Aegeus stretched his arms letting out a yawn after awaking from his sleep. On his left side was Alicia as she slept and on his right was Prim also sleeping.

Popping his neck as he rubbed his eyes, it's the next day after taking the Square of Iwakumo.

Silver Foxes, Knights of Iris, Ansur Mercenaries, Knights of Blood and Kjolrians have linked up. War in Nagakonai was coming to close and they'll be able to turn to Eostia and face the Black Dogs again.

Aegeus got up from the bed pulling up his pants then made sure both Alicia and Prim were still covered by the sheets as they rested. "Prim is very cute but seems to very..." Aegeus simply blushed at the moment as he dressed up.

Stepping out as the Alliance were able to heal their wounds and awaited for further orders to advance.

"Hey O'Brian" "Yeah?" Two Foxes spoke to each other, "Have you ever wonder why it's called Iwakumo? Cause some of the Samurai call it Kheiji..."

"From what I learned the city is called Iwakumo but when that Taigo guy took over he renamed it Kheiji" They said then noticed Aegeus as they saluted.

"Boss, we're prepared for our advancement onto the Castle Sir" "Good, I take it Taylor went up ahead?" Aegeus asked.

"Yes Sir, the Knights of Blood began their advancement with Lady Maia, couple of Kjolrians are awaiting for Queen Alya's command as well"

'So Taylor and Maia went up ahead, I hope they stay safe" Aegeus thought to himself.

"Hey Boss" Eza said as she hopped over, "Eza good to see you" He smiled at the Goblin, "How are things?"

"Great actually! Momo and I found some Cherry Blossom Trees and collected some of their fruits" Eza handed a fruit which Aegeus accepted.

"Thank you Eza" He says then pats her head as Eza begin giggling with her green cheeks turning red.


Alicia and Prim awoken as they yawn and rubbed their eyes. They noticed Aegeus wasn't in bed with them this time so they gotten dress and stepped out.

The two Princesses found Aegeus eating some fruit with Eza while the children of Iwakumo played with Herakles.

They stepped over as Aegeus smiled at them, "Good to see your both awake"

Eza begin laughing as she knew, "Ahhh okay I'm surprise you didn't sleep in Boss" Aegeus looked at the little Goblin.

Once they Alliance was set up they begin their march onto the Castle. A few minor skirmishes between The Samurai and Alliance but nothing halted the progress.

As they reached the Castle as the Ashigaru and Samurai prepared for their final defence while others ran for the main capital.

Knights of Blood and Ansur Mercenaries battled the Ashigaru, Alicia ordered her Knights to flank the Ashigaru while Silver Foxes went for a frontal assault lead by Thokk and a few Beastkin.

Thokk easily crushed various Samurai Warriors in his way barely giving him a fight. Eza jumped up as she slammed her sword down cutting a much larger Samurai in half.

Aegeus motion his hand for Archers to be on the roofs and support the Advancement. 'I haven't seen Ivar or any Kjolrians lately maybe their dealing with another attack?' Aegeus thought as he motion for Momo, Eza and Rhoz follow him.

"Sir Aegeus? Rhoz looked to him, "Thokk can lead the hardline attack we'll get behind the doors allowing our forces to press in" He says.

"A sneak attack? heh nice" Momo says, "Master Mason said to always attack the enemy's blindside" Rhoz replied. The group went out to sneak inside.

Alicia took notice and order one of her Lieutenants to take charge as she and Prim followed Aegeus.

"Aegeus what are you planning?" She asked, "Simple we sneak inside and open the doors for our Allies" He says kneeling down then boost Rhoz up.

Rhoz ran up the walls before grabbing wooden ledge to pull himself up. Next Momo gain a boost from Aegeus as she grabbed the ledge and used her legs to hold herself upside down.

Aegeus held Eza and tossed her up as Momo easily caught her and put her inside with Rhoz. "Okay Prim if your scared just close your eyes" Aegeus says as she nodded then Aegeus gave her a lift.

Momo caught her then Rhoz helped her inside, Aegeus looked at Alicia who looked at him.

"Aegeus don't you-KYAAA!!!" She screamed as Aegeus tossed her up which Momo caught her then Rhoz pulled her inside.

"Aegeus! you could of gave me a heart attack!" She says steaming which Aegeus snickers.

"What? it worked" He shrugged, now he needs to get up there so he ran back as he begin to breath deeply then pick up his four legged companion Herakles.

Aegeus ran as his legs begin to Morph into his Nyx's Wrath. His speed was far greater then he leaped up grabbing the ledge surprising everyone.

First he put Herakles inside then pulled himself inside. "Okay we did it" He says cheerful then looked at everyone staring at him.

"What?" He asked.


Ivar's wounds were minor as he and Queen Alya cut through each Ashigaru. They were able to sneak into the Castle grounds before the sun even risen.

Ivar was happy to see Aegeus again but he couldn't say it yet. The Kjolrians were combating minor Ashigaru which were few in numbers but they also faced highly experienced Samurai.

Their armor had a blend of Gold and Black as their weapons vary from Katana to Yari Spears, Naginata and other weapons.

They were able to fight them off but one Samurai leading them named Taijin, all they had to do was open the doors so more of their Eostian and Kjolrians brethren may join them into the fray.

"Keep fighting!" Ivar shouted as he swung into a Orochi ripping his axe out drawing blood and spilling it.

Alya let out a battle cry as she chopped and hacked through the very few Ashigaru Samurai.

Luckily the Samurai were able to be pushed back as they begin to fall back just as Aegeus and the others arrived.

Aegeus and Ivar looked at their with grins of joy seeing each other again. "Momo can you and Rhoz get the gates open?"

"On it" Momo says as her and Rhoz ran to open the gates.

Before Aegeus and Ivar could speak to each other, more of the Samurai appeared being lead by Taijin.

"I am Taijin Nakimura, you are outnumbered surrender and you'll be treated fairly" He says before drawing his sword.

"Resist and face the consequences"

Aegeus ready himself while Alya glared at Taijin with Ivar as the Kjolrians prepare for battle.

Alicia held her sword as she kept Prim behind her.

Alya raised her sword up and shouted "Valhalla!" Then Ivar and the Kjolrians shouted with their Queen.

"Valhalla!" They shouted.

Aegeus nudged Ivar gently and with a smile he said "It was great to see you again Ivar"

"Valhalla my friend" He says.


Outside of the Gate the Alliance awaited, Taylor cleaned his blade while Maia took a drink offering to Taylor who decline.

Suddenly the doors open to which they organize their forces and ran inside to assist their allies.

The Alliance began their attack on the Castle of Iwakumo.

Saiho watched as his second Uncle Taijin ordered his remaining forces to combat the Alliance.

He begin to drink some tea then begin grinning, "There he is...Cant wait to see his strength heh Aegeus you better not bore me" Saiho begin laughing as he walked back inside.

Saiho grabbed his Katana and Yari Spear walking down in his Kimono robes as he finished pulling his silver hair into ponytail to hold his hair back.

"I'll see if some of their warriors can give me a warm up, the Dragon of Iwakumo has awaken" Saiho says pushing the doors open as he walked down with a smirk.

Saiho stepped down as he slashed down the first Kjolrian then used his Yari to stab and impale a member of the Knights of Blood.

"Heh..Such a interesting a great feeling"
