Chapter 6 - The Mission

Vlad and I have been riding all night and we see the great Wall all around the capital. At the gate we encounter four different guards asking us who we are and what's are business in the capital. Vlad answers with," I am the Lord of ScalesWind and we were summoned by the Lord of are Empire." The guards immediately let us pass saying they will escort you to Lord Zane themselves. When we were walking through the capital I was mainly just looking at the city cause I've never even been in the capital and what I've noticed is that O'khasis is way bigger than I imagined. We reach the Palace where Zane and most of his family lives. But once make it through the palace gates it just looks like another smaller city is inside of it. Vlad tells me this is where all of the wealthy people live in O'khasis. Then we reach the center where Vlad tells me it's Zane Mansion right in the center of the city. We go inside to see Zane waiting for are arrival. He greeted Vlad but he asked who I was. I answered," My Lord it's an honor to meet you I'm Nikita." Zane quickly replies with," ohh so your the famous Ice Devil I've been hearing alot about." When I started to think, is that what everybody thinks of me as. Zane says," well let's get down to why I wanted you here, I'm sure you know that we are at war on 2 fronts now, correct. Well I came up with a plan to strike against the Kingdom of Tula and show them that it was a bad idea to betray the friendship we gave them. And now we shall show are full strength against Tula. And I hope you will be joining the ranks of my army, Nikita." Vlad rudely answers with," Sorry ZANE, but Nikita has already joined my elite army." That's when I clearly saw how there a bit of disagreement or something going on there. Zane replies with," It's not my fault you disappeared for a few years then decide to come back now." All of a sudden a guard approaches Zane from behind and starts whispering to him. I assumed he said," My Lord shouldn't you get back to why you wanted them here." Zane immediately got back to what he was saying. Zane said," We are about to launch an attack on Tula that will be 2,000 men strong. And I hope the Elite army of ScalesWind will be joining us." Vlad simply replied with," as if you need my support. All you want is to see Nikita's power."

Zane took us to the front wall and there we saw Zane army ready to march toward Tula. Zane also said," when we by tomorrow the army of Dociya will be joining us in the march." Dociya has the 2nd most powerful are in are Empire. Dociya has a total of 5,000 soldiers available. We will be taking 7,230 to attack Tula from all the soldiers we're taking Vlad says we must be attacking the Fortress called the "Fortress of Hell." Everyone call it that because it's the only Stronghold of the border that's survived through everything thrown at it.

Zane says," if we can destroy that Fortress or maybe even capture it, it would greatly boost the morale of are people also it will be much easier for us to have access into Tula. Vlad tells us," I would like to capture it cause it provides a lot of strategic value. Also if we capture it we can use the supplies in the Fortress for are own good.
