arthur who was with las smiled and spoke "my lord you are really getting better you can ride a horse by yourself now, it really has been a long time since i saw you do it alone "

las was embarrassed but he smiled "yes by body is not useless now i can do something with it "

arthur spoke back "no my lord i didn't mean that your not useless " las just smiled he looked at william and said "are we far from the position you mentioned to ambush james ?" "no my lord we will be there in an hour "

after an hour they reached the position in one side was flat forest the other had 2 hills and forest

the cannons were at the hills hidden the main army was at the same side with 10 knights and william at the other side were the other 30 knights and 4 cannons with grapeshots leonard was with them las was at a hill at the back of the knights the flags were under the ground they had red and yellow so they could be seen so they hide them

las spoke to his commander's "this is the plan the main force will lure the army of the enemy the cannons will fire at them by the sides , when the two main forces make contact the cannons will fire at the back of the enemy then the knights will charge them from the back when i raise the flag you attack"

"do you understand ?"

"yes lord"

las was satisfied "good go to your position "they saluted and left

james was seen with his army around 700 men and 500 prisoners

the command was given "attack " the cannons gave a roar 17 knights of james died and many soldiers the crossbows fired many died the soldiers were able to fire two times before james gave the order

"they are at our right charge them "the crossbows fired some more both lines after 5 minutes were at melee combat

james spoke "this is the flag of the lord this bastard he thinks he can win ? with this numbers but what killed our knights " then the cannons fired at full force

james was scared "what are those things ??? and what is this tight formation"

the cannons at the back of the army appeared the 4 cannons fired grapeshots the knights were at the back got killed and many of the soldiers died

james looked with terror "my knights they died just like that what are those things "

the soldiers of james saw this they were screaming "demons they are using the power of demons "

"mother please save me " "god is punishing us " "my leg my leg " aaaaa it hurts " the knights screamed "surrender you will be speared for your own good "

most of the soldiers dropped their weapons "please spare me " "im sorry god " some where praying to god

when they saw the knight in a horse like an angel of death they too gave up the cannons did not fire silence and then a scream was heard

"hahahahahahahaha this mut be a joke a joke yes i can't lose like that my plan was perfect hahahahah " it was james he had lost his mind

las walked toward him in a cold tone he spoke " you lost james " james was at his knees pure hatred "you , you are the one who did all this why why why im the one who was supposed to be the lord "

"my father he always favored my brother i was better than him but he never looked at me and now i wanted to make the territory strong why why did you interfered why "

las looked at him like he was pathetic " making your land strong how? by killing your people and make them poor ? your a noble this means responsibility for your people you are pathetic"

james did not spoke back but he raised his sword he attached las a knight got in front of him james slashed his hand off the knight didn't move the other knights killed james

the knight lost an arm " save his life this is an order " las shouted

las thought [fuck ,this body is useless i can't even protect myself from an attack like this , one of my men lost his arm because of my useless body i am just useless]

arthur ran at las "my lord are you all right are you hurt anywhere "

"im fine take care of the wounded soldiers " the knight who lost his arm was saved

after 45 minutes "what are the casualties for our army ?"

william spoke "there are 18 soldiers dead and 24 lightly wounded "

las spoke again " how many prisoners and how many died from the enemy army"

william with a questioning tone " 500 bandit prisoners were there none of them died and james army had 700 soldiers 300 of them died and 60 were wounded"

"hmmmm so 900 prisoners good take all the weapons and armour if they have money take them "

william spoke again "my lord james had 30.000 silver coins and we have taken prisoner the general from before "

las looked at william " hmmm good they had a large amount of money bring the general to talk to me of course in handcuffs"

william didn't protest "yes my lord as you command "

las looked at the back of william [hmmm he didn't protest does he trust me now ?]

the general was brought in ,he was forced to his knees las looked at him and spoke "greeting general " the man did not speak las spoke again " do you understand what happened " the general raised his head and spoke "you ambush us to ger rid of lord james " las Laughed and said " hmmm this is the second time i ambush you general " the knight at the right of las pulled out his helmet the general looked he did not spoke for a minute he was thinking "so you are the one who made us fight each other " the general was smart he understood after all he was a general of james

las spoke "yes i did it was all my plan , but i want to know did james made a pack with the viscount in the south and baron of the west ?" las stopped talking he was hesitant but he spoke with confidence "and the 1 prince of the empire "

the general was surprised " so you knew i will speak its better anyway ,not exactly the 1 prince understood the plan of lord james and he said that if he did not become his supporter he would use his power in the imperial court to make his rule illegitimate " las had some other questions the general said everything he knew

then he said " my lord can you spare my brother he is just 8 years old and my parents if possible "

las smiled "the family of the ones responsible will not be hunted and im not going to kill you either "

after the knight passed las gave the order to march to the capital , the prisoners were brought to the capital from the secret gate but the main army will march the normal way

las had 2 spears with the heads of james and the bandit leader most of the people hated him so its a good image

the drums started to play the army reached the capital the people saw the flag and they were at the road

"wait is that the head of james ???"

"yes i thing it is did the lord killed him "

"but the other head who is it ?"

"its the leader of the bandits i saw him once the lord killed the bandits "

when this was heard all of the people in the capital were at the road

"long live the lord " "long live helstain " "long live the lord " the people were cheering

the soldiers happy with the victory were marching confidently they had the flags high in the air
