Trant and Jacky went upto the rocks to see what those men were upto. They had seen them 4 days ago in the forest. They were almost 2000 in number with a palanquin leading the front. Most were soldiers with swords in their hands and covered with mail. They were heading for the Adders Camp. Jacky and Trant were sitting on the rock high up from where the soldiers were continuing on their marching.
"What the fuck? I thought that Myriada was ours eh Jacky?"
"No Fuck. We are trapped. We've got to go to the Camp now. But how? We cant go through them without the soldiers seeing us. "
"I dont know. Lets wait here till they pass."
"What? Are you mad Trant? They will reach the camp before us if we wait here. They are only 8 miles away. Lets go through the wild"
"Whatever."
Both of them stood up and drew up their swords. They went to the opening of the forest and slowly went through them. It was covered with a thin mist and had an eerie silence. They walked with Jacky in the front and Trant beside him. There were some corpses here and there. The sound of jackals and wolfs filled the forest. Jacky cut the weeds in front until they came upon the clearing where the camp was visible. They cut through that and jumped to the entrance. Bart was sitting on the entry smoking weed. Adden was sitting by him talking to Bolston.
"Fuck Bart,An army is making way overhere'
Bart looked at Adden and turned to Jack.
"What? Whose?"
"I didnt see the banner but it looks exactly like the Myradian flag.  The pink fucking seahorse."
"What the fuck? Does king Grolt have brothers?"
"Yes fuck The King of the Isles. Bladria. He must have sent him a raven before the war."
"Bladria? Oh fuck our numbers are only 1 500 how much do they have Trant?"
"Almost 2 500"
"Fuck." Bart stood up and put the sword in its sheath. Bolston picked up his axe and Adden had already his sword with him. They went over to the soldier camp and alerted the soldiers.
"Oh Fuck i hear the marching tones. They are on feet?"
"No. Most of em are mounted but some are foot soldiers too. In the front therre was a fucking big palanquin."
"It must be the King. This is hard. Weve got to talk. We got no fucking horses most of our soldiers are fucked up and they have twice our number. Bastards."
Bart picked up the warhorn and sounded it. Most of the soldiers in the camp was wounded even Adden was wounded in the thigh.
"Bart we cant fight with them for gods sake. We are fucked up. "
"I know. We cant flee either they are too close. "
The opening of the camp was suddenly loud with the sound of a horn. Bart and Adden went upto them. The 3 of the brothers stayed with the camp.
A man in shining mail and a morningstar in his hand was waiting by the opening. He was in his midthirties with 10 soldiers on either of his side. Behind him 2000 mounted soldiers were waiting with their swords and axes. Bart unsheathed his sword and went upto them. The man in the armour spoke.
"Adders I am Blake Relt of Bladria. King of Bladria. The second owner of Myriada. Since youve defeated my brother in savage ways i have no other chance meself to take Myriada except by fighting you."
"Oh fuck here it comes." Adden unsheathed his sword and put on his helm. Bart sheathed his sword and spoke.
"We had a war two days ago my lord. Most of our men are injured and our numbers are dwindling. Myriada is ours now. If you are willing to fight 1200 injured soldiers and 300 healthy soldiers and win withour honour you can do it so."
"Dont you talk about honour bastard. I dont care about honor. You killed my fucking brother and put his head on a spear. You fucked up my whole dynasty. Get ready for the worst Adder."
