_________________________________________________________________________________________
It had been a near ten days since the battle of the Greyfell mountain pass, where nearly 20,000 Iltonian warriors had been slaughtered by the massive monster warband. The battle was all but lost as a traitor had led the damned creatures through a secret passage and surrounded the warriors, leaving them to their infinite demise. Consul Volumnius and his fellow companions managed to escape but defeat leaving a bad taste to them and a raging fury in Volumnius. Currently now he and his companions rest at a nearby military camp, set up by his brother Titus who in charge of the Runumian force had forewarned his brother and demanded him to wait until he had arrived. But Volumnius lust for glory and victory had persuaded him otherwise to go on and now the two stand in their tent along with other officers and commanders.
Volumnius and Titus scan the massive map that portrays the surrounding area. In the middle of the map laid a wooden fort with several marble pieces representing the Iltonian and Runumian forces. They were on top of a large hill which is a vital defensive position. The surrounding area's are mostly consisted of flat grassland with some patches of forest and a river to the left flank of the fort, about five kilometers away. Titus looks with determination as a plan circulates, "We need to lure these creatures to us on this hill, its our only chance of actually winning this fight. Plus we can hide some of our cavalry in the forests nearby and hit them while their caught up in the heavy fight.....I'm confident that our flexibility and strategy will overcome these vile creatures hopes of conquest here." volumnius shakes his head with a a small grunt, "Maybe but these vile creatures are not being led by some mere fool, obviously he has some brains and a bunch of cowards who would dare turn on their own with a flip of a coin. I say we go out and hunt the damn Leader and cut his head and bring on a stake for the battle to come! That will make killing them alot easier!" Titus looks at him with an utter disgust and dissatisfaction, "How do you plan on killing the leader himself when you had failed to even punch through the enemy lines at the mountain! We must be cautious in our approach and quite frankly we do not need to waste valuable resources in such foolish actions that are equivalent to child's dream!" Volumnius then slams his fist down with a mighty thud and the two were about to start their feudal argument when suddenly a messenger arrived with news of the famous legend Alois had arrived. Everyone within the tent went silent and quickly filed out to meet him.
