Chapter 151 The northern rebellion 4 (1/2)
”hey are we there soon?”
asking for the 231th time Kim made Mars give yet another sigh and as always the captain answered
”we're there when we're there Kim”
it was snowing lightly as the group made their way through the northern wilderness, well there was a dirt road so it wasn't completely wilderness, the group had been walking for a few days they were still heading north towards Bellmoral and so far it had been smooth sailing, or rather walking so far
”wait, what's that?”
Kim pointed up in the sky, Mars looked up and gave a smile before he launched a fire spear into the air which hit the thing Kim was pointing at
”ah! why did you kill it?”
”because it was another surveillance golem”
”I see, well then it's okay....”
Kim walked over to Mars and reached up and began patting him on the head
”...what are you doing Kim?”
”rewarding you for good job?”
Mars gave a smile and kneeled down a little so it was easier for Kim to pat him on the head
”I see, well in that case I'll gladly accept it”
”ehehehe...”
Kim laughed happily as her child like smile shone even more but both of them were interrupted by the captain that gave a fake cough
”Mars I don't think we have time for that right now...”
the captain pointed and Mars followed his point with his eyes and spotted a group of soldiers that was heading towards them
”right... here comes the army of Bellmoral, what do you think the odds are they are after us?”
”high... they don't look friendly”
”yup, you guys better quickly wear your armor”
”right...”
the dark knights quickly suited up as the soldiers approached, when the soldiers saw the dark armor the dark knight were wearing they raised their spears, the group of soldiers Mars' group had run into was about 20 men strong, a commander like soldier raised his spear as a cold light flashed in his eyes before he commanded
”kill them!”
Mars gave a sigh and put a hand on the hilt of his sword as a wide smile formed on his face
”be right back”
Mars disappeared from view and reappeared again a few seconds later along with a gust of wind that blew his hair around as he sheathed his sword, meanwhile the group of soldiers fell over, there was a thin cut on each of their necks, they were all dead
”you really are fast...”
”amazing!”
the captain and Kim was both amazed by Mars' speed, Mars gave a smug smile and explained
”it's all in the fine control of the muscles when you move at those kinds of speed”
”...I believe you, let's move on”
over the next few days Mars single handedly killed more than 80 soldiers in total, as for the rest he let them flee as for the reason why he let them go it was simple, to spread fear as he explained to Kim
”you see an unknown enemy can be scary but an enemy that can kill you in an instant is even more scary”
”I see! you're so smart Mars!”
the group had entered the mountains range a few days ago and was nearing Bellmoral by following a narrow mountain road with a steep cliff on one side and a mountain wall on the other
”hey are we there yet?”
Kim once again asked, this time it was the 314th time she had asked the exactly same question and as always the captain answered
”we're there when we're there Kim”
”got it captain!”
Mars gave a sigh as the rest of the day passed uneventfully and the group set up camp in a small cave that shielded them for the wind, Mars sat in front of the campfire with Victoria on his lap when the captain walked over and sat down a little away from Mars
”....what's up captain?”
the captain gave a sigh and spoke
”what do you think the odds are that all of us survive this mission?”
”hmm... 100%?”
”you really are confident... remember we are 4 people storming a fortress with hundreds of soldiers, surely the odds aren't that good?”
Mars gave a sigh and patted Victoria on the head as he spoke
