War!

1 Year past since the events at meadow valley. during this time I order an army of 1000 soldiers on raids and sack nearby settlements to retrieve more slaves, I lead of army of 5000 south to interfere in the war between teclis and the sentinels of a xeti. teclis is has won 3 battles against the lizardmen taking settlements to north and south of the turtle isles. I sent spies to scout the area perfect for an ambush as I set camp north of the forbidden jungle. " my prince there an army of 1000 lizardmen mixed up skinks and sauros warriors and 1 stagodon led by a skink chief coming over the ridge south of here". he said

"have the men ready we march I intend to take these scalley bastards by surprise" walking out I order the death hag guarding my tent "inform mother to be careful teclis isn't blood hall" bowing towards me she left in a hurry. climbing my black dragon I mind-controlled a while back after raiding for more slaves she attacked a dark elf village on dragon isle.

leading my army south and setting a war camp a couple of meters and summoning my war council entering the tent with the captain of battalions as I don't require commanders to lead an army.

"I want shades on both sides of the ridge to give them no cover whatsoever and focus fire on the stegadon."

"I want dread knights on the flank charging in as soon as I and the infantry hit the front of their forces"

"I want sisters of slaughter ready to kill their skink chief as soon as you see him"

"magic won't be used in this fight due to terrain"

"got that! then let's go time waits for no one"

climbing the black dragon we head towards our place of ambush. seeing the ridge in sight I ordered my soldiers to get in position. the infantry and I are in open wait for the lizards to cross the ridge. the excitement fills my body and blood lust seems to seep out of me black ark corsairs to my right and left anticipate a good fight I have my shield and halberd drawn. the ground vibrates looking where coming from it seems the dread knights are moving into position. lizards marching over the ridge as I wait till they notice and they do their speed increases as their charge at us "hold sound the horn!" I yelled and the horn goes off my first battle begins the shades start firing their crossbows and reloading to shoot another volley I hoped off selris the name I gave to my black dragon. " take care of that stegadon for me" I said getting in front of mine infantry line as their swords are drawn from their wast. "get ready men here they come" I yell once again putting my shield in front of my body and halberd drew to my right close enough they came I yelled "charge my drucii" I immediately block the first income attack and parried my left and swung in front of me killing two skink cohort and continued my slaughter. the lizard kept coming and knowing my men were getting tired I decided to cast a spell called "the burning head" I said and fire lit up in front of me at least the size of a stegadon and it started burning through the lizard but I didn't stop their cast another called "blade wind" blades called upon the wind turned sharp as blades a started cutting through the line souras warriors. lizards morale has taken a hit that they went on a rampage seeing the situation getting worse I called upon a chill wind to block their paths and ordered my men to sound the horn I need the cav here immediately the horn went off and I see cavalry coming toe ridge and their flank and its seems seleris finished the stegadon the skink chief was and the now the souros warriors were left. after getting the headcount of my men 673 wounded 200 dead is what I received. surprised at how little men lost but it doesn't matter. " cure the wounded and burn the dead". after winning the battle I decided to continue south and capture the remaining settlement of the lizardmen and meet up with mom.

My first war won with minimal losses I control all of the forbidden jungle and copper desert destroying the setinal of xeti. once the lizardmen received the news of the factions destruction Itza won't standstill but I have nothing worry about since they're at war with pestilence.

after discussing my plan with mother from attacking two positions one fleet attacks from the north coming from the black ocean and the second fleet comes from the western golf of lustria leaving teclis the option of splitting his forces into two our scout estimate their forces were 7000 leaving us to fight 3500 each but that doesn't matter what matters is which army is teclis which worries me. my mother may be a badass fighter but up against a mage like teclis makes me fear for her life. getting on the ships I made sure to bring extra cavalry to keep the archers at bay. heading west towards mud isle a settlement south of turtle isle. while mother takes the settlement of zikuat.
