Chapter 100: Battle at the Beast Grave Canyon (East) III
[Beast Grave Canyon]
Under the lead of Junaid and his brothers, the rest of the southern forces alongside joint with the 27th, 28th, and 29th army then rushed up towards the center of the bridge in order to take down their target opponent situated in the area. In other words their main target of assault is the strongest tribal chief of the eastern tribe Gundahar himself.
As for the three brothers, Kavan is currently wielding his huge shield half his size together with his mace, while Koa is wielding his spear, and Junaid wielding his own battle axe.
As they charge forefront towards the formation of their enemies, they also then took down numerous mobile ballistas along the way and killed some eastern tribal warriors riding on top of their tamed beast. With each step they took, they then slowly come closer towards their expected target for this assault.
However the eastern tribes just wouldn't let them be done in just like that, once the southern tribes managed to push their way through near the middle of the bridge while breaking through their front formation, their attacks then soon grew fiercer as the supports from the ranged unit from the back aided their counter force at the front. With slight guidance from their respective commanders, the eastern tribal units wielding bows and arrows then rushed up to their side of entrance of the bridge as they stretched out the strings of their bow before releasing them into the air.
"Incoming! Take cover!!!"
Seeing the hail of arrows, some southern tribe warriors wielding a shield then raise up their their defensive structure as they covered their whole body away from the arrow of death striking from above. As the shielders bravely protected themselves, the other warriors then tried their best to outrun the hailing arrows from above as they ran forward and rammed their whole body towards the enemy, before using them as a meat shield for their own. As for the few they just tried their best to either dodge the arrow or parry them to the ground.
Even though each and everyone in the area used their own mean of protection from the arrows above, some were still done I'm as they got pwirced to the head and die in cold blood in this bloody battlefield filled with death.
After the rain of arrows ceded, a lot of the southern tribal warriors at the front were taken out, while some were in pain and agony from getting injured in their critical area. But despite their condition, the eastern tribes then took their moment of weakness, as a whole lot of them assaulted the recovering group and begun their massive killing spree.
With that both the southern tribes and the eastern tribes once more clashed against each other as they all tried to get the upperhand in this war they had initiated.
About two hours have passed, both side then incurred a lot of casualties from either sides as their own strong leaders begun show signs of weakening due to exhaustion from the battle. Surprisingly this time none of the leaders from either the east or south were killed in this time frame, after all with the sudden influx of soldiers, each leaders from respective tribes naturally have their hands full in dealing with the warriors from either sides.
This time another wave of reinforcements came from the eastern front as they rushed into the battlefield and assisted the leaders fighting at the field, this time a total of about 13 tribal leader of the eastern tribe are present at the battlefield, which slowly pushed back the southern tribal warriors once more. Apparently Callan, Gundahar's friend isn't included in the number, after all Gundahar had prohibited his friend and brother to join the battle in the bridge for some unknown reason only known to him.
Since that was the case, Callan simply stepped back in frustration and confusion on why his friend Gundahar prohibits him from returning to the field.
While that was happening due to the sudden rush of the enemy forces, Junaid was then separated from his brothers as he got surrounded from all sides and forced him to go all put just to survive the onslaught. On the other hand his brothers are unexpectedly facing the greatest and strongest chieftain of the eastern tribe after killing some eastern tribal warriors along the way.
Wielding their respective weapons, both Kavan and Koa looked at each other as they both have complicated gaze plastered unto their faces and slight nervousness when facing the said strongest leader of the east. In fact they weren't even sure if both of them combined could take down Gundahar, Nevertheless this is a war, they can't back down now for the sake of their own family.
"No backing down" muttered by Kavan
"... No backing down" replied by Koa
"No retreat" said by Kavan
"... No retreat!!!" Said by Koa
"Take him down!!!" Shouted by Kavan
"Grahhhhh!!!!" Shouted by Koa
Feeling their resolve within their voices, Gundahar prohibits his warriors to interfere their 2v1 battle as he must respect the courage the brothers shows in front of a bigger threat. Commanding his glacial bear he is currently mounted unto, he then charged forward as his bear bared its teeth and roared back.
The first one Kavan took ahead step forward as he used his huge shield and slammed his whole body towards the towering glacial bear charging towards him, but due to the strength of the beast, he was then easily blown away by the swing of its front claws, before getting pounded down by Gundahar on top who is wielding a hammer on his free hand.
Quickly crashing on his back, Kavan immediately rolled to the side in order to avoid the glacial bears stomp as he raised up his shield in time in order to block Gundahar's follow up of a hammer swing. The moment Kavan got pushed back, Koa then quickly jumped into the air in front of Gundahar and thrusted his spear forward which was dodged easily by the person himself.
When Gundahar tried to counter back with another hammer swing, Koa forcefully wielded his spear into an unimaginable angle as he swept it up and parried back the swing attack. The moment he succeeded on his parry, he then landed on the ground rolling backwards as he let Kavan take the lead once more and smashed his mace towards the glacial bears face, which literally agitate the bear and made it hard for Gundahar to control the beast.
"Take ahold of yourself!"
While Gundahar was trying to control the glacial bear, Kavan then quickly took this chance as he used his elemental aura of earth for fortify his body and slammed his whole might towards the beast and forcing it to crash down unto the ice. Noticing their intent, Gundahar quickly dismounted his beast as he jumped into the air and prepared himself in smashing down his opponent. However before his hammer could even reach Kavan, Koa's spear then smoothly slid in between and parried the strike and force to the side, followed up by the knock back which blew Gundahar a few distance away.
The moment Gundahar and the glacial bear was separated, the battle tactics of the brothers then shifted to its phase two as Kavan was entrusted on dealing with the bear and Koa was entrusted in dealing with Gundahar. With both of them having their own assigned role, they then charged fearlessly towards their opponent as they used every ounce of their body to fight their battle.
Upon noticing their tactic, Gundahar reciprocate their feelings as he charged forward and attacked Koa with his hammer. Swinging his hammer as he parries the spear, Gundahar slowly come closer towards Koa as he struck out a fist to the face which blew away the person himself for about a few steps back, causing him to be momentarily shocked from the impact to its head.
Taking this slight gap in battle, Gundahar then quickly approaches Koa as he swung his hammer once more and this time aiming for the back of his head. Once he manage to hit his opponents head, he was quite sure that he would be able to kill him directly as he intend to finish the fight much earlier than expected. But before his hammer could hit its target, Koa's instincts suddenly kicks up as he dodged the attack and delivered a low blow towards Gundahar.
Shaking off the feel of being stunned, Koa then used his own elemental aura of wind in order to assist his charge and suddenly blitzing his way towards Gundahar. Assisted by his elemental aura of wind, Koa sent numerous quick thrust towards Gundahar as he occasionally dodge his attacks and successfully deliver a counter blow.
It was like the very nature himself was assisting Koa, with each of his movement, he manage to lead astray Gundahar's senses as he dealt blow after blow to his body. However despite the rise of difficulty in dealing with his opponent, Gundahar seemed undeterred as he continues to fight back while observing the rhythm of his movement.
Due to that Koa quickly caught on towards Gundahar's intention as he begun to raise his speed once more and added multiple random variables in his movement which caused Gundahar to actually take the defensive and unable to even counter back.
Soon after Gundahar's body was riddled with injuries as he was slowly bleeding out and getting even more exhausted from this battle. But as if he was boosted by some drugs, he quickly raised up the level of his aura as he efficiently covered his whole body with a full defense armor and the air slowly being stagnant with cold air.
Breathing out a cold air from his mouth, his aura then quickly shoot upwards as his body then instantly pushed back Koa and freezing the very air around him, causing everyone to suddenly pull their attention towards their direction.
At the same time Kavan quickly noticed this sudden change in the air as he glanced towards his brothers direction and saw how the battle on their side was leading up. With an intent to aid his brother, he then pushed back the glacial bear with his shield as he smashed his mace towards its face for about three times, before doing a shield slam towards its nose.
After that he then pulled up a spear from the side as he dropped his mace and used it to pierce through the beast throat. However despite being pierced by a spear, the glacial bear still didn't gave up as it haggardly roared out and broke the spear in two. Following it the glacial bear then begun to rampage all over Kavan as it destroyed Kavan's shield using its claws and teeth, before throwing the human towards a distance away.
Even thought it's exhausted and it's blood is being spilt from his throat, the glacial bear held his pain inside its heart as it forced out a roar and charged towards Kavan himself. In response to that, Kavan then dodged the glacial bear's initial charge as he rolled to the side and pulled out a sword from the ground.
Slashing the sword in every way, Kavan then took out one of the bears eye, as he tried to quickly follow it up by slashing towards its other remaining eye. But before his sword could reach the bears eye, the glacial bear itself then struck down his hand, causing him to drop the sword and be pushed back by a large swipe which penetrated through his earthen armor.
Luckily for him he was pushed back at the distance in which the broken spear laid waste. Using one of the part of the broken spear, he then used his other arm with its armguard in tact as he block the mouth that aimed for his throat as the glacial bear tried to bite down him down to death.
With the bear fully concentrated in his slowly breaking apart armguard, he then rose up the broken spear into the air as he stabbed it through its head and used his whole might to actually pierce through the beasts brains. After all no matter how strong the beast is, once it's brain is damaged, it would naturally die on its own.
With that in mind he then struggled with the bear who tried to get away from him as it rampage all over the field. However despite all of that Kavan never let go of his opponent as he even locked his whole body unto the Bea while pushing down the broken spear through the beast thick skull.
After for what seems like a minute of struggle, the glacial bear then ceased to function properly as it fell down to the ground, while Kavan was still clinging tightly unto it and never letting go. Soon after about three quick breaths, the glacial bear then teared out in pain as if it was regretting something as the light in its eyes died out and leaving Gundahar to take care of the rest.
With that the Glacial bear who was with Gundahar ever since his days as the young adult and watched his family grow like a guardian beast, then died in battle as it left its sole old friend and tamer all alone to fend for himself.
At that Gundahar's glacial bear then took the first step as it walk down the stage of this bloody battlefield.
