Chapter 64 - Reunite
Akkar looked around, and he saw that quite a few melee fighters died in the middle of the battlefield. He guessed that there were around less than 190 or more that survived. A pretty good number considering that it's the first time they have done it. And they have fought for more than 10 minutes.
"Heal!!" Elise healed Akkar after they retreated behind the shield wall.
"What's the situation??" Akkar asked while his low health points stabilized.
"Bad, very bad, the mana potions need to arrive in the next 3 minutes, or else the goblins will break through our shields. It will only be a matter of time before we lose without the melee fighters on the battlefield." Elise answered as she wiped the sweat on Akkar's forehead.
"Thanks, I'll do what I can." Akkar started walking away from her as he stepped out of the shield wall.
"Take care," Elise stared at Akkar as he walked away from her. She felt happy now that she had the opportunity to get close and know the person she admired. And he did not disappoint her as she saw the current him, the same person she admired on the screen for a very long time. He still never gives up, no matter how bad the situation is. Standing tall and gallant against his enemies.
"ALL MELEE FIGHTERS GO IN FRONT OF THE SHIELD WALL!!"
"WE NEED TO HOLD THE LINE!!
"15 MINUTES!!"
"HOLD ON FOR 15 MINUTES!!"
"IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO DYING, GO INSIDE AND HEAL UP!!" Akkar roared as he split a goblin in half close to him. He held his ax as he looked at the battlefield in front of him. No matter how many enemies were present. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Akkar's chest swelled up. His breath was sealed. And the pressure in his abdomen rose.
Then he roared
"I AM AKKARRRRR!!!!!!"
The earth trembled, and the ground shook like an earthquake was occurring. For a moment, all the troops on the battlefield stumbled.
"MY NAME IS AKKARRR!!!
"I'LL STAND MY GROUND AND DEFEND THIS VILLAGE AT ALL COST!!!!!"
Akkar roared and swung his great ax. Goblins rushing at him were split apart.
"FOR THE COMMANDER!!!!"
"FOR THE VILLAGE!!!!"
"DELETE THESE MOTHERF*CKERS!!!!!"
"OORRAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" All melee fighters followed their gallant commander once more.
Dead bodies piled up on the battlefield as sword and shield clashed one after the other. The goblins had overwhelming numbers, but the strength of the guardians dominated. Akkar's strategy of standing at the forefront was effective. The enemy's power was crushed by their vanguard. While the scattered goblin remnants were swallowed by their shield wall's spears.
"This is my last stand. Do your best, the two of you." Akkar mumbled with a hoarse voice from all the shouting he was doing. While wielding his great ax at the very front, as he stared in the direction of Alex and Ezekiel.
While on the distance. Ezekiel is having difficulty reuniting with Alex as handling 1 red hobgoblin is already giving him a hard time. He needs to reunite with him as soon as possible because he has already seen Alex used her 2 potions. Even though she is doing better than him at fighting the elite hobgoblins, she still receives damage every second.
"Haaaa!!" Alex breathed out the air she held inside her after she trampled a hobgoblin on the ground.
"Hufffff!!" Alex took a very deep breath and will hold it in till she kills a group of goblins. And create space to have a breather.
Alex's trembling hands ripped apart her enemies. She slammed her sword into the faces of those who were annoying her and broke their skulls to pieces. Focusing on those who have unpleasant smells and loud growling noises.
Her heart isn't calming down at all. Each time her heart beats, her entire body trembles. Every time her pulse jumped, the craving for more rocked her body.
Alex's weapon changes every time she kills a hobgoblin. From swords to axes to spears and a lot more. She held every weapon with mastery as if it was fit for her. Her weapons pierced, cut, and smashed her enemies. She was never satisfied with just one life. If one was killed, it would penetrate through the body and kill one more. She kills two to three each strike she does.
Countless enemies flocked towards her, but just like sheeps were unable to deal with wolves. Alex struck the elite hobgoblins and broke apart their formation. However, it was filled up by hobgoblins in an instant.
"Haaaa!!" Alex breathed out the air she held inside her once more. "They are a lot stronger than I thought..." Her number one priority right now is to reunite with Ezekiel. As she sees, her health plummets each minute.
"Huffff!!" Alex took a very deep breath. Her breath was sealed, and the pressure in his abdomen rose. Since it is pointless staying on the defensive as they'll just slowly kill her. All of her strikes were focused on the offensive. Her double ax looked like they were dancing. Following a rhythm as she moves between the enemy's gaps in their defense.
Her dual ax shook like flowers. The hobgoblin tried to block her attacks with its spears. However, the ax was right in front of their nose instead. The tremendous pressure pushed the hobgoblin towards the ground.
Alex clenched her dual ax once more. Each of her attacks stirred her opponent's formation. She did not bother defending or dodging. She keeps moving forward in Ezekiel's direction.
"STOP HER!!!" The goblin shaman shouted, seeing her getting closer and closer to her companion. He threw all kinds of spells at her just to slow her down. He isn't confident that his elite goblins can kill her if she reunites with her companion.
"Come!!" Ezekiel reached out his hand to her.
Now that the distance between Ezekiel and her is close enough. Alex pushed her feet off the ground. It was an explosive acceleration that seemed to leap across space.
"HEAL!!" Ezekiel howled as soon as he grabbed a hold of Alex's hand.
