Ewww, plot? Why would we want to read plot when there's a fight between him and Celestia to resolve? The absurdity of it all!
Skimmed the combat bit truthfully. Looked well enough, the end result of him being injured seems to be the point of it all, truthfully. To play on Celestia's fear of losing someone even earlier than she should have to, I would think.
As for the flashback scene, good cutoff. We're finally close to seeing what all started them getting together.
wow now thats an odd thing to come across i read the description and it sounds really close to a fic i have been working on, is that odd or what, not only that my fic is called "A Moment to Remember" another simularity that drew me in on your fic just thought id let you know
sounds good from the long description, will read soon
I'm not a fan of war scenes and ponies, it makes me depressed to picture the paradise of Equestria fighting and killing when its now against some all powerful evil force or villain cliche. That's why i liked how you focused on the main character's experience instead of going into a whole "horror of war and how all of my friends and allies are going to die gory deaths" rout like the calm before the storm chapter last time. Making it a series of one on one battles helped to lesson the sting. I love the way it was written and am happy that you're saving the body counts and aftermath for later.
Looking forward to the next chapter and the eventual return of the slice of life, especially the reconciliation between him and Celly, i hope
Either he's been taken prisoner and is being treated by the enemy, causing Celestia to wig out and come down in full battle mode (and he gets to hear their side of the story), or he's back in friendly hands, and Celestia is going to be rushing to his side for an emotional reunion.
For some reason I have a bad feeling that it wasn't the Legionnaires cheering. Would make sense due to the Destrierian's strategy, curse cliff hangers.
My god if you can keep making stories like that... take all the time you need... just not that long enough or else your readers forget what this story is even about! but fantastic! this so needs to be updated!
Update? Yay Nicely written chapter, I personally don't like what you did to magic but except that great work. Now that he's knocked out I expect sudden visit from the protector of asleep, sender of kinky dreams, the mare of the moon. I wonder how Celestia is going to react when she hears what happened, at least she'll get info from somepony close.
What a cliffhanger I was just thinking, wonder how Celestia is going to react to this, and then you end the chapter Oh well can't wait for the next one
Do you know how to make a musket? Or military strategies? Because I don't, and I doubt many people do, unless they are interested in that sort of thing. It's not exactly the first thing you learn at school.
2942821 sulfur charcoal and saltpeter, roman legionaries often used a loose staggered formations, usually only attacking the enemy to the right of them while blocking the man in front of them with their shields.
Actually, during her time Faust confirmed that Blueblood is technically a cousin on the side of Celestia's mother. It was just easier to call him a nephew
Very few people can write combat well and i'd say you definatly did. Harrd to say what was "right" about it other than it just flowed well. Cant wait for more.
I'm not going to say it was the best battle scene I've ever read, but saying from experience it's pretty difficult to write a really good scene. I was REALLY hoping you were gonna write about one of the minotaurs oh well.
Anyway, kudos to you, ScatMan! As much as I was originally weirded out by separate species being intimate lovers, I very much want to see "Link" (get it? ) and Celestia reunited.
A doctor comes over and sticks his face in your field of view. He has a brown coat and a black mane. His eyes are yellow. “You’re going to be alright.”
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Well, he earn the purple heart, and you manage to do the arrow in my leg joke, I hope Equestrian magic, could cure him, maybe some zebrica remedy.
And just to have a countdown, he has now a scar in his face and various arrow scars?
By far my favorite chapter.
I find it hard coming to terms with the fact that I will have to wait to read the next chapter.
Great chapter.

Please continue.
Am I the only one who was glad that the arrow hit "my" thigh, not my knee?
why do I feel Discord is going to make his spotlight?
I always try not to think of what happens to my Tercios while I'm playing Europa 3. You're not helping.

Cheeky Son Of A!!!
Great chapter, I'm glad that we can finally see how he met Celestia.
Now all I have to wait for is Celestia to come and bust his ass out of there XD
Update? Yay
Nicely written chapter, I personally don't like what you did to magic but except that great work.
Now that he's knocked out I expect sudden visit from the protector of asleep, sender of kinky dreams, the mare of the moon.
I wonder how Celestia is going to react when she hears what happened, at least she'll get info from somepony close.
Wait? How can I wait after a chapter like that!
Scar over eye, why all of you keep using this cliche
Woah, that was pretty insane. Loved the new chapter man, keep up the good work!
Yes! I've been waiting for this fic to be updated!
Loving this fic. Just constantly keeping me on my toes.
Hope everything works out with Celestia. I dislike sad things.
