The blow struck Calis armgear. A knight to the side keeping score shouted. "Knight Yeo-4, Lord Calis-37." "Come on Yeo, you must do better than that." "I cant really much up to your skill my lord, im sorry" "Dont apologize and dont put yourself down, you can be as strong as you want." "Thank you my lord." A knight walked into the training room. "Lord Calis, new infomation." "Good, ill be there in a moment, the rest of you continue your training." Calis walked out of the room and down the hall. He continued until he reached the meeting room. "What new infomation do you have?" A knight dress in rags spoke. "At the moment they are currently looking for a camp spot, while the others look for the bandits base." "Ok, ready some knights. I plan to go out there and assist them," "Yes my lord." The knight left to go issue the orders.

A messenger quickly ran into the throne room. "My lord, new news on the front!" "What is it?" "Kenshin and the female found the bandit base, and it was reported that the female ran out and is currently being chase by bandits." Calis thought to himself for a moment. He turned to his cheif advisor. "Are the knights ready?" "No, no yet my lord." "Fine, then i shall ride out by myself." "I dont find that a good idea." "I dont care! Kenshin is in trouble and so is the female." Calis stromed out of the throne room and outside the palace.

Calis rushed into the castly after his trek though Bern, Lycia, and Santaruz. A knight came up to him as he moved though the castle. "My lord, is everything all right." Calis moved past him and headed into the thone room. He sat down and tried to catch his breath when his advisor Antony(An-Tony) walked in. "My lord, I am glad to see you well." Antony noticed the covering on his shoulder. "Where did you recive that wound? Should I fetch the bishop so-" Calis cut him off. "Bring me Yeo." "As you wish."
A few moments later, Yeo(Ye-O) walked in. He came to Calis and bowed before him. "My lord is something the matter?" Calis looked towards the doors and saw Antony waiting there. "Leave us." He did as asked. Calis then turned back to Yeo. "Has anything transpired since my leave?" "I have had him watched closely my lord. Nothing yet to be worried of." "It will happen soon. Keep watch on him and make sure he doesnt know that we know." "Yes my lord." Yeo stood up and moved towards the door. He then turned around for something still troubled him. "Are you sure that's it?" "No"
Calis remained seated, now breathing normally. "I want twenty of our best men armored up and armed." "Defense?" "No, we are going to Ostia." Yeo looked shocked to hear this. "Offensive?" "No. Just rally up the men."

Calis was in the war room with Yeo. "Is everything ready?" "Yes, the knights are ready to move at your command." Just then one of the generals barged in. "My lord, new news on Antony." "What? Tell me now." The knight stood up straight. "Our spies followed him out into the nearby forest late last night. He then headed into a camp site and was seen conspiring with some hooded characters."
"What were the looks of the camp?" "Our spies remained there till the morning for any clues and discovered that it is a bandit camp." Calis looked at Yeo then down to the table they were at. 'Damn. So our suspicions were right. We're not ready for this now.' Calis looked back at Yeo who was waiting orders. "He plans to attack while we are away...while the castle and town are defenseless" "So what do we do?"
Calis thought for a moment. He wasnt sure what to do but he had to stay to protect the town and the two nearby villages. Calis looked at the general knight. "Bring me some paper." The general headed out. Calis turned towards Yeo. "I want you to send a messenger off to Ostia. Make sure he has the fastest horse we can give him." The general came back. "Here, my lord." Calis took the paper and began to write on it. As he wrote he continued to give orders to Yeo. "If he arrives and Kenshin and the other lords arent there yet, tell him to head towards Bern from there and give them this message."
Calis picked the paper up and handed it to Yeo. "Give him two knight escorts. This may be our only chance to save the town."

After flying a short while, Alan who was trained to observe things from up high noticed that a large bandit camp had been established in Santaruz. 'Hmmm, perhaps a opportunity to test our skill, he Grimbold? Perhaps the castle is willing to hire some mercenaries in this time off need.' And with that thought Alan turned to a course directly to the castle. He landed before the gate and was greeted by the guard.

As the wyvern rider was led though the gate and he was told not to speak of the bandit base until the lord of the castle mentioned it himself. The wyvern was not allowed to enter the castle due to its ferocity and it would not leave its masters side so they were sent to the stables.
Calis and Yeo walked into the stable and up to the rider. "First thing, do not mention anything to my advisor Antony. If he asks you why you are here just say that you needed some lodging for the night. Second, we have discoved three bandit bases, one to the north, another to the east, and the big one north east of here. So if your looking to test your skill this is the place to do it." Yeo moved up to the rider. "Before anything. How skilled do you think you are?" "Yeo." Calis said in a tone applying Yeo to ease off. "Im sorry my lord, but I want to hear his answer. I dont want anyone running off in the middle of battle."

'How skilled, compared to what? The only way to measure ones strength for real is in battle.' With that Alan jumped off his horse and drew forth his lance.

Yeo drew his sword. "No, Yeo. There is no need to test his stength. Besides you are at a disadvantage using that sword." "Then give me a lance." "Yeo! Withdraw your sword now." Yeo grew an angrey espression on his face but then hid it quickly along with his sword. "Im sorry for disobeying you. We should save our strength for the enemy." "Im glad you understand Yeo. Now kind rider, would you withdraw your lance and follow me to the war room so I can feel you in on our plan. And it may also help if you can tell me your name. As for me, I am Calis and this is my general Yeo. "

'Alan, former squad-commander of the Royal Palace of Bern at your service.' He put his lance back in the holster on Grimbold's back and with a soft word he put the wyvern to sleep, then he followed the two to the war room.

They went into the war room and toke seats at the table. "Well, Alan, former squad-commander, Im going to present you with a squad of Wyvern Riders we have trained. A man with the rank that can teach them some new tricks." Yeo unfolded a map across the table. "Now more about the plan. I was initially going to go to Ostia with twenty of my knights in order to help out some friends and that was when my adviser Antony was going to allow the bandits to attack." As Calis talked, he pointed at each location he mentioned. "I have found out that he was giving them information on us. Now heres what im going to do. Im going to ride out with the twenty knights in the direction of Osita, but we are going to camp in this nearby forest, hopefully where my friends will be waiting. I want you to stay here and when the attack commences, send a rider to tell us so we can head back. This may not give us the upper hand but it will suprise the bandits."
Yeo then toke over. "Now for the bandit camps. There is one located here, here, and here." Yeo circled each area, making each circle bigger according to the camp size. "We expect camp from there main camp while the others attack these nearby villages." "We are going to have to split our forces up for this battle. Yeo is going to take a division of knights over to this village and you are going to head to this village here for they are most likely to send there archers to the castle."
Just as Calis finished giving Alan his order, Antony walked in. "My lord, who is this? 'Damn. I told those guards not to let him in. "This is Alan, a wyvern rider. He is seeking lodging so Ive decided to let him stay here. "I see, but why is he here in the war room?" Yeo went around Antony to make him look away from the map, giving Calis time to erase the circles of the bandit camps. "Nothing. He was just showing us where he comes from on the map. For he saw a forest a lit in flames and was pointing it out for us. Antony turned around to Calis. "I dont see why you concern yourself with these matters my lord. It is bad enough that you are to head to Ostia." Calis gave Yeo a look which he understood. "Come Antony. Let us go, there are matters we need to attend to."
They exited the room. Calis turned towards Alan. "Is there anything you need to ask me?"

'You say you have a squad of Wyvern riders, where do they come from? Are they all deserters?' Alan knew only to well that King Desmond desperately tries to be the only one that has Wyverns in his service.

"We had a deserter land here injured some months ago. We brought him back to good heath and he decided to stay here. He did fly back and capture some wyverns and brought them here to train some knights to be wyvern riders. I know they arent that good of a regulatory wyvern rider but they should do. I have a knight take you to go meet them now." Yeo walked back into the room and nodded his head. "I see its time to go. Well Alan I bid you farewell. Remember that when the bandits arrive send a wyvern rider out to the forest to tell us and then you head to the village to the east with the rest."
Calis walked out of the room as a knight walked in to escort Alan to meet the other wyvern riders.
OcC:You can take over from here, im heading to the meeting place

Alan bid Calis farewell and told the rest of the guard to close the gates and let noone in or out. Then he and the wyvern rider when to the top of the middle tower. 'Tell me soldier, what do you see?' 'Calis has entered the woods and is beyond sight, a wyvern rider just landed at the meeting place and there are quite some movement going on in the nearest bandit camp.' 'I see... Not bad, but you have your eye fixed on the farest places you can see, look closer to our position.' 'That's Sir Antony! He is riding away, heading to the bandit camp!' Yes, you go down to the gates and checkif Antony told them to leave it open, if so then come back and report.'

Alan looked at the deserter and finally recognized him. 'Heath! You are here? I see you pick your employers well!' 'Yes, Sir Calis is...' A knight came up the stairs 'Sir, sir! Rebellion!' 'What are you talking about!' 'A large proportion of the low echelon soldier have turned on us, archers have surrounded the castle!' 'Are you mad?' Alan looked down the walls and saw that the man was correct. 'What now! we can't reach Lord Calis or the village!!!" 'Stay calm, soldier. I have a plan. Heath, I can leave the castle and the other riders won't make it past the archers.' 'I know, I will head for the village.' 'Alright, Godspeed soldier...'
Heath left the castle and welcomed by a attack of arrows, he made it past and left. 'What now? Calis needs to be informed!' 'I need a torch...'
