Everyone arrived back to Oakdome. There was a horseman in the distance.
"Who is it?" Caden asked.
"Scout, the whole army will come soon," Mormir replied.
"Do you want to fight them?" Caden was scared.
"Come with me, Caden, you'll see our true strength, especially they will see it."
Mormir and Caden arrived in front of the town.
First soldiers began to appear on the horizon.
"They're not wardens... that's..."
"Imperial army," Mormir said to Caden when they saw a flag with a crown and a sword.
"What do you want to do?" Caden freaked out.
"Calm down, Caden... it begins," Mormir reassured him. The fog began to rise around them.
"What was that sound?" Caden screamed.
"Calm down. Do not worry."
"By all the Saints... what are..."
"Undead, Cade. Keep calm, they are with us," Mormir was still comforting him.
Hordes of charred walking corpses passed through Caden and Mormir. The Imperial Army's cavalry rushed into the fog, the screams of horrified horses roaring and the clatter of weapons was heard. Nothing was seen through the fog.
"This is your plan? Will we just stand still here?" Caden asked.
"Don't worry, they can handle it," Mormir assured him.
The endless crowds of undead still walked through the fog. The mages approached Mormir, and with deep voices, they began with a dark ritual. More and more troops of the Imperial Army ran into the fog, reinforcing the undead hordes with each of their dead. For about an hour, Caden and Mormir stood idly by.
The fog began to fade away, revealing the battlefield. The Imperial army's standard was locked in a pile of bodies.
"Well, it looks like we're done here," Mormir smiled.
"And what about that... undead?" Caden asked.
"We'll send them to the west with a few mages, let's see what they can do!"
Meanwhile in the Imperial City...
"We have the Imperial army. And what about church's help?"
"The Church of the Saints? Don't you know that the most famous Saints were most probably mages? Besides, they were the main and the loudest opponents of everything we had ever done, envoy."
"Stop calling me envoy, Derek, I'm general Jedar after all. By the way, when they are so well with those mages... they're with our enemies."
"Sir, you don't want to... fight the Church of the Saints?"
"Fight? Hah, the Church of the Saints is not capable of fighting. We should just advise them to stay on our side. Bring archbishop Coren here."498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OUEX7JUOQ
