P.O.V. Commander
"As such I order you to surrender and offer your lives to be harvested by IronHide." Not even a few seconds after those words were said the sounds of gunfire erupted outside of the building. What should have been an easy grab and go of Prince Henry quickly turned into a battle of his lifetime one that he would definitely lose. Staring outside in disbelief he watches as his *Recovery Force* is being decimated even in turtle formation (Also known as Testudo formation used by the Ancient Romans). Even with the remaining Mage Apprentice, the Unit was losing men fast. As the numbers dwindle the formation would slowly change to Orb. They outnumbered them 5 to 1 yet they were being slaughtered. The Commander couldn't believe how power these mages of Ironhide could be or rather how loud and deadly they were.
"Hold fire!! Now do you surrender or do I wipe out the rest of your troops!"
The Commander stared at Axel looking with regret, sadness appeared on his face. He knew if he surrendered here and returned to the capital his life was over. He lost three apprentice mages to an enemy of lesser numbers. He would be stripped of his rank and imprisoned or worst case he would be killed for his failures. The latter would be the more likely option knowing the mages. On the other hand if he surrendered here he may live a little longer and best case they would somehow defeat the mages. He was completely lost in what he should do.
He turned towards his remaining men who were terrified of this power these people had. He knew even if he wanted to keep fighting the morale was already at the lowest. Instead of throwing more lives at a completely pointless struggle he should surrender. Throwing his weapon to the ground signaling his men to do the same, he looks back towards Axel.
"We surrender please spare my men."
Although Axel was surprised with them actually surrendering he complied to the demands. He had the Green and Black squad tie up the knights, leading them toward the house. He pulled the commander to the side.
"You made a good decision here, although I'm disappointed you didn't choose to fight it out. I'll honor our terms and spare your men for now." Axel's smile turns into an evil grin scaring the commander even more than he already was after witnessing the slaughter of his men.
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Trust me this isn't out of kindness. If I was doing this out of kindness you would be already dead."
These words stunned the Commander. He no longer knew what he could say. He watched as all of his men were lined up on the ground along the side of the small house. Each one of the remaining men were tied up.
*P.O.V. End*
*P.O.V. Axel/Henry*
"Yo, Henry we can't really take the men with us. What do you think we should do?" Striking fear in the Commander. He turned back towards Axel.
"You promised you'd honor the terms of surrender!" Prince Henry turns towards Axel and stares for a minute.
"You told them that you would spare them?" Prince Henry's face contorted slightly. If he said he would honor the terms then he would have to do the same.
The long silence was enough for Axel to figure out what was going on in the Prince's head. Not allowing the Prince to finish his thinking process. He immediately ordered the death of the remaining troops. "Kill them."
The sounds of gunfire echoed in the forest, every single soldier that surrendered now laid down next to the house. The Prince and the Knights all stood in a daze. Without a moment of hesitation he ordered the deaths of unarmed men.
"AXEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WHAT YOU DID JUST TARNISHED MY REPUTATION! ONCE PEOPLE FIND OUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED...."
"Who's gonna find out? As long as you and your Knights don't speak of it there will be no witnesses." The Prince stood there stupefied although Axel was right. Things still didn't sit well with him.
"Now Prince, time to finish things." *Bang* Axel turned and shot the Commander right in the head quickly ending his life.
P.O.V. Prince Henry
Feeling he lost complete control over the situation. He could only sigh and attempt to move on. Although he was pissed that IronHide killed the soldiers that surrendered they were right. He had no way to contain them. He was saddened over his own weakness in this situation. He moved towards the house and ordered the Knights to start clearing the field of bodies with IronHide. Since they lacked the equipment and the proper means of handling the situation. The Prince had them burn the bodies so they wouldn't have future complications.
P.O.V. Black Squad
Maple: "Sometimes the Axel can be scary." The ways she spoke and the way her body was speaking were saying two completely different things. All members of Black Squad could see she had a smile on her face. Everyone knew that he could do no wrong in her eyes.
Andy: "Although, I don't agree with the method we used to end them. In the end we got the job done and without the risk of allied casualty."
Zach: "To me it doesn't matter what happens. They are working for a corrupted Mage who attempted to assassinate a king. If Axel says shoot I'll shoot.
Teoter: "Well we are former Knights and the way we think is different compared to a normal person. We are taught to value the ethics of promises we make. In times of war its expected when one surrenders for a reason it's done."
P.O.V. Swap Axel
