Chapter 13 - CHAPTER 13 THE SECOND GREAT WAR OF KISLAVEIN–ASHBRUM

Ancient Imperial Calendar Year 1805

A year had passed since the massacre of the 1,000-strong Kislavein Dynasty, and both Dynasties had completed their preparations for war. The Kislavein Dynasty had gathered a total of 3,700,000 soldiers from the Westerlands, while the Ashbrum Dynasty had gathered a force of about 3,500,000. This war would continue until one side's armies were completely destroyed. The first clashes began on the border. The Ashbrum Dynasty Margraves crossed the borders and attacked the Kislavein towns, massacring some of the minor Dynasties. Herlman II, Lord of the Great House Rodwel of the Kislavein, marched against the Ashbrum invaders with a force of 50,000. He slaughtered the Ashbrum margraves in the Battle of Balmurg, and in revenge he crossed the borders and plundered and massacred the Ashbrum villages.Finally, the Quentin and Quizzah Dynasties, two Great Houses affiliated with the Ashbrums, combined their forces and marched against Herlman with 45,000 soldiers. The two sides met on the Çubuk Plain. Herlman II turned his army around, reined in his horse and gave a speech to boost his army's morale before the battle.

"Today we will show the vile ashbrums the might of the kislaveins We will build towers of their heads and palaces of their gold For the dynasty For our Lord For our kinsmen who were treacherously slaughtered Fight with me my lions The spirits of our ancestors will give us victory, glory and fame with us"

The soldiers began to shout in unison

"LONG LIVE THE KISLAVEIN LONG LIVE THE LORD HERLMAN DOWN WITH THE ASHBRUM "

The other side was relatively calmer, they were not a war and blood-loving community like the Kislaveins, their religious beliefs were Tao Kristava, which made them stay calm even on the battlefield, while the Kislaveins' Ancestor Cult belief was based on not embarrassing the spirits of their ancestors, so the Kislaveins would fight until the last drop of their blood on the battlefield, but the Ashbrums had to stay calm in all situations, these opposing views would always cause advantage and disadvantage on the battlefield. The commander of the Ashbrum forces, Arnould Ashbrum, was aware that he also had to give a speech, turned to his soldiers, stood up in his light armor and instilled courage in his soldiers in a manner befitting a noble person.

"Faithful warriors of Ashbrum, never forget that these heathens believe that when they die, they will become Spirits and their descendants will worship them as gods. It is time to end this perversion. When we die in this war, our souls will be purified and the Guide of the Sacred Path will take our souls to the Garden of Eternal Light. There, we will become one with our God Sihao. The cycle of reincarnation and our eternal suffering will end. Guide of the Sacred Path is with us. Are you with me against these perverts?"

The soldiers, their chests overflowing with faith, felt that the day had come when they would be one with their God Sihao, with a great outburst of courage

"WE ARE WITH YOU, FOR OUR GOD SİHAO, FOR ASHBRUM"

Now both sides had reached the boiling point, they wanted to fight hand to hand and shed blood as soon as possible, the commanders of both armies gave the order at the same time

"ATTACK"

The two armies that received the attack order launched an attack. Until the two armies came into close contact, the magicians tried to wear down the opposing side's rodus with their most violent attack spells until the mana in their hearts ran out. Giant fireballs and lightning rained down on the brave warriors. Ice spells that caused the soldiers of both sides to freeze to their body fluids resulted in the deaths of the soldiers on both sides before they could even swing their swords. Since both sides came into close contact, the Kislavein lost 23,000 soldiers and the Ashbrum lost 28,000 soldiers. The soldiers who came into close contact expressed all the hatred, anger and courage within them. Swords clashed with each other, heads and limbs were torn from their bodies. While screams of pain and anger flew in the air, the soldiers who fell to the ground lost their breath from the unbearable pain of their sword-inflicted wounds and the soldiers who stepped on them, and they took their last breaths in agony.Herlman would send at least ten Ashbrum warriors to the other side with each swing of his two-meter-long, massive axe, while Arnould would kill two to three Kislavein warriors with each swing of his short, thin sword, but he still managed to command his troops successfully. As the battle continued, the numbers on both sides began to even out, showing that Herlman was a strong warrior but a bad commander, while Arnould was a good warrior and a good commander. If the battle had continued in this way, the Ashbrum victory would have been inevitable, unless the two commanders had come face to face. Herlman and Arnould were facing each other in the war. It was obvious from the big smile on his face that Herlman was enjoying the war very much. In this war alone, he had killed hundreds of Ashbrum people with his own hands. When Herlman saw the enemy army's commander in front of him, he was overjoyed. His deep and booming voice

"Look who's here, religious buffoon Arnould, now I'll make you suck the milk you sucked from your mother"

Arnould felt fear in his bones, but he tried to hide his fear so as not to discourage his soldiers

"Don't be happy to see you either-"

Before Arnould could finish his words, Herlman raised his giant axe into the air with incredible speed and swung it hard from top to bottom to cut Arnould in half. Arnould tried to ward off the attack with his sword, but both his sword and his body were cut in two. Seeing this, the Ashbrum warriors were horrified, they lost their will to fight and started to retreat. Seeing this, Herlman shouted at the top of his lungs

"Attack, this is the opportunity, kill as many as you can"

The Kislavein warriors who received the order began to chase the fleeing Ashbrum warriors and killed as many as they could. The Ashbrums retreated to the camp and formed a defensive line. In the evening, the line did not withstand Herlman's powerful attack for even a minute. The Kiislaveins who broke through the line began to massacre. Towards midnight, all the Ashbrums were killed.

Herlman raised his axe and declared victory

"Soldiers, there is no sleep tonight, let's all eat and drink together and enjoy our victory"

The whole army filled their glasses with wine, champagne and beer, the tables were decorated with cows, sheep and chickens, that night the Kislaveins celebrated the first great victory of the war, but this was only the first of the war and there would be more until one of the two armies was destroyed.
