Hex stood in it's humanoid form on the wall of the north pass outpost, looking down as the first elements of First Division began marching Along the trail that led down from the mountains. The Zep river lay below them, leading further west into the enemy's homeland. By taking all three passes across the Canterline, the Legion of Chain had cut of any potential invasion of the lands of Gemmus Galra, Lord Brutin's ally.
An officer, Captain by rank, moved up to Hex and saluted. The machine turned and returned the gesture before the man spoke, "Sir! Word from the other two divisions. Commander Duket's Elites are heading third division and have made it safely down the pass. They are following the Zep to the rendezvous point. They have mined the pass and left a small garrison at the outpost as ordered. Second division reports that they will be at the rendezvous tomorrow night, there were some delays getting the mines into place."
Hex nodded and turned back to the view from the wall. Below, the soldiers of the Legion marched in ordered formations down the pass trail. The battles for the pass outposts had been small, mere skirmishes. Now the war would begin in earnest...
