ALORA EMBRY

"Let's now start."

"Yes, My Lady." When we all sat down, I take the map in front of me and circle the seaport and the island near it.

"This is the seaport where are residing and this small island that is not too far from the seaport was a perfect spot to execute our plan."

"The island, My Lady? If we are going to hide there, they will notice it for they have mages with them."

"I know. That is why we need Michonne, you probably know how to make a barrier right?"

"Yes, and if I were to cover the island... it is possible."

"Good. Then what about an illusion island?"

"Yes, I can also do that. Hmm, a fake one I think I will be able to maintain its figure for a week."

"I knew it you were this capable."

"You're flattering me, My Lady."

"Now this is my plan. Michonne here will copy the island and she will also make a barrier there and by that, the fake island will be completely hidden from the enemy. I will now say my forgiveness to Michonne and to the five knights here tonight. Michonne, you need to make fakes that will fit into the island and put them into the island while you five will hide at the illusion island."

"What if they found out that there was a fake island they will die there. And Michonne won't be able to do fake knights and control them all. You were just risking their lives."

"Sir Ryker, I know it sounds ridiculous. I was putting on too much burden on Michonne's shoulder but we need to make use of her. It was heartless of me, but we don't have that much mage on our empire. Michonne was capable of doing it and I will do everything for me to be at the borders as soon as possible."

"I will do it, making an illusion island a barrier for it, making fake knights I can also do it. Don't estimate me, My Lords, Lady Alora was right you all should make a use of me. put a word and I'll do it for you." I smiled at her and said my thanks.

"The illusion island must be placed at the back of the small island so when the enemy detects that there are living things on the island the knights will be able to hide at the fakes, they will be safe for there is a barrier. And when they were busy killing the fake knights you five will put some bombs on the ships and hide in the meantime until we finally arrive at the illusion island. The knights that were monitoring the ships will send a signal and we will be teleported there. Since they are busy killing the fakes, we will move forward and kill them all, they will think that the army forces were too much for them and they will retreat once again. But the bombs will stop them if they won't retreat the bombs will still explode and we will be able to annihilate them all. Fear not to the mages I will handle them, Michonne now then will remove the fakes and transport some of the enemies to our base where half of the knights are waiting."

"If the plan failed, what are we going to do?"

"Trust me on this one, My Lord. The victory is ours."

Michonne was able to do everything with the help of three mages, in that two days they were able to make fakes and an Illusion island. The knights that will reside on the Illusion island were already there and if everything is already set, they will blow a horn.

They didn't see that coming, we are able to suppress them. Even though they are resisting no one stop from attacking the enemy.

"Do not fear them we have countless mages on our side!" I laugh when I heard that, this time they do not choose to retreat and when the bombs explode at the same time, it made a huge impact that made the enemy flee from the sky down to the deep sea.

The one that was caught nearly won't be able to withstand that and will die in no time. And I was right because the most that were caught were mages. The barrier that they made to the knights faded and by that, they were now easily killed.

It was also a great opportunity for my cause with the help of Michonne and the other mage we killed them.

"We must retreat now!"

"Kill them!"

"Argh!!"

"This is for our Empire, kill everyone!"

"Yes!!" that time I thought of not having a minute of rest, everyone is putting their lives on this plan of mine. I was catching my breath as I shoot them, the smoke that was coming from the battleships, the sea was again covered with blood.

And I stood there, right in front of my eyes the last knight from Wren was beheaded. I frown and sigh at the sight in front of me.

We fought with them that lasted for two months, Wren was such ready to go to war with us because when I take down all of their Battleships, they immediately sent another batch. It was a tough battle but we won, and we defend the seaport successfully.

We lost many lives in a short time but it was not vain.

We are the victors.

"It finally came to an end." I sat on the ground and watch them cry, they were celebrating for we just won. But it was also heartbreaking to see some knights carrying their wounded and... dead comrades.

Michonne smiled at me and I nod at her.

"You did a great job."

"Thank you, My Lady." It was our last talk before she teleport us once again back to the seaport. The knights there were getting the dead bodies and putting them on the side. They were waving their hands at us with a big smiles on their faces.

I still remember back then when they all look helpless. I'm already done here I must go to the borders now. We take everyone back to the villages and the church sent Leticia to cure the wounded knights, I take a rest for a week and after that, they hold a small party for our victory.

We know it is still not the time to be happy since the war is still going on, but we can't help we just won by defending the port.

"It was thanks to Lady Alora's wise plan, cheers for our Lady."

"Everyone the plan was nothing if there is no Michonne and these brave knights!"

"Yes, cheers for them too."

"Cheers to us!" the next day I told everyone that I will head now to the borders.

"We will clean the port and stay here to monitor."

"Then I will take my leave now, I still need to go near the borders."

"Your so brave." I was surprised by that but then I nod at him.

"My Lady It's already time to leave."

"Thank you," I said that to Ryker and his brothers.

"See you soon, Lady Alora." I nod at them and we take the teleportation scroll, I was accompanied by two knights and I was shocked when I was teleported inside the barracks where my brother, Hayes, and others are having a meeting.

They point their swords at us and I was glad that they immediately recognize me.

"Alora?"

"It's good to see you again, Brother."

"What are you doing here?" they all look shocked but the most surprised was my brother.

"I want to talk to you, can we brother?"
