Retaliation Fate

It was not bloody but it was chaotic screams and sweat would be seen throughout the battle. The coloured paint would be a stain on the wall as some would pretend they really are in need of frontliner diviners making it more chaotic than ever. Artirian would be calm and collected as he has the first-hand experience in the siege of the city that was once he called home and the birth of the Flying Daggers.

"Enemy frontal attack inbound, prepare the spears and sword!" One officer on the New faction side commanded as he raised his sword to try to slash one cadet that was trying to climb on the barricade "Don't let these fools destroy the barricade thrust and slash!" Shouted by the officer leading the spear cadets that was from the New faction.

"Daamit we can't even get close over to that barricade Hey! We need a firework over here to breach this damn barricade!" shouted furiously by a cadet from the blue forces. Quickly a firework squad would run towards the arena entrance but they would not get even closer because of the intense fire rounds of musket fire.

Artirian was looking at the battle that was ongoing. While beside him was Lelucard his current side officer and Aider while Shanks was leading the Garrison forces from the Mess hall. Then after a few minutes of thinking Artirian would then call Lelucard attention and said "Officer I want at least immediate attack on the enemy right side and put piercing attack movements and retreat tactics to harass that open right-wing of the enemy. don't spare any Blue forces". Artirian commanded. Lelucard replied with "Yes, Sir".

The reply was so confident Lelucard immediately instructed the unit cavalry to attack. Soon the barricade was open and the blue forces who were trying to attack the barricade were trampled by the unit cavalry that was going outside. Lelucard goes back to Artirian side as they watch how the Unit cavalry harassed the right-wing of the Blue forces. "Excellent job for that unit cavalry.

I like them" Artirian said while smiling. "Officers also add that muskets must keep their ammo at a low cost. We don't want to waste precious ammo and arrows." Lelucard nods.

"I will be heading towards the office and if you need urgent reports just knock on the door if it's not urgent you will fix it by yourself because I trust you on that. Does that sound good, Lelucard?" Artirian said as firm as possible. Lelucard was startled that he did not expect that he would be leading the garrison defence for now. "Yes, Sir I will be willing" After Artirian heard that reply he would then walk towards the stairs going down towards the office.

After Artirian left the wall defence of the Arena messenger would be gasping for air trying to breathe. The messenger face was pale and like attacked by an assassin. While Lelucard would little nervous but still collected and try to be calm as possible so that it will not be seen as this is his first battle to defend.

He would then look at the messenger and ask "What are you gasping for? Is that an urgent message?" Lelucard asks while looking worried. The messenger replied "It is. You need to give this to the Faction leader as soon as possible so that the arena would be able to defend" As Lelucard heard the word defend on the last word that the messenger said it was the time to grab the messenger and run.

Lelucard called another officer to make an order to the Unit cavalry to retreat and disperse and move inside the arena. After that Lelucard would be hurriedly going down the stairs heading towards the New faction leader office. He would face the door and then with a beat on his chest he would slowly grab the doorknob without knocking he would see the Faction leader drinking some coffee while looking at the map.

"Sir, this is an urgent message and forgive me. I did not knock first" Artirian would be looking at Lelucard eyes and he felt it will be disastrous to hear the message but he nodded as to agree to what Lelucard is saying.

"Sir the Mess hall and outposts have fallen to the hands of both Faction Sir." Artirian hands suddenly shook; it was not expected to happen. Then lelucard followed with the words "Sir, Lt.Shanks and another officer aiding him was beaten and was sent to the infirmary the casualty was greater from the enemy side but we lost the territories" Leleucard said saddened but he would still feel the willingness to fight.

Artirian would put his hand on the table and his sweat would be dripping on his neck. Down to his neck. "I was not expecting something like this to happen...I know them shanks. Those bastards from both factions could they! ARHH" Artirain would wipe the table clean. Lelucard would see the pain the Faction leader received. In the military losing a man or a group of people is very hard for the one who is leading them. That is why Artirian was very saddened to hear those messages.

Artirian would then get back to his senses and look at Lelucard who was also looking at him. Artirian would dust off his uniform and then stand firm. "Return all forces that were outside and regroup them inside the Arena" Lelucard would reply "It has been done already, Sir. I have already ordered the unit cavalry that was sent out to the battlefront to return." Artriain would be proud that Lelucard had thought of that way of returning the unit cavalry to prevent a cut off their escape.

"I think the enemy has not yet received the news that the Mess hall and outposts were already taken over and their only problem is this Arena." Artirian said as he looked at the window viewing the battlefront. "Yes you are correct," Lelucard said. Artirian would then turn around and said "Follow me we are going to crush the unit that was outside so that we can breathe in" Lelucard would be confused and trying to figure out how. But still, he followed the Faction leader. Artirian would then pick a squad of soldiers. And they waited for the evening to come.

It was 9:30 pm on the Artirian clock. The sky was already dark and the stars were very visible, the same as the full moon that shone brightly. Artirian would then grab his binoculars and observe the enemy camp from a far distance from the arena scout tower.

After a few minutes of observing the enemy camp, Artirian noticed that the guards for the camp lacked rotation of guards that were guarding. Artirian would then put down the binoculars on the table and head down. He would then enter the officer tent and would see Lelucard who was seated.

After that, he would be looking at Lelucard who was eating a porridge that was cooked from dinner. "Lelucard" Artirians said calmly Lelcuard would look at Artirian a bit confused. And replied "Sir?" Artirian would then sit in front of Lelucard and said "handpicked a group of people more than 12 but less than 16 then formed them up on the grounds" Artirian would then stand up and head out of the tent.

After Lelucuard munch on his food, he heads out and tries to handpicked a few people that are good at sneaking and sabotage types of execution missions. Soon he would handpick a few numbers of people and soon he would form them up on the grounds. Artirian would pass by and notice that Lelcuard already finished gathering people.

"Well done Lelucard we will be discussing the mission briefly," Artirian said as the men that were recruited would be a bit confused because they did not expect to be chosen. "Right Lelcuard from these 14 people who do you think can lead them as a squad." Artirian said as he looked at the people who were formed.

Lelcuard would then calmly reply "Well Sir there are 4 people that I know that can be a good squad leader from this 14 people" Artirian would be pleased on how Lelucard would know that then Artrian would command Lelucard to pick those people and let them enter the officer tent.
