Chapter 145 – A Bloody Night
In a huge wooden warehouse – thousands of miles away from Jura…
"There are two level 10 trying to escape from the back exit!" Peon shouted and pointed in a certain direction
"On it." One of the knights next to him answered and jumped towards the place that Peon had pointed out with two other knights behind him
Then he pointed in another direction and shouted, "Theo, I will leave cleaning the eastern side to you, don't allow anyone to escape from there."
*swoosh swooooosh*
Without warning, blood started splattering over the walls of the eastern side, tens of heads flew around and bounced on the flour like crickets, but no one saw what caused this hideous sight…
all they know is that there is something lurking in their shadows…
"COME OVER HEEEERE!!" A shout came from the center of the building, as a milky white tornado rose more than 14 meters and began to destroy all around it, the moment the tornado appeared the roof turned to ashes and dozens were killed
"Arghhhhhhh"
"It is the White Flame Demon and his squad!!"
"I surrender! Please stop!!"
"Nooooo!! why are they here?!"
The shouts rose and the weapons were lowered.
all their courage and determination to fight disappeared with the appearance of the famous white fire…
They knew their enemy now.
The ominous White Flame Demon squad that chases the gathering spots of the rebels wherever they go, the squad that all of its members are soaked from their toenails to their hair with the blood of any human that thought about joining the rebels.
"Caesar, there are 3 individuals that are trying to flee at high speed, they are most likely knights, got to the northwest to intercept them in the 200 meters mark, but careful.. it looks like a tough fight" Peon shouted
"FINALLY!! you take care of things here, Theo, Alfred come with me!" Caesar stopped the flame tornado around him and leaped north in haste, and behind him, two shadows followed close.
After Caesar left, Peon jumped to the highest point of the wooden warehouse and began to say the new orders, "First Company, surround the place… Second Company, gather weapons from those who surrendered and arrest them… Third Company, attack everyone who has not yet fallen on their face… Fourth Company, go to the mud Hut 100 meters to the southeast and arrest those in it… Fifth Company—-"
"Sir, let my company go to aid Caesar's company, three knights might be too many for them!" One of the knights advanced towards Peon and gave a slight bow
"LISTEN AND OBEY your orders, seventh Company officer! your lords Caesar And Theo will take care of their assignment." Peon replied furiously, then returned to continue what he is doing…
He knew very well the abilities of his two brothers after they rose to the 12th level of equestrian
"… Yes"
Groups of three knights began to rush in succession to carry out what they were ordered to, although some of them are stronger than Peon and all of them are older than him, they moved to carry out their tasks without an additional word
Peon has already become a high-ranking officer in the army after reaping many achievements, and his ability to survey his surroundings and identify every big and small threat is unparalleled among them, especially after he broke through to the 12th level of Knighthood!
Their only regret is that they can't fight along side their leader, the White Flame Demon, and can only watch his glory from afar this time
And that didn't take too long… even before Peon finished saying all his commands for the eighth company, two White flame Tornados erupted exactly 200 meters to the northwest without warning.
Half an hour later…
Caesar, Alfred, and Theo returned to the wooden warehouse, but not as energetic as they left it…
Their sight was more tragic than the corpses lying around them…
All remaining resistance is already over, the company that went to the mud house came back soaked in the blood of their enemies…
and they are all busy tying up their new slaves.
Byun jumped down when he saw the trio, smiling, "Looks like you had a good fight, good luck!"
"arghhh, my spine… DAVE WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, GET ME SOME WINE AND MEAT… AND A FEW VITALITY TALISMANS" Caesar shouted at one of the knights,
then he collapsed and sat on one of the headless corpses after a few more steps, and turned to reply at Peon " ..Don't remind me, one of them was a normal spy at level 13 and the other was an elite at level 15, but their third was a level 16 knight!! What the hell is A knight of this level doing in a shithole like this?!"
It was common to find knights across the new lands, they empower the rebels, attacks the Burtons production lines to slow down their work, even try to assassinate the Burtons and The Bradleys knights and important figures if a chance arises
That is why the hunt for the rebels is always done by squads of knights, as sometimes they find gathering spots that have more than twenty enemy knights!
but seeing knights that are above level 15 was very rare…
.. The other two, Theo and Alfred, fell tiredly in their places as well as
Theo was absent minded trying to suppress his pain, in his chest was a small charred hole going all the way to his back, Peon could actually see through it, it was clearly caused by an extremely compressed lightning strike…
As for Alfred, he was worse than the two, his hair, his clothes, and all his body actually was partially fried… it visually suggests that he did not stop receiving lightning shocks for a moment, he did not seem to be very far from death…
"Tsk tsk~ very lucky indeed… if I knew that there was one of them with such a high cultivation level, I would have come with you as well," Peon shook his head sorrowfully
it's been a few years since the rebellion war started, and since then they haven't thought of returning to Jura
this is the best place to train their combat abilities and explore more into their laws to find what Robin couldn't…
Robin's work has elevated them and made them knights, but he wasn't someone who actually practiced these laws…
he gave them the guide lines and now they have to find their own.
Just like the flame tornado, it was something that wasn't mentioned in the Law technique, but Caesar discovered it with battle experience.
and their father Robin also no longer needed their presence around him since he is under the protection of many saints in the heart of Jura City…
this is their home and life now.
then Peon continued, "If I`m not mistaken, I think they were intentionally slowing themselves down to make us lower our guard and tempt one of us to attack them… that is dangerous, we have to be more careful from now on… well never mind, for now, I will think of something later, did you kill them?"
Peon paid no heed to Caesar's complaints, knowing full well that he was happy to find a good fight.. they had not had the chance to fight someone with such strength in a fight to the death for over a month.
Caesar took a deep breath and replied, "We killed the two weak ones, the level 16 guy managed to escape, but it's okay… I grilled that motherfucker just fine and Theo cut off his right arm, if he doesn't die from his injuries then at least we won't see him ever again."
"I… I'm sorry… if Brother Peon… was with you… you would have killed.. that Knight…" Alfred gathered a bit of his strength and spoke with a weak voice
"Don't be too hard on yourself, I saw your flames, you strengthened Caesar's attacks and it seems that you contributed a lot to taking the blows hahaha, don't worry next time you will see your big brother Peon sending wind blades right and left!"
Peon laughed under his black mask, during the past years of fighting almost daily, it brought him back a sense of brotherhood and brought him back some of his previous laughter.
Caesar nodded, " you are Right, He has already learned the flame tornado that I came up with recently, the kid has a good future in playing with fire!"
"That's normal, Who doesn't learn quickly in such a hostile environment will become the-…hmm?"
Peon paused mid-speech and looked toward his ring before passing energy into it and continued, "Hey Uncle Billy, did you find our next target so quickly? We have a few injuries right now and… what?… yes… yes….."
after the glow on the ring disappeared, Peon looked at Caesar and said one word, "Strange…"
"What is Strange? What does uncle Billy want from us?" asked Caesar
"Our Father has requested our immediate return to Jura City…." Peon replied in a surprised voice
