They have taken heavy losses and are a
bit dejected. I think that the archers are crucial at this point because they
can protect my siege warriors from attacks while they continue their aerial
assault.”
“I
will station my archers in a protective pattern around your soldiers. I will
also try to inspire them to greater heights and encourage them to not give up
hope.” General Verandos smiled warmly at Lord Marcello and hurried off to his
carry out his various tasks.
As
the druid made his way to the troops, he stopped on the main thoroughfare
momentarily to see a massive number of elven troops heading his way. Once the
people had heard that the warrior druid was leading their army, a large number
of people volunteered for service. They all respected him and knew that the
situation must be dire when a peaceful elf would lead an army. Verandos smiled
inwardly at that shear number that had joined up. Lord Marcello would not
question his friend’s use of time anymore. Before he went on his mission
outside the walls, he had recruited several people to join his army. He had
instructed them to be ready in three to five days and to meet him at the southern
gates when they had gathered together everyone that they could muster. There
were one hundred thousand elves in the army marching toward the orc armies.
General Verandos looked over at his stunned counterpart and winked.
“Why
didn’t you tell me you were recruiting?” boomed the giant’s voice, half
irritated and half relieved. He always knew that the general would be the one
to save the day, and this massive elven army was just what they needed.
Mistress Khalida
A
beautiful guardian flew through the air with the grace and ease of an angel
atop what looked like an eagle. She was on the guardian’s errand and would not
fail to complete the tasks given to her. She was heading toward the north face
of Mount Lamont to meet with someone very important. She knew that her master
had already met with her quarry, but she was there to give special instructions
to him. She was to inform this formidable ally to wait to intervene in the war,
which was all but inevitable by now, until the very end. The guardian would call
for him and his kind to get involved in a more direct way when the time was
right. Khalida knew that the others had already spread out amongst the land
because she had been receiving reports from them for weeks now. She knew that
Mount Carrick was under attack as well as the Black Forest. She also knew that
the battle for the Nairi Canyons was hot and getting worse with each passing
moment. She even knew that there were two orc armies heading for Mount Adem.
She was impressed that her spies had not become involved and had limited
themselves to merely observing these events. She was especially impressed that
the fire in the southwestern part of Renshaw had not goaded them into action.
She
had arrived at the north face before she knew it and immediately began her
search for Master Mahdi. She did not have the same abilities of her master, but
she could sense the presence of the dormant being by her connection with the
earth. She relayed to the guardian’s most trusted ally precisely what would be
required of him in much greater detail than Mahdi had heard previously. They
reached an understanding, and she left the mountain by taking off into the air
and circling around the snowcapped peak of Lamont, and then she made for the
cliffs of the High Plains of Landen. I will walk in so I do not cause them
alarm. I am sure that they have heard of Kana’s flying demon and would not take
kindly to an aerial approach.
Khalida
alighted on the ground and walked resolutely toward the cliffs on the
northwestern corner of Landen as the sun began to set on another clear day. The
eagle like creature she had been on disappeared. It was crazy that the weather
was so clear here while unnatural storms were blanketing the rest of Tuwa.
Everywhere there was a conflict there were
