Hello everyone. Here is chapter 4. I hope that you enjoy it. :)
King Blu and his men finally arrived in Minas as they saw that Princess Celestia is leading three-thousand men in trying to breach the gates of Minas, while the defenders tried their best to prevent them as they gathered much of the garrison soldiers that they could to help them defend Minas.
The sight of only Princess Celestia and her three-thousand men caused King Blu to become suspicious, knowing that King Charles and his men are likely around here somewhere and they are most likely waiting for the chance to deliver a surprise attack against them, which is exactly what he'll do.
Unfortunely for King Blu, who is on the top of a hill with his army and he told them to form a shield-wall, he lost control of some of his men as two-thousand of his infantry began to break ranks by charging down the hill towards Princess Celestia and her army, which annoyed King Blu as he ordered the rest of his men to stay put.
Princess Celestia and her three-thousand men found themselves fighting a battle on two fronts, having just finally breached the gates of Minas only to be held off by an organised shield-wall that repelled her army from the front, while ordering the back of her army to form their own shield-wall, in order to brace themselves for King Blu's rogue soldiers.
Eventually, two thousand of King Blu's rogue soldiers clashed shield-to-shield with Princess Celestia's shield-wall as they attempted to squeeze the enemy army into submission, which was looking increasingly likely, although, they had no idea that they had, instead, fallen into a trap that was set by none other than King Charles, himself.
What they didn't know was the fact, that princess Celestia and her army's attempt to breach the gates of Minas was only a distraction in order to keep the defenders focus off Charles and his army, which worked successfully for princess Celestia as King Charles's army managed to breach the gates on the other side of Minas.
This caused the defenders to panic as King Charles and his army poured through, while slaughtering women as well as the children along the way before they clashed into the back of the defenders, which led to the latter being utterly annihilated by the combined forces of King Charles and Princess Celestia.
They turned their attention to King Blu's rogue soldiers, who are also quickly defeated as many of them retreated back towards their King and their comrades, where they helped reform the shield-wall as they prepared themselves for the combined forces attack on them, which came as King Charles and his army charged first.
"Hold steady, men, hold your ground" ordered King Blu as his stood with his men in the shield-wall. "Brace yourselves, men, don't let the enemy go through the shield-wall".
Eventually, King Charles and his army clashed shield-to-shield with King Blu's army as they battled for victory as the dead as well as the wounded casualties started mounting up, many soldiers on both sides were killed or wounded in the battle, but, King Blu's army held firm as they tried to repel Charles and his army's attacks.
Princess Celestia and her, now, one-thousand men charged at King Blu's army's shield-wall, where they, too, came shield-to-shield with King Blu's army, but, still, King Blu and his men refused to budge as they began to fend off their enemy with victory looking to be in sight as King Blu's men pressed the advantage.
Unfortunely, it wasn't meant to be, because Princess Celestia's remaining twelve-thousand men came charging behind King Blu's army, where they collided into the back of King Blu's army, which quickly caused chaos as the shield-wall quickly fell apart and they each had their own particular battle to fight.
Eventually, the battle was over with only King Blu, Tomada, Marcus and Bosco, left alive as the four wondered if they are going to survive long enough to warn the rest of the kingdom, but, they knew that King Charles, along with Princess Celestia and their army stood in their way in doing that, but, King Blu had an idea.
"Celestia, I have a request to make of you" said King Blu as he glared at his two enemies. "I request, that we settle this in single combat, one-on-one".
"Hmmm, an interesting development, very interesting" said Princess Celestia as she smiled. "Very well, I accepted your request and your friends can go free".
"Thank you, very much, Celestia, for accepting my request" said King Blu before he faced his friends. "Tomada, Bosco, Marcus, I want you three to go back home, now".
"But, your majesty, we can't go back without you, we just can't" said Tomada as he looked at King Blu. "Your people need you, they need a leader to save them".
"I know, but, I am buying you guys some time to warn them" said King Blu as he handed over his crown. "Take this back to my wife and children, now, please, go".
Tomada, Bosco and Marcus looked at King Blu with worried expressions on their faces, before they gently took King Blu's crown as they took the chance to return back to their loved ones to warn them about the danger that was coming as well as the fact that King Blu had decided to stay behind to give them time to escape.
