The First Battle

"Sir it's great that you are awake but right now we are getting attacked by the Umbra Tiger Army."

"Do we know their location?"

"Yes sir they are 24 kilometers (15 miles) away."

"From which direction are they coming?"

"They are coming from the north side of the city, Sir."

"How many?"

"Five thousand sir."

"And how many are we?"

"Two thousand."

"Do we have cavalry?"

"Yes,700 sir."

"What about them, do they have cavalry?"

"Yes, sir. They have a thousand."

"…Fuck."

{What the hell is the rank of this quest? It's too damn hard!}

Jun looked at Berk and asked with a hopeful face.

"Do we have any advantages?"

"Yes, we have the upper ground in this battle, we also have more archers than the enemy."

Jun smiled and nodded then turned to Kadin.

"Do we have a gate at the south side of the city?"

"Yes,sir"

Jun's smile got bigger.

"Kadin you are going to take the civilians and take them to the palace and keep them there until this war is over. If we lose you will go out of the city through the south gate of the city."

"Yes,sir."

As soon as he ordered Kadin he left with Berk and went to the armory of the palace.

They went to the armory and found some basic armor and a long sword.

"Berk…"

"Yes,sir."

"When do you think the enemy will arrive?"

"Tomorrow,sir."

"Okay. I will take the cavalry with and put them on the left flank."

"You will take the infantry and lead from the front, and we will the put archers on the right."

"Sir,you are going to get in the battle?"

"Of course!"

"Sir you can't, it's too dangerous!"

Jun looked at Berk and said with a determined voice.

"The soldiers fight for me. For their lord, and for their families!"

"And I want to fight alongside them as their lord and as their commander"

Berk looked at Jun.

Jun thought that Berk was going to oppose again but he would still go to the battlefield.

Berk stared at Jun for five or six seconds and a smile shined on his face.

Jun got surprised but after he also smiled.

"We shall go to the battlefield together,sir."

Jun wore his armor and went to where all the troops were.

When the troops saw him they all got up and lined up in a military fashion.

Jun was nervous since he needed to make a speech to build morale.

But being nervous wasn't going to help so he started speaking.

"Tomorrow we are going to war, some of you may die, some of you will come back here alive."

The soldiers hopeful faces shattered a bit, Jun noticed that.

"…But for 1 of our deaths…will be 10 of theirs...they are more than us…"

"But no matter…we are still the tiger of these lands."

"We shall fill the skies with our arrows…and the land with their bodies."

"We will look death in the eye and tell him that...WE WILL NOT DIE TODAY, TOMORROW, OR ANY OTHER DAY!"

"FOR ONLY WE CHOOSE WHEN WE DIE AND WE CHOOSE WHEN WE LIVE!!!"

"AND WE SHALL COME BACK HERE WITH GLORY AND WITH PRIDE!"

"WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!"

"WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!"

"WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!!!"

Every soldier there shouted those words 3 times.

Jun and the soldiers were ready for battle and for death.

Now all that was needed was to wait.
