章 19: Chapter 19: Encircled
* Battle report *
* What had just happened shocked all the warriors present. Philis having jumped on the king struck full heart and made him fall squarely from his horse *.
-Majesty. * Shouted a guard *.
* They wanted to intervene but Emvis' men intervened and blocked them *.
- You're not going anywhere.
- Damn .... MAJESTY.
* Emvis had a smile on his face, satisfied with the work his subordinate had accomplished *.
-Well it looks like we won.
-It depends on who loses.
* The voice surprised everyone. Alto had grabbed the Killick's hand and was slowly straightening up *.
-What ... How? * Said Philis shocked *.
-Unlike you, I have solid armor, you monster. And my sacred relic grants me a strength you can't even imagine. Is it me or all the Killicks claim to be elite warriors?
- I suspected it. * Thought Emvis *. Our man is not the only relic bearer.
* Alto straightened up and got to his feet until he was facing Philis. The latter surprised at first, tightened his face in anger. The Efrat overflowed and a wave of blue aura spread around it *.
-Hey motherfucker where you shake my hand like that.
* His hands were twisting and looking more and more like claws. He withdrew his arm violently and struck the king again with his sword. The old man blocked the blow but the shock nearly crushed him creating a crater on the ground *.
-I'm going to hide the old man.
-I will die in my bed damn monster.
* Alto kicked him back with a violent kick then the two individuals engaged in a brutal exchange of kicks. Ordinary soldiers who witnessed the scene received one hit out of three. Each impact made the blades gray until Philis' weapon shattered. The king stabbed him with a halberd and threw him away with a kick. He put one knee on the ground under the fatigue *.
-Majesty....
-Damn it what a fight.
* Emvis walked over with folded arms and eyed the exhausted old king *.
- Looks like your life is ending here. You will be able to boast of having defeated an expert rank Killick.
- I suspected it. * tell Alto panting *. He's not an elite warrior.
* Emvis smirked slightly as a figure sat up behind. The wound in Philis' chest closed *.
- What did you not know? All the Killicks on Earth. Are elite warriors.
-Haaa, you are really beasts you.
* Philis cracked the back of his neck and picked up an ax *.
-And of a king's head one ....
* He neither saw the horse arrive behind nor felt the monstrous aura emanating from it. A violent blow of the sword made its head waltz in the air and the black horse braked just at the level of King Alto *.
-L .... Lord Jeremy?
* Steam emanated from his body as well as some lightning *.
* Gavin *
* I am only a simple soldier, since childhood I have been harping on my ears about the war stories lived by our parents so I wanted or at least I hoped to live such an adventure to have something to tell my little children. But damn what I was a fucking idiot. While we were fighting on the left flank I had a front row seat to witness this massacre. There was nothing we could do to stop these monsters sweeping over us. Nothing except to wait our turn. These wolves and other flying creatures that give you nightmare killed everything in their path. One of the troll-like monsters came up in front of me and let out a shrill cry. I stood petrified, barely moving an eyelash when he raised his fist *.
-I am going to die.
* That's what I thought but I saw the troll's head split in two and he fell to his knees in front of me dead *.
-Ha .. Haaaaa ...
-PULL YOURSELF.
* I jumped surprised and looked up. I then saw Lord Jeremy on his mount with his relic. His face was covered in blood but he barely frowned *.
- Pull yourself together. * He yelled *. They are only pulpit puppets like us. Doesn't a sword blow make them falter? Am I not covered in their blood right now?
-But you have ....
-ENOUGH. Enough of this cowardly talk. Fight for your life. If you are so afraid of death, fight. This is the only way to escape this hell.
* I don't know why but seeing him kill one of those monsters right in front of my eyes gave me hope. Our minds have remained matrixed for far too long *.
-I'm going to fight. * I screamed *. Even if I have to do it alone I will fight.
-Of course you're going to fight. * He told me smiling *. Chaaaaaarge
* The time for a response had come. Lord Jeremy and his men were much stronger than us. Their teamwork allowed them to overcome several mutants. Those who flew were lured to the ground then captured with a net before being pierced by javelins. You don't have to say these guys were very strong. They even managed to surround the Mad Killick *.
-Don't let him join the line. * Said the lieutenant *.
-You remain living beings. If you ever see your head cut off you will die.
-In the end, the famous elite warriors are not worth much, eh.
* Me on my side I was facing an Adrun officer. We were already 5 against him but he killed all my comrades leaving me alone. That said, I was defending myself quite a bit against him. The man had received a hip injury which was causing him to bleed. He was staggering a lot and his blows were fierce on my shield. He wasn't even trying to be technical. On his last blow he ejected my shield but my spear pierced his thigh. I was amazed at how easily the blade had passed through his pulpit. He himself looked at me surprised. I withdrew my sword and planted it in his heart. The look he gave me before he died gave me chills. He was the first man I killed *.
-I ... I'm sorry. Really sorry...
* I withdrew my weapon then I let out a cry behind me and instinctively dodged before stabbing my enemy through reflection. Even though I killed by chance. Another approached and I dodged his sword which I also impaled, then lifted my shield and blocked a sword blow. Admittedly I put on one knee on the ground but I had an opening to plant his leg. Then I finished him by planting his throat. But as I stood up I heard a noise cut through the air. I instinctively turned and shielded myself. An ax hit my shield, which shattered. The blow knocked me to the ground. I straightened up and grabbed a shield from my friend's body and pulled myself back into position. This is where I live. The mad Killick who had been provoked had thrown an ax which, as it whirled, cut into pieces a dozen guys at the trunk. The ax had reached me eventually, but it had lost its force. I watched him terrified as I saw him pick up a javelin. He threw it up and stacked 4 guys in a single throw. He picked up two spears and threw them impinging other soldiers *.
- Someone stop him.
* As he was unleashed a black horse emerged from the ranks. It was Lord Haneman. He landed a raging blow as the other struck with his sword but Lord Haneman's attack was so brutal that it shattered his weapon and sliced his chest. The blood of the Killick Gushed as he collapsed to the ground *.
-Retreat * He yelled *. General withdrawal. Let the men in my unit cover the retreat.
-To your orders my Lord.
* He approached me who was still admiring what I had just seen *.
-You what's your name? * Lord Jeremy asked me *.
-Ga ... Gavin my lord.
-From now on you will be the troop leader. Try to guide everyone inside the city.
-Me but ....
-If you fail we're all dead I'm counting on you.
-And you my lord? * I asked scared for him *.
-I will try to bring our king back alive. * He said determined *.
* Battle report *
* This is how Jeremy Haneman found himself in front of the king. He and Lord Ambrosius who had gone to the right flank would take care of slowing down the Killicks if possible to eliminate them and then return to the city to slow down the enemy advance. Ambros managed to appear behind Gladys and kicked off by surprise. Having said that the Killicks' reflexes were second to none, she moved her head but the sword sank into her mouth up to her jaw. Ambros was staring at her grimly *.
- Keep calm monster it will hurt less.
- You're going to pay it asshole.
* For his part, Jeremy was faced with a dilemma. The king was right there but also the leader of the enemy army. He might well come down to save his king and bring him back but on the one hand if he killed Emvis it was all over. He looked into Emvis' gaze and closed his eyes. Suddenly he began to charge the young prince with force, taking advantage of the height of his mount he struck at full force while spinning his weapon. Lightning escaped and fell on Emvis. The prince's eyes turned blue and he drew one of his twin swords. The blue flames collided with lightning then the shock wave blew all around. As the Adrun soldiers routinely retreat, the fire charred a lot of Solon. One of them made a bulwark of his body to protect his king *.
-They are of equal strength. * Said Alto stunned *.
* That said Emvis drew his other sword and in a quick circular motion sliced through Jeremy's chest, beheading his horse. *
-Lord Haneman.
* The young man fell from his horse which himself collapsed on the spot. That said he got up almost instantaneously and rushed towards the king. We could see a trace on its mesh size *.
- Looks like my sword didn't have enough reach to kill you.
-The fault of your blade standards. * Said Jeremy Sarcastic *.
-So it's you, the famous killer of Killick. You are exactly as I imagined you, you look old to me, how old are you?
-21 years old. And sorry but the hospital doesn't give a damn about charity how old are you?
* Emvis turned and formed a cross with his swords partially hiding his face as the moon lit him *.
-25 years. But you are far stronger than me when I was your age. You risk becoming a nuisance. I'm gonna have to kill you here.
-I invite you to try. Astreif worships the blood of my enemies.
-I hope your sister is well. * He said with an amused smile *.
* When Jeremy first boiled in rage but he made an effort to contain himself because he knew it was his plan to destabilize him *.
- To see your face I presume that yes casually. She will be able to thank me for having spared her brothers and sisters were not so lucky.
-You are a despicable being.
-No, on the contrary, I didn't do that out of heart. But look, your brothers and sisters probably died fighting or who knows given the number of mutants you killed, there are surely some among them.
-Jeremy calm down. He does all this for ....
-I know .... I know ... * He said staring at Emvis mad with rage *. But it's harder to contain your rage at the instigator of all this.
* He took a deep breath and regained his composure *.
-It was your plan from the start eh? * Said Jeremy *. Present yourself here in small numbers to attract the king out and then show yourself in broad daylight.
-A bit like that. In truth my plan was above all to attract your main forces here so that your rear would be free.
-But it looks like I interfered with your plan. * Said Jeremy smiling *.
* A messenger came on horseback and shouted *.
-Your Majesty the rear unit is attacked by the enemy.
-Developed. * Said Emvis at first calm *.
-An army is appearing out of nowhere and ravaging our rear lines. And worse again his leader seems to be a relic bearer.
* Emvis pretended to be impassive then turned to Jeremy who was smiling at him *.
-You thought you were the only one who knew how to develop strategies? I knew if the reinforcements weren't coming it's because you harass our supply lines. So I sent a messenger bird to a Lord you don't know existance
* The flag which floated was purple and the emblem made one think of a panther *.
-Look, it's Dreise's army. It's Lord Dreiser.
* Emvis smiled at his helplessness and shrugged *.
- Looks like you got me. Only when I said watch your rear I wasn't talking about your army. * Said smiling *.
* Jeremy's eyes widened in fear of understanding. And he understood, for in the distance behind these ravaged plains you could hear the noise of oars. There was no guard, absolutely no one because, to be honest, all eyes were on the front. These approaching boats were all very quiet. On board were two men *.
- Looks like we hit the Argus jackpot. * Said Thorn *. Not even an arrow to welcome us.
-To hear you, it sounds like you wish we were discovered.
-Of course not. Frankly, I hate unnecessary fighting.
-You surprise me Thorn I thought all Killicks were bloodthirsty barbarians.
-Kord is your image of us. But the reality is quite different, you will be shocked.
-I think I'm starting to like you. * He smiles *.
-And I therefore...
