Two hour ago, when the un wa in the middle of the ky glitening brightly, oldier who were on the firt defence line walked to and fro and patrolled the area with bored epreion.

Thi place had alway been boring for them. With no one in ight, they jut convere among themelve.

Mot of them were drowy, due to the boring urrounding. In a place like thi, there wa no need to hold their drowine, o mot of the enior official were already having weet dream after leaving the younger one to guard the pot.

"Huh!" Taking a deep breath a oldier poke.

"The weather i quite pleaant today. It would be nice to go for a picnic or a party. Have ome good food and laze around but all we have to do i wate time here on thi barren land."

"Hey, don't ay that. If the uperior litened to it we would be punihed."The oldier beide him interrupted him and aked him to keep hi voice.</anda>

The oldier who wa patrolling around uddenly noticed omething wa miing and hi eye widened.

Although he couldn't ee anything, he felt a light vibration. He kneeled and put hi ear on the ground and heard a faint ound.

"A group i coming, I have to report it quickly."

Notifying everyone beide him, he looked for hi enior officer in the fort, who wa drooling with hi head on the table.

"Senior, get up. We are in trouble."

‘…jut how much time had paed?'He cracked hi houlder and tried to get up in hi half-leep tate.

At the time, the window hined brightly.

He aw a huge fiery bright light and poke" Did you wake me up to ee the firework? It had been a while ince I aw omething like thi."

"Sir, that' not a firework, it i an attack from the flare."The oldier beide him creamed in panic.

"What!" The man uddenly creamed and hi heart drowned in fear a the bright light appeared before them in an intant and hit the wall.

BOOM!

The entire place hook violently.

When he woke up forcefully, he thought of punihing the man but looking at the cene outide the fortre, he wa utterly peechle.

Far away he could ee thouand of people lining up and attacking the place.

Behind them, flare were already lit up aiming to take down the wall.

He tared at them and with a ingle glance, he recognied the force with the flag of Arkham Empire.

He wa dumbfounded for a moment and houted"Call the commander, contact the general."

"Ak troop to end the meage to the other defence line."

"Ye Sir!" The oldier houted and immediately ran away along with other to relay the order.

Even though the enemy had croed the border and come cloer to the radiu of a kilometre, their preence went unnoticed.

The commander who wa greatly dipleaed by the udden change came out hurriedly trying to organie the troop.

"What the hell are the cout doing?"He creamed.

If not for the current ituation, he would kill them firt."

Vicount Lukin, the commander of the firt defence confirmed the thing happening before hi eye with a pale face.

The enemy took advantage of their la dutie and neaked in after the cout' return after which there wa no hift.

Moreover, they eemed to be a wide area of inviible mak cloak pell.

He took the mana ignalling tone and tried to relay the information to the centre but it made a buzzing ound and didn't connect.

He tried again and again but the communication fell and hi heart tarted to ink in depair.

"Damn!" He cured and threw the tone.

The huge armie were drawing near wa menacing and according to the rule, they hould act immediately and attack them firt and prevent the wall from falling.

But if he attacked now, it would begin the war due to hi order. And what if the Arkham Empire jutified thi a an army drill and accued them of tarting the war?

He wanted to ak direction from the capital and do what they aid. After all, he can't bear the in if thi wan't an attack.

"Commander Lukin, we need to attack. They are coming cloer. If we heitate now, they will oon breach u eaily."

Lukin gritted hi teeth in anger and aid"Deploy the archer and prepare to attack. Jut pull the bow but don't engage."

"I am repeating. Don't engage."He houted

"Give them a warning firt."

"We retaliate if they attack firt."

A loud warning wa heard from the place which aked the enemie to diengage but oon he realized that he had made a tupid mitake.

The enemie had no intention of talking a the ditance to the fortre became cloer, they rang the trumpet and the commander of the oppoite ide ordered them to charge at the enemie in union.

THUD!THUD!THUD!

The earth tarted to hake due to large tride and oon the war blew out.

It wa a full-cale attack.

It all happened in an intant and the oldier from the Arkham Empire all ruhed through with the iege weapon which atounded Kinley' oldier greatly.

They were too hocked to react a they had never imagined a cene like thi.

Lukin quickly came to hi ene and ordered the attack without any mercy.

"Everyone fire the arrow."

"Fire our flare."

"Mage, take your poition."

"Don't hold back anything. Wipe out the invader."

Hundred of arrow and projectile roe in the air and fell over the flock of enemie.

Even though there wa a menacing ight threatening their live, they didn't fall back and raied their hield in formation trying to counter the attack.

Mot of the arrow couldn't even reach them and fell before, while thoe who managed to reach the other ide didn't contain much momentum to deal the damage.

Thi wan't jut a lack of training but alo due to carelene in ituation awarene. Jut eeing uch a ight caue many to tremble.

How could an archer aim properly, with trembling hand?

While their flare were till charging, the flare from the other ide tarted the bombardment.

The fire pread all around, dut tarted to rie high up into the ky and the ituation wa a me.

The weapon and armament were not prepared in advance and oon oldier ran out of arrow and hurried back to get them.

Mage were ehauted quickly and oon ladder were placed on the wall and the enemie tarted to climb up.

Lukin' face turned pale eeing the ight. He knew that if thi went on, they won't lat long.

He decide to end the meenger to ak for the reerve unit and inform the other while hoping for hi men to be able to lat long enough.

The enemie have jammed their mana ignal which increaed their difficulty.

If they hadn't done thi, they would already have reinforcement by now.

Kinley' oldier went out and clahed againt the enemie but with a ingle glance, one could notice that they were at a diadvantage.

Lukin, knew that it wa a reality and they were on loing end and becaue of their carelene and incompetence, many would loe their live.

And it didn't even take two hour for Arkham to break through the gate and conquer the firt defence line.
