The Witch's Curse
The Royal Battle (2)

CTAAAARRRR

BZZZZZZZZTT

Markian who tried to get up, could not avoid the second attack.

"YOUR MAJESTY!!" The knight next to him shrieked in panic at the sight of the King chuckling from the fierce lightning sting.

"Aaaarrrgg!" Markian groans in pain. He fell with a burnt back as a result of a lightning strike. The Holy Commander who was still in the rear row, immediately shot towards King Cordovan.

"Yeahatt!!!!"

His sword aura slashes bulldozed through two werewolves all the way to the location of His Majesty the King.

'Khaaaaaak'

The sound of wolves not attacking. They were killed instantly due to the slash of the Sword Aura the Commander. The bluish-red fresh blood flowed like a creek. A fishy and foul smell rippled among the carcasses of the monsters. The blood is even poisonous. The weed plants that grew wildly around him were charred in flames exposed to their bloodstreams.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense. The collapse of the King seemed to be due to the trepidation of the attack of the royal forces. They are forced to battle mythological creatures, despite their unbalanced powers. The knights became increasingly cornered. Uh. If only they were also magic-shielded beings, this would be something else. The imbalance of the source of power between the human army and the magic army became the threshold of resistance. Throughout the eyes of the beholder, there were only flames, evil beings and the dominance of black magic that were raging about messing up the battlefield.

"Haa..... Haa.... Haa...... How can a weak human like you lead a continent?" mage Maxi exclaimed from the roof of the fountain of the square that had ceased operation. Both hands looked up, and called out to the flock of hell birds that soon fell like rain.

"Aaaakkkkkhhh" Another knight who was fighting, unable to avoid the sight of the red-eyed bird, and clawed ferociously, which suddenly appeared between the sky and the smog. His steel-shielded head could not escape the fluttering wings of the hell bird that flew hot sand. The eyes of the knight became blind, so he could not fend off the sharp grip of the bird that tore its cheeks and eyes like a dagger. The knight's neck was also broken by a hard impact on the ground when he fell. It did not take long for the birds of hell to then eat it as an appetizer.

SIUUU!

BLAAARR!

The fireball again ransacked the formation of the royal army that had been painstakingly defending due to the werewolf attack. Witch Maxi who launched an attack from the top of the fountain also did not think much. His fire shots were simply directed without considering his soldiers who might have been hit by his attack.

'Kaaaing.... Kaaaai.. '

A wolf caught fire and drowned in panic as a result of the feathers that ignited the great fire. He died in a terrible state of ashes.

"Teacher! Prepare backwards!" Order of the Holy Commander who assesses the condition of his troops who have been overwhelmed. This time, the swamp crocodiles that were twice as large appeared to pop out from behind the forest. Again, his red eyes lit up as if he was obeying his master's instructions. Its unusual size frightened everyone. Silent without a sound, he then pounced on anyone who passed by.

"Vaaaaakkkk".

The victims began falling. His shattered body was torn apart by water predators that came along unpredictably. The condition of the royal forces is at the nadir point. Ten squad platoons, now only five, about. Half of them died at the hands of the enemy. The banners that originally fluttered gallantly, were now charred to nothing. The horses had already fled in panic. They were detached from the restraints of the platoon commanders who descended and carried out attacks from below in order to be effective. But apparently, not really. The melee attacks they carried out were also futile.

The Holy Commander who tried to protect the King looked defeated. So, he called the troops back to draw up a follow-up plan.

"Shyield!"

The Holy Commander cast a protective spell. A bluish-white holy shield enveloped him and the people within 200 meters.

SIUUT

BLAARR

Even magic balls cannot penetrate the shield.

"Shielded!" he called the knights to come closer. The knights who were already powerless, approached towards the Commander.

CRAK UP!

"Aakhhh"

One of the knights could not survive. A crocodile monster pounced on him who was careless almost without a sound. He fails to identify a new enemy who is suddenly joined in the magic army of Witch Maxi.

"Sliced! Damn protection magic!" rutuk Witch Maxi who felt provoked.

"The driver... Thunderclap.. Oh... Lightning from hell! Come to me!"

The Witch's two hands looked up to summon the thunder that trembled in the sky. A huge white flash caught his hand, then threw it to the earth.

!!!!!!!

BZZZZZZZTTTT

"Super shiled!!!"

"Super shield, back up!"

Another voice came from behind him. The Commander's urge to keep the lightning strike from his shield so as not to hit the troops being protected, surprised him.

"Commander! We'll help you!" paladin said with a sword of flaming aura and emitting protection magic to optimize his master's shield.

"Paladin!" The commander exclaimed with relief. He was so happy to get unexpected help from his subordinates.

"Holy Knights! Formation!" Paladin's Order. This time, the attack of the troops with which magic would be different from the usual royal army.

The Holy Knight Army has arrived at the capital. Although it took a long trip. Eventually they arrived too and were able to join the royal army on the battlefield.

"Damn! Who are they, Master?" asked Venn who was inching from behind the fountain. He seemed to be eating the wings of the bird of hell that had just chipped away due to the slash of the knight. Baked the bird to prop up the stomach. Venn seemed to be chewing on the bird's carcass very greedily.

"They are a holy army, Cih! Unexpectedly," Witch Maxi looked cynically at the troop that had just arrived.

SIUUUUT

BLAARRRR

Without thinking, he began the attack. The magic fireball Witch Maxi was very easily fended off by the Paladin.

"Attacks!"

BLAARRR

A golden glint snatched towards the Witch Maxi.

"Amkkkh!"

Witch Maxi was attacked. Just this time he was screaming in pain. If the Sacred Commander had been busy fighting with his army, this time, the Paladin would have directly attacked their boss.

"Bad!! Nyams.. Nyams.. Nyams.... " Venn shouted while eating. He threw away his food and wiped his hands first, before taking his wand.

"Victum Petrovinum!" Venn cast a spell by lifting his wand into space. A ball of fire again shot out from the sky towards the holy knight army.

Venn does not have a magician mana, so he needs a tool in the form of a wand. His job as a potion expert since a thousand years ago, made Venn never learn the optimization of where witches. Sometimes, he regretted having missed such a valuable lesson. Like practicing ballet since childhood, optimization where magicians also only succeed if they practice from the beginning to become magicians. This training would make the magic mana invariably called to their body flow and natural talents would appear at regular intervals.

"Shyield!"

Venn's fireball didn't cause anyone any harm. The paladin managed to stall him easily.

"Tsk!" Venn clucked. He felt he had wasted the dinner he had spent so quickly. The magician Maxi who was behind him, again summoned a hellish thunderbolt.

"Paladin, I leave it to you. I must secure His Majesty first," said the Commander who was still holding the magic shield.

"Okay, Commander! Worry not! Sir Tom, Sir Yang, Sir Hovard!"

"Ready, Commander!"

"Take over the Commander's shield, protect the royal army!"

"Ready, Commander!"

The three knights also maintained a holy shield with their holy swords. If the Holy Commander can do it alone, then, the task means it must be done by 3 people so that the power needed is balanced. Affinity where holy knights are not as big as the Commander's. So, they will not be able to withstand the attack alone.

The Holy Commander then sought temporary refuge to restore the King's condition. He was assisted by five knights who kept the enemy from approaching. The commander will be overwhelmed if he has to protect and fight alone.

"Master! Lookie! Banners from Gonovan!" exclaim a knight to the Commander.

"God! Army rebellion?"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Basic fool!"
