The Imperial Army is waiting for the new dawn to arise as everyone is preparing for the upcoming battle. As right now the sky is covered in darkness as the full moon is shining overhead
In the North, they sat right across the river as they prepare for their assault. Normally they would be Alliance troops patrolling the border but today is a national holiday for the Alliance so there won't be any patrols until tomorrow
Ladislava sat next to Claude as the Wyvern Lords sharpen their axes alongside the Falcon Knights with their spears while Lysithea is practicing her dark magic "So your Claude Von Riegen...you look...different from what I expected," said Ladislava with a suspicious look on her face
Claude just smiles at Ladislava "I get that all the time," He starts to spin the arrow within his hand "Tell me Ladislava, do you hate me?" Claude asked
Ladislava shakes her head "Her Majesty placed great trust onto your shoulder, therefore if her majesty trust you then I will also trust you as well," said Ladislava
Claude smirks at Ladislava "Well then, just cover our back after all Lysithea is very deadly with her magic...heck she even managed to deal with the Death Knight himself," Claude smiles at her
Ladislava smiles back "That very impressive...I just have to see with my own eyes," Ladislava looked at the night sun for a moment "Everyone! Onto your mounts! The new Dawn is coming!" shouted Ladislava as the Wyvern Lords and Falcon Knights got back to their Wyverns/Pegasus. Claude and Lysithea got onto a Wyvern as Claude prepares his arrows "Everyone! Her Majesty is depending on us...we shall deal with these traitors who dare touch the Imperial Family with their villainess's hands, remember that we are not just fighting her majesty...we are fighting for our homes! If we don't succeed our homes will be destroyed by these traitors! Therefore we must fight with all of our hearts!
The Wyvern Lords and Falcon Knights cheered as they position themselves in the North above the river
In the West, Randolph and Dimitri sat across from each while the Heros, Swordmaster, Mortal Savant, Trueblades (Master version of Swordmaster), Warmasters, Sharpshooters (Master Class that can use Crossbows and Bows), War Masters, War Monk/Cleric, Bishop, Snipers, Gremory, Sentinels (Master Class that can only use Spears), Warriors, Grapplers, Warlocks, and Crossbowmen were examining their equipment
"Prince Dimitri, do you truly love her majesty?" Randolph asked as he sharpens his axe
Prince Dimitri slightly blush as he just nods "I truly do General Randolph, we even made our vows within the Goddess Tower," said Dimitri as he smiles
Randolph started to laugh a bit while patting Dimitri on the back "That nice! It like a dream coming true...if you two decide to marry our two great nations can be united and if so...I would gladly serve you alongside her majesty," said Randolph as he smiles
"That...a possibility," He looked up at the sky "The new dawn is coming...General Randolph tell everyone to get ready," Randolph nods "Dedue come on," Dimitri stood up
"Everyone! The new dawn is coming! Get into your positions!" shouted Randolph as the troops obeyed "This is our time to finish those traitorous monsters once and for all! We must not allow a single one to escape!"
In the South, Edelgard, Ferdinand, Petra, and Hubert sat in a mini circle while the Paladins, Great Knights, Valkyries, Bow Knights, Lady Knights (Uses Crossbows, Bows and Swords), Dark Knights, Holy Knights, Lancers, Cavaliers, Sword Cavaliers, Axe Cavaliers, and Troubadours. All of them are taming their mounts and checking on their equipment
"Your Majesty...thank you...thank you for sparing my father," said Ferdinand as he bowed in front of Edelgard
Edelgard nods "I already told you, Ferdinand, that I was going to keep my promise no matter what...as much as I hated your father for what he has done to me and my siblings," said Edelgard
"No promise, I just have to work hard to restore my houses honour and our good image to the common folks...that reminds me how long is this field trip?" Ferdinand looked up at Edelgard
"One and a half week," Edelgard replied as stared at the night sky, she stood up "Everyone the battle is about to begin! The new dawn is about to arise over the Empire!" shouted Edelgard as the soldiers started to mount up and get into their position alongside Hubert and Ferdinand. Ferdinand is in command of the Paladins while Hubert is commanding the Dark Knights
Petra will be acting as shock troops with a group of Assassins. Their mission is to diving deep in enemy lines and causing chaos as they advanced into the night skies while the rest of the mounted units wait. Edelgard stood over and watch the sky waiting for the sun to rise
At least a couple of long mins passed as she continued to stare at the night sky until she saw the sun rising in the night sky. Edelgard raised her axe and shouted "It time, Forward!" as thousands of thundering hooves raced across the fields towards the mountains while Edelgard lead the Imperial Guard in reverses
Inside the city of Shambhala, things appear to be normal as Thales and Chaos were plotting something until a Dark Mage burst in
"Lord Thales!" The Dark Mage appears to be out of breath even though he is wearing a mask
Thales frowned at the Dark Mage "This better be important to interrupt my meet with Chaos," said Thales
"It the Imperial Army! They're here!" shouted the Dark Mage as Thales just scoffs while shakes his head
"That Impossible...this location is kept secret for over thousands of years...you must be mistaken for them advancing towards the Alliance controlled Great Bridge of Myridddin," Thales frown
"No, sir! It true..." The Dark Mage got cut off by Chaos who came forward and silenced him with _ sword
"Sorry for that intercupt...now shall we continue?" Thales asked as Chaos just nods
In the North, Wyvern Lords were sent first to break up anything that could pose a threat to filers as they can easily take a hit. The Falcon Knights, on the other hand, handle anyone wielding magic. Ladislava got into the battle alongside her troops as Claude support her from the skies by sniping any of the mages that would pose a threat to Wyvern rider/lords. Lysithea just hangs on her dear life onto Claude
In the West, Randolph, Dimitri and Dedue lead the troops upon the mountains as they fought their way through waves of Black Mages, Assassins, Fighters and Mages. Once they found an entrance or created one by breaking through they started to storm in killing any TWSITD members even if they surrender
In the South, Edelgard watched as the Lady Knights advanced forward-firing their Crossbows before turning to the right/left after they fire their bolts into the enemy, the bows then take its place and fire its bows into the TWSITD ranks in the mountains before doing what the Lady Knights did as the Paladin charged forward with Ferdinand leading the charge personally as the Lady Knights turn around to cover the Paladins alongside the Bow Knights. The Paladins soon dismounted when they reached the mountainside and charged forward with the cover from the Lady Knights, Bow Knights, Dark Knights, Holy Knights and Valkyries
Dark Mages struggle to cast their magic as they are often pinned down as the other melee mount units dismounted to join in the fight with the Paladins
Edelgard watched as she kept the Lancers and the Imperial Guard in reserves as the Lancers are useless against the mountain. Hubert is also in the frontlines alongside Ferdinand as they burst into the entrances
"Time is not on our side... " She looked at the Imperial Guard "It time, Imperial Guard...I will be personally charging into the front lines...Lancers! Stay back and cut down any of those traitors who try to escape our justice." said Edelgard as she advanced on foot alongside the Imperial Guards while the Lancers stood back as ordered
"Lord Thales! There inside...the Imperial army is inside...they are killing everyone!" shouted another Dark Mage who has panic like a manner within his voice
Lord Thales looked surprised and shocked "Impossible...it can be...I check it out myself!" shouted Thales as Chaos just silently follow
They soon heard the sound of battle as TWSITD members struggle to form a defensive line against the Imperial army as the element of surprise, shock and haste allowed them to push very deep into their hidden city
Thales eyes when wide "It can't be...my father in law wouldn't dare to betray me nor knows this location...how?" Thales asked as he looks around
"It looks like you have failed Thales," said Chaos as Thales turns around "It funny isn't it...that first Dark Mage was correct and that the Imperial army has managed to track your hideout,"
Thales scoffed at Chaos "The plan doesn't change...I just have to escape...Chaos guard the front throne room, if I die here...all of our plans would go up in flames," said Thales as he makes his way towards the throne room with Chaos following him behind
"Lord Thales...I will make sure that they shall not pass," said Chao as Thales enter the throne room while Chaos positions _ at the entrance after sealing the door. Chaos summoned a group of Dark master (They have the basic skill set) around him
The Imperial army element of speed and shock allowed them to deal massive damage to TWSITD as the Lords soon regroup at the center after heavy fighting. Meanwhile, Randolph and Ladislava split off to cover more ground
"I got admit...the city does look pretty ancient," said Claude as he fires an arrow at a Dark Mage
Lysithea was shaking as she causes Dark Spike onto an Assassin
"Claude! It looks like you succeed on your front," said Dimitri who is covered in blood alongside his spear
Dedue followed behind with his Axe covered in blood and his heavy shield greatly damaged
"Yea, we left some reserves of filers in the air just in case if they try to escape," Claude pulls out an arrow and fires it at another Mage hitting him in the neck
"Very good, now...let continue," Dimitri charged forward stabbing an enemy Assassin in the chest before pulling it out with his hand and throwing his body onto a mage then he finished the mage off by stabbing him in the chest with his spear
"I need assistance...anyone!" shouted a voice as they all turned their heads toward the direction of the voice
"That...that Petra!" Claude quickly ran towards the direction "Petra!" shouted Claude as he fires another arrow at another Dark Mage in the head
"Claude wai...dam it!" Lysithea frowned "Hey Prince...can you help me out?" Lysithea asked
"Of course...let go," said Dimitri as they follow Claude
Edelgard advanced through one of the entrances with the Imperial Guard behind her as they pushed through against TWSITD without sparing a single one of them, even if they surrendered
Edelgard slammed her Greataxe right into an Assassin then pulls it out "Advance! We must not a single one of them escape!" shouted Edelgard
"I need assistance...anyone!" shouted a voice as Edelgard quickly responded
"That Petra...hold on, we are coming!" Edelgard quickly moved forward alongside the Imperial Guard as they push aside the enemy dark mages, assassins and mages
Petra is fighting for her dear life right in front of the door as she saw a man enter but is guarded by a figure named Chaos whom she struggles against, even with the sword Gram within her hand. The Imperial Assassin is also struggling with the Dark Masters as they both clash
She cried for help as she got slashed by Chaos in her left underarm which isn't too deep. She holds Gram right in front of her as Petra continued to fight against Chaos
Petra attempt to swing high, low or anything but Chaos just dodged all of them as if it knows all of her moves just by sight as Chaos easily counters back hitting her no matter what she tries to do. Petra soon Gram got knocked away by Chaos sword as she got kicked into a wall
"Gah!" Cried Petra as the top of her head bleeds, both of her arms are covered in scars alongside both of her legs and her leather armour was torn. Chaos raised its sword above Petra's head as she pats out of breath
"You were a worthy opponent," said Chaos who moved its sword away from Petra and instead turns its head to face Claude who just came in "As expected...Claude Von Riegen,"
"Well, it looks like we meet again Chaos!" said Claude as he twists his arrow within his hand
The Dark Master soon dealt with the Imperial Assassins and turned towards Claude as Lysithea, Dimitri and Dedue have arrived
Dimitri soon stopped right beside Claude "It can be...it him/her!" Dimitri tighten his spear
"Hey, Dimitri, Lysithea cover me! Petra is wounded!" shouted Claude who point out wounded Petra in which Dimitri nods
"Very well Claude, Dedue protect Claude as if you would protect me...I handle Chaos," said Dimitri as he charges at Chaos
"Yes your Highness," Dedue replied as both Claude and Dedue reached over Petra while Lysithea fired her Dark Spikes at the Dark Masters who easily dodged it
Lysithea frowned as she prepares another spell
"Hey...Petra...wake up!" Claude stared at Petra as she slowly stares at Claude
"Claude? Forgiv...forgive me for my failures..." cried out Petra as she cries in pain
"No worries...just hold on to my shoulders," said Claude as he picks up Petra alongside her sword before moving back
A Dark Master attempt to strike at Claude but Dedue blocked the Dark master by using his large shield as the Dark master strikes against it with its sword
Dedue took no damage as he counters back his Battle Axe but the Dark Master easily dodged it before striking once more against his shield
Edelgard and the Imperial Guard have arrived from one of the hallways as she just stares at Chaos and Dimitri who are both locked into a duel then looked Petra who is wounded as she is being carried by the shoulders, Claude. The Dark Masters that aren't occupy turned towards Edelgard and the Imperial Guards. Don't interrupt the due! Focus on the Dark Masters!" shouted Edelgard as the Imperial Guards obeyed as they charge into combat against the Dark Masters. She points at a pair of Holy Knights "You two with me!" The Holy Knights nod as Edelgard fights her way towards Claude and Petra
A Dark Masters landed a bow against Edelgard but she quickly countered back heavily with her Great Axe landing a direct hit in the Chest making it disappear into thin air. The Holy Knight was about to heal her but she quickly shook her head "Heal her..." Point at Petra "It only a starch," said Edelgard in a calm like manner
The Holy Knight hesitated but obeyed as they make their way towards Petra and started to healing her as Edelgard follows behind them both
Petra stared at Edelgard "I...I beg for...forgiveness...your majesty...I failed," Petra cried in pain while the Holy Knights are healing her
Edelgard shakes her head "No Petra...you did very best and you managed to cause a lot of chaos behind enemy lines...you did your job well...now just let them heal you," said Edelgard as she turns toward Dimitri and Chaos who are still locked in a duel as the Dark Masters are slowly being defeated by the Imperial Guard as Dedue is also getting healed by one of the Holy Knights who got hit hard by one of the Dark Masters
Dimitri is covered in blood but none of it is his as he attempts to strike at Chaos but it appears that Chaos is focused on dodging and barely attacks even if Dimitri left himself opened during a few of his attacks. Soon Dimitri stopped and stared at Chaos
"Why...why aren't you attacking! Answer me!" shouted Dimitri as his face is full of fury
Chaos just replied with silenced as it turns towards Edelgard, then at Claude and Petra alongside Lysithea and finally at Dedue "My Mission is done...you fought well...we shall meet again for the final time," said Chaos as it raised its hand into the roof as it starts to warp away
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Dimitri as he quickly dashes towards Chaos but it was too late as Chaos warped _ away "Dam it!" cried out Dimitri as slams his fist onto the ground
Edelgard moved closer "That a shame...but for now, we must not let our uncle make his getaway...he must be killed," said Edelgard as she pats Dimitri on the back
Claude let Petra be healed by the Holy Knights while he meets up with the other two Lords "Well Edelgard...thanks for the save," said Claude
They soon heard a door being unlocked as they turned towards the door
Edelgard touched her hand onto the door "My Uncle must be in here...let pray that he didn't gateway," Edelgard pushed against it as Dimitri assisted her
The door slowly moved open as they continued to push and inside was Thales himself wearing a disguise of Lord Arundel alongside a group of Dark Mages who appears to be frustrated
"It hopeless my lord...they sealed all of our exits...even all of our secret exist and the Imperial army has secured all of our Javelin of Lights," said the Dark Mage as they turned around to face Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude and the Imperial Guard "Im..Impossible Lord Choas was defeated?"
"Hello Uncle...it been a while," said Edelgard as she stepped forward alongside Dimitri and Claude
Thales is speechless as his face signals frustration "So...my Neice...you were the one that betrayed me," said Thales as he tries to remain calm
Edelgard shakes his head "I didn't betray you...I never believed in you from the very beginning nor do I have any plans allying myself with the same monsters that killed my siblings!" Edelgard shouted as her face turns into anger
Thales turned towards Dimitri as his face dropped
"Hello Uncle, it seems like your plan has failed," said Dimitri as he tightens his spear as Edelgard moved forward while the Imperial Guards pulled their Crossbows and aimed at the Dark Mages
"I waited for over ten years to avenge my family...and now Uncle...by the Orders of the Adrestian Emperor Edelgard Von Hresvelg...I hear by sentenced Volkhard Von Arundel to death for Murder, conspiracy against the Empire and the biggest crime of all..." Edelgard stared at her Uncle with a straight face "Treason against the Imperial Royal Family, what do you have to say in your defence Uncle?" Edelgard frowns
Thales face just completely dropped "You? Emperor...don't me laugh my dear Neice...you are the perfect image that we moulded into you, but it appears that you have betrayed me...therefore...I just have to kill you!" shouted Thales as he cast Death onto Edelgard
The spell landed as Edelgard got blasted by the full spell of Death while Dimitri and Claude got blown back, Edelgard kneeled onto the ground but only for a moment before she quickly dashed towards her uncle while her axe is dragging behind her in which she unleashed a powerful blow of fury and vengeance as her Greataxe tore into Thales like a hot knife through butter his body was split in half. The Imperial Guards unleash their crossbows into the Dark Mages killing them without any problems
Edelgard stood over her uncle's sliced body. Her face is filled with happiness "...father...brother...sister...you been...avenged," muttered Edelgard as she fell onto the ground while she heard loud shouting behind her as she slowly closes her eyes
