"Right!" shouted Valkyrie when everybody had loaded up. "Let's move out! If a troop is spotted..."

She was interrupted by a nearby explosion and a collapsing building as one of the minor ships fired onto the city in the vicinity.

She growled and cursed, before yelling out her orders in a slightly irritated mood, hoping that no more foes would interrupt her speech: "IF A TROOP IS SPOTTED, DON'T JUST STAND IN A GROUPED FORMATION! YOU WILL BE SITTING DUCKS BY THEN! SPREAD OUT INSTEAD AND FIRE UPON THOSE BLOODY STEELHEADS! EVERYONE GOT THAT?! GOOD! LET'S MOVE!"

Wraith had managed to get aboard the pirate ship. Barely... The rebel was still bleeding quite badly and was dragging entire red marks after the cape...

"Hopefully... the engines... still works on this thing..."

After reaching the control room and checking the systems, the rebel was in luck. The engines were half-burned, but still functional. At least functional enough to lift from the burning remains of The Bastard's Edge and her sisters. The hull of the pirate ship was broken due to the impact it had taken from crashing onto the deck of The Bastard's Edge, but with a little further luck, it wouldn't matter in the end.

"Come on, work damn you!" cursed Wraith as the engines were coughing with restrained power.

The mountainside came closer for each passing second. There couldn't be more than sixty yards until heavy impact...

"Down she goes!" cheered the captain at Victorius' ship as they watched another of Maximilian's ships crash on the outskirts of the city.

"It looks like those siege ships will soon be nothing more than a bad memory", said Victorius. "But its the inside of the city that worries me!"

"Don't worry about the soldiers", replied the captain. "They won't survive this. As soon as we have taken their ships from the sky, we will land and then retake the city! By now we must surely outnumber them three to one! Besides the city has fought back valiantly enough as it is!"

He then looked at the city. "It looks bad. It is bad. It may be burning, but this devastation is nothing that time won't mend. We still haven't lost as long as there are still people fighting in there. Maximilian's dream won't come true. Not today!"
