Flames burned through the air, tearing at the Algarvian foot soldiers that
attacked the torched city to the bone. Their screams echoed through
Thalfang as the Unkerlanter dragons rained fire and dropped eggs (which
were man-size bombs of sorcerous energy) atop their last hope of winning
the Derlavaian War. Both kingdoms knew that whatever kingdom left Thalfang
standing or not retreating would probably conquer the War and all of
Derlavai. Thalfang was the last city before Unkerlant's capital Cottbus and
all of both kingdoms soldiers and behemoths were either defending or
attacking Thalfang. It was a battle neither kingdom could lose.
Tealdo sat flat on his stomach making himself a smaller target for those
lucky Unkerlanters who spotted him to blaze. But he was not amused. Squads
of Algarvians got cornered and were blazed like dogs as their enemies
marched over their cold, bloody bodies with a smile upon their faces.
Algarvian dragons also dropped dead from the sky, battling their enemy's
air born while Algarvian behemoths got trampled by eggs. Tealdo and his
comrades both knew it would take a miracle to save their kingdom and win
the battle. The Algarvian army went from army to ruin.
"Damn it Seargeant when are we going to go fight and save are kingdom?"
Trasone screamed, seeing his countrymen fall by squads.
"I know how you feel but if we go we'll fall like the rest of them!"
Sergeant Panfilo replied, wanting just as much to attack but knowing what
would happen if he did.
But Trasone just couldn't take it, "Our kingdom is about to be vanished
from the earth and you guys are going sit and watch?" Without another word
Trasone rolled away from the brick wall which protected him from beams
cutting him in half.
As all the Algarvian and Unkerlanters knew, the Algarvians exceeded in
skill but suffered severely in numbers. And Trasone wanted to change that.
He bolted from cover blazing everything in site. Tealdo was amazed at
seeing Unkerlanter solders getting blazed in the back and falling like and
apple tree. But it didn't last long, as their comrades fell they quickly
noticed that he was there and began blazing back.
Tealdo knew Trasone wouldn't last long without aid. Without much thought,
he too risked his life to save his comrade. He charged from cover and
blazed all the enemies he could down. Although, he didn't notice that all
his other squad mates had dived out after him, making a stand. Within a
heartbeat, the squad of Unkerlanters had fallen and Tealdo and his friends
were all cheering.
As if to remind them that the battle wasn't over, an Algarvian dragon
slammed onto the ground too close to Tealdo than he would have liked. But
something strange has plagued the air. As Tealdo studied the dragon in
front of him he realized that it was painted in green and red not in grey.
It was an Unkerlanter dragon.
"Is that...?" Trasone whispered.
Tealdo tilted his head to where his comrade was pointing. The air. All the
dragons who rained from the sky were also painted in grey.
"Reinforcements!" Sergeant Panfilo screamed.
As more enemy dragons fell, a battalions worth of Algarvian dragons pounded
to the ground and began slashing and tearing the enemy lines into shreds.
Confused, the enemies began retreating, confused at how their army went to
ruin.
