet. I have no helmet. I blow a two feet long horn standing for 2nd battalion. I hear eight other unique horns and I know all 9 battalions are ready. My battalion gets in position to strike. I join the horsemen in battle. I hear twelve boulders hits the ground and twelve more and I yell "Artillery, retreat," then one minute later I hear bows twanging and an ambush triggering. I get a glimpse of many people dying but most of them are dressed in a uniform that I haven't seen before. I know we are winning. Quickly I realise something and yell "Archers! RETREAT!" I hear curses from the archers and then all is quiet. To break the silence I yell "Charge!" as I ride forwards and put on my helmet. I sneak off behind the enemies archers. I yell "For Sparta!" and take down half the archers before they can react. I pick up a dead archer and shoot an arrow behind my horse so it gallops toward the other archers. I keep on doing that until we are five meters away.
I unshief my sword and take down the remaining archers except for one. When I'm about to kill him he blocks with a broad sword. I see a crown on top of his head. I'm terrified. I ride to the castle and when I come in I jump off my horse running as fast as a car to the throne room and spurt out " Battle, king, found... I found the king in the battle in their archers at 2nd battalion!" The king cries "This is outrages. Show me at once!" We both rush down the stairs and to the stables. The king gets on his horse and I run to the front gate to get mine. I ride out to a high hill. When the king comes I point to the last archer left just as the sun sparkles on his crown. The war goes silent when the other king sees our king they both ride into the middle of the war zone drawing their swords. Then they dismount and every one nearby circles around them. The king of Sparta attacks first by doing a vertical swing down but the king of Messenian stands back. As he is doing it he drops his sword, grabs an arrow from his quiver, loads it in his bow, pulls the string and let's go. It's like the worlds going in slow motion just seeing the arrow sink into his brain. I run forwards while drawing my sword in anger. I continue to bash the sharp end of my sword at the remaining kings chest until he falls to the ground. When he does I swipe his head clean off. I wipe his blood off my face back onto him as I shout "Sparta will always be victorious!" I turn around catching a surprised soldier in the leg with my sword. Any Messenian I see alive I kill. Then I walk back to my mount and ride to my home.
