                            Meanwhile one the outskirts of the Equestrian border...

"Sir! The scouts reported that the Griffon settlement Torosis is ahead, but there is a canyon ahead of us and is blocking our passage there." One of the King's guard saluted whilst he told his king the news.

The King looked up from his chess board that was in the middle of the makeshift tent to stare into the guard's eyes. "Is that so?" Archimedes inquired.

"Y-yes sir and they also report that there is a small Griffon village just west of us but is no immediate threat." The Guard's legs were shaking a little as he spoke. Cloudy Skies always hated talking to the king because he fears he will will become angry and attack said king but ultimately fail as his corpse twitches on the floor as the rest of his blood is spilled to make a pool around his body, and yes he thinks way too much into it now that he thinks about it.

"Send a kill team there to get rid of it...and i want no survivors, we will go around the canyon due west and while that pitiful village is burning along with the bodies, i want all of the money we find as well as anything else useful to be stored." Archimedes said without hesitation and looked back at the chess board with a hoof on his goateed chin in thought, then he made a move which put his imaginary opponent into checkmate and smiled at the small victory.

"But...sir...they are of no threat, there is no need to do that. We can just go around peacefully." Cloudy looked concerned as he said this.

Archimedes smile faded in one instant then turned slowly with an un-amused expression on his face towards the now shaking body of the poor guard who just questioned his order.

"Are you questioning my judgement...Guard?" He spat out the sentence with malice VERY evident.

"N-n-no of course n-n-not sir i-i-i was m-merely suggesting it. I will round a kill team up r-right now my king." Cloudy then bowed shakily and left like an arrow leaving a bow.

"That's what i thought." Archimedes said to himself while he put the chess pieces back to their rightful place to begin another game of chess.

                                                                                                                                      

Two furry bodies flew right into a bush in the middle of the night.

"Is that it?" One of them spoke.

"I think so, i mean i don't see any other village out here....do you see any other village?" The second one spoke with much sarcasm.

"Ok ok....fine lets just get this over with, im hungry." Just as the first one said that his stomach growled.

The second one rolled his eyes. "Yeah.....I can see...er hear that."

The first one grinned sheepishly. "I'll go get the other's, wait here and don't do anything stupid."

"Ok MOM."

"Huh? Oh no you're mom isnt here right now....shes back at the camp sleeping in my cot." The first chuckled and flew off before he had to face the wrath of the second one.

The second one looked back at the village that they were suppose to raid, and was told to leave no survivors. "Bucking Berry Strong...(grumble grumble) gonna have his flanked kicked when he gets back that's for sure." Armored Guard's ears perked up at the sound of a crying baby. When he looked for the noise he finally spotted the mother trying to calm the little tike down through her window, he adopted a saddened look as he watched and thought how they were supposed to leave no one alive and when the king say's no one he means NO ONE, not even the children.

"I may kill the adults but Faust strike me down if i ever lay my hand upon a child, i may be a killer but i still have morals." He looked at the grass beneath his hooves as he thought about his own son back in Shoeston which was a small village a little bit south of Canterlot, not a big one mind you but still a nice village where everyone knows everyone.

"Oi Armored." A voice to his right said, which made him jump and almost scream bloody murder but thankfully due to training, didn't and was about to draw his sword when he saw it was only Berry.

"Dear Faust Berry, you scared me so bad even my soul was about to leave me due to fright....what the tartarus were you thinking, sneakin up on me like that. I could have killed you dang it."

Berry was still chuckling but then went serious face. "The rest of them are ready and the Captain wants us in the rank's, as of now the raid is commencing."

"Let's not keep the Captain waitin then eh?" Armored took flight with Berry in tow.

"You excited for this? I know i am!" Berry exclaimed while pumping his hooves in the air.

"Yeah...killing....so excited and i just can't hide it..." Armored deadpanned.

"Aww come on don't be like that i mean hey they started the war and its not like we are gonna kill the children....right?"

"When the king said leave no one alive...what do you think he meant by that Berry?" Armored looked over his...well armor padded shoulder to look at his dark green colored friend he knew since he began his training.

"I mean i don't know i guess kill the adults but come on....the kids? Do we really have to?" Berry wasn't much of a kid killer either albeit a little less so than Armored since he didn't have kids of his own.

"The King want's no one alive...he said so...but that doesn't me WE have to...just that everyone else has to." Armored thought to himself of how he should pray to Faust for the children to be safe under her watchful eye after the raid is all over.

Berry lost his usual smirk and put a saddened frown on instead. "Hey we're here and just in time." Berry looked at the pegasi in the sky (A/N i seriously did not mean to rhyme there i seriously didn't) who were in formation but stationary.

"Thank Faust you finally made it, i thought i was gonna fall and hit dirt for how long i've been flappin here." The Captain of the 17th Pegasi Wing said to Armored and Berry as they looked just the tiniest bit scared.

"Sorry it took so long sir, it won't happen again." Armored saluted and stood, as much as he could while in flight, at attention.

The Captain just nodded at this. "Yes i hope so or else im going to have you do 200 WING push-up's for the next week." He sternly said.

Armored and Berry gulped at the punishment they would receive if they delayed them again.

"Get to your formation...we leave in 2 minutes." The Captain pointed a hoof at their respective formation in the rear...away from the children slaying teams (or so they just now called them) up front and released a breath of relief.

"Right away sir!" They said in unison while saluting and went to the rear formation to well.....form up.

The Captain flew his way into the front of everyone (i guess everypony but whatever *shrugs*) and put on a stern face.

"Alright gents this is it, get ready to kill, kill, and kill." This earned a few snickers from the soldier's.

"We will fly high where the Griffon's can't see us then when i give the order....kill anything you see and when its all done... look for survivors and kill them to. The King said NO ONE is to survive and i want to make sure he isn't disappointed...do you flying parasites want to disappoint the King?" He asked questioningly.

They all shook their heads and hastily said 'no'. The Captain smiled. "Good, that's what i like to hear, now MOVE OUT!!!."

The sound of wings flapping filled the air as they ascended into the cloudy sky. It was 5 minutes into the flight when the captain halted them right above the village. He lowered his voice so the griffon menace wouldn't hear him. "Alright on my go, we will attack. Ok here we go. 3...2...1....ATTACK!!!!!" The 100 Royal Guard kill team descended onto the surprised griffon village. The sound of flesh being torn open was everywhere, as well as the smell of fresh blood filled everyone's and everypony's nostrils in this gruesome massacre. Scream's of pain and suffering filled the ears of everyone and everything.

The surprised griffon militia stood no chance against the well prepared and organized pony kill team, many were gutted, decapitated, some tried to flee but were only met with arrow's in their back's. The griffon elder tried to flee as well and with some griffon guards but a squad of archer's made sure no one escaped or lived.

The Captain was fighting a militia griffon when an arrow flew through the air and hit the griffon's neck, which gave the Captain enough time to stab his sword into the poor griffon. After the Griffon fell in a state of fear and shock the Captain finished him off with another 3 stabs to the heart and looked over to where that arrow came from and saw Armored with a bow and saluting to him before he went back into the fray.

The sound of babies crying and children screaming for their parents were drowned out by the screaming of the Griffon adults being slaughtered, after 15 minutes into the massacre, all that was left were the remaining children that survived the initial attack and were currently hiding either behind their parents corpses or were inside their houses hiding in cabinets and other various things, but were ultimately killed like the rest of their fellow Griffon's.

Armored and Berry were true to their word and did not lay a hoof on the children but it still broke their hearts hearing the youngs ones crying then the next second it going silent. Armored went so far as to shed a few tears for them, Berry looked saddened but didn't cry like his friend. They finally got out of their bad mood and started rummaging through houses with some Guard's doing the same, searching for anything useful as well as money that the king wanted to add to his ever growing treasury.

                                                                                                                                      

                                             10 minutes later...

"Alright so we lost 23 men and the Griffon's....well they lost everyone. Alright men we got everything we could get so lets head on back and we'll bury the fallen when we come back, so get ready to move out in an hour."

"Sir yes sir!" The Guard's sounded in unison.

"I need 2 Guard's to fly ahead of us and report to the king of what transpired today, actually...Armored Guard, Berry Strong!!!" The Captain shouted. The 2 guards galloped towards the Captain and saluted.

"Yes sir!" They said at the same time.

"I need you two to go and report to the king, here are the papers saying of everything that happened here...now fly and fly fast!" He handed (hooved i guess?) them the papers which Armored put in his saddlebag. They saluted one last time before taking flight towards their camp.
