Dragon Soar To The Sky (Rewrite)
Civil War (Civil War)
The ultimatum of the Polac family, who refused his arrest, posed a threat to the kingdom. Polac plainly declared war against the Knight's army.
Of course this made the Guardian Deovare family head into a rage, and sent one of his family members to lead the war against Polac.
Noir Deovare is the son of the Deovare family strategist. His reputation was not inferior to the other Guardian members. His sword talent appeared when he was only 3 years old, making himself one of the outstanding generations in the kingdom of Estora.
Meanwhile, on the way to the Polac residence. Noir Deovare, the Royal Commander, and Vallen, as well as the three Tier 3 Knights were on horseback, while 500 more Tier 1 Knight troops walked behind them.
"Noir-sama, with 500 Tier 1 Knight troops. Can we defeat the mercenaries of Polac?"
"Don't worry Commander. We're gonna play it carefully, after all Polac's a cunning man. I'm sure he's set up some tricks to beat us."
"Yes, you're right. Only with special strategies can we fight them."
"Oh, Vallen. According to your report, Polac has a very dangerous parasite, right?"
"That's right Noir-sama. Polac has a Shaman who can control a variety of parasites, one of which is called Brainworm."
"Hehm, Brainworm is a very mysterious parasite. After the cold war 5 years ago, this parasite suddenly disappeared somewhere. And now he's showing up again in front of us."
"My lord, Brainworm is a very dangerous parasite. We should be more careful when passing through the swamp area later."
"You're right. Since Vallen already understands the terrain here, I hope you can make a good contribution here."
"Ready, Noir-sama."
As it was late at night, the troops decided to rest. They build tents, cook, and organize strategies.
Vallen gathered with Noir, Commander, Knight 3 in a tent to discuss.
"So that's the terrain we're going through, Noir-sama."
"Hehm, this is a very good field for the state of our troops. And you're explaining that there's a very dangerous place, which is in the swamp?"
"That's right. A humid place, home to parasites, and some wild animals. What I'm worried about is, these parasites are already controlled by the Shaman who's there, so we have to be careful when we go through that swampy area."
"Hehm, you're right. Although the reports regarding the enemy forces are already known, it would be better if we take the phase slowly."
The night was very quiet, there was no sound of animals, nor the wind.
"Tonight feels very calm, the quiet horn makes the atmosphere more gripping."
Unpleasant feelings began to approach all the troops.
"Noir-sama, I feel that something is approaching."
"Are you sure, Vallen?"
"Not wrong anymore. It's a group of parasites."
"....!!!!"
Suddenly a scream came from the guard.
"Have they come? Noir-sama, you better stay inside the tent. Let us Knights take care of the intruder."
"All right, I leave it to you, Vallen."
"Okay, my lord."
Vallen rushed out, and observed the circumstances.
"All the Knights are gathered, protect the noble Noir."
"ALRIGHT...!"
The Knights immediately gathered, and formed a circle to protect Noir's tent along with the Commander in it.
Vallen touched the ground then activated magic to find out the various movements above the ground within a radius of 1 KM.
(There were 3 parasite control people, and hundreds of worms approached the tent. Some worms had already killed some of the Knights who served as guards outside the area.)
"It's very troublesome."
(O Fire Spirit, form a wall as my night protector)
"Flamewall."
The wide-scale fire magic finished memorized by Vallen. The fire formed a Barrier that surrounded the entire tent, and protected the Knight inside. Parasites will not be able to enter the tent area.
"It's time to say hello to them."
Vallen jumped over the wall of fire, and darted out toward the 3 controllers.
Vallen closed his eyes, and raised the sensitivity of all the senses.
Some parasites try to attack Vallen, but all can be destroyed in an instant.
Those controllers sensed that someone had directly lunged at their formation.
"Hey. There's someone who made it through our herd of worms."
"No problem, maybe he's wearing some kind of trick. Don't let go of our formation."
Meanwhile, Vallen ran towards them.
(Their positions are triangular, one in front, the other two are left and right.)
Vallen observed the surrounding area, and felt something.
"Oh, I just found out that they can also control this animal."
(Giant Worm, huh? They're too low.)
Vallen was blocked by 2 giant worms, his mouth open with sharp teeth.
"You're so annoying."
The worm let out a clucking sound, then directly attacked Vallen.
Vallen jumped up, and memorized wind magic.
(Spirit of wind, lift up my enemy.)
"Windhow."
A huge wave of wind lifted the worm into the air. Vallen crushed Kusanagi and slashed the two worms.
"Mikazuch..."
The slash was so fast that it dissipated the blue electric aura in its slash path, and instantly split the worm's body.
"Blueeghggh..."
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Damn it, that guy killed the Giant Worm easily."
"WHAT...!! Hey, we gotta go."
Before they leave.
"I found you..."
"Huh? Who's that there."
"Where are you? Out now...!"
"I'm here..."
"Hoah, what is it?" Pointing something.
From behind the silent darkness, there was no wind, no moonlight, only the sound of footsteps, and the sparkling radiance of two blue-colored eyeballs.
"Y....!!"
Vallen emerged from the darkness with a wide laughing face.
"I-Devil.... He is the Devil."
"His voice calls the Devil to someone. Are you not the real Devil?"
"Yes....!! I beg you to let us go, we will give you whatever you want, money, treasures, artifacts. Whatever it is I'm gonna do."
"Hoo-hoo... You guys are so good. Then hand over whatever you have."
"Well, this is all we have."
The three people threw bags containing gold, jewelry, and ring artifacts.
"All right, we're going."
"Who told you to go?"
"Huh? Sir, we've fulfilled your request, what more do you want?"
"It is true that you are fulfilling my request. But, I never said I agreed to let you go."
"People-understanding...!! Feel this...!!"
"Too many bacots."
SRRIING....!!! The sound of a sword slash.
In one move, all three heads were instantly severed from their bodies.
(I'm sure these three people were just as experimental rats, they were sacrificed to find out the enemy's strength.)
"Basic rebels. Their nature is always the same, that of cowardice."
(They must've put spies around here.)
Suddenly, there was a bird flying.
"Meet you."
Vallen immediately caught the bird, and gouged out the animal's eyes.
Somewhere else.
"Damn, that guy's still alive.."
"Joan, do you know about that guy."
"Dad, that's the guy I told you about yesterday. But I'm sure I cut off that guy's head. How come?"
PLAQUE...!! Orev slaps Joan
"So this is all because you let the rat roam our area. Because of you, those Knights know about our moves. YOU'RE BEING INSOLENT, JOAN..!"
"I'm-I'm sorry dad."
"Well, we can't go back to the starting point anymore. We proceed as planned."
"Oh, Shaman. Have you found that strong man?"
"Yes, of course, sir. He's a very powerful ally."
Orev saw the ally.
"Haha... I don't know how you got this powerful ally, Shaman."
"D-He is..." Joan was terrified to see the man.
Vallen returned to the tent, and unleashed his fire magic.
"Mr Noir."
"Oh, Vallen. How's it going in there?"
Vallen reported everything he had faced.
"So it's like that. As I felt, some of these Artifacts are quite good in strength. By this proves that the equipment of the Polac mercenaries is already excellent."
"But Noir-sama, this is...?"
"You're aware of that, aren't you, Commander? The Polac family was on a border away from the Royal Capital. However, how could he gather so many troops who had above standard equipment? The answer to all of this is pretty easy. That is, he got help from someone who was in another country."
"With the existence of this Shaman, I don't know how many people have been affected, and participate in financing the soldiers."
"Will this country start a war against our Kingdom?"
"If this is indeed an Invasion, then this scale is still too small. Since we can expose Polac's rot, eventually their plan to attack with great force becomes compromised."
"That means Vallen is the most meritorious person because he can get the most important information from yesterday's investigation."
"That's right. After we finish and successfully carry out this mission, I will personally meet the King, to raise Vallen to become a Noble."
"Noir-sama... Thank you very much."
"But before that happens, we better focus on winning this war."
"Ready Sir..."
The Knight army immediately continued on its way.
They also lost 10 people from last night, and buried them very well.
Not long after, they reached the Swamp area.
"Stop..." Noir ordered the troops to stop.
"This swamp is filled with writhing creatures. They did not give up on interrupting our journey. You sneaky."
"What should we do now? Turning around the Swamp takes up to 2 days, I'm afraid our supplies won't be enough."
"Don't worry Noir-sama. I'm gonna do something about those worms. However, I want you guys to get ready for something that might appear on the inside of this Swamp."
"Alright Vallen. All sets of battle formations."
"ALRIGHT...!!!"
Vallen got off his horse, and walked towards the Swamp.
"What exactly are you doing, Vallen?"
"Noir-sama. The swamp contains water, even the surrounding soil is also wet. So is there an Element that can strengthen our attack through the water?"
"Hmm? With the Elements you have right now, is that fire? No, the fire will be extinguished immediately when exposed to water. Is it wind, but for what? Is it possible...?"
"I do have a high affinity with all types of Elements. However, there is one strongest Element that from the beginning became the foundation of all my magic. That element is... Lightning."
Vallen points out that with the flow of electricity creeping through his body, the sparks magnified while in his hand.
"WHAT...!!"
"God Palm Thunder Hand."
From the surface of the Swamp, lightning and electricity propagated through the puddles. Scorch the parasitic worms that wriggle along the surface of the Swamp.
"I didn't expect this kid to have the rarest natural Element in the world. Vallen, you're full of surprises."
Everyone there was amazed at the beauty of the blue lightning that struck it.
"Prepare. The true Swamp dwellers will be out soon."
Suddenly the ground shook.
"Woe... Is this an earthquake?"
From inside the swamp appeared a giant horned snake.
"Satashhhaaa....!!!" Sliced snake.
"This is the poisonous Giant Snake Horn. Knight, Shild's position."
The Knights took a defensive position. They put a shield lined up, and arranged up.
"Prepare for impact."
The snake darted quickly, ramming the shields.
DING.....!!! Sound of horn impact with steel.
"Vallen, leave this to me."
"Of course Noir-sama. It's your turn. I can't get all this fame."
"Well... You're a sly boy."
Noir drew out the Claymore sword(Big sword). Then he jumped up and slashed the head of the snake.
"Goddess..."
That extremely hard head reflected Noir's sword.
(The head is very hard.)
"FIGHT, Noir-sama...!!!"
"Be quiet, boy, don't bother me by yelling like that."
(If the head cannot. I'll attack his body.)
Noir slashed the snake's skin, but the scales were hard to break.
"Damn, his body is also very hard. Then..."
(My name is Noir Deovare, if the sword is a body then the soul is blood. Mighty Guardian, give me your blessing, and make my body a pillar of jewels.)
"The Exclarion."
Sword Noir started to emit a fire aura, Noir's body slowly enlarged and shiny like a jewel. The claymore size started to get big and wide.
Noir darted, and hit the snake until it bounced.
"Well..."
Hit the snake many times, making the scales on the body of the snake fall out.
Noir began to clutch the snake's tail and rotate quickly, then he threw it up, Noir jumped and with Claymore he cut the snake's body into two pieces. The swing of the sword caused the wind to blow the water in the swamp to dry.
"remarkable. This power, it's incredible."
As a Maniac fighter, Vallen felt the heat all over his body. He laughed and hoped that one day he could fight with the person in front of him.
"What about this, Vallen?"
"Haha. Very impressive Noir-sama. Ihihi..."
"Yes-Yes-Yes... But, can you not make that creepy face? Maniac's a fighter."
They passed through the Swamp safely and soon reached the battlefield.
When night fell, they had reached the border area, a place that would later become a battlefield between the two camps.
Noir ordered the reconnaissance forces to find out the number of enemies.
After the surveillance team returns.
"Noir-sama. They're about 700 troops."
"Alright, good job, get back to your place. Tomorrow is a long day."
"Ready."
The commander and Vallen entered Noir's tent.
"They're not too many. I'm sure we can win tomorrow."
"Noir-sama, I feel that there is a person with immense strength there."
"I feel it too. But we mustn't be afraid of anything that happens."
Finally tomorrow comes.
The armies from both sides finally faced each other.
In a desert, the distance between them was only about 2 KM.
"As expected, there's a parasite control team. They're behind me."
"Noir-sama, the one who is holding the spear next to Orev's. He is the Devil."
"That horn... It turns out that the help Polac has is the Devil."
"It looks like there's only one Devil there, Noir-sama."
"Hehms... It seems the devil did something."
The demon was preparing to launch a spear shrouded in aura, the spear was pointed at the command center of the Knight army.
"Dam... Noir-sama, leave it to me."
Vallen jumped up and gripped the spear's body. The powerful thrust of the lance, Vallen until dragged up to several meters.
"Lumayan... I'll give you this spear back."
Vallen began to pick up the horses, he flowed the spear with the aura of lightning, wind, and fire. Vallen's body also began to splash red electricity, then he threw the spear and aimed directly at the Devil.
The spear that Vallen had thrown was extremely fast, the fusion of the three Elements made the spear enveloped in Aura that was synergizing with each other. The slash of this spear made the Devil startled, as it directly pointed towards the Demon's head. However, he managed to dodge the spear and caused an incision wound on the Devil's cheek.
The counter-spear attack from Vallen, leveling the troops behind the Devil.
With this the battle begins....
