The Last Battle (I)

"I will go down and meet with the enemy's commander face to face. If I don't come back or they try to threaten you with my life or the lives of the captives then no matter what even if every one of you had to die, you fight till death and never let them set foot inside our home."

"But Captain Corwin, that risky..."

"Do you promise me or not?!"

"Yes, captain!!!"

"Good now go and fetch the rope for me" Captain Corwin ordered his subordinates.

Corwin used a rope to come down the city wall. He then walked to Riely and said: "I want to talk with the commander of the enemy."

Riely nodded and took him to meet with Cyrus, Donald, and Jack while also explaining to him in detail how the battle started and finished with their crushing defeat in just twenty minutes.

Corwin tried to imagine the scene of such a battle but he couldn't as he had never participated in such a one-sided battle.
