And the group went further south, through the snow, through the forest. And they managed to get on the outskirts, only to see a grim sight:
Menelean banner was flying over the inn of the village, as green-armored men roamed the perimeter. Few of them were putting crates and bags on a pile, and behind them, some houses were slowly burning, producing thick smoke. It wasn't just an occupation, it was wholesome plundering as well.
And the low wall surrounding the village was being manned by the soldiers. Soldiers, who, the moment they saw a group of mercenaries emerging from the forest, began to shout and give signals to their fellows deeper into village.
"Arvis, a large group of armed people is approaching from the northern forest." "What? Shit, I didn't plan on that." The blonde crossbowman, wearing a mark of Kesselring on his armor's chestpiece, grimaced and then moved toward the inn and kicked on the closed door.
"Get out! We're under attack!" The door clicked after a while and Arvis stepped aside as the tall, hooded man stepped out, putting gloves onto his hands. He squinted his eyes for a moment, and then looked at the crossbowman.
"I haven't finished interrogating her yet. Why did you interrupt?" "I just said, you blockhead! We're under attack! Berebians, maybe. I don't think we left any of those mercs alive, so, yeah..." "I see." He blinked.
"And what of it?" The reply shocked Arvis for a moment, before he smirked.
"What 'what'? You... You don't give a fuck what happens to us soldiers, eh? EH? You glow-eyed bastard, you-" "If you're done with insulting me, you should get to work. I've managed to pry the box from the woman's hands, but keep her under lock for now. I will be leaving for the border. Burn the papers-" "Wait, what about me?" "You're the military here, Arvis. Use your brain for a change. Rally the wyvern riders, or maybe call Wodan. Yes, a duo of a mad knight and a serial rapist should work. And speaking of your 'hobbies', no more violating women on the job. Lady Prixima and I won't pull you from prison for the fourth time, Arvis. And my eyes aren't glowing." Ernest then walked away, whilst Arvis spit on the ground.
"Bullshit. You, that Aaron guy, and those others... if I see glowing eyes, I fucking see glowing eyes. Creepy bastards..." After the grumble behind the spy's back, the crossbowman reached for his little quiver at his hip.
"Okay people, get ready for action! Rally the wyverns, and send for Wodan and his buddies!" As the soldiers prepared for combat, Arvis grinned.
"...He kinda didn't mention my hobbies after the job, did he...?"~~Player Turn 1~~
