31- Toslan never forgive
With these words both captains begin to give the new orders, SombraRoja was evident with quite a bit of impetus, however, he would not comply to the letter with everything he said. He begins to move all of his men, waits one night, and arrives in Stela the next morning. Once there, he begins to notice that the local military is beginning to withdraw along with several locals. The moment he reaches the door, he stops everyone and comments to them.
“Brothers of St. Jack,” cries RedShadow very eloquently. I bring with me the brave men who supported the people of Shockstel in their Defense from the Terevillian tyrants. For a few days, we will provide you protection from any possible invader. Since we will send his men to Stela, to give them new instructions. In return, I will only ask for a pair of brave hands to support this cause with their great effort and enthusiasm. We will help supply the army and thus it will be impossible for any invader to damage or take these beautiful lands, since for nothing in the world we rebels will allow ourselves to lose a village.
All soldiers other than SombraRoja had to immediately go to Stela. After a while, he visualized some scouts and gave them another order:
—Hey guys!
-Yes Sir!
—As you see, we are withdrawing all the soldiers from the village towards Stela, your captain PlagueGrass and I have reached an extra confidential agreement, so, the order that I am going to give you cannot be mentioned to anyone except the people to which they must go immediately.
—Understood, sir, it will be an honor to fulfill this great duty. —says one of the explorers excitedly—.
—You must go to Werks and deliver to the elders this letter communicating a peace treaty with Teresville and the Defense of Jalagh.
—Are we giving up, sir?
—Not at all a soldier, but the casualties in Shockstel have forced us to pause this conflict. Apart from that, Toslan wants to hear the proposal of Werks and Elisod's men, he will not come personally, like a good coward, but he will send one of his men. They must meet here in ten days.
—Is the letter for someone specific?
—Any of the elders, usually have “sacred” meetings for these types of situations.
—Understood, Sir.
The explorers quickly head towards the docks to set sail on their journey to the Ambelon continent and deliver the letter assigned to them.
Captain Redshadow's army begins to send several soldiers on vigil throughout the town, hanging around taverns, churches, and the central square, and making sure that there are no soldiers left that were not their own in all of St. Jack. After a couple of hours, people began to feel some fear and insecurity. They directly ordered them all to continue in their jobs as farmers, barricade repairers, and blacksmiths and to give 150% of their efforts to help defend against a possible attack. But as several days passed the entire village continued working tirelessly to supply the army with reinforcements for their armor, arrows for their archers, and food for their soldiers, remaining completely at the mercy of SombraRoja since no one entered or left. There are five days of tension and suddenly, shouts of warning are heard from one of the guard towers. RedShadow immediately orders his men to move to the outskirts, only a few of his soldiers remain inside this small town. Outside you begin to hear arrows, screams, and sword blows. All the villagers enter their houses, by order of the captain, his men outside were playing, there was no battle in reality. That's what they wanted the locals to believe. RedShadow looks for other uniforms that he had kept in a hiding place when he arrived and everyone who was wearing these black and scary uniforms enters the city with savagery. You begin to hear the soldiers running around, arrows sticking into the doors of their homes, and battle cries throughout the village. The villagers in their homes were very scared, the order for SombraRoja's men was not to leave anyone alive, thus beginning a chilling massacre of many innocents. Some farmers try to fight these savages when they break down their doors but any effort is useless. All over St. Jack could be heard screams of women snatching children from their arms to devour them, old men praying to their gray flowers, cries of pain as they were brutally slaughtered, children decapitated, pieces of visors on the farms of those who tried to kill them. fleeing desperately and several RedShadow men devouring all this. Spitting out gnawed clothes everywhere, some peasants try to hide in small dens in the village, but unfortunately, RedShadow's men already knew where all the shelters in the village were located, so survival from this is carni inhumane crime became enormously complicated. After killing every living being, in the center of the village Captain Redshadow writes in the blood of several corpses, TOSLAN XI DOES NOT FORGIVE, leaving light blue flowers around him. He begins the withdrawal of all his men and leaves the doors open for any next visitor to visualize this morbid situation. Only the men of SombraRoja knew all this. The people had been massacred by their supposed protectors, to get the rest of the allies to join the war by force, demonizing the enemy king. This atrocious plan at the hands of SombraRoja, a man indoctrinated in his lands to handle situations violently and according to him, only in this way was 100% effectiveness achieved in the missions or objectives. The leaders of the Akados in Osland used these tactics to achieve their goals, always with blood involved.
After the withdrawal of SombraRoja's men, in one of the almost destroyed houses, inside, among a pile of ashes, deep beneath the rubble and hidden among several corpses, there was a survivor who managed to hide in this massacre, his name was Ferzan Marrins.
