The Tide of Total War

Marcus's Fight

Marcus ran down with the army,

"Alrim!! Keenum!! Irvin!! Go down and continue right, I will take care of this army!!" Commanded Marcus as he turned to the three men, who nodded and ran out of Marcus's sight.

Marcus ran towards the main army, stumbling and limping. His men made it before him this time, but luckily some men came through to face him. It was only two men though. Marcus went up to stab the man on the left, who dodged it. The man on the right, surprisingly had yellow armor and a full head helmet. Marcus followed his swinging motion to slice the man in yellow. The man in yellow dodged and laughed. The purple man on the right ran up to stab Marcus. Marcus used his shield and deflected the stab causing the man to get knocked back. Marcus took the opportunity and sliced the downed man, killing him pretty fast. Marcus turned fast, expecting to find a sword there, and he was right. The sword deflected, but the man didn't stumble. The yellow man swung again, following his last motion, Marcus dodged the attack and went for a right slice, the stab went through the armor, but that was it. Marcus dodged yet another swing by the armored man, and span around for a slicing attack, the man yelled as the sword connected to the skin. The man fell down dead, from the deep contact of the axe. Marcus turned around and ran with the army. The army was losing but soon the healers came to save the day, they went in and healed the majority of the army, Marcus ran in to aid in the assault.

Keenum ran down the stone road like Marcus commanded him to, with the two other men, Irvin and Alrim behind him. They ran down and met a small, army intending to flank Marcus's men. Keenum ran into the middle, taking down two people to the ground. Alrim ran on the right and started swinging both of his jade swords. Killing two men and injuring the rest there. Irvin ran and charged into the men like Keenum, but taking down two men and immediately getting up to his knees and killing both with his two handed spear. Keenum looked up to find a sword going to enter his face in any second, he dove to the right and rolled back up on his feet. He ran at the man and sank his sword deep into the mans gut. The sword coming out of the other side of the body, the man gurgled in a quiet, muffled way as he fell down on the ground. Keenum ran on towards the other man as Alrim ran down counting down his kill like always. Irvin ran over and stabbed another man in the chest. He ran to his left to find the last man next to him, he went for a swing which tore his helmet open. The man stumbled right before Irvin sank his bloody spear into the mans chest. Face covered in sweat, panting.

"Ha!! I bet I got more kills than you guys combined!! Ha!" Yelled Alrim as him and the other

The other two rolled their eyes as they ran on down the road. They reached the corner and turned to the right. They found yet again another army, as they also spotted James behind them fighting another army.

"Why is James over there?" Questioned Irvin

"No time to question, we got to fight these men." Replied Keenum as the three of them charged at the army.

Irvin dove at the man on the left, driving the spear in his chest. Keenum charged into three men, causing all of them to topple, he took that advantage and killed all of them in one, strong swipe. Alrim was, of course, just counting his kills again with his duel, jade swords. They all killed the men in front of them with ease and all looked up to find a man in yellow.

"You can't stop me!!" Yelled the man in yellow as he charged the three men.

Irvin drove his spear forward, but missed as the yellow man dodged the spear attack. Keenum tried to slice him as he was dodging, but the man also dodged that and shoved his sword into Keenum's gut. He cried in pain as his vision blurred and his gut felt like fire. Alrim ran up to stab the yellow man, but all it did was tear up the armor. The yellow man ran up and stabbed Keenum again, almost in the same spot.
