"So this is the plan everyone." I put the map on the table in the basement of my house and it's a secret war room.
Plenty of weapons, supplies, and even maps.
"The enemy will launch in this area, the center and it's very much likely gonna be tricky, what we're gonna do is that we need to set up a trap on them and be careful not to get caught." The person in the room said this.
"Still Chief, we cannot afford to make this trap, it requires many mechanics, and the mechanics, we will not be able to finish this that much in a day, since the enemy is about to reach to the main zone."
"That is correct but still, it requires a spy to sabotage the enemies from moving like destroying the enemies catapults, horses and even the equipment of our enemies, not even a single person could do this, and it may take like, five members to finish the job."
I don't even know who will handle this hard work, but still.
Do we really need to use plan B? No, I'm not gonna use that and it's very reckless, plan B is basically likely gonna be standing on our grounds and die in honor, but they're civilians and I will not allow this.
"We'll participate!" A shout among the crowds. "You, what are you doing here!" The middle-aged man shouted at the boy.
"We'll try to sabotage the enemies in no time." The boy smiles, still, he's not ready yet neither are they.
"Son, your not ready, you know what war is right?" "I know what that is." The boy replied.
"But still, your not yet born to be a spy nor a knight, it requires skills and there's also sacrifices in there, so it's no playground for you children." The girl beside him said. "But we are ready, we'll not allow those bad guys to take our home!" "That's right!" Both of the kids said persuasively.
"That's enough you guys, I think it's time I'll deal the job." That voice I recognized it, and the kid is there too. Of all people they find him.
"Long time no see, brother." He still looks young as ever, and he's no longer human and my instinct told me to trust him and he means no harm whatsoever.
"It's been long alright, Atlin."My brother is still fine as always. "So, how was coming back from the dead looks like." "It's likely not great, but it's worth it," Atlin said in a cold tone.
"Everyone, out please, your child stay." They nodded, as everyone leaves the room, me, my brother, and the child are the only ones left in this room.
"Mind if I say something?" I asked Atlin. "Sure, if you want." "We changed haven't we?" I asked this silly question. "Of course we do, no turning back to the way we used to be, and I'm very sorry I didn't tell you I'm alive and so are my siblings."
I slammed the table and shouted in anger. "Where the hell have you been all this time brother!" Atlin calmly said to me. "I'm really sorry I haven't contact you in a while and my disappearance."
"Disappearance, disappearance isn't it, after what we did for you lost, we mourned for you, prayed for you, dream about you, and now you're expecting an apology, Calden has been suffering your lost because of you, Sathe has died in a war along with her friend, Halete has been missing for years, and Fronar sacrificed himself as a hero and die for honor and glory, you weren't there!" As I continued.
"You are not even there to say a small letter if you alive and we would have helped you, with your problems, aren't we a family?" Atlin replied with a sad look on his face.
"Brother, I don't expect any forgiveness over me, it was my responsibility for not being there, and I want this to be a chance, a chance to change and take this task to prove myself I haven't forgotten about you and my siblings, if you wish to be angry, do it, I won't expect any complaint in me, if you wish me to kill myself, then I'll do it."
"That's enough," I said in a serious tone. "You have done so much for this, though I won't forgive you for not contacting us to believe your not dead, I'll assure you, that you are welcome as a friend, so be sure to remember that." "I understand, also I'm here to help brothe- I mean Leland."
"So you came to help us, about this plan A," Atlin replied. "That's what I been doing now, I don't need any payment from this, and I'll help you lose the advantage they had, so that way your mechanics can have time and your people to be prepared in this battle, be warn that they'll come back sooner or later, stronger than before and I hope that best for you."
"Very well, be sure to survive and stay out of trouble, you'll leave now, child stays here," Atlin said in a smile. "I won't let you down, Leland." He walked up the stairs and it's me and the child left.
"So, where did you find help like him, I thought you would go to the king's capital?" The child replied. "I changed my mind." This child is so very strange again.
(Atlin's Pov)
At night, I went camping they set up before invading the village, and as I swiftly avoid the knights and some I killed in other to decrease my suspicions, they have good equipment and has good catapults.
But not any longer, I soon try to sabotage them one by one, and then I saw these men are drunk as hell, and they couldn't keep their post and they are likely a bunch of scums.
I saw this knight and he's not the rest, he's very much likely inexperienced in war, can't believe they let a kid join in this bloody hell, even my siblings suffer the losses they seen and what they have done, but I wasn't there.
Now's not the time to go back to how it used to be, it's time to do this kind of job.
I found this bastard hiding in the tent, having fun with a bunch of ladies, disgusting and I hated it.
The girls are probably suffered from this bastard, no matter the kid there was sad, it's probably his friend is there.
I came in the tent and threaten the duke in the neck with my daggers and said. "Don't move or alarm the others, otherwise you are dead." Said in a cold tone, the duke gulp as a sign of fear.
"Tell me, why you are here in this land and why are those girls in sad and suffering?" "I-it's just a bunch of slaves and I own them." I made his neck bleed and show him I'm not bluffing. The duke was scared and he can't take it anymore. "You are the most piece of shit I have ever seen."
"Pl-please... don't... kill... me..." I replied with an intimidating tone. "Then give me the information I need, why are you here, and who gave you the others?" "I... don't... know..." I threaten him once again with my daggers. "I don't know, and they didn't even tell me their name, that's all please don't kill me." The duke cries.
"You don't deserve to live scumbag." I slice his throat in half. The girls and they don't seem to be alive. "Don't worry it'll be over soon." I walked out and decided to leave no survivors and then I'll give my brother a reason why I did this bloodbath.
Man, I'm a workaholic. But I'll do the job, no matter what it takes and I'll those pitiful souls, you'll no longer feel suffering.
May they find peace, and may the bastards burn in hell.
