Rise of the Horde

The Skallsers flooded to the alleys close to the main street while the bulk of the Drakhars moved forward through the primary road of the town. “There’s no more room to retreat to…Sh*t! The idiots at the back are pushing as forward.” A man holding two blades turned towards his companions after failing to squeeze his way into the crowd but there was no space left for him to squeeze himself to. “To the alleys…” one of them pointed to the small paths to the side and dashed towards it, those who were in front and already knew of the danger scampered to the backstreets of the town leaving behind those in the crowd who were yet to know of the danger that they are heading to as they tried their best to rush forward to the front.

The massive desertion of those in the front of the crowd freed up a lot of space which allowed the ones who were behind them to see of what was at the front. The Skallsers secured the small paths beside the central path of the town and the small contingencies of Drakhars formed up right behind them to sweep through the streets. “Oh crap! They are everywhere!” a man who entered to the side streets cried out after seeing a group of Drakhars sweeping through the path that they are at, “No choice then, let’s go through them!” a man carrying a huge axe rallied them as he charged forward towards the small groups of Drakhars and his bravery was rewarded as those who were with him also charged forward.

There was a grin on his lips as he caught sight of those with him by the corner of his eyes following after his charge, their foes didn’t do anything except just march forward towards them with their long spears pointed forward. He run with great speed like he was really aiming to plunge towards the formation of their foes but little did his allies know that he had other plans. When he was almost at the range of the spears, he took a quick right turn on the next alley ahead successful evading the spearhead that was thrusted forward aiming for him by a few inches. The Drakhars ignored the one who escaped as they moved forward, their foes who were crazy enough to charge right to their formation were greeted by their weapons as they skewered some of them. Those who were smart enough slid down low to the ground to avoid the first wave of spears that was thrusted forward.

The ones who thought that they were smarter than spears were all smiles as the spears went above them while they stayed close to the ground but then their joy was short-lived as another set of spears headed for them in an angle from above, the weapons of their foes who were behind the first two lines had them in their range and they were pierced through while lying down on the ground.

At the main street of the town, Khao’khen was at the rear of the Drakhars who were six man in depth as they moved forward while Adhalia was right beside him and she acted like she was out on a stroll as her gaze kept going all over the place like she was a tourist of some sort. The Drakhars just kept moving forward and run their spears through their foes who were within their range, the Ereians didn’t know how to respond to the situation since they would be already dead or wounded before they could get their foes in the range of their weapons.

“Tsk… Use the buildings on the side to get inside their formation.” A woman among the crowd shouted while pointing her daggers towards the walls of the buildings up ahead, “She is right! Use the walls!” the man beside her who has a scimitar as a weapon responded then directed for his men to do just as what his lover suggested. A group of men wearing cloaks rushed forward then with the momentum of their sprint, they climbed a few meters up the walls before jumping right at the center of their enemy’s formation. “Spears up!” Khao’khen shouted and the Drakhars raised their spears and pointed it towards the sky. “Fuck!” Someone among those who were falling down towards the Drakhars cursed after seeing the row of spears that was waiting for them.
