[i]As the two stepped out of the tent, a fireball soon flew overhead, slamming into a row of tents that were beside them. The soaring flames reached high, while a man approached the two. A.. fairly old man.[/i]
"Commander-"
"Gods damn these Tribune!" [i]Lee interrupted his messenger entirely, though for good reason. Lee was certainly old, perhaps in his sixties or seventies, yet kept himself militarized and primed: he still seemed muscular, his face both shaven bald and his chin without a beard, while his eyes, as dark blue as they were, came to Cain and Lilly.[/i]
"There you are, Coldbourne - meeting's cancelled, I've got fires to be putting out. It's a damn trap, Tribune must've caught on already. I told the captains that this was a trap in the making, but they didn't listen!"
[i]Odd. That a captain wouldn't follow instructions. Lee had begun to assist the efforts in drowning out the fire - Lilly could certainly work with him for a time, while Cain could initialize a retaliation to the Tribune attack.[/i]

“I-I’ll see what I can do!” Lilly would say, running off into action to help with the flames. Cain looked wide eyed at his sister as she ran off, and then drew his spear as he looked at the commander. “Where do you need me, sir?” Cain asked Lee, ready to end the ambush single handily if he had too.
-
"Commanding a retaliation, that's all I need from you at the moment-" [i]Lee was interrupted as another fireball flew above the camp, another groan escaping his being.[/i] "Damnit.. With how much Freya talked about you, I'm hoping to the gods above that you can handle some siege engineers and their few guards, or hell, hold off whatever force they're sending at us!"
-
“Very well. Point me to a location, and I’ll gather a small force to drive these ambushers back!” Cain would yell to lee over the commotion.
-
"Looks like it's coming in from the west.. MAVOR, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND PUT OUT SOME FIRES." [i]Lee had.. a certain way of commanding troops and demanding immediate attention, as what looked like a service officer would bumble over and attempt to assist, alongside his few patrons. Mere seconds afterwards, and Cain found himself with a small group - thirty men and women, that Lee had yelled into action, and even they were accompanied by thirty more.[/i] [i]Sixty. That would be an impressive number to command fluently.[/i]
-
Cain had an idea about how to deal with such an amount. “Alright. Soldiers! We will establish two groups. Me and twenty of you will move west in a head on assault. While we distract the enemy, the other group must move around our attack and flank the enemy, preventing escape. Everyone understand?!”
-
"[i]Affirmativa![/i]" [i]Came a sole response, as the rest of the troops would then assume an orderly fashion, breaking apart into groups: one of twenty, another of forty. It was up to Cain now.[/i]
-
Cain looked to the west, observing it. Upon doing so, he waved his Forces to follow him, and thus he began to sprint [spoiler]Need more info on the surroundings to have a clue as to what to do haha[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Rip, sorry lol[/spoiler] [i]To the west, the Trayven encampment ended at a row of trees, while in the distance, hills and small mountains raised above the encampment. They would have to take pathways up, in order to attack the siege machines.[/i]
-
“Damn...”. Cain would say softly to himself. If the group was subjected to moving up the mountain his plan would not work. It was a head on mission, that was all he could think of. However... “Men! Hold position for a moment!” He commanded. “They have established a very defensive position upon the mountain range. I can only see one path from here leading to it. However, I believe there should be another path leading up to the same position. So, I will take Thirty men with me rather then twenty, and we will move up the main path. In the meanwhile, the other thirty must find the second path AS FAST AS THEY CAN. If no path is found, quickly make your way back to the main path and act as reinforcements! Note that the forest is a perfect place to ambush us, so be on your guard! Let’s move soldiers!” Cain would tell everyone. The group would split off as he commanded, and Cain and his group A would make their way to the main mountain path, reaching the woods to do so.
-
[i]As the first half of the group traversed through the darkened woods, another fireball soured over their heads, slamming into another portion of the encampment. All seemed silent on their end, as they faced no resistance, while Group B had been searching for a pathway up the mountain.[/i]
-
[spoiler]You take care of group B now.[/spoiler] Cain forged on with his men until they would reach the mountains, immediately looking to the start of the mountain path.
-
[spoiler]Kk.[/spoiler] [i]The main pathway up the mountain was rocky, tight, and narrowed to a terribly small passage, though one would manage still. Cain could now see where the fireballs were coming from - high upon the mountain, though too high to see the siege weapons themselves. Group B was making progress though, as they hadn't returned just yet.[/i]
-
Cain would look to the cliff face, observing it. He had too many men to climb with him... Oh. But he had an idea. “Travyens. This path is a death trap of those siege weapons aim down on us. So...I have an idea. While the rest of you make the way up the path, I will climb the cliff face. Hopefully I will cause enough commotion to keep eyes off you, allowing you all to back stab the tribune and beat them at their own game. How does that sound?” He asked his soldiers.
-
"That works for us, sir." [i]One of the officers spoke up, as the rest of the infantry troops would nod. Some were terrified, others trying to keep calm. But they would push forward, no matter what.[/i]
