Age of Heroes

THE NEXT MORNING

The morning begins with the sound of the horn bugle. Today, the battel begins once again. Arial troops readily and quickly went out of our camp.

The last night rain while it has slowed did not end. The rain falls as the killing and fighting continued on. Arial forces push forward attacking the forces of Alderam

Arial uses his advantage. His strong cavalry fighting an infantry division, the conclusion of such battle is no surprise.

Alderam could not bring out his cavalry out since it would only play to his own weakness.

Arial Vermont on the other hand, had a lot of horses since he bought them from Asteros traders and even warhorses from Vorthy who is quiet resistant to the cold.

The Vermont military itself invest a lot in horse breeding

With such cavalry, Arial force tore through their formation and slaughter the enemies like they were human butcher.

Today Lord Alderam did not join the battle.

Lord Edward of Warpinch and Lord Cliff or Mercia who came with reinforcement of ten thousand strong troops join them today but the advance of the Vermont forces could not be halted.

The siege weapons are also targeted by the enemy's forces but thankfully West have put a tortoise formation using some of Kyle troops to protect the siege division.

The thunders boomed hard and strikes as their deep fear came swelling at intervals high above the pelting of the pitiless storms as rain and blood is undistinguishable among the gore and violence of war.

The groaning of the dead, some hacked by axe, some crushed by hammer, some slashed with swords, all inflicting terrifying injury become a scenery in this merciless arena of life and death.

No words are adequate to express the sublime emotions that is felt here in the second day of fighting.

'IF YOU DARE, COME HERE!' Arial yelled to Lord Edward on horseback

Lord Edward, hearing this taunt, could not hold back his emotion and then rides out.

He rides on a black horse, against the advice of his vassal lords, sally out of his protective circle and went to meet Arial.

Arial smile and then he brought his horse closer to the lord. The lord looks at Arial, his posture is haughty and his eyes is full of disdain

'Circle us!' Arial yelled. Arial cavalry unit understand.

Lord Edward understand as he too wanted a one on one battle with him

Then he snorted and said

'I will kill you Arial Vermont! Rip you to a thousand part and threw your flesh at Argan River as an offering for my Knights death at Berth!'

He shouted, spits fly out of his mouth

'HAHHAHA…That is my line, Edward!' Arial said smirking.

And finally as the encirclement is complete they look at each other.

Outside the circle, Arial troops and Lord Edward troops are all looking and glancing at each other.

They are not to interfere in their battle of honor between two lords.

Whoever wins or lose, after this fight the battle will resume, one of their army will have increased morale, the other will be devastated and lose their chain of command.

Edward snorted and then he brought out his large sword behind his back.

HYARGH! He shouted as he kicks his horse. The horse runs fast toward Arial. He swings the sword to Arial head.

The swing causes the sound of the wind to rip. Arial only smirks as he channels his internal energy in his body.

He raises up his word and with his internal energy coursing through his body, Arial took the blow of that large sword.

CLANG!

The clash created a loud sound and sparks of fire.

Then almost a moment later, Edward sword crack and exploded.

Arial sword was also the same.

While he himself was able to handle the impact of that attack, the sword could not.

Edward on the other hand frowned.

He was almost thrown from his own horse while his army looked in worried expression but he manages to take the reins and stabilize himself on the saddle.

His face was of disbelief

'A sword' he yelled and one of his soldier throws him one

'A spear' Arial yelled and one of his troops throws one to him.

Edward and Arial look at each other and at the same time they shouted to each other

'AGAIN!'

Meanwhile, the soldiers that is looking at this battle began talking to each other.

'That was-'

'Unbelievable!'

'A kid just-'

'Truly the dragon!' The enemy's forces whispered among each other while Arial troops just smile. They are used to it.

'HAHAHA. I heard people said that with the heavy sword on your hand you are unbeatable. I guess your reputation precedes you. It felt too light. Your swings are weak and your aims are faulty' Arial laugh trying to provoke him.

Edward just snorted in dissatisfaction.

Once again he positioned himself in his horse, looking at Arial, staring at him like a storm brewing in his heart.

Arial must admit that the lord is very adept in horsemanship.

He then smirks and then without warning he lunged with his horse rushing to Arial with incredible speed trying to pierce him with the sword

Arial immediately knows the sword technique with one glance.

'It is the Sword Piercing Moon!' He thought to himself

Lord Edward must have travelled the martial art world if he knew such technique. Arial however was not panicked.

His horse might be fast and agile, but Lord Edward is not the only one that possess such horse.

Firebringer is aggressive and faster than his horse and as the horse charged at him, Firebringer moves slightly to the side.

Aril took the chance to quickly deflect his pierce with a circular motion using the spear.

Circling Storm.

It is a technique created especially for spears user employing internal energy to dull the impact and deflect attack.

The sword was forced to went out of trajectory which elicited a reaction of shock in the eyes of Lord Edward

Arial was about to follow that motion with another attack on his blind spot.

But Edward was observant and he realized it quick.

He notices that the spear is about to hit his arms so he turns his body slightly to the left and but parry it with his swords,

Arial was impressed.

Then this motion turns into a full-fledged strike between the two.
