As the dust settled and the chaos of battle began to dissipate, those fortunate enough to escape injury set about the task of creating a makeshift camp. Tents were hastily erected using whatever materials could be found, and fires were kindled to ward off the evening chill. Cu Chulainn (Caster) moved among the survivors, his presence a reassuring constant as he lent his strength and expertise to the efforts.
Kadoc Zemlupus stood apart, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. Despite his best efforts to maintain his composure, his hands betrayed him, trembling slightly as he tried to keep them hidden. A magus should never show weakness, he reminded himself, tightening his grip until his knuckles turned white.
Ritsuka Fujimaru's group approached, accompanied by Mash Kyrielight and a contingent of soldiers, Kadoc forced himself to focus. Ritsuka, her eyes were like light that had dimmed as her Mystic Code had been painted with blood like his own.
Beside her was Mash as she walked with a Massive shield with ease. Who would have thought that she would become like this. Yet it was evident that she was also not at her best with a complicated expression on her face.
Kadoc forced a smile, nodding to Ritsuka. "Ritsuka, Mash," he greeted them, his voice steady despite the tremor in his hands. "It's good that you could gather allies at a time like this."
Ritsuka nodded in response, her lips pressing into a thin line. She didn't say anything, her gaze flicking away as she walked past him without another word. Kadoc watched her go, a pang of understanding hitting him. She wasn't used to this—the blood, the chaos. It was taking its toll.
Mash stepped forward, filling the silence. "Allow me to introduce Mr. Thomas Lawrence," she said, her voice steady and calm. "He's the reason these soldiers are here to help us."
Kadoc turned his attention to the man standing behind Mash, it was man in his early thirties wearing an officer uniform one would see on an officer
"Mr. Lawrence," Kadoc acknowledged, extending his hand. "Your assistance is invaluable. We owe you our thanks."
Lawrence took Kadoc's hand in a firm grip. "We're all in this together," he replied. "I guess you're from the Clock tower?"
It surprised Kadoc that this man knew about the clock tower but maybe he was also a Magus yet it wasn't a conversation that one would have in the company of so many people at least.
With that he only nodded and continued to ask. "So, Mr. Lawrence could you tell me what's been happening? I thought the war was about to end?"
The man also nodded and replied. "Yes it was about to and from what I could gather we were about to win but the Germans somehow started a counter attack stronger than before and the Japanese have also started attacking France due to that many have died and most of our allies have been reduced."
Kadoc frowned, absorbing the information. "A stronger counterattack... it doesn't make sense. Do you think they have new weaponry or reinforcements?"
Thomas Lawrence shook his head. "It's possible. The Germans somehow have been able to get these people that are tearing down full armies without a single loss. Even the Japanese have someone calling herself Nobunaga and has 4 generals helping her out."
Cu Chulainn (Caster) joined them, having overheard the conversation. "This means that they may have summoned Servants and one has the Holy Grail."
Kadoc nodded thoughtfully. "We'll need to investigate further. But for now, let's focus on regrouping and fortifying our position. We can't afford to be caught off guard again."
With that everyone nodded and went their way.
