12. Throwback II

"Anak na lase, you animal! Buwiset! Why do you blame us for what happened eh we just defended ourselves?! What’s wrong with him bringing me here? He just helped me! If he dies, what will help then?! Don't make excuses for what happened. You're just really scared! You COWARD!"

As he spoke he was pointing the Elf on the throne. The eyes of the fairies who were there, especially those with him, were shocked and widened.

"You're rude! You're a young man, you still don't have a formal? Do you know a King you are pointing at? Your parents are not teaching you!" King Avalon said angrily.

"I have no parents so no one will teach me! And what about me now if you are a King?! I have no respect for cowards!"

"And what do you want to convey? Did we fight?! The ones we encounter are demons. We were not created to fight."

Guile was stunned by those moments.

"Do not pocket your brain! Your enemy is a devil... So why don't you ask for heaven's help? You will not fight... You will just defend your place, your right as a creature of this world. If you just give up, what? What are the different abilities that you have been given for?! "

Avalon laughed softly.

"Well, human... You passed my test."

Guile was stunned.

"I want you to lead the defense here in our world against Haeres' army. You are probably the person Michael is telling me."

"M-Michael?!"

"He is an angel... Michael was the best Angel Soldier, the one who defeated Lucifer. Didn't you say we would ask for heaven's help? Well, you are the one given."

Guile was stunned for a long time. Yes, he grew up in an orphanage run by priests and nuns. But he does not fully believe because he has many questions about his personality and self that he can not find an answer. So why of all people, why was he chosen to be brought to this place?!

"Wait, this is a mistake. It looks like you have mistaken me. You’ve got the wrong person."

"If you refuse, not only the tikbalang will die. Death will also punish all your Fairy friends."

Avalon didn't like what he was saying... But he had to follow what Michael told him. Guile firmly clenched his fists.

"All right, I will lead the defense in this world. But I have two conditions!"

"What?!" Avalon answered quickly.

"First of all... No one should be punished by death. Especially Tars. He is my friend and he just saved my life so I am here. Second, send precious jewels to the orphanage where I came from."

"Is that all? Aren't you going to ask for anything for yourself?"

Guile shook his head.

"No. I have nothing to ask for myself."

"In that case, your conditions will be fulfilled. I will send my jewels to the orphanage you say. And no one will be punished by death."

"Great. In that case, you all listen to me because I have a plan. We will use the brain of our opponents. We still have a long time to prepare them. We have nine days."

"All right, we will listen to your plans."

"First and foremost, we will make traps in the path of our enemies second, we will build a big wall so that we can make sure that they do not just enter. And third and most important of all, we will make weapons that we will fight against them. We will make a lot of catapult. We will all work together to develop my plans."

"All right, we are all ready. But you need to know something." Avalon said.

"What i that?"

"Apart from the Orcs who are Haeres' disciples, he has a pet demon that we dread. We do not know how we can get rid of it. It is a Ballrog. Triple its size than the Orcs. Its body is a burning stone. Its head resembles that of a cow and it has large horns. It also has a tail like a whip. That is Haeres' proud warrior. So that you will not be surprised, I will show you the picture of it. We once faced it, and because of him... My younger brother died."

Avalon threw a ball in front of him. It grew and he was stunned when a huge creature suddenly appeared in front of him. A scary kind of devil. He has never seen a demon. And the this creature, he can encounter. He was scared but he thought fast. He should not be intimidated by its appearance and size. He will use his knowledge.

"I will take care of this Ballrog. I have a plan."

Everyone was stunned and shocked by what he said.

"Are you committing suicide?!" react by Tarse.

"Sure. But I have no choice."

"In that case, take me there in your madness. Because of me you are in that situation."

"Stop, I don't blame you." He rebuke to Tarse.

"Why, I'll go there too! Just because I’m a woman, you are not including me, huh!" Avana also spoke.

Guile just smiled at his friends.

“Well then...”

They immediately started his plans. Everyone worked together to make. The kapre and tikbalangs make up the big wall. The elves are making weapons and forming catapults. And the dwarfs and the other fairies make traps. The days go by and they form everything quickly. They need to prepare their enemies well because big and strong make up the army coming.

(Kapre- a big hairy mythological creatures that resides on a big tree and it smokes tobacco.)

Guile is now looking outside. They have managed to finish everything on time. The war is tomorrow. He felt that someone is approaching. He didn't have to look back at who it was. He knew the noise of its feet. It was Tarse.

"Oh why?" he smiled.

"When is it all over... Are you going home and you will never come back here?" he asked sadly.

"Of course, I will come back here because I have many friends. And when I return, I promise Tars. I will give you a big mirror, you will not only see your face there. Of course, you will also see your beautiful body."

"Really?! Really?! Oh, thank you! Do you know, apart from Avana... You are the only one who treats me well? They often judge me by the way I look. You know, because my hair is black and they thought I was bad because of my color."

"Of all the tikbalangs I see here. You are the coolest and the most awesome!"

"Oh no! Don't be like that. My heart will explode! You joker!"

They both laughed and applauded each other.

This is the day where everyone has to be brave. The day of their war. Guile is now wearing a brilliant armour. He does not know how light it was. It's just like he's wearing clothes. Avalon approached him, he was also wearing armour. He was wearing a gold armour. It reached him with a sword, it was only medium in size for him and it shone brightly.

"This is the sword of my late brother. It is made of powdered diamonds of the first class. It will cut anything. Be careful."

"You also..."

They are all in position. The archers are ready all around. They are the first to attack. He is now riding on the back of Tarse who is in the form of a horse and like him, he is also wearing body armour. Avana is on his right shoulder. Everyone is quiet and carefully waiting...

Just a moment... A black smoke is coming. Gradually, darkness covered the whole area. They heard rumblings and was followed by the loud sound of a horn. Guile was swallowed up when so many groups of Orcs came slowly. There were also Golem. At the end they see the four Golems’ carrying large chairs. There is a black flag there and a man is sitting there. This is the leader.

Gradually that big army approached...

"Archers! Get ready!" Guile shouted.

Fire engulfed the arrows used by the Elves and other Fairy archers. The magic of fire curtains was also used to further strengthen the force. They first waited for the army to approach the traps they had prepared...

"Do not be in a hurry! You feel the direction of the wind!" said Avalon...

Everyone waited carefully. They were getting closer to the big wall they made. When Avalon felt that the direction of the wind in them was...

"ARCHERS!... FIRE!..." Avalon ordered.

At the same time, the archers unleashed their arrows wrapped in fire. Upward the direction of the arrows. They fly fast in the air and also quickly fall down. It seemed as if fire was raining in those moments. It was all raining on the enemy's large army. Many Orcs burn and die instantly. Many also fall into large pits in the ground with stings. That is what they made a trap. They also poured a lot of oil into the holes they made. They explode when hit by arrows.

Haeres' eyes widened at what he saw. He did not expect this thing. All he knew was that the Fairies knew nothing about war because these creatures were only created for nature... He seems to have made a mistake.

"Damn! Looks like they prepared me! Anyway... I still have ace!"

He waved his right hand in the air. And from behind him. Golemes came out with big catapults...

"Powder them!" he commanded emphatically.

The Golems quickly placed boulders and immediately settled.

Meanwhile...

"Catapults! Prepare our catapults too! We will keep up with them!" Guile shouted.

The Kapre’s will take care of the catapults, they immediately put large stones. They also put fire on the boulders. They went with the rest. There are parts of the wall that have been destroyed and there are also those that have been hit where they are. But they still prevailed because the bullets of the catapults they left behind exploded. The archers also continue to attack...

Haeres was furious. Many of his catapults are already being destroyed. He did not expect a strong force to collide with him. He can't understand where these very cowardly creatures got the courage?! And their strategy, really thought out.

"Golem! Destroy their big wall! We will let them in and crush them! Ballrog! Help the Golems and destroy them all! Finish all the creatures inside that wall!"

From behind him a huge Ballrog jumped. It was even bigger than the Golems and its nose was smoky with rage. The Golems carry large logs with thorns at the end. That is what they use to destroy the thick wall that the Fairies made a barrier. They beat them hard. Ballrog punches and crushes the wall. The wall will not be destroyed easily because large and solid stones were used...

"Don't stop the catapults!" Guile orders...

The Kapre’s did not stop the catapults and many of them were defeated by Orcs and Golem... The opponent also continues to pile the catapult and they just exchange attacks. The archers are still shooting. The Archers include Fantine and Fiara.

Avalon went around the whole army. It is riding a white horse.

"Soon, they will destroy the wall. We all need to be prepared to deal with opponents. We will defend our world against them! I am ready to kill! You, are you all ready?!"

"YES!...." that was everyone's loud shout.
