Chapter 23: Supplies.

Eric, akane, timmothy, and all 6 of the brothers were slowly riding horses on their way to lulu's palace

"You said they are named ahrim verac dharok torag guthan and karil?" said eric. The brothers nodded. "Interesting names, and fancy armour you have there."

They continued to ride unpaved road to the palace, birds were out and about, you could see a squirrel here, and there, but nothing too interesting was happening today.

Once they made it to the palace gates the guards didn't stop them, they let them right in and so the 9 walked inside the palace and to the dining hall, which was fairly massive, beautiful gold statues lined the walls along with assorted pictures and tapestries. They were all served nice hot tea, from the taste of it, it even had some sugar!

Lulu joined them shortly after they sat down and she spoke the first words. "As you all know, we need hekako to be reinforced, refortified and resupplied. And for your first duties you're merely to escort my convoy from here, to the village, it will be a long trip, but it will be well worth it, once you get there assure the workers can build without being killed. Is that understood?"

Eric looked at the table for a moment before eyeing lulu and saying "Why not go ahead and make an assault directly on the fortress? we out number them and we can have a few rams built once we get there."

Lulu said through a very 'Matter of fact' voice "Because, it needs to be done, we would be doing this even if the zamorakians weren't here. And you are a mercenary, you are supposed to obey without question, now, round your troops togather and get going."

Nothing else was said, they quickly walked out and torag mumbled. "Touche.."

The convoy moved slowly, all of the wagons were being pulled by oxen, all of the wagons had at least two of the fremennik soldiers in each wagon, The rest of them marched behind the wagons. The brothers rode horses beside the first wagon with eric akane and timmothy riding inside of the first one. And not much happend.

They were about halfway to the village when a lowtoned growling could be heard, karil began looking around, he spotted his old enemies, dark elves. "Ahrim, directly to your west, there is 2 elves, riding something, take care of that." ahrim smiled and unleashed a gust of wind, sending the elves and the beast flying into trees, snapping the elves right in half.

All hell broke lose dozens more of these elves bursted through the forest, riding darkbeasts "Keep the convoy moving at all costs, DO NOT STOP!" yelled timmothy. each beast had two riders, one with a bow, the other mainly just controlled the beast, but also carried a crystal halberd. The driver of the first wagon was not only shot by a crystal arrow, but shortly after he was eaten by a darkbeast, timmothy took control of the wagon while eric and akane rushed to help against the monsters.

Torag pulled his meteor hammer and was able to swing it a great distance, he flicked it perfectly, causing it to wrap around the neck of one of the archers, he then pulled him down to the ground uncoiled it and swung it again, this time, flattening his face.

Dharok demounted and began wrestling with the darkbeats, swinging them about and with every scratch, he began growing immensly in strenght.

Some of the Fremennik warriors had finally managed to get into the battle, but the elves seemed to be coming in a nonstoping flow out of the forest and the battle raged on furiously.

Suddenly, the sky grew bright, oh hell it was a volley of crystal arrows, a few ox fell over, the men quickly jumped out of the wagon and pulled it themselves out of the rain of fire, meanwhile the fremennik warriors, although armoured well, just couldn't stand up to the hail of arrows from the blasted elves.

A darkbeast charged eric, he grabbed an axe from one of the dead warriors bodies and quickly gave it a toss, killing the beast instantly, the elves ran at him but with one sweep of his mighty blade, he ended their lives.

Akane shouted to ahrim. "Destroy the whole forest if you have too, just kill them!" ahrim grinned, he lifted up his arms spun his staff around and slammed it into the ground, the a large portion of the forest froze over, he then held his arms out on either side and stomped on the ground with one foot infront of him, all of the frozen trees and animals and elves shattered into bits and pieces.

The elves, needless to say, began retreating, the convoy for the most part was intact and it was one more glorious victory for the brothers. Or was this whole thing just a distraction, verac wondered..

Chapter 24: ...Darn

The convoy was finally starting to make it to the village without anymore harrassment from the elves. But sadly, verac was right, the whole thing was a distraction, the village was mainly a crisp, it'd be fortifying rubble, mostly. A man basicly drug his right leg as he tried to get closer to the brothers. "Help. Help has finally come.. you must.." the man began coughing violantly. "You must.. protect the cropfields... they haven't burnt them... yet" the man began wheezing.

The man fell to the groud. Torag examined him, "He's dead." he announced. A woman who was chard and had a few patches of missing skin (Probably due to burning) approached the 6 as the convoy began unloading.

"They attacked too swiftly, our militia couldn't even get prepared in time, and they seemed to pull torches from out of their.. anyway this was merely a raid, they'll be back shortly, they only left because they couldn't carry anything else out of our grainstores.. i've been pointing everyone away from the villager until this blows over, and be warned, the warriors you will soon face are no mere men.." she then left as quickly as the came.

Verac said "Well you heard her, we should get ready." "ALL MEN PREPARE FOR COMBAT!" verac shouted loudly, then a few wagons down you could hear a man screaming "ALL MEN PREPARE FOR COMBAT!" And then a few wagons down you heard the same.

They had around 10,000 men, no walls to hide behind, no towers to snipe from, and the terrian war barren and thus no way for any gureilla combat, it was going to be an all out battle.

Eric shouted "PREARE FOR SWINE ARRAY!" men began sheathing swords and pulling spears from out of the wagons. "Guthan! guthan come here." guthan slowly walked over to eric.

"What?" guthan asked.

"You're perfect for leading the men into combat this time, you're properly armed and everything, now here's the plan.." the brothers timmothy and akane leaned in.
