Mizse Toroch Pov:

"Bang!" A large wine jar smashed one the ground "that man is strong!" She smiled and everyone was laughing. Where they come from they respected the strong so dying and losing at the hands of the powerful was widely acceptable to them, "maybe next time it will be him I skewer with a spear, Isn't that right every one?!". "YES MY LADY! FOR SURE!" everyone that heard her responded. "Riders, my lady look", It must be my sister I though. I sent a letter asking or reinforcements, "have the enemies camp moved yet?", No my lady a sergeant spoke. "We just got reports that they fortified the place with palisades, they are probably also waiting for reinforcements".

Many riders came and after they tied their horses or have them looked after, a tall lanky woman a couple of years older than me stepped towards me " Well sister someone did a number on you, were they at least handsome or beautiful", she smiled at me. "Beloved sister he was like a beast, he fought me toe to toe and almost put me down". I felt my face heat up, my chest beat faster and my hands tremble, "I will fight him again and you're gonna help me". I Implied with a serious tone and she smiled back with a look of envy then she accepted, " First come" she started, "First serve" I finished.

Ian Pov:

The Drakk has asked me to move forward but I refused, there were to many unknown variables. I wanted to retreat and regroup with them but they implied it takes time for provision and vassals to come together so here I wait. I have been replenishing our stocks of food and water secretly but I can only keep the faced for so long before I eventually have to stop doing it or they might think me a monster, there is nothing worst at this time than being perceived that you are cursed but I persevere. "Young master a rider walks into my tent. "I have news" he handed me a piece of paper with the alligator seal on it, "Three days" That's all that was written on it, finally I though. I called for a meeting and asked for a report on each every one of their assigned units and I told them to be ready within three days we are moving and I know that they are gathering over there , but just three days we will have a force that can reckon with them.We have set up a perimeter and strengthen our position, the surrounding area has become infested by Toroch, luckily they have more infantry than cavalry and hope things do not get worse in these three days.

Elise Pov:

The days have gotten long, us patrolling the palisade day in and out. "We have been waiting here for days now" Culun grumbled, "You know we should be thankful I heard the Drakk asked the young master to push forward but he refused, he must care about our safety" Ryani playfully shoved Culun. "Yeah, yeah, yeah it's just so boring" culun dryly implied, I therefore pointed at his weapon and implied that he should clean them but he retorted he already cleaned them three times today then we all started laughing.

Arist Drakk pov:

"My lady we have been harassed for days now" A captain looked at me with an angry looked, I waved him off. "We are doing fine, my sons are in the hands of those barbarians" I scoffed at him. "Just give me the report and leave I have enough things to worry about". I keep thinking to myself that my sons are dead or worse being tortured, my husband should have stabilize his power in our city first before trying to expand his influence into the neighboring city. I try to look at the situation with optimism, we have manage to gather our noble vassals and rallied our armies but we only numbered three thousand troops while we go further into enemy territory more and more constant skirmish happens . These people I though are not afraid of death, they are relentless in their harassment, we have passed over innumerable numbers of traps and ambushes and some of the enemy even went towards our camp asking for duels! "what kind of people are we dealing with I though". "BANG!BANG!BANG!, what?! another raid! it has been three in the last hour!" I angrily left my command tent to help in the defense.

Jen toroch pov:

"hahaha!, this army must be the reinforcement those men needed I heatedly laugh as swarms of my people hastily attacked. We have been forcing them to slow their pace and when they camp we attack them to destroy their morale , deplete their resources, discourage foraging parties and tire them out. It has only been a couple of days and this mighty army loos haggard already, this army does not realize that I have this area surrounded by hundreds of war-band parties, I looked at my trusted captain Merric. The man has serve my grandfather and my father before me, it is his plans that has been destroying the enemies, "my lady we should pull back soon, let them get close to the watering hole then attack their cavalry then poison the next watering hole the one after that". I nodded my head with an approving manner "Uncle Merric , do what you need to". "TROOO" the retreat or the raid sounded.

Ian pov:

It has been six days and still no sign of the Drakk army, I was beginning to wonder if I have been abandoned here and then a runner came up. "Sir we have an injured scout that said they Drakk armies were seen and are under heavy attack as he finish the report a large army appeared over the horizon. Two riders moved forward toward the camp. "YOU ...WILL.... PAY...TO.. ..ME!" a girls voice yelled towards my direction I could barely hear what she said but I knew it was that girl I defeated, It seems like they are here to stall us and or tire us out before we can help the Drakks, "Ding! QUEST: Defeat the surrounding army and save the Drakk army" , this is gonna be a long day I though.
