Chapitre 226: New Order Recruitment (2)
"That was actually quite good... lady, it was really a great idea to come up with something so unexpected...
Hiding while knowing your shortcomings in frontal battle and waiting for timing to show your worth at right time
This fulfills my third and last basic condition... 'Creation of Sword'...
Well since we are done with warm up lets get the test officially started..."
As Marshall said that the air around him changed and the casual tone of his sword changed to fired up cold blade
Everyone there felt goosebumps from just a glance over Marshall, Marshall gestured the girl to stand up again and opened his mouth again
"If we go just like this then it might take a lot of time, we need to give some time to Lady Lili too you know"
Everyone heard this and for a moment Lilith became the centre of attention and Lilith herself didn't seem to like all the attention much
Marshall grabbed his sword tightly and took a deep breath and said
"Since we are knights, we should know manners too, let's get the show started..."
This time Marshall directly smashed his sword to ground and all the shadows of knights standing in ground seemed to have a little movement inside them
With a gesture of Marshall all the knights once again dashed at Marshall again, but this time Marshall didn't go in casually
This time both his sword and fist moved in sync and smashed directly to the bodies of knights sending them away crash with others approaching Marshall
Even when Marshall was fighting with 5000 knights at once, practically there were only about 10 knights who can attack him at a time
And that was enough for Marshall, the attacks of the knights came from all sides to Marshall but Marshall easily deflected their blades
And once any knight got even a touch from Marshall he didn't remain in condition to stand back again
It wasn't like they died but just the strength and force behind Marshall counter attacks were enough to send his opponents to a state of unconsciousness
Marshall was still only using the strength of just a Tier 9 being but the techniques and skills he used were clearly at the realm beyond the mortals
But even in the midst of such an intense fight there were a few who managed to show their worth there
Marshall just blocked the sword of a knight but the force behind that sword was quite outstanding
Marshall noticed the man behind the blade there looking back at Marshall with a roaring gaze
"Uaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"
The knight just decided to push Marshall back with his strength alone
The other knights were also rushing towards Marshall seeing the opportunity but Marshall opposite to their expectations didn't even move an inch
Instead Marshall just bended and little towards ground and using the same force that the knight in front of him was using to push Marshall back
Marshall flipped that knight over his back crashing him to ground and took the opportunity to kick the same guy to crash the others approaching him
That battle continued and this time it was the pair of two knights, both had best synergy among the knights there
Their attacks had the best timing, just as Marshall wanted to attack the first one the second blocked or attacked Marshall at the same moment
But this time Marshall didn't try to dodge their attacks but just as the sword of the first guy touched Marshall
Marshall grabbed the hands of another guy and with wasting a moment his made a curve at ground to dodge other swords
And used the man he had grabbed as his human weapon to finish off others within a moment
After that there were few who managed to grab Marshall's attention and almost 6 hours had passed by now and merely few dozen knights were still on ground
In a few minutes Marshall was once slightly troubled by the same black haired girl
She suddenly just came out from the places where Marshall's gaze couldn't see and tried to attack Marshall which obviously never worked
But surely that was the most effective move any knight had used or had capability to use
But after the eighth time Marshall directly grabbed the blunt sword of that girl and crushed it with his raw hands and with an approaching fist to her face
Darkness covered her consciousness, and like that the selection of Order of Fallen Sword finished
The black haired girl woke up from her unconsciousness and noticed a orange haired guy standing in front of her
"Congratulations, you are officially the member of the Order of Fallen Swords, the commander seems to like your style too..."
Hearing the orange haired guy the girl opened her eyes to fullest and burst into wide smile
"Ahhhh! That's good! That's good!!!"
The orange haired guy smiled and passed a cup of cold drink to her and said
"Then it will be good working together from now on comrade"
"You too!"
The girl grabbed the drink with a grin and cheered with the other person
"That was amazing... He is fantastic isn't he?"
Rin asked Klaus with a bright smile on her face filled with excitement, Klaus nodded and said
"He is... He sure is in a way a gentleman, even though after selecting finished the whole place looked like bloody battlefield it was just that everyone was sleeping
He used their shadows to dim the extra pain and other uncertainties, but I don't think the others will have the same position..."
As Klaus said the gaze of Rin and Seraphim moved to Lilith who was about to take out her frustration to a bunch of people for making her wait for more than 5 hours there
"Sh-she knows how to bring the dead with their memories so I guess it won't be too-!"
"Shut up!"
Seraphim was about to give an excuse but Klaus silenced her with a sharp voice
Seraphim just sat back like a nervous rabbit and attention moved to Lilith, Lilith was clearly showing an overwhelming aura unlike Marshall who was being mysterious
She was exposing a little part of her strength and potential, she was standing in front of all the newly recruited beings there
She had specifically asked for the newly recruited member of duchy here
The people in front of her were knights, adventurers, archers, assassins, mages, elves, demons and even a few onis
There was no specific goal for her, there were only 100 people in front of her that had been chosen by her
She got her information through her skills and authorities, the origin of undeads at least had this much ability
Basically she got her information from ghosts and dead spirits or phantoms roaming wild around the world
"Ok then from now on you all are the members of the Dark Raven Order, and now the task is to defeat 'them'..."
Lilith said that and all of the people in front of her looked visibly confused, shocked and surprised
"That easy!?"
"Wha- but we didn't even do anything..."
"Selected but a task..."
"Is it also under the test?"
There was a moment of happiness for them but just then next moment suddenly the ground started vibrating
The air became heavy and dense, all 100 of them noticed the change in their surrounding
And noticed the dark aura slowly rising all around them, they were surrounded by that dark circular aura from all sides
And next moment all noticed the dead corpses rising from ground, within a moment they were surrounded by hundreds of dead skeletons with swords
"A necromancer!?"
"She was a necromancer?"
"I thought she was a swordsman, but this seems cool too..."
"Hey... There are more than hundreds of them, haha... I'm getting nervous but it's exciting somehow..."
Most of the people selected by Lilith seemed to be confused and a little nervous there, but even then the majority was calm they just tightened their grip over the weapons with a weird grin over their faces
"A battle... Finally a good battle after years"
After a few seconds suddenly that voice gathered all the attention, it was an excited tone, the thrill after seeing a strong opponent was quite strong there...
After hearing him out it felt like all of them had suddenly changed the gears and the mindset had suddenly changed
The prey suddenly became a predator, the air of surprise and nervousness changed to excitement and faces that were filled with little sweats suddenly got filled with excitement and grin
"Start!!!"
With Lilith's command next moment all the people there dashed at the undead risen from death like messengers of death itself
In a few seconds both sides clashed and the real chaos started there, each one of them weren't outstanding or overwhelmingly strong like the knights
But they had one thing in common, they weren't the one that can be called as sane beings
None of them even thought before clashing, they have suddenly turned into maniacs
As time passed their original nature started to become much clearer and clearer and the old instincts in their blood started showing its effect
"Ahhh~ ... She selected people just like her..."
"There goes my expectations..."
"Muscle heads..."
Rin, Klaus and Seraphim watched the smug face of Lilith with a blank look over their eyes
