Part 22: The Mad King Gangrel - Preparation

Chapter 11: The Mad King Gangrel







Back already? Ha! If feels as though we just said our good-byes...

Our scouts report they are in surprisingly good spirits...

Since when do you trust our scouts? Besides, what does it matter? They're armed like beggars compared to us! I could break their ranks as easily as I break wind.

I'd love to hear the song the bards make of that.

Aversa, there is a truth about the world this Ylissean whelp must learn.

A man is either strong...

...Or he is dead! Bwa ha haaa!

*A soldier runs up to them*



Oh? Speak.

Our troops are laying down their weapons and deserting en masse! Please, sire...I am but a messenger...Have mercy...

*cut to the Shepherds*



The Plegian army is in disarray.

How do you mean?

It seems many of their soldiers are opposed to further violence. There has been infighting, desertion...Gangrel is trying to stamp out mutiny by force, but with little success. Outside of a few faithful who serve him directly, his army has all but collapsed.

This is incredible news. But why...?



Yes, milord. Emmeryn. The report says Gangrel's men chant her name as they abandon the field. Her words, and her sacrifice, have made her a folk hero of sorts.

Emmeryn...Why did it take me so long to understand? She believed all people desire peace. She knew, deep down, the Plegians wanted it, too. It just took her to bring it to the surface.

......

I hope she can see this, wherever she is...Today we put an end to Mad King Gangrel and bring peace back to the land.
