Chapter 15: The War Begins

No one's Pov

At the training camps in Centoria, the integrity knights still train their armies for the coming war. Until Eldrie's dragon roar knowing that someone is coming which reveals Alice and Eydis came and landed with their dragons.

Eldrie: Mentor! I always believe in you!

Eldrie was going to say more until he notices Monarch is with Eydis being carried by her.

Monarch: Hello Eldrie...

Eldrie: Lady Alice, Eydis...

Timeskip

Alice: I just looked at the Eastern Gate. There's not much time before the gate falls and the enemy pushes through.

Eldrie: The enemy has about 50,000 troops, while we have just 3,000.
We gave them what training we could.

Alice: Where are the other integrity knights? From above, I only see seven outside.

Eldrie: You saw nearly everyone, then.

Alice: That's ridiculous! Including me and Eydis there should be 31 members of the order!

Eldrie: Surely you're aware, Lady Alice? Prime senator Chudelkin froze the knights in staisis, knights who showed symptoms of memory issues.
Ten of our numbers have failed to wake up from that art when we tried to thaw them out. At this time, 21 knights are awake. Four are watching over the cathedral and the capital.

Alice: That leaves us to be 13.

Eydis: Hey have you forgotten about me?

Monarch: That makes 14 now.

Eldrie: Our forces are already stretched too thin. And all the while, Lady Alice and Eydis...

Eldrie glance at Monarch while he was looking at him as well.

Eldrie: Do you two intend to shield that young man while you fight?

Alice/Eydis: Yes.

Eldrie: Sure Eydis can but... You mustn't, Mentor! Should you encumber yourself with such dead weight in battle, not only will it diminish the power of you sword, it could expose you to danger yourself!

Bercouli: Now don't get so worked up, Eldrie.

Alice, Eldrie and Eydis look to see that Bercouli was near them.

Bercouli: Hello, you two. You look a lot better that I expected. Am I wrong or have your cheeks in a little?

Eydis: Commander.

Alice: Uncle. It's been a long time.

Eldrie address Bercouli but he didn't say more, when Bercouli comes closer and looks at Monarch as he looks at him too.

Alice: Uncle...

Eydis: Commander?

Both Alice and Eydis became shock that they presume that Bercouli is going to kill Monarch, which they reach for their swords.

Bercouli: It's all right, you two.

The two girls calmed down as Bercouli breaths in and out when suddenly a invisible force impact between Alice and Eydis which was completely blocked.

Alice: U-Uncle...

Eydis: What was that?

Bercouli: Did you two just see that?

Alice and Eydis acknowledged that it happened like an instance. Which Bercouli tells the two girls he launched a incarnate projectile at Monarch that he stops it by his own willpower without flinching from it.
