Why do we Fight? - Volume I - For Honor

Chapter 17 (Part II): Valkenheim in Winter

New ideas for new stories just kept dancing in my head to the point that I cannot properly focus on this fanfic :/. But finally, I managed to finish this just the day before New Year comes! Also, do you people want me to create a library for the characters? Lemme know if you do and I'll consider making one. :P

I was once a biased writer like you, then I took a disclaimer to the knee :P:

I do not, in anyway, own For Honor or its franchise. If I did, I would make a celebration for this fanfic reaching 2k reads.

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader."

- Somewhere nearby, General POV... -

??? 1: "So... It has begun..."

??? 2: "Indeed it has, my friend. Apollyon sure knows how lead her men, by putting them right in front of the colossus if Vikings."

??? 3: "There was no other way, Vorshylevski. It's very much impossible to approach Valkenheim's border undetected. We even had to use the distraction the attack is making just for us to get here safely."

Three figures are currently standing on high ground, nearly a mile away from the ensuing chaos as they watch flaming boulders fly and drop down towards the Blackstones.

They have a small force of Knight with them as well, with varying color schemes and tabards, signifying that they are composed of mixed troops from different other Legions.

Vorshylevski: "Still, Lady Peltaris. An attack like this is very much bound to fail if no other assets are available other than manpower."

Lady Peltaris?: "You are not wrong. However, if what we are hearing about this 'Lightshield Cohort' is true, then this would take a whole day at most."

??? 1: "I agree. The Cohort's Knights are some of the best and organized groups I have seen in Ashfeld. Hervis Daubeny could learn a thing or two from that Warden. What was his name again?"

Vorshylevski: "It's (Y/n) (L/n), milord. Not much is known about him so far, aside that he has been a member of the Blackstone Legion for years uncertain."

Lady Peltaris?: "He must be a devoted supporter of Apollyon then."

??? 1: "If he is, then he and this Cohort are threats to us..."

??? 4: "Are you sure about that? I did not sense anything ill from the young Knight you are referring to." Someone says from behind the trio, who appears to be the mysterious figure (Y/n) and co. met back at the path to the Darkrose sanctuary. It's Arashicage.

??? 1: "Arashicage, my friend, he is a Blackstone, and you should know that Blackstones are known for their untrustworthy and deceptive, ways if you would."

Arashicage: "That may be true, but I doubt that Amber would even be friends with him if he was as like you view the Legion in general."

??? 1: "Hm, point taken. But I won't be taking any chances on him."

Arashicage: "Suit yourself."

There was a moment of silence that occurred between the people aside from the occasional shuffling of men behind them,  before someone else breaks it.
