The Inquisition Army arrived at the gates of Border Town an hour later. They were led by Bishop Marcus, who sat on a white horse, looking down at Roland with hatred in his eyes.
"Surrender now, Roland," Bishop Marcus shouted. "Or I will burn this town to the ground."
Roland looked up at Bishop Marcus, his eyes cold. "I will not surrender. You are the ones who will be defeated today."
Bishop Marcus laughed. "You think you can defeat me? You think your ragtag army can stand against the power of the Church?"
Roland smiled. "We will see."
Bishop Marcus raised his hand, and the Inquisition Army began to attack. They fired their magical cannon at the walls of Border Town, but the sorceresses' barrier of magic protected the town.
"Fire back," Roland shouted.
His soldiers fired their magical cannon at the Inquisition Army, hitting several of their soldiers.
The battle began in earnest. The Inquisition Army attacked with swords and spears, but Roland's men were ready. They fought back with courage and determination, their swords flashing in the sunlight.
Anna and the other sorceresses used their magic to great effect. They created walls of fire to block the Inquisition Army's advance, summoned lightning to strike their soldiers, and healed the wounded.
Roland fought alongside his men, his sword flashing in the sunlight. He killed several Inquisition soldiers, his eyes filled with determination.
The battle lasted for hours. The Inquisition Army attacked with ferocity, but Roland's men held their ground. They fought with courage and determination, and slowly, the Inquisition Army began to retreat.
Bishop Marcus looked at his retreating army, his eyes filled with anger. "We will be back, Roland," he shouted. "I will destroy you and your sorceresses."
Roland smiled. "I will be waiting."
The Inquisition Army retreated, and the people of Border Town cheered. They had won the second battle.
Roland stood in the town square, looking at the people of Border Town. They had fought bravely, and they had won.
"We have won a great victory," Roland said. "But the war is not over. The Church will return, and we will have to fight again."
The people cheered. "We will fight with you, my lord!"
Roland smiled. "Thank you. Together, we will build a better world."
