Two hours later, after the preparation and organization of every squad, on top of a horse outside the outpost walls, Aurora spoke loud enough so everyone could hear.

"Today we bring the most profound and best offering to the gods," her voice resonated through the entire army with wind magic by a few mages next to her," I've had a dream of a million battles!" The men shouted while stomping their feet on the ground.

"Of a million victories, never once drawing much less losing!" The men feeling the hype and enthusiasm in the girl's voice, resonated by clanking their weapons in the armors causing a loud sound that propagated through the entire army.

"Yes, I dreamt of God's drinking inside expensive chalices bathed of diamonds and gold, and what were they gulping down you ask?" The men went silent waiting for a reply as curiosity entered their hearts.

Raising both her arms pointing to the sky Aurora yells," that, gentlemen, is all the blood we'll pour from our enemies today!" The soldiers shouted gaining a sense of morality and fury making them feel stronger.

Shortly after Aurora started marching for a few hours on top of a brown horse with the entire army composed of three wings, aside from the cavalry under Zylph command and the reserves, leaving towards the north entrance of the goblin kingdom. The majors also could be seen riding one, this was one of the ideas she taught them to deliver the orders in an easier way. This would enable the majors to see clearly the state of the battlefield and be mobile depending on the situation.

As soon as the army who made the earth shake and the dust raise on their way, arrived at a careful location, far and safe enough allowing the goblins to take notice of them. The green creatures started pouring out behind trees and large rocks that were used as shields as they used mana to screech calling for others. They used nature as attempts of walls, and trees as watchtowers mimicking past human generals.

As the swarm increased composed of black and green-looking goblins from afar. They started pouring towards the human center as they were wearing dark armor and weapons of all kinds. From small to large and even tall goblins, but no giants, commanded by the goblin shaman as the number of humans weren't as much as he thought it would be.

'Let us start,' Aurora raised the flag and shouted," moon formation!" As the flag went up two mages behind her amplified her voice and scattered it towards both sides which chained with the voices of the majors who repeated it, and then everyone started moving.

The front line composed of 100 thousand melee fighters from ax, hammer, sword, spear users all made a curved line no different than a moon, making the center the furthest spot the enemies had to walk into. Meanwhile, leaving the heavily armored soldiers as a second line composed of 200 thousand as Alfred had expanded them under the orders of Aurora. Since she deemed them very useful to hold the enemies down with their big silver shields and short iron spears.

Like a gigantic green and black lance, the goblins ran while making loud noises and what sounded like heroic shouts. As they entered the 100 meters distance, the flag wielded by Aurora situated in the middle of the four lines that consisted of the current army formation, started waving to the sides signaling one of the commands. The fourth line which resulted in the archers, the ones wielding longbows, started charging the skills that allowed them to aim for very long shots, sending flying no less than 35 thousand shining arrows to what brought the start of long despair towards some of the goblins.

Upon seeing the attack, the goblins kept running like the beasts they were, without fear as their morale was boosted by the number superiority while raising their weapons and closing their helmets avoiding fatal hits.

The creatures unlike in the past wars, shone with an aura of elements around their armors, making the arrows less effective, but those that didn't have as much mana or good equipment, received mercilessly fatal wounds, ending up falling on the ground.

What followed afterward was the usage of light magic for the goblins that stumbled, except for those whose arrows hit them in critical spots, bringing them a swift and painful death, leaving the ground wet with the promised wine for the gods.

Some of them were overrun by their own kin, as in the end, they were beasts who stopped for nothing once they start moving. An unstoppable force that almost took the human kingdom for themselves in the past.

At the reach of 70 meters, the magic squad being the third line, made a gigantic fireball shooting it in a similar way to the arrows, whereas the goblin mages halted upon its size for a while, joining forces to create a defensive rectangle made of water. Consuming a great of their mana to do so, but being able to defend their kin.

30 meters later, upon trained countless times by Aurora, who instructed the magic squadron leaders, a large scale water spell was induced on the ground between both sides, turning it rather muddy to which Aurora started waving the flag to the sides once more, and the number of arrows doubled to a total of 70 thousand, from those who wielded short bows, who could only shoot so far to those who had their initial shot recharged placing yet another big quantity of mana in their longbows completely depleting it from their bodies.

Mercilessly like the first volley of arrows, a lot of casualties befell on the goblins side who still had 40 meters of distance to close to finally crush the opposition.

The goblins who weren't caught by terrain tricks on the ground, split into two sides going around the mud pool, which resulted in a forced approach to the flanks of the moon formation that they didn't realize instantly.

Once they moved an extra 10 meters, all kinds of skills started raining down on them, from small boulders, fireballs, icicles, thunders, vines from underground rooting them, explosions, and others. All of it contributed to many goblins using defensive skills magical and physical. Still making the green ones receive a considerable amount of casualties across their forces, which were now split into two wings that continued running towards the humans losing a bit of momentum.

With the number approaching becoming half of Aurora's army about 300 thousand goblins, the girl waved the flag front and back, making a group of two hundred human musicians, beat some big drums signaling the formation to close turning from a waning crescent to a U-shaped, resulting in an active type of siege by the troops.

With the feeling of closeness from both of the flanks, the goblins were forced to thin into a long stick formation once again, forcing a lot of them to run through the mud, debris, chaos of the battlefield, and corruption of the terrain that didn't have a good shape from all the projectiles and spells that had been shot.

With few meters left all the melee soldiers threw an elemental wave, which gave them time to hide behind the heavily armored soldiers. These attacks forced the first groups of goblins to be mercilessly cut, except those who dodged or parried it spending their own elements prowess, which weren't many, as the goblin lord had only been able to teach them for a short time.

With the change on the line-up, the soldiers were buffed and supported by the classes whose elements were water, earth, nature, and light, granting defensive and health buffs of all types.

Some of the goblins noticing a line composed of tough-looking and shining humans looked behind, finding plenty of injured and dead friends. This made the green ones gain the courage and rage necessary to not halt, going against the humans in a furious response.

The heavily armored soldiers having done nothing yet started hitting the weapons on the shield, causing a sound propagating through the entire line, pressuring the incoming goblins, and then they lighted the weapons and shields clashing against their foes.

From the goblins side, they had their own group of mages and archers who arrived later, not only due to being forced to stop the gigantic fireball but also because of the difference in statuses. Since they too had black sets of armor, and also due to the lower strength, stamina, and agility, there was a small gap between the rear and the front. This allowed the lance formation to have a hole in the middle, which Aurora didn't fail to notice, as it had been one of her schemes. The girl started waving the 3-meter length white flag with a blue sword emblem, aiming upward once more.

This time in a cross-motion which resulted in the third phase of the general plan to start. That made the hero and the sage go into motion, who were both hiding at the right extreme of the formation along with the Saintess and a group of mages. They were behind some guards disguised as normal soldiers wearing sets of blue armor.
