May 14, 1163 Zaenium.
North Fortress, Capital of the Zamara Kingdom.
Morning time.
Shortly after Duke Fazerin de Zerestia's forces reached the North Gate, the Duke immediately questioned the current conditions to the envoys of the four Nobles. General Kazor explained it to him.
“The enemy forces have not attacked yet, but their music has already tempered the guts of the troops,” General Kazor concluded his report.
The Duke just agreed. War music is an elite thing. It has to do with a culture that has evolved a long time. All this time they had only heard about the war music of the Great Empire of Zaenia and the Kavizen Theocratic Empire. But, the war music of the monster kingdom?
Even the Zamara Kingdom focuses more on the use of musical instruments as a means of communication. Although they also have some simple music that can be used to raise the morale of the troops.
Considering the conditions, the Duke then ordered that the communication division also listen to their music. The battlefield was heated with music from both sides.
“Want to fight in a war song first? Its alright. I'll be doing!” Laciel smiled in his command tent when he heard the sound of Zamara Kingdom music.
Laciel then ordered that the war anthem of his troops be changed after listening that the Zamara Kingdom also began to play a more coordinated war song. The song that was originally slow is now a fast rhythm. His voice also doubled because the previous Laciel song team took turns playing the song, now playing it together.
In addition to the more violent, fast, and regular rhythm of the song, Laciel also began to coordinate his troops to attack. The Main Force led by Garnamtiar began to run in formation.
The soldiers above the fortress saw the monster army begin to move closer to them.
“Mr Duke, they are starting to move closer,” said Kazor who stood beside the right Duke of Zerestia.
“What should we do, Mr Duke?” asked Marquis Falimus beside his left.
The Duke of Zerestia was silent for a moment. Drifting in his mind.
“We will survive! Prepare the archers!” shouted the Duke gave the order.
The troops holding the instruments began to play their instruments, giving signals to the entire army, especially the archers.
“Prepare archers!” shouted the few Commanders who were at some point after listening and translating the given message. Give instructions to the surrounding troops.
The monster army began to approach. Their distance was now only about 300 meters left before entering within the shooting range of the arrow. However, the forces of the Zamara Kingdom could not feel calm either. The Duke then sent another message to immediately attack as soon as the enemy entered the firing range.
By the time the monster army had entered, another signal was given. Instantly hundreds of arrows shot up flying, filling the sky, raining down on the enemy. However, it was not enough to take down the vanguard Main Force filled by the hard-skinned Orcs wearing their battle gear. All of them had only minor injuries without the death of a single one.
Archers change position. The other archers came forward in their place. Firing hundreds of other arrows at enemy troops. Some Orcs eventually suffered heavy injuries. There were some whose eyes had become blind. As planned, Dryad the Healer emerged from the army and flew into the sky. He began to heal the army of monsters.
Dryad did not come alone. He is accompanied by Hanafsah who protects him. For a while Hanafsah still used the form of several bats that follow Drayd. Then she changed into another beautiful woman with bat wings behind her back.
“Mr Duke, what the fuck are they?” tanya Kazor was confused there were two creatures resembling ‘human’ from the monster army. “Are they Demon Kings?”
The Duke fell silent before opening his mouth to answer, “I have never seen them. Previously none of them at the Battle of Redwood.”
Indeed the Duke of Zerestia had never seen them. So did his subordinates who survived the Battle of Redwood. It was because Hanafsah had only entered the ranks of Laciel's subordinates since the war in the Beastman Empire after the Battle of Redwood. And Dryad? He was even just on the summon last night.
Not waiting for a response from the enemy, Dryad began to heal the army of monsters. The wounds experienced by the Orcs began to improve. Although his magic range could not reach the troops that were on the outskirts, far from him.
The Duke of Zerestia was surprised to see Dryad create and already activate the magic circle, despite not knowing what the effect would be. Whatever it was, he thought it must not be something good. He then gave another order.
“Shoot him!” shouted Duke.
Signal given. Archers who felt they could reach him began to point his arrows at Dryad, and shoot. Hundreds of arrows flew towards him. Before it could get close, the hundreds of arrows bounced off in the other direction as if touching something hard or being reflected off by something.
“Stay continue your heal. I'll protect you. Don't mind them,” Hanafsah told Dryad after activating magic that bounces arrows.
Until the Orcs finally touched the fort, none of them had been killed. The Zamara Kingdom army went into a panic. They did not think that the enemy could still survive.
“Prepare the second troop wave!” shouted the Duke of Zerestia giving orders.
The first wave is an arrow. Although weak, but the shooting range is the furthest so far. And if his weak attack was not effective, it would be useless to exhaust the arrow.
After the signal was given, the troops on top of the fortress changed people.
The compositions of the second wave forces were Witches, Spearmen, and Oilers. Magic attacks are powerful indeed, but few can be thrown in great distances. That's why they go into the second wave, not the first. The Spear is another version of the Archer. Spear is bigger and stronger than an arrow.
Last is the oiler. It was an army that had the task of dousing the enemy troops under the fortress with hot oil that was still boiling and had just been heated. Combined attacks from them can only kill Orcs in one attack before being healed by Dryad.
Seeing that Dryad's ability was not very useful, Hanafsah invited him back to Laciel's side. In the distance, Laciel had already received news of the second wave of Zamara Kingdom troops from Wraith.
