Chapter 34
The sun was slowly setting over the quiet city casting an orange glow across the landscape all was quiet.
The elves where placed on the left side of the castle walls there long curved brown almost black bows glow reflected the polish on them. The dwarfs and the Varden stood at the gates forming a block of shields swords and spears. The only way for the empire to attack was face to face no flanking anything.
At the front Olisen stood beside Nasuada with his blade and shield ready. Nasuada stood proud with her sword at the ready.
Eragon sat atop saphira ready to engaged Galbatorix and shuikain his blue blade hung around his waist his armour tightly fit eyes dead ahead. Arya stood with the dwarfs and Varden at the front her curved sword ready. Elisa sat atop Elrin ready for battle Thorn stood beside them he was waiting to burn the king and his soldiers to a crisp.
"So this is the last stand perfect night don't you think" Olisen said to no one really the soldiers smiled and gripped the swords and shields hoping to end the war here.
"Indeed it is" said Orik from behind them. Olisen turned to his left and looked down.
"There's still time for me to find you a box my little friend" Olisen said smiling
"You leave the talking till after the battle, ill let my hammer show you the power these little legs hold" Orik said smiling, Olisen laughed.
Olisen looked up at Saphira and Eragon they were in deep conversation by the looks of it. The battle horns rang out they all looked out shields where raise bows knocked swords ready spears lowered.
They saw the first wave of soldiers come over the hill marching at a quick pace. Olisen pulled down his face guard of his helm. The soldiers began to run at them letting out a war cry.
The dragons let out there ground shaking roars but held there ground. The sky began to change from orange to black and the sky was filled with twangs of bow strings from the elves. They saw many soldiers fall down under the hail of arrows; the first wave didn't even make it to the front line.
Then the main force of the army came charging over the hill straight at them. Arrow crashed on them though they kept coming then arrows from there flanks and crashed into them. Everyone looked shocked, the empire looked to the west to see there own archers firing on them.
"I put them there when I was sided with the empire and they were still loyal to me my lady" Olisen said to Nasuada
She was about to reply when the empire had regained order and were about to clash with them. The soldiers crashed against the Varden the dwarf shields; some of the empire troops where impaled by the spears some cut down but the swords, the Varden and her allies and engaged the empire.
Olisen punched one soldier in the face with his shield there face covered in blood from the dragon that stood out on the shield, Olisen swung his sword into the soldier's neck removing it from his body. Orik let out a roar and smashed his huge axe into the gut of an empire knight; he let out a scream and fell to the floor.
Arya cut down and large soldier and looked up to see Saphira burn a large number of empire archers and Elrin snap and soldier in two. Thorn head butted a soldier he was sent flying across the battlefield into the thong of soldiers.
The Varden and the dwarf's front line held against the empire. Eragon saw shuikain take to the skies.
"Let's do this Saphira" Eragon said
"Yes little one" Saphira replied
She hurtled towards the large black dragon and they both crashed into each other.

Olisen blocked and attacked and punched his shields point into the soldier's chest, blood sprayed over his armour and the soldier fell to the floor. Olisen moved through the throng of soldiers cutting any down who got in his way. The sky was now black one star dotted the sky cries of war filled the sky dragons flame licked the empires soldiers.
Olisen looked down to see a large black horse come straight at him, he grab the Knights spear and flipped the knight of his horse. The knight rose and turned with his sword drawn.
"General, how nice to see you again" Olisen smirked
"Traitor Olisen time for your luck to end my friend" The general spoke
The soldiers paused to see Olisen and the empire army general circle each other. Olisen clash his sword with the generals who blocked just in time they fought back and forth. Olisen jumped the sword that was aimed at his legs and swung his sword just catching the general across the chest.
Eragon caught galbatorix on the leg he growl and kicked him to which Eragon pulled him off shuikain and they both hit the sand away from the battle.
"Time to end this boy" Galbatorix sneered
"Im no more a boy than you're a king" Eragon countered
Eragon swung his sword only to be blocked by the king. "Try harder than that my boy" The king sneered, Eragon snapped and hit Galbatorix hard with his fist. The king stumbled back angered a young boy was able to strike him, they king press Eragon back and caught his leg leaving a large cut on his leg.
Eragon hissed as his leg was hit by the purple blade, he fought back harder now pressing the king towards the steep hillside. The side crumbled and both slipped down the steep side hitting rocks as they slid down.
Olisen swung again cutting the general across his stomach then his shoulder, the general tried to take of Olisen's head but missed completely as Olisen ducked behind him whacking his sword into the back of the general's leg making him crumple to his knees.
The empire soldiers looked shocked as Olisen bought his sword down with two hands straight through there generals shoulder across his chest and down out of his side cleaving him completely in two.
Olisen then kicked the lower body as it slumped to one side; he looked up to see Elrin crash outside the battle field.
Eragon whacked onto the hard rocks at the bottom of the hillside his sword landed far from him, he looked up to see the king stand over him. The king gripped Eragon's neck tightly.
"Im going to enjoy watching you die boy" Galbatorix sneered, Eragon reach don't to his boot.
"For the last time galbatorix I am no boy" Eragon shouted and with that pulled out his Elvin dagger and rammed it into the kings neck, it came out the other side of his neck.
The king's eyes grew wide; Eragon kicked him off and stood up gasping for breath as galbatrox rolled around the floor as blood filled his air ways causing him to slowly die.
Shuikain's Roar ripped though the battle field everyone looked up they saw Eragon standing over the dead king, shuikain fell from the skies crushing the rear empire troops. The empire looked around confused there general lay dead there king lay dead they were leaderless strong in number but all energy spent there enemy held them firm hardly any had fallen.
The empire soldiers dropped there weapons knowing winning was out of the question with two riders left and an army willing to fight to the every end was hopeless for the empire to win.
Olisen went to where Elrin was Elisa lay next to him will a smile pasted of her face, Olisen put a finger to her neck ……… nothing.
"Elisa come on wake up" Olisen shook her still nothing he saw the arrow in her chest, he moved her up against Elrin and left he looked up, the sun was beginning to rise he was covered in blood. Thorn landed next to him nudging genteelly, Olisen mounted him and took off towards Eragon.
Eragon saw Thorn land and Olisen jumped off and walked over to him.
"It's over" Eragon said
"Aye Eragon it is though there is still work to do" Olisen said
Saphira and Thorn landed outside the gates of the city to see the Varden and allies cheering, Eragon saw Arya pushing though the crowd, Eragon ran to her pulled her close and kissed her fiercely. The crowd of soldiers walked back into the city cheering wives and children ran to there husbands and fathers.
As the three walked towards Nasuada and the stage of the city she shouted.
"We have won the war"
