Battle Of A Storm

[ Wilson POV ]

The battle has come to an end as the boy Victor has killed a man, who I see to believe must be the commander of these men. Even through the kid was able to still live, he didn't come out of this without paying a price.

Losing one of his eyes, getting stabbed in his side and being completely beat to near death. He a lucky kid to still be alive and is being taken care of just like the rest of the wounden.

"Boss, what is to be done with these guys."

one of my men ask me at the time I was thinking to myself.

"I am guessing it up to the lord who paying us to see what is to be done with these men. So we wait for him to come over here and make a judgement on these men"

I look at those men right after finishing speaking there were a quite a few of them still alive especially Markus. That young man is now on his knees in tears holding the dead corpses of the commander in his arms.

He still alive only because I only disarmed him in the middle of our fight didn't see a point to killing a person like him it will leave a bad taste in my mouth.

"I see you left me a nice gift waiting for me Wilson."

I turn my head to see Elbert and his men finally arrived.

"Well I believe it not my call to make on these men once they surrendered when their commander has fallen.

Elbert got off his horse and walk up beside me looking at the few number of men still alive from the battlefield.

"I have to say Wilson, you and your men have done very well to win this battle on your own. I am happy that my money has not gone to waste here, I can see it now victory close at hand."

"Glad to hear it my lord, but what is to be done with these men here."

"Oh right what is to be done with them." Elbert said as he walked up to them.

I watch him think to himself for a moment until seeing that he has an idea from the expression on his face.

"Who is next in command among you." Elbert ask as each of those men look at each other until putting all their attention on one person.

I was a little expected to see that one person was Markus.

"So he the one seem a bit young, but it does not matter bring him to me."

Elbert order his man as two of them push their way through those man grabbing Markus.

He was fighting back, but it was useless as those two man beat him and dragged him over to Elbert throwing him to the ground near the man feet.

"Do you understand why? you have been brought to me,"

I look at Markus awiting what answer the fool will give Elbert, but he didn't say a word.

Elbert didn't seem pleased by the way Markus is acting, I am guessing he was hoping for him to put up more of a fight.

"My lord ask you a question, you answer." that man who Elbert geranal kick Markus in his side.

Elbert stop his man from hurting him any further.

"Very well then I shall tell you if that is what you want."

Elbert grab Markus by the hair rise his face to look the man in the eyes.

"You are going to be my little message to your king telling him that he either surrender or face such suffering from me and my man do you understand."

The answer that Elbert has gotten from him was a spit of his blood to his face. Doing such thing anger Elbert to beating him until Markus was near death's door.

Of course I had to step in to stop the man from opening that door.

"My lord I believe he would be more useful to you alive then dead don't you think."

Elbert stop beating and face his attention on me, I can see a little blood on his face.

"Hmm your right my friend killing him would be a waste, but I am having second thoughts now since he disrespected me."

"Then do you want him dead instead and to pick someone to bring your message."

Elbert look back at Markus as he glares at him with hate in his eye. It had no effect on Elbert as he ignored it and walk up to his general.

"Tie up him and those men they will be our hostage for the time being. I will send someone to be my masseuse, but not without bringing a gift to their king."

Elbert pointed to the dead corpse of their commander.

"Cut off that man's head and putt it in a suck. I am sure that will be a nice gift to give him."

"As you wish my lord." I saw a smile on that man face once Elbert gave him the order.

The man walked up to the body until Markus started finally speak.

"No! Keep your f.u.c.k.i.n.g hands my father body."

"Oh so that man your father how sad for your loss, I can somewhat relate to your feelings if only I really did loved my father."

Elbert laugh after saying that which just piss off Markus even more as he was able to break free from Elbert men.

I quickly took care of it stopping him from reaching Elbert slamming him down to the ground and knocking him out.

"My lord should be careful to anger a capture enemy." I said while tie Markus up.

"That was close I say, but nonetheless he wouldn't even have the chance to reach me. My men would make sure of that, anyway we better move this along as we have a celebration to start."

Elbert got back on his horse leaving while his general does what he was ordered to do cutting off the head and putting it into a suack.

After that was done he followed Elbert along with the hostages tagging along.

"Boss we're close to gathering some of our men that fallen on the battle as will line them up."

Another one of my men call out of me.

"Good I'll be there soon to say my farewell to them, oh and how is our wounded?."

"Quite a few of the men are wounded from the enemy on the battlefield as well as some wounded from those mages attack, but they will live given a few days time to heal."

Well seem they won't be able to join in on the next battle to come.

"Alright thank you, you can go."

"Yes boss."

He leaves and I stand alone looking at battlefield seeing some of my men gather their comrades while leaving the corpses of our enemy still lying on the ground still.

Let the brides feed on their flesh I am sure they will enjoy the meal. I also then left not looking forward to still here any longer then I have to got important things to take care of.

[ 3rd POV ]

Wilson and his men gather around to say their goodbyes to their fellow comrades that has fallen on the battlefield.

When that was done they began to move to find a location where they can set up campe.

Took time as the sun was setting, but they found a location where they can set up campe along with Elbert man.

Soon things start to lighten up where the men start drinking, eating, talking among one another and singing together.

Wilson was among them sitting down with a drink in his hand, the man seemed deep in throught while he looks at the campfire dancing around.

He then got up grabbing a few cups with him and started walking letting his man enjoy themselves until the real fun comes.

Wilson walk to a tent where Hellfang was sitting in front of it as he was guarding the front.

"How it going over here?." Wilson asked as Hellfang stood up to face him.

Wilson hands him a cup where he pour him a drink.

"Things are doing fine no trouble here boss Roland is keeping a close eye on that mage you had brought over to heal Victor."

"We're lucky that I didn't kill that one it did take some time to talk to Elbert men to let me take him. Thanks to that work, I wonder now how well a one arm mage can do his job."

"Pretty shitty I bet." Hellfang said as the two laugh their a.s.s off while drinking.

Things then die down and both became quite until Hellfang spoke again.

"You know she is not going to be too happy about what happened to the boy."

"I know she is going to give me hell for what has happened to Victor."

"Not just hell, I am sure Lydia will give a lot more than that as that women care about him like the boy was her own child."

Wilson didn't say another word for a moment just drank from his cup.

"What has happened today, I believe would make that boy grow stronger for the future battles to come."

After saying that Wilson look up to the sky where the stars show themselves on the night sky tonight.
