Chapter 7: Strahnbrad's Defense

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Arthas and Twilight were now the age of twenty four, Twilight in heavy armour reminded Arthas of heavy armour war horse just with armoured wings and a horn. They arrived at the outskirts of the villages near Strahnbrad. Uther smiled “Welcome Prince Arthas, Lady Twilight. The men and I are honoured by your presence.”

Arthas frowned “Uther there is no need formalities, I hope I don‘t have to be king for a long time” he then smiled “It’s good to see Uther.”

Twilight nodded “I’m not a lady, I’m a Paladin of an unknown species that is similar to a horse so no. Still it is good to see you again Uther.”

Uther laughed “It’s good to see the two of you again, I must admit it was a surprise to see you here Twilight.”

Twilight nodded “There were strange creatures up north that reminded of corpses, they had launched a few raids up north and then vanished without a trace. I’m down here partially to inform you plus as one of the few who has experience with such creature I am to be part of the response team.”

Uther frowned “That’s troubling.”

Arthas shook his head “That’s not important right now, our scouts have confirmed an Orc encampment is over the next ridge and worse they are planning on attacking Strahnbrad.”

Uther frowned “I did have suspicions of them having a camp but to think they were launching an attack…” He then shook his head “I need to prepare for the assault on the Orc encampment, can I trust you two to protect Strahnbrad while I begin the assault on the Camp?”

Twilight smiled “We will show these that they can’t harm our people.”

Arthas smiled “Twilight’s right, we will show them!”

Uther laughed a bit before nodding “Meet me at the Orc camp once Strahnbrad is secure, and both of you be careful.” Uther ran off to begin the assault.

Twilight frowned “Arthas I suggest you gather what forces you can, I’ll prepare the defenders for the attack and get the civilians to evacuate.” Twilight took off into the air flying towards the town.

She landed in the middle of the town, several footmen the ground troops of the alliance wearing heavy used steel armour and weapons as well as they’re captain who wore a gilded version of their equipment. The Captain saluted “It is honour to have a Paladin our midst, what may we do for you milady.”

Twilight frowned “First call me Twilight, I’m not one for fancy titles . Secondly an attack force of Orcs plan to strike at at the village from the north, I wish for you to stand with me until Prince Arthas arrives.”

The Captain bellowed as he commanded his footmen “You heard her, move out and defend the civilians!” he then pointed to three people carrying picks and hammers “Set up some cannon towers now to the north!”

She and the captain walked to the northern entrance to watch as a scout tower was constructed by the peasants and the began being outfitted with cannons while the peasants are building another scout tower across from it “How does that work, those towers just upgrade themselves?!”

The Captain laughed “All our structures are designed to do that by the Kirin Tor, it is really helpful for quick set up of bases.”

Twilight nodded “Very well, now let’s prepare for the attack!” Soon behind two cannon towers ten footmen, Twilight and the Captain stood at a ready. They watched as a force of fifteen Orc grunts, ten Orc raiders and the Orc Slave Master charged towards the town, the cannon towers rotated delivering a barrage of fire that sent ten grunts and seven raiders to their death. Twilight rushed forward her blade in one hoof, she cleaved a raider in half before flying toward three grunts cutting them into pieces with rapid swings.

The Orc Slave Master charged at Twilight, Twilight turned around to see him just about to swing his mighty axe. Twilight dodged the swing before cutting his head off, she then heard a shout “Twilight!”

She saw Arthas and his footmen were standing amongst the remaining defenders who were taking out the last few Orcs. Arthas frowned as she flew over, he groaned “Why didn’t wait for me, I missed out on a good fight.”

Twilight bopped him on the nose with a grin “You took too long, beside it shouldn’t take you that long to get here.”

Arthas frowned “I had to get a ledger form some bandits and save some kids from Gnolls.”

Twilight laughed “Well you did some fighting on your own.” she then grinned “Let’ meet up with Uther then we can get some proper fighting in.”

Arthas nodded with his over grin “I agree let’s go!” The footmen and captain blinked as the two Paladins rushed off into the distance eager for the next fight.
