Following my last report, the 3rd brigade tracked the bandits to a camp in the hills outside Redenford. They discovered a plot to seize the town, confirming our worst fear. These aren’t simply a band of bandits, but an organized force calling themselves the ‘Redhoods.’ Before the ISA could dispatch men to garrison Redenford the news already arrived of the town's capture. The ‘Redhoods’ managed to seize Redenford and roads to it. 

 

A large force was assembled, led by Captain Erik var Ruthern of the 1st Brigade and Captain Caspian d’Arkent of the 2nd Brigade. They departed from Providence quickly and managed to catch the ‘Redhood’ scouts before they could report back, allowing the ISA force to remain undetected. A strange Knight known only as ‘Alexander’ arrived and offered their help which was welcomed. As the force arrived at the bridge, arrow volleys were traded with the ISA under Captain Erik’s command letting loose several volleys while advancing, killing many of the defenders on the bridge. Once the order was given the ISA charged the bridge defenses. Captain Caspain was badly wounded and forced to withdraw after an arrow struck his chest. Leaving Captain Erik the remaining commanding officer. Shortly as they took the first line of defenses Captain Erik was struck in the shoulder, but led the charge over the Bridge. It must be mentioned Grenadier Corporal Moores performed a great act of bravery by setting off an oil trap before it could threaten the advance. As Captain Erik led the main assault, Senior Corporal Ziegfrid, alongside Alexander and Recruit Arlo Cooper flanked the defenders leading to a quick slaughter. As the fighting dragged out in the streets the Redhoods were pushed to the town hall, leading the charge Ziegfrid slayed many of the defenders. After a brief lull in the fighting, the leader and several of the defenders slipped off while the ISA captured or killed a majority of the Redhoods. The prisoners were sent to Providence, and Redenford was once more secure and safe.

The wounded Corporal Ezekiel Moores would raise a bottle in toast from his hospital bed.

Richard Harver would sit in the hospital bed reading the report after waking up and frown at the missed chance to show of all of his recent trainings. “Dam it! I knew this would happen one day!”
