Woermann opened his eyes and saw Nas crying as he said "Please Brother please don't."
Darien came closer who's eyes were wide when he saw Woermann lying on the ground injured he fell on the ground and held Woermann's hand and cried in a painful voice" Please brother don't leave me I have only you left!" he said while crying very hard Woermann smiled and said "I'm not going anywhere I'm still there in you pure heart my brother, you're the Elder now protect our people brother." Darien was crying nonstop and said with repeated pauses "I-i- will never dis-disappoint you my. My bru brother just don't don't lea..leave."
Ael said to him "Commander He is dead." Darien stopped his eyes were wide but a smile was on the face of Woermann, Darien stood up and constantly kicked a body of a dead Wegrro and shouted "Come at me you fucking coward you bastards" Nas and Gastat tried to calm him down but he had lost control and was constantly shouting but some moments later he controlled himself and took out the cloak and wore and said with a low sad voice "bury them!"
Even after the burial, the people refused to leave Nas said "Elder Non is agreeing to leave!"
Darien who is the new Elder said "Come people let's avenge our fallen brave!" a woman stood up and said, "How my Elder?" Then Darien said, "By going to the castle we will regrow our numbers and finish this once and for all."
An Elderly man stood up and said "How can we leave our sons my Elder??" the Darien said, "Just like we left Engorea, we left them because we knew we would come back, we left them for a reason now stand and don't let fallen daughters, sons, brothers and Sisters death be in vain now stand up come on by People!"
People slowly stood up and they began their journey. The clouds filled the sky and it started to rain heavily, the soldier gave their cloaks to the Elderly and Children to protect them from getting wet or potentially cold, on a few meters away Darien noticed some horsemen coming towards them he knew that they must be the scout regiment of the Fort he waved his hand on the sky and the people stopped. A few minutes later The horseman came closer and a man unworn his cloak was a man in his thirties brown hair coming to his shoulder and a brown beard who asked "Peace to you, where is Elder Lee Beock??" he looked here and there and didn't found him Darien said to him "Hello Sir Herald Hancock, but when we were leaving the monster attacked, to save his people Lee sacrificed himself and gave the Eldership to Woermann who also died in an ambush last night and now I am the Elder."
Herald's eyes were wide and he said confusingly.
"I don't know how Lord Gerald will react, God bless them, soldiers give them caravans and cover the elderly, children and women, the temperature has certainly dropped." as they were distributing the people were constantly thanking them then Herald said, "Let's move."
And they begin to move to the fortress, they aren't far away and will reach the fortress by Noon.
Nas wanted to ask Darien a question but he was busy with Herald so he asked Estrog "Can you tell what is the connection between Elder Lee and Lord Gerald?" Estrog listened to his question carefully and then replied "When our king Caldruf died his son King Cladrag became the new king and Lord Gerald who was his body and best friend to Elder Lee, King Caldrag was happy with Lord Gerald and awarded him with 4 provinces, Caldrag, Dolis, Karnoph and Elbon,
Lord who didn't want to leave Lee, made him stay with him. During the war with The Amplers, Elder Lee showed his skill and tactics he took back Rodno, Tisha and Baltal and set a foothold to advance into The province of Karnoph where he took Krinas and Invaldal and later siege Farnbord with King Caldrag and his friend and after two months of they took it and immediately went for Kurnu and Ortania and Making the Amplers surrender and give Frostfall to us and leave the continent after that one-sided war Lee become the most famous and loved commanders of the war and King Caldrag made him the Elder of Engorea, it's his story."
Nas sadly said "He was a great man he deserves better than that!" to which Estrog replied, "Everyone deserves better they only get what is written in Their Fate!" Nas remembered all his friend's deaths and he fell from his horse and went unconscious and knew nothing about what happened next.
