War Plan

Just for two individuals the Kingdom was on its standing on its toes. Mercenaries who were lax now being trained into shape.

Those who have aptitude for magic have already been placed on the Kingdom walls.

All mercenaries were ready to spill blood.

They had been served high quality food for they were going to war.

Delcado had an half a day to work with. During this he contacted all the allies he could.

Many big shot names arrived to the Kingdom of Gold.

Such as Jack the Ripper.

Guy Emerson the Sharpest Marksmen.

Niro the Dragon Hunter.

Thoth the strategist.

And.

Aroth the magician.

And many unorthodox names also came forward to help.

One of them was that of a necromancer most skilled in his village.

He disappeared from the pages of history but he suddenly reappeared and began to make waves.

Now stronger with his art than ever.

Jinka the bone magician.

Whoever met him said that he would be surrounded by a dark aura. An aura that felt like Abyss.

Truly befitting of someone using an unorthodox form of magic.

Captain :

I think this much should be enough.

He surely can't get through this much firepower.

Why don't we target him while he's asleep.

That night two whole squads of mercenaries stormed the inn Jay was living in.

They came back with their morale broken but they had no bruises or cuts on them.

Captain :

What happened why are you back. And why are you crying.

One of the mercenary spoke.

Mercenary :

We stormed through the front door and one entered through the windows.

But the whole room was trapped. There were knives, flamethrower, oversized sledgehammer. No one was left who came out uninjured.

Captain :

But you're fine.

Mercenary :

When we retreated they blocked our path and instead gave us potions and sent us off.

And when he gave us potions he smiled at us. That smile brought the same nightmares back. Smile not filled with malice but love.

He even gave us gold coins. And made us promise to now fight him again.

And all of us are terrified to even face him now.

Captain :

You are mercenaries not lowlifes. We make other fall in fear and despair not yourself fall in the pit.

Captain :

I'll report this to Delcado. You're dismissed.

What had actually happened.

Jay was discussing or rather narrating movies with McElroy.

Jay :

There's one movie I once saw. I don't remember it's name fully but I think it was.. Right it was Home Alone.

Era :

Classic Christmas movie.

McElroy :

So what happens in this one.

Jay carefully and delicately explained the entire movie.

And McElroy summarized it in a few words.

McElroy :

So basically this small kid sets up traps inside his house using household items to drive out intruders. I get the gist of it.

Era :

I would love to see it in theaters myself. But now it's a old movie.

Era :

What about we recreate some of the traps.

Jay :

Who will we be trapping.

Era :

Fresh blood is coming at somewhere around 10.23pm.

And inspiration struck Jay's head.

Jay :

It will be deadly.

And that's how the mercenary squad was wiped out just by traps alone.

But that raised concern to the crushed morale of the soldiers.

And their captain was to answer.

Captain :

I had sent two squads to finish them off. And they returned without a single Injury.

Delcado :

So I assume they were dealt with.

Captain :

Quite the opposite. Our morale has been crushed by them.

So they won't be participating in the battle. They've been mentally crushed.

Delcado :

Before I crush you mentally begone from here.

Captain :

Sorry boss.

And the captain hurried out.

Delcado :

They think I'm a moron to call an army to crush one person.

Aroth :

You called me here to finish one person. I don't think so. Moresi I have quite the frightening information for you.

According to my sources these men have been in contact with the Fire King.

But rest assured he won't be making any contact.

Delcado :

Is he the one rumored to be the disciple who trained under many masters to hone his craft.

Aroth :

Take a deep breath. I'm here with you. I won't let him touch the walls. Just lure him off the grounds.

And with my strategy. He will be not even last.

I am placing the marksman at an advantageous position where the enemy will not expect.

Guy Emerson a marksman who can differentiate target and friendlies from kilometers away.

He is said to have shot a target which was 3.5 kilometers away from him in an disadvantageous position.

Jack the ripper an excellent murderer will try to assassinate him while blending with the mercenaries. He is one of the serial killers no one has been able to track.

Niro the dragon hunter will serve a defensive position.

He's experienced in battle for more than 16 years. And they say he can manifest fire in his blade. Which gives him an edge in armed combat. He weilds a long battleaxe which enables to make powerful blows on the enemy.

Even if Niro is defeated Our last line of defense would be

Aroth the magician.

A magician with the casting speed of lightning.

It takes him only 1.2 seconds to cast one spell.

His staff amplifies his attacks even more.

Aorth can cast many spells from every elements.

And lastly Jinka the bone magician.

A name heard after a long time. He's an unorthodox magician who specialized in making skeletal soldiers.

After his return it is evident that his power has grown since last time.

He holds this black aura which feels like abyss and death.

And lastly me Aroth the strategist.

I have completed all my calculations and I am ready to command the flow of battle.

Aroth :

Today you can sleep well, because tommorow victory will be yours.

Oh and after you win. It will time to fulfill the other end of the deal.

Delcado :

What rounds will the marksman be using.

Aroth :

Of course high penetration bullets don't work but I hope explosive rounds do.

Aroth :

Sleep. Well. Death Whistle. Tommorow we have a long day.
