Chapter 207 - Close Combat madmen.

With the enemy Army approaching closer and closer to the Kingdom, every Guard on the battlefield pulled out their Sword and were ready for battle! Woldemir was the first one to take a swing against the enemies! His amazingly thin Sword made its way through a Soldiers arm (Which was covered with Iron Armour.). After cutting clean through the enemy's arm it sliced against his torso but it only managed to sink in around 5 inches deep in the skin. 

It would be a bit more interesting if he slit a man in half, but this move provides inevitable death as well. He managed to to slice through Armour and sink in 5 inches deep without even stabbing! If he stabbed it would kill a Soldier no doubt, but it would take a lot more time to pull the Sword out. Wasting time is not advisable in such a battle where quantity isn't by his side.

He took a few steps back and pulled his 2 meter long Sword along with him using all of his might, which dealt a lot more damage as an aftermath. The Soldier's rib is surely cut, he lost his arm and he sprayed 2 other men with blood. His fate is certain, death. "My arm! I can't feel my arm!" The Soldier screamed in pain as he fell on the ground, trying to hold his wound with his other arm but it just wasn't possible, he felt like as if he had reached some sort of paralyzation due to pain.

Seeing their brother in war fall down so quickly with a terrible aftermath, the Soldiers close by swung their Sword trying to hit Woldemir from three sides (Left, forward and right.) but were forced to choose a different path! The 3 Calidum Lutum Guards nailed their own Swords to the ground which stopped each hit around their teacher.

The tallest of the three, and fairly the best fighter of them too, lifted his Sword and pointed it forwards. Yelling out much like a beast before he started running towards the Soldiers and started stabbing one after the other with his 3 meter long Sword! Yes 3 meters, he can for sure use it without self casualties.

Of course, a 3 meter Sword can only fit so many men in a row, so when there wasn't any more space he, first kept pushing forwards until he found it reasonable to stop, knocked down and ran over around 4 men which broke a few bones no doubt, necks too! And he nailed the Sword full of Victims to the ground, putting himself through a large leap.

How high can a Calidum Lutum jump? Well after pulling his Sword away from the Victims as a process of leaping, he jumped nearly 5 meters high and slashed his sword against 3 men once he finally met with the ground again, slitting their heads completely in half and part of their chests too!

This proves how fearless one of these fellas is, they are fighting against an Army but don't fear getting in the middle of it and risk blind spots. Yet again, there are few who would charge against a 10 foot tall opponent instead of a 6 foot tall one. Plus the three are wearing Iron Armor, not to mention their natural rough skin which makes an arrow shot feel like nothing but a light scratch, it isn't certain about a Sword cut or stab though, especially against an ill.u.s.tratio or Ignite.

The moment when the strongest of the three claimed his first victim, another 9 foot tall Calidum Lutum raised his Sword from the ground and head butted a ill.u.s.tratian enemy. The head bump crushed the enemy's skull even though they were both wearing helmets, tremendous durability for one human being (The Calidum Lutum.).

It tossed him against the crowd behind him and ended up forcing several men to trip which granted a bit more time for a different bolder move. Grabbing his 2 meter long sword throughout the process of head butting that man, he pulled it from his left side and swung it horizontally resulting to numerous vicious slaughter.

Since he is taller, the swing necessarily led to a few heads being cut off clean and those who got hit on the shoulders were knocked against the ground without the capability to feel their arm, their fate is certain in this crowd of soldiers running around like Wildboars.

Once he took that first swing accompanied by the head butt, to buy more time he tossed his Sword forwards against anyone in front. It pushed through one head, than the other and slowed down to the third, only penetrating a couple of inches through the fourth, but it is still as effective. A two inch head penetration can reach one's brain.

Why would he need to buy himself individually more time you might ask and why did he toss his Sword away? That's a dumb move right? Naturally it would be, but he pulled out his secondary weapon. The one that Woldemir approved upon for such a situation, Swords are preferred in battle because they are light, fast and sharp! They are the definition of perfection and the primary weapon in any battle here in Ignis. 

But what about Warhammers? The 9 foot tall Calidum Lutum pulled out his Warhammer held with a strap behind his back. The Hammer's tail is 3 meters long and as thick as an arm! As for the Heavy Hammer part, it is a couple of feet long, a foot wide and weighs 20 Kilograms! This is a special weapon made by the one and only insanely talented Blacksmith in the underground town of Lan Zhe.

What's special about Warhammers made in Lan Zhe, is that one doesn't need to use the handle in order to cause an Earthquake. The enchantment is all on the heavy portion of the hammer, so someone's about to shake the ground.

Dumb enough, a Soldier charged against him and tried to cut this 9 foot tall Guard's leg. It is interesting how brave these Soldiers are even after considering the circ.u.mstances but dumb bravery isn't enough. Using the Warhammer's tail, he disarmed that Guard tried to hit him. After disarming the Soldier, he used the tail to hit the enemy on his head to the point of knocking him off of his feet, that wasn't necessarily hard. Afterwards he executed the Warhammer's signature move, the head smasher.

Lifting his Warhammer as high as possible and slashing it downwards wind breakingly fast, the Warhammer didn't just crush the Soldiers head but it buried it in the ground. And when the Iron hits the ground, the shake follows. 

A lot of men were forced off of their feet because the Earthquake is just too violent, even the Guards that stood in unity with Pameres Kingdom had it hard to stand tall. The quake has no faction after all, it knocks people down without descrimination. Woldemir was smart and swift enough to make a light jump once the Warhammer hit the ground, therefore he is still on his feet and managed to slaughter the enemy Soldiers who were knocked down. Everything has to be used to his advantage at this battle where the quantities have a large gap.

The weakest of the 3 Calidum Lutum Guards didn't prove so weak once he started running through the Guards who were knocked down due to the sudden earthquake, at least half of his victims weren't to stand up again, their damages are too strong and they need all the possible strength to oppose the pain, causing a lot of fatigue. As for the ones who were about to stand up, they were slashed in half. Well at least their heads were cut off!

The entire described battle moves from the three Calidum Lutum and Woldemir too, happened in a matter of seconds even though the description became extensive. They did a lot of damage but the rest of the opposing Army is still charging against the rest of the Guards too, they aren't all focusing on 4 men.

The most dangerous of the enemy attacks, became arrows raining from the sky against Pameres Kingdom's Platoons. Some were smart enough to put their Swords over their heads and hope it doesn't hit it, but the rest weren't as lucky. The arrows were tens and it shot down at least 20 Guards too, it can't be sure if they are dead or not but it is certain that the opposing Army accidentally shot their brothers in war too, a risk of pulling back an arrow when the Close combat men have already slashed against the enemy.

To enhance Pameres Kingdom's chances of success, a Fireball seemingly 5 foot wide crossed above everyone's head and reached further for the back of the Army. That way at least, he is sure that he won't hit any of his own.

King Michael saw it as a good idea, seeing that King Zar is already too nervous he decided to take charge even though he can't properly stand on his own two feet yet. "Shoot as far as you can, we need to shoot down as many people as possible!"
