The Einvor camped right in front of their northern border for about two days waiting for orders from their commander in charge.

"My prince, don't you think we should be planning our moves by now."

"Don't worry, I have everything figured out. But before we do anything we have to scout ahead. I want the flying unit to do that. I want you to use about five gryphi, you should be concealed, make sure no one spots you."

"Should I go with them?" The head of the flying unit asked.

"Yes, this should be supervised by you. We will be wait for you before we make our first move so move out." He ordered him and he quickly got out and selected four men from the air unit and they all mounted their gryphus, a large creature with the body, tail, and hind limbs of a lion the head and wings of an eagle and an eagle's talons as its front feet.

"Concelo." The team leader yelled as they took off and cloaked themselves.

"General, I have a question for you." Albrecht turned to his second in command and the leader of the foot soldiers in the ground unit.

"Yes, my prince."

"Do we have a dragon?"

AT THE BORDERS OF NEVADOUR

"Sire, the scouts have arrived." One of King Audwin's commanding officers arrived near his carriage on his horse and  informed him.

"What have they found ahead."

"They have found the Hill, that's where we headed toward now."

"Good." He relaxed and smiled at his son. "This battle is going to be over before it even starts." He laughed.

"But sire, this vantage point is more closer to the empire than their country, how sure are you that they'll see us as a threat."

"We'll send them a message and don't worry and this is our best bet to win undoubtedly without losing any lives." He assured the commander. Some minutes later they were at the  Touran hill. They got down and began setting camp a few miles away from from the hill.

"Bring me the Einvor queen." He commanded one of his guards in the war tent and they obeyed without hesitation.

"Sire, here she is." They brought her in with her hands bounded behind her.

"Queen Ivana." He approached her and caressed her cheek. "Your son has declared war on us by keeping my daughter captive and he has ordered for your return. So you are going to deliver a message. You are going to tell your son that he should stand down and that if he is bold enough to go against us we will tear his kingdom apart as we've done to others and after we'll kill everyone he loves before we will finally tear him apart!" When he started speaking it was slow getting to the end of his speech he began shouting in her face and saliva drops spewed all over her face.  "Release her and give her a horse." The guards released her and took her outside.

"Now we wait." He sank into his chair with a smug on his face.

THE NORTHERN BORDERS OF EINVOR

"My prince, the scouts have arrived." One of the guards bursted into Albrecht tent where he was relaxing with Alexandria sleeping right beside him but with half of her body on him.

"Okay, let them meet me at the camp fire." He said as he got out of the bed.

"My prince, we have located the Alcheronian army." The air unit commanding officer approached Prince Albrecht as he walk toward the camp fire and walked with him in the camp fire's direction.
