Secret of the Blue Forest (COMPLETED)

Part 23

In the morning, When sun rose. Forces were in formations. Enemy was in front and this time, Brett's soldiers were in front. Lords were on foot among the soldiers. They were walking and giving speeches to boost up the morale. Brett was doing the same thing to his soldiers. Both sides were ready to fight.

Lord Clive came in front, everyone went silent. Lord Clive took out his sword and all the soldiers did the same. Lord Clive started to run towards enemy all of a sudden. Whole army did the same thing. Brett did not understand. This was not a wave. They were coming all. Formations were broke. Brett yelled

"Get ready, they are bringing the fight to us"

Shields were brought in front. Lord Clive's army had archers. They were stopping every few steps and firing two arrows at the same time. Brett's soldier's were getting hit because of their numbers. Brett understood that they were not giving them space and avoiding fireballs. It was a good strategy. Bryte took Brett to a high place. Adlard and Atlan were standing there so they could see the battle and give commands. Brett ordered to fire arrows at will. Archers started firing arrows and took down many of the running soldiers. Lord Clive was the first one to collide with a shield. He hit it with his shoulder, grabbed it with his hand and pulled it with great force. Shielded enemy came forward and Soldiers started getting in the wall. Lord Clive had Lord Philip's fighters with him. They entered and quickly started cutting down enemies. Adlard said

"They broke our wall with one hit"

Lord Clive stabbed the shielded soldier and entered enemy army. Enemies were attacking but he was blocking every attack. Many more shields fell. Lord Artis was attacking on the right side and Lord Philip was attacking on the left side. They left their center a little weak so the enemy was trying to attack the center and the sides were not getting much attention. Lord Artis was finally able to break the wall and Soldiers entered from the right too. Both armies were losing men quickly. Lord Philip's fighters were cutting necks. They seemed like on a whole another level of skill. Philip entered form the left too. Now it was a all out war. Enemy soldiers were blocked by their own soldiers. They could not attack all together but slowly they were getting in the fight. Brett said

"If they keep this up, they will lose"

Lord Philip was pushing from the left. He was facing difficulties because ogres were present in that direction. He lost many men to ogres. He could not afford that. His soldiers were trying their best to avoid the swords and cleavers of the ogres. Theia was with Lord Clive, She was fighting side by side Lord Clive. Kerk and Poif were fighting with Lord Artis. Whole place was filled with the voices of metal clanking, yelling and painful voices of soldiers. Many were on the ground wounded or dead. Many were trying to fight with wounds. Brett said

"Bring out the boggarts, we will crush them"

Adlard said

"We can not, our soldiers are in front and they will crush them too. Boggarts and fireballs are behind the foot soldiers"

Brett ordered the army to retreat a bit so he can at least bring out the boggarts. His army retreated a bit. Some space was cleared and now both armies were standing face to face. Archers were hitting Brett's soldiers while they were trying to clear way for the boggarts. Some were still fighting and could not retreat in time. Lord Artis was fighting with one of the officers. Lord Artis swung his sword and the enemy blocked it. He pushed Lord Artis back. Lord Artis came back a few steps and Kerk jumped in. He did not give any chance to the enemy officer. Officer was looking at Artis, Kerk's sword separated his head from the body. Lord Artis was exhausted. He held his sword up again and began walking towards the enemy. Sun was high and soldiers were sweating. Their breath was fast. They were tired. But they followed the lead of Lord Artis and started to move towards enemy. Lord Clive did the same and Lord Philip too. Lord Clive look down to avoid stepping on a body and saw that it was of General Salvador. He said
