The war had officially begun, the war place was set up that each side would each have a keep, a stronghold. The objective of the war is to take the enemy stronghold, in between this two strongholds contain small castles, minor villages, and camps. It was like a game of tug of war.
Each stronghold is controlled by an NPC general which oversees the whole battle, however players are the ones to 'own' the castles and small villages. Of course various strategic points are also available to take, like hills or rivers that works in the advantage of whomever is controlling it.

Both sides had the same amount of people, the deciding factor for the war would be the influence of the players, on how well they do. Once a player dies, he will still have the penalty of loosing one level and not be able to play for 12 in game hours, but the player can log back on, but cannot participate in the war.
War had started and blood had started to cover the lands. But that didn't affect Scout, Scout and the Shadow Wings had only one goal, Attack from behind enemy lines. Their goal was to take out supply caravans, take out any informants, and wreak havoc.
The Shadow Wings decided to split up, it would too suspicious if a group of people wearing masks are always together. Some people went as pairs, some went as a small group, and some, like Scout went solo.
Scout did not wait move, unlike the rest of the Shadow Wings that needs to plan their moves, Scout had an advantage because of his speed and his skill 'Shadow Step'. He would be hard to catch and kill.
Scout decided to target a supply caravan bringing in provisions like food and potions and items as such. He decided to start small so that he won't attract too much attention.
Scout found his first supply caravan. He knew this particular caravan was a war caravan because the caravan was being escorted by Isris guards, even the caravan driver was a guard. There were four guards present, one driving and three escorting. Scout knew he would be able to take on the guards because they were low level infantry. Scout slowly approached the caravan in stealth. Slowly by slowly he crept up towards the moving caravan. He was now within striking distance to a guard to the back.
Scout slowly crept up behind the guard and placed his hand on top of the guards mouth and he slit the guard's throat. The dead guard did not make a sound, the guard dropped something, it was a small coin. Scout picked it up not knowing what it was and so he was going to save it for later. Scout went ahead and slowly approached the next guard, He did the same to this guard, but instead of silting his throat, he decided to stab him in the heart. Another coin dropped which Scout once again picked up.
As the guard fell dead, the guards head hit the cart which was carrying supplies making a 'thud' sound, it attracted the two remaining guards.
"What was that?" A guard asked as he turned around to see his comrades dead.
"WHAT THE HELL?! BANDITS!" The same guard screamed mistaking Scout for a bandit.
"GAAAAAAAAAH" the guard shouted as he ran towards Scout with his sword raised up high.
Scout also ran towards the guard. The guard thrusted his sword towards Scout, but Scout easily dodged by stepping to the side. Scout countered with a stab to the side of the guard, but it did not kill the guard. Scout then using the momentum of his run to jump towards the carriage and stabbed and slashed towards the guard driving the carriage. The driver did not have any time to react. By the time the guard had let go of the reins controlling the horses to unsheathe his sword, he was already falling dead. Once again the guard dropped a mysterious coin.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" The last guard screamed while pressing down on his wound.
". . ." Scout ignored him and slowly walked towards the guard barely grasping for his life.
"Stay away from me!" The guard shouted while trying his hardest to run away, as he tried to run away he tripped.
"Please, no, please don't kill me" The guard plead and begged as he lay on the dirt ground.
". . ." Scout once more did not say anything and just mounted and killed the guard as quickly and as painless as possible. The guard dropped another coin, Scout now had the chance to inspect what the coin was.
Item NameWar CoinDescriptionCoin's of War. Can only be obtained through war.UsageBring to the capital that you are affiliated with to exchange for items and or other miscellaneous rewards.
Scout finished reading the description and placed the coins in his inventory, as he was placing the coins in his bag, the supply caravan suddenly disappeared, and 5 war coins dropped out of thin air. Scout picked them up, he now had 9 war coins. Some food provisions and some various potions dropped along with the coins, Scout picked them up and went ahead to find more caravans to hunt.
Scout really did not have a general idea on which route caravans take. So he decided to walk around hoping to find more enemies. Soon enough he finally found some, but this time it wasn't a caravan, but this time they were players of Isris. There was two of them. At first glance Scout thought that they were casually running to a destination; but Scout finally noticed their faces, it was faces of despair and fear, they were running away from someone or something.
"HURRY!! BEFORE THEY CATCH US!!" One of guys running said
*HUFF HUFF HUFF* the other guy did not answer back trying to conserve his energy
Scout did not wait any further and jumped out from his cover and stabbed them both in the chest, they were in considerably low health that Scout did not need to backstab, they instantly died. Two coins dropped out of thin air and landed on the ground, as Scout was about to pick it up, he heard a rustling sound from a bush, and after a second something came out, a group of thief's and assassins that he recognizes to be his comrades, but it seemed that they don't recognize Scout.
"Who are you?" One of the Shadow Wing member asked.
"Calm down, were teammates" Scout said while lifting up his sleeve to show his Shadow Wing mark.
"Ah, good to see a friendly behind enemy lines." The guy said while taking of his mask.
"Same here, so why were those guys running?" Scout asked while he too slid down his mask to show his face.
"We found a group of 15, they were lower level than us by around 10, we managed to easily handle them, but those two managed to escape" He said while pointing towards the two corpse right beside them.
"I see, sorry for taking your kill, you can have the war coins that they dropped." Scout said while getting ready to toss the two coins that he had picked up.
"No need, you killed them, we are on the same team, it's all good" The guy said while laughing.
"I see, thank you very much, well I have to go, I need to get more kills" Scout said while lifting up his mask about ready to leave.
"Ah wait, I almost forgot to inform you Silhouette asked us to find as many of the Shadow Wings as we can, and actually you're the only one left that we need to find." The guy said while reaching out his arm
"What for?" Scout asked
"One of our members found a supply camp, it's being guarded by at least 100 people, and we need as many members as we can."

"Okay, ill join you, I have nothing better to do anyways. Shall we move together?" Scout asked once more
"Together would be great, we could easily kill more people we encounter now. The name is Black Lotus and I'm one of the commanding officers for the Shadow Wings." Black Lotus said with a smile
"My name is Scout nice to meet you" Scout said while reaching out his hand for a hand shake
"Nice to meet you too, now let us move, we need to get there before sundown so that we have a visual of the place." Black Lotus said.
Scout, Black Lotus, and 5 more Shadow Wing members started moving towards where the other Shadow Wing members await them. On the way there they encountered enemies, but they were easily dealt with. They encountered caravans that instantly got killed the minute they saw it. Along the way they managed to kill at least 100 of the enemy forces, Scout gained 2 more levels and more war coins.
Scout and the rest of the Shadow wings finally arrived at the gathering point, everyone was there waiting.
"Looks like everyone is here, heres the plan, we wait till midnight where there would be less activity going on, once it becomes midnight, we do our thing. This is our first task going in as a group, so no mistakes everyone, I will give you more information when the time comes, stay put for now, no unnecessary movements." Silhouette stated.
Almost midnight came before them and Silhouette gathered all of the Shadow Wing members.
"Okay guys, its almost time, the plan is plain and simple, we will form a circle around the camp, and once the game clock strikes 12, we all move in together killing anyone in our way, I will not allow anyone to die, if you are about to die, retreat and drink a potion and come back, understood?" Silhouette asked
*NOD* Everybody nodded in unison, they did not want to attract unwanted attention.
Everyone slowly went to their position forming a circle around the supply camp, they waited and they waited and finally the game clock had struck 12.
They all silently approached the camp, one by one the guards stationed for sentry were taken down. All went according to plan until an enemy finally noticed something was off.
"WHO GOES THERE?!" The enemy asked as a Shadow Wing member was finishing off a sentry.
"INTRUDERS!" The enemy shouted
One by one the enemy came out of their tents and they were all armed to the teeth.
Soon enough the enemy had surrounded 10 of the Shadow Wing members, the surrounded Shadow Wing members were doing well, they could easily dodge most of the attacks, but of course they could not dodge forever.
The enemy were feeling quite confident. They all had started laughing and making fun of the Shadow Wing members for trying to take the camp with only 10 people. They did not expect that there would be 14 more.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * **
The other 14 members were still busy finishing off sentries, they were still at their own designated area when they finally noticed that there other members were being surrounded. They all cleaned up their fair share of sentries and immediately rushed towards the circle striking from behind.
A bloodbath had then started, 24 Shadow Wing members versus 70 something remaining enemies, the number advantage weren't in their favor, however, they were far superior individually.
Everyone was fighting each other, but Scout was doing a different thing, rather than actually fighting, he was supporting and defending his teammates. If his teammates needed to back off to drink a potion, he would cover them, if a teammate was about to be struck a deadly blow, he would instantly run towards the enemy and kill them first. Of course no one in their team knew it was Scout, they were too busy with the fight. Of course Scout had gotten his fair deal of kills too, and amidst all the fighting he had found the supply camp leader.
Once Scout identified the leader, he went ahead and dealt with him first, since he would be the most troublesome. As everyone was busy fighting each other, they were just throwing all their attacks hoping to hit anyone. Scout had taken this chance and shadow stepped behind the enemy leader, and instantly killed him. The leader had dropped 25 war coins which Scout immediately picked up. After he had killed the leader, he went back and supported his teammates without them knowing.
The battle only took an hour, all enemies dead and zero Shadow Wing member dead. Scout only gained 1 level since there was a lot of them. He was now level 65. Once the camp was cleared the camp was now officially property of Chronos, 100 war coins had dropped which they all distributed evenly.
"Good job guys, that was easier than I thought, We still have plenty of darkness ahead of us, and one of our members had found another camp just like this one, so what do you say? Shall we move on to the next one?" Silhouette asked with a smile on her face.
"YEAH!" They all replied in unison.
They went towards the next camp and did the same, they slowly approached the camp in a circle and slowly took care off the sentries, this time it was not the same as the first one, this time, they had managed to clear off the camp without much resistance. The Shadow Wings were now more experienced in stealth. Since there wasn't even that much of a fight, Scout had focused on the offensive.
They cleared the camp and moved on to the next one, this time, it was total annihilation, the enemy didn't even have time to respond. The sun was about to come out, the Shadow Wings had managed to clear 5 more camps, making their total to 8 camps cleared in one night. Scout had gained 5 levels. And a good amount of war coins, in all of the camps, it was him who would always kill the enemy leader. He also had his fair share of normal infantry giving 1 coin per kill. Scout now had 353 war coins, of course Scout did not know if that was plenty or not.
"Okay good stuff guys, we will now separate from here on out, it is almost daybreak and I'm sure word will get out, of course we only managed to clear out a few of the camps out of at least 100 camps. We will now go our separate ways, it will be too suspicious for us to go together, I will give further orders soon enough, for now, we are on our own." Silhouette said as everyone started leaving.
The sun had risen and the second day of war had begun.

OMG Finally posted a chapter, sorry it took a while, I was really busy with my class and work.
Also sorry for the short chapters, with the time I'm given I can't write that much and I want to post chapters in a steady pace, i don't want to post chapters like once a week or something
Hope you guys enjoy, ill try to post another chapter later.
Also the war coin thingies are like PVP points
Also if you have suggestions for the War Coin prizes, that would be great, I already thought some of it like Weapons/Armors, maybe reputation, also like a class that could command NPC soldiers.
EDIT: The prizes aren't necessarily meant for the MC alone, I just wanted ideas that I could put in for the story that may or may not change the game.
Thanks for reading, have a good day
