The day of the battle came and the commander directed his troops to the battle strategy they had planned. Though he was surprised, as most of the soldiers probably were, when he found out that the McKinley forces took over the McEwan's land they did not let that hinder the attack. As he was trying to prove his loyalty to the chief he sent his personal guard to lead the charge. The soldiers fought against the tides of the McKinley's troops, only to be brought down by the superior trainingof the opposing force. Corv's personal guard took over the fight against those clansmen, eventually ending the troops who brought down the personal guard. As McJohnstons's soldiers fought against the enemy they suffered many losses, but managed to gain a foothold as the remaining forces flanked around and brought the McKinley's down.
After fixing up some of the soldiers, as best as he could, he began his journey back to Corv so he could give a report of the battle. Luckily they had won the battle, but he feared the enemy might not be so happy about losing a small part of their army.
The doctor, now commander, walked into the throne room. His left hand was covered in a bloody bandage and several unseen cuts oozed blood from underneath his shirt. "Corv," He said, trying to bow as much as he could. "We have won the battle. We suffered heavy losses and the McKinley's did something we did not consider. They took over the McEwan's land and enslaved their people, fortunately they sent over only a small group of soldiers. They fought hard, however, and we lost all but two regiments of our army." McJohnston frowned as he thought about how many men they lost. Forgetting about it he turned the topic to a better tone. "But don't fret, here comes the good news! The McEwan's wealth numbered greater than their forces and the McKinley's soldiers had equipment that we could sell for a large amount of money! We managed to get six ducats and took over four parcels of land as ours. It is a joyous time... if you forget about the losses, of course." The Doctor managed a smile at the Chief, and retired for the day.
