Secret of the Blue Forest (COMPLETED)

Part 21

Brett and Adlard were riding on horses. Adlard did not know how to ride and nor did Atlan. They were riding slow. Their army was making its way to Lord Clive's valley. This was the final battle. After that, it would not be hard to take the whole land. It was taking times because of Adlard's army was on foot and their fireball structures were slow to move. Brett's army had done all they could to teach Adlard's army to fight formations effectively. Brett's testers made camps at three locations. They were moving to one of those camps. Brett was telling Adlard about his father.

Brett: One time, a king came from outside, He had an army and thought that he could take Land of Draound. All lords got together and my father had the command of the army. He defeated that King. My father is a hot headed man. He fought other lords too. He has the most experience. At the battle field, try to kill my father first. He can do some serious damage to us.

Adlard: I will order my soldiers.

Brett: Other one is Philip. He fought with my father too. He has all the great fighters in his command. His men can kill many of us.

Adlard: We have many to spare.

Brett: Lord Clive, he is a mind master. He will be playing all the tricks in this battle. We do not have any danger from him physically.

Adlard: Half the battle is won through mind Brett. Do not underestimate him.

At Lord Clive's, army was moving out. Orders were getting yelled. Soldiers were walking and packing tents. Whole village of tents in front Lord Clive's castle was getting packed. Horses were running here and there. Generals were instructing their men to hurry up. Enemy was at move. Elves were marching too and Kerk was in charge of them. Lords were figuring out last details of the battle plan. Till noon, they was only a small part of army left, Lords were to go tomorrow. Generals went with the soldiers but Jonald stayed. Ludik knew what he wanted to do so he stayed too. Lord Artis knew why he stayed but he was confident that nothing will happen to him. He was a experienced lord and Clive was his friend. At this valley, Lord Clive's orders were to be carried out. Philip can make a problem but Nigel was his friend too. Votes were equal but situation was in his favor. No one can make rash decisions in the time. Theia went with the elves. She wanted to do her part in the battle. Every pair of hands were needed which can fight. Rio and his two friends went with Lord Philip's soldiers. Rio was happy with his new life. At night, Lord Clive received the reports that enemy was moving in his direction. He sent this news to army. All lords sat together for final time and discussed the situation. After that, they all went to rooms. They were to move early in the morning. Lord Artis came to his room. He drank a glass of wine and there was a knock on the door. He knew Jonald was here. He opened and saw Jonald standing.

Jonald: Let's go.

Artis: I am still a Lord, say my lord.

Jonald: You are not a lord, you lost your valley, your son and you are a murderer.

Artis: Nothing will happen Jonald, why go through this?

Jonald: We will see.

Artis: Where are the other Lords?

Jonald: Ludik is calling them to study room.

Artis sighed. He walked out and Jonald gave him the way. As soon as he came out, a powerful punch knocked him out. He saw nothing and went blank. His eyes opened a little after sometime. He saw Ludik in front of him. He was lying in the hall way. He saw Lord Clive, Lord Philip and Ludik. He stood up with support of the wall. His head was spinning. Ludik saw him and quickly grabbed his arm to support him. Lord Artis walked to Lord Clive and behind him he saw his room's door open. Jonald was laying down and a knife was in his heart. Blood was still coming out of his chest. On the wall, it was written
