27 Chapter 27: Kingdom Challenges

============

"So, Nazami what do you think of our decision?" I asked riding my horseback as I questioned the man by my side.

"What do you mean, Commander?"

"Don't you thinking, We should have just abandoned the inner border and wait for the reinforcement to have arrived?"

"No no, not at all Sir! Instead I am really thankful to you ...I heard you supported the decision of the General, to hold the enemies outside the border ... because of that we don't have to lose many of our civilians life."

Hmm, I guess he is same like what the anime told it's viewer about him, he is a loyal knight toward his Empire, who is also one of the future 4 Elite Imperial Knights.

"Hey! Commander Auguste, Don't decrease the number of our Empires knight in this war." suddenly I heard a loud shout, turning my head around the left side ...I saw the spearmen unit, while Count Dustifer waved his hand at me.

Deciding to ignore him, I just began to ride my horse while Nazami following me behind other Knights following behind.

.....

[Kingdom camp]

"Sir Margrave Zuga! what are we doing here? Why aren't we invading there border yet?! We have been here for 10 days already." shouted a Commander to General Zuga, the in-charge of Kingdoms army.

"Yeah, General Zuga. We should by now already charge in there border before they gathered there forces, by now we can already tell that there forces hasn't been yet to be united." another commander said, he was looking in his late 50's, with bald head and santa beard.

"Commander Ruff and Old Commander Nolane, I have al—"

"General! Report! Report!" suddenly a Soldier entered the conference room, making all 5 commander and General Zuga to turn there attention at him.

"What is it Soldiers! If the report isn't important, be ready for your demotion in rank!" Zuga said glaring at the soldier, who had interrupted his sentence mid-way through.

"Th-this, Our scouts have spotted Empire army near the border! They are marching toward our camp!"

"What!" all commander stood up from there chair in shock.

"There estimated number?"

"It is around 20,000 to 25,000, Sir!"

"What? Are they underestimating us by bringing that low number! The audacity!"

"No! No ..Commander Völkchenheim. If I heard it correct from the spies. The in-charge of Empire this time is General, Margrave Aaron de Vanelland. You see this scar in my left eye." he said, slowly caressing his huge scar in the left.

"It was given to me by that General, I don't think he is that foolish enough to underestimate there enemy. I am sure, either they were forced by the Emperor to fight in that number or..." he then turned around, to look at Commander Völkchenheim.

"There force hasn't been gathered up, and are trying to hold our army by only that much number."

"Yes commander, then why don't we go and greet them?" said General Zuga with smirk, the turning toward the messenger soldier, then again spoke.

"Go, tell the soldiers to form rectangle formation and wait to welcome our guests."

"Yes, Sir!"

.....

.....

"You damn Kingdom bastard's! We will give you the final warning! Leave our land and we shall spare your lives!" shouted Margrave Vanelland, while we all had been stationed in formation.

Our opposite side also all in there formation, they had rectangular formation.

They had total of 40 rectangle each having 1,000 soldiers in them, while each of rectangles carried a Kingdom flag in the middle of them.

"Hahaha! General Aaron you bastard! don't make me laugh! Watching your army, I can by a glance tell we have twice your number! What gives your the arrogance to give us the option to retreat, huh?!!" a boomblastic reply came from the Kingdom side, making the soldiers of Kingdom to give there way for a man.

He came in the front lane, he was a robust man, with short blond hair, height of 6,9 ft. He also had an scary face grouping it up with his huge scar in his left eye, from the top of his eye brow down to his cheek and other small cuts around his face, he looked like a war maniac.

"Cheh! What are you doing here General Zuga! I thought you had already retired from the military after your loss in the previous War! Ha! Didn't you loose against me in the previous War?" Vanelland also said loudly, making the man named Zuga probably the in-charge of Kingdom army to laugh as well.

"Hahaha! Yeah you were indeed a worthy enemy. So, how about we duel again! And by the way, what you say is wrong General Aaron! Wherever there is war! I General Zuga will always be there! I will never retire from military until I on my death bed." Zuga shouted, while he once again continued.

"So, tell me how should we start our war!"

"You send your 20,000 men's and we will also send our 20,000." Vanelland shamelessly said, while the entire Kingdom army laughed.

"No no, My dear General ...We can't do that now can we? Hmmm ...Yeah, I suddenly have a idea. Why don't you send one of your Commander to the battlefield? I will send 10,000 soldiers? If he win we will retreat what do you say?"

"Wh-what! Do you take me as fool General Zuga! Kiss my as—"

"General, Let me do it." I immediately stopped his sentence, while I arrived near him.

"N-no way! Young Lord Auguste, what are you saying. You are the future of our Empires! I can't have you taking this risk, plus in the first point I won't be accepting it!" said Vanelland, while continuing.

"And I also have promised Lord Fluder to take care of you in this war. If anything were to happen to you, how can I show my face to him."

"You don't have to worry about it General Vanelland. I am confident in my skill and if I were to have my life in danger. I can simply fly through them and retreat. You know we need to hold them of for 5 days." I offered, while other 4 commanders also arrived near us.

"Hoho, How can we old man let you youngling to take such a risk, Let me go instead General, I am already nearly by my death bed ...Atleast let me die fighting for the Empire."

"No, Sir Whitlock ...How can I let you go, I already said I won't be accepting this proposal."

"What happened General Aaron?! where has your vigor from your previous War gone too?" a mockery came from the Kingdom side.

"General, We have to hold the Kingdom army for 5 days until our reinforcement arrive. So, I am the best option here without receiving any casualties because I don't think anyone in the Kingdom forces can fly right?" I said pointing my index finger in the sky.

"What do you mean by that, Young lord?"

"What I mean is, I will just fly in the air and stall time. You just have to make the General promise to not let his other remaining 30,000 army to move until I am dead or there entire army is massacred." I said, while some were a little taken back by my proposal.

"But, can you fly continuous for 5 days?" this time, Count Whitlock asked alittle care in his old eyes.

"You don't have to worry about that Sir Whitlock. Didn't I told you before, I came here because of four days of continuous flying." I said, while Whitlock gave me a nod.

"Then what about there archery?"

"I can easily dodge those mutt's arrows."

"Are you sure Young Lord?, Then please be careful ...but just remember, that I will be sure to help you, if your life were to be in any danger." exclaimed Vanelland, while I gave just agreed to it.

"Then, We accept your proposal General Zuga! March your 10,000 mens forward! I will be sending my Commander!" Vanelland shouted, while whole Kingdom army was surprised that we actually accepted this unreasonable proposal.

"Hahah! Good! Good! I really like your General Aaron! Are you the one who is coming?" Zuga laughed, hitting his thigh in joy.

"No! It is another commander of mine." replied Vanelland, making the joyous Zuga to suddenly stop his laughing as he had lost his interest.

"Commander Ruff and Nolane. you two can take command of 5,000 soldiers each and quickly kill that commander they are sending. If Aaron has selected him, he must be worthy opponent." General Zuga said to his subordinates, while the entire formation of Kingdom took a massive change. As 10,000 soldier began to march forward.

They had 2,000 light cavalry and 2,000 shieldmen in the frontline. 3,000 footsoldier and 3,000 bowmen behind them.

"Young Lord, Please be careful." Vanelland once again said, while I gave a nod ..before getting off my horse, I slowly walked forward.

While the entire 20,000 and 40,000 men's just focus there gaze at me. Alittle uncomforting, I still moved forward, when again that General Zuga roared.

"Are your mocking us! General Aaron! That brat is clearly only around 14 or 15 in age! You expect him to fight my army of 10,000! I am really disappointed in you!"

"Who cares about your disappointed! You aren't my friend or anything like that anyway!" Vanelland replied.

While, Ignoring there word ...I looked at them.

'‹Sharingan: Genjutsu›' I opened my sharingan, then activating my genjutsu. I began to walk forward, my pupil beaming red light like a demon, any soldiers that looked at my eyes directly fainted.

*Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Wh-What! What sorcery is this!" immediately a soldier exclaimed, while the next second I arrive dashed near him with my ‹Shukuchi Kai›, summoning my Excalibur, I beheaded him on the spot. Bloody fountain gushed from his cut off neck, I smirked at the army infront of me.

[‹Ghost of Uchiha› is laughing with your calmness! "Kill them all!"]

[‹I am not Freezer› "finally something worth watching"]

[‹King of Heroes› "hmmm"]

[‹Pink Joker› is now interested!]
