Then I might have a problem. It’s 62k WIP so far.

That being said, there are lots of twists, events, stratagems, and battle plot developments… The king gets involved with his army, and the enemy has air, fire, water, and earth elemental golems (as well as a giant golem that combines all four elements). He also has four cursed elementals at his disposal that have different effects when he uses them (thankfully only one use each).

yeah, I call magic in my world ‘essence’, based off of Plato’s perfect forms. Different races have different essence abilities (some include power over elements, insects, plants, transforming into animals, etc.)

The battle begins with the layout and the appearance of the elementals on the enemies side Then the king orders the castle formation and plant walls rise out of the ground like a maze. the elementals attack and at first are held back but then the air elementals attack in force and the scales are tipped. then, a giant golem shows up and throws boulders the size of houses and wrecks the walls, almost leading to a rout. a heroic general shows up and saves the king from a boulder, then the giant golem retreats. things look up, but then the enemy shoots a curse and kills the king’s second in command, who saves the king. Anyone who touches his corpse dies and becomes infected too, so anyone who touches them dies, etc. Then the giant golem comes back, this time with all four elements at its disposal and wreaks havoc.

finally, the hero/love interest of the story comes into play, after going to recruit more allies from the sea (race who can transform into animals) and they come up from behind the enemy and attack, taking out the water elementals and attacking the enemy lines from behind. The enemy’s general gets involved in the fight then, and the king orders troops he had hidden behind the next hill to charge (calvary) and he enters the battle too. It becomes a pitched battle, and nearing the end… (that’s as far as I’ve written so far). The protagonist will save the hero from the last curse, and then the enemy general will die, ending the battle.

…. so…. yeah. long, big, epic battle…
