The Battle of Redonas Plateau was a minor battle that took place in the early stages of the Demi-Human War. It ended in a victory for the Royal Army.
The battle marked the first battles of Wilhelm Trias and Grimm Fauzen, two soldiers who would go on to become members of the elite Zellgef Squadron after surviving the ensuing Battle of Castour Field, and later, were instrumental in preventing the Demi-Human Alliance from taking the Royal Capital.
Prelude[]
The battle would occur two years after the start of the war.[1] This would become the first battle engaged in by Wilhelm Trias, a runaway noble from the Trias family who enlisted in the army after making it to the Royal Capital,[2] Grimm Fauzen, a commoner from the town of Fluer, and Tholter Weasily. In the time since their enlistments, Grimm and Tholter became close.
Battle[]
The human commander, a young noble who had sought to acquire glory by attempting to launch an assault on the enemy forces, was made quick work of by the demi-humans, causing the humans' battle line to fall into disarray.[3] Redonas Plateau was set ablaze, the stench of charred wood and flesh, as well as the spilled blood that had oozed out those who fell in battle, permeated the air. Grimm, who had fallen into despair at seeing the chaos of the battle around him and being the only survivor of his unit, was nearly slaughtered by a demi-human until Wilhelm saved his life. The boy had, with his sword, slain numerous demi-humans, leaving a pile of them felled on the battlefield. Shortly thereafter, the Royal Army gave the signal of victory to its soldiers, signifying the end of the battle.
Aftermath[]
The Battle of Redonas Plateau managed to be a strategic victory for the Royal Army, despite them suffering large casualties.[4] As a result of his achievements in battle, word of the young Wilhelm Trias began to spread. He was given honors for his slaying of two commanding officers and Razak Gildark placed him into the same squadron as Grimm.[5]
