Chapter 36: Aid for Kobold Village

The thirty one hundred Imperials were taken by surprise by Hyzin's forces. Only one thousand Imperials were able to retreat into the forest. Hyzin's forces hurried onward for Arenaen eager to aid Kyu's forces. When Chagrin had come across Hyzin's forces, he had bolted into the forest before he was seen.

The Imperials charged unknowingly towards Kobold Village, south of Arenaen. As Hyzin was finishing up the monsters at Arenaen, Chagrin rejoined his Imperials. Then the warlord made plans to head straight for the Kobold Village.

Kyu was asleep in his room when the message came. Three hours had passed since the Defense of Arenaen. Hyzin was speaking with Ameth. "Where did all the support come from?"

Hyzin grinned. "It was my idea to seek out the other Sindar cities to the north. There were two: Veviin and Lorias. Each agreed to send 1200 Knights to aid the Savior. As soon as they arrived we marched full force for Arenaen." Then he remembered something. "Arenaen and Naiyth are allies right?"

Ameth nodded. "Always."

"Well, Gaeloth and Roenfloer were stolen. Lyreth and Arnwyn were going to visit Clearwater Village when a large bandit group attacked. Lyreth and Arnwyn are safe, but their guards were killed and their blades were taken." That was when the messenger entered.

He was a large kobold in leather armor with spiked boxing gloves. He knelt before Hyzin and Ameth. "I am Biter, Clawer's son, of Kobold Village. I came to request aid for my village. Imperials attacked and we had heard that the Allied Army was here in Arenaen."

Hyzin stood up. "I guess it's time for my men to move out." He then followed Biter out to the city where Hyzin gathered his 2400 Knights.

In half an hour, Hyzin, Kite, and Biter's forces moved out. They left through the southern gate and continued on a downhill road.

At sundown, they reached the rather-large Kobold Village. Flames and smoke rose from the buildings, and Imperials and Kobolds fought in the streets. Hyzin gave the order and the knights charged.
