Ambush at Eientei

Ambush at Eientei was a battle between the forces of Legio Centralis and Azrael's Vangad-Shei. The Ambush, laid out by Azrael, was a success and nearly the entire Legio Centralis was wiped out. The commander of the Legio Centralis force, Gerald Guilleam was slain by his own men, who dreaded the decision to attack Azrael without further support.
==Prelude==
During the entire Fortudatum Crusade so far, lord Gerald Guilleam had shown resentment towards every other Royal Army officer. Gerald wanted to gain glory during this crusade. When the army led by Gerald, Hyperion Atlas and Solomon Tyrus reached the city of Felm, they heard that Azrael's army had marched past the city towards the northern city of Einlingen. Solomon and Hyperion decided to rest their armies for a few days and then give chase, but Gerald insisted on advancing immediately. Solomon and Hyperion disagreed, but Gerald went anyways, taking a huge chunk of his Legion with him. Gerald lied to his men, that the rest of the Amry detachment was supporting them from behind, but even then, some of the captains of the Legio Centralis didn't follow Gerald and remained at Felm
==Ambush==
Near a thick forest, which lay south of the city of Einlingen, the Legio Centralis was ambushed just like in the Battle of Wolf's Forest. The Legio Centralis troops, though outnumbering the ambushing force, were completely slaughtered by the forces of Azrael. Azrael himself fought against the Legio Centralis felling many men before him. Gerald, realizing his stupidity, decided to sacrifice himself in a final attempt at killing Azrael and maybe saving his men. Gerald charged Azrael but in vain, as Gerald's lance was merely slapped aside by the formidable Warrior who in turn slammed his mace into Gerald's mount felling Gerald. The battle was over within twenty minutes.
