Chapter 147 - The Battle Between the South and the North 14.

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

As soon as the northern army clashed with the southerners, both the infantry and cavalry arrived just a moment earlier. The men of the north struck at their enemies, who barely managed to maintain morale.

Even though the northerners were mostly civilians from villages and towns, the black-clad soldiers struggled to keep their shields raised as thousands of men collided with them. Cries and blood filled the battlefield as both sides fought desperately to kill one another. The northerners had the upper hand, breaking through Nilfgaard's defensive lines at several points along their first line of defense.

"Hold the line! Hold the line!" the Nilfgaardian captains shouted, desperately trying to maintain some semblance of order in their ranks as other parts of the battlefield descended into chaos.

In some areas, Nilfgaardian forces held firm, attempting to push back the northern forces. However, the northerners, having charged with full force unimpeded by lines of archers, overwhelmed many positions. Cavalry from the north broke through in several places, forcing Nilfgaardian soldiers to retreat while still attempting to keep their shields raised. Where Nilfgaard did manage to hold their ground, a brutal push-and-pull fight ensued, with soldiers from both sides locked in deadly combat.

"Come on, stand firm! Push them back and kill them! Finish them off!"

"Stay out of the north, you damned southerners!"

"For the North! Temeria!"

"For Sodden!"

"This is for what you did to Cintra!"

Soldiers from both sides roared as they tried to kill anyone who stood in their path. Even survivors of Cintra joined the northern army, throwing themselves into the fray with reckless abandon, desperate to avenge what had been done to their homeland.

While trying to fend off the northerners, Nilfgaardian soldiers shouted in their own language, incomprehensible to their enemies. It sounded like commands to hold their ground or perhaps insults hurled at the northerners.

Despite the northerners' initial advantage, the Nilfgaardians quickly reorganized, fighting with the discipline of far more experienced soldiers. They tried to regain composure, clashing swords and shields with their attackers. Those who had broken through the first line found themselves surrounded in the middle of the Nilfgaardian army, struggling to widen the breach. Gradually, the Nilfgaardians began to stabilize their positions, turning the tide slightly in their favor.

"Hold the soldiers!" a Nilfgaardian general shouted in his native tongue as he observed the situation at the front lines. Both armies continued to batter each other, with more and more soldiers dying on both sides.

On the Nilfgaardian side, their superior armor gave them an advantage in defense. They quickly began to cut down the inexperienced northern soldiers who had entered the fray.

The Nilfgaardian general kept observing the battlefield, his attention shifting to the center where the chaos caused by Madara still lingered. The area was littered with bodies and engulfed in flames. The sight of the boy standing there motionless was disconcerting. He hadn't moved but simply stared intently at the front line.

"Damn it, what should I do?" the general murmured, his eyes fixed on the boy as he tried to figure out how to handle the situation.

"Hey, you need to deal with that boy immediately! If not, we're going to lose this war!" General Menno snapped at the mages present.

At that moment, Fringilla, one of the mages, glanced sideways and noticed northern mages preparing spells. "Get ready! They're attacking us! We don't have time to deal with the boy right now!" she exclaimed.

In the next instant, shields were raised as northern mages began launching spells across the battlefield. Explosions erupted throughout the area, but the Nilfgaardian mages quickly countered, casting explosive counter-spells. The chaos terrified everyone nearby; even soldiers scrambled to protect themselves, retreating slightly from one another.

The Nilfgaardian mages nodded, seeing that everything had gone well, but then, several mages appeared through portals on the battlefield. The Nilfgaardian mages quickly prepared for the confrontation as both groups began launching spells at each other without warning in that corner of the battlefield. An intense and chaotic mage battle erupted.

Yennefer, one of the people who had appeared on the battlefield, quickly engaged in an intense fight with Fringilla. She unleashed her magic while the other mage defended herself, glaring at Yennefer with visible anger before counterattacking moments later.

Yennefer, in turn, defended herself as well, looking for an opening in Fringilla's defenses. Meanwhile, Tassia was locked in combat with Francesca, the two unleashing spells far more powerful than anyone else present.

"Get the general out of here!" one of the mages shouted, defending against enemy attacks. They knew the general could not last in a magical confrontation of that magnitude and that the army needed him. Meanwhile, spells continued to explode in the middle of the battlefield.

One of Nilfgaard's mages managed to raise a barrier, shielding the general as he was escorted to another area. The general moved with determination, unfazed by the chaos, still issuing orders to his captains, who relayed them to the soldiers. On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers and mages continued fighting, creating a scene of destruction and death, while Madara remained at the center of it all, unmoving.

He stood still, motionless, while no one in Nilfgaard's army dared to step forward to confront him. His gaze was fixed in one direction, observing faint chakra reflections rushing toward him. He remained in place, waiting for his enemies to come to him. However, his eyes quickly shifted to the mountains adjacent to the battlefield, scanning the area before fixing on a point where a glow began to emerge.

"I see… So, they're preparing to cast the spell," he murmured, as the glow drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Many began wondering what it was, while the Nilfgaardian general, observing suspiciously, hoped it was an attack from Nilfgaard.

The intelligence he had received stated that a group of Nilfgaardian mages had been sent to eliminate the northern mages. With the force deployed—20 mages and over 200 soldiers—it was believed the mission had been an absolute success, given that no northern mage had made contact with the empire again. The general smiled, confident that the spell would be aimed at annihilating the northerners.

Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted in the mountains, reaching toward the sky. Everyone, engrossed in the battle, raised their eyes to witness the scene. A rain of lights began descending rapidly toward the battlefield.

"So, this is Tissaia's spell… Truly impressive," commented General Kaelen, surprised, as Thorne nodded in agreement.

In the next moment, the lights began to fall, but not in the direction the Nilfgaardians had anticipated. General Menno's mouth fell open in shock as the spell bypassed him entirely and struck the center of his army. The explosions intensified, reaching even the area where Madara stood, creating a wave of destruction and screams of terror.

BOOM!

The explosions decimated the Nilfgaardian soldiers, reducing many to dust. The entire battlefield seemed engulfed in chaos. At least 10,000 men were killed within moments, the result of the combined attacks of seven northern mages.

It was evident that the mages had used all their strength, as all those on the mountains were utterly exhausted after casting the group spell.

"Well, we're done here. We can't stay any longer. We've used up all our power. We must retreat quickly, using the last of our magic," Coral exclaimed.

Everyone agreed swiftly, beginning to create portals and retreating through them. They hastily left the mountains, having completed their mission and in desperate need of rest.

The battle seemed to quiet down after the explosions, with everyone in shock, especially the Nilfgaardians, as they watched their men being slaughtered yet again. Their numbers were now severely diminished, causing morale to plummet as the northerners pressed on, continuing the slaughter.

"Quickly, kill the Nilfgaardians! This is an opening created by the chapter of mages!" shouted the northern commanders after receiving updates from the general. All the northern soldiers roared and surged forward against their enemy.

"Don't let them pass! Attack! Kill them! They're just farmers and primitive beings! Nilfgaard is far stronger than this!" one of the Nilfgaardian commanders yelled, trying to rally and motivate his men. But in the next moment, he was struck by an arrow in the neck, slipping through a gap in his armor. He fell as northern soldiers pressed forward, overwhelming the rest of the Nilfgaardian army.

The battle descended into utter chaos, now favoring the north, as the black-armored soldiers were pushed back and began retreating.

"We must get out of here!" a Nilfgaardian shouted as he ran across the battlefield, passing near the area where the northern mages had torn the ground apart with explosions. However, someone appeared, and with a single motion, decapitated him. The figure landed lightly atop the corpse, leaving the Nilfgaardian soldier lifeless on the ground—Madara was the author of the swift execution.

Madara stood there, motionless, atop the body, as many looked at him in fear. He seemed entirely indifferent, his gaze fixed on a specific direction, waiting for his enemies to arrive.

At that moment, someone leaped into the midst of the Nilfgaardian soldiers, landing heavily on the ground. The figure revealed himself to be none other than Kenzu, the shinobi who had previously fought Madara and wielded powers reminiscent of Kakuzu.

"Finally, we meet again, Uchiha! I swear I'll kill you this time, and I won't take a single scratch like before, damn Uchiha!" he declared, while Madara remained silent, observing him calmly.

Soon after, more figures began jumping down, one by one. A group of five men landed in front of Madara. They paid no attention to the Nilfgaardian soldiers around them, focusing their calm and curious gazes solely on the young Uchiha.

The Nilfgaardians noticed the event but were unsure of what to do or say. These strange men were clearly not their allies, yet they also appeared intent on confronting Madara. The situation grew increasingly tense and bizarre.

"So, you've finally arrived… Good. I think it's best we settle this once and for all. I trust everyone is here…" Madara said, stepping forward and leaving the corpse behind, advancing fearlessly toward the five men standing before him.

He activated his system, signaling he was ready to unleash his power at any moment. Once again, his Uchiha blood surged with excitement at the prospect of facing this group of enemies. He continued to stare them down, his crimson eyes glowing with an intensity far greater than ever before.

On that day, the entire world would come to know the true power of Uchiha Madara. No longer would he hide behind illusions. Instead, he would reveal his real and devastating strength, eradicating the group before him.
