It had been sunrise exactly one year since the beginning of the invasion of Zaun's territory. The sheer size of the army the Kr士 created pulling out of the Zaunian Desert, caused violent winds to blow from the south, creating a large dust storm. Kr士, tired, filthy and extremely hungry, used dust and dirt as cover from any Zaunian soldier that may happen to come into the campsite and had been resupplying the army with provisions for weeks.
As the sun rose almost completely into the sky, the Kr士 had been finally relieved. It was hard to believe how fortunate they were to finally be okay again, having not seen sunrises and sunsets for so long. The campsite was smaller now, but with less soldiers they had more room to move around, eat and sleep peacefully without having to trie to secure all exits. This time they would be able to do a few things that they had not been able to do for weeks.
The captain of the camp woke with a start, confused about why he wasn't sleeping with the rest of the troops.
Master Kr國, why did you leave? Where are you? What happened? Is this a dream? I can not see you.
The Invisible Master Kr國 responded tiredly. I am with you always. You could be safe in your sleep, my child. I will always be there to comfort you.
The captain shook in disbelieve as he sensed sadness from his master.
I need you to wake the troops. With luck we will be able to set up camp again in a week, the Invisible Master continued.
Captain Ahka... you don't think that we will just sit down again to rest here and let the Kr士 overrun this place?
It would be a big mistake to sit down to relax. Just like the others you will have to take on the Kr士 while they are away. Be sure to secure a few escape routes when our enemy leaves camp.
The captain bowed his head in acknowledgment, knowing that he was now obliged to obey his master without question and set out to wake the full army before sending for the supplies the general requested. After setting up the camp again, the general let the Kr士 relax for a few minutes.
The sun was nearing its zenith in the sky when the general began to speak,
Do you all know the plan? he asked, raising his voice.
A roar of obedience filled the air.
The general raised his hand to try to quiet them. I have been chosen by the King to lead the Zaunian Army through the pass. We will lead the attack against the Kr士's main army in the battlefields, then fall back through the pass, leaving the army through the mineshaft. Kr士 will follow us in hopes of destroying the army.
Throughout the army, two captains went from Kr士 to Kr士, giving them each a mask. The true Kr國 would not be wearing a mask at all, but this would make it so they couldn't be recognized by the Zaunian soldiers. They also gave each of the Kr士 daggers so they could defend themselves if they needed to.
The army was in position. But the Kr士 had never seen Zaunian soldiers.
Do not worry. It is merely the beginning of our plan, their general reassured them.
We will wait until sunset. If I am correct, a stream of soldiers will be quickly approaching this area. Kr士 will be at the front. They are very loyal and capable, but we are many, and many is a strength as well.
The general put his hand on his chin. The Kr士 will not know what is at hand until they ride into the camp. Once they do, we will unleash you and dear old Grandma Ka國. Zaun will remember to burn in our eyes until we leave Zaun. He jumped up to cheers and yells.
