Iron Willed Sister

Melissa's troops move in on the enemy, the enemy troops completely ignore Melissa and moves in on the village making an attempt to blast the walls down with magic. Melissa quickly directs her team to deal with the sorcerers in the back while the main force focuses on the split army approaching the wall.

The half of Melissa's team sent to attack the sorcerers quickly fall into a problem as they are met with barrages of lightning and pillars of fire, in that split second a giant chunk of the wall protecting the village is then destroyed as the enemy troops flood into the village, Melissa and her team move in hoping that they can fend off the onslaught.

As Melissa and her team move in part of the Pantema troops quickly realize Melissa and her team, as one of the Pantema troops scream at the top of their lungs "to hell with Ashland!!" they all raise their weapons and charge at the team. Clearly outnumbered but the hope for a brighter future rests in Arthur's hands.

Melissa and her team stand their ground as the incoming enemies quickly approach soon after both sides clash in an all-out battle, an Ashland troop impaled by a spear and a Pantema dies from an arrow through the head, Melissa slashes through the enemy troops like butter.

Her spree is then quickly ended with an arrow to the leg, Melissa open to any other attack is now a sitting duck, a Pantema charges at Melissa with a battle-axe as it comes swinging down Melissa parries it grabbing another part of the battle-axe and breaks it in two with her sword.

The Pantema is then met with a swift death as Melissa shoves her blade through his heart, more troops continue to charge at Melissa while she is almost helpless one by one the Pantemas fell, the last one of them dies slowly, one of Melissa's team members snaps an arrow that was shot at him he then shoves it into a Pantemas eye.

As he screams for mercy the snapped arrow has fully embedded itself in his head Melissa's team member then kicks the rest of the arrow in, soon after they leave to help the village, as soon as they arrive the village is still holding its own with only five members left with previously twenty there is not much Melissa can do, "follow me!" Melissa demands as the team charges into battle.

Melissa charges in her team suffering major casualties she tells the rest of her men to split up around the village and support them as much as they can. Melissa moves on to find the village chief she runs searching to only find him being strangled by a colossal man outfitted in Pantema armor, he doesn't seem like a beast nor is he-man.

She charges in grabbing out her knife, she flips the knife to where she holds it by the blade she then throws it at a Pantemas head killing him. She kicks another Pantema and grabs the knife from the dead man's head and shoves it into another's throat the hulking man drops the village chief and grabs out a club and starts to try and squash Melissa, the man swings down on Melissa, in that instant, she pulls out a little glowing blue vial and quickly puts it in between her back teeth and crushes it.

A blinding white light is then seen from Melissa as the hulking man opens his eyes he sees Melissa under his club-wielding a blue shield of pure light, moving out from under the club the shield quickly morphs into a crossbow shooting a bolt of pure light, it shatters the club in two shortly after Melissa quickly climbs up the hulking man and attempts to stab him in the heart with her sword but the sword bounces off.

The man then grabs Melissa and throws her to the ground knocking her out cold the man presumes she is dead and has no intention for overkill out of nowhere an old man with a flourishing grey beard comes along with his blade and shoves it deep into the man's nape and tearing it apart, soon after the man hulking falls over dead, the old man makes his way over to Melissa spitting on her Melissa wakes up in shock after the disgusting experience it's revealed the old man is Rolland.

Rolland chuckles at Melissa's surprise, "that's very disgusting" Melissa says "well it's either spit or water from the well or urine I'll let you pick" Melissa looks at Rolland in disgust but yet also looking at him with a lack of understanding "well sit there in shock if you like we have a war to win nice meeting you," Rolland then disappears in the blink of an eye the old man flying away in a basket.

Melissa wipes off the spit on her face and checks on the village chief to see if he's alright, she checks his pulse but there was nothing, she had a moment of silence, she then moves on to help the rest of the village. As she makes her way through the parts of the village the body count never ceased to amaze as they lost more than half of the village, everyone who still lived then moves outside to watch how Arthur fairs in the odds.
