Chapter 30 - Set Up

Karma and Ingrid rush into Lenin's room.

"It's ready!!" They exclaim.

Lenin's face lights up.

" Prepare the banners. Blow the horns.

We are going to war."

After about five months since the battle of morning meadows, Lenin had declared another war on House Frega.

While Ingrid was on the castle wall, Lenin approachs her.

"Hey, Ingrid..... I hope there's no bad blood between us.

You know the history I had with your father but you still deciding to join forces with me....

I shall be your grateful.

" Lenin....

My father has bad eyesight but he still had the vision. He was the most far-sighted man I ever saw. Before being banished, he told me, he sensed greatness from you. Don't prove him wrong.

Also I ain't doing this just for you. Horis betrayed my father as well."

Lenin-" we shall attack at daybreak.

I hope you are ready to go through with the plan. I mean...

We still haven't tested them yet."

" it's okay. I mean what's the worst that could happen " Ingrid says with a nervous chuckle.

On the dawn of the next day. House Joyern combined with Darzen march towards the House Frega's new capital city.

The city of Pyon.

The city was built in the centre of a huge plain, with little to no trees making it impossible to sneak attack.

It did have a river running through it though it.

Lenin's plan was simple. Attack the city from all fronts as he took a small fleet of ships and attacked from the river way while Karma took the main army and marched it right at the front gate where he was confronted by Horis and his army.

Horis talks to Karma,

"Karma.....

Why are you doing this?? Siding with the man who exiled your dear friend. Come side with me before it's too late. Togather we can still get rid of this Joyern spawn.!"

"Oh my dear king Horis. Still trying to use your petty tricks.

You seriously think I have forgotten your betrayal as you stood and watched while my men died. What Lenin did was the neseccity of the situation. Nothing could be done about it. Atleast he had the courtesy of fighting me from the front unlike you who stabbed me through the back. What you did was a heinous crime.

Enough talking....

I have nothing to say to you"

Horis had an irritated expression.

"Fine then, suit yourself"

During this time

Lenin had reach the the city through the river but in front of him stood two watchtowers. With a bridge connecting the two. It wasn't there before. Horis had constructed it just for this kind of scenerio.

But Lenin had his own little surprise. As he removes the cover from the front of his ships to unveil Cannon infused with Ulma.

As the guards observe through a telescope and he's about to blow the horns to inform the others, an arrow pierced his chest.

On the ship were archers equipped with special long range crossbows made out of Ulma as well.

When in range, Lenin ordered his men to fire,

"LOOSE" He shouts as they rain cannons and arrows upon the enemy towers and the bridge collapsing it in the process.

The impact could be heard by Horis and Karma as well.
