A soldier looked up and saw many black things flying towards their place.

-woosh- the air pressure and speed from the projectiles made a clear sound whenever they were getting close.

The solder realized what was coming to them, yet it was already late.

"everyone!! retreat! it's a..."

-splaaat- Fresh blood splatted from the head of the soldier. The projectiles got right on his eyes. Just in a split second, his body dropped to the ground like a puppet that its string got cut.

-bruugh- One body fell, but no one realized it. The rest of the soldiers were faced with their strong opponent.

"-kkgghh- why they can easily....dodge... my attack!!" they brandished their sword, yet their opponent already dodged the moment their sword moved.

"just wait when I can..."

-splaaat- He was down. Blood came from his head. He wasn't moved.

-bruugh- Not for long, one after another fell to the ground. It came so fast, two time faster than arrow could achieve.

"retreat!! we need to move to our archer attack range!"

"Move!!! now it's time to push them!!" Barry gave signal to the others

The Half-beast only around half of the humans soldier number, yet supported by projectiles and their physical advantage made them superior at this moment.

"hmm, how come they aren't realized it yet... the weight of the armor and their weapon, no helmet, outside of archer effective range..."

"if this is purely caused by their ignorance and useless pride and number... hee, this could explain a lot.." Yana observed the enemies response

Only ten minutes since they started their war, more than thirty soldiers fell. The fatal blow from Half-beast and projectiles were limiting their option. Either fought or fleed, they would face a hard situation.

Everytime they wanted to retreat, the Half-beast took that chance to attack them. Even if they could evade it, the projectiles would prevent them to retreat.

"add the reinforcement. The archer also push forward" their chief gave command to the banner man

"men!! foward!!" the rest of the soldier marched to the front

"raise your shield!! protect your head!!" they wanted to anticipate that projectiles

The archers moved forward, step by step, they were getting closer to the Half-beast.

-Bruugh- the last body of the first wave soldier fell to the ground. Barry took a deep breath and tried to control his body. This was the first time he killed and went to war, yet it felt rather easy and sense of death didn't linger in his mind.

"it's totally like what the savior said....even they were outnumbered us..."

-woooooaaa- another forty soldier marched toward them. This time, with iron shield protected their head.

"stop!!" Yana shouted at the women and children

"why savior?!! our support is really effective?"

Yana smiled.

"because of that.. I need two people come with me. One of them will bring some rocks and other projectiles"

"I'll go with you sir Yana!!" Shanti volunteered herself

"I'll go too. Is this enough savior?" one of the mother brought a medium sack with rocks and other things as projectiles

"good. There's no doubt in your eyes"

Yana stretched his body. He prepared his body and mind.

"....sir Yana.?? where will you go?" Shanti confused now

"me..? we will go"

"-huup- I'm ready. As long as I can protect my family" She brought the sack on her back

"-fuuh- let's go.. we will go to the front line"

"eh?!" Shanti still couldn't get it
