Chapter 5: Liberation of Western Torrs

The main Kingdom of Torrs was surrounded by 4 towers indicating North, South, East and West. At the center, lay Torrs Castle, the seat of power and goverment of Torrs. After the usurpation, Baron Corrvin would designate 4 governors per tower to oversee the defense and unending obedience of the citizenry by any means necessary.

Western Torrs, dusk

Pattou and his contingent of "Corrvin" soldiers with Sayfuro the assassin in tow was able to enter into Western Torrs, which is a rather crowded area with the Western Tower overlooking the entire region. As the plan was already in motion with Pattou's men reaching the town square, Liger and his snipers are already positioned atop the rooftops with their falcon partners flying across Western Torrs above Pattou. Pattou was then spotted by the Western Torrs Army captain, with the Raven insignia and halted Pattou's advance 

Captain: Halt! Who goes there?

Pattou would reply, 

Pattou: Greetings! I am Gladius Pietrus. Leader of these troops. We bear a prisoner who we know is one of the rebel leaders. Shall we present him to the Governor for a public execution?

The captain identifies himself as Grado and replies, 

Grado: Seems you are new here, you need not bring the captive any further. We slay them on site and...wait a minute, your necklace! -calls his men- Gather more men at the town square! We have here some rebels masque...

Before he went further with his order, Pattou had freed the shackles off Sayfuro and uses the flat side of the Wanderer Sword to launch Sayfuro to hack away Captain Grado with his Katar blades. Pattou then signalled for the takeover to commence.

Seeing the signal, the falcons would return to their sniper masters and would prepare their arrows should any Corrvin-Torrs soldiers come to their sniping range. The rogues hiding in the street corners would seize any unsuspecting Corrvin-Torrs soldier who would come their way. 

Meanwhile, Pattou and his men scrambled throughout Western Torrs to capture the enemy. What followed was the clashing of blades, axes, shields, and pikes against armor if lucky, or on flesh that rang throughout the cities. Luckily, no civilian was involved as they had already been accustomed to sheltered lives.

The combined efforts of Pattou, Sayfuro and Liger had led to a round up of prisoners in the town square for those who had surrendered. This did not count however the bodies of those that chose to fight to their deaths that littered the streets and corners. Sayfuro would then interrogate the captives, 

Sayfuro: Which way to the Western Torrs Governor? Tell me!

The captives would not speak nor acknowledge the demand. Pattou however came in, 

Pattou: Sayfuro, you did say your quarters is within this region? Can you direct me there to get this Legacy sword? 

Sayfuro: Follow me, Young Master.

Pattou would then leave momentarily and ordered Liger to inform the men to keep up the defensive as retribution from Corrvin's men may come faster than they think. Liger understood and ordered those of their forces that can still fight to maintain the defensive positions.

Western Torrs Tower area, Western Torrs Governor's Hall, Night.

An assassin who was able to escape the onslaught had reached the Governor of Western Torrs. This was no ordinary assassin, it was actually Baron's brother and right hand man, Drake Corrvin. Drake had entered the Governor's office where Governor Dongzuo was lounging with no care in the world. Drake would then shout at the Governor, 

Drake: Wake up you bucket of lard!

Governor Dongzuo did not take kindly to the remark and responded, 

Dongzuo: Why must you disturb me? Don't you see that I let your men in and take care of business?

Drake was sickened by that remark and snapped back, 

Drake: Yes, but now you need to move as rebels have already taken over your territory. Now move and prove to my brother that you were worth appointing as Governor. We shall expect word and song of your victory shortly. 

With that, Drake disappears. Governor Dongzuo is then pressured and for the first time, must take matters to his own hands and move to the town square to stomp out the rebels.

Sayfuro's Quarters, Western Torrs, Night.

Luckily, both Pattou and Sayfuro were able to head in with no threats or guards around. Sayfuro entered first, then Pattou. Sayfuro would then find what was needed and handed Pattou with another Blade Family Heirloom, the Legacy Sword. 

Sayfuro: Young Master Patriarch, here is the sword that you must wield. And to test you if indeed you are Patriarch, draw the sword out from its scabbard. 

Pattou would then draw the sword out without any struggle, and at that moment the necklace glimmered with light. While Pattou is amazed at the sight, Sayfuro was now paying homage and saluted to Pattou, 

Sayfuro: Young Master Patriarch, indeed it is you! I was never wrong with giving you that armor. The litany of praises can wait. Return it to its scabbard and let us return to the town square.

Both would then leave immediately.

Western Torrs Town Square, Night

Liger had done all he can to negotiate with the captives, but to no avail they still relent and would rather await for Corrvin-Torrs troops to return for them or would rather die. Indeed a return had been made when Governor Dongzuo arrived on horseback along with several of his personal guard comprised of knights and champions (Glove wielding warriors). 

Dongzuo: So, you are the rabble that had caused trouble here? Only a sniper? Ha ha. This will be quick.

 As the Governor had said this, he saw that most of the men behind him had been quickly dispatched by Sayfuro's quick Katar blade onslaught and Pattou's swordsmanship with the Wanderer's Sword. The Governor had been surrounded with nowhere to go. As a last ditch effort, Dongzuo try to gallop over them but an arrow from Liger neutralized his horse, causing the Governor to fall on his side.

Governor Dongzuo would then try to stand after the fall, in the presence of captive Corrvin-Torrs soldiers, Liger and his snipers and rogues, Sayfuro with the other knights encircling him and Pattou. Pattou knew what had to be done to end this. Governor Dongzuo would attempt to draw his sword and with all remaining strength, try to dispatch Pattou. Pattou had done all he can to evade and parry with the Wanderer's Sword but that trusty sword had suddenly broken in half. Governor Dongzuo would attempt at a final blow, but little did he know, Pattou had the Legacy sword drawn out of its scabbard and with the blinding light of the necklace, a flash of light preceded the clash between Governor and reluctant liberator. The light dissipated and Governor Dongzuo had suddenly collapsed and upon seeing the familiar sword, his last words uttered were

Dongzuo: ...That sword...It cannot be...You can't return...Corrvin will rid you..

Pattou having been able to pull off such a feat, still in shock, would then return the sword in its scabbard and merely reply, 

Pattou: This confirms it, I am Patriarch Blade...

Short A/N: Dongzuo is based on the historical figure Dong Zhuo from the Han Dynasty period of China. His portrayal here is based on how he is usually portrayed in the Dynasty Warriors franchise. Had to share here lol.

For reference: Dong Zhuo

And that was chapter 5. As promised Chapter 6 will be out in a few hours.

Stay safe and awesome everyone!
