CHAPTER - 19

❈ Meanwhile, on General Red’s Side ❈

“Report! General Red, we’ve spotted those monsters approaching!” shouted the scout, his voice laced with anxiety.

With the troubling report from his scout, General Red immediately realised that a larger battle was about to unfold. He received the news with remarkable composure, though he knew all too well that they were about to face an immense challenge.

“So, it’s finally begun, has it?” General Red responded calmly, though his mind was already racing through strategies.

“What kind of monsters did you see?” he asked the scout, needing a clear picture of the enemies they were up against.

“We spotted over a thousand monsters heading this way. The vanguard consists of Goblin hordes, Kobolds, and Grey Wolves. The middle and rear lines are made up of more Grey Wolves, Orcs, and Red Ogres,” the scout reported, relaying crucial information.

Hearing the list of incoming monsters, General Red furrowed his brow. Red Ogres were incredibly strong and notoriously difficult to bring down. Their presence would make things far more complicated.

“Red Ogres, huh... This won’t be easy,” he murmured, already contemplating their best course of action.

Despite the daunting challenge ahead, General Red did not allow fear to show. Instead, he took swift steps to prepare his troops for the incoming assault.

“Alright, gather everyone. It’s time to prepare for battle,” he commanded firmly, ensuring his soldiers were ready to face the looming threat.

With unwavering determination, the Celestian forces braced themselves for the inevitable clash. Though they faced formidable foes in overwhelming numbers, they stood united as one, ready to defend their kingdom with everything they had.

After delivering a brief but rousing speech to his knights, General Red turned his attention to the sudden advance of the enemy. Without hesitation, the knights readied themselves to meet the oncoming threat.

Leading with steady strides, General Red spearheaded the charge against the savage Goblins and Kobolds. His sword gleamed under the sunlight as he demonstrated his mastery in combat, cutting down any foe that dared approach, allowing no chance for further devastation.

But the battle was far from over. The second wave commenced as Grey Wolves leapt over the trenches and traps laid out by the knights. Seeing this, General Red swiftly issued a command to the Guardians.

“Guardians! Step forward and block the Grey Wolves’ assault!” he bellowed, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

The Guardians responded immediately, moving into position with discipline and precision. They formed a tight formation, bracing themselves against the impending onslaught.

As the Grey Wolves lunged, the Guardians countered with swift and coordinated movements, using their shields to deflect attacks and protect their comrades. They fought with commendable bravery and resilience, unwavering in their duty to defend the kingdom.

General Red watched with pride as his knights displayed their skill and courage on the battlefield. He knew that despite the overwhelming odds, their determination and strength would not falter.

With the battlefield roaring with clashing weapons and cries of war, the Celestian knights and soldiers held their ground against the relentless tide of monsters. General Red led them with unshakable resolve, his voice rising above the chaos to issue clear orders.

“Hold the line!” he commanded, his voice cutting through the sounds of battle. The knights roared in response, standing firm against the enemy’s assault.

“Guardians, keep holding them back! Mages, burn them to ashes!” he continued, ensuring every unit played their part in the fight.

The Guardians tightened their formation, fending off the monsters’ attacks, while the Mages prepared their deadly spells.

However, the situation took a sudden turn when a scout reported an approaching horde of Orcs. These monstrous brutes, known for their raw power, posed a grave threat to the Celestian forces.

“I’LL TAKE THEM DOWN MYSELF!” General Red roared, his eyes burning with the fire of battle.

Without hesitation, he led the charge against the approaching Orcs, their heavy steps shaking the ground beneath them.

His sword flashing in hand, General Red surged forward, delivering lethal strikes with unmatched precision. His knights followed closely, attacking with unwavering resolve.

A ferocious clash erupted as the Celestian forces met the Orc horde head-on. Weapons clashed in a storm of sparks and blood, and the battlefield rang with the sounds of war.

Through superior skill and coordination, the Celestian troops managed to push back the Orcs, their courage and perseverance proving greater than brute strength alone. General Red fought at the forefront, his leadership inspiring his soldiers to stand their ground.

Yet, the battle was far from over.

After finally overcoming the Orc horde, the situation grew increasingly dire as more knights sustained injuries. Wasting no time, General Red called for the healers.

“Healers! Get the wounded to the rear! Treat them immediately! Those unable to continue fighting, assist the healers in carrying the injured!” his voice rang across the battlefield, ensuring swift action.

Meanwhile, the earth trembled under the heavy steps of the Red Ogre, its monstrous presence looming ever closer. Recognising the imminent danger, General Red turned to the archers positioned in the towers.

“Archers! Aim for its eyes!” he commanded sharply.

The archers swiftly raised their bows, taking precise aim at the Red Ogre. With practised efficiency, they loosed a volley of arrows towards its weak spots, hoping to cripple it before it could wreak havoc.

Despite the relentless barrage of arrows, the Red Ogre pressed forward, undeterred by the attacks. Realising that conventional weaponry might not be enough, General Red called upon the Mages.

“Mages, slice its legs apart with [Wind Cutter]! Knights, follow me—take them all down!” he shouted with unwavering resolve.

The Mages sprang into action, conjuring razor-sharp winds to cut through the Red Ogre’s legs, aiming to bring the beast to its knees.

Meanwhile, the knights, undaunted by the towering enemy, charged forward alongside General Red, swords at the ready.

The battlefield erupted into chaos as the Celestian forces launched a coordinated assault against the Red Ogre and its monstrous allies. Amidst the storm of combat, unity and strategy became their greatest weapons in this brutal struggle.
