Then we can focus on getting out of this valley with our supplies in one piece. Ashe, do you think you can stay out of trouble until the battle is over?”Ashe nods. “I should be able to stay hidden. Just please…don’t go too hard on the Dukedom soldiers. Many of them are good people who are simply following orders. I believe if you can take out Gwendal, this battle should end.”
>“I’ll do my best. Stay close, and we’ll meet up after this is over.” You flash the boy a smile. “I look forward to catching up with you after this is all settled. Blackwings, let’s move out!”Beathan has recovered from the harsh landing he suffered earlier, and you mount your pegasus with Judith riding behind you once more. The Blackwings were able to catch their foes by surprise, dealing with both them and the enemy calvary with minimal effort. Fully reinforced, you take to the skies and make your way towards the main battle, where the Professor and the Knights of Seiros are currently locked in combat. Observing the battle from on-high, it’s plain to tell that the advantage is heavily skewered towards the Knights. You’re hardly surprised by the outcome. While they may have been outnumbered, the Professor’s Crest as well as the Sword of the Creator are more than a force equalizer. Already, the Dukedom’s vanguard has been completely depleted and is currently on the verge of defeat. While you don’t believe the Professor is in need of your help, you figure you can at least speed things along. The Blackwings descend on their foe. Flanked between both your own forces as well as that of the Knights of Seiros, the Dukedom’s soldiers hardly stand a chance. Once the immediate fighting has ceased, you land your pegasus on the ground, allowing Judith to dismount. In front of you is the unmistakable form of Byleth Eisner, Seteth, as well as a few other soldiers that you do not immediately recognize.
“You must be this Professor I’ve heard so much about.” Judith says. “Let’s leave the pleasantries for later. I’ve arrived with your supplies as agreed upon. My soldiers are currently defending them from the Dukedom as we speak. The sooner we rout this foe, the quicker we can get out of here.”
Seteth speaks first. “Agreed. Thank you for coming to our aid, Lady Judith. We’ve withstood the enemy’s first attack. Now let us push forward and strike the decisive blow.”
