Chapter 46 – Into two.

I stepped up to talk to king. Some of the nobles had face expressions which meant they were not in favor of me or anybody else whether familiar or not to talk in front of the king but the situation was grave and king listen to me.

[Me]: I assume inhabitants of Cursed Lands are no more scattered into races as you have known up until now. There has to be a reason for them not to be in sight. The worst case is for them to build an army...

[Duke_Erasmus]: That’s not possible. Those monster’s wont....

[Me]: Duke Erasmus if you cut off my word again I’ll cut off your head!

[King-Bartholomew]: Now, now! Continue Aslan.

[Me]: We should leave a small force in here, and move to Jorm.

[Duke_Benjamin]: I second that.

[Duke_Erasmus]: Not you Benny!

[Bartholomew]: Enough!

[Bartholomew]: Viscount Rakim Hassan will stay in Arthur’s pass with 1000 warriors and tomorrow at dawn we will be moving to Jorm. Duke Erasmus!

[Duke_Erasmus]: Yes my lord?!

[Bartholomew]: Send spies to gather intelligence. Duchess von Raden!

[Luna]: Yes my lord?!

[Bartholomew]: Use your dragon to fly to Jorm ahead of us and see what’s happening over there!

[Luna]: Understood!

I left with Luna. Gorn could fly for days without a rest. We landed just once in two days of flight for me and Luna to sleep. On third day we reached Jormian border with Cursed Lands.

Black smoke had covered the skies. The war was at its peak. Gorn was attacked with magic and bows because they thought it was a drakon from Cursed Lands. It landed besides the tent that was on top of hill looking towards the battle zone. Firstly, I jumped down and few warriors began to charge at me. I told them who I am and they calmed down. King Daniel the Brute of Kingdom of Jorm invited Luna and me into the tent.

[Luna]: What has happened?

[Daniel]: I’m too exhausted. Queen Xristiana will fill you up on details. When the back up is going to arrive?

[Luna]: Few weeks. A month. Maybe more!?

[Xristiana]: Are you Duchess von Raden?

[Luna]: Yes, please call me Luna.

[Xristiana]: Luna, around 10 days ago we were going to cross to Cursed Lands. A Centaur came out of the pass with white flag on his hands. He identified himself as Erekiel and asked us to surrender to King Hakim, the prophet and messenger of Lord Jahum. In case of resistance, Erekiel told that war will be ineviatable.

[Me]: Who is Jahum? Why a king is under control of some lord?

[Xristiana]: Lord as in God. We have no idea whoever or whatever this Hakim is. It is that he is claiming to be given a divine mission by the creator. All of the monsters in Cursed Lands have sweared oath to Hakim and pledged themselves to accomplish whatever the mission is.

[Luna]: Still, it does not justify this situation!

[Xristiana]: It does. Not in sense that any otherworldy being such as God is helping him. The problem is Hakim has mastered art of war. Monsters are attacking according to a war plan. It is not like back in old times when they would just attack in dispersed formations.

[Luna]: Where’s King Jeremy of Barmin Kingdom?

[Xristiana]: He betrayed us and changed his sides to help Hakim.

Hakim was going to be a difficult opponent to overcome but not the impossible one. I went outside, and told Gorn to take me to battlefield. Luna came out of tent, but was a bit late as I was on Gorn and we were already on air.

Armies of Barmin, Vandall and Jorm need to have a push in their low morale. I was going to perform the miracle that they needed. More than 20 cyclops and around 15 air and land drakons were coming towards our armies for the next wave of attack. Centaurs were backing them up by firing arrows on top of them towards us.

[Me]: Gorn you should take the lizards and I will kill the cyclops. Whoever finishs job first, helps out the second one.

[Gorn]: I’ll kill everyone!

I jumped from Gorn’s neck on to a cyclop. I have to admit they were tall and big giants. Most of them were armed with massive batons. Ulfberht had materialized into his sword form. I was on air descending down onto a cyclops head. Everything happened in a blink of an eye. Ulfberht’s tip was facing ground and I had both of my hands on his hilt. I stabbed Ulfberht as hard as possible into cyclops head and slashed down. His face was cut into two.
