Clan War, Clan Life.
Story by Eliud Pizarro
Shining bright with no clouds in sight, the birds are chirping and today the troops are getting restless in the barracks. The leader is making some final changes and recruiting more troops to join. There were some more trees cut down and some builders found more gems after leader made them follow a rainbow. A cannon near the base is being upgraded, but it'll take another day before it's complete. Walking into the barracks, a barbarian grabs his sword and an archer is finishing up with the paper work to finish being recruited.
His name is Maximus, he is a barbarian (level 2). Today is preparation day. As he trains, the camps get closer to being full. He will be ready in a few minutes and all he can think about is his first clan war. If it wasn't for the rage spell, the leader dropped, he would not be here.
Her name is Athrosa, she is an archer (level 1). Today will be her first clan war, she is scared. All the other warriors stare at her as if she did something wrong. She trains with twenty other archers. They hear the conch shell horn. The camps are full, only ten archers ready, clan war has begun.
Leader launches four wall breakers ahead of the path, as the archers in the tower aim, a cloud of light grows overhead. Maximus looks as leader drops a lighting spell over the clan's fortress, what a glorious sight he thinks, and as the lighting crackles the wall breakers create a breach. Goblins are sent in to collect loot and trigger spring traps without casualty. As sure as Maximus is about being called into battle, a giant moves him aside and starts forward with five others. The ground quakes with every step they take, partly annoyed Maximus looks around and catches an archer looking at him.
Athrosa's nerves are still, finding amusement while looking at a barbarian being moved aside by a giant, the barbarian looks right at Athrosa – they lock eyes and she smiles. Before Maximus could return the smile, he is called forward to the fight. Running with the clan, Maximus yells a war cry as they enter the opposing clan's fortress, they pass a fallen giant near a flaming barrel. The barbarians swarm the mortar cannons, having the giants as a distraction was perfect – Maximus thought – leader is smart. They get closer to destroying every defense until they break through another wall and a giant enters but is slammed back about ten feet.
Rubble falls from the broken wall sprinkling over the shoulders of what attacked the giant, ..is it.. yes it is - a king, a Barbarian King! As he emerges the other two giants start to attack and the one that fell gets up while shaking his head. The barbarian king slash and kills one giant and Maximus jumps in front of him swinging his sword as the leader drops spell over the clan to help aid in healing. Maximus is slashing with all his might, passing the heal barrier and is pummeled by the Barbarian King, at which point as he falls to the ground – the Barbarian King puts his sword over his head to give a death blow to Maximus and is hit in the face with an arrow.
With every archer on the field attacking the Barbarian King, he [the king] is taken by surprise and drops his sword in a daze, Maximus looks up to see Athrosa – she yells for him to go – they head to attack the last remaining buildings. In the enemy base, Maximus, heading for the last of the loot – he finds a gem and knows exactly who to give it to.
Victory! * * *
