BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58 - Battle Against Tulip(Part One)
"Wha- what is happening!?" Shout Leonardo while leaving his tent.
"Commander! We are being attacked by enemy forces, the sentinels at the north side has been annihilated!" Shout one soldier.
"The beasts are already here!?"
"No! I am afraid….. is a human attack!" Said the guard.
"What?! Human!? But that is impossible! At least....."
"At least Arcadia forces had prepared an ambush attack" A voice came from behind.
The king of Tulip Town came from his tent with Lion\'s heart on his hand.
"Send the first cavalry with Furio on the front, the second and third unit will protect their backs, the enemy is in the shadows so will be bombard the entire area with arrows, they must be at least 200 enemies judging from the rain of arrow from before" Said Felio after some analyzes.
Felio wasn\'t always the king of Tulip Town, he had been a vice commander under the flag of the now retired king of Leitol, of course, he knew his stuff.
"YES, My LORD!" Said Leonardo before going on his way.
"Arcadia forces... why this whole thing smells fishy?" Murmured Felio.
.............................................
The first squad of Tulip has suffered the most with the sneak attack of Artemis losing almost one hundred men in the process; the second and third squad were the flanking forces of Tulip, in other words, they were the archers.
"WE WILL BEGIN OUR OWN ATTACK TO THE ENEMY ATTACK, Remember! WE DON\'T KNOW WHERE ARE THEY HIDING SO SHOOT WITHOUT CONCERN!" Shout the leader of the second and third squad , Furio.
"YES, COMMANDER!" Shout the nearly 150 men.
"SHOOT!" Shout Furio.
.............................................
"ATTENTION! THE ENEMY IS FRONT OF US, WE DONT WERE EXACTLY THEY ARE,SO WE WILL GO WITH EXTREME CAUTION, DON\'T BREAK THE FORMATIONS! Remember! THE DARKNESS WILL BE OUR BEST ALLY BUT ALSO OUR BEST ENEMY! AFTER THE ARCHERS THE SQUADS TWO AND THREE BEGIN THE ATTACK WE WILL FORCE THE ENEMY TO DISPERSE THAT\'S WHEN WE ATTACK, YOU UNDERSTAND!?" Shout the commander of the first, four and five squads.
"YES SIRE!" Shout the nearly 700 men.
The squads form 5 groups of 140 and took a 1-2-1 formation with the five squad at the front.
"LETS GO!" shout the commander.
...........................................
"SPARTANS! DEFENSE FORMATION!"
""YES!""
With Deferio\'s command, the Spartans took their positions, before the battle with the horde, the Spartans didn\'t have enough training and the defense was shabby, as a result, the wolves managed to penetrate the formation, however with the addition on the new recruits plus the training of Cerberus, the Spartans could now became a fortress, of course, it was far from enough in comparison with the actual Spartans.
With the Deferio at the head the Spartans form in a triangle formation.
Just when they finished their preparations, a sound come into their ears.
*BUZZ* *BUZZ*
When Deferio look up, he saw a rain of arrows coming on his way, however, he didn\'t show the least bit of fear.
"SHIELDS UP!"
With Deferio\'s command, The Spartans received the first attack of Tulip!
*CLANK*CLANK*CLANK*CLANK*CLANK*CLANK*
The sound of metal colluding with metal could be heard while the solid formation of the Spartans received all the enemy attack!
.............................................
"ENEMY SPOTTED!" Shout one of the archers.
"They seem to be the front line, strange, I only see 50 something men.... Why?" Murmured Furio.
"Commander! What do we do?"
"Prepare another round! The front line squads aren\'t close enough to the enemy just yet! We will give them as much info as we can! This time, concentrate all our attacks on those men!" Shoot Furio.
"SHOOT!"
Nobody noticed that a small flower behind them was moving in a funny way all this time.
.............................................
"Artemis, they are preparing another round of attack, this time, they will focus the Spartans" Said Demeter with a small smile on her face.
"Roger" Said Artemis.
Alfonso, who was nearby, could only smile wryly.
"The new abilities of Demeter after promoted to the Hero level sure are handy." Thought Alfonso after taking a look at the system.

"What can I say… she is really op" Thought Alfonso.
"However... if I must say that someone is op….."
Thought Alfonso while looking at Artemis.
"Then she is the winner, no doubt" Murmured Alfonso.
"Then, Let\'s do it again" Said Artemis.
Her wings instantly expanded, and her pupils turned red, she lifted her bow and surprisingly pointed to the sky!
"Hunter\'s domain!" Shout Artemis and then… she shot!

]
"Just that ability make her quite the treat, of course, its useless in daytime" Thought Alfonso.
In fact, what the Tulip army didn\'t know that all the rain of arrows has been shot only by Artemis, the other people of Wasteland Valley were hiding somewhere else, of course they didn\'t have any way to knowing that.
