The company preemptively attacked the enemy to try and gain the advantage, using a force of Beserkers, Whirlwind Fighters, and Sword Saints. They spilt up in two groups, a flanking group, and a group to attack head on. It looks like they are going to face extremely heavy casualties at first, but
the defensive group changes that.
A group of Everblockers and Iron Warriors simultaneously works to hem the enemy in and protect the attacking groups. This is a massive sucess, the Iron Warriors not so much hem them in, as they crush them until they can't move, with the Everblockers herding them. At the same time, a mixed group of Iron Warriors and Everblockers keep the enemy off the attacking group's back, allowing them to cut through the enemies lines and excute a Double Spear Trap maneuver, breaking up the enemy and allowing the herding force to close in around the enemy and isolate them, quickly killing them all. The defensive maneuver was so well done, that all the soldiers gained more insight into successfully defending, even if it wasn't much. (+1 permanent bonus to defensive rolls).
Commander Erica attempted to gain a high ground, perhaps on a caravan, but there Is none around, so she makes do with a nearby hill that she observes the battle from. She doesn't manage to provide any help, although, she deos gain a little more knowledge about strategy from watching the battle (Erica's modifier increased by 1).
After the battle ends, in a total victory, everyone's sword had tasted blood. From this, the swords changed once more gaining new abilities.
[] A sense of
oneness, with the other swords among you.
[] Before, whenever a world's wielder died, the sword would fall asleep. Now, they will stay awake, hopeful for a new weilder.
[] Sharper, stronger, faster, lighter, the blades become
better then they were before.
Accounting was taken and looting was had, now that you were in full control of the battlefield, although, with the ending of the battle, the blessing of Grael faded away. You loaded up on supplies, although you couldn't carry it all, you still got a lot (4 months worth of supplies). Your preliminary search turned up less gold then you were expecting, though, only 56 coins. There were other things, like the caravans, but you couldn't take them, for now. Counting your numbers, you lost 16% of your force in this battle.
There is also the matter of the city, which you would like compensation from for destroying the invaders, you are mercenaries now, or at least to enter since their gates are still closed. Finally, there is the matter of those that failed much earlier from the former nobles group, many of which were likely peasants. You could chase after them before they got too far away, if you had a reason.
[] March up to the city and demand to be let in and paid.
[] Search for a hidden way in.
[] Chase after the refuges.

A.N. Wow, modifiers are great, aren't they? Also, don't include the type of soldier in your vote, with the exception of
@Eri, if she makes a write in that applies her modifier.
