Fairy Tail: Transformation Mage

Damian soon came back to the camp and helped the healers present there to treat the wounded as he had nothing else to do. The battle was going on in the same way as it did for a past with neither side was getting an advantage.

Damian has already sent the info about his encounter with the 'dragons' and that he had taken care of them to Rung and Christopher so as to let a heavy burden off their mind.

While dealing with the injured and helping the healers Damian also started to meddle with the Etherion's magic circle and decided to make it better depending on the results he just saw.

--------------------

While Damian was busy messing around with his magic circle on the battlefield the situation was slowly turning in favour of Dragonof and Adroelia as the soldiers started to lose their morale since they came to know about how Damian took care of the Dragons. Needless to say it was Rung who told all his men to spread the information to everyone and though he thought that the others might not actually believe him. Andreus, who was acting as the general of the lied kingdoms also heard the news and even though he didn't want to believe what he heard, the fact that the 'dragons' who were supposed to come there were not showing up which coupled with Etherion that they saw a few moments earlier made it difficult for him to keep his hopes up.

Andreus who was now contemplating whether to continue the battle or retreat had a serious expression on his face and was observing the battle. from the back.

Seeing that most of the soldiers were now a bit demoralised because of the rumour about their 'dragons' getting defeated by Adroelia's mage head, made him tilt towards the option of retreating even more.

Andreus looked at the battlefield for a while and then gave a tired sigh.

"I told them that fighting Dragonof was pointless, why the hell those higher up shits listen to me for once, even Adroelia, who did not make an alliance with any kingdom, made one with Dragonof and is now against us." He then took out his sword and then went to the battlefield himself.

In the battlefield Andreus skillfully deflected all the soldiers coming towards him and soon came in front Rung who was doing the same thing as him.

Both of them stared at each other for a while and finally Andreus said, "Can you stop your guys, I want to retreat now. Don't want to get caught up with that mage head of yours."

Rung gave a yawn and said, "Sorry about what my friend did, and go ahead and retreat, we are not going to chase after you. Oh, but before that, do you want to continue the battle for tomorrow as well, let me just tell you, if we stay here in the battlefield for too long then 'my friend' could get a 'bit' pissed and it might be possible that he will take the matter in his hands."

Andreus showed a troubled expression on his face and sighed, "Seriously, why the hell did those noble shits don't take my advice. I don't want to fight a battle that I have no chance of winning, and then there is 'your friend' as well who kill the Dragons that were coming here with that HUGE A.S.S spell of his. Is that guy even human?"

Rung nodded his head seriously and said, "I ask myself the same question as well, how can such a person even exist. He is more than perfect to be called perfect you know, good looks, good status, good amount of wealth, strong, smart, powerful magician, powerful swordsman, hell he can cook as well...that's way too much impartiality!!!"

Both of them looked at the sky and gave a tired sigh, Andreus for getting mixed up in deep shit, and Rung for Damian being over perfect.

Andreus and Rung looked at eachother once again and then back at their soldiers who were fighting against eachother with now Dragonof-Adroelia gaining the advantage over the allied kingdoms.

Andreus stared at them for a while and said, "Hey, Rung-dono, would you do me a favour?"

Rung looked at Andreus and asked, "And what that might be?"

Andreus looked at Rung as well and said, "Please let the soldiers from my side who are still alive, go back to their families in return I am willing to hand over myself or you can kill me and stop all this pointless bloodshed."

Rung widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Are you sure? I mean capturing or killing their general will indeed be a major issue for them but in both the cases you would be the one who will be suffering a major loss."

Andreus sighed and said, "Be that as it may, all of these men have families back home as well who are waiting for their return, them being killed in a battle which have no chance of victory.....it does not sit well with me since I already know about this. So even though they cannot win the battle, at the very least they can go back to their families, you know, and may be those noble shits would learn from it as well and don't get involved in pointless unwinnable wars."

Rung stared at him and said, "Willing to sacrifice yourself for your soldiers, huh. Aren't you quite admirable general. But still, what about your own family?"

Andreus gave a sigh and said, "Well they would be sad, but still, I who am leading these soldiers is responsible for them as well, so their well being is my priority first, plus it's not like my kingdom is expecting much from me, they made me the general out of nowhere and sent me here to die, while the legimate general from my kingdom is still back home waiting for my death so as to remove all the obstacles from his succession to the house."

Rung looked at him with a bit pity and said, "You are going through a lot huh. Fine then, let's go along with this, I too don't want to see pointless bloodshed as well."

Andreus gave a thankful nod and said in a low voice, "I just wish I could have seen my son once more."

"Oi Rung what are you two doing here? Isn't that the enemy general, are you betraying us as well. Should I chop your head off your shoulders?"

Suddenly both him and Rung heard a voice and looked turned their heads only to see Damian coming towards them with blood covered sword in his hand.

Rung looked at the blood covered sword and immediately said, "No No No, I am not betraying anybody here, on the other hand I was just about to capture him and get this pointless battle to an end." and raised his hands to preven him from chopping his head off.

Damian who heard that looked at Andreus and asked, "Are you serious? I mean I don't have a problem with the fight getting over this early, but still you decided to get caught by this thing(pointing towards Rung) and lowering your own value. Even the mages under him have more value compared to this thing, at least get captured by them so as not to tarnish your own reputation."

Hearing that Andreus sweat dropped while Rung glared at Damian and wanted to slash him apart.

Damian then looked at the two for a while and said, "Leaving those things aside, what is the real matter here which made you two talk to eachother?"

Hearing his question both the generals looked at eachother and decided to tell him what was happening since neither of the two had any will to fight in a pointless battle.

------------------

After both of them told Damian about what the two were planning he nodded his head and said, "Fine, it's a good idea if we do that."

Rung looked at Damian with a surprised look on his face and asked, "Are you sure I mean it would be quite troublesome to explain this to the two kingdom's about why we let an almost defeated enemy get away with just capturing their general."

Damian looked at the two generals and asked, "Just think about this, if we defeat this whole army, then that means we would have to march forward to capture their territory as well which already makes it a no for me since I would have to stay here for a bit longer."

Both the generals looked at him with a deadpan look on their faces and thought, 'So you being lazy will give enough explaination? Are you an idiot or what?'

Damian who thought that the two in front of him were thinking of something rude, but ignored them and said, "But still, leaving myself aside, once we get close to the allied kingdoms we will have to fight their remaining soldiers as well, and after we defeat them we will have to capture all the nobles and royalties from the allied kingdoms. All this is nothing but a hassle for us. But still let it be, once we are done with that as well, it would mean that we would have to manage the territory which we just won as well, for which not only we will have to get manpower but finds as well, which are being depleted at a very fast pace because of our current war with this Kingdom and the Dragons. This would just weaken us in the end."

Damian then gave a tired sigh and after he caught his breath looked at the two once again and said, "Now wouldn't it be much more profitable and efficient if we just capture them and take some assets from the allied kingdoms as war compensation and let the remaining soldiers go back to their homes to meet their family. It will not only help us gain more resources, but it will also prevent more of our soldiers from dying and time and resources from being spent on unreasonable things."

Both of them started thinking about what he just said, but before they could come to conclusion, the other commanders gave their orders to retreat since the sun began to set making it stop the battle for today.

Damian looked at Andreus and said, "Think about it for today and give us the answer tomorrow." and then started walking back to his camp as well with Rung silently following him.
