In the end, since he was a bloodthirsty animal, Garrik didn't even think twice about chasing Zaos, even though he knew Camus was using him. The army split in two, and Garrik and his n followed Zaos's unit directly. anwhile, Camus, Luvon, and their rcenaries moved to the left side to stay away from the battlefield. Still, they were close enough to see what Zaos and his unit were doing.
"Captain, continuing with the plan is a terrible idea," Cohnal said. "They can flank us pretty easily if we take too much ti moving after firing the arrows."
"It is okay. They won't attack us, at least not now," Zaos said. "I would bet that the hot-blooded one is the one approaching directly, and the other two will see if we have any more tricks up our sleeve."
Cohnal knew that, but he was worried anyway because Garrik's famous as a crazy commander had reached his ears, even though he worked most of the ti around the central area of the kingdom. The plan of putting a ntal trauma on that army won't work, and if a fight breaks out, the other two armies will have the chance to join the fray and surround them. Zaos had imagined that the two armies would split the twenty-one thousand soldiers into three groups. Still, since it was divided into seven and fourteen, they could always run away to the Northeast. However, Zaos had a better idea… the enemies were quickly approaching, and Garrik was commanding the charge.
"Do you think you can kill that guy?" Zaos asked. "I don't want to let them see using Wind Blade."
"Wind Blade? Is that what you called that kind of attack? It is kind of weak," Cohnal said. "How about a Storm Sword?"
"We are getting sidetracked here, Cohnal," Zaos said.
"Right… Well, if I got lucky, I might defeat him," Cohnal said. "After losing to you so many tis, I would say that I am past my best days."
"From what I heard, you two are the sa age," Zaos frowned. "Regardless, usually, I would want to fight that guy, but since I don't want to let us get flanked, I will keep the other guys busy and make sure they won't see anything."
"I understand that… well, I will do my best not to disappoint you, Captain," Cohnal said.
"Okay, I will take the mages with , so you can lead the others alongside lisse," Zaos said. "Try to be fast."
Zaos signalized for the mages to follow him. anwhile, lisse and Cohnal would separate the rest of the unit into two teams, archers and lee fighters. The strategy to fire a massive volley of arrows and then run away couldn't be used if the plan was to take down the enemy commander.
Sohow, Zaos's lieutenants managed to do that in just a couple of minutes before Garrik, and his army could reach them. The archers let loose the first volley of arrows while they were running away. Still, since only half of them had experience in shooting while riding a horse, the first volley only hit a small number of enemies and killed around twenty rcenaries.
Once that happened, Zaos and mages left the group and moved to the side, toward the other army was. Since Zaos had already told them what they needed to do, they didn't waste ti and cast so strengthened Fire Spears. Although Zaos cast five of those at the sa ti, he was the first one to fire.

Luvon and Camus frowned when so many Fire Spears appeared above a few enemy soldiers. They didn't hear that the Bloody Knights had mages in their unit. It was unusual to fight them these days since they were too slow, and basically, a single arrow was enough to put them out of the battle. However, when those flew toward them, they imdiately noticed that it would be dangerous.
"Scatter!" Camus shouted.
He reacted in ti… but not all that much since Zaos was one of the attacks. His Fire Spears hit several groups of horsen and engulfed many others on fire. The heat of the attacks had been so powerful that the commanders were forced to cover their faces because the area suddenly grew so hot. The enemies that got hit by the attacks died and didn't even have ti to scream. Their armor and weapons also lted in the blink of an eye.
The other Fire Spears are not as impressive. It also caused so damage to the horsen. Not only that, their formation had been destroyed… at least the front of it. Almost five hundred ters away, that group of mages killed almost fifty of his n. Not even their siege weapons had that much destructive power.
"It seems the rumors weren't exaggerated," Camus frowned as he watched Zaos look at his army and wait for their movents. "It is a good thing that we didn't consider Elmar's defeat a fluke."
"Yes… still, I find it hard to believe that soone so young can be this fearless and so resourceful at the sa ti," Luvon said. "I would say that Garrik is as good as dead if Zaos Sielders decide to fight him."
"He won't. He will make sure that we will stay out of the way," Camus said. "That is actually good for us. Even without moving a single finger, we will prevent Zaos Sielders from fighting Garrik. Even if Garrik dies, his army will cause massive damage to his unit. We couldn't have asked for a better situation for us. Anyway, send the order for soone to grab those for us in Toules. We will need them if we want to seal that boy's cards. Also, give the order to the siege weapons co as well. I don't want that boy close to our armies."
"Understood," Luvon said.

Zaos couldn't help but frown since his plan worked too well… he had imagined that he would attack the two armies a few more tis before they decided to keep their distance.. While that was good, it made him feel that sothing was amiss.
