Chapter 1384 - The Battle Against Giants

The cold was unbearable.
And the sky, as dark as ink.
However, as dark as it might be, it was no match for the darkness swimming in the eyes of many.
~Caipui!
A burly man spat to the side in a manly way, looking at the towering walls before him.
It's been a week since they began their siege, and soon enough, they will be able to break through!
"Holy Kardinal Everett, your holy Generals and Monkards have been gathered."
Said a knight, dawned with a diamond eye-shaped symbol on his armor.
"Hmm.."
Everett hummed, making his way back to his tent not too far from where he was.
And the knight who spoke out only followed behind with reverence in his eyes.
Just speaking to such a Holy Kardinal was as though he was receiving the Adonis' blessings on the spot!
The knight looked back at the city that would soon be theirs, snickering and their stupidity to hold the fort.
Heh.
In the face of Adonis, who can win?
Surrender now or face 'His' wrath!
.
Everett lifted the flaps into his massive tent, walking past many seated.
But as prestigious as he was, the moment they saw him, they all stood and performed a strange greeting, doing the eye-symbol with their hands.
"We salute the Holy Kardinal Everett the VII. May the light of Adonis shine upon us at this hour... To Adonis!"
"To Adonis!"
Everyone briefly closed their eyes, communicating with their 'almighty.'
"At ease."
"Yes, Your holiness." Everyone replied.
In the room, the Holy Generals sat directly behind the Holy Monkards.
Each Monkard had 2 Generals seated behind them.
In essence, the Kardinal spoke directly to the Monkards, and the Generals controlled and spoke directly to the Monkards.
The chain of command was so, with each group having their units of trained men.
But make no mistake.
Though only 2 Holy Generals were brought in by each Monkard, this wasn't all they had under their sleeves.
They only brought their most trusted and prized Monkards into the room, leaving the rest to keep overseeing the general battle that was still going on.
As Monkards, rising to this high position meant having at least 15 Monkards in their command.
And each General also had a team of at least 8000 men, with some having up to 11,000, dividing them into different units.
As for the Kardinal, he had 10 Monkards under his command.
The Kardinal's robe was Holy Blue; though he had 3 other main coloured options he could wear; Blue with black lined robes, Blue with white lined robes, or Blue with orange lined robes.
The Monkards could choose between purple robes and 2 other colored robes lined with different colors too.
.
Everett took his seat, rating his ring for all to see.
"With the blessed being given by our great and Holy Leader, we shall win this battle.
First, the Thamans! How are things going with them?"
Thamans... A.K.A priests.
They were believed to convert enemies on the battlefield using their staff.
If one can recall, the staff colors vary from strongest to weakest as; Black, Dark Green, Purple, Red, Blue, Yellow/Golden and finally, Silver/Clear Crystal.
And only high ranking Thamans could use clear staffs, having a higher willpower and strength of manifesting Adonis' powers.
The clearer the staff, the more power they can wield.
One of the Lords smiled, feeling very pleased with the situation.
"Your holiness. The Thamans in my units have had great help since the beginning.
There was a tricky situation along the walls, which we couldn't get over. But after the Thamans prayed, a strong wind descended, curving many enemy arrows away.
With this, we managed to move several more steps closer, finally leaving the barrels of explosives along the barred city gates.
If this continues, it won't be long before we can break through the gates and infiltrate the city!"
The Monkard smiled merrily.
Right now, they are at war in the continent of Omania!
Here, ⅞ of the empires in this continent experience snow.
No... They only had 2 primary weather types: rain and Sun.
.
Typically, when it's snowing for the rest of the world, it would be the sunniest time for them.
And when it was the pique of sunny days around many parts of the world, they would have heavy rainfall too.
In short, their weather was more or less pleasant, with 7 and a half months of sun and 4 and a half months of heavy rains around July to October.
But make no mistake.
At the beginning of their rain to sunny transition, the weather is typically chill and just alright with enough sun... Though it won't rain.
And as the time goes on, the heat picks up, creeping up on one.
And soon, the crazy Hamattans begin, blowing wind and just all around.
The winds can get brutal, as though one were in a sand storm.
No... If those back on earth saw this sort of sand storm some, they would think the end of the world was near.
But for those in this world, such things were normal.
The weather here has always been extreme.
And the grounds here were also far sturdier and richer than Earth's.
There were also strange metals in Omania that would be unidentified for an earthling.
It should be said that it was a tough place and the land of giants. This was basically because the people here were far taller than the average man.
Make no mistake.
The heights in this world varied from what the medieval age heights of people back on earth were.
For example, Landon and many others were already past 6 feet, with the average woman being 5'8 and above.
Even with the way they lived, they could grow to this height.
Well, maybe it was because of the slight deviation of their gravity figure here, which wasn't 9.81 m/s², by the way.
It was slightly close but not the same.
The difference was very negligible in calculations. Yet, it caused so much change in the world itself.
... Or maybe it was because of the other changes from nature and factored around them.
But still... They were all too tall for processed people.
Then imagine how they would be in the nearest future?
.
Omania was the land of giants because the women there averaged 6'2 and the men were 6'8.
And though this was their land and they were more skilled in winning battles here, they seemed to be losing against Adonis!
