Phase Two release Part 6

Phase Two release Part 6

8. KRh1xQBh5 ……………….. 8. KBf8-h6

The Titan was concerned when the Skeleton soldier refused the King’s orders but came to full realisation after the King ordered the Titan’s people to advance from a bad position and watched them being slaughtered, the Skeleton General sent his own men to assist only to suffer the same fate. Their victor had bunkered down and now taunted them from the safety of their fortifications.
The Titan had never seen such viciousness as that inflicted on the Queen and his own people. But the Risen army pawns had drawn away the spear wielding maniacs that had destroyed its people and exposed the Black fire beast. The Titan on seeing the Fire Shaman directly in his path and seemingly resting, it knew it had an opportunity for revenge, with or without the King’s permission.
Due to the Titan’s size its strongest attacks were head on which when it needed (and to the surprise of everyone on the field) incredibly swift. The resting Shaman had no idea what had hit her and was crushed under the tons of living mountain.

Phase Two release Part 4 The Black King Sees no Challenge | The Leapers Attack

Phase Two release Part 4 The Black King Sees no Challenge | The Leapers Attack
6. h2-h4 ……………………..6. g5xh4
7 g2-g3 ……………………….7. h4xg3

The Black King knew armies were intimidated by the celestial battlefield and were slow to reach their full potential, usually and thankfully too late for their own survival.
But never had he’d seen such inept moves so early in battle. It almost seemed this White Wing Commander was trying to lose the battle rather than win.
The King felt a little pang sensing this battle would offer no challenge. They were no better, maybe marginally worse than those he had fought before and he prepared to wipe them out.
He watched with disdain as his minor army of Leapers laid sections of the White Army to waste down the field.

Phase Two release Part 3 THE QUEEN BURNS, DISSENSION IN THE RANKS

Phase Two release Part 3 THE QUEEN BURNS, DISSENSION IN THE RANKS

3. e2-f3………………. 3.QBg4-h5
4. B2 –B3 ………………… 4. QNb8-c6
5. QNb1-c3 ……………………5. g7-g5

The White army could only look on in horror as the Shaman incinerated the unprepared Queen’s forces and their screams could be heard all the way back to the King’s battle tents.

The White King stood emotionless as gasps of horror rose up from the lines of battle hardened soldiers.
His reaction was swift. He ordered the Dead Army Knight to attack the Fire Shaman head on. The Skeleton General assessing such a move knew it was suicide and refused to move. The experienced General recognised pointless retaliation when he saw it.

He knew his life was forfeit – so what?

The King he used to know was beyond this.

The King’s Bishop stopped the General’s refusal from reaching the King, sensing that a mutiny minutes into a battle would do no one any good. Though he considered the General an abomination, he knew the risen soldier had the knowledge to help well into the fight.

So the Angel knowing the rewards of sacrifice ordered his own priests forward with instant if not unexpected results.

Unbeknownst to the opposing army the Shaman had attacked with a trifle too much enthusiasm and had nearly exhausted her stocks when the White Army Priests charged out. She retreated to the safety of the flanks to recoup her strength.

The White King was furious and the General would be a small stain on the ground if he could justify it. The Angel’s move had undermined his authority as much as the Bone soldier’s had, but also proved to the rest of the army he had made the right decision ignoring his King’s orders.

All through the ranks the King’s fears were being realised. The University Bishop and the Equilord seriously doubted the King’s ability to lead. The Equilord had his people’s welfare to protect and really didn’t give a damn about the King’s ambitions.

The Equilord decided he would go it alone against an unknown enemy that seemed to have been dragged from the pits of Hell itself.

The White King hadn’t expected mutiny so early in the piece, though he had known it was inevitable in the scheme of things. He knew he was vulnerable on the battlefield but none of his army was aware of this.

He just prayed that the Angel would stay loyal just a little while longer

Phase 2 Release Part 2 The White Queen burns.

The White Queen burns.
2. Q-g4 ……………….. 2. QBxg4Q

And disaster he got.

The Queen’s movement up the field exposed her people to the full brunt of the Black army Shaman who attacked without hesitation. The Queen and her charges disappeared in burst of flame and dark smoke.

The White army could only look on in horror as the Shaman incinerated the unprepared Queen’s forces and their screams could be heard all the way back to the King’s battle tents.

They all knew now the capabilities of the Black army.

Phase 2 Release Part 1 The White Queen Enters the field..

The White Queen Enters the field..

1. e2-e4 ……………….. 1. d7-d6

The White King, showing good faith to his Generals and Bishops, ordered his personal guard to lead the charge onto the field of battle, which they did with their usual enthusiasm honestly believing the enemy would fall into instant submission because their King said it was so.

The Black King still at odds to the skills and fighting ability of the opposition played his moves more casually and asked for his Queen to send out her guard for a closer inspection.

The White King could feel the eyes of his entire army boring into his very soul as he thought of his next move and the consequences there of. What he had already planned would have his whole army rethinking their situation.

The King ordered his Queen forward on a diagonal to the Berserkers, this would leave her unprotected but the King answered those who questioned that it was: “ too early in the battle to worry of such trifles and the Queen’s forces were more than capable of taking most attacks.

The King just needed a better view of the enemy”
In past battles the King had proven himself a brilliant tactician and military leader, but usually against a known opponent.
Here, in the opinion of the many he was flirting with disaster…
