The explosion along was enough to wake Thalion up, he knew damn well it wasn't a good sign. He was just finishing dressing when Neimi rushed to answer the door as someone banged on it. "It's the Eastern Army" The poor man breathed out. Thalion growled a little as he tested the bow for a split second and walked past Neimi and the solider. "Get to your posts, pass the word that the archers are to arm the bows with venom and that anyone with a blade is to do the same." The man nodded before rushing off to try and get the word around.

Thalion hated using such a tactic but they had no chance in hell against the numbers of the Eastern army if this was the full assault. It would have to be done even just getting a wounding shot or cut could kill the enemy and thats what had to be done. It seemed for the moment he had a little bit of time only the first wall was broken into as he found someone else and grabbed them quickly. "Anyone who can't fight retreat to the last stand. Ensure they get there!" He barked at him before letting him go and quickly getting to one of the elevated posts.

There was one other there with him, it was one of the young trainees. At best he seemed shaken up by all of this. "Relax..." He said to him once he had the bow strung and ready to release the arrow. "Even if you die here you died fighting for what you believe in so it'll be a death without regrets." There wasn't more to ask for really, dying for something you didn't believe in or to second guess your purpose in life, this he thought was worth dying for. "Though I have no plans to die today..." He grinned a little as the boy seemed to get what he was saying before nodding weakly and readying his bow as well.

The first one that came into his sights was shot down in a instant. Though he had a little trick up his sleeve for this as the arrow seemed to glow for a split second before exploding and taking out a few other troops around the one that was shot. He had been wanting to try these out for a while but seeing as they were unstable at best this might as well be a good time to test them. If Mizuki had gotten the time maybe he could have used his magic to work with his weapons but there wasn't time to think about that now.
