"Ready?" Hayden glance at Zane.
"Anytime, General." Zane also glances at him with a smirk.
Chuckle, Hayden look at the front. Their distance has been shortening. This is the perfect time to attack.
"Now!"
Boom!!
A huge blast of thunder hit the first front line. Ten to twenty ogre has been burned down by the huge thunder.
"Ergh!!"
Zane uses his strength to lift up ten ogres in the air before he throws it to their back formation.
Bam!!
"Damn heavy!" He curses and rubs his shoulder a bit. Even though he lifting them from afar and use his abilities to do so, the ogre is quite heavy than normal people. Lifting ten of them like lifting half of the people in the village.
They continue to fight and block them from getting close to the village. Once Farrell has done with the barrier, he helps both of them at the front line.
He uses his abilities to make the ground become muddy mud and once the army trap into it, he hardens back the ground making them stuck there and unmovable.
"Interesting. I want them so badly. Their power..their abilities.." King Severn said with ambiguous. His eyes are full of determination.
From afar, Hayden could notice the king who watches them from the luxury palanquin. His face shows his greedy expression and that make him sick by just looking at it.
"Thunder beast, transform." He uttered and within a second, his sword changes its form into a bow. A bolt of thunder form from his palm like an arrow shape.
He aims his target while the two of his comrade taking care of the army.
"This is your lesson for trying to attack my cat." He murmurs and releases the thunder arrow.
Swoosh!
With a speed, the lightning hit the king's half-face. Burned it and electrocute half of his head.
"Arghhhh!!!!!!" King Severn covers his face with his trembling palm. The burning flesh smoke could be smelled and his face clearly smeared with blood and burned skin.
"Your Majesty!" His general immediately returns to him and call a medic unit to tend on his condition.
"Farrell!! Push them out far from here. We need to go now!" Hayden gives an instruction.
Nodded his head, Farrell rises a new barrier from the ground, push it to the ogre army and he opens the barrier circle around the village for Hayden and Zane get inside.
They cannot keep continuing this war. This is bad because they are currently in the enemy land. They also cannot let them have Yuina, so, the safest action they need to take is run back to their kingdom. At least, until then, Hayden hopes they can gather all of the dragon's guardian before they start attacking Zirconia.
"Princess!" Hayden shouts while entering the village.
"Kyra, Yuina. We need to go.. hurry up!" Zane also shouting, calling the two of them.
Yuina who is currently soothing a young boy, stretch her neck out from his hiding place. "Hayden? Zane?"
"Princess, we need to go now. We can't stay here. They targeting us." Hayden went to her with the horse and grab her waist to sit on the saddle.
Kyra also takes the horse and get on the saddle.
"They're not gonna harm this village, Farrell will make a barrier and it will dissolve around two days," Hayden explain to Lala and the head of the village. Even though it might reveal they're true identity to the villagers, he did not care at all. Their safety comes first.
"Thank you for your helping, young man."
"It's our duty." Hayden bows his head a bit before he rides the horse out from the village followed by Zane and Kyra.
Once they out from the village, Farrell rise up again the barrier and run to his horse to following Hayden from behind.
The barrier that pushes the army slowly dissolve as they riding their horse far away from the village.
…
"Gahh!!!! Find them!!" King Severn shout angrily.
His General then instruct a few trackers to find them once the barrier dissolves.
After two hours, the tracker returns back to their camp.
"Mr. General.." The tracker said trembly.
"Speak."
"They run into Zirconia kingdom. We can't trace them because the border soldier suddenly came up and kill two of our men who intrude their land."
"Tch! Such a troublesome." He then leaves the man and went to the King's tent. Sending the message to the King.
After hearing the information from his general, King Severn spit on the ground angrily.
"They dare to intrude my land first, they attack my soldier and dare to attack me?! The king of this kingdom! They really brave to spark a war. If the war they want, then the war I should give them." He narrows his eyes to the General.
"Gather all the strongest army. Giant tribe, Ogre, Gnoll, Ettin, Satyr and Werewolf tribe. I want them all to be ready. The war will begin again. I want them to know, do not mess around with the Onyx Kingdom. I will rule their nation, bring doom to them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The General bowed his head down and went out of his tent.
…
"I think we're safe now." Hayden slows down his horse and looks around him.
They are now safely returning back to the Zirconia Kingdom and far enough from the Onyx land.
Zane looks at the dark sky. "We should rest now. Traveling in the dark will be trouble for us."
All of them agree to Zane's suggestion. Kyra gets down from her horse and tied it at the tree before she went to Zane.
"Zane, is there any water source nearby?" Kyra asks.
"At the right side around twenty foot from here, there's a river," Zane said while making their tent.
"Thanks. Let's get wash up first, Yuina. I feel sticky after the whole day riding the horse. Ah..my back hurt." Kyra stretching up a bit making Yuina chuckles.
She then turns to look at Hayden. But he was nowhere to be found.
"He's gone to find our dinner, dear," Zane said. His eyes caught Yuina's action.
"Oh?" Yuina blushed a bit when Zane catch her action.
"Mm..someone worried about her lover, huh?" Kyra also teases her.
"What? No.." Yuina's face turn reddish and she immediately took her clothes and went to river direction that Zane just tells them.
After both of the girls gone, Farrell took the chance to ask Zane something that has been wandering around his mind for two days now.
"Is Yuina and Hayden is a lover?" Farrell stands beside Zane.
Smiling, Zane squinted his eyes a bit. Trying to find a perfect word for both of them.
"Hmm..more like a suitor, but both of them did not take any further step. Just..flirting to each other. So, soon you will get accustomed to their flirting action. It's quite entertaining though." Zane chuckles a bit. Yup, he enjoys it when he can tease both of Yuina and Hayden.
Even though Hayden is stiff like a block of wood and always hard as stone, but when it comes to his princess, he will immediately turn to be an obedient dog, protective husband, and cute dragon. This side of his, he only shows it to his princess and people who are close to him. Like the new comrade in their journey.
"Thought so..both of them..look good together." Farrell rubs his chin. He already notices how Hayden will act around Yuina and also how Yuina will easily be crimsoned around Hayden. But, he also admiring Yuina.
'Well, whatever it is..as long as I can serve and protect her will be enough for me.'
