Aegeus stood firm while Ivar continue to edge the Ashigaru and Samurai of Nagakonai while Taylor simply glared.

The Nagakonai Samurai still refuse to move mostly out of fear. Alya watched as she came leading the Kjolrians, she hissed at the Samurai then drew her sword and let out a battlecry.

The Kjolrians rush at the Nagakonai Samurai with some backing up but most of the Ashigaru and a few experience Samurai counter charged. Aegeus watched but kept his shield up not only defending himself but Ivar as well.

Alicia motion for her Knights to follow her and Maia to join the battle.

Nagakonai Samurai and Alliance clashed in the heart of Iwakumo. Kjolrian Raiders tossed Flasks filled of flame liquid as it covered a few of the Ashigaru lighting them aflame.

They screamed and danced before dropping to the stone streets. Taylor swung his long sword cutting open a Ashigaru then locked blades against a Kenshi.

Taylor slide the blade to the hilt of his Longsword and elbowed the Kenshi knocking him back allowing Taylor to slash down shoulder to hip.

Alicia and Maia attacked two Ashigaru one wielding Naginata and the other wielding a Yari spear.

Alicia moved to avoid the Yari spear using her own agility to her advantage but one part of the Yari cut her arm. Alicia cringed from the cut but pressed on slashing the Ashigaru's throat killing him instantly.

Maia using her duel swords to catch the Naginata trapping it while the Wielder tried taking her weapon back.

"So much for your weapon Jackass!" She says kicking the Ashigaru back then in a X motion slashes down the Ashigaru.


Aegeus kept any Samurai or Ashigaru away from Ivar who was still injured, Aegeus shorten his spear back into a Javelin and used it like a Short sword.

Thanks to Hephaestus' blacksmithing his Weapon was stronger and felt easier to wield while his Shield felt lighter yet strong and more durability.

Dodging a Yari spear then Aegeus stabbed his Javelin into the Ashigaru then kicked them off.

Aegeus spun around blocking a Iron Club and at the corner of his eye he saw Ashigaru Archers running to get into position.

"Malak! Take your forces and stopped those Archers!" Aegeus ordered, The Half Orc looked at the Ashigaru Archers "On it!" He says.

Malak ordered one of his Ologs to rush towards the Archers position.

The Olog roared then ran through the crowd of Samurai and Ashigaru before slamming it's entire body into the tower bringing it down.

Rhoz ran onto the roofs then jumped off slamming his feet onto the back of an Orochi the impact breaking the spin and killing the Orochi. Rhoz dashed through the groups of Samurai to reach Aegeus.

"Master Aegeus, I found a exposed area of the city we can use our Skirmishers to flank" He says, "Good finding Rhoz, I want Momo, Eza and Thokk to take the flank and Rhoz lead our Mages to the back so they can use any support Spells"

Rhoz nodded then zipped off on foot.

Thokk licked his maw tasting the blood while he roared in excitement after bashing more Samurai to death. The feel of taste and taste of not only the enemy's but his own blood was exciting.

He looked at Aegeus who was holding his own if not holding back against the Enemy, Thokk wanted a strong opponent which is why he previously joined the Black Dogs and met Aegeus now Aegeus commands him.

Thokk grinned again then laughed as he continue his endless slaughter.

While the Alliance made great progress it was slowed down as the Resistance was still strong. Momo kicked off the walls as she ran on the roof with Eza clinging to her.

Momo flipped over and landed while Eza leaped off swinging her blade down splitting a Samurai who was leading a small group of Ashigaru.

They watch in shock after their Commander was killed, Eza huffed shouldering her blade despite her size of being a Goblin she smirked.

"What? never seen a Goblin?" She says.

The Ashigaru begin to retreat and flee while Eza begin laughing while Momo joined her on the laughter.


After the fighting, the Alliance was able to take the heart of Iwakumo. Those were wounded were taken by the Healers.

Aegeus ate some bread while watching the healers work on Ivar who luckily suffered minor injuries, he was happy to see again Aegeus sighed reach down petting his dog.

Alicia walked over sitting to Aegeus, at first Aegeus didn't notice her then Alicia scooter closer where her hand barely touched his.

"Hm? Oh Alicia!" He smiled at her, Alicia blushed when Aegeus smiled. His kind personality was something that stuck with him when they were kids.

"Everything okay?" He asked, "Oh yes I'm fine...Aegeus w-when you were battling Armin you mention him not wanting him around your kids" She says to which Aegeus scratched himself.

"Oh yeah heat of the moment" He says, "W-Well I was wondering if you wanted kids" She says.

Aegeus looked at her tilting his head, he still remembers being the one taking Alicia's purity not just her but Prim's as well.

"Well yeah I do...I mean at least I think I do" Aegeus says. Alicia face turned deeper red from this as she imagine becoming a mother with Aegeus just the thought of it makes her heart beat fast.

Especially the moment where she shared Aegeus with Prim, no doubt they love him and he loves them but still becoming a Mother burned Alicia's cheeks with embarrassment but also happiness.

"Hey love birds" Maia says which the two looked at Maia. "Hey Maia" Aegeus smiled which Maia stepped over joining them.

"Hope I'm not interrupting" She says placing one leg over the other. "Not at all" He says.

Maia looked at Alicia who was sizzling from her blush to which she smirked and begin to drink.

"You two seem close to each other" She says, "That's because we've been friends for a long time actually she was my first friend so yeah we're close"

"Close as in lovers?~" Maia asked which this time Aegeus was taken back. "I-I uh...I mean we have...I..." Aegeus couldn't think so he begin muttering in his Greek language again.

Maia couldn't understand him by figured she got him good.

"Boss! we have secured all of the town square just right now is the Castle of Iwakumo" One Fox said, "Good! good..." Aegeus says while Maia laughs at Aegeus and Alicia.


At the castle of Iwakumo, a silver haired man who was basically Aegeus' age sat on the balcony holding a Yari spear and a Katana on his hip.

He watched smoke from the City then he bite into a fruit, "Lord Saiho we-" A Vassal tried to speak.

"I know Nikito, I know but I don't really care" He begin laughing as he grinned. "This Aegeus guy seems to be strong...I can feel his chakra from here...he's like me heh...I want to see what he can do" Saiho stepped off the ledge and walked back inside.

"Send a letter to my Uncle and tell him I'll be personally defend my castle with my Elite oh yes!" He stopped himself.

"Tell my other uncle Taijin that this Aegeus fellow is mine" Saiho let out a laughed then itched a scar on his face.
