#Vergilia is a queen idec

[nossumusmanus]

Finally going to take a stab at writing out this headcanon post regarding Quintus's injuries sustained from Vergilia.

Given Vergilia's moveset, the fact that her weapon is a gunlance/gunberd, and the fact that Quintus explicitly states that he may never be able to take the battlefield again due to his injuries --

I'm going to headcanon that the worst wounds are abdominal, with the secondary ones being to his leg(s). The gist of the idea is that initially Quintus was able to contend with Vergilia and hold her off so that his remaining troops could retreat with the civilians they had managed to save, but given the fact that the Tempered are relentless and not at all bound or limited by ordinary restrictions like fatigue or emotions, Vergilia was able to wear him down soon enough.

In the end, it took was a well-timed explosive round from her gunlance to catch Quintus off-guard, a slash at his legs to incapacitate him, and a slash and thrust to his midsection to keep him down for good. That's sort of the tl;dr of the situation.

If not for the soldiers who chose to disobey him and come back to help, he probably would be dead.
