Myth Or History?

Chapter 22:Strategy vs Force.

I laughed hysterically once more, only to be interrupted by Karry as she slapped me across the face.

-One, your laugh is annoying.-she said seriously.-Two, don't fall into madness and let's strategize.

I breathed in and calmed down. My head began working and soon enough it hit me.-Alright, I have a plan. Each and everyone one of you will have a key role in it. You. Must. Not. Fail.-I said seriously. They all nodded silently and listened in.-Alright. Isabelle and Kate, you have very important roles. Kate, I need you to fuse with Anubis and make the biggest army possible. Isabelle, I need you to command many beasts and make them our allies in said army.-I explained.

-Okay, we will start building it today.-Isabelle said.

-Yeah, I can revive some undead and as long as no one fights them they just hang around.-Kate explained.

-Yeah, and my creatures won't go away until dismissed or killed.-Isabelle added.

-Perfect, Isabelle also consider tree summoning for barricades, walls, and to give us an advantage like in guerrila warfare.-I said.-Now, Tyrone and Karry are gonna be our sponges and brute force.-I began.-Because Tyrone has his impenetrable skin, and Karry is wearing a cloak of impenetrable skin. Tyrone I need you for something else too, when I give you the command, you will cause an earthquake and make a large crater between the two sides of the battle field. Try to get a lot of soldiers to fall in, and possibly die from the fall. When soldiers try to go in the crater to help the fallen or to fight the undead army, fill it up with water and drown them. Whoever survives and whoever tries to swim will regret it. Remember how you opened a portal and brought out the Kraken?

-Yeah.-he answered.

-Do that underwater, so that they won't notice, and bring out the Kraken, Sharks, posinous fish, eels. Anything you can that can prove dangerous.-I said.

-Yes sir!-he replied.

-Brice, you are with me in aerial support.-I said.

-Alright.-he said.

-Don't aim for the water.-I said irritated and reading his thoughts.

-Aw...-he said sarcastically.-Okay, mom

I glared at him.-Okay, first we need to the undead and animal army to provoke the enemy troops. Afterwards, Tyrone will entrench, drown and kill the enemy troops, aiming to drown only the enemies and staying away from the our allies. Then we go into the following rotation.-I said as I began to draw with a stick om the ground. I drew a U and an A side by side, below it I drew an S, below that I drew an I and a K.-The undead and animal army will be in front. Following it will be the brute force or sponges, Tyrone and Karry, and behind that will be Kate and Isabelle. Meanwhile, me and Brice will be giving cover fire to all of you from the air.

-Yes, sir!-they all yelled.

-Alright, Tyrone train your earthquakes and marine portals.-I said.-Kate and Isabelle, build our military force.

The days passed quickly and calmly. Everything was calm, I guess in order to make the transition from Heaven to Hell more apparent. We met at midnight on the mountains were we encountered him. He had an army with him. I guess the four hundred men I saw were just a warning shot, because there were easily more than 20,000 soldiers. Archers, lancers, frontlines, horsemen, you name it, it was there.

I was in the air with Brice and I signaled the girls to send their armies forth. The undead went underground and the Jackals went for the direct assault. As the soldiers fought off the Jackals, behind them around a 1,000 undead soldiers appeared. Blood went everywhere and it was still yet to begin. Kate still had around two thousand more soldiers on standby and now Isabelle went forth with her part. She had lots of nocturnal animals like mountain lions, and she had several boars taller than myself. Most impressive of all the beasts though, she had gotten her hands on a Nemean Lion. Now that, was gonna get them rowdy.

We started lowering their number when Mars shouted enraged.-Show yourselves, cowards!

When the undead soldiers fell below 400 and the only animals standing were the lion and the four boars, I signaled Tyrone to spring his part of the plan. He caused and earthquake that sank made a crater taking down 5,000 soldiers, the lion and the boars, and 300 undead. Isabelle called back her animals and they efficiently lept out of the pit, while the undead dug into the ground and returned to standby. The soldiers were surprisingly tough with their armor and such, considering only a few died. Tyrone filled up the pit of doom with water and the heavy armor of the soldiers, turned out to be their downfall.

-Fools! Take off your armor and search for them across the pit!-Mars yelled enraged and not thinking. The 15,000 soldiers that remained did as they were told and tried to cross the crater.

Tyrone opened the portal, 100 great white sharks came out, the Kraken, 16 colossal squids, 30 orcas and 1 Megalodon shark.

Mars was left with only 3,000 men who were able to get ashore, he was very angry.-You cowards! You call yourselves warriors!? I swear by Jupiter that I will kill you all, in the slowest, most painful way possible! Can you hear me!?- Come out and face me!-he yelled at the darkness. I felt a bit of pity for the God... Not. I decided to torment him more. I signalled the girls once more to release their armies. They smirked and chuckled a bit and did as I had asked of them. They released the four boars, the Nemean lion and the two thousand soldiers they previously had on standby.

-Cry for mercy as I strip you of your dignity, Roman.-I said to myself.
