CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

CELERIUS ESTATE

CARLIN FILUS

Carlin stood at the top of the hill overlooking the Celerius estate. Across the city, he knew Saewulf had already begun the siege on the Vapros bunker. “Virgil, get the men in formation,” he commanded. “And then I’d like to talk to you.” He examined the estate, taking note of all of the exits. Not a single Celerius would escape him tonight.

“We are prepared, sir,” Virgil said a few minutes later. “Rifles loaded, men in position.”

Carlin grinned. “Just think, tonight every single Celerius in Altryon will be dead or a prisoner. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Virgil didn’t budge. “You wanted to talk to me, sir?”

Carlin turned from the house. “Will you look at me, please?” Virgil made eye contact with the new general. “Look,” Carlin said, putting a hand on Virgil’s shoulder, “I know you were close to Anthony. I’m sorry I had to kill him. I had my orders. There was nothing I could do.”

Virgil didn’t say anything.

“I’m in charge now,” he continued, as he straightened his red cloak proudly. “And as my second in command, I hope you will put aside your emotions and act with professionalism.”

Virgil finally spoke up. “My allegiance lies with this army and whoever leads it. That was the oath I took when I enlisted. I tried to save Anthony because it was my duty. Now my duty is to protect you. I don’t blame you for being the soldier that the emperor instructed you to be. Emotions have nothing to do with it, sir. If you’ll allow me, I’ll cut down the Celerius myself.”

Carlin smiled and patted Virgil’s shoulder. “Good, excellent,” he said gruffly as he turned his sights back to the house and raised his sword. “Time to interrupt a funeral!” he cried and led his army down the hill with Virgil at his heels.
