The Kingdom of Ansur; a Kingdom of Mercenaries, Warriors, Those who seek Fortune and those who seek Power. The Origins of the Kingdom are rather unknown but it's said it was besieged by The Dark Queen's forces but the siege was lifted by the once Heroic Black Dogs.
Maia once a member of the Black Dogs took it upon herself to lead the people of Ansur to greatness, Maia took the title of Queen of Mercenaries and Ansur was given to her by Celestine.
Ever since the Rebellion Maia was shocked that Volt would betray everything he stood for; She even believed he had to be mind controlled somehow but she had to except the undoubtable truth.
Volt and everyone in the Black Dogs are traitors to Eostia, there was no convincing Volt back to the man he once was, ever since Aegeus came and took command of the Silver Foxes.
Hope came back to Eostia and to all those who previously lost hope.
Maia looked out of her window from her room, it was said the Black Dogs wanted to make a truce but it was all a lie. The Black Dogs began their siege of Ansur, parts of the city was on fire.
Any Mercenaries who were loyal to Maia or remained Neutral joined in the defence of Ansur.
"Lady Maia!" One of her loyal Bodyguards the Crimson Wolves arrived to her bedroom. The Crimson Wolves are not only Maia's Bodyguards but also her main Mercenary group ever since she left the Black Dogs.
The Crimson Wolves and the Black Dogs had a lot of similarities; The Black Dogs, Crimson Wolves and Silver Foxes each group had their own unique quirks to them.
The Black Dogs for their superior numbers, Silver Foxes for being filled with many races and the Crimson Wolves being consider the most Elite and highly Experienced Warriors of Eos.
Maia turned to look at her Bodyguard as she spoke "Susan, what's wrong?" She asked. "My Lady I have good news The Knights of Blood have arrived"
Sighing in relief as Maia went to her bed as she grabbed her twin blades strapping them to her hips as she walked out with her Crimson Wolf Susan.
Inside Ansur, The Black Dogs have occupied a few areas of Ansur, a small band of Silver Foxes lead by Maxon were stationed in Ansur in case of an attack.
Maxon and the Silver Foxes fought near the Town Center against the Black Dogs. Maxon stuck her rapier into the throat of one of the Mercenaries before drawing her pistol as bullet broke into the skull of a Demon Collaborator of the Black Dogs.
Eza jumped from Momo back as she slammed her blade down chopping an enemy in half while Momo and Rhoz begin leading small groups to flank their enemies.
"Maxon, most of the enemy forces are Herman's Kjolrians and Ogres belonging to Brap'korg, most likely Volt is having them to wear us out...Orders?" One of the Silver Foxes asked.
Biting her lip as she said "Have Malak and his Orcs reinforce the walls and get the wounded to the Healers" Maxon ordered.
Once Orders were sent Maxon fixed her bard hat as she ran as fast as her feet can move her. Homes were burning, shouts of war filled the air.
It was nothing but pure chaos.
Elsewhere
Taylor huffed once his sword ripped through a Rogue Kjolrian, Taylor spun around avoiding an attack slashing his next opponent in half causing them to fall.
"Archers! Fire Volley!" Taylor shouted; Arrows flew in the air pelleting the invaders.
Black Dog, Kjolrian, Orge anything was nailed by the arrows by the Knight's of Blood. "I hope Aegeus is okay..." He muttered then begin catch his breath.
Suddenly Taylor felt something tackle him, he twisted his body to face his attacker which was an enraged Kjolrian. Taylor dropped his sword the moment his back touched the hard ground.
Taylor clenched his fist slamming into the Kjolrian jaw who retorted with a crushing elbow to his temple. Blood trinkled down his head as Taylor stuck his thumbs into the Kjolrian eyes forcing him to let up while cringing in pain.
Once Taylor gained the advantage, Taylor held a rock and used it to bash the Kjolrian head open. Blood gushed on the rock, Taylor's clothing, gauntlet and the ground.
Once he was satisfied with his doing, Taylor grabbed his sword with his Knights gathering around him.
"LISTEN UP! VOLT AND HIS LACKEYS OUTNUMBERED US BUT WE KNOW VOLT'S BEST MEN ARE DEAD! SO HE USES KJOLRIAN AND OGRES TO SLOW US DOWN!!! LET US GIVE THEM A TASTE OF OUR STEEL!!!" Taylor raised his sword up "TIL THE LAST DROP OF OUR BLOOD WILL DROWN THEM"
Taylor and his Knights let out their war cries and begin charging at the advancing attackers.
Spearmen of Knights of Blood pierced into the flesh of Ogres, Demon, Beastmen and all who dare run into their sights.
Taylor huffed slashing and hacking his way through the enemy. He was a Knight damnit he was supposed to be honor bounded and chivalrous but Volt and his lackeys have driven him into the brink of savagery.
If they wanted a war of savages then Taylor will make sure their given one.
While Taylor was leading a counterattack, Maia ordered her forces to evacuate as many people a possible. Maia witness a few beasts attempting to take any unwilling men as their own personal objects.
Maia dashed to which she slashed down the first one causing the beast to split open, the others begin roar and charge towards Maia.
To Maia surprise a little being with a Poleaxe leap over her cut down a Grey skinned Cyclop then beheaded a Green skin. The little savior was Luu Luu the Halfling leader of Rad.
"Luu Luu!" Maia said in surprise to which Luu Luu let out a toothy smile "Couldn't let you have all the fun Maia" She said.
Once the people were evacuated, Alliance gathered to discuss their plan. Herman and his Kjolrians were the toughest to fight even Silver Foxed Kjolrians struggled against them.
Malak looked at the map then said "My Orcs will continue to hold the gate at the east wing but my left flank will be exposed..."
"I'll have a few men cover you" Maxon said.
"These bastards are never ending...if only Aegeus and Alicia were here" Taylor sighed rubbing his eyes together very tired like.
"We have to keep resisting for as long as possible til reinforcements arrive" Maia said, "The longer we hold out and the more damage we inflict they'll have to rethink their strategies"
"She's right...But we can't last forever..." Maxon said. Maia sighed as she knew it was the truth.
The hard... unforgiving truth...
Outside of Ansur, Volt watched with a smirk on his face soon Ansur will be his and Eostia will fall under his rule, he knew they can't hold out forever without Aegeus.
Volt begins to see himself victorious like how he defeated Mason Uf'll, "Heh...Old man picked a child to lead his army" He said being cocky and full of himself.
