It was dawn. And the sun was red, blood was spilled the night before. It was the blood of traitors, and old pervy men. Soldier's with the Oda insignia marched right on through the main gate. Meanwhile, outside the city gates, Eden reflected on just how far her family has come. "It has been this long?" she said to herself.
Many years ago. Before she became one of the Trinity Generals as most people call Takeda, Oda, and Uesugi. She was just a normal clan figurehead, representing her family. And it's interests. She had no husband, despite rumors and speculations. She was twenty-five years old when she first began her ambitions. Usually a woman of her age, would have to rise from the bottom and to the top she goes. She was in a man's world. Trying to prove to the man, that if a man can climb to the top, so can a woman. Soon female commanders, like Sophia Dryden, Morrigian Lafayette, the list goes on and on.
Eden Oda was on her horse, staring into the horizon, while looking above she sees her eagle, returning from scouting the region. "So, it's that simple". she said, as she smirks at the situation. "I would need to split the army into three, the cavalry would charge down the center, while my infantry flanks the enemy" she said to herself in a thinking state of mind, she then heard a haughty laugh behind her, It was a young Vorador, "What about the archers?" he said to her, Eden unfazed at the situation said to him in reply, "The archers will be useless it will be a foggy state soon" she said in a firm stance. Vorador was impressed by her response.
"Solider. Tell Montross, to take the infantry and proceed as planned" she commanded, the solider bowed and head off to rely the orders. Vorador and Eden smiled at each other, acknowledging just how far Eden has come. "Soon the world will remember your name" he said to her. Eden laughed and said, "I hope so. I am doing it for family and country after all" she unsheathed her rapier weapon while saying this, after giving the orders her forces slowing descended the mountains.
During this period. The barbarian issue became a huge problem for the economy, the constant invasion of trade routes, pillaging villages, the constant defense measures of these strategic areas. Important thing is, the country was in a minor debt crisis. If they can take out the Barbarian King. Then the problem will be over. Heck, they might get some new soldiers while they are at it."You'd really think this will be over soon?" said Vorador. Eden looked at him with a grim look and stated frankly, "The barbarian problem. Yes. The chaos, no." she said. the army in a matter of seconds collided at the barbarian main camp, just below the summit."Attack! Take the women, and child hostage!" commanded Eden. the Oda forces heavily outmatched the barbarians in terms of numbers and equipment, soon the camp fell. Everyone else except the men were spared and sent into slavery.
As Eden and Vorador survey the camp, two generals arrived to greet them. It was Montross and Ocato. Who at the time was a general in the armies of Drangleic before becoming a Chancellor of the courts. "Ah Madame Oda" said Ocato with resounding polite courtesy, "Commander Oda" Montross said to her while bowing in respect. "*sigh* Ocato. Montross. Report!" said Eden as she cleaned her weapon. "The Barbarian King isn't here" said Ocato, "We have scouted for miles. This isn't the main camp. It was diversion" said Montross.
Eden scoffed at first, and then laughed maniacally and said aloud, "Is that so?" as she turned towards her generals and smiled. She mounted her horse and told everyone to report back to their camp. "Oh and one more thing. Burn this camp to the ground" she commanded. By the end of the day, the camp itself was completely gone.
