The Tale Of A General
Chapter 1: The Battle Of Ordon Province
The Hylian military lined up just across the bridge that lead into Province Ordana. Overall there had been about six hundred Hylian Legions, two hundred of them heavy calvalry. Princess Zelda received word that an army of barbaric tribes had been marching throughout the country side.
The kingdom was naturally protected by barriers such as mountains, lakes, and deserts. The only entrance is through a trail in the woods.
A figure emerged, two bodygaurds on each side. He was on horseback, long loose blonde hair flairing behind him. He was clad in a green tunic, with chain mail underneath. His eyes were a very dark blue, the very same eyes as a feril beast.
As he slowed to a halt between his military ranks, everyone soluted, each saying, " General." Or, "Commander."
Link turned and saw as the " Barbarians" were gathering in the forest on the other side of the clearing. He invisioned how the battle would go. His archers would fire non-stop, as well as his seige machines. Afterwards his infantry would began advancing, using them as a decoy to protect the bridge, his calvalry would flank them all from the side, his entire force meeting in the middle. He smiled at his thoughts.
Suddenly he heard a battle cry from across the clearing as his eyes located his commanding officers. He rode in from the infantry line and stopped, smiling. "Well it looks like their lost to me, what do you say boys?"
The crowd shouted back at the barbarians, laughing at their stupidity of doubting the Hylian Legion. "How's about we show them the way of the Hylian Legion! What say you!" The military cheered again as Link headed off towards his calvalry. He slowed down in front of the commanding officials who were also Zeldas council guides. All though they were smart, they had completely different ideas regarding politics, but they only solved their problems behind Links back, fearing the wrath of princess Zelda.
" Artemis," Link looked at the blonde haired man who was now fifty winters in age. He was the most loyalist to Link among Zeldas ruling council." On my command fire archers. "
He then looked to the man on a white stallion to the left, clad in golden armour and white leggings. " Lance you lead the infantry after the archers are done with their assault. I'll take the infantry."
" Yes commander!" both darted off to their positions, eyeing each other suspiciously, Link took note of this for later. He then took the calvalry unit out into the forest into position so that they could successfully assemble their ambush. Link rubbed his red mares neck and patted ker nose gently. He smiled. He then turned and took the archer flag from a soldier, holding it high. He watched as arrows flew through the air and empaled the Barbaric tribes on the other side of the clearing.
Link unsheathed his sword, everyone else doing the same. He pulled on his green hat and raised his sword high. "Remember, stay together as a whole, and if you find yourself fighting alone in the middle of the field, then your already dead. And the goddesses have taken you for wine and a feast." Everyone laughed. " Now charge!"
Meanwhile Lance began advancing the infantry. They began walking slowly towards the intermost fields, fire arrows flying above their heads. The wind nicked at their feet as the nails on the bottoms of their sandals dug into the ground. The legion formed up into a line, throwing a loud roar at the barbaric tribes.
Suddenly the tribes charged, and after a moment of silence, they clashed against the legions shields. Lance on horseback charged into the ranks, splitting shields and sending men flying. He looked towards the East and saw Links unit emerge from the woods. Soon the entire barbaric army was empailed from both sides.
Link sped through the barbaric ranks, cutting and slicing as many men as he could find. It was too late as a man tripped his horse with his spear, sending Link flying.
The general pulled a steel Hylian shield from his back and raised his sword, charging at the man that tripped him. They clashed, sending a wave of blows at each other, which they both blocked. Eventually Link took the upper hand and cut the mans throat, then continueing to stab him to death. He raised his eyes again, along with his sword, blocking a downwards blow from another soldier. He quickly jumped back while blocking as many attacks as he could, then with a burst of strength he leaped forward, empaling the man in the ribs.
Soon the battle-field was cleared of all barbaric tribes, either dead or retreating, and victory was recognized. Link found his horse, who he called Epona and began hunting down the remaining men.
" Victory!" Shouted Artemis as everyone cheered." We have victory!"
