"There will always be consequences and it will continue to do so in death..."
The sound of crows could be heard echoing through the area. Footsteps and occasional gasps could be heard as well. At times, there would be also the accompanying sound of vomit and string of curses. Scent of death clung to the air like a wrapped cloak. This was the wake of the arrest turned into massacre designed by the Red-Eyed Demon. The remaining soldiers that had survived the ferocity of the event felt relief and at the same time fear with the tinge of anger. They were glad that they were not killed that day. Fear, for they now know what the infamous assassin is truly capable of. Then, anger for the transgressions done to their comrades in battle.
A man in armor ordered with noticeable shaken anger in his voice. He gazed at the severed head of Addar who was a member of the Royal Knights. Crouching down, he closed the wide-opened eyes of the well-known war veteran. Retribution is no longer a mere voice of justice. This just turned into a personal matter without doubt. The Red-Eyed Demon was no longer in terms of being saved. This felon must be killed on sight.
"Lieutenant. A messenger bird has already been sent ahead."
One of the soldiers approached the crouched man. Standing to his feet, the Lieutenant looked at his subordinate and gave a curt nod. There was much to be done. It was without doubt in his mind that the Emperor will take measures in this. The news of the Highness annihilating one of the bases of Roda Ah K'mht was spreading across the continent like wildfire. At the same time, a storm was brewing within the Capital City of Cre' Est. Steps were now being taken and it made him wonder what his role in this entire thing.
"Take care of our comrades. They deserved a proper burial especially, Lord Addar. As for the survivors, I want them to be debriefed and treated for injuries. I want to know everything that happened here. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of an end."
The men that gathered around him gave a salute and began picking up the pieces while the others tended to the survivors of Addar's Unit. As for him, he gently picked the decapitated head of Addar and gave few words of prayers for the fallen warrior that served Cre' Est and its people for such a long time. He would probably be the one to deliver the saddening news to Addar's family. This was truly the hardest thing to do. He dislikes being the bearer of bad news even more so towards a family that had been somewhat his as well.
"Being left behind is not really a nice feeling at all.."
