Building a Kingdom and Conquering the World

Mirante was surrounded by a light forest which had a scarce number of Torch Trees that were used to light up the way and functioned as a good way for the defenders to spot trespasser and sneaking enemies during the night.


Leier was carefully treading her way, contouring the walls and using her ability to blend with the surroundings, like a chameleon avoiding others perceptions, taking care to not get spotted by the archers over the wall, who were on high alert due to the enemies on the horizon.


Soon, Leier's cautious steps led her towards a sewage mouth, which looked like a dark abyss, where all the waste was dumped into a now frozen stream of water. The disgusting sight and the smell of feces, urine and other frozen substances that covered the ground made her stomach turn.


The smell was so strong that Leier almost lost control over her ability and got exposed, 


She was a hunter and a soldier who were on the battlefield or hunting on daily basis, but the strong smell caused her to want to turn away and run. However, remembering Henry's trustful eyes she gritted her teeth and courageously faced that dark door.


"I have to do it!" – Leier closed her eyes as she thought– "The King is counting on me."


She took a deep breah, steeling her heart for the mission as she knew what was at stake and the importance of her actions. She had to succeed, or her brothers and sister might lose their lives. That's why, with a determined stride, Leier made her way to the sewer mouth, stepping over those disgusting vestiges.


When she was about to crawl into the tunnel, she took out a small maps, her fingers tracing the intricate tunnels that would lead her into the city, into the core of this war. She was confirming again the right ways. Without a second thought, Leier got inside the tunnel.


The sewages were dark, damp, and reeked of the filth that flowed through them. Leier had to hold back the urge to vomit as she strode through the putrid water, where some were frozen and some were still in liquid form, thanks to the warming environment. But, she had to keep moving forward, no matter what.


Not long after she got into the sewages, sounds of an intense water sounded as the tunnels slightly trembled with the soldiers' heavy steps above her.


"The battle has begun!" – Leier thought as she rushed, already accustomed with the situation. She just wanted to accomplish her mission. – "I need to go faster!"


A few minutes later, after tens of turns and squeezing through some tight tunnels, Leiter could finally see a narrow gap with ladders that stretched upwards appeared in front of him. It was one of the places used by the maintenance personal to clear the way. 


"It's here!" – Leier murmured, knowing that the battle on the surface has escalated and was reaching the apex.


She carefully began to ascend the ladders, careful to not make any noises that could echo across the tunnel and reach the defender's ears. Although the battle outside was chaotic and loud, Leier wasn't going to put the mission at risk.


At a slow pace, she reached the lid in a question of seconds, feeling the vibrations and hearing the sounds to confirm that no one was approaching before she decided to open it. Peering around, she was in a tight alley, from where she could see the soldier's moving rapidly from one side to another, but mostly in the direction of the main gate, where Henry led his army to attack.


Leier decided to seize the opportunity and got out of the tunnel. The chaos was so intense that no soldier cared for the extra pair of feet left on the snow, following right behind them. It didn't take long for Leier to see the stone walls filled with archers, crazily shooting their arrows towards the invaders.


A cold glint permeated Leier's eyes. Her mission was right in front of her.
