In the snowy mountains, acting like a ravine for a road came a huge army marching for war. On the road the Caribou army is marching with the clanging of steal began to thunder over the horizon. Some of them are riding some sort of warbeasts and they are armed with iron swords, axes, spears, and they carries object that looks like a statue of a glorified warrior or something like that. This army of 50 000 Caribou warriors intent to conquer Equestria with their heavy metal and leather armor on, and with the intention to enslave every female of the kingdom while brainwashing every male into their faith.

However, after an hour or two, something is happening in front of them. Some black-green thing of smoke flew around the sky before it crash landed in front of the army, cause a smoky explosion of black and green to get their attention. The army stopped to see what that was. Two armored caribou that look like roman centurions, walk ahead of the army to explore the sickly black-green mist formed from the explosion.

But before they could come any futher to the mist. I, Arton Ravenheart emerge from the mist and start walking towards the huge army. The two armored caribou saw me before looking at each other and then at me again.

"Who might you be!?" One of them asked me as I kept walking.

"The death of all of you." I spoke with a voice of a nazgul.

"You must be joking! How can you possibly fight us alone?" The other caribou mockingly asked.

Then I just said the famous thing.

"I am one. But we are many." I said as I summoned an army of 500 gondorian ghost to my side.

Before any caribou could react, I jump up into the sky and made a very powerful Shadow Strike on the ground where many caribou soldiers are and with my warhammer I struck the ground with a lethal Wraith Flash and kill a lot of caribou soldiers. When that was done my gondorian ghosts drew their swords and start attacking the caribou. When I was surrounded and protected by my ghosts, I used my wraith ability to raise dead caribou and turn them against their own comrades.

-:- Third Person's POV -:-

While Arton Ravenheart push forward with his undead soldiers and gondorian ghosts. The Lunar Legion that divided itself into two hid right behind the mountains on both sides, start forming into squads of soldiers forming lines and began to dive attack through the Caribou army and disappear in the darkness of the mountains. As several bat-pony squads chip away at the enemy army the other squads began launching volley after volley of arrows and kill many caribou from a far.

After a few swings through the caribou army and killed many of them with their swords, spears and speed, the squads would switch place with the ones who shoot rains of arrows. All these multiple attacks with adaptive teamwork by repeating these strikes and switch places with the ones sending vollies of arrows at random, their undead allies keep on pushing forward in their frontal assault and keep killing many caribou who would rise again against their own.

While Arton Ravenheart lead the undead horde to pierce through the enemy army, he entrust General Scarlet Night to be in charge of the dive attacks from the mountains and continued her repeated sneak-attacks, devoting her efforts into tripping up the caribou army and whittling away their numbers.

The caribou army was already starting to crumble and fall apart. This surprise attack has already killed far too many of their own warriors in short time. While a stranger with necromantic powers charge forward killing their soldiers and raise them against their own, the starless and moonless night is bringing death from the sky way to quickly for them to really know what is happening. The bat-pony soldiers of the Lunar Legion are far more adaptable to the night and can also operate better in dark environments.

Raising soldiers is not the only thing that Arton Ravenheart use in battle. He also use his wraith powers to summon a few caragors, a graug, a drake and a cluster of big spiders to battle. With numerous of unknown creatures (and a creature misstaken for a dragon) fighting along side the undead horde, and unseen quick-attacks from the dark of the nights causes the Caribou army to loose their numbers in a quick rate. Within an hour their 50 000 was dimmed down to 45 000, in two hours the 45 000 became 38 000 and it didn't take too long for that 38 000 to turn into 26 000 soldiers.

-:- Arton Ravenheart's POV -:-

While leading the frontal assault, I marched on into the vast horde of these antlered rapists. One unlucky axe wielder tried to charge at me in a desperate rush, only for me to swing my warhammer with enough force to rip the stag's head clean off. With the backwards momentum, I swung my great warhammer at another attacker, sending him flying through the air right back into his fellow caribou. Yet another caribou tried crossing swords with me and received a swing so strong it broke his iron shield in two and nearly tore his arm off. It was like this every step of the way, and the way was very long.

Since I summoned a drake to bring fire on the caribou, I didn't see any bat-ponies trying to attack it. I bet Scarlet Night has already figured out that it was on our side and ordered her soldiers not to harm it.

While the Lunar Legion was whipping out the numbers of the caribou army, my warhammer was painted red and my veins were pumping with adrenaline. I always find myself a trail of corpses, no matter how far I walked. It seems that my gondorian ghosts can die if you strike them with many slashes enough and they disappear into thin air. The good news is that for every one gondorian ghost and bat-pony soldier corpse there were about a dozen or more caribou who won't live to fight another day.

Whenever I feel exhausted, I take a few step backward and allow my undead soldiers deal with them. In the progress I raise more and more caribou warriors and ordered them to charge forward. After watching the battle from a distance, I recover myself the energy I spent. For a while I was enjoying watching the battle from afar, the world was almost completely black but I could see well how the battle goes and it goes well for us. Scarlet Night has proven to be a competent and dutiful commander, she also proves to be smart by ordering her soldiers not to attack my drake. Already I feel like we are winning, I keep pushing forward and the caribou seems to have not even figured out where the Lunar Legion is coming from. When I feel rested enough, I joined my undead soldiers on the battle and raised more dead.

When I joined the fight, a sword came to greet me straight in the head. I quickly grabbed it with my left hand and quickly delivered a fatal blow with my warhammer with my right hand. Three more soldiers tried to stab me with their pikes. One of the soldiers thrusted the pike toward me, bu I manage to dodge it. Just as the soldier pulled his pike back, I pulled it towards me. And with a mighty swing of my warhammer is send that soldier flying up and fall down to the ground. The other two began to hesitate their steps. I roared as I charge forward and swinged my warhammer and send them both flying away. More and more caribou tried to swarm me and my undead horde, but I stood defiant against all that. With every blow I scored a kill, and with every step I dodged an attack. I feel like my whole body was in an automated mode. Dodge, hit, kill and repeat. I could hear nothing but the sound of metal clashing each other and how weapons cutting flesh.

I backed away once more to raise more fallen warriors to war and recover my energy, but a caribou somehow manage to get through my undead horde and came charging at me with a two-handed sword. But before he could reach me, something flew past him so quickly I could not see what it was and by the second he was already headless and fell to the ground.

"Are you doing well sir Arton?" A voice spoke from behind me, I turned around and found Scarlet Night next to me. I guess she was the one who flew and killed that caribou.

"Indeed, general. How goes with the Lunar Legion?" I asked her.

"Your plan is working perfectly. We may have lost a few hundred already but the enemy are getting demoralized because of the confusion and how quickly they are loosing their numbers. And your undead army is terrifying them even more." She reported to me.

"Have you seen the enemy commander? If we kill him then this battle will no doubt be ours." I asked her.

"I have seen him, he's riding one of those warbeasts and he wears a full red armor, he also wears a strange mask-helmet made of gold and he wields a spear-sword hybrid weapon. Also one of his antlers is made of metal." She informs me about the enemy commander. Now that I know how he look like, all I had to do was to find him.

"Keep leading the Lunar Legion and weed out their numbers, I'll keep pushing forward. Once you see me take him down, you will then order everyone to fly right behind the enemy army and prevent them to flee. If we're gonna win this war quickly, we must kill every last one of them." I explains my plan to her before offering my hand for a shake.

"Let's finish this battle." I said and she took my hand for shake.

"Agreed!" She said and then I went forward to join my undead army, but I was stopped when she called my name.

"Arton! Be careful." She said with concern.

"You too Scarlet." I said with a smile before running back to battle.

I immediately charge forward with my warhammer, with the undead and what little gondorian ghosts there are charging into the frey with me, weapons raised. And Scarlet Night flew back to her soldiers in the night sky.

It didn't take long for me to find the caribou commander that Scarlet Night told me about. He was riding on a warbeast and he has indeed a masked helmet made of gold and he had a iron antler. It was indeed him and now I shall end him and win this battle quickly.

When I was close enough I jumped into the sky and used my wraith powers to make a double jump to get higher and then I activated my wraith ability to slow down time and take aim towards the caribou commander. When he was locked on, I right now preforme the most famous and effective Shadow Strike Chain. Killed both him an several well armed caribou who appears to be a few high ranking officers by appearing right in front of them very quickly and swing my warhammer at their heads. Before anyone could realize where I came from, the sight of their commander's death is spreading mass panic among the caribou and they began to run away already.

Before I could do anything else, I heard Scarlet Night shout out to the Lunar Legion from the night sky.

"Behold! Arton Ravenheart has now single handedly taken out their LEADER!" General Scarlet Night shout out and the entire Lunar Legion roar in triumph.

"General Night! Fly behind the horde and form a shield wall, don't let any of them escape!" I yelled out in the sky and it seems that she was doing just what I told her.

"EVERYONE ATTACK! MAKE SURE YOU KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!!" I roared as loud as possible for all to hear me.

-:- Third Person's POV -:-

As Arton Ravenheart charge forward against the retreating caribou, Scarlet Night and her Lunar Legion manage to fly past them and landed on the ground. The bat-pony soldiers formed a shield wall so wide and long it completely blocked the road, preventing the fleeing caribou to move past them. By Arton's order, the Lunar Legion and his undead army kept on slaughtering the caribou until there are no remnants left. Even the caribou who surrendered and dropped their weapons were cut down without mercy.

Arton's reason for this mass butchery against this already defeated army is psychological warfare. If words about an army of 5000 bat-ponies slaughtered an entire army of 50 000 well trained caribou warriors, not only would King Dainn and his followers be demoralized but also those who oppose him will be ever encouraged to take a stand against him.

It all took merely one and half hour for Arton's undead horde and the Lunar Legion to finally meet and filled the whole road with caribou corpses. When the battle was over, Arton changed his armor into a new decent one. By doing that all the reanimated caribou corpses fell down to the ground dead again and the caragors, the graug, the spiders, the remaining gondorian ghosts and the drake disappeared into thin air.

-:- Arton Ravenheart's POV -:-

It was finally over. This battle has made me completely forgotten just how exhausted I am. I'm completely surrounded by corpses of fallen soldiers, when I changed into my Lawbringer armor all the raised corpses I commanded dropped dead again because this new armor is not designed for necromancy. This armor can create and control a fog with special properties that would grant me plenty of special advantages. Not only can I use the fog to blind my opponents so I can escape. I can also use it to fight, hit and run as my foes cannot see me or my allies. The best part of it is that the smoke I control can perform a variety of magical effects.

The reason I called it lawbringer is because this is the armor I wear when I was hunting criminals and those who oppose Nightmare Moon's rule. My time of suppressing banditry and resistance for Nightmare made this armor known for enforcing the Night Queen's law, for that reason it's called Lawbringer.

But enough of that, I now stand catching my breath before I saw Scarlet Night comming towards me.

"I must say, the Lunar Legion's first battle ever went surprisingly well. I'm just glad that we all made it, all thanks to you." She said with a gentle smile.

"Well now, with the battle over. We should rest and recuperate. Can we make camp in the mountains, that way no one can attack us." I asked her.

"Yes, we can. There are some trees close enough to make camp fires to warm us up. We can carry you up to one of these tents in the mountains. You should rest to, you earned it." She spoke gently.

"Ahhh, but so does you general. While you're at it, carry some of our own dead and give them a burning funeral. We will mourn those who lost their lives for freedom and we will thank our lucky stars for surviving this night. Tomorrow, we shall end this war once and for all." I said, determined to end the tyranny of King Dainn.

She nob and start giving orders to the Lunar Legion. They all started to build up tents atop of the mountains and burning their dead. We left the caribou corpses be because they are far to many for us to take care of. While it happened, Scarlet and some bat-pony in armor came to me and carried my up in the air and led me to a nice tent in the mountain. I thanked them and went inside. It was nice and decent enough to make myself comfortable and warm enough to sleep. So I removed my helmet and laied at the sleeping bag made of animal fur (still wearing my armor). Before long I quickly drifted into sleep.

-:- Unknown Person's POV -:-

"I can't believe it. This army has completely annihilated King Dainn's forces!" Said an unknown person.

And this unknown person happens to be a female creature.

"I must tell the others about this!" She said while she went down the mountain top.

"Whoever commands this army, maybe our only hope to bring Dainn's rule to an end at long last!" She said to herself with much hope in her voice.

Author's Note
