With the thousands of soldiers moving to ScalesWind the men begin preparing for the battle. Once we finally did make it to ScalesWind many people from the village volunteered to fight with them. Just to get revenge on what Tula has done. It's been a few days since the plan was made to attack the Fortress of Hell and are armies have been rallied. With a total of 12,230 soldiers all ready to go. We begin the march to the Fortress. While we march towards the enemy Zane appointed me to one of his squads of only 5 soldiers. While every other commanders would have up to 200 men. My first thought was there must be a whole lot of commanders that's gonna be all over the battle field. Then I hear Vlad yell out stop to everyone. I go up ahead to see what's happening. First thing I see in a small village with Tula's flag on it. I immediately suggest that we should take for are men to rest there. Zane says," No we shouldn't, this town is just like an Outpost for the Fortress all it really does is serve as recon for incoming armies." Vlad then agrees. Vlad then claims," if a single one of the people who live there get out of the city that one person can warn are enemy who still doesn't know we're coming." While Zane reorganizes the army to avoid the village I start to get to know my squad. The second in control is Synk. All the others names were Daniel, Jade, Julian, Lux. From what I was told these are the only volunteers out of the whole army who would want to be with me. With the army making camp not to far away. I've been learning that Synk is from Dociya and Jade is from the capital. While Julian and Lux are from a village called Saratov. And Daniel who was originally born the Kimlascan Empire but turned to are side. Jade is a strategy director in the army. Who says to me," Why aren't we going to capture that village with your power we can easily bring it down. Especially since we have 5 ancient magic user here with us." I then questioned," 5 people here can use similar magic to me?" Jade says," yes 5, You, Vlad, Zane, Synk and I all have different but ancient magic." Then Daniel comes up to me and says," are teammates may be doing something rather rash" while he point at Synk leading Lux and Julian toward the village. The 3 of us rush down to them to stop them but we hear a scream. We see a soldier freak out in the middle of the street swinging his sword through the air. I'm confused on what's happening to him. Jade tells me," it must be Synk's illusion magic." If Synk has illusion magic I wonder what's the limit to his power. I come into the town and start freezing the doors shut so the people don't sound the alarm while Synk keeps distracting the guards in the village.
With all that we have secured the village got all the guards traped inside of a house and Jade and I go to tell Lord Zane about how we single handly took over the village. Zane reaction to this news wasn't what I was expecting though. Zane starts yelling," why in the hell would you do that with so much at stake and there's only 6 of you doing this. I was a fool to think someone with no experience would be able to command anyone. Not even 5 soldiers. I knew I should have put Jade in control cause he knows what's supposed to happen." Jade then interupts to say," Even though are plan was reckless we did achieve what even you weren't brave enough to do. Let's give Nikita this victory. With this we can show the soldiers he can actually handle himself in a mission we have him do." With that the army moves into the village and stays there over night. Knowing that tomorrow is when we reach the Fortress of Hell.
