As those creatures had flown, a dozen Dragons descended from the sky above, as well as a hundred more Harpies carrying a few Hobgoblins each. Even though Valverno may have thinned a few numbers, there were a larger number of creatures coming their way.
Valverno landed on the close to the village. Then he looked at the creatures running on land and still a large portion not engulfed by his dragon fire was still charging. The creatures divided on land resembled back into one unit and leaving the weak to die in the flames.
It seemed Valverno was going have to fight on his own. Teutates seemed not to fight by his fight. The Council of Three didn’t to have an army beside them. And the rulers of the Dragons, Unicorns, Pegasi, Fairies, and Centaurs could fight, but Valverno had no high hopes they would fight.
Then there was a horn that blown in the wind.
Everybody dropped what they were doing and began to take shelter from the invading forces. Soldiers started to assemble at once while the civilians were taking refuge of hidden doors built in the nearby mountain peaks.
The creatures seemed to have slip away from view. The Dragons were slowly assembling behind the Dragon King, as did the other creatures assembling behind their natural ruler. They all moved slowly from a heavy crowd of people running in their path.
Sora went running to Valverno’s side, intending to help her brother of the oncoming attack. “I’m seeing this to my death, Elder Brother. You got me into this, and so I’m staying with you.”
Valverno smiled saw a union of three different flags represent heads of three different animals: eagle, cheetah, and lizard; he saw the three clans charging out into the fight. The three clans dropped what they were doing and charged right into battle, and to join Valverno.
The Eagle Clan (consisting of scouts wearing leather armor and light-metal helmets holding shortsword and holding small shields) split into three formations, as the Tigress Clan (the clan with female warriors wearing heavy armor and leather-plated skirts) charged forward with rectangle shields and pounded their shields into the ground, and the Cheetah Clan (with long spears and archers with no helmets and long red capes) plundered their spears between the maidens’ shields while the archers assembled behind the spearmen and shield-maidens.
He underestimated the villagers of the Northern Region; there were soldiers in the village all along, and didn’t bother to show themselves until a big fight were to happen. So the months he saved the village some people took the time to train with real weapons; and they seemed to have trained in the winter season.
They all shouted great war cries. For a very long time those people have been enslaved by an evil menace. They manage to get their freedom when Valverno ended their enslaved lives, and they were now a free people. The soldiers rallying to his side weren’t going afraid to lay down their lives to stay free.
Now Valverno had his army at the ready and were awaiting his command to strike. This was the first time Valverno had his own small army, so it was going to be a challenge for him. Although he does know the harsh truth of the coming battle, there were going to be some deaths in the upcoming battle.
A lot of lives are going to be lost when the battle was going to happen. And he and his army were going to be facing with two humanlike gigantic species, along with two species very lion-like species.
This was human against large and powerful beasts with brute strength. The soldier’s shields and small pointed spear tips weren’t going to be enough to
Then Valverno pointed high his sword and the archers took aim at once. Hundreds of archers were ready to unleash a volley of arrow upon the charging creatures, both on land and in the air.
When the creatures neared them, Valverno threw down his sword and the archers released their arrows. A large swarm of arrows were released at once and the archers released many more after the first round.
As the arrows rose above the ground, Valverno waved his left hand and sent out a heat wave of fiery sparks at each arrow soaring past him and directly at the creatures coming to him and his army. He lit each arrow with a great magic flame hot enough to melt rock into liquid lava.
And with each arrow lit with magical fire and soaring past him, the fiery arrows landed upon the creatures. A few of the Manticores (lions with scorpion tails) and their lion-cousins, the Chimeras (with a loin face as the first head, a goat or tiger as a second head and the body of snake as its tail) felt the pain of the flaming arrows falling down upon them.
The Cyclopes and the Giants felt the arrows nothing but ant bites. Their hide must have made them immune to such magic power they would deem very weak and continued to charge forward.
A few of the lion-like monsters fell beneath the arrows, but many more of them were still charging forward to the small army.
Valverno saw the arrows he was adding his magic power wasn’t strong enough to bring down the monsters approaching them. He was using magic from his half humanity and not his divine power from his half divinity. Then in a second, he closed his eyes and reopened them to have them glowing white; his divinity persona took over and shot more fire power at the flying arrows.
Now the arrows flying pass by shot down more of the beasts and the gigantic humans. More and more had been felled by Valverno’s divine influence.
Just then Valverno stomped on the ground and sent a powerful shockwave vibrating into the ground. This sent some of the charging creature flying off into the air.
