The aura of lust in the tent was nearly palpable, but a violence demon wasn't easily swayed when a good battle was close at hand, so she had little patience for the overlord's mewling daughter. She raised a hand in a dismissive wave and headed out of the tent, "I'm going to put the attack in motion. Every moment we dawdle is a moment of victory lost." The demoness slipped out and made preperations. First, she rounded up her personal guard. Four demons hand-picked by Krathen himself and trained by her in the art of swordplay. Each was skilled enough to be worth a dozen lesser demons. They would be at her side in the battle to come.<br/><br/>The demoness quickly informed the scouts, telling them to relay orders to the east and west detatchments. The attack would begin within moments. In only minutes, seige weapons would start bombarding the fort's walls while she led her guard and another group into the air. It was transparent as far as diversions went, but she figured that at the very least, the mortals would have to divert some attention to the walls, lest they wanted holes punched in them. Her group circled high overhead until it seemed that the defenders had shifted to the east and western walls, then they dove in for the attack. Grinning wildly, yellow eyes gleaming, the demon general barked orders,<strong>"My guard, with me! We'll clear the archers to the west and open the gate for his Lordship! Everyone else, to the east! Clear out the defenders and then set fire to some of the homes! Let them choose between stopping us or saving the civilians! Go!"</strong>She snapped her fingers and they were off. Shizuru's group cut a bloody swath through the archers and defenders on the wall. They worked as a cohesive unit, Shizuru herself at the front, slicing arrows out of mid-air and dodging clumsy, panicked bow shots. She finished every warrior with a single stroke of her gleaming blade, no movements wasted, no excess energy spent. The defenders stood no chance. The normal demons were doing a fine job as well, though their progress was much slower and far more brutal.<br/><br/>After the wall was clear, she and her guard lept off the wall, into the city. She turned and pointed, eyes flashing,<strong>"Get that gate open, all of you! I will cut down anyone who dares stand in our way!"</strong>The demoness grinned and spread her flaming wings out wide. With a flick of her wrist, she cleaned blood from her sword and then readied Koryu for another round of slaughter.<br/><br/><strong>"I am the Hand of Death! I am the victor of countless battles! Flee or be destroyed!"</strong>
