Rise of the Human Revolution
Battle of whitetail Woods Part 4- Reinforcements
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPOV Nagai/Japanese.. Location.. Human Entrance Clearing... Time... After Sunset...
Clouds start to gather around the clearing and the air around it feels as if its charged with energy, The troops of Nagai all rush out of the clearing into the woods where the grass is regular green instead of the Color that the grass in the clearing currently is. Soon Lighting bolts start dancing in the sky and the wind picks up, swirling around the clearing and making a vortex in the cloud. Most of the men in Nagai's army would claim to have been in awe at the sight, but most were cowarding under their armor. Soon the vortex starts to form a tornado like object but only in the center of the clearing, lightning dances around the tornado making it seem as if the tornado uses it as a spear ready to strike any infidels.
Once the 'tornado' hits the ground though, the lightning strikes the ground and the electricity kills the grass in a perfect Circle around the tornado. With 4 smaller circles around it and a a strange letter of some sort in each one. After 2 minutes of nothing else happening the Japanese think it is will be over soon, but once they think these thoughts a bright flash of light appears, blinding all who are looking and even those who were looking away at a butterfly like an idiot.
The Light fades after just moments of appearing and in the field, the grass returns to a green color and the clouds and lightning vanish in the bright light... and in their place is another army 10000 strong..
"Seems luck favors us today, now lets go see who these new arrivals are and see if we can wake them up... hmm.. that horse seems to have alot of armor, reminds me of a-
POV.. ???... Location... Georgian region of Lazica... Time.. 551 CE...
-"BYZANTINE CATAPHRACTS!!!" A Sassanian Soldier yells as a thunderous charge of horses in armor charge towards the Sassanians who are totally unprepared for the attack and are slammed into by the Byzantine heavy cavalry, men skeward on lances, sliced by swords, and shot by arrows as the elite cavalry of Byzantium. Soon the Infantry of the Byzantines charge as the Cavalry pulls back to go around the infantry and attack them from the rear.
The Sassanian Spear men, most who are lightly armored levied infantry, are no match for the highly trained heavily armored infantry of the Byzantines, Being so close to their own troops, the Sassanian archers were hesitant to fire their arrows at the byzantine infantry, until their commanders ordered them to fire, their deadly storm of arrows down upon the Byzantines and Sassanian infantry, dealing heavy casualties to their own lightly armored troops and only a few to the more heavily armored Byzantines. Screams of pain and death fill the air as storms of arrows pelt the Byzantines, that is, until the Cataphracts slam into the archers flanks, routing those of weak will and killing those who have the courage, or stupidity, to stay and fight.
Soon the Sassanian Cavalry comes to assist the archers in their plight but are shot and pelted by the Byzantine light Horse archers, who are charged at by a sizable portion of the cavalry, leaving only 60% of the force to face against the elite Byzantine Cataphracts who Already outnumbered them. Soon both cavalries charge eachother, blood spilling on both sides but the difference in numbers making all the difference as the Sassanian Cataphracts are slaughtered with each casualty made to a Byzantine, 3 more Sassanians were killed.
In a few hours the battle is over, Hundreds to Thousands lay dead on both sides and the Byzantines gather to lick their wounds and protect the road from the Sassanians. Soon a larger force will join them and they will soon win this war in Lazica.
"Form up, Cataphracts in front with the Light cavalry on the sides, infantry behind!" Alyattas Christoboulus the Byzantine Commander of this force. "Sargent whats the casualty report."
"From what i could gather we lost a portion of our infantry mostly due to the arrowfire, a few cataphracts and none of our light cavalry were injured, we have about... 10,000 troops even." The Sargent says
"Wow an even number of troops, maybe this is a blessing from god." Alyattas says, surprised at the even number of troops at exactly 10,000. "So how much of each type of troops do we have, and i want exact numbers."
"Already ahead of you sir, we have 3,000 Heavy infantry, 1,000 Archers, 3,000 Cataphracts and 3,000 Light Cavalry."
"Wow perfect numbers, the lord is definitely with us today, maybe this is a sign that we shall have a glorious victory over the Sassanians."
"Perhaps, I do marvel at how we managed to get perfect num-" The sargent is interrupted by a loud rumble coming from the ground.
The whole army is silent and everyone looking around to see where that sound came from, some of the more zealous ones begin to pray to the heavens quietly.
"Uhh.. What was that.." Alyattas mutters to nobody in particular, but his question is soon answered by a large crack in the ground quickly suddenly appear, and quickly spread to encircle the army in a perfect circle, soon even more soldiers are praying to god that this isnt a form of punishment. But after 1 minute of nothing but some prayers, it seems to have stopped, that is until one soldier tries to jump over the crack to make it to the other side, and instantly vanishes. Not only that but the ground starts to shake and the circle beins to sink into the ground, taking the army with them.
Panic ensues as the army try to jump out of the circle or climb out of the hole they are now being dug into by whatever this is, horses suprisingly staying calm and Alyattas himself joining some in prayer for god to save them, But before they can finish their prayer they are all blinded by a flash of light and dissapear..
The ground goes back up and no evidence of the cracks are left....
Equestrian POV... Princess Twilight Sparkle... Location... Ponyvile... TIme... 1 hour after sunset...
"-And this part is made of a bronze alloy, while the tip is made of some sort of Steel or Iron." Twilight explains her new discovery, one of the javelins thrown by the Human during the battle, After finally getting access to the equipment of the late ponyville guards during their battle. Unfortunately she couldn't research the few weapons she recovered from the humans due to friendship problems and random parties by Pinkie Pie. But fortunately she finally has had time to take closer looks at their weapons to maybe help her brother against the humans.
"And since the middle part here is made of bronze it bends when it hits an object, which wouldn't make such a good weapon but then i saw what happened to the armor and.. bodies of the guards they were thrown against. And they pierced the armor and bent in the armor/body, which actually makes sense, since once it bends it cannot be thrown back and not only that it will stay in a shield or pony it was thrown at, knocking them out of the fight or taking away their shield. When you consider that this turns this simple javelin into a master piece of technology and-"
"TWILIGHT!! Your rambling again." Spike says, while sitting in a chair next to 5 sleeping ponies, aka the rest of the mane 6. "You put them to sleep like 10 minutes ago."
"Oh.. i guess i get like that sometimes..." Twilight says while putting the bent and cleaned Javelin down and goes to wake up her friends.
"Girls wake up!" Twilight yells, waking up her friends.
"Zzz huh? oh sorry Twily..." Rainbow says while stretching in the chair.
"Yes you do get.. very.. informative without regard to entertainment of the crowd.." Rarity tells Twilight.
"Yeah sorry about that but-" Twilight is cut off by a 3rd Huge magical drainage much like the last two times, with much pain coming to the unicorn and alicorn in the group and mild un-comfort to the other ponies and 1 dragon in the group.
"Uh oh.. i have a bad feeling about this..." Twilight says, holding her horn.....

Author's Note
OK i surprisingly write this very very quickly so i am sorry if this seems sloppy or something but i really wanted to get another chapter out so i can get to the JUICY SIEGE ASSAULT PART. also yes Byzantines, nobody won the contest even though it was a very very short amount of time to put a comment but i doubt anyone would've gotten it. What surprised me even more is HOW MANY PEOPLE WANTED VIKINGS OR CRUSADERS, like i understand their very well known soldiers and warriors but really, those are overdone.
Anyways thanks for reading and im not gonna add anymore armies for a while at least, probalby gonna use freed human slaves to bolster the human numbers n stuff.
