Alfenheims Warlords (a SAO fanfic)

Chapter 51

It was on the 2nd day of real life time that the Alves finally got progress done and it was quite big to say the least. In fact, it was so big it truly started the battle off completely as Reaper and Midnight watched with mixture of concern and relief as the forces of the Alves came flying into the first wall and it's gates since the destruction of the whole gatehouse and several of the tower bastions of the outer wall, eliminating many siege engines and units near them. It had pretty much been a instantaneous thing as the Alves at one point were trying to get something of a siege work around the walls and the next moment several huge explosions shattered the wall and sent debris raining all around.

That being said, the forces of Reaper and Midnight fought the Alves into a standstill after their initial push in and were keeping them held at the just the outer parts of the castle town as Reaper tried to get Kommando on in case the Alves had another trick up their sleeve. And if they had somehow smuggled some sort of explosive to destroy multiple points of the wall without the Princes knowing, he had a fishy feeling of what maybe happening.

Eventually, Kommando got the memo and once Reaper got the handshake from the system, he quickly went over to Midnight and said, "Well... it ends today I guess."

Midnight twirled his dual daggers around as they were the only ones on as Mantis was having her last medical tests done today and Sinon and Lisbeth were offline for the moment. Reaper would need to send them a heads up to get on in a bit as he then said to Midnight, "Let's get to work!"

And they jumped out of the tower as they headed for the chaos of the siege battle going out beyond the Inner walls.

Kirito watched the tide of Alves and Guilds flood into the breaches as he and Asuna, along with the rest of the gang, sat back with their army as they had literally just got on to glance at progress when they found this going on. Probably had only been going on for a few minutes and already the Alves were being gently pushed back outside as the trebuchets and catapults fired from the Inner Wall a distance from the Outer Wall, their rounded stones smashing through formations and Guilds while the forces of the Plague and Blood Princes were pushing them back tooth and nail at every barricade.

For a moment, it would seem like the Alves would get pushed back again but Kirito then watched explosions rock not just the Princes forces but the Alves as swathes of both sides exploded from fire and brimstone igniting amongst them. Something wasn't right but Kirito couldn't put his finger what it could be but he then realized with gaps in the forces currently fighting that the skeletons and special units of the Princes would begin to push back the Alves.

"Alright! Let's go! Time to get in ourselves!" Kirito and the whole gang grabbed their units to follow them and they began the charge into the breach as other armies realized the potential threat of losing this fight and also threw themselves into the fight with vigor. Kirito has no cavalry units, they wouldn't be useful in the sieges anyway unless the enemy came out, so the whole army was mainly Swordsmen, Archers, and Guardians as they charged straight into the breach as routing units and badly mauled Guild players began to leak out of the fight to pull back and maybe regroup. Kirito jumped and brought his sword on a Skeleton as the clash renewed here and while a few catapults and trebuchets shots sailed into his ranks or above it, he hacked and chopped at the skeletons before him as Asuna was at his back. Klein and Shisho stood side-by-side as Klein was her shield using his body and sword to keep skeletons and some demons off of Shisho who used the units with them and her magic to try and exploit the weakened defenders. Agil and Silica were next to one another as they also lead their units to attack and slowly, across the Alves lines of Kirito's units, they began to make some push-way as they began to force the skeletons to fall back one by one. Kirito watched as a few clambered over a barricade and sent his Guardians with Great weapons to crack it down while he watched Asuna point to Yui to have the archers fire over it to hit the defending units on the other side.
