(Golden Deer Territory.)
Edelgard stepped over several soldiers towards Judith. She rested her axe on her soldier.
"I thought you'd be one of the first soldiers to engage us, Judith." She stated before rushing the Golden Deer commander. She managed to score a shallow cut on her leg before the girl's rapier cut her arm.
"I have my orders, princess… I wouldn't expect you to understand." Judith stated, Edelgard parried another slash before she tripped up Judith and brought her axe down only to miss by an inch.
(With Damascus)
Damascus panted; he brought a hand to his ribs. He was bleeding, he dodged another soldier and stabbed him through the chest before throwing him to the ground.
An axe strike knocked him to the ground, damaging his armor. He brought a hand to the cut into the armor.
"I'm going to have to fix this armor when I get back." He stated, he cracked his arm and caught the arm of the soldier trying to swing his axe at him.
He threw the girl down the bridge into the abyss. He slowly climbed to his feet, using his glaive as a crutch.
"Hubert, are we winning or not?" He asked, he coughed and then brushed off his armor.
(With Edelgard)
Edelgard felt another small slash to her wrist, she parried the next hit before pulling Judith into a punch. She threw him to the ground before twirling her axe.
"You really think that if I fall here, this will change anything?" She asked, Edelgard brought up her axe to bring it down on her back.
"I know the Golden Deer are one step closer to losing this war after you fall." She said before bringing down the axe.
Judith's life was ended in a flash by the leader of the Black Eagles. She turned to the soldiers and marched back into the battle, grabbing Judith's sword.
She could see the reinforcements that had been throwing everything they had against the Black Eagles.
"YOUR COMMANDER IS SLAIN, SURRENDER, OR YOU WILL BE OFFERED NO MERCY!" Edelgard said before she threw the sword into the battle.
Some of the soldiers noticed, they slowly looked at it as the fighting slowly started to die down. She could see the color drain from the faces of soldiers who had to deal with their commander's death.
She saw them rush past her, while more injured soldiers dropped their weapons.
(With Damascus)
Damascus was about to battle more soldiers before one of them dropped their sword. He leaned on his glaive and coughed before he slowly walked through the groups of fighting soldiers.
"THE BATTLE IS OURS!" Damascus heard before he collapsed to the ground.
He could feel that he was hurt, his armor was cut in a few places and he would have to sharpen his weapon and lick his wounded. He couldn't be wounded by the next battle; it would slow him down and cause him to make mistakes in battles.
"Damascus." He heard as he pulled off his damaged helmet, he looked up to see Hubert walking up to him. He put his glaive next to him and looked at the second in command of the Black Eagles.
He sighed and brought a hand to his chest; he could feel blood coming from his chest and groaned.
"You need a doctor." He stated and went to go and get a medic who could tend to the warrior who shook his head before he slowly started to get to his feet.
Damascus saw Edelgard walking towards him while the other Black Eagle soldiers were busy tending to the rest of the enemy. They had won, any soldiers who hadn't been killed or had retreated were now prisoners of Edelgard's men.
She walked up to Damascus who brought a hand to his chin which had blood coming from it.
"I see your alright." She stated, Damascus shrugged. He groaned and felt pain from his chest.
"I'm still alive," He stated. He coughed up some blood and then slowly stood up to look at the princess. She walked around him, looking at his wounds and damaged armor.
She stood in front of him and tapped her axe on the ground. he looked at her, waiting for an order or something to do.
"You're going to a doctor. I don't need wounded soldiers on the battlefield." She stated before walking away, Damascus stood up and grabbed his helmet before following her into the plains.
"We aren't going to press the advantage, are we?" He asked, Damascus looked at the sky, unsure what to ask about at the moment.
She could only hum before she turned to face him. Damascus did need a doctor, as did many soldiers in her army.
She could feel nothing but happiness though at the victory at the second.
Damascus blinked and hummed.
