(Adrestian Empire)
Damascus grabbed onto a ledge before his weight almost forced the ledge to break under his weight. He pulled himself up and next to Caspar as the rocks rolled down the canyon.
"I haven't seen a single Blue Lion… Maybe this was just an advance force…" Caspar said before Damascus pulled his fellow Black Eagle behind the cover of a rocky outcrop.
He could see a group of Blue Lions, the flag he saw marked them as such.
"Damn it, Blue Eagles…. At least I think they are, that's got to be at least a platoon or more." Damascus stated and he turned to Caspar who noticed the group before he spun his axe.
"Well, let's go and take them out!" Caspar yelled before Damascus held Corvus in front of him.
"No, I didn't know there would be that many. We can't tackle that many Blue Lions and engaging them would get us killed or captured…. I want to fight them, trust me, I really do. I just know that this is a bad move." Damascus stated and he sighed and turned.
He saw an arrow stab into the rock next to him and blinked before he leapt down the slope, sliding down while Caspar followed.
"We need to get back to camp before those Blue Lions catch up to us." Damascus stated before saw another arrow fly towards his face and he batted it away.
"You have to be kidding me." Damascus muttered before a group of Blue Lions with swords rushed at them.
"Screw it." Damascus said and hit the switch which extended Corvus into its full form and twirled the glaive in his hands and rushed into the dozen or so soldiers.
He slid under the sword of one and drove the blade into the man's throat. He felt another sword slam into his back and he felt to a knee.
He rubbed his back, even if the sword didn't cleave through his armor, it still hurt.
"Damn it." Damascus said before he climbed to his feet in time to duck a swing at his head before he slammed a foot into the man's head.
This gave him enough time to stab his glaive into the man's leg, injuring it before he sent the man skidding back with a bat of his glaive.
He turned and sprinted at the way he came, it was beginning to become to change from day to night, if he managed to get far away enough? He could and would escape…
He turned to see Caspar knock a soldier to the ground before he slammed his axe into the man's chest.
"Caspar, we need to go, there's too many for us to fight!" Damascus said before another soldier slammed into him. Damascus backed up and seized a soldier's blade.
He sidestepped another swing before stabbing the blade into the soldier's back.
"Caspar!" Damascus yelled before the warrior finally decided that the battle wasn't going the way he wanted it to be.
Damascus dodged an arrow aimed at his eye and started to retreat, he was skilled, but the Blue Eagles had both numbers and skill at the moment. He couldn't handle that.
Caspar ran past him as Damascus quickly joined him, both warriors rushing into the night and towards their camp.
The Blue Eagle soldiers contemplated going after both warriors before turning and walking away. They would have plenty of time to deal with the Eagles and their lord had ordered that they wait for the Eagles before they end up going to war with the Eagles in a battle, they could destroy them.
(With Edelgard and the Black Eagles)
Edelgard was at the war table before she heard Hubert enter her tent.
"both General Caspar and Lord Damascus have returned to the camp." Hubert stated before the tent doors were parted.
"There's dozens of Blue Eagle soldiers… Dozens, we barely took down a few… How did they manage to sneak in that many soldiers?" Damascus asked before he started to pant and looked at the scratches on his armor.
"I'll fix my armor soon… But those Lions are ruthless… They would have killed us both within seconds if we hadn't pulled back soon, I didn't see any follow us." Damascus stated.
"So, the Blue Lions have been establishing themselves within our borders… I will not tolerate that…." Edelgard stated before she turned to the duo.
"Go to sleep, I will tell you our plan tomorrow… We're going to counterattack them during the morning." Damascus heard from the ruler and he hummed before he turned and walked out of the tent and towards his own.
He wondered what would come next and how the Blue Lions would respond with next.
He sighed and started to lay down, his mind racing as he wondered what tomorrow would bring.
He removed his helmet and put it down before starting to fall asleep with dreams of the future… And past
