ALL NOVEL Change
Walking into the headquarters, I saw War Chief Isabelle smiling, but Elder Redscale looked at me with a mixture of surprise and hate. It seemed that as this War moved forward, he hated me more and more. I did not know the reason for this hate, but I was getting more and more annoyed with it as time went on.
"Y-" Elder Redscale was about to say something, and I heard Elder Lily sigh loudly.
"Elder Redscale," She said, making him turn to her. "Your flagrant disregard for Chelsea, not only the Supreme Commander of the Elite army she only recently started, but also the reason that the Main army can eat, is frankly getting out of hand. You can dislike her all you want. You will not continue to snub her and chastise her when, as a LOVEKNOT, she has a fellow ELDER here. Your Disrespect for her will end. If you wish to change the situation, get more Elders here. Otherwise, the rest of us would like to hear her opinion on the information and how to move forward."
The sudden chastise of Elder Redscale came as a surprise.
It seemed that the other Elders were not. I looked and saw my mother with a slight smile on her face, and I knew the reason instantly. Elder Redscale looked gobsmacked, though, and opened and closed his mouth a few times before turning his head and waving for her War Chief Isabelle to speak.
"Thank you, Elder Redscale," Isabelle began acting as if he gave her verbal confirmation to talk. "The Scouts have noticed the Human slaves Christina has told us about. There is no solid count of them or even an estimate from the front lines, but the Empire has been after our scouts. We have reported that the Empire's Scouting forces are skirmishing hourly with our people. It seems that from their movement, though. The first signs of them making it here will be in two days. Somehow, one of our scouts got in deep and got solid information. Their entire group of mouse-kin but one other died on the way back out. Teevy is in critical condition, but he was the one who spotted it. The other was the one who carried them back exhausted. Both will make it out, although Teevy will need transport back to the homeland. He," She paused, "Lost his legs from the last battle. It seems they encountered a human that really enjoyed playing with their food."
Grim silence took hold of the room for a couple of minutes, and I sighed, "Well, we will do what we can for him as we send him back to the homeland. The question is," I paused for a moment, "Does this really change anything?"
The Question hung in the air, and no one spoke for a few more minutes. I shrugged, "So it doesn't. Our plans are set, and we are going to start quietly briefing the army on what WWE is going to do. The one thing this does is allow us a couple of days to ensure the entire army is in on our plans."
"That is true. He bought us the time to ensure everyone is on board," Isabelle said. We will have everyone filled in, and we will move forward with the plans we already planned. It has not changed a thing. Even an increase in numbers, unless it is an astronomical increase, will change nothing." Isabelle then looked at the Elders, "You all know what to do. Our people will know what to do."
"Actually, I would like to add one thing," I said, gaining attention and grinned.
"What is that?" Isabelle asked.
"Simple, I would like to add a stop point if they retreat. Where we will stop chasing them if our plans work out the best possible way."
"WHY WOULD WE NOT ROUT THEM!" Snapped Elder Redscale, "As they retreat, we will follow them and kill them as they run. Only a coward like yourself would think to stop before we cut them all down."
"Because that would be moronic, like yourself," I snapped back, "How far do you think I can fucking feed people, Elder Redscale! I ALREADY NOTIFIED YOU OF THIS!" I continued with a sneer, and suddenly, I started to choke on mana as the world started to waver under its might.
Then, just as quickly as it started, it stopped, and my mother was before him. "YOU WILL NOT HARM MY DAUGHTER!" My mother snapped at him.
The sudden movement of mana in the headquarters grew tremendously, then stopped just as suddenly. "Elder Redscale, you have stepped out of line," Elder Lily said.
"I will not be disrespected.
"Neither will I. You have done nothing but disrespect me. Despite all my contributions here at the front, you have done nothing but snub and sneer at me. Your contempt is something even the lowest of our soldiers is quickly learning. If not for my accomplishments, you would have undermined my Authority!" I spat back at him. I took a deep breath. "NOW, Before you continue to insult me, Listen. We are short on carts and supplies; I have been looking over updated maps my people have made for me, and I found the ideal location for a new defense."
I walked up to the maps and pointed at the spot a mile behind the Empire's current location. Around this area, there are hills spanning the entire area. A great place to start to set up a new border." I told them, and I heard pauses.
"Border?" Elder Lily asked.
"Yes, This war is not going to end soon, I think. The Empire has a better economy and more people than the Beast-kin nation. This is what they decided to send. Not the entire army they have. If we can set up and force them to continue to come to us, We win or force them to start to set up a border of their own. This is the best location that I have found. There is one main road that even their main army took to get here, and the natural hills will give us a geographical advantage. With new trench forts, we can even start to make roads and hold the City as a place to grow and feed the army."
"No," Elder Redscale said loudly and definitively, "We will kill them as far as we can go."
Isabelle looked at me, and I could see a peculiar expression on her face. "We will kill them as far as we can go, Supreme Commander. We will follow Elder Redscale's advice." She said, and I looked at her and saw her face turn to a smirk before turning to be serious as Elder Redscale grinned. "Now, with my choice out of the way, we need to discuss the tiny details of the exact wording for our army."
With that, we started to discuss. Only a few minutes in, though, powerful mana was felt out above the trench, and three of the Elders shot out, as did I. The meeting in the Headquarters came to an end, and above the trenches, three Empire A rankers fought with Elder Lily, Leon, and Redscale.
it was the first time that I got to see wild magic in action truly and the magic as Redscale fought. It was a combination of Wizardry and body magic. It felt like it could change any moment as the fire coating his body would shoot out only to change as it hit the spear fighter from the humans side. It turned to ice as it landed without any rhyme or reason.
The fight was intense, and you could feel the blood lust from them. The other elders moved, and soon Elder Kitty was atop the Human spearmen with her, cutting into his shoulder from a blind spot. Then a human appeared behind her and attacked her blind spot, only for the honey badger-kin Elder to be there. Elder Bradley was on top of the Woman from the human's side, and his claws dug into her breasts. The scream of pain made the intensity of the sudden fight even more intense as the A rankers brawled it out just above the trenches.
Then suddenly, the Humans, just as they started, pushed back and fought off the Elders even with their injuries. At least two of the humans were injured. The Elders were on them, but I could no longer see the particulars, and the sudden brawl came to an end as soon as it began. It was without any fanfare, and the elders showed up a minute later with massive smiles, but Elder Leon had a massive cut down his face and his chest from a sword, and Elder Lily's face had a massive bruise on her face and a cut down the length of her leg, but she was smiling.
"The humans lost that short brawl, but that was a much different fight from before. That was no probe. They came out to test us. I believe your information on the battle slaves is true. We are going to be in for a rough several days." Elder Lilly said, "I need to heal, but we did more to them than they did to us."
"Elder Bradley, I owe you one; that Human woman was about to kill me when you stopped her," Elder Kitty said with a bow, "I had not expected them to have an ambusher for me ready to ambush me."
"Think nothing of it," Elder Bradley said with a smile showing his claws, "I got a chunk out of her and almost returned the favor. She pulled back just as I was about to reach her heart. It was a quick and harsh fight that caught us all off guard. Without the trench enchantments assisting us in battle, we would have been on the losing side of that battle, which is unacceptable. Now, those who are injured heal up. We need to pay extra attention these days. Isabelle and Chelsea, You two will coordinate the front. We all must pull ourselves out of the politics." Elder Bradley then looked at Elder Redscale, "Elder Redscale, me, you, and even the Loveknot need to work together and be more vigilant. No more messing around," Elder Bradley then turned to my Mother. "That includes you. We need everyone in top shape or the best shape to fight the Empire."
Elder Redscale looked angry but nodded, "It was unacceptable how off guard we were caught. You are correct, although we came out on the winning side I feel that there was more to this attack than we thought. All of us should retreat to different parts of the front. Elder Loveknot, you can still hold the city but no more messing around. We must all pay attention to the war."
All could see the death glare my mother gave Elder Redscale, but she nodded. "We will all recede and leave the armies to the War Chief and the Supreme Commander."
Then they all split up and disappeared, suddenly changing the dynamics of the war front once more.
