The 5 Elemental Lord
Capital gate
At the gates of the capital, there were more or less hundreds of thousands of troops standing in front of the wall with an army leader riding on a black armored horse. Not only his horse, the rider also uses black armor all over his body with a long black sword as well. No wonder, when the emperor Danze called it the Dark Knight or the knight of darkness.
But before they did a battle, or waited for the enemies of the Glacies to come, they were given a suicide sentence for their general. Which, the punishment was to hang themselves on the capital's perimeter wall.
Not a few of the troops may not be willing that his main general is doing the punishment for himself. But how else, it was an absolute order from emperor Danze that could not be challenged.
Perhaps the entire army was facing upwards and saw the hanging procession of a general. However, in contrast to the Dark Knight, he was so cynical and focused on looking ahead from behind his head protection Armor, it seemed that he had no expression at all and did not care about the death penalty for a general. Because he must stay focused when the enemy suddenly comes.
In addition, the houses of the residents outside the capital wall were also closed tightly so as not to be affected by the war. Many of them also chose to evacuate and enter the capital to make it safer, and also some were displaced further to the north or the region bordering the other Empire. Because those people knew, that the Glacies would attack the capital, so taking cover from behind the capital even seemed to be very useless.
“Teams! focus your eyes, the enemy has come!” The Dark Knight shouted in a high tone after seeing a puff of smoke that was in front. Simultaneously, the general was already hanging helplessly or rather dead.
“Wait a minute, what?” The dark knight noticed something strange from the southwest. The more he narrowed his eyes, he was shocked to find that there were thousands of arrows ready to hit them.
“Teams! protect yourself!” The Dark Knight again shouted while taking out a dark circle with a pattern. Which, the circle is a little large so that it can protect a part of his army from thousands of arrows.
But unlucky for them, not a few of them were hit by thousands of arrows, maybe not a few of the troops who also issued a darkness shield to protect themselves from the rain of arrows.
Like a rain that they had not expected at all, the Dark Knight was extremely foggy when facing the thousands of arrows, no, he was wearing a fairly thick Armor, what he was worried about was his army. If he continued to focus on the arrows raining down on them, then he would not be able to resist the enemy forces that were almost in sight.
The Dark Knight gritted his teeth. Instantly, from the shield or circle of darkness it shot a darkness towards the thousands of arrows. Thus, thousands of arrows that will fall instantly are destroyed. Who would have thought, lapse some time after the Dark Knight did it all, the arrows were endless, there were still thousands of arrows appearing.
“A quarter of the defending troops, you attack from the left wing so as not to avoid thousands of arrows. Another quarter attacked from the right wing, a quarter of the troops focused on protecting the remaining troops that would continue to advance forward, you understand!” The Dark Knight shouted very firmly, he did not expect that the enemy had quite skilled archers, even the dark knights themselves did not know where the archers were.
Just like what the dark knight said, before the enemy troops were in sight, they divided it into four armies: the left, right, center, and center wings, and the rest is to take care of those thousands of arrows that attack the main army that is in the middle.
Seeing that from a distance, Zeno smiled faintly, he did not expect that the dark knight figure could solve the problem. A little, he glanced up and saw that thousands of arrows were still falling towards the middle army led by the dark knight, while the Dark Knight and his troops still took out a shield to hold down the thousands of arrows.
Then, he also did not expect when he saw from a distance that the troops in the middle were still breaking up his army again, which was where an army led by the Dark Knight was moving towards here, he said, while the rest are destroying thousands of arrows so as not to hit the main army.
Zeno stretched out his hands in different directions, more precisely towards the enemy troops that were on the left and right wings. “Victory of a thousand winds, the last stage!”
“It seems they are quite stupid” Zeno sat down and smiled, “Should, they stay in place without dividing his army again, and focus more on making that darkness shield. Because, if my troops approach, of course the archers also stop because they can hurt my troops. But how else, I should have breathed so relieved.” Zeno turned his head towards the left and right sides after settling down thus, implying the two groups of enemies who were about to attack them from all sides many died with their bodies dismembered.
“Alright, you guys do not fear for the enemies that are on the left and right, focus the enemies that are in front. attack!!” Zeno raised his hand high when he was very close.
Looking at it all, the Dark Knight who was behind the main troops touched his face while saying, “Stupidly me, I just realized that the archer will not hurt his own partner. And, what kind of monster he is, thousands of enemies on the left and right wings just die.” The Dark Knight looked dazed, yet he immediately forgot about it all and commanded an army that was supposed to protect the main army from arrows to advance. “Serang! Don't let them to advance!”
The sound of the sword's thump sounded so loud, there was even the sound of a scream that was probably a sword's slash. Many of them also brought out an element of darkness from the enemy, and the ice from Zeno's side. Although it seems, if if the elements clash, Zeno's side has a little difficulty facing the elementalist darkness.
The reason Zeno did not issue a thousand wind incisions to this army, of course it was because he did not want to spoil his troops, if his troops continued to fortify it all because of Zeno's technique, which was not the case, then they would not be able to develop, so Zeno allowed all of them to fight.
Zeno continued to spur his horse to enter the gates of the capital, hoping that he would want to meet his main enemy, as he was sure that there were no troops already inside the gates of the capital. But who would have thought, suddenly the Dark Knight suddenly appeared with his horse blocking Zeno from entering.
Spontaneously, Zeno drew his sword from the sleeve, slashing the Dark Knight directly in front of him. But unfortunately, the Dark Knight managed to hold back the Zeno sword which the Dark Knight himself coated his sword using an element of darkness.
As a result, their swords clashed to the point of producing such a loud bang. Even so, the Dark Knight was slightly startled as an ordinary sword that was only coated by a whirling wind could withstand the sword force that was coated in the element of darkness. With great energy, he drew his sword back and slashed it towards Zeno.
