Irritation

"They are retreating... Why?" asked the Emperor quietly. He could see the enemy troops retreating, but they also let the lower-rank soldiers keep fighting so the Knights could leave the war.

Do they want to rest for today?

Heinrich's Raven flew towards the Emperor and landed on his wrist.

[Your Majesty, I heard there's a problem on the other side, but I'm not sure what. I can't get close.]

"Good work. This news alone is enough for now.”

The Emperor drew his sword and raised it high into the sky. He made a burst of blue which meant an order to retreat for a moment and take the injured for treatment to the rear.

Then, the Emperor waved his sword swiftly to the right and forward, signalling all the war commanders to remain on standby in case of further attacks.

"Can't you spread the message to all the commanders at once with your birds?" asked the Emperor.
