Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

Dainn is drawing some red dots at Canterlot castle. The king of the country wants to take control of the capital of the Canterlot along with the Sisters because they are the ones who control the sun and the moon.

When the caribou is done planning, a soldier comes inside and bows to him. "Your Majesty. We have the important thing to report."

Dainn stands up and asks. "What is that important?"

The soldier takes out the paper and gives it to him. "It is a long story. I can't tell but give you this paper."

Dainn nods and the soldier is coming out. The caribou starts to read the paper. The paper is about Changelings trying to invade Canterlot but they failed, so Celestia decided to increase the defense by using the spell shield around the capital. Dainn just shakes his head as he is confident about his mind-controlling spell because nothing will cure this spell.

The scaled griffin comes inside the room and sees his king laughing. The griffin asks. "Why are you laughing?"

"Dark Razor, come here." Dainn gives him the paper. " You should see this thing. It makes me laugh a lot."

Dark Razor takes and reads the paper. The griffin sighs and reports. "Your Majesty, this kind of spell can deactivate our spell pole. I ordered one of my soldiers to try to plug this pole near their capital and it was deactivated immediately."

Dainn stops laughing and asks. "You're serious, right?" The griffin nods and Dainn stands up. "How!? Our spell can't be dispelled like that."

"I just ask one of them and they said that someone called 'The Black Mage' create this kind of spell."

"What!?" Dainn rubs his chin. "We should capture him or her immediately."

"Sorry, but we got no information about her." Dark Razor shakes his head. "It's spread like a rumor though, but no one in Equestria knows where is she."

"Pointless." Dainn hisses. "This is pointless. I have a plan to invade that bitch's country but something stops us by an explosion. Now, this? Since when female creatures are that talented."

"You should calm down my King." Dark Razor pats Dainn's shoulder as the king nods and sits down. The scaled griffin takes out another paper. "So, what will we do with Arlaka? I heard from general Soak that they are being attacked by the bandit for five days now."

Dainn laughs. "The thing is... there are only 500 soldiers attacking that castle, and we have 1000 soldiers. How can they capture that city? Plus, that city is not important so we can leave it to that yak."

"I see. Maybe you're right." The scaled griffin sighs. "How about we have a drink? My treat."

"Oh... I want to. I'm just finished my work." Dainn stands up and the duo heads to the club.

Trevor is lying on the table. He just has to learn how to control the economy when ruling. The lesson is very tired but he doesn't feel boring because of Bell. The yellow caribou is nearly knocked down due to the hard lesson.

Aria pokes the yellow caribou by the halberd. Bell is trying to get up and sighs. "Look. I don't want to see you with that halberd. It makes me feel like I am going to die."

"We all will die if this base is exploited." Aria gives her a smug and turns to Trevor. "Anyway, I heard you give that eagle only 500 soldiers."

"That's all I can give." Trevor sighs. "I can't give her more since I am recruiting soldiers."

"I hope that eagle can take that castle." Aria turns around. "That castle is the gold mine, but that king is missing it."

"But I heard that they got 1000 soldiers to defend." Bell takes the paper. "And I know that we need more soldiers than that to capture the castle." Aria pats her head and the yellow caribou slaps the old mare's hoof away. "Hey. What are you doing?"

"You are easy to pat. That's all." The old mare is going to pat Trevor but the brown caribou slaps her hoof away. "Oh man, you are not easy to pat."

"After terrifying me and Bell in 3 hours, so no." Trevor stands up. "So... can you share with us about your... previous life? I and Bell are always curious about your past."

"You believe that story?" Aria laughs out loud. "Come on, you shouldn't believe anyone that easy."

"Yeah, I don't believe someone who obviously lying in front of my face." Trevor glares at the old mare as Aria is silent. The brown caribou continues. "First, no pony has your kind of name. If you are a griffin or some creature else, I can see your previous life is a lie."

"Then blame my mother." Aria gives him a smug. "She is the one who names me that."

Trevor puts his face closer to the old mare's face. "I remember your mother named you Sugarcube, right? Sabrina already tells me that."

"Fine." Aria huffs. "I will tell you a little, but not this time. You will need some rest."

Trevor rolls his eyes and the duo walks out of the room. The brown caribou teases. "See you later, cat. I hope you have another 7 lives to live." Aria throws the book at him as Trevor quickly closes the door. The caribou duo giggles and heads to the bar to relax.

Soak is reading Dainn's reply letter. The yak is very frustrated when he doesn't agree to send more soldiers to defend this castle. After breaking some stuff around his room, the yak takes a deep breath to calm down.

The yak doesn't know what Silver is planning. Her soldiers keep attacking this castle for 5 days around but doing nothing, except yesterday. She had pushed the soldiers to attack the gate even though the musket team is in the position. When his soldiers shot at them, he saw that the bullet couldn't go through their armor.

Today, Soak sees many soldiers who want to run away from this defensive position. Lucky that he sees it and stops them. The yak sighs in frustration because the controlling spell doesn't affect their courage or their morale.

Silver is watching them from far away in the castle. The eagle sees their soldiers are not very well due to the continuous attack. The eagle grins as she heads to the base to grab a weapon from her world.

Ox sees the eagle walking down and yawns. "I just ask you one thing."

"You can ask." Silver turns to the minotaur. "We have a lot of free time anyway."

"Why did you keep attacking and then retreat?" Ox rubs her chin. "Our soldiers want to capture this castle already."

"Remember we are only half of their soldiers." Silver looks at the castle. "I want to reduce our injured. Anyway, you should be going. We will do that again, and then we will capture this castle tonight."

"... I don't know. But seem useless when I attack them again in the noon." Ox looks at the castle door. "I mean, we can capture this immediately, not waiting for the night."

"What if Dainn sends the reinforcement to the castle." Silver turns to the minotaur. "If Dainn starts the reinforcement to here, he will lose many hours to come here. From what I calculated, he will arrive here in the afternoon."

"I see." Ox huffs. "Our soldiers are wanting to capture this castle right now. Maybe I can persuade them to wait for the night."

"Anyway, is everything ready?"

Ox takes the note and gives it to the eagle. "Everything is ready. I don't know what are you going to do with them."

"You will see in the night."

Soak is trying to sleep but he can't because he doesn't know when that eagle will attack him again. The yak sighs in frustration as that eagle keeps annoying him. Suddenly, he feels something is not right as he quickly runs out of the room and sees his soldier.

When he is looking outside the castle and sees the fog thickening. He feels weird and looks at the sky. The black clouds seem to come here. Soak takes the binoculars and sees the pegasi are pushing the cloud here.

Soak commands the soldiers. "Prepare the musket. They are going to disable our firearm." The yak sees that the minotaurs are shaking their hand and yawns. Soak asks. "What's wrong?"

The minotaur coughs. "I can't sleep due to the attacking."

Soak realizes what Silver is trying to do. The soldiers start shooting at the pegasi but they can go through their shield due to the distance.

Soak looks downside and sees the eagle standing and looks at the yak. Silver asks. "Surrender now. We have you surrounded."

"No way. I won't surrender until the end."

"I know you will say that." Silver turns away and walks into the fog. "But you will change your mind." The eagle disappears and many soldiers slowly go forward as the fog comes to them.

Soak commands his soldiers to prepare the arrow. His soldiers start shooting arrows at Silver's soldiers but the soldiers in the fog keep moving slowly. Soak feels something is not right and orders not to shoot the arrows, despite the Silver's soldiers moving toward them.

When the soldiers move out of the fog, the soldiers realize that are just hay figures shaping like creatures. The figure comes together at one spot and they stop. Silver walks out of the fog as the rain starts falling. In the rain, the eagle looks at the castle and nods.

Silver takes out the speaker. "You should surrender now. Nothing you can win here."

"And you don't need the speaker." Soak throws the spear at the speaker. Silver sees it is shattered by the spear and shakes her head. The yak feels the rain is falling hard. Soak looks at the eagle. "What is all of this? You can't even mind attacking this city."

"Are you sure about that?" Silver snaps her feathers and all of the hay figures exploded, creating a large hole in the castle walls. Her soldiers start rising from the ground and run into the hole and charge. Soak is surprised and looks at the eagle as Silver smiles. "Your soldiers are exhausted. I know it very well because they don't have enough time to rest and sleep."

Soak looks inside the castle and sees that his soldiers are slaughtered by the enemy easily. His soldiers are trying to fight back but due to lack of sleep, they fight back very weak. Soak kneels down and shakes his hoof. Silver quickly waves her wings to shoot feathers. It kills the soldiers around the yak.

Silver lands in front of him and smiles. " You should surrender already."

Soak balls his hoof. "That's .... that is what you are aiming for, right?"

"Actually, I could attack you yesterday but didn't sure that Dainn will send you reinforcement or not." Silver shakes her head. "After losing this battle, I assume that you have no place to return even if you manage to survive."

"Then just kill me." Soak yells at the eagle. "I have nothing to tell you."

"Kill you?" Silver puts her claw under his chin. "I have to gather the information from you." The eagle takes the dagger from Soak's belt. "And don't think about killing yourself. You have more value than you think."

Soak looks inside the castle. The yellow armored soldier easily kills the red armored soldiers as the yak feels helpless. Silver puts her left wings on his shoulder. The castle has been captured.
