Misty mountain
Tiberius POV
I watched as the running midgets and old man reaching the front of the shield wall.
"Halt!" Shouted by the men in the front.
They stopped and turned around showing their backs to us and faced the incoming creatures, they unsheathed their swords, hammers, maces, and staff preparing for the upcoming battle.
I was surprised by their actions, for those midgets and that old man to face those creatures mean they have great courage and showing their back to us and trusting us so quickly. I grin as I see this. I heard galloping behind me, I looked to see Darius coming after securing the prisoners, he goes to my side and raised his axe smiling excitedly for another battle.
I nod and shouted my command as soon as they are in range.
"Archers release!"
Soon arrows fly to the air and rained down on those creatures. Soon shouts of cries can be heard. None of the arrows missed because there were too many targets and they were poorly dressed for battle.
"Fire at will! You don't have to aim just keep shooting!"
More arrows fly into the air and hitting their marks. The creatures continued their charge and facing them are shield and steel of Rome and 13 midgets and an old man. The centurions ordered their soldiers to throw their javelins before they arrive killing more of those creatures, soon they arrived and slammed on the shields.
BOOM!
A loud impact can be heard as the creatures slammed into the shield wall. Shouting can be heard as the legions battle in melee.
I watched my men easily kill them by the hundreds per seconds, but I was surprised again by those midgets, their martial prowess as they slay those creatures, they rotate their bodies as they slam their hammers at the creatures tossing them far, slashing at their legs and hammering down their heads, I saw a fat one using his tummy to push back those creatures and that old man wielding his staff and sword skillfully as he slay more creatures than a single man could.

"Whoever they are I want them to join the legion."
-------------------------------
Garen POV
"Legionaries hold the line! Push them back!"
I grit my teeth as those vile creatures try to push us, but legionaries will stand their ground no matter how much they slam their weapons and bodies at our shields.
I hacked another one as I see them jumping over us.
"Kill! For Rome!" I shouted to my men to increase morale.
While killing another one of those creatures I see those midgets bravely fighting even though they are getting surrounded.
I spot enemy archers aiming their arrows to their direction and I screamed to my men.
"To me men protect them!"
We arrived to their side slaying enemies near them and raised our shields into tetsudo as arrows rain down on us.
The midgets stared at us as we raised our shield over them, shielding them from the rain of arrows. I look at the midget with black hair holding a wooden shield and he stared back at me and I smiled at him.
I hear the arrows stopped falling down on our shields and I shouted to my men: "Break formation and throw your javelins at their archers before they reload!"
Javelins fly through the air and piercing their frail bodies.
Seeing the javelins hit their mark I charged to the front slaying more of this creatures.

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---
