BATTLE MINAS...
I flew to the gates and readied for the attack while my guards rallied themselves to defend "are the shields ready " I said as the tower around the city shot beams of magic in the air and formed a shield "now they can not use catapults against us and the only way into the city is the bridge" I said.
"Sir it looks like there is someone of the bridge" my captain said as I looked to the figure walking towards us he was In a strange armor I could not see his face but his armor was black and a eye on the helmet and I could feel some kind of magic in it an as it reached the gate he said.
"I challenge the ruler of this city to a duel" he yelled as I jumped down.
"I accept" I said as he charged I was still getting a strange feeling from his armor so I proceeded with caution and wanted to end this quickly so I flew to his side a tried to set him ablaze with my wraith fire but it had no effect and he swung sword and I dodged I now knew for a fact something was up with his armor 'it must have nullified my power' I thought as I charge him and as I swung my sword he reacted in a instant and blocked it and kicked me away as I skidded across the stone blocks but I did not fall 'I need to find a way past his armor' I thought as I spotted a weakness the elbows and knees they were lightly protected and I charged again but every move I made he blocked and countered my attacks.
I had to think of a new plan his armor made my powers useless and he could read my every move I charged him again but with a new plan as I used my magic to make a copy of myself and made him go in one direction while I went another and we charged him together and he used his arm guards to defend against our attacked while the copy sword went through because he was a illusion my blade meet it mark and hit his arm it did not break through but it cut a good chunk of his armor off as I grabbed it and threw it over the wall so I could look at it later. The person in the armor still stood strong as he charged me and thrust his sword forward and it went through me and my blood coated the blade and I felt every bit of it my ability to dull pain did not work as I put every thing I had into one punch and it hit him a few dozen feet away and I hid my pain and when he got up he ran away and I flew to my city and fell to the ground as I landed and my guards caught me before I hit the ground "I want that armor analyzed now" I yelled in pain as a few guards grabbed I and walked away as a few of my personal guards came to heal me and I saw luna and the other running towards me.
"What happened to you" luna said as she looked at my wounds.
"We are under attack and a warrior in black armor challenged me I thought if I beat him the army would run but some how his armor nullified my magic and his blade was able to wound me I think it is made of the same metal" I said as luna's eyes widened.
"It can't be" she said
"What can't be" I said.
"When we were at war with the warlord we found a metal that was able to weaken and wound him it is one of the rarest metals of all it is what allowed us to match him and kept him from winning for hundreds of years as we fought against him" she said as I sat down.
"And what of the eye on his armor is was not just decoration" I said.
"It might be a oracles eye there are only a few out there but they are able to predicts a enemy's moves" luna said as I looked to the army outside my gate.
"We will hold we have the advantage they can only come though the bridge it is the only way in and with the stone golems we can produce food and we have several animals we can use to fed every one and I found a way to get meat with out killing them" I said as luna looked to the army.
"Sir the men and anyone willing to fight are ready" the captain.
"Good load the artillery and have archers on the wall at all times" I said as he gave orders and everyone started to do their part "I want spear men at the gate incase it is breached and I want civilian gathered at the tower and I want the captain of my personal guard to watch over them" I ordered and they were acknowledged " I want all of you to go with them luna you stay twilight, tempest can you keep an eye on Aiko" I said as they walked away and luna stayed behind with me.
"What will we do" Luna asked.
"Me and you will help and the gate they might try to climb the wall me and you will keep them off and that black warrior might come back and your magic might be able to stop him" I said as we got on top of the wall and we heard war horn as saw arrows and flaming boulders coming towards us and them were blocked by the shield. I saw the first wave of enemy coming over the bridge and the archers were ready to fire "Fire" I yelled as I wave of arrows flew through the air and meet the marks many of the enemies had large shields that slowed them to blocked the arrows but the comrades were not so luck as they were impaled by arrows as it took out a good chunk of the first wave and the archers continued to fire and I saw the shields were protecting ladders "swords men and berserkers I want you up here" I yelled as I heard heavy footsteps behind me and I turned around to see them standing at attention "they are going to try to climb the wall I want you to destroy their ladders and any who manage to get up here do not let them near the archers I want them dead" I said with authority and I turned back around. "Luna can you see their commanders" I said.
"No I think this soldiers ere sent to try to exhaust us" she said.
"Captain how many iron steel and mithril golems do we have" I asked.
"About 500 sir 250 iron 200 steel and 50 mithril" he said.
"I want them brought here they are suited for combat so if the gate is breached I want them to push them back while the spear men form a defensive line at the gat while they hold back the army on the bridge. "And I want some mithril armor brought here so I can fight that black warrior" I said as I saw a guard carry out my order
"the enemy were still pushing there assault and were losing ground fast as they were dying by the dozens. Then I heard the horn again and they started to retreat and after they left I went to the artillery. "Is their camp in range" I said and they nodded and I looked at their encampment and said "give them hell for attacking us" I said as they fired and I saw hundreds of boulders ballista arrows and explosives fired from the catapults and as they reached the camp I heard screaming and yelling as the artillery took out a chunk of there camp as they started to run
and after the artillery stopped they retreated inti the forest "How many did we get" I asked as the captain walked to my side.
"About 15000 were killed and we suffered some injuries some arrows made it past the shield and hit a few people but there are no dead" he said.
"I am going to the tower to check on everyone" I said as I started flying.
When I got to the tower everyone was waiting for me "The danger is over for now but they might come back I am going to send some of my guards to ponyville to secure it" I said as they nodded in agreement and Aiko hugged me and we went inside.
