Curtis wore tattered, weathered clothes that the men found for him, to make his look like he had travelled far. Curtis was nervous, anxious, even scared, he knew that if this failed he would have a high chance of dying, but he had to try, to was for the sake of the land. He walked up to the gates and started hammering and shouting past the door.
"HEY,HEY, let me in, I come with a fire warning, the Red Knights are back!!!!" Curtis shouted as the men swiftly opened the gate for him. They escorted him to the generals office where Curtis stood in-front of many men he had never met before, most of which were young and which Curtis thought was ridiculous, shouldn't men have experience before becoming commanding officers?
"Who are you?" A young general asked condescendingly, not even caring enough to look him in the eye.
"I am William, I am a former Red Knight, I deserted the army to come and warn you of their plans!" He shouted as the men raised their guard.
The general then gained the ability to look Curtis in the eye.
"You, a Red Knight?" He said jokingly "You look like no more than a latrine janitor." The general laughed.
As Curtis was blinded with anger and he jumped at the general grabbing him by the collar and holding him up against the wall, the other men pulling out their weopons, the smug generals face lit up with terror.
"Listen to me kid, you are no general, your barely old enough to be a solider in the army, and I will not stand here and take your insults, while the Red Knights plan the destruction of the kingdoms, either you listen to me, OR SHUT UP AND BRING ME SOMEONE ELSE TO TALK TO!!" Curtis states as the young general attempted to speak, his voice stumbling in fear.
"L..let me go, and I will see what I can do." He said stuttering in terror.
And Curtis put him down, the young general then signalling the other men to stand down, he then agreed to listen to Curtis.
"So what are the Red Knights planning." The general asked.
Curtis then gave all the information to the generals that they asked for, remembering all of the rehearsed answers that the men had given him, the generals then tried to decide what they would do. It was a tough decision, a man claiming to be a former Red Knight comes to the kingdom shouting his lungs off about the Red Knights, there was much to be decided.
The generals then came to a decision.
"Alright, we'll send a platoon there to destroy that contraption you speak of, if it's not real, then we will execute you, understood?" The general explained, contradictory to what Curtis thought would happen, he thought that he had blown it, and failed. Things seemed to be going his way.
Curtis was given a room to live in for a while, until the Red Knights were dealt with, his next goal was to contact the rest of The Order of Jade to let them know that he was alright.
He snuck out of the kingdom through the sewers and met up with the men in a secret location where they had set up camp.
"Curtis, your alright, how did it go." Valor asked relieved that he was ok.
"They believe me, they're sending a platoon after the Red Knights fortress." Curtis told them as the men's faces lit up. They were all amazed with the result, the Red Knights actions weren't being fired back at them.
"Finally those scum are finally getting what's coming to them, I'll enjoy watching them burn." Bjorik yelled, and the other men agreed.
The attack was scheduled to take place in 3 days, all Curtis had to do now was hold out long enough.
The men had almost fulfilled their destiny's.
