Next morning, when the sun came up. Both armies started marching. Clanking of armors could be heard and marching footsteps were making the ground shiver. Drums were banging. Riders were riding their horses and scouts were looking out for ambush. Tensions were high. Lords were riding together and discussing the situation. Ludik was the in charge of the new horse squad. Philip's new bodyguard was Rio. He was riding silently with them.
Artis: We need to attack their officers. We have less numbers so better cut the heads of the army.
Clive: This will bring courage to our army.
Philip: Shadow death is not an officer but he is a sign of terror too. If we can kill him then we will gain benefit.
Artis: Now we have seen his face, we can target him too.
Clive: I have instructed long bows to aim for the fireballs throwers.
Kerk: My elves will be looking for ogres and boggarts. Horse squads can distract enemy.
Philip: Brett army should have prepared Adlard's people to fight the proper formations. It will be not as easy as last time.
Artis: All we can do is wait and fight. Lets see what happens.
A little late in the afternoon, they came to the fighting grounds. They could see the enemy camping far away. As soon as they reached, enemy started moving forward. Officers started yelling orders. Soldiers took formations. Lords separated to different locations in the army. Enemy halted at one chalk. Lord Clive ordered to bring forward the shields. Shielded soldiers came forwards and formed a line. Everyone went silent. Then they saw Brett coming forward and he took out his sword. Enemy soldiers started running towards them. Archers knocked their arrows. When enemy came to half chalk. Archers released the arrows. Arrows came down like rain on enemy. Enemy started falling. But from behind them came Boggarts. Enemy soldiers were riding them. Boggarts could easily run through the shields. Boggarts were followed by more enemy soldiers. From right, came Ludik with his horse squads. Some horses were rode by elves. Ludik swarmed them and elves jumped on the Boggarts. Horse squads were coming in small groups. They rode down the following enemies and they started running back. Elves quickly took down the Boggarts. And horsemen picked them while running. They did not stop. First wave was ineffective. Soldiers started yelling in happiness. After some time and regrouping, second wave of the enemy made their way to them. This time, it had ogres and humans. Archers did the same thing but this time specific archers had steel headed arrows and they were aiming for ogres. Ogres and normal soldiers got hit. Some fell to the ground and some kept on running. Enemy came close and had collision with the shields. Shields absorbed the collision. Shielded soldiers were supported by the soldiers behind them. Soldiers quickly started stabbing enemies from sides of the shields. Blood was spilling everywhere. Some enemies were able to kill the shielded soldiers. and ran in the formations but were welcomed by more swords. Fallen shields were quickly grabbed my more soldiers and they made the wall again. Ogres came close too. One ogre grabbed a shield and picked the soldier with it too. Soldiers quickly ran to his help. They started stabbing the ogre. Ogre roared and threw the shield away. He swung his cleaver and cut down two soldiers from the waist. One soldier jumped on his chest and stabbed his heart. Ogre fell down. Soldier kept on stabbing. Enemies were slowly getting cut down. They killed some soldiers too but clearly were not ready to fight the formations. Fight continued but after some bloodshed, second wave was over. Running back, many enemies were hit by arrows. Lord Clive yelled
"Get ready men, Final wave is coming"
They waited and waited but enemy was not marching their way. Lord Clive turned to see that sun was going down. He went to Lord Artis and talked. They saw enemy going back. Soldiers started putting their swords back in the sheathes. Today was over. Lord Clive ordered the army to come back. Lord Artis yelled
