Neon Cavaliers

Chapter 5: Glarek the Orc

"How much longer till they get here?"

I was beginning to get anxious as I helped Selena set up camps near the battlefield where Glarek will appear.

"About a day. So, can you please relax and stop asking me that question."

We finished setting up the final tent for the camp, and while we were doing that, Ruby was entertaining the troops with some magic tricks, Lucy was showing Connor how to ride a Pegasus, as Me, Matt, Leo, and Selena went over the battle plan.

"So, we will have the main troops in the front with Me, Alex, and Leo. The Pegasi riders and the spear users will be in the middle area with Lucy and Connor and will come in from the sides. Matt will be with the archers in the back, assaulting the enemy with flocks of arrows. We also have canons and trebuchets to use in the battle. We will have healers on every side, but Ruby will be on the front lines. I'm not sure how this battle plan will go since we don't know how Glarek's army will attack. I'd say we have a 50 percent chance for this battle plan to work. If not, we attack them head-on."

Selena's second-in troop came into the tent with news on Glarek and his army.

"Princess Selena, we have found Glarek and his army quickly approaching. They will be here by morning in the plains. We have estimated at least 200 troops, maybe more. We also saw three medium-sized canons that could demolish our troops, but they seem to be a last resort. They also have Wyvern riders with them."

"I see. Thanks, Isokama. So, by what you said, we are outnumbered in troops, and the canons will make it difficult to win, but since they are using it as a last resort, we will have to take them out somehow before they have a chance to use them. This will be a difficult battle."

Selena took her time to think of a plan to get rid of the canons but couldn't think of anything. The troops partied the night away as we went to rest. We awoke to the sound of a battle horn that signaled Glarek and his army were approaching. Selena estimated they will be at the plane in 3 hours, enough time to head to the battlefield. Selena lined up all the troops to give them a speech before we headed out to the battle.

"Ok, everyone, listen up. We are outnumbered in this battle, and they have three medium-sized canons that could demolish anyone of you, but know this! We have the legendary Neon Cavaliers at our side, and we are the strongest army in the world! What I'm saying is that this battle will be nothing for us. Let's give them hell! Move out, troops!"

They all clapped, cheering Selena as she got on her horse. We all followed to the plains to fight Glarek the Orc and his army. Once we arrived at the plains, a thick fog began to roll in, making it hard to see. We heard the beat of drums, signaling that Glarek and his army have arrived. Selena told the troops to stay calm and ready their weapons. One of the troops got anxious and ran into the smoke. Selena yelled at him to wait for her signal, but once he entered the thick fog, he let out a scream and went silent fast. Some goblins ran out of the smoke, and we engaged in combat. The goblins were weak, but the fog made them dangerous. Selena fell off her horse as one of the goblins attacked her. I ran toward her and killed the goblin, putting my back next to hers as we fought the enemy.

"You ok?"

"I'm fine, but this fog is making it more difficult than expected."

As we were fighting, Selena asked If I have a skill that clear the fog around the area.

"No, but maybe I can use one of my skills to light the area."

"Try it. Light this place up."

I smiled, help up my sword in the air, and spun it around my body.

"Incineration slash!"

A large flame went in all directions, killing the enemies in its proximity and getting rid of the fog so we can see where the enemies are and attack as planned.
