High School Soldier
83. The two commanders fight
25 September 2321, 17:43 WIB/1914 Luan Empire, afternoon.
**
The 1st Combat Group had retreated after completing their task, although the battle they were doing was too domineering. This army had reduced 60 percent of the Empire's strength, and the rest would be faced by Sigiz's forces.
The screams of battle were heard from both armies. The troops brandished their swords and spears and raced to lash out at the enemy.
In battle, having a line of archers rain down on the enemy while approaching the troops to conduct close combat was normal for the troops of this world.
Although it manages to shoot enemies from a distance, the main weapons in battle are melee combat weapons, such as swords and battle axes as well as the dawn star. Bows and arrows were not recognized as part of the main force.
While the soldiers held off the enemy, Sigiz and his generals skillfully played their respective flagship weapons. With his spear and combination of magic, no enemy attacks hit Sigiz. Sigiz's spear eyes glow red, and add sharpness to his spear eyes.
As the enemy released a slash towards his body, Sigiz automatically protected himself with shield magic. Only a handful of soldiers wielded military magic in his army, and Sigiz was the strongest.
The Royal Archers were aiming at the exhausted generals and commanders of the enemy. By doing this, even against tens of thousands of troops, the archers could make their enemies fall apart. The archers attacked through the gaps between the shield bearers.
The shield was put together and strong enough to cover the entire body of the archers. Although heavy, they could protect themselves while fighting.
But not with Sigiz's forces, the soldiers of Arevelk Kingdom had managed to render the Empire's army without a commander. The Imperial army would soon collapse with a little force.
The cavalry troops of the Kingdom of Arevelk were a nightmare, where they easily destroyed the troops of cannons and combat equipment. Although some combat equipment had been destroyed by the 1st Combat Group.
The dragon handlers of the dragon riding army ordered their mounts to roast the Imperial army. Bursts of fire with high temperatures, making the battlefield filled with the scent of charred. Some of the bodies looked almost ripe with iron armor that was smoldering red due to the bursts of dragon and wyvern flames.
Although the bursts of fire from the wyvern were not as hot as those of a dragon, yet their flames were enough to burn a human body.
Dragons with silvery scales belonging to Sigiz, ferociously spitting fire temperature so high that it made the Imperial troops become charcoal. The dragon was already very tame, and could tell who the Imperial soldiers were and the Royal soldiers were.
There was no weapon that the Imperial army had that could pierce through the hard skin of dragons and wyverns. Only TNI weapons can kill the flying lizard. That was why the arrow attacks directed at the dragon riding troops, only became a futile thing.
The Mad Sword quickly split open the enemy's body in front of him. There was no chance for the enemy who would come face to face with Lux attacking, the girl easily split the head of the warrior like a watermelon.
Lux used several movements, such as a twisting kick that was almost the same as Nio's martial movement when fighting him. That way, no enemy would dare to face Lux and choose to run away or commit suicide.
Imperial soldiers chose to make consideration if they were against generals who possessed unique abilities in using their weapons. Killing the generals does promise an honor, but if too fixated on that goal, only death comes.
The soldiers of both armies have already plunged into the battlefield, and the choice is to die or fight until their swords or spears are destroyed, the other choice is to fight until the body is destroyed.
Rantz brutally slashed the Arevelk Kingdom warrior with his magic sword that had been coated with magic. Every now and then he casts out magic that leaves the human body shattered and leaves only blood spots.
He had yet to get used to the battle that required him to face the flying lizards. Rantz's heart was spurred to see one by one his soldiers beheaded by the enemy or burned by dragons and wyverns.
“Teachers, keep fighting. Because peace with the TNI has been in sight...!!!”
Although Sigiz's voice sounded calm, it was terrifying and frightening for the enemies who heard.
Lux had become accustomed to facing strong opponents, and he could feel the deep meaning of Sigiz's words that had made the combat power of the troops even greater.
“Whispering...!!!”
Hearing a disturbing sound, Sigiz stopped his fight after beheading an Imperial soldier.
Rantz brutally casts a magic that can destroy the human body, by making a ball of wind and trapping someone inside, then the vortex inside the ball of wind will destroy the person's body. He had already killed hundreds of Arevelk Kingdom soldiers with this magic.
However, his magic energy had yet to signify it was almost depleted after casting magic many times. It was because the Holy Land that had a huge flow of energy, and could be absorbed by magicians as an addition to magic energy.
Although Rantz's body was targeted by the archers, his shield magic could easily knock out arrows. Then he killed the archers with his brutal magic.
Rantz felt that his father would feel proud of him if he managed to get Sigiz's head. Rantz thought of something like this cheerfully as he was only a few dozen meters away from Sigiz.
Luan was full of fools bragging about their strength, Rantz was one of them.
It was true that Sigiz was afraid, but he was surrounded by brave soldiers who kept him calm. Instead of being anxious, he felt courage rushing within his body.
Rantz unsheathed his sword high, he said a few words of incantation and made his sword glow golden in color.
The sky above Sigiz was covered with countless arrows, he cast a spell quickly.
A calm wind swirled around Sigiz's spear eyes. Then a larger wind vortex spun around and made all the arrows fall to the ground.
In response to his feelings, Sigiz broke through the army carrying the flag and carrying the flag.
Sigiz aimed at the enemy flag bearers and slashed at their chests, his troops then broke through this formation and messed with it.
Although they fought with the remaining strength, Sigiz did not waver a single step. He fended off the sword, splitting the head and flying the opponent's body.
Although Sigiz was adept at playing the spear, it made no sense that he could cut through a human body with his slender arms.
The Imperial forces were pushed back, but not for Rantz. He stared intently and showed a slanted smile to Sigiz who was only 5 meters away in front of him.
“Shameful, looking at the bitch Queen in front of me is a shame.”
Rantz spoke in a sharp tone and looked at Sigiz with disdain. He released a cold air that made the troops tremble.
“Whatever you say, Prince Rantz.”
“If you give up now, I will promise you satisfaction if you belong to me.”
“No man deserves to have me, other than one man.”
Sigiz actually did not want to be inedible Rantz provocation, he calmly answered one by one statements that the man made with a hot heart.
Rantz laughed and raised his sword, he let out an air of hostility with the woman in front of him. While Sigiz smiled with confidence, as he was sure Nio saw himself from the fortress.
“Although you belong to me, I am not sure of the sanctity of your body.”
Rantz's words finally made Sigiz's blood boil, along with it his spear eyes were enveloped with a blood red glow.
Sigiz's troops became goosebumps as their queen's spear was enveloped with a blood-red glow, it was a bad omen.
“Unlike you, I understand the place and time to welcome death!”
With great fury, Sigiz ran very fast without being able to be seen by Rantz's sharp vision. No need for further ado, Sigiz held tightly to his spear and carried out an attack aimed at stabbing Rantz in the stomach.
Even with just words, Rantz had stepped on a mine that caused the strongest female in Arevelk Kingdom to unleash her true strength.
“If I have thread and needles, your rotten mouth is already sewn tight!”
Sigiz unceasingly thrust his spear at Rantz's body shrouded in shield magic. He wanted this snot prince to be unable to say anything more.
Rantz had to expend a huge amount of energy just for the sake of continuously activating the shield magic so that his body was protected from Sigiz's attacks. If he were to cast a weak shield magic, he would have been dead since the first attack Sigiz had launched.
Rantz's magic sword continued to cast wind magic that could destroy the human body, but was easily cleaved by Sigiz who had already gone berserk using his spear. Although Sigiz's armor is exposed to Rantz's magic, he does not care about it and focuses on attacking Rantz.
Sigiz continuously absorbed the magic energy residing in the Holy Land, and made his attacks even stronger. However, the reception of Rantz's magic energy began to disorganize, and weakened his shield magic.
Rantz shouted loudly, as if in this way he would grow stronger. The golden rays that enveloped his body gradually faded away.
“Damn…!!! Bitch is still a bitch-..”
“Whispering, damn.”
Sigiz stared flatly at Rantz after successfully injuring him. Sigiz thrust his spear into Rantz's mouth as he shouted loudly earlier.
Sigiz's spear pierced through the back of Rantz's head, the tip of his spear that was still stuck dripping blood belonging to Rantz. As for Rantz, his eyes looked at Sigiz with a pitiful and empty look, as his life had been at the end of his throat.
The God of War that Rantz worshipped, could not even help him even though he had made many sacrifices. Instead, the death angel messenger of the God of Death who took Rantz's life.
Sigiz's view remained strong and firm, despite killing humans in a cruel manner. However, Sigiz considered that the person he killed deserved to die this way.
Sigiz pulled his spear from Rantz's head roughly, then held it high. It indicates that the Kingdom of Arevelk won this war, with the help of the TNI.
