Chapter 199: Good Work Ed
"This isn't their only force, they have back-" Before the man could continue to speak, one mber of the Blood sect army entered the room. He was the one responsible for delivering news to the commanders, so he didn't need permission.
"We've noticed a small army of 10.000 approaching from the east." The information he provided picked the interest of the commanders except for the man with the missing arm.
"There will be another force coming from the west as well." He continued speaking as he had the sa information as the informant.
"With such a small number, they won't be able to change anything. Get a detachnt of 20.000 soldiers from both the left and right armies and have them engage with the new forces. Tell them to wash their necks if they fail." The supre commander of the army spoke. He was a tall muscled man. He had short black hair and squinty black eyes. His rough yet calm voice seed to complent his position. His mustache t up with his goatee and gave him a younger look even though he was in his forties.
"The war will be over as soon as the force we sent to Avalon returns. Once Arthur sees his kingdom in flas and his family in pieces, he won't be able to continue this war." The leader spoke as e squinted his eyes.
"Is that the only thing you managed to find out?" He turned around and looked at the man. It was not the informant, as he had already left to tell the armies.
"For the information, that is all. But I got a certain treat from killing that kid. A weapon I have never seen before. And I'm not talking about its type, no! Everything from quality to crafting technique, it has reached the top of all I have seen!"
Even the man with the missing arm was hyping up this weapon, it didn't seem like those present believed him. The other three commanders were two n and a woman.
One of them n had green eyes and hair. He had a face that seed to enjoy solitude more than anything and didn't like the noise caused by the armless man. He was of average height and build and didn't seem to have any special features. He was in his late twenties.
The other man seed to be rather old as his black hair had already started going grey. He rested a Nodachi, which was a long katana, on his shoulder. His eyes remained closed throughout the conversation, except for when the leader spoke.
The last mber, the woman had silver hair and silver eyes. If Edward were here he'd see a certain resemblance to Lilliana whom he had t in Aaragon when he went to save Emilia. However, unlike Lilianna, she was rather short.
"It's this blade." The armless man brought out a black katana that let out a large amount of killing intent. Although it didn't have a sheath on, no one thought that it reduced from its quality. Everyone in the room felt it and turned their attention towards the man they had ignored. In reality, they were looking at the weapon he was holding.
"A brat like that had such a weapon on him?!" The old man looked astounded as he knew the rarity of Shusui. He stood up from his spot and looked like he wanted to jump and take it, but he relented from doing so.
"Did you get anything else from him?" The woman that teased him before asking him. Greed could be seen in her eyes.
"No. For so reason, he didn't have a spatial ring on him." As the armless man spoke, the others felt let down.
"Why did you bring out such a weapon? You could have kept it hidden and sold it for an unimaginable amount of money. Why did you show it to us if you know we might take it from you?" The leader brought up an interesting point. The other commanders were brought back to their senses and did indeed find it weird.
"I don't want the money, I want to be stronger! I'll give you this weapon if you promise to let et the sect master!" The armless man spoke as he approached the leader. The latter seed to think about; even though he didn't need to do such a thing. He knew that he could make an empty promise and just kill the man in front of him. But, he had his pride and decided to do things how he sees fit.
"I accept." He said so and as the man walked further ahead to give him the weapon, sothing unthinkable happened. The man rushed at the leader and stabbed him with the sword.
"What do you think you're doing?!" The woman from earlier shouted as she couldn't believe what had happened.
"Indeed, what do you think you're doing? Do you believe you'll get with such a stupid attack?" said the leader. He caught the sword with his bare hands. Since the attack was clumsy and weak, it didn't even injure him.
"I didn't even have such an idea, but one hour is almost up and I don't have a lot of ti." The armless man's words surprised everyone as they didn't understand what he ant. Other than the leader, everyone stopped to think about it. The leader didn't care and attacked him. Such a thing was treason and the armless man needed to be executed in order to show his authority. He attacked his left side which was defenseless due to his missing arm.
A loud noise was heard as the leader's QI enhanced fist connected with the man's side. Or at least that's what he thought. Everyone looked aghast as if a ghost had just appeared in the room. In fact, it was indeed a ghost as Ed took the place of the armless man, and blocked the leader's fist with his arm.
"You're indeed worthy of leading such a big army, you monster. My arm is shattered." Ed smiled as he looked at his dangling left arm. The leader's attack could have pulverized him, but he managed to block most of the damage thanks to Ryuu and Ken.
"How are you still alive?!!" the commanders shouted, but they didn't care about such a thing. What they wanted to know was how he managed to trick all of them at once.
"I don't have the ti for chit-chat. I'll co back for you all in a second, and I'll show you what it ans to challenge us." Ed looked at all four of them and released a thick wave of killing intent, stopping them from approaching him.
"As for you, you can't remove your hand from the weapon, right? That's good." Ed looked at the leader as he had used his Telekinesis to bind his hand to Shusui. He let out a smile and the two of them disappeared from within the headquarters of the Blood sect army.
"You played , you little bastard." The leader, nad Harald, frowned as he looked at his surroundings. He was behind the coalition army, surrounded by the kings of the kingdoms that opposed Blood sect.
"We'll have you die right here. Good work Ed." Arthur spoke as he walked towards Harald.
