My Beginning After the End Downfall

Zestier Pt. IV

(One Week Later)

Virion Leywin (Clone 1)

I stood there, awaiting the seventy thousand troops I counted heading our way, we were about three hundred yards out from the gates of Zestier, with me were one hundred troops, all of them mages.

As I looked around at everyone's faces, I realized they were scared, but that was to be expected. "Hey!" I shouted, getting the attention of everyone as I stood in the front next to Tessia. "Listen up, yes, they outnumber us drastically, but you all know the plan, if you can't keep up here, you run back, this is just a decoy, remember that. We are just showing them that we aren't giving up Zestier without a fight, so when we retreat, they think we are the only soldiers present, is that clear?"

"Yes!" They all shouted back to me, the marching of the seventy thousand troops drew closer, they shook the ground, causing fear to grow even more in all the soldiers.

"That's good to know!" I shouted back to them, then side eyed Tessia, giving her a smile, then continued to speak. "Princess Tessia and I will meet them first, and I will wreak some chaos! I have no clue how many I will kill, but it will be a lot, and all you will hear is screaming, but it will be your enemy screams, so do not worry!"

"A little dark, don't you think?" Tessia said as I finished the sentence, and I shrugged.

"Stand your ground for as long as you can, and when you think you can't do it any longer, you turn back, and run!" I finished, the plan wasn't to fight here for that long, but we were going to deal a decent blow inside of the forest. "Go ahead, Tessia, I am sure words from the Princess will help."

She shook her head with a smile, then spoke up. "Behind me, is a force we have never seen before! Behind you, is our home! Everyone has already fled, but that does not mean we have no reason to fight! We can't just abandon our homes for them to just take! We are the first part of this plan; we will do what we must to make sure everything goes as Lance Virion designed it to! Who's with me! Who is ready to defend Elenoir? Who is ready to defend Dicathen!" She raised her sword, and I rolled my eyes as everyone began to shout.

Helen stepped up, joining us. "Are you sure about this?" She asked me, and the soldiers behind us started to chatter, getting ready to fight till their death, which was most likely going to happen.

Tessia, Helen, and I formed a small circle, the ground shaking even more, but they were still decently far away from us. "Nope." I answered her honestly. "Is everyone ready inside of Zestier?"

She nodded her head. "Yes, the troops are all were you wanted, and Lance Aya is ready to lead the charge." Helen told me, I had the Twin Horns in Zestier, not here, Helen wasn't fighting with us out here, she was going to run back when we started the battle.

"Okay, Helen, go head back, I think it's time Tessia and I go." I told her, and she hugged me. "Good luck." I told her as my head laid on her chest, I was a clone, but to these people, I was the real deal, so I had to do a lot of acting.

"I should be saying that to you." She released me, shot me a smile, then started to run away. I thought Adam should have been the one to do this, but Helen insisted on being the one so she could see me before the battle.

Jasmine was no longer here, she left three days ago, it was hard explaining that to everyone, but all we did was tell them she had a special mission she had to do for Commander Virion, and it seemed to work.

"You ready?" I asked Tessia, and she nodded her head. "Then let's go start the battle." I examined Tessia's armor, it seemed new, nice, it fit her well. I found it funny that it was green and silver, when you think of elves in any world, the first color that comes to mind is green.
