Alfenheims Warlords (a SAO fanfic)

Chapter 26

The army was actually quite a considerable size and also, to Kommando's surprise, also quite organized considering it was made from not 4 but a dozen different Bone Princes. The colors of the necromanced hordes of zombies, demons, and skeletons were all varying on their armor, with some with yellow and others with purple and even some with blue.

Still, as Kommando293 and Reaper294 stood on the walls with their weapons drawn, they knew this mob was not likely going to go down like the others and was going to actually put up a fight for once.

But as Kommando293 and Reaper294, joined by two of Reaper's commanders and all of Kommando's commanders, watched the Bone Prince army slowly march towards Kommando's castle, suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps behind them and all of them turned to see Sinon, Lisbeth, Sanginium, Thaxae, and Medusae as Sinon and Lisbeth looked out from the walls to the army as Lisbeth asked, "Does this happen often?"

"No... last one we had was some time ago... " said Theodosius as he kept his tower shield up and his gigantic siege hammer.

"So... what shall we be doing this time?" asked Sinon as she looked at the Prince of Darkness.

"As much as I don't want to drag you into my problems..." said the Prince of Darkness as he turned to Sinon.

"I'm going to need a lot of help for this fight I'm pretty sure..."

Everyone looked at the Prince like he had just said a miracle and as Sinon looked at the enemy army, it did seem like it would need many to tackle it. It was far more organized into separate hordes that the normal gigantic horde she had seen last time.

"So... then... what shall we do?" asked Sinon.

Kommando293 looked to Sinon and as he did, he then suddenly realized something that made him feel stupid.

Her hair was not cyan in color but was rather a light blue of sorts. Or blue in general. Why had he not realized that sooner and why was he bothered with the color of her hair-

He shook his head as he focused back onto the problem as he then said, "Well.. as much as I want to keep you in the back here... I'm going to need both you and Lisbeth to help me in holding the center along with the Prince of Blood, Raiden, and Theodosius. Everyone else will be on the flanks. Any questions?"

"Yeah... what's the strategy for this one?" asked Reaper.

"Hold the line... until we know what strategy these competent Bone Princes have, we can simply hold the line... perhaps they'll allow us to envelop them completely..." said Kommando as he then said to his handmaidens, "And finally... as much as I wish you three to be on the field, I must ask Thaxae, Medusa, and Sanginium to protect the castle and the keep at the gates."

"Your command will be respected." said Sanginium as the handmaidens bowed.

"Good. Now lets get my army ready."

And with that, Kommando293 brought up both hands and lifted them into the sky as darkness shot from it and into the ground before the castle. As he did this, Reaper294 also did the same as blood came gushing out of his palms like long limbs and did the same before the castle walls as the ground began to shake.

As it did, Sinon suddenly noticed the Generals running towards the front of the castle as units that were simply meant for a garrison appeared from everywhere along the walls and as she was doing the math, there was at least 36 units of various types scattered across the walls.

And then she heard the earth begin to rumble and as she looked out from the walls with Lisbeth, her throat became stuck with her heart as she watched as the hordes of undead began to appear before the walls. They were not super built, that much seemed obvious, having only chainmail, a helmet, swords, and a shield, but they were a lot and as they all huddled in large mobs of their own, the Commanders stood at the front of the gates as they all grouped up as some sort of their own group. And as Sinon counted the number of mobs both Reaper and Darkness had combined, it had nearly over 75.
