Citadel

Chapter 1 - One-Man Army

The mud around us was slick with blood, and the air hummed with the terrifying, crackling resonance of enemy spells.

Thirty soldiers of the Vanguard were cornered against the trench wall, their lightweight titanium chestplates heavily dented. Across the smoking field, a horde of a hundred magic-wielding elves advanced, their fingers glowing with lethal arcane energy. The soldiers were completely surrounded. They were outmatched, outgunned, and out of time.

Desperate, a bloodied soldier slammed his hand against his radio, his voice cracking over the static.

"Commander! We're trapped at the Ridge! They're closing in! We need backup—send at least a thousand men, or we won't last another five minutes!"

The radio crackled for a long, agonizing second. Then, the Commander’s calm, steady voice echoed back through the speaker.

"Negative, soldier. I don't have a thousand men to spare. But the one I am sending is equal to a thousand anyway. Look above you, Vanguard. He must be dropping by right about now."

The soldier blinked, wiping rain and mud from his eyes as he looked up into the stormy gray sky. High above the clouds, the heavy metal doors of an airborne helicopter threw themselves wide open.

Two hundred feet in the air, a massive silhouette stood at the precipice.

It was a single Soldier dropping from the sky with immense speed. We thought the soldier was unconscious and would be dead as soon as he touched the ground but the soldier directly landed on the 100 elf legion.

Then the guy just landed on the elf soldiers and instantly knocked 10 elfs out from sheer Impact then he stood up and said “Sorry Guys i was late on Schedule” it was my first time seeing someone like this that kid was younger than me and then he said to all of us “ok Guys don’t worry just wait a minute till i beat these guys and we are going back to our camp” then that boy in 5 minutes alone took the rest elfs all by himself.
