Chapter 78 - Defending the Caravan (1/2)

Annabeth yelled- ”I'm here to help.” as she sliced through a spartan warrior sporting their red colors that was about to spear the Athenian warrior on the ground who was in blue colors.

Io knowing she was never going to be a physical warrior like Annabeth took up the bow but lost it during their travels, only recently replacing in a small town. Drawing it full length, showing the experience of having done this numerous times before she let fly her arrow, piercing a warrior charging at Annabeth from the side.

”Anna, don't let your guard down.” Io kindly reminded

”I know!” Annabeth yelled back, irritated that she was being told something she knew. It wasn't like the warrior was even close to being able to kill her.

One Spartan yelled- ”It seems these weak fools needed help from a couple of women.” Gaining some mock laughter while completely disregarding their brethren's deaths.

Spartan leader- ”Thomas, Nikos, take care of the women, let's finish this fight!” he gave a military chime that they all reciprocated before increasing their aggressiveness.

A fat guy peeked out from one of the horse-drawn carriages, gazing upon the two beauties who came to help.

The Athenian leader yelled out his orders trying to rally his men into formation to little effect as they were chopped down immediately whenever they lost focus for a fraction of a second. These men weren't here for tough battles, they thought it was a simple escort, never did they think their lives would be at risk.

Io seeing a man charge shot countless arrows at him, only for his shield to block every single shot that he didn't manage to dodge.

Annabeth seeing Io in trouble attempted to go back before she dodged a spear strike from the side. Worried she angrily turned to her attacker throwing a random strike that he easily blocked and then shield bashed her away.

Chuckling he commented- ”Battle isn't a place for a woman, drop your weapons and I'll let you warm my bed tonight.”

Surprisingly this calmed Annabeth, realizing she lost control earlier, she grew quiet while taking a stance.

The man seeing he failed to rattle her thought nothing of it since she was still just a woman. He sneered as he moved forward thrusting his spear out. Annabeth ready and waiting moved forward dodging by a hair's breadth as she moved forward to his now exposed side and swiped her dagger across his open neck, all within a fraction of a second.

Eyes wide, he fell clutching his throat as he bled out not believing he was just done in by a woman.

Annabeth turned quickly to check on Io, a heart-stopping moment as she saw the man about to pierce her.

Io was nowhere near prepared enough to fight someone so skilled and grew fl.u.s.tered as the gap closed knowing she was in trouble.

Theoric feeling Sigyn's nervous squeeze held her hand tightly preventing her from moving.

”Theo!?” Sigyn said panicking a little.

”Relax,” he said with a grin.

Sigyn eyes grew wide in fear as she saw the spear's decent and gave a yelp- ”Oh, no.” turning her head away into Theorics c.h.e.s.t so she didn't have to see the horrific sight.
