The sand stretches over the horizon and the wall was surrounded by soldiers guarded the drawbridge. The second in command looked out and cried, "There are thousands of men, they're moving forward."

"Can you see the leader?" asks Prince Renius the General

Tian the second in command wiping the sweat from his face when he sees the Mar approached them he looks for a little longer "Yes, he is wearing the pitch black armour."

Those in front are covering their heads with shields. Those behinds are bending their bows. They are going to shoot.

A horn sounded, giving the signal for the attack. From the walls came the beating of drums.

Hundreds of arrows hit the walls. Hundreds of arrows fells upon the attackers.

The Mar attacking the wall. They have made a hole in it. They're going through.

They are setting up ladders to climbing up the wall.

The Pyn are throwing oil, fire, huge stones, and tree trunks down on the heads of their enemies who tried to climb the ladders many men of Mar have fallen but others are taking their places. The fighting has stopped. They're getting ready for the next attack.

It was a sunny and balmy morning The Mar began their second attack; they attack the wall and struck the gate with their heavy weapons. The battle was still raging. The air was filled with dark smokes, shouts, cries and groans. The ground was pooling and slippery with blood, the gate seemed likely to fall. But they still keep on throwing stones, boiling oil and shooting down at their enemies. The Mar see the danger and temporarily retreated back to saved their injure soldiers and plan to attack again within the next few days

Renius looks at Nux who was standing alone away from others and see his gaze at the far distance towards the enemy campsite where their tents are built "don't be scared, I will capture him alive for you."

Nux calmly replied, "It's easier said than done."

"Prince of Mar may be strong, but he's not invincible" Renius patted his hand, eyes following his

Nux sighed "General is still underestimating Prince of Mar even at this time. His army of ten thousand men and horses has certainly created chaos around here so it wouldn't be unusual that his soldiers have died....'

Prince Renius the General still shook his head "I will challenge him into a duel, and I am confident that I can bring his head for you... and for me to be able to save more lives, if they succeed to destroy this wall... we're outnumbered by them"

Nux was worrying about how to deal with Prince of Mar and seeing Renius, he quickly added, "General! I need him alive for me take his soul and life but your safety comes first I don't mind you kill him if it's hard for you to protect yourself I am satisfied being with you and eats your maids and servants instead."

Prince Renius doesn't like when Nux looks at him this way "Just wait you will see him crawling on his four knees, I will prove to you that he is not invisible as they claim it"

Two days later words had been sending to the Prince of Mar to accept the Challenge of Prince Renius General of Kyl into a life and death duel and no other people to involve the winner gets the Pra Border and the loser have to retreat.

The Prince of Mar's normally expressionless face carried a faint wisp of red, a hint of smile playing on the corner of his beautiful mouth as he drank, seemingly satisfied with the message he turned and look at the attendant with a subtle smile "Tell your Prince the General to prepare well and not to forget to say his goodbyes to his dear ones as the day we meet is the day he will die!"
