Surprise Invasion
Author; Drustan Leo Alvarez
...................Silence.....................
Jose says, "####, they're coming."
Drustan replies, "Indeed. It seems The Elder Wizard That Has Taken Gran Fo Stato, has sent an invasion force to capture Esvritaina."
Kelwyn asks, "Should we make a run for it."
Drustan answers, "No, with our fire lit they must've noticed us by now. We begin our attack immediately. Bella, It seems they have made camp on the hills surrounding that small valley (He Points) and in the small valley itself. They wouldn't do so in this rain if they hadn't dug trenches to keep out the rain waters. I want you to aim at the soil right below the tops of the hills they've made camp on surrounding the valley they've made camp in,... Immediately!"
Bella who is surprised answers, "Ah yes sir!"
Drustan orders, "Kelwyn, ready your bow. Jose, Raider, I want you ready to move at a moments notice."
Bella begins firing explosive mana bolts, at the ordered areas.
The earth and soil, at the tops and sides of the hills, give way and become land slides.
The Landslide uproots the camps on top of the hills, and send earth, soil, goblins, hobgoblins, undead skeleton soldiers, and ghouls, into the small valley they also made camp in.
The landslide fills the trenches and piles onto the camp below, as the heavy pouring rain floods the camp below.
The heavy rain further induces the landslide, causing it to completely cover the camp below while it further floods it with earthy water and mud.
Due to the landslide, the heavy rain further destabilizes the tops of the hills washing them into the valley that is now filled further with the corpses and debris of their enemies.

A few stragglers begin to move at the tops of the hills when...
Drustan yells, "Kelwyn now! Fire at the remaining stragglers! Bella fire more bolts to finish off those who remain, focus on the tents still on top of the hill even if they are misshapen! We must keep them from regrouping! Raider Jose scout our perimeter they may have sent scouts before we noticed their fire. Bring me at least two alive for interrogation."
As Kelwyn and Bella fire at the remaining survivors, Drustan uses his magic ring to summon a bow, then starts firing at the remaining stragglers as well.
...After A While...
Drustan, Bella, and Kelwyn have stopped firing and the hills where the enemy camp once was is now badly misshapen and disheveled, while the small valley they surround is filled with water, mud, and earth, that has buried their enemies.
Jose, and Radier return.
Jose is carrying a hobgoblin on his right shoulder and a goblin on his left shoulder, while Raider has blood on his hands forearms, boots and some splattered on his face, as he wears a satisfied smile.
Drustan hears their footsteps and turns to see them, he looks at Raider with a calm but worried expression.
Raider goes straight to the smoked wolf and starts eating his gauntlets still covered in blood.
Jose arrives in front of Drustan and drops the two prisoners in front of him.
Drustan asks Jose, "How was he?.."
Jose replies, "Tsk. You know how he is, sadistic ####er####er."
Drustan replies with a concerned expression, "Yah. Thanks for carrying them both yourself, I know he's hard to manage in combat."
Jose answers, "I only did it because I was ordered to, someone as strong me shouldn't have to do menial labor."
Jose walks past him toward the smoked and salted Wolves on a rack, as Bella, and Kelwyn walk up to see what the fuss is about.
Drustan Crouches down and looks the HobGoblin straight in the eyes, then says, "Tell me what an entire army is doing in the foothills."
The Green human like Goblin with pointed ears, yellow eyes, and a massive sharp toothed underlapping jaw, stares right back at him straight in the eye, silently.
They stare at each other no more than a minute before the Hobgoblin's stare begins to waver and look frightened.
Drustan speaks, "Should I hand you over to him." He points at Raider with his thumb who is currently sitting on a rock while eating vigorously. Still covered in blood as before.
The HobGoblin quickly replies in fear, "No! N n no sir. He cut off the limbs of half of my squad while he watched them crawl away before taking his time killing each of them in front of each other, with a ####ed up smile on his face. He's psychotic!"
Drustan nods saying, "Hmm." as if he is thinking.
HobGoblin hurriedly begs, "Please Sir, please, please I'll talk okay, I'll talk just don't let him toy with me."
Drustan replies, "Then start talking."
HobGoblin, "Okay. We were ordered Emporer Ekrin, The Elder Blood, to march through the foothills towards Estrivaina, and conquer it for him, while his werewolves kept their military busy."
Drustan quickly stabbed the Hobgoblin in the heart then decapitated the goblin soldier.
Drustan says to Bella and Kelwyn next him, "It seems they don't know we are on our way, but they are the very reason why we were the only ones sent."
Bella, "Mm, yes it seems so."
She looks at Drustan while biting her lip, as her pupils begin to dilate, again.
Kelwyn suddenly asks, "Ummm... why exactly is that again?"
Drustan replies, "Hm, oh, were you not briefed before we got here by Raider?"
Kelwyn replies, "Uuuuh, n no, I was at that tavern the day before we set out, drinking."
Drustan agitatedly says, "###### Raider, sometimes I think he does this on purpose, he even said he told you when you were sober."
Kelwyn, "...."
Bella, "...."
Jose and Radier, "Om Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom."
Drustan replies, "Alright, well basically Werewolves have been attacking the towns and villages of Our Kingdom for a while now, and because that most of The Army is off fighting them on the west side of the kingdom, while the rest is guarding the capital Gaelin Esva. Thus when The much smaller neighboring City State, Gran Fo Stato was conquered by an Elder Wizard and his army, we were the only ones available so they sent us. Our Mission is to establish an outpost in Fattoria, train the villagers and hold out for reinforcements so we can conquer Gran Fo Stato."
Kelwyn, ".........Wait.. What!"
