Chapter 150 The northern rebellion 3 (2/2)
Victoria opened a shadow were a leather sack appeared out of, Mars walked over and picked up the sack and opened it
”bingo”
”what is it?”
Mars threw the sack on the ground as it spilled out with coins, most of them silver but a few of them was golden, Mars gave a nod and concluded
”they weren't bandits”
”...I see, in that case let's head to a nearby town and find a way to inform the king”
”not so fast captain.... why don't we head to our detestation anyways?”
the captain gave a frown
”you want to head to Bellmoral?”
Mars gave a nod and explained
”I'm a one man army remember? plus now we have proof Bellmoral is rebelling so it's best not to waste time”
”I see...”
the captain fell into deep thought and it was not until a few moments later he looked at Mars and spoke again
”are you sure you can handle whatever they will throw at you?”
Mars gave a nod
”I won't die even if they kill me anyways”
”I see... well in that case we head towards Bellmoral”
In Bellmoral at the lord's fort the frail mage sat and meditated in his room until he once more was interrupted by a telepathic message and opened his eyes
”they shot it down but the dark knights survived? and now they are heading here?”
a trace of anger flashed in the frail mage's eyes before he began cursing
”useless pieces of shit, we paid them so well and they couldn't even do their damn job properly!”
after cursing the frail mage calmed down and rose to his feet and walked out of his room, a few minutes later he arrived at the lord's office and walked in without knocking
”lord there has been a problem... the thugs we hired have failed, the dark knights are heading here on foot”
the lord continued working on his paperwork without looking up at the frail mage and for some time both of them said nothing until finally the lord spoke
”send out the 1st army, tell them to kill anyone wearing dark armor south of the town”
the frail mage's eyes widened slightly before he hurriedly spoke
”the entire 1st army? is that really necessary?”
a cold light shone in the lord's eyes before he looked up at the frail mage and said
”We have made our choice, now we must follow it to the bitter end”
”....I see, I'll relay your orders at once”
the frail mage gave a slight bow before he turned and walked out of the room, then he followed the hallways until he arrived at a large courtyard where a large group of soldiers was training then he walked over to the one that was overseeing the training
”general”
”oh if it isn't mage Simon, have you come to join our training?”
”no I bring orders from the lord, the 1st army is to head out and kill a small squad of dark knights that have crash landed a few days south of here”
”....I see, orders received the 1st army will now head out, stop training and line up!”
as the general yelled the figures that were undergoing harsh training all stopped and quickly lined up in front of the general in two rows each consisting of 50 men
””””””we await your orders general!””””””
just as the general was about to give his orders the frail mage took himself to the head while a look of immense pain flashed on his face
”mage Simon what's wrong?”
”they shot down my surveillance golem..! I'll leave you here general”
”I see, have a good rest mage Simon”
”I fucking knew it!”
Mars had just fired a fire lance spell into the air and now he stood next to the charred remains of what looked like a metal bird with a single huge eye
”what is it Mars?”
Mars picked up a stick and poked at the golem a few times while he studied the formation runes on the body of the golem
”it's a surveillance golem, its been watching us for sometime now, most likely the enemy know our every move form before I shot this down”
”I see... so we should expect some resistance?”
Mars gave a nod
”yeah I think so”
