Chapter 10 The First Battle, Veculars
After the first few weeks of training, me and my men in the meat shield battalion had become elite meat shields, We got word that a small band of Bounty Hunters, about maybe 30, had been moving toward the training ground, We all got in our armor, most of us had leather armor, but some of us had chain mail, the meat shield battalion, did not have chain mail, it was awarded to the most promising soldiers. After an hour or 2 of waiting, we heard some horns, that meant that some Hunters had been spotted, the meat shield battalion was sent in first, we had daggers, and signs that said "Gay is not okay.", This was to drive off the hunters, the hunters had about 30 people, as predicted, they had spears, swords, but not archers, at least none that we could see. They got about 400 yards away from our camp, and then halted, we also halted, waiting to see what they would do, after about 50 seconds, we could see 10 men step forward, bows in hand.
"WATCH OUT, THEY HAVE ARCHERS." Screamed the man next to me, the other men took cover, while me and the meat shields stood our ground. Once they had fired, 6 of my men had been shot, While they reloaded, Rexor and 20 other men charged forward.
"Prepare the lances." shouted Rexor, The Royal Guard following Rexor all lowered their lances, once they had clashed with the ground troops one of the riders went down
"Duck… Trump…." cried VenomHacker, as he faded away the Hunters ground troops retreated.
