[sup]Arcadia's Outer Rim ⚜ Engaging Bonesword[/sup][/color][/b][/h3][/center]
Victoire's smile grew wider as Bonesword demonstrated the will to listen to her words, instead of going straight for the smite, leaving enough time for Victoire to assess battlefield's condition and see how bad were the odds of their faction coming out victorious. Though, even on the brink of defeat, Victoire could come up with a few gambits to try and tip the scales in their favor.

[i][color=crimson]"Avaritia, there are enemies closing in very fast on your position, they are like to be the Machina on those fighter planes. Finish your quarry and try to rendezvous with me, as fast as possible,"[/color][/i] The vampire said telepathically to Henry, following then to Balrog. [i][color=crimson]"Balrog, try to hold your ground, we need your power to take down the other factions snipers. Destroy your enemy's flight capabilities, if possible and throw them off the islands, or just stall until support arrives."[/color][/i] Having finished with Balrog, Victoire turned to the one who would actually decide if they would walk away from Arcadia in one piece, or not. [i][color=crimson]"Ice Demon,"[/color][/i] she said, regarding Gelgath, [i][color=crimson]"quit your ramblings and join Balrog, his powers are essential for our victory. Let he die and you too shall taste defeat. Send your army to harass the snipers that are literally littering these damned islands, we cannot do anything until we are free of those furtive pests. If we lose because you are too arrogant to comply, you'll wish Ira was the one out for your head."[/color][/i]

Having finished her mental broadcast, Victoire addressed Bonesword once more, making sure that the small pause in her speech came of as she considering her dialogue options, instead of battle coordination. [color=crimson]"Now then, my proposal is simple. Take these and leave me be, or better yet join the side to which you rightfully belong. You'll find that this is nothing but a minor token, compared to all the wealth Hell has to offer. A swordsman of your caliber certainly would be very well appreciated on our legion,"[/color] the demonic vampire said, being careful to not show any apparent signs of being an immediate threat as her backup plans where slowly being put into motion. Even now, some of Arcadia's islands, hit by the stray seeds Syphax blew away sometime ago, were beginning to sprout her rose fields, soon enough her deadly mist would cover the flying archipelago, as her roses bloomed and spread their malignant pollen to seed the other islands.

It was just a matter of time before Victoire would be the ruler of these Hanging Gardens.
