"Calamine's horns!" Alphard spat. There were three male faes who were standing out there and had created the magical invisible wall.
The Hydra General knew that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to break this wall. "Look upppp!" he shouted to all his men. "There are faes!"
There was a ripple of shock in the army as they all looked up. Some of the men who had shifted into wolves, shifted back to their human forms.
Half-moon dazzled the sky and against that dazzling light were three, winged men, looking at them.
"Shoot your arrows at them!" Alphard shouted the command.
A unit of soldiers quickly knelt on the ground and started shooting their arrows at the faes. But the faes flew higher than the arrows could even reach. They flew to the border of the kingdom where the Hydranians had broken down large parts of the stone wall. All the shooters turned to that side and started shooting in the air.
"Are you all fucked up! Bloody idiots!" Alphard shouted at them when the arrows fell on the fellow Nyxers. There were groans and curses and cries when some of the arrows missed the targets and fell upon the army. When the shooters didn't realize and continued to shoot arrows in frenzy, Alphard roared at them. "Stoooopp!"
The fire around the wall shrank in size, tuning into a giant ring of fire. Alphard watched it shrink bit by bit, but it turned into a giant fireball. It was as if a mini sun was floating in the air in front of them. He peeked at the faes, his sixth sense telling him something was terribly wrong. Why wasn't the ball disappearing? And that is when he saw the faes moving their hands forward.
They chanted something and white lights curled around their hands. As soon as the lights reached their fingertips, they hurled them towards the fireball.
"RUUNNNNN!" Alphard roared at his men, turning his horse around.
The giant ball was about to explode. The faes had turned the invisible wall into a ball of explosion.
His men scattered, the wolves jumping over men, horses rearing riders and some trying to get out of there as soon as possible. But everything happened in a split second. The ball exploded with a thundering noise into tiny fireballs which hurled out of it with a great speed. Each of the fireballs found its target and exploded upon contact, ripping the bodies into pieces of flesh and blood and bones.
There was complete pandemonium. Cries, blood curdling screams filled the air. The fireballs attached themselves with werewolves and as soon as they sensed blood, like a ticking bomb, they exploded.
Alphard jumped from his horse, the moment a fireball attached at its hind leg. He leapt in the air and shifted into his wolf just in time to save himself from the explosion in which his horse died.
Panicked and nervous as hell, he made his way through the wolves that were being killed or injured. He had to get back to his king to tell him about the trick that the Aquila Kingdom had used. He couldn't believe that three faes were more than enough to create such havoc upon his army that contained thousands of men. What would happen if they actually came across an army of faes.
He had to remind Felis that it was no use pursuing his goal, because things had changed drastically. King Eltanin had allies across Araniea and also had support of the faes since his own wife was a half fae.
Alphard leaped over the wolves and falling bodies to reach his king. He saw that almost everyone was trying to enter the large holes in the boundary wall of Aquila and that created huge congestion. He snarled at his men to give him way, afraid that the fireball would come and hit him. However--
