《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Battle of fire, ice and monsters part 2
Advertisement
Black yak cavalry was charging at the enemy at full gallop. The soldiers were all spread out and when the cavalry struck them they trampled everyone with ease. The ferocious grey skin riders killed hundreds of soldiers in just a matter of minutes.
Hooves trampled skulls as the grey skin warriors with their glaves cut and slashed the enemy who got close.
"GET THE SOLDIERS INTO FORMATIONS!" Anezka yelled.
The soldiers desperately tried to get in orderly lines but were unsuccessful. As the soldiers ran trying to get into formations they were instead caught by the heavy cavalry of the grey skins.
As Anezka was trying to make sure that the army didn't rout completely she felt intense divinity coming from behind her. It felt as Rikard Plangent was close by.
Edward rushed in trying to kill her while she had her back to him. The marshal dodged the attack and took out her weapon, a large ball mace with the ball being the size of a football ball.
She swung it back at Edward but he also dodged the violent attack.
"I guess it wasn't possible to take you out just like that," Edward said smiling at the marshal.
"I guess you are the famous Edward Plangent, the black prince," Anezka said.
"Well don't know if I am famous," Edward said who was a bit taken back and blushed.
"Oh yes. You are very famous. The Edward the black prince, the one who killed his father? Pretty cold-blooded if I may say so."
"Might be cold-blooded to an outsider, but to me and many others it made complete sense to kill him."
Anezka came at Edward with his ball mace. As Edward dodged the attack the entire ground cracked with some soldiers falling because of the tremor.

Edward then slashed the air and shot an air pressure projectile at her. The marshal easily stopped the attack with just his own projectile that sent a fireball from his ball mace.
Both Jan and Edward seemed very evenly matched.
The two started an intense melee with two iron weapons clashing.

As the fight between Marshal Anezka and Edward raged on the queen was trying herself to rally her troops. She yelled commands and threatened anyone who dared to escape and flee. She stopped yelling when she felt something wrapping around her leg.
Her legs got stuck with crystal vines wrapping around them. She looked ahead and saw Haley walking toward her with Joan behind her.
Joan jumped behind the queen and placed her blade at her neck.
"Surrender now and I will let you live," Haley said.
The Queen clenched her teeth.
"Who the hell do you think you are talking to!?" the queen said angrily.
"I won't give her a chance to ask again," Joan whispered to the queen.
"And I won't give neither of you a chance to live!" the queen answered back.
The air became chilly. A large mace made from black ice formed from this air and was grabbed by the queen.
Joan tried to slit her throat but her sword was stuck unable to move it. The entire body of the queen had gotten a layer of ice with Joan's sword getting frozen in place.
Joan jumped away dodging the queen who swung her mace at her.
With the attack her the wind's speed increased causing a small blizzard, blowing Joan far away.
"I guess we couldn't win this that easily," Hailey said looking at the queen who was releasing tremendous divine aura.
The queen struck the ground with her mace. Large shards of ice came forth flying at the two of them. Haley countered by herself sending large shards of crystals. When the two attacks collided, it caused a large clash with trees falling all over them.

Joan tried to get close, but the ground had frozen solid making it hard to get close to the queen. The ice froze her feet forcing her to use her sword to get herself free.
The queen charged at Joan coming down with her black ice mace. She was remarkably fast even though the queen wore a dress. Joan was doing the best she could do to fight the queen, but she was not strong enough.
Her attacks were heavy and just being close to her made a person's skin slowly freeze and get numb. Joan was only saved when a snake made from crystals lunged at the queen distracting her enough for Joan to get away.
"Fuck, that ice bitch surely is a real pain and it's right in my ass," Joan yelled in frustration.
The queen started to spin his mace in her hand. As she did the winds started to circle around her. The trees bent and the dirt on the ground rose up.
She then stopped spinning and sent the blizzard she had created hurdling at the two of them. Haley then created a shield made from crystals, but as the blizzard was hitting it she knew it wasn't enough. She created more shields layering them on to shield the two of them.
As the attack of the queen was just about to penetrate the crystals a gunshot was heard.
The queen then got shot in her leg as three cloaked men surrounded her all wielding different weapons. They were Yosef's puppets.
"You should wash your mouth with soap when this is over for such foul language," Yosef said who had entered the battle.
"Shut up you asshole!"
"No wonder no man wants to kiss you if they have to kiss such a foul mouth," Yosef said again irritating Joan on purpose.
"—Too many curses that I will not describe here—," Joan yelled.
Yosef, Haley and even the queen were all startled by Joan's profanities.
"Stop looking at me like that. Okay, I swear a lot. Deal with it," Joan yelled being a bit embarrassed.
"Wow, we need some hardcore paint remover to clean your mouth with," Yosef said sarcastically.
"CAN I KILL HIM! I REALLY WANT TO KILL HIM!" Joan yelled and asked Haley.
"Kinda busy here. Let's talk about this later, okay?" Haley answered.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
