So my brain took revolution!AU to mean Revolutionary War. Please excuse my American brain.
Peter's back is pressed up against the rough bark of a tree, somewhere to his right Edmund and the rest of their troops - hopelessly few men, but he's won wars with less before - are concealed behind the great trees of the forest. He can hear Susan's smooth words and Lucy's innocent laughter - a ploy, of course, Lucy hasn't been innocent for years and years, since Narnia - as they lead the British general into the forest.
Afterwards, Edmund remarks about killing a British general, in a way, one of them, but the corpse is not one of them, not their people, and the people they are fighting for are not their people either, but it as close as it gets.
