Nork and his men started to conduct the largest operation the eastern colony forces ever did since the great invasion.
Using their most powerful weapons and bringing in the all the high-level dark-elves, and beasts they slowly climbed the mountain, if it could be seen from above it would look like a dark cloud is slowly engulfing the mountain.
"I will teach you what a real battle is! GRRRRR"
Nork announced grudgingly gritting his teeth, totally enraged about the elf that ate an apple and threw it to him.
The force pushed through the thick forests, the hugged-bodied giants trampled on the wide vegetation while the average dark-elven soldier using their slender bodies laughed sinisterly in excitement as they scoured through the forests as scouts to find their enemies however, as they got closer, something seemed strange.
The forces were already halfway through the peak, however there was no resistance whatsoever, Nork who was also eyebrows met, as he also felt it strange.
The dark-elves have battled other races than the elves, and Nork was of no exception, he was also adept at war.
Knowing the light elves, he ordered a charge to the mountain with their main force, even though they were put in a disadvantaged position, but to him this was just to taunt the ever proud-light-elves into attacking, the same way before, where they met the dark-elves with their main force, having too much confidence in their abilities, or whenever they found an opening.
"In the past they would have showed up, with their flimsy and s.h.i.+ny armors, and charged at us, but I guess they have changed, learned and adapted.
No wonder those idiots lost, they totally underestimated their enemy.
But, I have already gone through many different wars, such tactics have been used by those smelly dwarves.
So after all, their confidence comes from this small change of tactics? HAH! Don't make me laugh!"
Nork raised his hand, and with this, the war drums played a different tune, commanding a halt as he stood up, an elf-commander then took a glowing yellow stone from his pocket and presented it to him.
This was a stone that enabled him to increase his telepathic ability to the numbers of dark-elves surrounding the mountain.
"From here on, only the scouts will be proceeding, the main forces will halt here and wait for my order. The scouts will find-... huh?"
But as Nork was speaking something unbelievable was happening.
The ground started shaking, as if something was erupting from under the mountain.
"DON'T TELL ME!"
His attention was then pulled to the peak of the mountain, where a mixture of trees, land and rocks started to roll down from above them.
"A LANDSLIDE?!!! IN THIS WEATHER?!! "
As the other dark-elves saw this, with the cowardice hiding under their sinister faces and laughs, for the first time, they feared for their lives and the encirclement, seeing the landslide coming upon them, they started running downwards.
The dark cloud of encirclement that was engulfing the mountain slowly broke into four directions.
Nork was of no exception, as even his powerful nullifier weapons wouldn't be able to handle such a large devastation made by nature that was coming at him.
"I should run! RETREAT RETREAT!"
He used his telepathy to communicate to his soldiers, however in such a chaotic situation no one got his message perfectly.
Some were too afraid to even run as they s.h.i.+vered at the large debris getting closer to them at a high speed, and the majority who were afraid caused a huge panic, and as they tried running down the mountain they b.u.mped into each other and caused unimaginable damager to each other.
Nork, who saw this through the eyes of his soldiers decided not to run anymore and just brace for the impact with seething rage .
"THIS IS INTENTIONAL!
IF I SURVIVE, I WILL FIND THE ONE THAT CAUSED THIS AND I WILL EAT HIS INNARDS!
THOSE ELVES THAT CANT EVEN DEFEAT US IN MAGIC,I GUESS THE OTHER RACES MIGHT BE INVOLVED!"
Nork immediately got his sword and with all his strength, he flipped the carriage, to serve as cover and then shouted his next order.
"COMMANDERS! OFFER YOUR BODIES! SURROUND ME AND COVER ME!"
The commanders who were also his personal guards, looked at him in confusion and out of fear for their own lives.
"WHY THE h.e.l.l ARE YOU JUST LOOKING AT ME?! IF I DIE HERE THE COLONY WOULD FALL!"
He angrily shouted orders at the dark-elf commanders that were near him, while the rumbling made by the ma.s.s of rocks and debris was coming at him at a high speed.
And just in time when the debris. .h.i.t him, the dark-elf commanders used their bodies to cover Nork with the carriage that carried him by holding each other's backs and engulfing Nork in it. The manticore that was also his pet, that beast that had two heads also helped in covering him.
However the ma.s.s was so strong that it blasted the beast immediately with a large boulder and the dark-elves commanders, one by one were stripped out of the cover by the debris and rocks that crushed them, leaving only Nork and his golden carriage.
"d.a.m.nNNN!! USELESS s.h.i.+TS!!!"
With this, Nork who was under the cover of his carriage was swept a great distance down the mountain.
And was severely injured, if not for the carriage he would have already died.
At the end of the landslide, Nork with injuries dug up using his strength and magic, when he appeared at the surface, his limbs were severely injured and his face was torn apart. He then used his sword as a crutch.
As he scanned the area of the aftermath.
"Im… possible"
The only one standing on his special regiment that was composed of the best soldiers was annihilated.
"No… way, No way, No way… this is impossible, impossible, impossible"
He was shaking as he took the amplification stone from his pocket and used it to count the minds that synced with him.
In the eyes and minds of his soldiers it was pure devastation, the large regiments were wiped out, there were units in the rear that survived but most of them were injured and started fighting each other.
It was pure chaos, a veteran like him had never seen in a war with the other races.
At the ground he saw the apple that was thrown to him at the foot of the mountain.
"That means… we have been thrown back at the foot of the mountain."
While shaking because of his injuries he slowly picked up the apple.
However, a gust of wind blew through him, which he felt strange.
He looked at the area but no one was there, until he looked at the skies.
The figure that inspired rage within him, now reversed that emotion into fear, as he remembered the figure and the devastation he believes the man caused singlehandedly.
The man he believed to be an elf now flew over him with the wings of a large bird.
The man then pointed his staff towards Nork.
"N-N-N-N-No… "
Out of fear, Nork put up his nullifier to cover him.
However the man still continued in calibrating his strange staff.
It made a few clicking sounds.
"No matter what he is doing, he wont get through this barrier."
And then, at the final click of the staff.
A blast echoed through the devastated land.
And a wound like a blooming flower, appeared on, Nork's stomach.
"I-Impossible… "
He utters the same word once again, a certain projectile was fired at him and pa.s.sed through his nullifier with ease.
The pain was too intense, that his barrier was dissolved, he also discovered that his focus was too much in a mess that he could conjure any kind of dark magic, together with the reason that he used up most of his mana trying to get to the surface and that his limbs were broken and he couldn't get his balance.
Left without a choice, his only hope was to challenge this man he believes to be an elf, to something he feels the elf wouldn't be able to decline.
A one on one duel.
"N-N-No! F-F-Fight me! YES! One on one! Soldier to soldier! Fair and square, right?!"
He pleaded as he held his stomach, even though the projectile was tiny contrary to his body, the wound was too deep to ignore as his blood was gus.h.i.+ng from it, his regenerative abilities was also not keeping up with it.
However the man, without any words, hastily calibrated with the strange staff that he was carrying and this time fired Nork at the knee of his feet that was still working, forcing him to kneel.
"No! Don't do this! You elves fight fair and square right? If y-y-y-ou do that what would make the difference between us? huh?"
He pleaded to the man, with tears and snot running from his face.
Nork, who never tasted defeat before, was now on his last legs.
In the mercy of a man and knows no honour unlike the elves he encountered before.
After hearing his plea, the man didn't make a move, and relaxed his body a bit, lowering down his strange staff.
Seeing this, finally Nork was able to sigh in relief, if they were to duel, he would have time to recover at least his internal wounds and decided to finish him once and for all.
With evil thoughts on how he will win that duel with all the clever things he had in mind.
However, just as he had these thoughts, the man made another calibration, and pointed it to Nork's head.
"Wh"
Before Nork could say anything in surprise, a projectile flew out from the tube of the strange staff.
The projectile hit Norks head as it pa.s.sed through his skull.
With a thud Nork's dead body fell down towards the ground facing it, still with a surprised expression on his face.
