[51+20] As you sneak towards the kennels for the Cavalry you are spotted by a guard rushing...somewhere. Luckily he seems to be somewhere completely else with his thoughts otherwise you would have been screwed. [71] To your luck the Kennels are currently only guarded by a single man. [73] You slowly manage to sneak up behind him, although for one moment it seemed that he would turn around. [26] However your silent kill turns into frantic stabbing of the guards face as he turns around in the moment you want to slice his throat. Screaming he falls over. [47] You hide between the animals as a squad of Guards approaches. [31] Quickly you begin to cut the ropes holding the horses but suddenly you feel the point of a sword against your back. "No wrong movements scum!". As you slowly turn around you realize that he is not alone, a comrade is pointing his spear at you too. [96] However these two guards prove to be no threat to you. You grab the first guard by his wrist and pull him over, while at the same time using your knife to deflect the tip of the spear, then grabbing it by it's handle and janking it out of the guards hands. Before he can emit a shout you throw your knife at him, cutting his throat open and silencing him for good. As the other Guard tries to stand up you pin him to the ground with the spear and than end his life with a quick swing of his own sword. As you are freeing the horses, you suddenly realize that in an adjacent kennel the gigant beetles ,the Xenos use, are situated. [37] you try to scare them off but realize that a mere clap on the massive backs of these beasts will not impress them. [44] Drawing your pistol you fire a silenced shots in one of the beetles legs, causign it to rip down the kennel and scaring the horses, which now begin to panic. As they start throwing themselves against the fencing you suddenly realize that you are still among them. [51] You barely manage to get out of the way before they trample you, only to land amidst the giant-beetles. [78] This time you are more careful and press your way to the back of the kennel where you use your rifle this time. A quick shot into the legs of one of the beasts is enough. Screeching they break down the flimsy fencing and run off into the Rebel Camp. [11] However the rest of the soldier squad has finally found you. [95] Luckily 3 of them get trampled, leaving you only with 2 to deal with. [96] You have enough of close combat for the day and quickly dispatch them wiht your silenced pistol before their spears come into stabbing vicinity. You decide to leave the camp to itself and let things unfold.
Renard's Guard
[9]"False God? False God? WHO is this heretic and why does he think he can order us around?" screams one of the Lords. Seems like you hit the wrong string here." Not enough that the King went insane with his rebellion against the Church, no he also allied himself with these beasts here and now you tell me that the Pancreator is a false god." yep...definetly the wrong string. [8] Suddenly the guttural voice of one of the Xenos can be heard. "Beast? You Steelmen dare to call me Beast? Without the sacrifices of our clans you'd be dead!" "Oh yeah, well time then that we sacrifice you all, maybe we can get out of this misery then!" "Then come here Steelman, i will offer your heart to the the Great Beetle!" with this both of them charge at each other, weapons drawn, followed by their retinues. At least they are too occupied with themselves to take care of you. [13] However shit hits the fan when the bug/horse stampede dives amidst the fighting groups. [6] While you grab the king and try to drag him to a safer place you see a massive beetle coming directly at you. [55] You barely manage to dive out of the way, dragging the king with you. As you regain your footing you begin to lose all hope: The Chaos is complete, men and Xenos alike are tearing at each others throats, the bugs are trampling the camp down and everywhere are dead and wounded people. [67] Luckily you find at least one other Bodyguard of the King, who immediately helps you to get Renard to a medicus. [93] To your Unbelief you find the Medicus Tent completely intact, with the doctor hiding within. After quick persuasion he agrees to diagnose the King. [25] After a quick diagnose he tells you that he can do nothing anymore. " His spine has been shattered by the will of the Gods, all i can do is give him the milk of the poppy toease his pain..."
