((I'm back. I'll talk all about what happened in the Chivalric Alliance if you really want to know))
Zhash eyed first Scott and then Sierra. Smiling, he also excused himself, whispering in Scott's ear as he passed, "Cha-Ching."
As Zhash walked the streets, he stopped at some of the local venders he knew and bought a small breakfast of omelletes and fresh fruit. He was amazed that there was still fruit on this soon to be sieged city.
It was not long, however, before he came across Atlas, still in his horse, looking distressed. Rushing to Atlas' side, Zhash exclaimed, "Sir, what is it? Is there more bad news?"
------------------------
Borchst Zhlienger heaved his heavy set body over to the war tent. His master, Westeich, had called them again. What will it be today? More plundering, probably. There isn't anything left, though. We must attack the city!
Borchst sat down and eyed the other attendees, various commanders and generals of the three Barbarian Armies. Soon, Westeich stood and began the meeting, quite abruptly, "We will commence the attack soon. Are your men ready."
One of the men stood defiantly, "Ready?? We've been ready for this for years! Long live the West!"
Westeich gave the man a dirty look before continuing, "We must not be unprepared. They have been reinforced with troops from Amoria, led by Atlas himself. I ask you again, are you ready?"
A great quiet came over the meeting as the leaders realized the new danger with added troops. It would be much harder to break the tough defense that Yitai had already employed.
Finally, Borchst stood, "The northern Flank is ready to demolish the Yitains, Master! Give the command!"
Westeich smiled as he proclaimed, "Then, let the attack truly begin! Let's see who can stop the Barbarian tide!"
A loud ruckus followed as each commander stood and began rousing themselves for the attack. Soon, the tent was abandoned; each commander had went to rile the troops. They would destroy Yitai that night, Atlas or no Atlas.
One commander, however, did not yell as loud as the others, and did not go back to his troop. Instead, he snuck back to Yitai. It would be noon before he got there; would it be soon enough?
((Sorry, got tired of waiting for the actual fighting to begin. I think we're ready.))
