Leonidas let the Duke and Balthazar say their piece about the mission and listened to Faira and Zatana's comments. "[color=fff200][b]I would prefer if you avoid their patrols and scouts. Again this force seems much different than normal Orc forces and I don't want to tip them off to anything. But if you can't avoid confronting them... No survivors, we want them to get the least amount of information possible...[/b][/color]" He said bluntly. Leonidas didn't want to leave anything up to chance with this. War was a messy thing and one mistake could loose you the battle. After a few more instructions and such back and forth Leonidas dismissed Zatana and Faira giving them an hour to rest and prepare for their mission. With that done Leonidas retired from the war room for the night returning to the room that had been prepared for him in the keep.

From his room Leonidas was able to see a group of what must of been a group of militia practicing into He gave a sigh seeing the common folk being drawn into the fighting, although he was proud of his subjects for stepping up to defend their homes. Then he saw Acrius walking up to the group. Leonidas watched Acrius dismantle the poor recruit and just shook his head. "[color=fff200][b]I need to get that dog a leash... Can't have him fighting every soldier in the empire...[/b][/color]" He thought to himself as he watched Acrius walk away fallowed by one of the other recruits that had witnessed the "training session". After watching the city for a while Leonidas decided to take a stole around the city, but first he wanted to take care of something. Leonidas made his way to Balthazar's chambers knowing the old man would most likely still be up. After knocking and being let in Leonidas entered and gave him a grin. "[b][color=fff200]So Balthazar I had a question for you. Have you received an update from your agent in Helmsguard? I noticed you haven't mentioned them in your reports lately.[/color][/b]" He asked trying to sound professional, but Balthazar knew exactly which agent Leonidas meant, and exactly why the prince was asking. After the two talked for a while Leonidas would take his leave before heading out to walk the city.

When Acrius left the training field it took a little bit but then he heard someone approaching behind him. "[color=f49ac2][b]That was amazing Acrius! Could you teach me to do that?[/b][/color]" A familiar voice came from behind him. When he turned he would see Elizabeth dressed in some tight fitting Leather armor with a small buckler and a shield. "[color=f49ac2][b]I decided I can't sit back and let these things attack our home! You inspired me to take action.[/b][/color]" She said before running up and grabbing ahold of his arm. "[color=f49ac2][b]I'm still new at this though so you'll protect me out there wont you?[/b][/color]" Elizabeth said in a cute manner. She would continue to cling onto him her grip seeming to tighten. And if Acrius looked around he would notice something that would chill him to the bone. Elizabeth had him trapped, there were none of the royal guard around to save him from her this time. How would he get away from this girl this time?

As Rudolph made his way back to the barracks he would hear a familiar voice come from behind him. "[b][color=6ecff6]Still Going around playing the perfect soldier I see.[/color][/b]" The voice said and Rodolph would turn to see the grinning face of Sargent Fullar leaning against a wall, "[color=6ecff6][b]Glad to see you haven't changed.[/b][/color]" He finished off his sentence before standing up to go greet his friend. "[color=6ecff6][b]Heard you had a little excitement today, My unit just arrived before nightfall so we will be joining the defense lines in the morning. How many did you end up taking out. I want to know how much of a handicap I'll have to deal with out there?[/b][/color]" he continued coming up wrapping his arm around Rodolph. "[color=6ecff6][b]Also I heard you got to ride with the Prince. Is he a snobby Noble like the rest? Or is there actually something different about him? Don't keep me out of the loop man[/b][/color]" Fullar said walking with Rodolph back to the Barracks.
