Chapter 3. The 2nd Great War Part 1. The Battle of Kvatch
Izuku POV.
It has been 8 years since I arrived in Tamriel, alot has happened in those 8 years. We defeated Alduin, Harkon and his Vampires, Miraak and most importantly we defeated and killed Ulfric Stoarmcloak. For the most part everything looked good for Tamriel and the Empire if there wasn't one little problem or better said big problem the Thalmor. Only 10 months after the defeat of Ulfric and the end of the civil war they declared war on us. My father General Tullius was ordered to take the 14 Legion that was stationed in Skyrim and march south towards Kvatch as fast as he could. I went with him since I am a Legat after all, but I also took some of my friends and my fiancé with me. We marched for a week until we reached Kvatch and as we reached the city we saw the 4th Army of the Thalmor closing in.
No one POV.
Tullius :,,So we have 20.000 man together with the garnison and militia of Kvatch we have around 21.000."
Legat Rikke :,,The Thalmor have 60.000, 30.000 high elves they build the center of their army."
Hadvar :,,20.000 Khajit on the right flank and 10.000 wood elves on the left wing."
Izuku :,,So they put their best archers on their left wing?"
Tullius :,,Yes, they probably will try to weaken our right wing to the point were they can send in their cavalary and overrun us."
Hadvar :,,Izuku couldn't you call Odahviing and Durnehviir so that they could deal with them?"
Izuku :,,I could and I will"
Tullius :,,Good, how about this we take the garnison and militia from Kvatch together with the 4th and 5th cohorte and put them on the right together with you (pointing at Izuku) and youre group, you will charge them as soon as possible and then when they are occupied call those two dragons and their left wing will be gone."
Vilkas :,,That sounds so easy but it's going to be harder then that."
Farkas :,,I must agree."
Aela :,,The archers will probably be accompanied by their cavalary?"
Erik :,,Is there a way to lure out their cavalary?"
Izuku :,,How about we put our cavalary on our right wing together with the 5th cohorte, the enemy will think that we plan a charge on their left wing in an attempt to brake through."
Tullius :,,But that would leave you with only 4.000 man against 10.000 archers and light infantry."
Erandur :,,All of us besides Farkas and Vilkas have skirmish capabilities and I am sure we could take alot of them out before we charge into them."
Faendal :,,Yeah, Erik could snipe their commanders since he has the longest reach with his crossbow."
Lydia :,,And those without shields should go with someone who has one."
Izuku :,,Sounds good, so I would say the left wing knows what to do."
Tullius :,,And by the nine I hope you have sucess, because the fall of their right wing could bring us victory."
Legat Rikke :,,Also who is the general of the Thalmor?"
Tullius :,,Elenwen..."
Legat Rikke :,,Her! They gave her one of their biggest armies? Do they want to lose?"
Tullius :,,Rikke don't underestimate our enemy."
Legat Rikke :,,I am sorry General Tullius but it's true, Elenwen is a politician not a general, if I dare say I would say that she will panic as soon as the battle starts."
Izuku :,,You don't know Rikke we last saw Elenwen two years ago."
Rikke :,,True but as much as I know this woman I dare say that she is going to make a fatal mistake in the first 30 minutes of the battle."
Tullius :,,We will see, we will see......."
Timeskip to the start of the battle, Eagle perspective:
Tullius :,,Now everyone listen up, we will put our army like this, we will reinforce our right wing and put our cavalary near it."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Elenwen and the Thalmor.
Thalmor Officer :,,General Elenwen look at this!"
The Officer gave Elenwen a binoculars.
Elenwen :,,Hmm, looks like they plan to attack our left wing, take 4 .000 man of our cavalary and bring them to our left."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tullius :,,She will think our main attack will be on their left wing, so she will probably reinforce it as soon as that happens we will attack."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warhornes could be heard as the Legion started to advance.
Thalmor Officer :,,It seems they really plan to attack our left."
Elenwen :,,Let them come they have no chance to break through."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tullius :,,As soon as our right collides with their left, the rest of our line will charge aswell we hold the line while our left starts to push forward."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku :,,Erik, take out that officer over there!"
Erik aimed with his Dragonskull Crossbow and shot, the officer went down his soldiers looking in shock as they were left without orders.
Izuku :,,Charge!"
Izuku pulled out Chillrend and charged forward his soldiers following him, he put his shield infront of him as he shouted.
Izuku :,,WULD NAH KEST!"
Izuku whirlwind sprinted into the lines of the wood elves, those who were unfotunate enough to stand in his way were thrown back by the charge.
Izuku :,,FUS RO DAH!"
Using the unrelenting force shout Izuku sended around 20 wood elves flying, just then Izuku's soldiers catched up. The wood elves tried to form a shield wall in an attempt to hold the line but Izuku's friends made short process with that, Farkas and Vilkas used their two handed weapons to create openings in the enemy lines, Erandur used fire magic to burn their shields and those who stood behind it, Faendal and Aela fought together as Faendal blocked a strike with his shield while Aela shot another attacker who tried to attack Faendal from behind.
Faendal :,,Thanks!"
Lydia punched one guy in the face with her shield, she then swang her glass axe and hit the guy in the shoulder as his clothes began to catch fire, he screamed as Lydia pulled out here fire entchantet axe and swang it again cutting the guys head clean off. Erik was dual wielding sword in the left and axe in the right, one guy tried to attack him but he blocked it with his axe and then put his axe through the elves head. Izuku saw 10 elves trying to attack him so he used.
Izuku :,,TIID KLO UL!"
Time slowed down as Izuku moved fast, he attacked the 10 elves killing them with fast slashes and stabs to vital areas. As time began to move normally again the 10 attackers fell to the ground dead. Izuku looked around watching how the elves were loosing more and more ground, Izuku was impressed to say the least he didn't thought that he would manage to push them back that easily with only 4.000 man. Izuku then took a deep breath.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tullius :,,As soon as you see that you are pushing them back Izuku I want you to call youre two dragons, they will attack the main line of the Thalmor causing them to send in their reserves."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku :,,OD AH VIING!"
Izuku waited for a few seconds to let his stamina recover, as he could hear a roar louder then the screams around him, Izuku looked up and saw Odahviing arrive.
Izuku :,,Attack their center were they are the strongest old friend!"
Odahviing just nodded before he flew towards the main line of the Thalmor, he then began to breath fire at the Thalmor. Izuku heard the screams of agony but he had no time to get distracted as he took another breath, but one guy tried to attack him he swang his sword at Izuku who blocked it with his shield before he took a step forwards and thrusting his sword through the guys chest. The wood elve coughed up blood what froze in his mouth before he fell on his back dead. Izuku didn't waisted more time and called Durnehviir.
Izuku :,,DUR NEH VIIR!"
A blackish purple portal opened besides Izuku and as it closed Durnehviir was there.
Durnehviir :,,It has been a long time since I fought in a big battle like this."
Izuku :,,I am sorry to call you for something like this but we need youre help, could you attack their cavalary?"
Durnehviir nodded a smile like grin taking over his face as he began to flap his wings and taking off. He then flew towards there were the cavalary of the thalmor was standing and started to attack them with his ice breath. Izuku let out a breath as he pulled out a green bottle from his bumbag, he opened it and trank the whole bottle empty in one big goop. He felt refreshed as he then looked towards his enemy's before screaming.
Izuku :,,MUL QAH DIIV!"
Izuku's dragon aspect appeared around him as he charged into his enemies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elenwen :,,Shoot them down!!!"
Thalmor Officer :,,We are trying!"
Elenwen :,,Where are our elite archers!?!"
Thalmor Officer2 :,,On our right wing General!"
Elenwen :,,Then get them here right now!"
Thalmor Officer :,,But our right wing is loosing ground at the moment!"
Elenwen :,,I don't care get those archers here we have to get those dragons down!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tullius :,,As soon as they see the dragons they will begin to panic, they will need their archers."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faendal :,,Izuku look!"
Izuku looked towards the direction were Faendal was pointing and saw that some of the archers were moving away.
Izuku :,,Push forward man!"
Izuku's soldiers cheered as they moved forward in a shield wall, the wood elves that tried to hold their line were simply killed since their line had big holes in it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thalmor Officer :,,General my suggest we retreat?"
Elenwen :,,No, we still outnumber them..... send in the reserves."
Talking towards a trumpet man, Thalmor Officer :,,Give the signal"
The soldier with the trumpet blew the signal for the reserves to attack. The reserve troops began to move forwards in line.
Elenwen :,,Send in the cavalary"
The Officer nodded as he gave the trumpet soldier the order.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vilkas just killed another elve as he heard the trumpet sound, he looked towards the main line and saw that the Thalmor were sending in their reserves, then there was a second sound and Vilkas could feel the ground to begin to shake. He looked up and behind the enemy lines as he saw the cavalary of the thalmor charging towards them.
Vilkas :,,Yo Izuku, their cavalary is coming!"
Izuku looked towards the direction of were Wilkas was pointing, he then turned arounf to the soldiers and screamed.
Izuku :,,Cavalary!!!"
Those soldiers who were outside of the shield wall ran back, the shield wall opened to let them in while Izuku and his friends slowly retreated towards the shield wall while fending of more enemys. The cavalary of the thalmor meanwhile were charging through their own lines running over their own soldiers.
Izuku :,,They kill their own soldiers."
The charge of the thalmor cavalary slowed down as they had to ride through their own soldiers running them over and destroying their formation. Izuku used this situation and ordered his archers to shoot at the enemy, those soldiers who died fell to the ground slowing down the advance of the cavalary more to the point were they lost all their momentum.
Izuku :,,CHARGE!!"
Izuku's soldiers charged forward into the line of enemies, the wood elve infantry stood no chance and were overrun, those on horseback were pulled of their horses and beaten to death.
Just then a signal could be heard again this time it was a imperial signal, Izuku looked to the left and saw the imperial cavalary charging into the exposed left side of the enemy. The wood elves seeing that began to flee, the imperial soldiers chased after them killing many more.
The right wing of the thalmor army has fallen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elenwen who stood on a hill looked in shock over the battlefield, at first it looked like a easy victory but now she saw her soldiers being slaughterd, burned and frozen. (Durnehviir is a frost dragon)
Thalmor Officer :,,General the right wing has fallen the wood elves are fleeing the battlefield, what should we do."
Elenwen :,,..........."
Thalmor Officer :,,General we already lost half of our army, if we retreat now we could flee to Valewood and regroup our units."
Elenwen :,,Tullius grrrrrrhh, how could I lose to a fucking human, I am a high elve we are the superior race."
Elenwen looked towards the right wing and saw how the wood elves were fleeing the battlefield while her cavalary was slaughtered by the imperial forces and then the garnison and milita of Kvatch charge into the now open right side of her army, destroying her formation as more and more of her soldiers began ro flee the battlefield. Elenwen saw Izuku and his comrades fighting and she gritted her teeth in anger.
Elenwen :,,Give me my bow."
One of her servants handed her her bow as she took an arrow and aimed at Izuku, she then let the arrow go as it flew over the battlefield directly towards the last Dragonborn, but someone got in the way and took the arrow instat but as she saw who it was Elenwen had a small smirk on her face.
Elenwen :,,That will teach him.......... give the sign to retreat."
The Thalmor Officer nodded as he gave the trumpet the order to give the signal.
Elenwen :,,Next time we will win Tullius."
With that Elenwen turned her horse riding off followed by her servants and officer's as her army flet after her. The Imperial soldiers gave chase and killed many more, before they were ordered to stop and let the cavalary chase after them, cheering was heard as the soldiers celebrated their victory over the thalmor but not everyone was celebrating.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku POV.
We just charge into the side of the thalmor, our victory now was only a matter of time, I just killed three high elves that tried to attack me as.
Vilkas :,,IZUKU!"
I looked up and saw a arrow coming towards me, but before it could hit me someone got infront of me. I stood there in shock as I saw one of my closest friend standing infront of me blood coming out of his mouth as the arrow went straight through his neck.
Izuku :,,V..Vilkas.."
Vilkas fell forward , I dropped my weapons as I catched him, I just stood there holding him as I heard a signal but I didn't care.
Vilkas :,,T...than...k y...ou."
Izuku :,,No no Vilkas I can heal you I can....."
Vilkas :,,I... I... am... sor. *cough* ry.. it's.. to late."
Vilkas coughed more and more as he tried to breath.
Vilkas :,,With... Out... you... I wouldn't.... be able to see Soven..garde."
Izuku :,,No no please."
Vilkas :,,Farewell......"
I felt his body go limp but I held him as I fell to my knees him still in my hands and I just cried, I cried while everyone was celebrating the victory, everyone was celebrating while I held my dead friend in my arms.
Farkas :,,Izuku....."
Farkas walked over and saw me kneeling holding a dead Vilkas.
Farkas :,,No........"
He stumbeld towards us his axe fell to the ground as he kneeled down besides me, he looked into my eyes before he hugged me and Vilkas crying and screaming, soon our other friends joined us and as they saw the dead body of Vilkas they joined the hug as they also cried.
Izuku :,,I see.... you in Sovengarde.."
Farkas :,,...brother."
We won the battle of Kvatch but it felt like a lose.
