TBATE X RETURNS

His Returns

Virion's pov:- our hideout have been discoverd i don't know how exactly but some people are saying tess is joined their side so may be she is the one who give information of of our shelter to alacryan soldiers but i don't believe them  i believe in my granddaughter she would never do such thing as for ellie and and madam asteras report i think she is being controlled by those alacryan and i think that the party has gone for in search of refuge had been captured and they sell out our information i don't know what to do we only have 2000 soldiers i can't even call them soldiers 30 % of them are normal civilian who live their life peacefully until those damn alacryan showed up i only have 4 lances Aya , Varay , Brion , Mica and it is clearly shown in previous battles that a single retainer is enough to hold his own against a lance and on top of that they are bringing 5 retainer 1 sytche and 20000 soldier just tenfold of our numbers   they clearly wanna wipe us out ones and for all and it is not like we can escape the teleportation gate made by rina can not transport this many people at once and i don't wanna split my forces when even we dont know what the other side hold and there is only exit or entrance out of this shelter and the alacryan soldiers are camping on entrance gathering their forces nothing is coming to my mind  Hey Brat what would you do if you were in my place ? Will you willingly sacrifice these people or surrender and let them become slaves huh?

"Commander virion what is the order sir," varay asked.

"Varay can you protect the civilians if I told you to," I said

"Is that an order sir ?" Varay asked

"No, I just wanna know your point of view I'm thinking to send those 30% civilians with you through the gate to send somewhere if my guess is correct there will not be any forces there because they gather 35% of their forces on our entrance I know those civilians can't do a thing in this I don't want them to be sacrificial pawn when we know we can't win this battle even after sacrificing them so why don't give them a chance of survival what is your opinion in this matter? " I said.

"Commander I'm thinking the same thing but in my place, I wanna send mica and I know a destination that will be well suited for this task" varay said

"Tell me what is your plan," I said

Varay told her plan to virion
Suddenly a smile formed on my face even in this tragic time if everything goes as we planned at least 30% of our people will survive
"I approve of the plan varay tell mica to gather civilians around the teleportation gate I will inform the other Lances and soldiers to prepare for battle," I said.

I'm standing in front of 1400 soldiers and 3 lances
"Soldier's it is always have been our duty to protect civilians our people and now we are going to do just that to protect or civilians we need our enemy attention on us we need to go out and show them who we are for dicathen and our people
FOR DICATHEN
FOR DICATHEN
PREPARE TO ENGAGE IN BATTLE"
I said.

  From the stage I see Ellie saying something to mica I make my way towards then I hear Ellie voice shouting at mica
"I'm ALSO A SOLDIER YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING TO RUNAWAY FROM THE BATTLEFIELD"

"what is going on here," I said

mica turned towards me I can see anger in Ellie's eyes I can't blame the child her father and brother are gone they both sacrificed themselves in this war and after recovering from art's death with help of tess they had gotten pretty close because of their love for Arthur but for what when she went on  the first mission with her she loses her what can I say this is why I'm staying here because wanna end this
"What is going on Ellie ?" I asked
