In High Rock
"Finally we will have some justice..." A Knight said as the men-at-arms sat in the wagons, tricking those that saw that they were a supply convoy for the Thalmor Embassy of High Rock. It was night and most would be sleeping, and the embassy were already secretly surrounded, no-one would escape or send messages.
Instead of food fifty Soldiers were hidden in those wagons, to take down the heart of Dominion Power in High Rock by arresting the Thalmor for their crimes. The Justiciars in High Rock had during the last Day been secretely arrested and the most executed, the rest were held captive, now only the embassy remains free from Uthyn's Wrath. He had sent a Courier eagle with the orders from his massive army at Chorrol.
Equipped with enchanted armor that resisted magic a dozen Soldiers guarding the "Supply convoy" and a hundred men-at-arms hidden in it along with several wizards they would bring justice to the Thalmor.
They reached the gates, Ser Arniel was one of the dozen men-at-arms that were guarding the wagons. One of the two Thalmor guards was about to ask something but Arniel interrupted "Here you have your supplies can you let us through?" The guards regognized Arniel and made a nod, though he kept a loathing gaze at Arniel as he unlocked the gate.
As the wagons were entering Arniel made a nod to a Soldier near the second Thalmor guard. "Also I have a matter of justice to take with you..." Arniel started, Before pulling out his longsword and ran it through the guard's throat. The Soldier did the same to the other guard and the High Elves collapsed, blood spraying from their throats. Now the blankets were thrown of the wagons and the men-at-arms jumped out from the wagons and into the yard. Five guards ran forward to stop them, only to start backing when they saw the numbers. They sent spells at the Bretons that did no damage, and recieved several Arrows and spells. They all laid dead in the matters of a few seconds.
They ran to the barracks first and kicked in the door. "Yield or die!" Arniel shouted, but as the High Elves in there only started looking for weapons Arnield said "Death it is then, take the commander alive, kill the rest." the bretons ran forward with their weapons, the spells sent at them had no effect.
The Bretons started cutting down the High Elves whom most were only dressed in robes, they siezed their commander and knocked him out with mailed fists. Arniel split a skull open of one Elf and ran his sword through a chest of Another.
The High Elves did not try to surrender, though few actually attempted to fight. The most were trying to get away from the Soldiers and lock themselevs inside rooms. The Bretons cut through the High Elves, leaving a trail of dead were they passed in the building, and after searching the rooms quickly for survivors and grabbing important documents the Bretons started running towards the Embassy itself, were the majority of the documents were and the Thalmor leaders.
A face peered out from the window, only to get pale and start screaming when he saw who were coming. A wizard sent a fireball at the door and blasted it open. The same Words were shouted again, yet this time the most did yield, the rest died as in the barracks. The Bretons quickly spread out and located the leaders in a room, they had been holding a meeting when the Bretons arrived. After searching the embassy for documents, and finding loads of them, the prisoners were rounded up on the yard and put in chains. They numbered in dozens.
What was of value and importance along with all documents were placed on the wagons, the corpses of the Thalmor were left to the maggots and whatever else might want them, no burial would they be given.
The prisoners were to be lead to Daggerfall not very far away. Arniel was glad that he had not failed his king.
