The Battle at Yan Province Part 7
After finishing of the rest of the remaining enemy forces. Our forces managed to dominate the battlefield. As word of our victory spread to the plains. The enemy started breaking down.
Little by little the enemy morale drops. They started to flee back to the northern part of the battlefield.
We took all of our forces to the northern pass to intercept the enemies retreat. The other commanders thought the same and quickly rushed towards the enemies retreat.
They wanted to claim as much glory as they can, so by the time the battle ends they would built up their merit and prestige among the other commanders.
Once we reached the northern pass. The skies darken. A dark and sinister aura clouded the pass. We met up with the other commanders pursuing the enemy near the pass.
When we got to them we couldn't believe our eyes. The lying on the ground. Of our fallen comrades litter the ground. Drowning in their own blood.
The troops I sent to block the enemies Supreme Commander was wiped out from the face of the earth without a single survivor.
And there we saw "him".
A huge figure clad in dark armour. Holding a Gigantic Halberd. His red eyes struck fear into the hearts of all who behold them. His Demonic armour strike one through into the hearts of his enemy. Only death awaits them.
He stood tall over the top of the hill overseeing the battlefield. Observing the battle unfolds in front of him. As if his waiting for something to happen, but what?
His troops are loosing all across the field. And their commanders are slain. Even I have killed his named strategist.
How could he stand there on top of his horse waiting. Not sounding their retreat nor coordinating a counter strike. He remained idle until.
A soldier on our ranks shouted.
" There he is, the enemy's supreme commander ! "
With hot blooded tenancy he charged recklessly at the enemy. With the other troops follow suit. They charged at him with overwhelming numbers, in an effort to claim his head.
The troops know that who ever brings the enemy's Supreme Commanders head will be greatly rewarded for their endeavors. They wanted to gain merits with this opportunity. They didn't think twice .
The others followed their men charging at him. However I commanded my troops to stay put.
a Cavalryman ride towards my side and asked me with an overly excited voice.
" Why aren't we joining the others! "
" This could be a great opportunity for us, if we bring the head of the Enemy's Supreme Commanders head, we will receive enough money to last a life time. "
" We won't have to work anymore, we can just enjoy the rest of our life living in peace and prosperity. "
I replied to him in a calm matter.
" Don't you find it weird that he is here just waiting on top of that hill alone. "
" With no guards protecting him, and no aide at his side. "
The cavalryman replies.
" Yes that is strange, but we can think about that later, we are missing a great opportunity here commander! "
I retort his remarks with a fearful fact.
" Before going to the Western Battlefield I was fighting in teh eastern battlefield. "
" The only way I made it quick enough to ambush the enemy from behind was by pushing through the main battlefield. "
" I took my cavalry detachment to assault the enemy's main camp, to eliminate the enemy's commander and end this battle as fast as possible. "
" However when we reached the enemy's main camp, it was deserted. "
" We found no soul in sight, we thought it was a trap but nothing happens. "
" Afterwards I sent a detachment of 500 cavalryman to intercept the enemy's supreme commander, if he made it here unscathed, what do you think happened to the 500 cavalryman I sent to stop him?"
The cavalryman replied to my question with a grim impression.
" They were wiped out. "
I replied.
" Yes. "
When the troops reached the enemy. It was already too late. The enemy Supreme commander Slashed with his halberd down into the ground. Then the ground shattered.
The troops charging at him blown back by the impact he created. Killing many, stopping their momentum at their tracks. Then he swings through the air creating a gush of wind forming a blade.
Which sliced through the troops like butter. Cutting them in half their upper torso flown back while their lower half dropped dead in place.
The shockwave echoes throughout the battlefield. Many troops dropped into the ground. Their legs gives up beneath them. As fear consumed their will to resist.
Even with my level of power the oppression was to much. I coughed up blood, as I braced myself for what's to come.
Then I realized who we're up against.

Powerful enormous to shake the heavens and the earth.
The aura of death surrounds the battlefield.
