Damascus pulled on his helmet as his body continued to wake up and he cracked his back before looking over and grabbing his weapon.
He walked out of the tent and walking out and into the rays of sunlight.
"I can't believe… No, I just don't feel used to the sun." Damascus muttered and he rested his weapon on his shoulder before he turned and walked towards Edelgard's tent.
He needed to… Wanted to make sure to ask if Edelgard had another plan that she would put into action. She was a warrior, a skilled one at that, he refused to believe that Edelgard was being coy about things.
He slowly stopped in front of the tent and he sighed with amusement before he chuckled before he slowly opened the tassels while the tent was closed.
"I didn't expect you to be awake so early." Edelgard said, she was in a red nightdress, but her axe was still next to her in case she needed it
"I'm always awake early, I have to train sometime. I usually don't get up at this exact hour, though." Damascus muttered before he sighed and started looking around the tent before he yawned again.
"We have another enemy in this war, you know." Edelgard stated while Damascus blinked and turned to look over his weapon before turning back to Edelgard.
"We have 3 if I recall… A 4-way war isn't very good for us, you know… We do not have endless soldiers, and even if we did, they surround us and outnumber us. I may not be much of a strategist, but I know fighting 3 people at once is a very bad idea when their all as strong and smart as you." Damascus said before Edelgard nodded.
"Which is why we will take out the Golden Deer first, they are the only option currently. We make a move against the Blue Lions; they will retaliate and wipe us off the map before we can gain a foothold here… We're going to keep ahead of the Golden Deer." Damascus heard from Edelgard and he hummed. Edelgard turned from a map of the world around her.
"They are still a strong army, and making such a big move like this? You know it will get attention, attention that we don't need… Are you sure we're going to be ready to engage an army?" Damascus asked, Edelgard nodded and turned back to the map.
"We maybe assaulting a group that is dug in, but the fact that the alliance has been busy engaging the rest of the Blue Lions while we've dealt with their rear guard? They will be weak; we have a few locations to capture before we break into their capital and destroy them for good." Edelgard stated, Damascus sighed and he hummed one last time.
"We're going to be going to war with a group that is entrenched and supplied… We're going to need supply lines at least if we're going to be going up against such a task." He stated and Edelgard nodded.
"That's why I'm ordering the capture of an important location that will keep us supplied and allow us to retreat home if things go south." Edelgard put in and Damascus sat down and looked over his weapon.
He rubbed at his head while he cracked his knuckles and rolled his eyes and then yawned again.
"Well, what's your plan? I came here to talk about it, I'm sure you have something and I want to know what we'd do about it." Damascus said, he closed his mouth and turned his head to the side and then turned to the other side as he cracked his neck.
Edelgard turned and walked around before stopping in front of Damascus while the armored warrior turned to look at her with confusion and he blinked.
"I'll tell you when we're there, I don't know how to deal with traitors, spies. I don't know what we're going to do about them." Damascus heard from the Princess and he hummed again.
"You could use them to feed the Deer and Lions false info. You know who they are? You can use them against the rest of the enemies around us." Damascus stated, Edelgard brought a hand to her face and she looked at the wall while she cracked a smile.
"I'm going to find them; we're go after them and we're hunt them and destroy them." Edelgard said, Damascus tapped his weapon on the ground while he walked outside.
"We're go and… Well, we're going and we're deal with them… I don't think we're awake enough to deal with this… Yep, I am so tired I don't even know what to do." Damascus muttered before he started to walk back toward the tent where he had his supplies and he rolled eyes and rested his weapon on his shoulder before he started walking back towards the rest of the camp.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I didn't know what to do for the rest of the chapter. I do want to point out this will start the war with the Golden Deer. Next chapter will take place on next Wednesday or so and will show the march on the capital for the Golden Deer. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
