The Purge, an event where Ilia sacked the eastern mountain range of Bern. Dinging this even many bandit camps , and strongholds were burned to the ground. This secured trade routes that were once closed thanks to bandit attacks and raids. The Ilians saw this as a complete victory, and many viewed it as proof that Illia was now the true master of Bern. Ilians however did not force the far reaching consequences of their actions.
The sacking of the eastern bandit tribes broke the power long lasting power struggles that had ben building up for centuries under the Bern bandits. With the old clans no longer establish brigands from the different gangs began to intermingle, and a sense of unity began to form with the sole purpose of vengeance upon Ilia. This group came to be known as the Coalition.
The Coalition was lead by a fiercely guarded circle of bandit leaders who called themselves Tops. The tops formed the Black hand which gave orders to the three orders. The first was Black eye, they gathered information and investigated members for betray and corruption. The second was the Black Feet, their job was to defend the organization, and bring all traitors to justice. The last order was the Black Fang. The Black Fang was the head of the Coalition. Their job was to raid and plunder. They brought in the coin for the organization, and dealt death to anybody they deemed necessary.
The Black Hand gave an order, and the Black Fang followed it. Under the command of the Black Hand the Fang was launched against. The Black Hand decided it was now time for vengeance.
Butorega was a captain in the Black Fang and lead a small band of five troops against an Illian village named Stonewall. He was joined by two more cells making the attacking force of fivteen units.
"We are to attack the village of Stonewall", spoke Butorega as he addressed his men. The first was an uguly man with brown hair and broad shoulders. His name was Bones and he was a brigand just like Butorega. The second was a fair maiden with bright pink hair. Her name was Faith, and unlike the earlier two she used a sword. She was a mercenary. The next person was short man with an even shorter temper. He was a shaman, and the only magic user in the group. His anger was quite legendary amongst the brigands earning him the nick name Lander the Blaze. The irony was the fact he did not use fire magic. The next was Tiffany and she was a giantess. She stood a titanic eight feet tall, and was covered from head to toe in armor. She was a knight by trade only, and despite her appeared she was actually quite meek. The last and most definitely not the least was Nobunaga. He was a cavalier with a passion for burning down homes, and villages. He was considered the most insane amongst the group, and he was also the most outspoken. Nobunaga was originally part of another group, but was transferred to Butorega because his last commander could not control him.
"So do we get to burn it", asked Nobunaga with a sinister expression.
"Not until we get the treasure", spoke Bones.
"Hay Bones he did not ask you", spoke Faith. "He asked the captain the captain."
"My point exactly", spoke Butorega. "The answer to your question is yes Nobunaga, but I forbid you to do so until I give the order to. We are not going to have an accident like last time."
"Yes, spoke Tiffany timing in. "You know I nearly burned alive last time you started that fire."
"Look Tiffany I already apologized. I thought you were already out of the village", lied Nobunaga.
"Really", spoke Lander. "If I remember correctly, and I do you said quote who cares about that fat giantess. She better get those thunder thighs moving. I am burning down this village, en quote."
"Thunder thighs", spoke Tiffany as her eyes began to tear up.
"Ok enough", shouted Butorega before they degenerated any further. We have a mission to do, and personally I want to get back to Bern as soon as possible. We move out in five minutes make yourselves ready. The village is only an hour away, and we still need to group up with the other two units." With those words said Butorega took his leave of the group, and prepared for the raid himself.

"Hay Butorega", a voice rang over the cold Ilian air. Butorega stopped for a moment and turned around to see a young man with bright pink hair. He wore a set of thick crimson armor that was covered by a white cloak.
"Maxwell", spoke Butorega as he stopped his preparations, and turned around to greet the man. "What are you doing in Ilia", asked Butorega as he shook his hand.
"Oh, right you were not at the base at the time", spoke Maxell as he rubbed the back of his head.
"What happened", asked Butorega as a slightly annoyed expression crossed his face.
"Nothing of much importance, but to make a long story short I got demoted and reasigned into the Black Fang units."
"Nothing of importance", spoke Butorega with surprise. "It seems important to me if they demote you and place you into an entirely different branch."
"Look Buto I don't want to talk about it", spoke Maxwell. "Or at the very least right now. Anyway to get to my point, I am to inform you that your unite will be working with mine, and I would like for us to march with your unit."
"Fair enough", spoke Butorega, "but you are going to have to tell me what you did along the way to the village."
"Fine, fine", spoke Maxwell as he raised his hands in defense. "Just pry at Maxwell's life. No one cares if Maxwell might want to privacy. Nope Butorega got to know everything that going on in Maxwell life."
"What can I say", spoke Butorega as he placed the last of his supplies into his traveling bag. "It is my favorite way to annoy you."
"Yes I am quite aware", spoke Maxwell in a joking tone. "Before we get into why I got myself demoted and transferred to another branch will you mind answering a small question?"
"Depends on the question", spoke Butorea as the duo began to move toward Butorega's unit rally point.
"Don't worry I am not going to ask for money", spoke Maxwell as he signaled his second to order the troops to follow him. "It just want to know if you know anything about our commander for this mission.”
"Depends", spoke Butorega as his troops lined up in formation. "What is his name", Butorega asked.
"Wallace", spoke Maxwell as the last of his men joined up with Butorega's.
"Alright let’s move out", shouted Butorega as he began to lead the troops along with Maxwerll! "I think I might, well I think. Was this Wallace in the black leather bandits. "
"Unfortunately no", spoke Maxwell.
"Then I can't help you", spoke Butorea. "We are just going to have to find out the old fashion way. We are going to meet him at the rally point for the tree units."

The two units marched on for about an hour before they reach their rally point. To Maxell and Butorega surprise however there was no one there at the rallying spot.
"What the hell', spoke Butorega.”I thought we were suppose to meet the other group here. The only thing here is snow and the marker."
"This does seemed a bit strange", spoke Maxell.
"Captain", shouted Faith, but before she could finish two figures popped out of the snow.
"Assassins", spoke Butgorea as he drew his axe, but the blade was at his neck before he could make a proper move.
"If I was the enemy you would have been dead", spoke the man as he withdrew his sword. The second figure also withdrew its blade from Maxwell's neck. Three more men appeared from the snow. Their faces were covered and their clothing pure white.
"Yawn the Snow Leopard", spoke Maxwell as he regained his composure. "So you are to be our commander."
"I am surprise that you know of me", spoke Yawn. "I must not be doing my job right anymore. Oh, I almost forgot. Yes I am your commander on this mission."
"Well then", spoke Butorega. "What are your instructions on out attack."
"Straight to business, I like that", spoke Yawn. "Maxwell and my unit will set up a perimeter and insure no one escapes. I need you and your five men to infiltrate the town and wipe out the guard. From there we will move in and tightening the circle and pillage the entire town. "
"That was... quick", spoke Butorega in a confused tone.
"And simple", added Maxwell.
"Problem", asked yawn as he realized the confusion on poth his new sub commanders face.
"Well actually yes there is a problem. You see thou did not mention anything about the enemy troops", spoke Butorea.
"Exactly spoke Maxwell. I mean you could have at least told us the number of guards, or pointed out time of attack. I mean the way you said it you just want us to stroll in and kill everybody, but with no actual stratagem."
"The one getting killed will be us, and not the enemy", spoke Butorega. "Also what up with the attack earlier. I understand you are an assassin, but puting blades at peoples necks does not make you work better as a unite."
"I wanted to test your abilities", spoke Yawn who was now a bit bewildered.
"Hold on a second", spoke Butorega. "If I remember correctly your are known as a lone assassin."
"Oh that is right", spoke Maxwell. "Is this your first time commanding men, or at least a group above the number of ten. "
"Maybe", spoke yawn as a blush from embarrassment crossed his face.
"Oh I see you are green", spoke Butorega. Yawn immediately pulled his blade out a placed it across the young brigands neck.
"Do not call me Green", he spoke with murder in his eye.
"Looks like we touch a sore subject", spoke Maxwell. "Well let’s start over. Commander we shall execute your plan most haste."
"Right", spoke Butorega. "So can you please remove the blade from my neck so I can get to work?"
"Fine spoke Yawn as he removed the blade.
"Come on guys", spoke Butorea. "We have a city to take, and no Nobunaga you cannot Burn it."
"Damnit", spoke Nobunaga as he threw his sword on the

"Alright here we are", spoke Butorega as he and his comrades arrived at the village. Yawn and Maxwell's unites had already moved into position all that was left was for Butorega unite to initiate the attack.
"Leave no one alive", spoke Butorega as he drew his axe. He was soon followed by the rest of his companions. Butorega unite moved into the village in a wedge formation. Butorega, there captain, lead down the center. To his right was Bones and on his left was Tiffany. Behind them were Faith, Nobunaga, and Lander. All three were spread out and strategically placed in the gap between the two brigands.
"Halt", the voice of a guard rang through the air as he approached Butorega. Two other guards looked on from the side, as the lone man approached the brigands. Villagers watched on from the side. Their eyes were focused on Butorega as mummers of trouble and mercenaries filled the air.
It was clear to Butorega now that they thought he and his group were mercenaries. If he was in Bern the town’s people would have already scattered and the guards would be attacking at full force. It just comes to show the difference in stability and custom between their two countries. Mercenaries carrying arms into town was a normal sight to these people.
"Hay you sheath your weapon", spoke the guard as he pointed toward Butorega's Axe.
"Oh right", spoke Butorega as he motion to attach his axe back to his waist. He stared at the guard from the corner of his eye and the moment the fool let down his guard Butorega rushed in.
"What the", he spoke, but those were the last words he would ever speak. Butorega swiftly plunged his axe into the man's skull. The iron edged pierced through his helmet sending a loud ping into the air. The sound was soon followed by frighten screams and the battle cry of Butorega's men. The attack on Stonewall village was now on its way.

Valin was fling near Stonewall Village when he hear the din of battle and screams of dying villages. Turning toward the ill fated village." Oh God no. This my...no I choose my fate now. Fly now Fly To Battle!" Valin sped through the air anger rising as he moved closer to the burning village. Valin sees a brute of a man chasing a woman down. The woman fell and the bandit raised his ax to cut her down. But before he could Valin drove his wyvern downward and stabbed the man through the right shoulder. "Run! Run will you can I'll hold them off!" The woman was frozen and stared at Valins red eye. Valin covered his right eye with his left hand. "RUN!" Valin barked and the woman fled. Valin kicked Albus in the side to make him fly but was pulled off the wyvern as it sped off. Valin regained his footing quickly and saw the bandit was still alive but bleeding heavily from his shoulder.
The brute charged Valin ax raised high. "Time to die pretty boy" He bellowed Slashing down. Valin blocked with his lance and the two are in deadlock. Valin remembered his masters words and puts his leg behind the bandits and pushed the brigand to the ground. Valin then plunged his lance into the mans chest and twisted. Albus flew back and Valin mounted the beast leaving the man do die in a pool of blood.
Valin took to the air and looked around. "Come on come on! Wheres the leader!? Where!?"

"William", shouted Maxwell as he witnesses his friend's death. Butorega was not far away as the Maxwell units met his soldiers in the middle.
"Maxwell", shouted Butorega grabbing the attention of his comrade. As he approached he looked down at Stalin who was now bleeding over the snow. "William", Butorega shouted! He knew the man well. He and William had served together two raids ago when he first joined the Coalition. "Where is the bastard who did this", spoke Butorega
"Up there", spoke Maxwell as he pointed toward a rider in the sky. "The wyrm Knight stabbed him in the chest. I don't like the traitorous reach, but you have to admit he pretty good. Taking down William with a spear is no easy task."
"Leave him to me", spoke Butorega as he walked past Maxwell. "You", shouted Butorega as he walked toward the flying beast! His eyes were filled with rage, and his voice filled with confidence and a strong base. "I am Balgoth the Destroyer, captain of these men and slaughter of these villagers. If you seek to test your steel or save these maggots you have but to face me"!
"Balgoth the Destroyer", murmured Maxwell under his breath. It was Butorega go to name when he raided a village, or issued a challenge. He never used his real name as he had people he wanted to protect, and plans for a life once the blood was no longer being spilled.

Valin Heard The brigands yells and turned his head toward Butorega. "You?! Your the blight of a captain?! Then hear ME Destroyer I am Valin and today I a bulwark against you and you ilk! Valin swooped down landing hard on the frozen street. Albus spread his wings wide and gave a deep hiss. Valin levels his lance and braces himself for what he knows will be a fight were hes at a disadvantage. "Let us fight with Honor if you know any Bandit. But first why? Why this village, these people? Illia is a resource poor land so what do you have to gain?"Valin stared hard at the young brigand and waited for an answer or an attack which ever came first. But he knew if the villagers were to escape he need to hold as many bandits as he could here and he prayed silently that he wouldn't have to do it alone.

OC: It good to have someone else to rp with. Also I am stronger by level, but this is your first post and fight so if we do come to a fight I will make it as if we are both equal. The reason Valin has a flying mount and I don't want to be a bully.
IC:
"Vengence", spoke Butorega. "A few months back Illia purged the eastern mountains of Bern whipping out my brothers in arms and several of our long standing fortresses. Their actions cause us to unite and now we return the favor. These people, these villagers were a part of that attack. This city served as a rally point for that attack and prospered from the soldiers station in there city, and thus they harbor the blame."
"Not to mention", spoke Butorega adding more reason to his attack. "Illia has occupied Bern and has been imposing its will on our land and our people. Bern should be ruled by Bernanites not by Illian dogs. It is about time Illia learned that Bern will not simply bow to their will. We claimed the land from the dragons in the scouring and tamed the might beast that flew its sky. Bern will be free even if I pillage and burn every village in all of Illia," shouted Butorega!
"Did he say burn", spoke Nobunaga. "That the word I was waiting for", spoke the crazed cavalier as he lit up a torched and began to set the buildings on fire. The town guard however began to rally as their captain took the field. The rain was soon turning into a battle field.

OC: Glad I could join your scene and I was aware of the your level and the fact that Im using a lance against you ax but hey had to try right.
Valin was shocked by the Brigands words. He was conficted by his pride as a Bernion and duty to the innocent.The pain of his exile was still fresh in his mind and a fire burned heart as he said "I can't hate you for you love of country and of brothers in arms. That said you and your men are Bandits and as an exknight of Bern I will stop you! Come now Belgoth the Destroyeeeer!"/font] Valin and Albues then lifted up a few feet and charged the young brigand Iron Lance bared for a fly by attack.

Butorega simply stared as Valin swooped down. As the lance approached Butorega side stepped the Wyvern and allowed the beast to fly past him. The knight was moving way to fast to counter attack at the moment and Butorega knew better than to jump out in front of it. Butorega mind wondered back two years ago when he first faced his first Wyvern rider. The lessons from that battle would prove valuable in today’s bout.
"A Knight huh", spoke Butorega as he watched the knight come around. In turth Butorega was surprise at his words. Most people even if they fought against Illia still hated bandits. This man seemed to have a compassion that was rare in these times. The ability to relate to your enemy. "Quite a man indeed", spoke Butorega as he prepared for his opponents next strike.

Valin turned about and stopped. ""He dodged? but how..." Valin thought and then donned on him. "Hes stronger then me." He said softly "No matter I will Fight." Valin said fortifying himself for the fight. Drove back down the same speed as before. This time slowed down at the last second driving the lance at the brigands legs.

He slowed down, thought Butorega as Valin slowed his pace. Immediately Butorega jumped. His legs were now out of the range of Valin spear, but his body was now in the air. Butorega purposely jumped forward defying his earlier rule and took the wyvern knight head on. As the beast pulled through Valin attack Butorega body slammed into the rider knocking both combatants off the beast and onto the ground.
"Damn that hurt", spoke Butoerga as he recovered, but now his opponent was on the ground and not on his mount.

"Damn you..." Valin stood up and readied his lance again when a sharp pain ran trough his right arm. He flinched slightly as took the stance he saw the foot knights take during training. Use reach not force rang in Valins head over and over as thrust forward targeting center mass and bracing for the parry if it came.

"Noob", spoke Butorega as he charged forward, but his charge was soon interutped by a swift arrow. He tuned to see a guard holding a bow. Behind him was a woman holding a tower shield with a sword in her right hand. She was armored, but not as armored as a general. Her eyes were a fire and her voice boomed over the village.
"Is that a Halberdier", spoke Butorega as he tunred his head and looked at the guards. He stil kept his good eye on Valin. The situation however was getting sticky and fast. Butorega was now between Valin and the guards. Immediately the bandit decided it was best to fall back, and back was toward Valin.
Butorega let out a bloody roar and charged forward. His goal although unkown to his opponent was to simply make Valin attack and then shoot by him.

Valin brace for the charge releived to see the local guards arriving. Valin was confused at first my his opponets charge then it hit him. He trying to end this quickly he thought and dropped his guard hand half hafted his lance. He let the bandits blow hit him in the side sending blood trailing down his Blue armor. Valin then wrapped his arm around Butorega's axe arm. "DODGE THIS ONE!" Valin yelled driving his lance at the bandits gut.
As this was happening Albus was swooping in to return to his master. When the black wyvern saw Valin stuck in his side the beast roared and drove at the ground between the guards and the bandits.
