"We must rid of him. He's nothing but a thorn in our side!"
Alexei takes a moment to consider Cumore's words. Yes, this is true. Lately this person has been nothing but a thorn in their side. Although he had other plans for them, perhaps ridding them completely would be more beneficial to them. After all, if it weren't for them the peace treaty would not have been made and a war between the Empire and Union would have occurred. He nods his head to Cumore.
"So be it. I leave it to your Brigade to take care of him." Perhaps his Brigade would have more luck than his own the night prior.
Meanwhile Flynn takes time to find Yuri and the rest of the group after the events of that afternoon. When he enters their camp he's greeted by Repede and he greets the dog with a few pats. The commotion brings out Yuri and the rest of the group from their tents.
"So what did the knights want?" Yuri figured he might as well get right to the point. If they were after him they would have joined the Schwann Brigade while he was taking them down. But no, it was clear they were there for some other reason. Not reasons that Flynn knew about, though.
"That's confidential to the capital, Yuri," Flynn replies, getting an eye roll from Yuri. Really? That's the answer he's going to get? What a bullshit answer. Before he could retort that answer Karol comes barreling into the camp.
"Guys! Guys! T-They're coming!" Karol manages to say while he's trying to catch his breath. Yuri and Flynn immediately drop their conversation as the group makes his way to Karol. Well... most of them. For some reason, despite the commotion, Raven continues to sleep in his tent.
"Calm down. Who's coming?" Yuri asks.
"The knights! I looks like they're looking for someone!" He wasn't completely sure. But they looked serious.
"Oh dear. And who might they be coming for?" Judith asks. Yuri shrugs. They'll be finding out soon enough. Whoever it might be, they won't be getting them easily. Even though, soon enough, they find them surrounded.
"We have you surrounded! Would--"
"No, he will not."
The knights stopped in their tracks and looked around for the voice. Before they know it they find themselves attacked by a giant sword from behind. Don Whitehorse heard the news from one of his guild mates and made his way to the camp as soon as he could.
"I'll take care of them. You guys get out while you can!" The Don remarks as he makes his way through to the camp. Flynn shakes his head.
"I'm sorry, but I will not allow it! We will--"
"Go! You helped the Union and Capital stop a war. Now I will return the favor."
"But Don! We can stay here and fight with you! We can beat them together!" Karol didn't want his idol sacrifice his life. But the Don doesn't listen and goes right for another swing. He manages to take out a few more knights, but soon enough they surround him.
"Don!" Karol cries. Yuri and Flynn both take it upon themselves to take down a few of the remaining knights, Karol and Judith joining in on the fray. Eventually the Knights retreat. They may not have gotten <i>the</i> target that they were told to get, but at least they got someone out of the way, right?
Flynn clenches his fist, frustrated that he had only spoke with the Don the night before and then... this happens. Karol drops his weapon and cries for his fallen hero. Yuri looks at Repede and nods his head. The Capital will pay for this. They won't let the Don's sacrifice be in vain.
