Ancient Imperial Calendar Year 1808
It was spring 1808, the weather was slightly cloudy, a light breeze coming from the sea heralding the arrival of summer. The Port of Famagusta was the favorite vacation spot of the Dynasties in the Middle Lands, but after this war, these lands would become a place that held bitter memories of a bloody war.
Four years had passed since Ashbrum had massacred the Kislavein ambassadors and the war had begun. The great battles that had begun on the borders and led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, assassinations, espionage operations, and more had manifested themselves in the great war between the East and the West, but now both sides were determined to end this war, and like every great war on the continent, this war would end in the Middle Lands.
The port of Famagusta, located on the northern borders of the Middle Lands, would witness the bloodiest battle in its short history.
IV Orsman led 2,950,000 Kislavein soldiers against 2,840,000 Ashbrum soldiers of Carl XXI, in what would go down in history as the bloodiest open field battle in history. Kislavein had the most elite forces, the Bloodhawks under IV Orsman's direct command were the most feared troops and only received orders from the lord of the throne, the second in command of the center was the Blood Orphans under IV Orsman's great uncle Fraud Kislavein, the second in command was Krael Kislavein, the most powerful member of the Kislavein Dynasty after Orsman, who commanded the Blood Bastards battalion.
The right wing was commanded by Arrogan Kislavein, subordinates were Gustav Kislavein, son of Geovric, the leader of the embassy killed by the Ashbrum, and Dornas, brother of Julius Kislavein, who was also killed by the Ashbrum.
The left wing commander was Kervin Payrist, leader of the Payrist Dynasty, while his subordinates were Edward Rodwel and Tyrel Kislavein, sons of Herlman Rodwel and Talonis Kislavein, who were killed in the battle of Lazeric.
Kislavein's central army had 750,000 elite soldiers, while the left and right wings had 1,100,000 soldiers split equally. The Ashbrum forces were similarly organized, with the central army being led by House Lord Carl XXI, commanding 840,000 soldiers, 600,000 of which were the Golden Lions legion, and the Ashbrum House Elite forces were formed from this legion, with Carl's brothers Malcolm Ashbrum and Weion Ashbrum as his second-in-command.
On the right wing there were Marco Ashbrum, who won the Lazeric war, his aide Brian Ashbrum and Brian's cousin Hugochen Ashbrum, with one million soldiers.
On the left wing there were three prominent figures of the Ashbrum Dynasty, in the center was the left wing commander, the Elder wizard Shengad Ashbrum,
and his assistant commanders were Ojin Ashbrum and Ricao Ashbrum.
The two armies made their final preparations before the battle, prayers were read, swords were sharpened, spells were prepared and the battle began with the order of the Hand Lords, first the war of the wizards began, as always, they cast various spells until their Mana ran out, some threw meteor-sized rocks and fireballs onto their enemies, while others darkened the air and rained blinding lightning down from the grave onto the soldiers, ice wizards froze the soldiers' bodies and caused them to disintegrate, when the war of the wizards ended, both armies had lost almost half of their forces, now it was the turn of the Warriors, the real owners of the square IV Orsman led his horse forward, raised his giant sword, which was 6 meters long and 3 meters wide, and looked at his soldiers and shouted in a loud and powerful voice.
"BRAVE WARRIORS OF THE KISLAVEIN DYNASTY, CUT AND SLAVE AS YOU WISH, SHOW THE ASHBRUMS HELL AND ATTACK"
Having received the order, the warriors of Kislavein attacked with all their might, with great excitement and discipline, under the leadership of their commander. The blood hawks led by IV Orsman transferred their auras to their long and pointed spears and attacked like death machines, transferred their mana to their horses and increased their speed.
The Ashbrum Dynasty Lord XXI Carl also ordered his soldiers to attack and led the attack himself in the front. The Bloodhawks cut through the Golden Lions under Carl's command like an arrow and scattered them in pieces. With each swing of his sword, Orsman cut dozens of Ashbrum soldiers and their horses into pieces. Then he cast his most powerful spell, the Hybrid Spell. This spell is a combination of water, air, earth, fire, light and darkness spells that creates an element called "Nur" that requires a high amount of mana. Only high-tier mages can use this element, of course, if their mana and stamina are sufficient.
When Orsman used Nur, the surroundings were illuminated in white. The Ashbrums lost around 30,000 soldiers, the rest lost their senses. Orsman used this opportunity to surround the central armies under Carl's command with his elite warriors.
"This is the opportunity, kill them all"
Hearing the order, the Blood Hawks, Blood Orphans and Blood Bastards swung their swords without even taking a breath. The Ashbrum right and left wings were trapped by the Kislavein right and left wings, so they could not help the center. Carl was able to escape the Kislavein death circle thanks to his brother Malcolm. Within an hour, the Ashbrum central armies were destroyed.
Orsman divided the Central army into two and sent them to the right and left wings. When the Kislavein elite warriors came to support the flanks, the balance of the battle was in the Kislavein's favor. The Ashbrum's only hope was to kill Orsman. Carl and his two brothers, Malcolm and Weion, managed to confront Orsman with the sacrifice of countless soldiers.
"Your reign ends here IV Orsman" said the Ashbrum lord Carl
"You killed countless warriors. Today you will pay for your sins and die, Kislavein" said Malcolm
"Fear Orsman our God Sihao will curse your soul forever"
Orsman burst into laughter
"You are getting my head around me, your words are so cliché my ears are bleeding, we will see who will die, I will send you to your non-existent God, you can thank me later"
The Ashbrum brothers went crazy after the insults against them and their gods, Carl was at a high level in swordsmanship, his brothers were at a high level in magic, but Orsman was at the top of both magic and swordsmanship. Even though his mana was gone, he still had mana. He swung his sword and threw Carl, who was attacking him, meters away. He protected himself by strengthening his armor with his aura against Malcolm and Weion, who rained fire and lightning on him. Then he swung his sword. The aura on his sword materialized. It split the air like a shining line and advanced like a deadly crescent. It shattered those standing in front of him. Malcolm and Weion were surprised by what had happened. There was a huge cut from their shoulders to their waists. Orsman's aura tore through their armor and cut their flesh. Weion was shocked, lost his mind, the pain blinded his eyes and deafened his ears.
"Aaaaaa brother it hurts so much it hurts so much"
While Weion was screaming in pain, Malcolm kept his cool and healed his wound with a light spell and stood up. When he noticed his brother in shock, he punched him hard in the face and started yelling
"COME TO YOURSELF WEION IF WE FALL HERE IT WILL BE ALL OVER, CALM DOWN"
Weion had calmed down and regained consciousness
"Cast a light spell and heal yourself right away"
Orsman quickly rushed forward, slaughtering the Ashbrums who tried to stop him, wanting to finish them off before they could give their opponents a chance to recover. Weion healed himself and stood up at that moment. Carl arrived. All three were well aware of the situation they were in. If they fell here, they would lose the war. The Ashbrums would fall, and future generations would hate them for starting this war by slaughtering the Kislavein delegation. All three prepared for war. Orsman quickly attacked them. In the fierce battle, Weion was the first to die at Orsman's hands. Orsman cut him in two. Then, he thrust his sword into Malcolm's mouth, whose magic power had run out, and cut his head and brain upwards. Finally, Carl weakened and fell to his feet. His fatigue had seeped into his eyes and body. His lips were chapped from thirst, and he was taking his last breaths.
"I will not ask for mercy Orsman, my only request from you is to kill me quickly if possible, and do not harm the innocent people"
Orsman did not want to bother answering, but wanted to put Carl in his place
"Only the winners can ask for something, die Ashbrum House Lord"
Orsman swung his sword diagonally from the air towards the ground. Carl's severed head flew into the air. Orsman impaled Carl's head on the tip of his sword and lifted it into the air. Carl's head was 4 meters high. When the ashbrums saw the lord's severed head, they started to run away, but this time the Kislavein did not chase after those who were running away because they themselves were exhausted. In that day's battle, 1,800,000 Kislavein soldiers died while the Ashbrum soldiers died, 2,400,000. When civilian casualties were included in this equation, eight million people had died in the past four years, and if the Ashbrums did not surrender, they would continue to die.
