Emperor's Reckoning

Since the north gate had started the battle, the south gate had also started their show.

"Close the gate!"

"What's this, the enemy is a grandmother?" said the commander who wore a heavy armor before his soldiers laughed.

The one they were referring to was none other than Dina. She didn't look much like a fighter and even her clothing was like that of a regular grandmother one would see in the garden. Her eyes were closed and smile was built upon her face.

"What are you smiling about grandma? Go home and cuddle with your grandkids haha! Nostria sure is ridiculous! To send someone as frail as you to attack," taunted the commander.

A gaseous shadow suddenly flew behind her before Dina put up her right hand to stop its movement.

The commander and his entire army immediately stopped their laughter as they took a half-step back. Though they were arrogant their unison was the fruit of their experience. (What is that?)

A strong flash of wind followed before the gaseous shadow revealed its figure. The huge scythe that could reflect their death brought about the fear in their heart. There was no flesh present, everything was bone under the cloak.

"Grandmother Dina, are you sure?" said Grim though his skeleton jaw didn't move a bit.

"Hmm, big brother, we are not going to fight them?"

The voice reached them first before a fat man revealed himself. He was wearing the same cloak as Grim.

The commander gulped at the sight of the trio (W-what kind of weird combo is this?! Nostria is full of freaks!).

"Let this old woman, stretched her old muscle, I can't remember when was the last time I did so," said Dina before she leisurely walked toward the entire army.

The commander furrowed his eyebrows as he raised his arm, "Men!"

"Ha!" his soldiers responded and tried to encircle Dina before she ruthlessly disappeared from their sight.

*boom

The people inside the kingdom was startled by the sound as they nervously looked at the wall that was the pride of their empire.

"W-what was that?" asked a man that was nearby. Since the gate was closed, there was no way of finding out what happened.

"P-probably its finished, we are winning the war!" said someone refusing the possibility of defeat.

The people looked at each other before calming down their heart albeit slowly.

However, the reality was not what they were hoping for.

The soldiers noticed the sound firsthand before they saw blistering dust from the wall of the kingdom. As the dust cleared the army felt their morale escaped from their being.

"C-commander..." the army felt weak as they saw the figure they looked up to was etched on the wall.

The heavy armor he wore cracked like glass as a hole appeared in the center of his chest. His eyes opened wide in disbelief as he could feel his blood rushing toward his mouth. He coughed emotionlessly as blood stained the ground.

*crack

Dina stretched her neck as she lightly tiptoed before turning to face the hundreds thousand of men. "I will leave the rest to both of you."

The army had their eyes opened wide as one of them could feel dread creeping up his nape. His pupils were shrunken before his head escaped his body flawlessly. In split second in the air, he could see the creepy skeleton with his huge scythe before his head dropped to the ground with a thud.

"What's this? You are cowering in fear in a war? Too late to go back now HAHA~" said Grim as he flew and collected their heads despite the scream that echoed to the sun.

Dina didn't even bother to look at the massacre. She had enough experience not to flinch at the sight, or maybe too much experience to even care. "Once their commander is out, they are just a bunch of headless chicken, even if there were thousands or hundreds of thousands, headless chicken is a headless chicken."

"Now, then it's time to wait for the main event," said Dina as she sat down on a nearby rock before swatting her right hand that red because of the blood.

-----------------

The east gate. Unlike the last two, the fight had not even started yet as confusion filled the area.

The soldiers were looking at each other as cold sweat was present on their forehead. Right in front of them, there were two commanders that had led them through many skirmishes. Only one was real.

"What the, he is the impostor!" said the commander as he pointed his identical twin.

"Men! Don't believe this guy's nonsense! It's obvious that it is you!"

Jugen who was hiding in the bushes thought (Even I didn't know which one is Parriot).

"Eh, Jugen what are you doing?" asked a beautiful elf.

"Oh hmm, well,"

"Oh, you are scouting the enemy," nodded the elf.

"Hahaha, yes that's right,"

"Wait, is that Parriot?"

"No, wait, where are you going Elaine!?"

Jugen couldn't possibly stop her as she was way stronger and more agile than him.

"What's your favorite food?" asked one of the men.

"Curry."

"Curry."

"Look! He repeated after me!" said one of the twins.

"No, you are just saying it faster!"

"I think he is the imposter!" said Elaine as she pointed one of the twins.

"Enemy!" the army quickly encircled her and the two commanders. However, they halted their attack as of right now, they were sure that two of the enemies were inside the circle.

(Goddamnit, what the hell are you doing?! And how the hell did you know it was me!) thought Parriot as he was the one Elaine was pointing out.

"An elf! To hell with you and your wretched race!" said Parriot as he slapped her arm.

Elaine's right eye twitched as she heard what Parriot said but the real commander was caught off guard.

"Look! This impostor didn't even say anything he is definitely from Nostria that ridiculous mix-race kingdom!"

The army that was holding their spears against them nodded at his explanation.

Seeing his army's expression he couldn't help but take a step back, "N-no wait!"

"How dare you," a seeping death tone escaped from the beautiful elf.

(Ah, shit) thought Parriot.
