20 Finding the 13th Legion (2/2)

The cry from the thin boy woke up everyone and all looked at him. By now, he remembered why the girl in front of him looked really familiar. Her white armor, even if it was very dirty, and her beautiful face. He already saw those a month ago. It was when he was captured after killing the assassin of his fiancé. Three people escorted a man out of the prison he was. She was accompanied by two silver knights. Later, he learned that it was the princess Murinë Gwendhir. And now, he realized that his group was trying to **** her?

”SHUT UP! Or do you want someone to find us? Because if anybody learns about what we were doing this, no one will be spared. Not you because I will make sure that everyone falls together. As for that girl, she will not survive what we will inflict to her anyway.”

That ranting made by the chief of the group calmed the instincts of the rest. In their minds, for the moment, only Daryl and their boss touched the girl, so why were they caught in that? Of course, none of them will pass that golden occasion.

”But … but…”

SPANK

”Another word and you will die in this part of the forest, Capiche? You got it?”

The tall soldier unconsciously used a dialect of a region in the Republic of Avenio. Every convict received that offer, even if they were foreigners caught on their ground. Of course, only people from Massalia and Genablum will reach the position of a commandant, but strangers can accomplish enough to gain the position of a low-ranked officer. The young boy didn't dare to say anything, but he was secretly enjoying the situation. He tried to warn them with kind intentions and since no one wanted that, he hoped that they will all go to Hell.

”Well, that was nice but I don't have time. I think none of the instructors will dare to complain if I do their jobs, so farewell former member of the 13th Legion.”

Right after saying this and not letting anyone recover from the shock, she grabbed with her right hand the sword hanging on her neck and use her left elbow to violently hit the stomach of Daryl. Even if she was young, she was far stronger than this bunch of scums and just that made the lustful man fly a few meters. Now holding a true sword, she sliced and slashed the entire group in front of her. In less than five seconds, from ten human beings alive, only three were still breathing. One was deeply injured and will probably die from his broken ribcage. As for the two others, they were too shocked to move.

The forty years old man stumbled while retreating. He still managed to unleash his sword, but his hands couldn't stop shaking. His prey was covered by mud and grass and this part of the forest was nearly harmless. So why such a strong woman was in that state. That doesn't make any sense. This last line of thought was still present in his mind when Muirnë beheaded him. He didn't even notice it in his state of panic. Once she was finished, she looked at the terrified boy, only to see him pointing something behind her. Turning, she saw the rapist running away. He was a little stronger than she expected.

”Stay here, don't move”

The last survivor didn't dare to even breathe after hearing this order. The princess grabbed her helmet and felt a lot better. Her hand was making her feel like she was under the hammer of a blacksmith. A terrible one, that was capable of hammering without any rest. Less than a minute later, she arrived in front of Daryl and she saw him kneel and beg for his survival. Not caring at all, she pierced his heart, granting him a merciful death. Only after all those actions, did she feel on her knees.

For a few minutes, she stayed like that. She didn't feel anything for the death of the men and it was as easy for her as drinking water. But all the blood around her was making Muirnë crazy and her hunger was tormenting her. Even at that time, in front of the corpse of the soldier, she couldn't help but desire that body. She tried to resist that terrible temptation, but only after remembering that she will soon enter a camp filled with blood, did she acknowledged her current state. After making peace with herself, Muirnë let her instinct overcome her.
