’Trinkle!! Trinkle!! Trinkle!!’
The rain had been drizzling for 6 hours now.
In fact it was so light, that no one could feel any tiny droplets sprinkling onto their bodies.
The light shower quickly cooled the hot air from the sumr night, instantly refreshing and calming all those around the vicinity.
And because it had been falling for several hours now, the earth had imdiately soaked up the rain..... forming several puddles across the hard stony ground.
’Creek! Creek!’
Even in this weather, the night was filled with lody.... as a massive group of knights stealthily made their way towards a deserted looking estate.
Amongst these n, was Jas Barn.
Several months ago, he had t with Mr.Death.
And surprisingly, even though he didn’t have enough money for the job.... Mr. Death had still agreed to aid him in taking care of Eli.
From Mr. Death’s intel, Eli should already be in this estate at this mont.
Apparently, this estate was one of his secret bases.
.
"Your highness... can we really trust this Mr. Death?" Asked one of Jas’ commanding Captains.
"His right your highness!!!
Should we really trust soone who has no honor?"
"Your highness... I think we should think this through a little bit more."
From his experience, assassins weren’t all that loyal.
And this Mr.Death was too mysterious to be trusted.
"Of course we can!
He is known for always completing his jobs, no matter what request he takes.
So since he dared to take this task, then that ans that he would do his best to accomplish it.
Now stop being such a baby." Jas answered with an irritated tone.
Jas had been waiting for this opportunity for months now... so how could he let it go just like that?
His n must be really crazy or too chicken, to demand such from him.
Besides, he still held a deep rooted grudge against Eli for disgracing him.
In his mind, Eli was the one who paid for those assassins to beat him up helplessly.
He had been in bed for months now... and frankly speaking, he wasn’t fully cured yet.
He couldn’t really fight at his full capacities... hence he had brought out a large number of his n here to do the fighting for him.
He just didn’t want to miss the mont when his n would pin down Eli.
In fact, he wanted to be the one to slice off Eli’s head clean from his neck.
Just thinking about it made his smile blossom like a maiden in love.
So how dare his n say that he should back out now?
"Hmmp!!... if you’re too scared, then say so.
Don’t keep using Mr.Death as an excuse.
We will strike tonight, and that’s that!"
"Yes your highness" Answered the helpless knight.
.
Jas had brought 3500 n to deal with Eli.
Presently, he and his n were stealthily closing in on the estate.
From Mr. Death’s report, Eli only had 2,200 n within the estate.
So, Jas was sure that with 3,500 n, they could easily wipe out Eli’s 2,200 just like that!
The closer they got, the louder the sounds from their enemies.
So guards around the estate were gisting with each other.... while others were busy patrolling around the estates gates.
When everyone was in position, Jas’ second in command quickly raised his sword in the air and yelled:
"Charge!!!"
"Yahhhhh!!!!!!!" The n replied, as they swiftly ran towards the estate.
As knights, sneaky moves were seen as cowardice.
So running up ahead and letting the enemy know that they were here, was the right way to go.
They were not assassins.... they were knights.
They acted like the ’Spartans’ in the movie ’300:’, who just ran up yelling at their enemies.
I an, you’ve already set up traps and sneaked in, why yell and ruin it all?
Also... Normally, if they were here to take over a city or town, then Jas would’ve sent a ssenger over.
The ssenger would negotiate with those who want to be slaves and so on.
But this mission was to kill Eli, and not to take over anything..... Hence no ssengers are required for this one.
As per normal code of conduct, even if they sneak attacked... they were supposed to announce their presence just before the attack.
Hence they yelled out when they were a little distance from the estate.
Anyway, they were knights with honor and pride.
Hence they ran in, like indestructible forces from hell.
.
’Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!’
The n ran towards the estate with bloodthirsty eyes, as they held their swords firmly in their hands.
Their prominent muscles and veins bulged out like balls of strength, rippling across every part of their bodies... as they charged forward like seasoned warriors.
’Splash! Splash!’
Their feet caused droplets of muddy water, to dance energetically from the ground in a haphazard manner.
Very quickly, so of the enemy guards at the gates rushed forward in attempt to counteract the n.
Others ran into the estate to alert their master, while so tried to close the estate’s main gate.
But of course, it was too late.
’Ahh!’
’Cling! Cling! Cling!’
Those at the gates had been killed, and the n stord into the place like an angry mob.
One should know that their enemies didn’t expect any attacks.... so they were a little bit unprepared.
Captain Hoghins who was Jas’ fourth in command, quickly led his own squad forward.
Instantly, he spotted an enemy running towards him.
The enemy tried to cut his left hand off with his sword.
But he quickly, blocked the enemy’s attack... and kicked the enemy’s knee with his right leg.
’Ugh!!’
From tears, he wasted no ti in swinging his sword in full force.
’Slash!!’
The enemy’s right hand had been cut off.
’Slash!’
Followed by the enemy’s head.
Of course he didn’t have ti to celebrate his victory, as another enemy was making his way towards him.
With this one, before the enemy could even attack him... he quickly ducked and hugged the enemy’s waist, forcing him to fall on his back.
’Stab!’
His sword had once again pierced through his enemy’s body... seething deep into his heart.
This was war!!!
