Day 2 of the Chronos-Isris war had officially started, both sides ha suffered a good amount of loses, but that did not stop them from giving it their all.

It was another day of blood infested war, but for Scout it was a little bit different, Scout had successfully managed to infiltrate a castle, he was going about and killing any people that would wander off alone. The entire castle was in an uproar, but Scout was hard to find, there were at least 300 people in the castle, it was like finding a needle in a haystack, some people just thought of Scout as their comrade because he too was inside the castle.

A perfect opportunity had risen for Scout, hell was about to break loose in their area, Chronos soldiers and adventurers were now sieging the castle. They brought several catapults to break down the walls. Of course Scout needed to dodge any incoming rocks. Scout used the siege to his advantage, while everyone was busy trying to fight back, Scout would kill any unsuspecting enemies.

It was chaos everywhere, rocks were flying from both sides, arrows would come raining, and Chronos soldiers had brought siege rams to ram down the gate, of course the castle was equipped with defense mechanisms, they had huge ballistas, they also have catapults of their own, they also have boiling hot oil across the walls.

Scout decided that it was a good strategy to kill first the people that were using the siege equipment. So he ran towards the closest ballista, just as he was about to strike somebody shouted at him and said.

"HEY YOU! GO TO THE COMMANDERS QUARTERS AND ASK HIM TO COME OUT RIGHT NOW! THATS AN ORDER!" The guy said while shooting an arrow.

"Understood sir! I will go right away!" Scout replied playing along with it.

Scout had gotten to the doors of the commanders quarters, it was guarded by 2 people.

"Halt! Who goes there?!" one of the guard asked while pointing his sword at Scout

"Im a friendly, I have an urgent report for the leader! Hurry and let me in!" Scout shouted back

"I see, go on in" The guard replied while sheathing his sword.

Scout went in and placed one knee on the floor and shouted.

"Sir! Urgent report!"

"What is it?" The castle leader said while sitting on a small throne

"We have found the infiltrator!" Scout said while lowering his head.

"Who?! And where is he?!" The leader said as he quickly stood up.

Scout immediately shadow stepped behind the leader and stabbed him in the back.

"Im right here" Scout said while planting his two daggers in the back of the leader, one dagger was not enough, so Scout had to bury another dagger in him.

"Gaaaah!" The leader managed to let out a scream before falling to the ground dropping 50 coins all for Scout to take.

The two guards who were on guard outside suddenly barged through the doors.

"My liege!" The two guards shouted in unison as they started running towards Scout with their weapons held up high.

Both of the guards were filled with rage, they started slashing and striking Scout, they were too blinded by rage that they did not think too much of their swings, this made it easier for Scout to easily dodge their attacks.

Scout swung his right hand striking of the guards chest, in a split second Scout used the same hand and stabbed the guard in the neck. The guard fell dead and Scout ran towards the other guard now. Scout used the momentum from his run to slide down, as he was sliding he struck the remaining guards leg, which rendered the guard immobilized, the guard fell to his knees. Scout quickly stood up and ran towards the guard and slit the guards throat, which immediately killed him.

Scout then scoured the room for any loots that he could find, and he did, he found a chest, and where there is a chest, there is bound to be some good stuff. The chest contained 34 gold a ring, and some gems that could be sold for a good amount. Scout also picked up his war coins, Scout then went ahead and inspected his ring, it was blood red.

Scout was amazed, he could always use more HP items since he never really invested stat points in his vitality, now he can take more damage before he would die. Scout also had gained one more level for killing the castle lord.

His stats had gone up quite a bit, his skills also had risen making him even more stronger.

Scout immediately left the room and checked to see how the siege was going. As he stepped out, the Isris soldiers were in a disarray, their leader was not present to command them, little did they know that their leader was already dead. They all fell into confusion, they started panicking now knowing what to do, the more they panicked the less resistance they would give. Soon enough the gate was successfully rammed down and Chronos soldiers started pouring in. Just as the Chronos soldiers were coming inside, a wall had crumbled and fell, the castle how had 2 huge openings for Chronos soldiers to get into.

Scout decided to Shadow Step outside of the castle where he would join Chronos soldiers, there was a high chance of him getting mistaken for an enemy if he had stayed longer inside the castle walls.

Scout joined his fellow Chronos soldiers and started killing anyone left inside the castle, some Isris soldiers managed to escape, but they let them off. Their goal was the castle, and they got it. Everyone had gotten war coins automatically added to their inventory, the higher their contribution was, the higher amount of coins they got. Scout got 100 coins after the capture of the castle, plus a couple more coins for killing more enemies.

Scout tried to leave to castle, but it was too late, they were all being rallied, they were given orders to assault another city. He was already caught in the middle of everything. Scout had nothing better to do but to participate in the castle siege. They moved out towards the next castle, they only have what had remained of them from the last siege, barely 300 people sieging a castle that have at least 500.

In a few hours of marching, they had already arrived at their destination, it was a castle fully prepared to repel their attacks, they once the Chronos soldiers were already in range, they already started firing their ballistas and counter catapults.

As huge rocks were flying everywhere, showers of arrows had joined in, and soon enough, the gates of the castle had opened up, but it wasn't to let people in, it was to let people out. Isris soldiers were coming out of the castle, they were now the ones going on the offensive.

A war of its own had started, arrows and magic were flying from all directions, warriors were clanking metals. Scout however was not in the middle of it, he was already behind enemy lines, he was taking out the support troops, he was killing archers, mages and healers, of course Scout was not alone, other thieves and assassins were with him too. They slowly took out the enemy support and shifted the tide of the war to their side.

Isris soldiers were being overwhelmed and stared to retreat back, they opened the gates so that they could come back in, they were now stuck in the defensive. Scout took this chance to get inside the castle amidst all of the confusion. Other Chronos soldiers tried to get inside the gate, but arrows and magic rained upon them. Once the rain of fire had passed, they had started approaching the gate.

Scout had noticed that there were Chronos soldiers outside the gate. Isris soldiers were still in disarray and in low morale after loosing the melee against Chronos; Scout took this chance to kill the gate keeper and opened the gates. Isris soldiers were surprised, they were still in disarray.

"WHO THE HELL OPENED GATES?!" An Isris soldier shouted

"CLOSE IT IMMEDIETLY!" Another soldier shouted

"HAHAHAHAHA! TOO LATE WERE ALREADY INSIDE!" A Chronos soldier that looked pretty high level ran inside laughing.

Chronos soldiers slowly entered the castle and started wiping out the Isris soldiers. The Isris soldiers were too low on morale to even put up a resistance.

Scout had took this chance to go towards where the leader was, the leader was cowering in his quarters, Scout kicked on the door and started running towards the castle leader, he did not put up much of a fight, he was alive, but the leader's eyes looked already dead. Scout easily dealt with leader. A hundred war coins had dropped which Scout picked up all for himself. Scout then looked for some other loot, he found another chest, the chest contained 50 gold coins and 150 war coins.

Scout then slowly left the room and help clear out the enemy castle. in an hour they had cleared the castle of enemy soldiers, even the castle leader did not put up much of a fight. Scout had gotten 2 levels and a good amount of war coins from opening the gate.

Chronos soldiers within the castles were celebrating, but little did they know that on the other side of the battlefield, they too lost some castles, the war was still evenly matched.

Scout went back behind enemy lines now without problem. Nightfall had begun and a new war for Scout had begun.

Scout was informed that the Shadow Wings were to be together once more, Scout started running towards the designated area. When Scout got there, almost all of the Shadow Wings were there. After 20 minutes everyone had finally gathered.

"Glad to see everyone is still alive we have a new mission, we will be meeting up with our other guild members later at daybreak." Silhouette said

*MURMUR* Everyone started talking wondering what will happen

"Don't worry, its just a mission, when daybreak comes, we will silently infiltrate a castle, we will kill of any guards and watchmen and we will open the gates for our other guild members, this will help our guilds reputation." Silhouette stated

"Sounds good to me" a Shadow Wing member said

"Yeah, seems like fun" another one stated with a smile.

"Okay, good, looks like everyone is on board, we will be scouting the area to see if we have any possible entry points, lets move out now so that we have an adequate amount of time." Silhouette once more stated already running towards the enemy castle.

The Shadow Wing members had arrived at their destination at around 4 am game time. They then slowly scoured the area to see if there were any entry points, and they found one, it was a small sewer that could fit one person at a time.

At 5 am game time, they would execute their plan, they would one by one go inside the sewer and slowly infiltrate the enemy castle. They had checked to see how many night guards there were across the walls, there were at least 30 people guarding the walls alone.

5 am had struck and their operation had begun, the first one to go in was Black Lotus, followed by Silhouette, then the rest of the Shadow Wings. Scout took a different route, The castle can be easily infiltrated by him using his Shadow Step skill.

Scout shadow stepped to a ledge, he was now hanging, he shadow stepped to a ledge where there was only one guard. Scout then started tapping the ledge where he was at to attract the attention of the sole guard. The guard slowly walked over to see what the noise was, but that was his mistake, Scout suddenly lifted himself up and instantly stabbed the guard in the neck and immediately threw him over the wall. This all happened just before their operation had begun.

Scout then went into stealth and slowly walked over the next guard, but this time they were a pair, they were in the corner wall, each facing different directions. Scout had gotten over to where they were. He then quickly stabbed both of them in their necks and pushed them off the cliff.

The *THUD* noise that the body made while falling attracted the attention of a nearby guard. Scout noticed the guard approaching, the guard noticed Scout and was about to scream but Scout immediately Shadow Stepped behind the guard and placed his hand over the guards mouth while stabbing the guard as many times as he can before the guard died. He then pushed the guard off the wall.

Scout had noticed that more and more Shadow Wing members were already inside the castle. Scout decided to jump down from the wall so that he won't attack attention and go towards the sewer entrance. As Scout jumped down he had lost a good amount of health, but nothing a potion can't fix. Scout drank his potion and went towards the sewer entrance, it seems he was the only one left.

Scout entered the sewers and after about 10 seconds of walking he was at the entry point, he came out of it and noticed that everything was going perfectly, no enemies were alarmed yet, and when an enemy is alarmed, the enemy would not have the chance to react, because there would be a person behind him and kill him immedietaly.

The Shadow Wings were do so well that they decided to tread deeper into the castle, they would go in groups inside the castle barracks and clear out each and every single room. In just one hour, the Shadow Wings had managed to clear out the entire castle all by themselves, they even killed the castle lord without any problems. They all divided the loot between themselves.

The only thing for the Shadow Wing to do was wait for their guild mates to come and occupy the castle under their name. At 6 am game time, The Free Wing Mercenary had arrived at the castle, they weren't surprised that the gate was open, they expected that much, but what was surprising was that the castle was already cleared out by the Shadow Wings.

"Hahahaha you guys did a good job!" Evan, the guild leader said while laughing

"Thank you sir" Silhouette stated while bowing her head.

"With this our guilds name will become ever more famous, also I would like to meet the person that managed to not only register us, but register us as the first guild." Evan said while still laughing

"About that. . . " Silhouette said while scratching her face

"Yes?" Evan asked with a confused look

"We don't know who managed to do it, he or she doesn't want to be recognized so I left it at that." Silhouette said while lowering her head.

"Alright, anyways that does not matter now, ill give everyone under 5 wings another wing for a job well done, also each member will be granted one more dark wing to their mark" Evan said while once more laughing.

"Understood sir, thank you very much" Silhouette bowed down.

"Let us celebrate! Bring out the food, everyone must be tired from the journey! Have fun!" Evan shouted

"YEAH! WOOOHOOO!" everyone cheered in unison.

Scout and the rest of the Shadow Wings had gotten more wings, Scout was now officially a B class with 3 wings, and he now has 2 black wings.

The Free Wing Mercenary guild was now once more a whole, and started celebrating their reunion.
