The End of the World - Story I
Battle: Western Section (1)

...~ ◊ ~...

On the other hand, the western end of the desert. Now the relief force from the capital of the Angkara Kingdom led by a female Knight, Sodha the Pinandita with 12,000 Infantry troops, 8000 Cavalry, 5000 Artillery, and 300 elephants are preparing to fight against 5000 Canis and Panthera soldiers.

In a gloomy afternoon, Hayawan's army began to growl. The dark sky is cloudy, making the field more tense. Slowly raindrops wet the desert with moisture. Claws and fangs began to sharpen. Prepare for a decisive battle.

The precipitation evaporates with the heat of the burning desert. Elicit a fog of steam that soars in space. Cover a full line of large troops lined up neatly in front of them.

A streak of rain and thick fog enveloped the entire terrain. Adding to the horrors in the imminent battle.

The sharp smell of the Hayawan Nation is disturbed by the swift rain. But the fog is favorable for the impromptu attacks of the ‘Bayan’.

Canis's forces begin the battle with a sneak attack behind a gripping fog. One by one the enemy soldiers fell into the darkness. It left a scream that echoed along the battlefield.

The enemy began to fear. I don't know what attacked. Suddenly many of their comrades were killed in the obstructing fog.

Canis's army is like a shadow. Killing secretly, making the enemy confused, swinging the sword of freedom, but instead slashing the comrades in arms.

The Panthera troops did not remain silent. They began to run over the opposing cavalry. Tear off the riders' heads, release the bridle. Make the enemy troops scatter.

But the arrows of the enemy began to be launched. No need to aim at the target, they released arrows carelessly towards the fog that darkened the view.

Hayawan soldiers easily avoided it. He quickly killed his archer. The enemy's front troops were getting worse.

They also continued to attack the enemy's middle forces. But the spears were launched from a huge thrower. Penetrating the fog grains in the air, the spears quickly penetrated the body of the Hayawan Nation that was crashing.

Blocked with great spears, the Hayawan Nation fell down and fell violently. A summary rang out from those who were pierced by spears that shot out from the lined throwers.

Tigris, the Tiger girl seemed confused to see her colleagues die hit by a spear from behind the gripping fog.

Blood was flying over the ground he was treading. The rain immediately swept out a red patter with him. His glittering silver feathers were now stained with mud and blood from the veins of his comrades who had perished before him.

This 12-year-old girl is fighting for a fateful destiny. Her dream of adventure is now a nightmare in the midst of a terrible war.

Although he was raised to be a Hayawan Nation soldier, he remains shaken to see his comrades one by one begin to fall.

He was only able to continue running through the rain while trying to avoid the spears that continued to be launched.

Shortly afterwards there was a loud bang and a cracking sound. The enemy's spearmen lined up now one by one began to be destroyed.

Assistance from the forces of Zeni Devision VII has been launched. Huge flying stones smashed into the enemy's battle equipment from the direction of the cliff beside them.

No more spears were launched. Now Hayawan's forces can return to attack. Together with the arrows launched from the army of comrades, they again pounced on the opposing ranks.

The enemy troops fell back. The Tigris and his comrades prepared to continue the battle. With the support of Antara and his troops, will greatly help their movement.

But the problem came back. Now the body of the Tigris is thrown by the swing of the trunk of an elephant that is facing the front.

Not staying silent, Antara troops also helped by launching large spears from above to kill the elephants.

Elephants began to fall down after being hit by large spears launched. The Tigris tried to fight back by climbing up the elephants' bodies and killing their riders.

Elephants who lost their riders are now moving irregularly and running all over the battlefield. Even stomp and throw down the line and the horses of the opponent. After that they had to die from being hit by the spear launched from the aid division.

After a long time of fighting, the fog and rain began to subside. The view also began to be clearly visible throughout the field of action.

The blood that pooled. Bodies lapping. Head detached from body. Full body bites and scratches. The body was destroyed because of the elephant doing the stampede. Everything started to show after the rain and the fog started to disappear.

The Tigris who saw all those horrible and disgusting sights could only stand dumbfounded along with the body that kept trembling.

It was only this first time that he saw such a terrifying battle. Although she had been trying to get used to fighting and death, she was still an inexperienced little girl.

Thinking about how many lives he had lost, how many heads he had smashed, and how much grief he might have thought unthinkable, made the girl continue to tremble in fear.

“Tigris!! Tigris!! Tigris!!”

A faint voice sounded. But he couldn't digest it properly. He is still fixated on the situation around.

“Tigris!! Tigris!! Tigris!!”

Call back shouted. But now accompanied by a shock on his shoulder that was still tense. Instantly the girl awoke from the daydream.

“We must retreat! The relief forces of Devision VII have been destroyed!”

Lupus yelled at him who still couldn't digest the situation.

“A-what do you mean they were destroyed?” tigris asked, still confused.

“See that!” said Lupus while pointing at the cliff where Antara and his troops should be.

Yes, ‘should have been’, because now that cliff is no longer there. More precisely still there but with a shape that is no longer the same.

The cliff is now collapsing. The forest above it fell. It only left a huge avalanche that shattered and collapsed.

“What really happened?”

The young tiger was astonished to see the apparition before him. What a tremendous destruction.

“The enemy launched a terrible weapon to destroy the cliff,” replied Lupus. “After the cessation of rain and the loss of fog, it seems that they found out if we got help from the direction of the cliff. Now we're desperate.”

“How can? Didn't we lead the battle all this time? We even managed to defeat the elephants. How can conditions suddenly turn around this fast?”

“Entahlah. We must retreat first!” lupus.
