Collide: Two Realities Become One

Part 55: Coalition onslaught

"Loose!!" As he yelled the order a volley of arrows rained down on the Harkan enemy.

Their arrows proven no use, the mage's shields gave protection to the enemy legion. It forced the opposing army to start to make use of the orc's most valuable weapon in terms of getting rid of the pesky shield barriers.

The shield buster started to roll behind the legion, siege engineers quickly got to work on setting up the weapon. It was similar to a catapult but with a shorter range, reasonable for the projectile it throws.

The only thing the magic barrier is not resistant to is magic, a substance covered a spiked boulder that will nullify the shield barrier for it to easily break under the weight of the projectile.

"Ready!" Yelled out a 2nd knight behind the line of shield busters.

"Loose!" He said the order, one siege weapon then another started to throw the projectile towards the shield barrier. Its nullifying powers immediately kicked in weakening the shield dome, it was also noticed by the mages witnessing the shield fluctuate a bit.

Confused by what could potentially be causing the fluctuation, but their answer was clearly above them hurdling down. Before the Harkans can think of a way their shield dome was broken by the heavy spiked boulders that crushed multiple swordsmen and pikemen to a dark red pulp.

"The shield is down! We're exposed!" Said a Harkan.

"Shields! In front!" Yelled a Harkan officer.

Marching towards the front line covering the musketeers the shield bearers formed a strong line with the small holes for the muskets to poke at. Their timing and training was fast, enough for the archers to fail their attempted attack.

"Loose!" Said the knight of the opposing legion.

Arrows were shot but the musketeers were left unharmed and the front line resisted the attack.

"Fire!" A harkan officer yelled.

A fierce volley fired at the opposing army, the shields of their soldiers were too weak to even resist the bullets of the muskets. Many fallen immediately once shots rang the entire battlefield.

"Sire!" A young swordsman ran towards the Knight, "if we continue fighting we'll suffer mass casualties!"

"We cant let this hill be belonging to the enemy! Reinforcements are coming we must prevail the attack!"

"But sire-"

"-silence! i have sent an envoy to the other legions, they will arrive here as soon as things are hopeless."

Hopeless it was, barely a wound was formed on the Harkan legion, they were formidable. The previous legions that were sent by the Harkans is a way to buy them time to get the more trained and experienced legions to arrive at the eastern side.

And it didn't took them a week for their presence to be known. Their elite legions are yet to show their faces but the legions sent here would pretty much do some damage. Zorzal was the leading strategist to counterattack this "attempt" on trying to get rid of the Harkans off Falmart.

The massive team up against the Harkans made it to the townspeople and they began to panic if Falmart was about to fall and be held by chains by the Harkan empire. Barely a few have faith that the empires would succeed in kicking off the Harkans, because all they did was slowing their advance and not stop it at all.
