WAR OF AGES: The Beginning

The Great invasion of the Empire part 8 The Preparation of the Grand Stage

Agus's men who are martial artist soldiers started to affect because they were already on their limit in spiritual power, even though they are still eager on the battlefield the effect already started to taken toll on them as the enemy soldier put on hold on the attack the Bahyang soldier switch with their rearguard who is a shield one handed-spear infantry as they are falling back, as they finished retreat to the main force to reinforce the frontier before starting the final assault on the enemy main force.

Unlike the real world, the game world has what most would call blessing thus giving chances for any NPC which will balance the game, If left alone it would break the game where the player has much more superior skill and abilities during the game. Due to the news of the sudden overwhelming loss, The Malacca was in a panic but with the presence of their emperor near them, they regroup close to the center of the hill as they prepare another attack from Agus's army.

The Rotten general who heard the news starting to get nervous and even started to ignore the order, after being threatened with execution they were forced to follow the order, and this time the soldier knew they will lose the war and die even if they put a hard struggle. The situation was already bleak for Malacca due to the massive loss but hearing the news of the noble who was supposed to defend the frontier instead he runs away from the battle, but the emperor in rather a bad mood, and when the other noble wish to speak with him an executive order was given.

Not only did they were surprised, but they were also scared to talk with the emperor as they rather choose to take a distance from him than being executed because of small slights against him. The soldier and the officer also knew they could get the wrath of the emperor if they make a mistake, thus they only give simpler reports unless given an ordered so they didn't want to incur his wrath.

With the chain of command broken, trust between subordinate and officer went, as well as the sudden appearance of fear which may become the cause of the army morale's decline.

"Alright, let's split here. Ash, you will lead the surprise unit on the Western side of the hill, and Van, you will be his second in command, Manser with Ray at the moment you will wait here and stay hidden until I gave the signal then both of you charge into the enemy line who is unaware of you", as he gives orders.

"Yes, My Lord" shouted the four young officers.

"The rest follow me to the Eastern and wait for reinforcement, another reinforcement should arrive where Ash and Van's area so join with the reinforcement and follow the order to the letter," said Agus.

"Understood, my lord," said the young officer.

"Then move out," as the army split into three groups.

As the group separated into three-part as the enemy chased the largest group of them all as they were in pursuit, the unit where Manser and Ray as they were watching the enemy passed by them as they hide within the bushes.

"The enemy is following us, My Lord," said one of the soldiers.

"Good, men hasten up were going to join with sir Fiery," said Agus as he walks to the rendezvous.

As the army walk even though prepared for a surprise attack the Force where Agus was attacked from the left side, even though the Bahyang soldier is indeed strong but their blessing was already exhausted as injuries start being inflicted upon them. Agus knowing about it quickly told his men to hasten the march before any more casualties appeared, as the enemy soldier followed them but at the same time they stayed on their distance as they started to shower arrows at where Agus's force currently is.

Prepared for such a possible event, he even ordered the men to grab the shield from when they killed the enemy soldier during the camp m******e as they quickly match for the rendezvous point, As they wait at the eastern side of the hill for the arrival of the reinforcement their. Arriving at the point Agus quickly told the soldier to get into the turtle formation against the enemy assault troop who could strike them at any moment notice, and it happens suddenly the sky turned black as arrows rain down upon them even though prepared with most of the Bahyang force mostly use no Armour unlike its apprentice with no blessing it could kill them instantly if they were careless.

As the arrow rain down few of the Bahyang force was killed instantly where they land on either head of the soldier or the chest where the heart lies on, After the arrow rain down on them another infantry unit charged out from the forest closing on to Agus before crashing. Unlucky for them, The Bahyang force's physical strength can be said no longer like a human as they are beyond the limit of humans themselves.

Not only was the Malacca soldier being were halted to a total stop but instead it bounced back to them which throw some of the soldiers back, they were surprised as they felt like crashing into a hard wall instead of a human being. They were surprised they are being pushed back by the Bahyang soldier before being suddenly stabbed by a sword come out from the hole of the shield which then stabbed the soldier to death.

At the same time, the Bahyang soldier gets closer to the enemy soldier as they were already close to surprise them and at the same time try to kill the attacker who is harassing them to stop any further assault on them. Instead of retreating or changing the order, the harasser did not waver they even pushed on, causing heavy casualties while inflicting small injuries on the Bahyang force.

Holding the line Agus heard a horn directly from their back when Agus turn his head that comes into his view was the army commanded by supposedly Albertrus and his daughter as the second in command. The cavalry charged directly on the enemy harasser's flank not only was the Malacca's soldier were they surprised, but they also could not change their formation nor do they can move away quickly to avoid it as a sudden charge which leads to total annihilation.

As the horseman from reinforcement clash with the harasser, they inflicted heavy damage killing most of the enemy soldiers while the rest soldier who survives was killed by the rest Bahyang force as the battle finished.

"My lord, pardon us for our late arrival," said Patricia.

"No worry, instead your support was earlier than I expect it and it was brilliant they were surprised by your sudden arrival," as Agus look at the coming reinforcement. "I would be glad to have good people like you." as he looks at Patricia.

"This subordinate is thankful for your praise, My lord." as she lowered her head.

"And tell your father to follow me, we are going for the final assault on the enemy main camp." Agus gives his sword and shields to his helper then grabs the two-handed spear from the other helper.

"Understood, my lord. I will immediately relay your order," as she quickly moves away from Agus.

Before the march, Agus already was preparing for battle as Agus done his Armour and grabbing his equipment comprise of a shield, a short sword, as well the new two-handed spear which is freshly from the forge. Agus once put a request for the best Smith on his entire domain before the departure, as the Smith heard the request they were in so much uproar as they were also given a design, especially from their very own lord.

Honored receiving the request from the lord not only the NPC but also even some of the players who had taken a job as Smith was driven further to craft the most legendary weapon they could create, as Agus about to departure the smith quickly walk as fast as they to fulfill the request but not in Agus's wildest dream the spear created by the craftsman were much better than the design.

The spear of what he expected was the Japanese famously known as Yari but what was brought back to him has the design from the commonly known European design which was Halberd. Due to the unique craftsmanship of the Majapahit, it has the shape of Bardiche on the front side of the pole and each deadly part of the weapon not only was refined better it also has sleeker and sharper than its ordinary class counterpart.

"Signal the other unit and ready to move out," said Agus.

"Yes, My Lord." as he signals Van and the other by an early signal flare.

"Everyone else, Move out," he shouted at his men.

The Malacca Hill of Glory was the name of the place where Agus and his army planning to enter.

Reinforced by Albertrus's army, Agus quickly march to the top of the hill from its mouth but even then small resistance was encountered but none were able to halt the advance of the main army. On the other hand, Van, and Manser join up with Lyon's army and his second in command Fiery as they also march to the top of the hill.

While at the same time, the Unit lead by Manser and Ray was planning to climb to the top of the hill and plan to flank the both West and eastern side of the enemy position. Surprised they hide to get into cover as the ridge before the hill has enemy patrol and camp near it, with a patient they get closer to the camp and prepare to attack the camp. Pulling the blade from their sheath, Manser and Ray prepare to attack the camp but suddenly signal flare appeared on the horizon which caught everyone off guard including the enemy camp which led the attack to the enemy.

After the battle ended, Manser and his men search the camp for any possible survivor while Ray and his men watch the horizon searching for any possible soldier who fleeing but as they search horizon but no soldier from the Malacca were alive and breathing as each one of them has one to three deep wound on their bodies. Among the soldier who climbs the mountain first were Ray and his men as they approached the top of the hill, slowly approaching the top of the hill as they took a sneak peek they found no one was guarding the top of it.

None from the Malacca did expect the enemy to attack from the hillside where Manser and his men at, so no one was sent to guard it which may lead the surprise attack to the enemy formation who is guarding on the Western and Eastern side entrance. To quicken their assault Ray told his men to prepare and secure a rope to a tree near the top and let the other soldier climb much faster and start the attack on the enemy formation, to disrupt their ability to defend the hill entrance before they start the attack on the enemy main camp.
