Skyterriens ~The skies~

Chapter 8

Everyone charge into battle. We draw out our bows, swords, knifes and fists. We slice through the swarm. Arrows flying across the battlefield in the sky. The swing and clang of swords and Infests legs echos through. There are lots of bloodshed, the screams of the fallen scar my mind. I'll never forget the people who fight beside us. I swing my knife around, slicing Infest after another. Suddenly there is a sound of a horn. I look ahead to see, another swarm of Infest coming. They are bigger, meaner and tougher.

"Watch out, they are elite soldiers, there might be the generals. Be careful." Someone shouts.
"YES SIR!" Everyone shouts back.

We keep fighting, slicing Infest, more have fallen and some of us is at our limit. To defend our future is in our hands. I am fighting, until a Infest elite almost strike me with it's mighty pincers. An arrow fly by and pierce the elite. I look at where the arrow comes from. Amelia lowers her bow. She smiles at me and put her thumb up. I return it with a smile. I see an Infest behind her, I throw a knife at the infest. Head shot. Amelia looks behind her and sigh withe relief before moving on. I see archers standing in a line. Releasing their arrows all at once. Arrows pierce their target with pin point accuracy.

"Remind me to never mess with them." I say as I am astonish of their accuracy.

I don't how long we been fighting, but Infest keep coming and coming. Another horn bellows and everyone starts to fall back. I look ahead to see. A cavalry of Infest swarms to us. They were bigger that the elites,  bigger then the previous swarms. Some of us are getting tried and they keep coming. We ready ourselves.

"Okay men and women, Listen up!"
Everyone stood there listening.
"We don't have time to listen to my whole speech, so I'll make it short."
He takes a deep breath.
"Up ahead, is the Infest royal warriors. They are brutal and probably our greatest threat."
Everyone start to worry and whisper among themselves.
"BUT!"
We all stop.
"They don't know we are the greatest threat to them, Lets bring them hell!"
"YES!" Everyone shouts and cheers.
"On my signal we charge at them."
We wait.
"CHARGE!"
We charge at the royal warriors and draw our weapons. Archers shooting from their vantage point. Vanguards, clearing a path and dealing with the elites and normal Infests. Brawlers punching and kicking the rear guard. Bashing their way through. I see my sister, blasting Infests with her plasma gun. I see an Infest sneaking behind her.I throw a knife. It hit it's leg. It falls. My sister look at me and blast her gun. She shoots the Infest behind me.

"Thanks sis."
"Be careful, this is a battlefield." She replies.
I nod.

I fly towards the general. I draw my knife and I sneak my way. I use the different battles going on. Vanguards fighting elites, brawlers fighting soldiers Infests and archer dealing with our defense. I see the general. If I kill the general the war is in our favor. The general is heavily guarded. I try to observe my surrounding. There are two elites in front of it and behind it. Five royal warriors covering a 100 meters radius. About a dozen soldier surrounding the general and elites.

"Okay, first I need to take down the royal warriors as fast as possible so they don't realise what is happening."
I sneakily fly to the royal warrior furthest away from the others. I grab my bow off my back and draw it. I pull the string and take aim. I release the arrow, the arrow fly and strikes it on the back. I quickly go to the next one, on the right. It looks bored and not very alert. I take aim and release the arrow. The arrow strikes it on the neck. I move on to the next one. It is very hard to take aim from where am I. I fly until I am floating upside down. I draw my bow, I take aim and release the arrow. The arrow swirl and hit it on the head. I see the one next to it realise and I shoot it with my throwing knife.
"That's was close."
I sigh with relief. I carry on and end the life of the last one.
"You call them royal warriors, ptfff. Warriors in their dreams,"
I check my surroundings and there is the dozen soldiers and 2 elites. I hear the general buzz some orders. Half of the dozen soldiers left.
"Bad move, Mr General." I whisper.
There is six soldiers and two elites. I take my throwing knifes. I throw six of them and 5 of them hit their target. I miss one of them. I can see one of them notice the rouge knife. I grab my knife and fly quickly and stealthy to the last one. I cleanly ends it's life. All there is left the two elites.
"I can't end it cleanly, I'll just two v one them."
I charge to one of the elites. I strike my knife in elite one neck. It scream with pain and swing around. I jump back. Elite one and two charge towards me. I dodge their attacks and their pincers. I block their attacks. I draw another knife, while deflecting their attacks. I use my second knife and stab elite two through its amour and in it's heart. It falls to the Earth. Elite one try to attack me. I barely dodge it. It's pincers scratch my face. Blood slowly drip off my face. I attack with two of my knives and quickly finish him off. I pull my knifes off its chest before it plummets to the Earth. All is left is the big boss. I grip my knifes and charge towards the general.
"Let's the battle begin!"
