While the city brigades were being killed the king had left the city days before. He stood in a large tent with four advisors. His general of the Golden Boar army and personal army loyal to the King. A young man with stubble upon his chin and pink eyes. He had slicked back brown hair and a scar across his right cheek. He was scowling as he stood hearing the report being given to the king. "The Chivalry army is quite formidable this time your liege. They have a new weapon that wipes out our forces left and right with ease" the Boar Mask of the King was staring at the lieutenant. "What is this weapon?" He was blunt and to the point. The man straightened up, "Seems some augmenting magic? They manifested armor that looked like a human mixed with a beast. The metal looked otherworldly as it flowed like liquid coating around them. The four Blades that came wiped out many single handedly" the War King tapped his finger. "Seems they have been dabbling in some alchemy and forging? Does it make sense being one of their many specialties?" He stood up crossing his arms behind his back staring at the lieutenant with the static boar's mask. He could see his reflection looking back at him in the bronze color.
"What did these beast men look like?" The officer lowered his eyes. The office knew he was mocking him. But to answer would only add more ridicule to his already failed report. "What he says is a true account. I saw it with my own eyes. Seemed the longer the battle continued the more grew feeding on the chi from the air" the other lieutenant spoke up. The king remained calm and seemed to be nodding at himself. 'So the rumors were true they were able to make the living armor of mythical beasts and combine them with a host. This does complicate things and the only one who can defeat them would be. I knew I shouldn't have left the brigades back in the city. But they are not loyal, merely loyal to the coin. I'm lucky they still fall in line and do the bidding I give them' he went back to his seat and folded his hands together. He began to think about what they should do. 'I have ten automaton giants, many tanks, three thousand men, and four commanding officers. "We use the tanks and automatons for range attacks. Each division should have a seer. I want them to follow the chi signatures of the four Blades. We let them push through our men boxing them in with range attacks. So far they have done nothing to them so they will avoid them completely and come through the line. I want all men to box them in and we use trap spells to hold them in place. Chaos String will do I think get your best Bedlam users to work as a team to do so. I will engage each Blade and execute them. The goal here is time and pressure. That armor is powerful, yes, but requires a lot of chi to use it. If we apply pressure we can hold them" he then addressed the other two lieutenants. "Their army will be standing back while the four fight. So focus all range attacks towards them. Send half the automatons after we trap the Blades" he gave them all a dismissive wave. They all bowed and then left the tent.
/////////////////
The army was in position as all ranged weapons were positioned behind the large army of soldiers all in formation. In between the soldiers were hooded Seers. The giant mech automatons were looking over the army standing stories high over all. Across the battlefield stood the armored knights of the Land of Chivalry. They were positioned feet back by a row of four people standing between them and the War King's forces.
They were completely covered in armor head to toe. All resembling Mythical Beasts humanoids. One looked like a devil with small horns and the armor was red. With a devil pointed tail wiggling behind him. In his hands was a black bow swirling with dark chi. A cursed weapon that would possess any who used it without a strong will.
Next to him was a woman whose armor was that of a stag with pointed antlers upon her head, the elongated legs making her taller than most men. In her hand was a wooden staff. The head had glowing eyes as it stared at the enemy in silence. Next to her was a big wide man who had black and flaming armor. It gave off a fiery heat that was melting the ground under big giant feet. The last armored individual was a woman with sizzling pink and red armor that had flaming wings upon her back. Her bird helmet was staring daggers at the War King seeing him amongst the army.
In her hands was a sword that was yellow hot heated by her very grip. The War King scanned the field seeing the force he was facing. The knights behind had shields up and had made a wall. The four knights then walked forward slowly towards the War King's army. The big armored man was the slowest, 'Appears the ranks have been filled since the last two fell. Where's the new Stoic Blade?' The king gripped his battle club and shield. "First line forward," he said to an attendant. He yelled for the king "FIRST LINE FORWARD!" He shouted. The first line of soldiers moved forward with guns. They moved in unison and their presence was menacing. The put up rifles as they inched closer to their relative knight spread out scattered across the field.
The first to engage was the Fire Sword; she immediately took flight as her flaming wings flapped, kicking her up high. Soldiers started firing a volley of bullets at her. They bounced off as she descended. She then landed with an explosion of flames. Soldiers screamed in pain as they burned to ash. Soldiers lucky enough to avoid the flames. Fired at will, sending rain of bullets at the Fiery knight. She slashed with her fire sword sending a wave of flames. Her flames spread far and fast as she moved deeper through the army.
The Gust Staff stag armor waved her staff as a wave of chi erupted from it. It spread out across the battle field passing through the soldiers freely. For a moment nothing happened till one soldier stopped running and his mind began to ache. He hunched forward as his eyes started turning blue. Blue glowing veins spidered from the corners of his eyes.
He then turned to fellow soldiers and began firing on them. More soldiers succumbed to this and began killing each other with guns or axes. They were wildly stabbing and shooting each other. Some rolled across the ground wrestling each other as one held a knife to the other's neck.
The mayhem grew as they then started to attack the normal soldiers unaffected. Gust Staff walked slowly and was untouched by the mayhem as she headed towards the War King. The Bedlam Bow was bouncing around the soldiers leaping high above them and shooting an arrow that then split into thousands as the killed soldiers and made them explode. Each soldier struck was a human bomb. The jumping devil was swift and fast dodging each attack as the soldiers tried to retaliate. The bow started to glowing purple as an energy arrow formed on the bow as he pulled the glowing string back. The arrow grew and grew as he poured more chi into its hovering over the army he created a giant arrow that was bigger than him. He then released the string and the arrow erupted like a missile as it hit the enemy below it. A wave of purple chi swept across the field killing all men it came in contact with. They were turned to complete ash to nothing at all.
The War King looked as his attendant. "Send a volley and keep it coming," the attendant nodded. "FIRE A SERIES OF VOLLEY" the mechs then held up their hands and began shooting beams of energy at the Chivalry Army. The tanks then pointed their barrels up and with a loud boom sent missiles flying across the field. The knights held up shields to block the income attacks. The beams and missiles were stopped by an energy shield appearing from the impact.
