The news of the battle of Gellnor spread like wildfire. Soon enough the lord of House Ester, Kel Ester also heard this news. This made him anxious. He started to doubt himself. Wheather it was the right decision to help the Joyerns. Should he not had sent, Bek his strongest wizard to help an outsider. No, he tried to reason with himself. Afterall it's House Joyern he's talking about. A House that boasts the likes of people like Adlaf and Joseph. He knew now he had no option but to trust them and pray for their victory. But not everyone was in favour of them. Especially his younger half brother Del.
He thought it was stupid of Kel to help them and now he could prove his point.
Del says to him, "So these are the people you decide to support. The people who getting their asses kicked by the Gramwis. I should have never listened to you. Now we shall become a laughing stock due to association with them.
"Shut up Del. They may have lost the battle but the war has still not ended" Kel says
"Oh please what's left anyways their king is about to die anyways" says Del.
"He has not died yet. And he won't. He's a tough one. Like his father." Kel remarks.
Del leaves with anger but Kel remained resolute in his decision to support the Joyerns.
In the North as Lenin was making his way towards Adlaf his uncle, he was still thinking of a way. A way to get an upper hand on the Gramwis. Then it hit him. House Frega had still not chosen a side and if he could convince them to side with him. Victory would surely be his. Just then he reached Adlaf's base and met him.
"Uncle how are you?" He asked.
"That should be my question. I heard you were seriously injured but look at you walking just fine" Adlaf says.
"Well what can I say I'm one tough bastard to kill"
Just when they both were chatting his scouts returned with the news that Fredred and Gramwis bannermen were spotted near them. Soon enough a hugh amry was surrounding them.
But Adlaf was a seasoned warrior and wasn't scared of such pesky strategies.
Lenin, after his encounter with Karma was a little more cautious. Soon enough the Battle started. The Gramwis tried to use their wizards as an advantage but it was quickly removed by Bek. Who started his slaughterfest proving once again why he is called the Banshee. But Lenin and the others soon realise that Darzen was Missing. As it turns out after Darzen came to know about the victory of Karma he left his army under the command of Wamos Fredred and returned to Gellnor. In the battlefield the number of soldiers in the Joyern army was less in comparison, even when combined.
Just when Adlaf was thinking of a way to win a poisonous arrow hit him in the hand.
Before anyone could even think of something Adlaf cutd his own hand with lightening fast speed. Stopping the poison from spreading. As he wails in pain over the loss of his right hand and from watching his men dying. He challenges Wamos Fredred to single combat.
Wamos thinking how hard can it be to defeat a one handed man accepts his challenge.
