The roaring sounds from the warriors filled the atmosphere like a thundering effect from men of war. They stomped their feet on the ground in unison with the dust turning the air gold.
Each warrior from their clan stood on each side, miles away from each other. They roar with swords in their hands and clang them on their shield, making a war preparation noise.
The men on the frontier leading the war sat on their horses, roaring with all of their might with their eyes focused on their enemies. The horses neighed, clinking their hoofs on the sandy ground.
“Bring their heads down and we shall hang it up for others to see. Let their cock hang around their necks. Detach their legs from their bodies and pluck their eyes from their sockets. Make their children fatherless and their wives, widows. Do this till the death of you!!” their leader, Shagan roared, raising his sword in the air.
“Till the death of us!!” they all shouted in unison.
“Shield!” Shagan called and the men with the shield formed a symmetrical line in front.
They were all focused on their opponents who were as well ready to charge.
“Arrows!” he called again and the men with the arrows rushed forward, setting their arrows above, stepping behind the men with the shield.
“Pull!” They all set the arrow on the bow and pulled the bow string.
“Shield men, stand your ground!”
“Pull!” He instructed the arrow men.
“Pull!”
As soon as the opponent's arrows were flying in the air, almost reaching them, he shouted. “Release!!”
The arrows interjected while some fell to the ground. Some hit the warriors and they dropped to the ground.
The opponents moved forward as they fired the arrows, making war noises as they approached. The thousands of arrows in the air masked the sky, settling a brief darkness over them.
“Stand your ground!” Shagan yelled at the top of his voice over the deafening war noises made by their opponents.
The arrows continued to fly in the air, raining on each side of the battleground with men dropping dead like birds.
“Shield men, build a wall!”
Immediately, the men with the shield made a formation with the men on the frontier doubling up, mounting their shield so that it was now in two layers.
The opponents had moved farther away from their spot at the other end of the battleground. They were getting closer but the other warriors stood their ground.
“We are the Calan Clan and we do not retreat!” he yelled again, encouraging his men.
With the Calan clan’s shield formation, the arrows from the opponents fell to the ground with the thousands of arrows making noises.
A few arrows got to the Calans with a few men dropping to the ground while their arrows hit hundreds of their opponent's men every second.
As they got closer, miles away from their spot and a few miles to the Calans, Shagan men ran out from the woods, making loud noises as they did so. Now, the opponents were rounded up without expecting it.
As the other Calan warriors ran from the woods to their opponents, a few arrows from the opponents hit the Calan men but they pushed further.
“Attack!” Shagan shouted and the men with the shield gave way to the thousands of men with the swords as they ran forward to attack, shouting.
Soon, the clanking sounds of swords and shields filled the ears. The crying sounds of dying warriors mixed with the squelching sound of the sword penetrating their bodies.
The Calan clan had surrounded their opponents now and they had the upper hand. Though some of Shagan’s men died and were injured, they still caused their opponent to call for retreat.
It was nighttime now, the men celebrated, laughing and almost bursting out with happiness. They sat and jollied with their women, drinking wine and dining on their prey that got caught in their traps.
Everything paused as soon as Shagan walked in.
He had a broad smile on his face as he walked into the hall, shaking some of his men. He was dressed in a nighttime robe with his long hair folded at the back of his head.
“You may all be seated!” he said as soon as he sat.
We looked around the hall with his best warriors staring at him.
“Today, we break through from the Amadeus’. We fought for our victory, one that our forefathers couldn’t attain. We strategized and caught them off guard, leading to our victory. We remain in unity and fight till the day we die!” he concluded, raising the goblet of wine for a toast.
“Till the day we die!” they all said as they lifted the wine to their mouths, taking a large gulp.
“Let the celebrated resume!!”
They all shouted joyously with the music playing in the background and laughter as its rhythm.
Shagan was meant to be the happiest man after conquering the men that took away his joy but he had nothing to be happy about, his wife and child were killed and there was nothing left to be happy for.

Strategy is very important in war, it could be the only difference between the two sides. Just like the Calan clan were victorious because of the strategy they adopted.
War! I wonder why people fight instead make peace.
Lol. Sometimes you need war to make peace.
