Oge: Chronus, take the 5th Regiment of Knights and head west along the Thaxonos Mountains. We will out flank them.

KrothGar: If we don't run into the lot of them in this blasted forest.

Chronus: It would be wise of them. The elves know this forest like the back of their hand.

Oge: Hmm, good point. Do it anyway.

Chronus boggled.

Oge: Trust me on this. If the hit us in the woods, we will sound the alarm. You will hear it I am sure. I have never heard such quiet in any woods before.

Chronus: Very well Highlord.

Chronus saluted, then took the 5th Knighted Regiment and headed west. He joined the 5 units of infantry that Oge had sent previously.

---------------------------------------------------------
The front line of the Marauder infantry walked as quietly as they could muster through the forest toward the city. No one heard a thing.
*THWOCK* a group of Marauders fell to their knees as elven made arrows made their way into their chests. Head to head the armies went charging and screaming. Sounds of metal against metal could be heard for miles. The battle began. 2 Shalonesti infantry units were immediately cut down by Marauder Calvary.
The overwhelming forces of the Marauders pummeled their way through the Shalonesti troops. Shalonesti warriors fell back and their cavalry charged forward. KrothGar's 2 Knighted regiment met them. The Shalonesti cavalry was not match for knights and fell quickly. King Terri had sent a group of elves to flank the Marauders, but then ran right into Chronus and was defeated. All in all, the Marauders were too many and the Shalonesti army fell. The last section of King Terri's army was his own command. They fought bravely trying to prevent the Marauder takeover, but ultimately were forced to flee into the woods.
------------------------------------------------------------
The gates of Shalonesti were pried open. Women, children and the elderly stared in disbelief at the slaughter. Some wept; most stood in shock. The Marauder army made way for Highlord Oge and his command.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Oge: Fear not citizens of Shalonesti. Obey my laws and NO harm will come to you. Disobey, and it will mean yours and your children's deaths. Go to the woods, bury your dead. Return home before nightfall. Tomorrow you WILL open your shops, and your stores or I will burn this city to the ground with all of you in it.
