During the age of the golden empire many scholars and mages dedicated their lives to studying the elves. Everything about them, from language to culture and religion.

Unfortunately their knowledge died with the destruction of the empire and the endless wars resulting after that.

Many attempted to restore the knowledge which the world had lost back then but the results were underwhelming to say the least.

Today scholars are still trying to put the pieces of lost history together, including the elves, once overlords of the world entire. Deciphering the mysterious languages and signs of the elves was a priority in this endeavor.

However, they faced a wall not long after. That was, two languages. The elves had used two languages, at least that's what they understood. The languages were named common elvish and ancient elvish.

It turns out the elves were using common elvish for day to day tasks while ancient elvish was used for important matters. That is where the problems started.

The linguists managed to understand most of the common elvish after generations of studying but...

Ancient elvish remained unclear even now, at this point people just gave up on understanding it. But not mages, they were the most adamant about it and will never let it go, this is because any mage could sense that there was a strange and weird power in the ancient elven tongue.

Basically the greatest secrets of the elves were within their reach but they didn't have the ability to get their hands on them. It was too frustrating.

Although most mages did not understand it, they still couldn't let it go. Which is why many mages keep books such as they close by even though it was useless.

Meeralah said that she wasn't interested in things like that so if he wanted it, she would give it to him as a gift for his first day.

Esdras naturally wasn't an expert in ancient languages and he wouldn't get any better results, the system didn't have that kind of function anyway.

But, the Pharaoh said that he wanted something like this and needed only a few days to learn it and teach it to Esdras. It was useful having an ancient evil sealed within your consciousness from time to time.

Esdras remembered the events of the war in Seorie.

On the first day, the orcs army approached the city and all went quite as the vast numbers brought an air of tension to the city, however the orcs made no attacks instead they made camp outside of the city's walls, while the defenders make ready to hold their ground. The orcs then made several probing attacks against the walls, but without success due to the magical barriers.

The magic barriers integrated into the walls were active at all times but they were usually operating at the lowest capacity due to the cost but during war these concerns faded away.

The city had fifteen thousand well armed and disciplined soldiers, the defense is lead by commander Ricker. And the walls are reinforced by thirty mages in command of various magical elements such as fire, water, wind and earth. They also have defensive engines such as Ballista, Catapult, and giant Scorpions.

After determining that the orcs numbered no more than ten thousand the commander made a stupid choice and on the dawn of the second day he opened the gates and led the men to meet the orcs in the field. Leaving only three thousand men to man the walls.

This battle, Esdras didn't see because it happened far away from the city walls, but he heard the reports of the soldiers on the battlements.

Eventually the army fell into a trap as the orcs almost succeeded in fooling them into a rout, a pincer attack from both sides isolated the army from reinforcements and the city wall, it also closed their retreat path.

Naturally, Belkazak did not have another army hidden away but that was in fact the effect of the five trolls that almost doomed the city on the second day.

The five trolls seemed to tower over the orcs, standing several five meters tall on average with broad shoulders and arms that dragged upon the ground. Their faces were distorted and unearthly, sharp and bloated, with wild, yellow eyes that glowed with an evil and unnatural light.

Their eerie presence caused the humans to tremble and shrink back in horror and dread, shouting out in panic with their beady black eyes wide in terror. The trolls had a dark, oppressive air around them, as if a cloud of death had surrounded them, and a chill ran up the human spines that they could feel even from a distance.

Because of the trolls ambushing the infantry after the cavalry charged at the orcs lines. The army's order collapsed even though the trolls couldn't have had killed more than a thousand men in that time, even then that was enough to destroy the moral of an army.

Fortunately the mages were able to open the path to the city using some extremely destructive magic. Often time mages were very careful in battles like these for fear of friendly fire which is why they were under strict order to hold back on big attacks. But in that situation they decided to ignore collateral damage and focus on retreating.

Thanks to their quick actions the loses were reduced to only half of the army. This was also probably due to the fact that mages didn't give a damn about mortals, as soon as the trolls showed up they were probably determined to return to the city walls.

There were also other attacks on different gates which he wasn't able to see but the lion gate was the main battlefield of this siege.

However, the biggest loss of of the Calvary which the main army wasn't able to back up as it collapsed, this left them to be isolated in the midst of the orcs. Resulting in total annihilation.

This was the end of the second day. On the third day the attack on the walls included the trolls and the orc shamns.
