Victory in Nagakonai as became a major morale booster for the Alliance in Eostia while they continue to combat the Black Dogs and their Allies.
Silver Foxes, Knights of Iris and Blood after capturing the second capital of Nagakonai, Iwakumo.
They rested their forces before preparing for the siege of the main capital of Nagakonai.
Aegeus' still had some healing pains after his fight against Saiho, 'He's part Dragon?' Aegeus wondered on Saiho, Aegeus is half God but Saiho is half Dragon and he nearly bested Aegeus.
"How are your wounds holding up?" Alicia asked to which Aegeus let out a soft moan "Still hurts" She sighed then gave a firm pat on his chest.
"Don't scare me like that" She says to which Aegeus nodded in a understanding matter. Aegeus winched from the pat then let out a small chuckle.
"I'm sorry Alicia" He says.
The Alliance along with the Silver Foxes in Nagakonai have became more successful as they begin approaching the main capital.
Enemy resistance became less fierce as numerous Ashigaru Samurai begin surrendering while more loyaltry to continue the fight to no avail.
The Kjolrians attacked the capital handling the Remnants while the Alliance and the Silver Foxes were able take parts of the city.
"Their barely fighting back" Aegeus noted to which Alicia sheath her sword "Prehaps they realize they can't win" She says.
One of the Silver Foxes ran over to Aegeus saluting "Sir we have captured at least the thirty Samurai only a few have fought back"
Aegeus became more confused as he itched his blue marking "Okay...uh make sure any Civilians are rounded up and moved to a safer location" He says as the Fox saluted and ran off.
Prim stepped over holding her hands together as she spoke "Their all tired of fighting" She says as Aegeus hummed in agreement.
As the Alliance begin occupying parts of the City as Ashigaru and other Samurai barely fought back. As it's revealed their lacking food, medicine and lack of morale.
Aegeus kneeled to one of the Ashigaru "Are you okay?" He asked to which the Ashigaru looked at him confused and spoke in a language Aegeus isn't familiar with so a Translator came over.
"He said their forces have been routed by the Kjolrians have been hitting their Capital for weeks and the people begin to protest to the point Lord Nikamura had the protests be brutally suppressed however the Ashigaru begin rebelling as well"
"They begin fighting among themselves" Alicia said as she looked over at Civilians being treated and Ashigaru dropping their weapons and surrendering.
Elsewhere Ivar huffed as his fur armor as soaked in blood as he shoulder his axe walking up to Aegeus. "What now?" Aegeus pointed up to the castle.
"We take the castle and we go home" He says as Ivar sneered at the Castle. "Good..." Ivar says.
In the castle the walls were soaked red and had slash markings with bodies of Samurai guards. The sound of fighting was closer as Alicia, Aegeus and Ivar got their weapons ready.
Aegeus slide the door open fast as they all run inside to find Saiho holding his sword with it dripping red. He looks over his shoulder to them then cracks a smirk.
"Hello" He says then reveals the head of Nakimura, Aegeus cringed at the sight of the severed head.
Alicia held Prim behind her while Ivar looked on to be unfazed. "Soo how s it going?" Saiho asked.
"You killed him?" Aegeus asked, "Well yeah I mean come on I start a small rebellion to distract him before killing him...Funny he deserved it like my old man" Saiho says sheathing his blade.
"Oh yeah things back in Eostia are getting heated some guy I think Kjolrian and a Orge working with Volt so the Alliance putting up good resistance buuuut...Eh you'll find out" Saiho walks past them.
"Oh Aegeus-Kun get stronger I hate to actually kill you" Saiho says before dodging a strike from Aegeus. Saiho kicked Aegeus where his wound is causing him to winced even harder.
"Trust me with that wound you don't want to fight me" Saiho says walking away.
The War over in Nagakonai has ended with the Alliance achieved major victory as Volt has lost another Ally.
The Alliance return home however Aegeus said he's heading to Feoh to visit some family.
Feoh, Eostia
Aegeus brought his horse to the stable with Taylor, Alicia and Prim following. Aegeus smiled as he spoke "Good to see home again"
"I can agree" Taylor patted his shoulder, Aegeus walked to the church that he and Taylor where raised in as he knocked on the door.
After a moment a Nun wearing glasses and scarlet hair stepped out, "H-Hi Sister..." Aegeus said the Nun was surprised as tears filled her eyes as she hugged onto Aegeus tightly.
Once she noticed Taylor she embraced him as well.
"Aegeus! Taylor!" More members of the church stepped out embracing them. "It's been awhile" Aegeus itched his marking while Taylor was laughing.
"Welcome home my sons" The Priest said as he held their shoulders before hugging them.
The feeling of coming home after being away for so long felt like a dream to them. "You've grown so much" One of the Sisters said.
"Thank you Sister Ashley" Aegeus says with a smile while one of the other Sisters held his arm.
"I do apologize for being gone for so long...But I decided to come see you all again" Aegeus says, suddenly a familiar voice caught Aegeus hearing.
The voice was of someone with a Highland tongue, Aegeus stood up to find a Highland Minotaur carrying a basket of fruits and vegetables.
"Oh? what do we have here?" He says moving hair from eyes to which Aegeus begin grinning. "Buck!" Aegeus hugged the Highland Minotaur who laughed "Aegeus I've haven't seen you in forever" Feeling with extreme joy of meeting Buck again, Aegeus begin lifting him up in the hug.
"Ho ho easy there laddie" He says laughing.
"When I was still young Buck and Taylor were my brothers" Aegeus begin to explain, "Everyday we play together and form a bond til one day we decided to become Blood brothers"
"Blood brothers?" Alicia asked, "Well you see it's a bond stronger then friendship Me lady, we took a bit of a cut to our hands and held together" Buck said.
"Aye.." Taylor said.
"Eventually Taylor left to become a Knight, Buck went off to find what can someone like him a Minotaur can do and me well you already know" Aegeus says sheepishly.
"Aye I be very glad to see you two again" Buck said, "It's an honor to meet you Sir Buck" Prim smiled.
"The Honor is all mine My Lady, my real name is Highland but it doesn't roll of the tongue so I went by Buck" He says smiling then begin to pet Herakles "Ah there's a good boy" He says while Herakles wagged his tail.
"Come one everyone let's go have dinner" Aegeus said, "Aye I got plenty to make great stew" Buck replied.
"Haven't had you stew in years Buck" Aegeus said laughing as he held Prim and Alicia hands. "So Aegeus you close with these Princesses yes?" Buck asked.
"Well it's something like that" He says embarrassed, "Just having a laugh laddie"
