Chapter 205 An oath 2 (1/2)
Dan the general looked up from his paperwork and saw Mars and gave a slight smile, he owed Mars a lot, if not for him the reconquest would have taken a whole lot more blood to achieve
”oh Mars, what is it?”
Mars straightened his back as a reflex and spoke out
”I'm here to announce something”
”...go on”
”first off I will be leaving the main force tomorrow, second I will be taking the prisoner with me”
Dan narrowed his eyes, he was not troubled by the first thing, while it was a shame to lose Mars as he was a valuable military asset it was not the end of the world, but the second thing was unacceptable for Dan as he had already sold off the prisoner to a wealthy merchant for an insane amount of cel, Mars of course didn't know this at the time
”you are free to leave but the prisoner stays here, that's the end of it”
Dan lowered his head again and returned to his paperwork expecting Mars to let it go and leave (obviously he didn't know Mars very well) but suddenly he felt an insane amount of blood lust directed at him and looked up from his paperwork again and saw Mars now had a faint smile on his face as he asked
”who was it that captured the prisoner?”
Dan didn't back down
”so what if you captured her! she stays and that's that”
Mars gave a sigh as he looked at the general, he could see the greed in his eyes so he knew something was fishy
”you are free to try and stop me, I'll just carve a bloody path through your futile resistance”
finished saying what he wanted Mars turned on his heel and left the room, leaving behind Dan that ground his teeth in forstation
'and that's the annoying stuff over with... hopefully it ends with this...'
Mars walked back off the ship and into town passing by some soldiers of patrol he arrived at the small room and walked in without knocking...
covered by the nights darkness soldiers were moving quietly and as quickly as they could stacking up outside the small room where Yel had been last seen entering, the lead soldier raised his hand and began counting down from 5 as silently he could
”5... 4... 3... 2... 1... GO!”
at the go signal the front soldier kicked in the door and another soldier fired a fire spell thought the now open door and that exploded inside the room with a bright flash before the soldiers stormed in with weapons drawn and found.... nothing inside, there was no trace of anyone inside, the soldiers lowered their guard, just as they did a pair of blue eyes showed up in the corner of the room watching the soldiers with cat like curiosity before suddenly a lance as dark as the night shot out from the corner, while in flight the lance shot off smaller projectiles, small needles of darkness that all struck the necks of the 15 soldiers inside the room, piecing their throats sending them swiftly off to the wheel of reincarnation while as they choked on their own blood and collapsed on the floor and then were quickly absorbed by a sticky shadow that covered the floor of the small room
”nicely done Victoria”
Mars emerged from the corner of the room as he praised his partner Victoria, then Yel also walked out of the darkness and looked around at the bodies that were slowly sinking into the sticky shadow with amazement clear on her face, then Victoria walked over and rubbed her leg with her whiskers while purring, Yel gave a smile and kneeled down to pet Victoria on the head while she praised
”very well done Victoria”
”thank... you Yel”
the other girls also emerged from the shadowy corner one, Varvei carrying a long spear, Elsa wielding twin daggers and Chloe and Mary each wielding their own long sword, Mars returned from checking the outside and called out to them
”let's move”
”yes master”
