"Gentlemen."
Lord Bainbridge stepped out from a shadow, a wicked glint in his eye.
"I'll give you a minute to reconsider."

“We have our orders,” the leader affirmed. “There is nothing to reconsider. Our orders also included subduing any magical entities, but we haven’t opened fire on your family, now have we?” The leader of the group revealed he was simply taking orders. With the revelation of the magical entities bit, he revealed a rare amount of decency that one wouldn’t think a Dragonheart soldier had.

"And those orders come from your Warlord?"
Winnie was now wrapped in Emma's arms, but the half-elven did not look afraid. Pitying, if nothing else.

“Affirmative,” the soldier answered.

"In that case, our quarrel is with him. Leave and you will return to him unscathed. If you choose to stay, I cannot vouch for your well-being."

“We cann-“ before the leader of the group could finish his statement, his communicator started beeping. He quickly answered. “Yes, Warlord?”
“I’m calling in for a status report. Has the Bainbridge estate been looted yet? When you’re done there, I need you to reconvene at Necropolis,” the warlord’s conniving voice barked.
“There have been a few problems, but nothing as of yet. We have yet to come across any magical beings yet, but we will keep our eyes peeled,” the soldier informed.
“Those two snobs must be out somewhere. Excellent. We must take advantage of this. Take all you can and then blow up the mansion for good measure.” The last thing heard from the warlord was the sound of ear-splitting laughter before he turned off his communicator.

"He knows there is a child here, correct?" Hrothbert asked, his tone mild.
Emma took a step back, instinctively shielding Winnie.

“He knows,” one of the soldiers answered. “You see, he is trying to emulate our great late emperor. The warlord wishes to show no mercy. We do what we can without causing excess casualties.”
“The warlord is a brutal man. He eventually seeks to slay Emperor Alston of the new empire,” the leader explained.

"Then we shall show him the same." the sorcerer replied.
"Now, get out." Emma hissed, her arms still wrapped tightly around her child.

An angry elf hardly scared the men. Even the one soldier that was cleaning up the mud wasn’t afraid. Emma managed to make him feel ashamed of himself, but he wasn’t afraid. If anything, the calm demeanor of her more soft-spoken husband was what really made them hesitant to continue. Without any further delay, the men took their leave.
