Silv smiled as Crux shot up and offered his suggestion, such a eager man, "The Emperor has already pondered this and has seen to it that a real army is being raised. We have called the banners of the North and 20,000 men are being summoned and trained to march south and west to kill the traitors. If the East even sends us 10,000 we will have more then enough to rain hell down upon the villainous fiends. Fear not for army Crux, ride with haste and carry out your mission. The other champions make their way home even now and will march the new troops to battle. Once you have secured the East's support you will receive orders from a rider as to where to march in reinforcement." Silv bowed before Crux signifying that audience was over and he was to prepare to head East.
Once Crux and his troop made it out of the northern boundaries they entered the foothills of the East. Giant mounds of dirt and rocks with villages built on, around, and in the hills. They road through miles of these hills before hitting the mountains of East. The mountains were giant, some reaching into the sky, and this was were the great fortresses and cities of the East called home. The mountains were a perilous path and slowed down the groups progress by days. However they soon reached the mile wide bridge that lead to the Minos the capital of the East. Minos was a giant city built on four islands connected by giant stone bridges that could hold entire towns on them. In the center of the four islands was a mountain, smaller than some but vast non the less, that jutted out of the water into the air. On this mountain was the castle of King of Minimoto. As Curx reached the giant stone bridge that was the entrance to the city the guard noticed their banner and stopped them.
"Soldiers of the North, what business do you have in Minos?" a guard captain in full plate armor asked Crux as they slowed to a halt.

As Crux was supervising the training of his regiment a rider on a black stallion galloped towards him, "I bear the word of the Emperor. Lord Crux, I bear the words of our Emperor and his commands for you spoken by Hand of the King lord Blan." Nearing Crux the rider reared his horse to a stop and dismounted, before the giant that was Crux the man was puny and small, but having been bestowed the commands he stood as tall as Crux did.
Bowing he began his report, "My Lord, Lady Hillia Beuboun, The Valkyrie, is riding forth with 3,000 soldiers from Minomoto's mountain fortress'. The Emperor is sending another 3,000 soldiers to meet Lady Beuboun's soldiers in the hills just above the southern lands to the East of Kalbor. When all have assembled the two of you are to raid into the lands of the South to gather information and disrupt their preparations in any way possible."
With this news Crux and Muez could afford no time and had to make for the hills to the south at once. They made the trip before their men could arrive, but Lady Beuboun and her forces, being familiar with the land, beat them to the destination. The forces were gathering in a wooden fort that had been used as nothing but an observation post by a skeletal crew for hundreds of years. Now the fort burst with life and the army and the followers of the army moved in and out as they turned the dusty outpost back into a proper fort to use as a forward base for the raids Crux was to lead.
Amongst the rankor of the an entire 3,000 men, 30 regiments, Crux's forces seemed unimpressive. Fresh young men who only had the whisps of beards on their faces totted around in freshly made leathers and chainmail. A variety of spears, swords, axes, and weapons whose design and name were foreign to Crux moved here and there through the camp. The training rooms of the arena might have held more impressive individuals, but the sight of so many men preparing for war was incredible to behold.

Lady Beauboun turned from her table and smiled a smile of white sharp teeth. She stood up and looked Crux in the eyes wither her golden irsises. Lady Beauboun stood just a little shorter than Crux, but her giant wings spanned above Crux's head. Her wings where pure white and in pristine condition, not a single one frieghed, during battle a metal mesh was wrapped loosely around them to offer protection. The white would shine throw the metal and radiate a beautiful shine. Her face was that of an angel; golden eyes and hair that framed perfect rosy skin.
She bowed to Crux, "It is good to see you Crux, Shield of the North, I have been waiting for you. My troops have already begun refortifying our base as you can see and I received word from my riders that your men should be here on the morrow or the next day." With that she turned from Crux and moved back over to the table from whence she had been sitting. "Since the feud broke out I have reached into Minimoto's libraries and pulled from them old military books.Tomes and scrolls from the dark days where wars waged across the lands endlessly. I have only read though a few of them, but I believe I starting to see some of the ways of old."
Muez looked on in curosity and asked what she had learned. Lady Beauboun smiled and turned towards the puppeteer, "Ah Muez, you have been well I would hope? Well I have read about a similar battle to the one we are to commence. In this battle the commander did not march out his troops in force to burn the lands, instead he sent multiple smaller bands to raid and pillage separate areas at once. The enemy was thrown off by trying to move its forces between the locations and eventually split into small groups to match the raiders. However once they had done this the raiders returned to their lands and marched into force through the middle slaughtering the group there and cutting off the other groups from each other. That is the strategy I propse we use."
