*Flashback 400 years ago in the other world/approximately 3.4 hours in the real world*
No One's POV
As John looked at the terrain with his army, he didn't know where or when will the war ends. Many fell since the first battle, around 48,000 men were gathered and John ordered his second in command to gather the troops about 500,000 men near the town of Guttenberg. He has readied his daggers and saw his men were forming lines to ready themselves in their destiny, as John was walking down to the edge and saw Howard whose waiting for me with his 1,000 men. As John walked down the mountain edge he said " John, our reinforcement will arrive here about 2 days. The demons will attack here about an evening, we need to build trenches and traps to delay them long enough before the reinforcements get here". As we walked towards the tent house and discuss the strategy to delay the enemy, as we enter and saw multiple commanders and lieutenants were planning to defend. while they were discussing they saw John and Howard in front of them, they bow and sit down on the long wooden table with 10 chairs to discuss. As we discussed how we can defend before the reinforcements arrived, as we were discussing a scout came in and salute before he handed his report to John, after that, he take it, removing the string and read about the scout's report. When he was reading the report he look up and tell the information to his commanders in a grave tone " Gentlemen, they looked at John. And continued "The town of Lifeson, Xavier, Derby, Perryville, and Barbara was now fallen into the enemy's hand. The 21st JomsViking Unit led by Troels the Iron Fist engages the enemy in the southeast about 1.5 km away and the enemy was preparing to conquer the town of Isenbul ". The people heard the news were shocked and starting a debate on how they can support the 21st JomsViking.
JOMSVIKING: They are an elite group where they became a spearhead of the operation, they copied the same name yet they were different from the real world. They designed to be a machine to defeat the demons about 100 to 1,000 yet they were perfect soldiers than the real world of the Norse mythology soldiers needed to, however, due to their fighting skills they were skilled at the battle-ax and swords. In the meantime, they were strict with their codes until their deaths. The one code that stuck them the most was, 'When you are about to die you need to find your enemy to bring him with you into Helheim(The same realm where the real world Norse has)'. They're class about High S to low Y class, they were elite warriors destined to die with their enemies to their last breath, they were respected and fear among their allies and enemies, they can turn into a monster in any situation.

While they were debating John asked Howard about SVÆRDHELGENER units he answered in whispered tone" No, we cannot lose our special warriors and especially they are the key to have the power to stand against the guardians inside the castles and put the end of this conflict. John nodded and Howard continued " John you are different than them, you complete all forms and creating a new one into the heat of the battle, so now, please have some rest for the final battle". John nodded and saw his katana on his left waist. After that, a messenger revealed himself in the state of exhaustion and terror he reported in a shouting tone. "BAD NEWS THE 21ST JOMSVIKING WERE NOW ON THE BRINK OF EXTENSION THEY ARE BUYING TIME TO READY OUR TROOPS TO DEFEND AND ALSO I NOTIFY THE COMMANDERS AND THE HIGHER UPS TO READY OUR FORCE! AFTER THAT THE DEMON NUMBERED AROUND 500,000 TO 1,000,000 DRAUGR FORCE LED BY APOLLYON WHOSE NOW MARCHING TOWARDS OUR POSITION!!!!!" The people were shocked and especially John and Howard they heard a slam and they looked and saw John who slammed the table a moment ago then he shouted "PREPARE OUR FORCES, THE TIME HAS COME THEY MAKE SLAVE TO US ALL!! I HAVE BETTER IDEA! I SAY WE DRENCHED THEIR BLOOD WITH THEIR GODS! WHAT WILL YOU SAY IT IS TIME TO MEET OUR FATE SHALL WE?". The people were laughing and they take their weapons towards the frontlines, Howard and the supreme commander looked at John with their smile in their face and Howard said " It seems you've become a great leader. however, you will face a devastating defeat. What is your plan then?". As the atmosphere began to heavier and the wind blows rogue and the responsibilities weigh on his shoulders. After that, John looked up and stared in front of him as Howard and the Commander of the army stand in front of John while he was thinking about the plan, John widened his eyes and said: "I think I have an idea". Hearing this the three of them appeared a smile on their faces.
*Meanwhile*
As the men were in a position waiting for orders and defend any campsite they have to keep 'em at bay for the arrival of their reinforcements. As the 48,000 men were ready to fight Howard and the supreme commander used their tactics and also they placed the spearmen's on the front while the swordsmen were behind, the range units were positioned themselves on the front they were tasked to delay the enemy at all cost gaining some killing spree. As the draugrs were marching and stop to form the line then ready to attack, Howard used his binocular to see the enemy movements.
*Meanwhile*
As John and the second in command of the army along with their 500 best soldiers were running to the mountains, running into the unknown. But, they trust their leader on what will they do, little did they knew that John will obviously call for the help to the 'people he knew the most'.

*Meanwhile on the battlefield*
As Howard and his army were ready to defend their position, the spearmen were formed a phalanx formation( A shield wall where it used by an Ancient Greece in the city-state called Sparta were the Greek-Persian War begun in Thermopylae 480 B.C.E). The second line was preparing themselves in case of the first line was breached, Howard was calm because he knew that he and his pupil laid a trap before they will breach the shield wall. As the draugrs were running towards the defenders in hot pursuit, Apollyon was watching in the mountain that faces a camp between his army and human resistance. Little did he not know that a trap was ready for them, when the enemy forces reached about 15km the floor suddenly cracked and one by one the draugrs were falling about 10km inside. Away from the surface, they were pierced by long black spears that were ready to penetrate the draugrs to death. As the draugrs fall in a trap one by one, they die while penetrated the spears through every parts of the body. The head, arms, legs, neck, chest, even they split into two parts the lower and upper body while the spear penetrates in too much force, as Apollyon saw his forces were halted in advance he saw a fire through the enemy camped and he gasped because he knew that they were walked into a trap. As the draugrs were standing and their feet were soaked in oil but they didn't know that they are going to burn alive. Meanwhile at the camp, as the archers were ready to release the 1st volley, the draugrs were having a hard time getting out the trap but, it was too late. As the archer fired their arrows leading to the oil where the army of draugrs stands, as the arrows reached the oil and all of a sudden the fire burst in front of them then the draugrs were screamed in pain and die in an instant.
*Meanwhile on the mountain*
As Apollyon observed the battlefield he screamed and roared in anger" TELL THOSE FOOLS TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO ANNIHILATE THOSE PESTS!!!!" As the yellow flame Draugr heard the order he nodded screamed as loud as like lightning strike to heard a new order.
*Meanwhile at the battlefield*
When the screamed heard and the human defenders were covering their ears, Howard closed his eyes and said to the supreme commander " Sir Claudia, it is time to plug the holes in every men we have. Prepare yourself and also the lives of men, it is a great service to you just in case we die". The man named Claudia looked at Howard, he laughed and fist pump on Howard's shoulder and replied " Aye, it is a good service and also it is not our time yet". Howard nodded and unsheathed his blade on run towards the left side because of the Draugrs were trying to breach it. however, the right side the Draugrs were having a hard time to bypass the left side because of the volley of archers plus with sticky mud draining the enemy forces advancement.
After 5 hours of fighting the defenders were having a hard time to plug the holes in the right side while Howard was busying to muster his force to keep the enemy at bay, while the right side was now safe and the Draugrs was decided to run to the right side and also the front was still struggling to make a bridge between them and their enemy. Meanwhile, at the mountains, Apollyon huffed in annoyance and decided to call a reinforcement, he looked at the red flaming Draugr and ordered" call a reinforcement about 5,000 Draugrs immediately". As the red flaming Draugr nodded and all of a sudden a flame burst up into Draugr's feet and ran north to call a reinforcement. Back to the fight, as the two sides were dwindling the Draugrs were suddenly halt and also gives human defenders in a midst of conclusion. They suddenly moved their attention on the west side on the stone plains, all of a sudden a sound of trumpets heard the battlefield and draugrs were facing on west and form in line. Howard ran towards where he left moments ago and saw the supreme commander facing on the west and asked " Howard those John succeeded?". As they continue watching John and his men, later on, they saw him and his 500 men, the supreme commander sigh in defeat and decided to call his men to attack. But, Howard said " No, he is not failed he already succeeded" all of a sudden the ground shake a little in a few minutes it turns violently and revealed so many people that stood beside John.
*Meanwhile on the west side of the stone plains*
As John looked at his base and saw that it was still standing in the meantime, many people soon join and stand beside him and the leader of every group stand in front of him and they bow to pay their respect to John and going back to their respective position. As John fix his eyes on his enemies and shouted " IT IS TIME TO SHOW WHO WE ARE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE WILL RULE THIS WORLD!!!! The people shouted and roared " KILL THEM ALL!! And all of a sudden a sound of horns begins to play and John shouted "KILL THEM ALL!!! The people roared and start running towards the enemy and thus giving the human defenders hope and soon a loud war cry joins the rally. The supreme commander replied to Howard's statement " Howard you really raise a fine leader". Howard smiles and replied, " Yes he is".
