Evening had started to arrive, Collar had just finished his preparations with his assaults squad. Once done he then rushed over too Q to inform him of his progress.
"All preparations have been made, we could leave now and meet up with butcher's group before nightfall. There's one problem though" Collar mentioned as he tilted his head toward the cliff's edge.
"Yes I can feel them too, they've been watching us for some time now but they're hesitant".
Q then looked upon Collar, he was brimming with excitement.
"Collar calm down. You'll have a go soon" he said as he then called for Primous.
The Knights had used the remaining parts of the ship to construct a sort of forte but having the sea behind them and a cliff in front, they stood no chance if attacked.
"Primous what do think butcher's doing now?"
"Probably gone off by now, you know how he is. He cant help himself."
"True but Tie should've caught up with him by now. Hopefully he can contain him till you and Collar arrive."
Both Q, Primous and the rest of the Knights broke out in laughter. They all knew that noone could calm or contain him once he let's loose, as the laughter started to decrease they all gave a moment ofsilence for tie and the slaughter core.
Up on the cliff looking down stood several members of blood bear tribe.
"We should just attack them now"one of them said.
"Kane said we're just to observe. As long as these don't stay clear of tribal ground we're fine".
"There's still day light, I'm heading out to regroup with Butcher. He's probably already gotten into some sort of altercation, I'll try to avoid the forest and take the route across this beach".
After informing Q of his plans Primous then set out, along with him he carried the injured and what little supplies they had left.

"Lord Q, Primous may become a target if they see he's traveling with nothing but supplies an our injured comrades. They'll sure be picked off" reported Collar.
"Though several of them are unable to fight, Primous alone should be enough to discourage any onlookers. As for you, you'll be heading out at midnight. Move hastily and smart, reach the others before day break".
"What about you Lord Q?" Collar asked,being concern about those who were still watching.
"They've been watching us but haven't once moved, that says their only gathering Intel and I intend to do the same. I'll head in the opposite direction and circle back. We bless knight are all capable of sensing our own, I'll find you'll" Q stated as he grab hold of Collar hugging him tightly.
Two hours of walking along the coast line Primous spotted a grass path that led a trail along the cliff side. Deciding to follow it he emerged from below and was now facing two paths. *Kneels down to touch the ground*
"I can sense him, he's quiet. These paths probably leads to neighboring villages or towns and from what I just felt Butcher's inactive. Its odd, night will soon come I have to get there before late".
"Which path do we take? Left or right, there's a cliff behind us and a forest in front. Damn it".
"Primous sir, i hate to state the obvious but bout paths could be dangerous for us. We're Cornered between both the forest and the cliff edge.
His flames raged. "Yes, it is obvious" Primous rebutted a he gave his the smart ass death looks. Looking around at his men he saw they were all weary of the journey ahead.
*Inhales Deeply* "Flame Armor, Scatter'. Whoooosh!! Within an instance the entire platoon was clocked in flames."This should prevent any from attack with risking severe burns. Argghh!, might have stretched it a bit".
"Primous sir, this flame cloak may place too much strain on you. We Knights doan fear death, we'll gladly die for the sake of our own" proclaim one of the balton's troop leaders.
With their bodies now cloaked in flames Primous stated that they'll travel through the forest, so if they were to be assaulted he'll spread his flames through out the forest creating a wildfire.
"Wont we get caught in the blaze?"
"No my flames only harm those I select, we'll use the chaos to escape in case of emergency".
Night had crept upon them but none of the watching tribal warriors dear approached them.
"We should report this too Kane, walking ablaze through the forest as if they want us to see them".
"We're close, butcher should be up ahead. Is that a camp fire. Wait,WHAT THE!!?.....Quicken the pace" he commanded.
The now lit platoon raced towards the camp fire, only too witnessed the butcher's first, second and third companies severely depleted.
"One tasks, ONE TASK BUTCHER!!".
