THE BATTLE OF SEEGRIN FORTRESS
Near the outskirts of Garheim, Sir Jake rallies his men to Seegrin Fortress. Upon arrival, they can smell the stench of the Queen's soldiers, and the Garhim's hatred for them grows ever stronger. They can see instead of shades of blue, the fortress is decorated with blood red flags and the Queen's sigil.
"I've never been so insulted in all my life!" a Garhim guard next to Jake grumbled.
"Don't worry about it, my friend," Jake replied, "the fortress will be ours again before nightfall."
Jake then dismounts from his horse and, with a white flag of parlay, they approach the gates of Seegrin. Jake bangs on the door with his fist, each pound sent a resonating sound through the fortress.
"In the name of the Jarl, I demand you return this Fortress to the hands of the Garhim! If you so much as refuse or shoot one arrow, we will bring every one of the Queen's soldiers in this fortress to their death!"
From above, a voice responds, "I am Baron Von Gruger, and my loyalty is to the Queen! She bestowed this fortress upon me in exchange for my services. And therefore I am afraid I must decline your meager threat!"
Jake felt his face swell with anger and he replies, "You foolish whimpering dog! Very well! Do not beg for mercy when our weapon are at your throat, for you shall receive none at all! To arms!
~~~~~
A few hours later, the horn for battle was sounded! And a terrifying fight ensued. Jake led his men over the hill with his sword flashing in the warm sunlight. As soon as they reached the oaken door, Jake sheathed his sword and helped ram it.
A few moments later, they broke through. None knew this fortress better than the Garhim. Its weakness, strengths, and everything else were like a blueprint in the minds of the Garhim. They maneuvered easily once inside, cutting down every group of red soldiers that stood in their way. Within the hour, Jake had killed the Baron, wiped clean the fortress of opposing soldiers, and the fortress was reclaimed!
For Garheim!!!
