The news of the battle of Cliff Top reached the Gramwis. Darzen was furious to say the least. He had not expected this at all. He thought it would have been an easy victory as there king , had just past away. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine a young man like Lenin would step up and be such an efficient king. Making strong decision and smart strategies. Not to mention the anomaly which was the wizard Banshee.
But Darzen still had confidence.
He had a larger army and more wizards
and surely House Frega would side with me he thought.
But slowly and surely things were not going his way. He also heard news from his scouts that Lenin was moving with a large army towards the city of Gellnor.
Gellnor was a big and fortified city surrounded with hugh walls. Darzen knew if Lenin captured the city, victory would become near impossible. So he mobilized his troops and sent half of them almost 55,000 men to defend the city. But he was also aware of Adlaf and his army so he himself and half of his army went to face Adlaf. But before leaving he went to meet someone.
A man in his mid-thirties with short black hair and brown eyes. He had a scar on his face running from his left eye to lips. He living in the woods as a woodcutter.
King Darzen, he greets the king with a warm smile
Karma, my old friend exclaims the king.
How have you been?
Just fine the man replies.
Glad to hear that.
I would love to chat more but I am little short time so I'll skip to why I'm here.
I need you.
The Joyerns are planning to attack Gellnor.
"Well then you better hurry up my lord as if they get Gellnor you might not win" karma says.
That's the problem you see I will be busy dealing with Adlaf and army from the other side.
"Oh yeah I had heard of the battle of Cliff Top and the new mage Banshee was it"
Yes you heard correct
So now I need you.
"Oh please my lord what use do you have of a woodcutter. Do come again sometime to have some tea with me" karma says while going back.
Just then Darzen picks up the axe and flungs it towards karma.
Karma without missing a beat grabs it midair throws it back towards Darzen nearly hitting him.
"See" Darzen says " you are still the soldier you once were so please pick up the sword for the last time. For your land. For your lord. For your friend?"
Karma thinks for a while and begrudgingly says yes for his old friend.
Just like that Karma joins the battle taking command of the army which was heading to Gellnor.
When Lenin heard of the news that Karma was incharge of the army. He was startled. As he was not expecting to face the greatest general of his time.
