Chapter 485 - The fake surrender (2/2)
”And the second condition?” Martha asked.
”For the punishment against the Dark guild members to be a light one. We don't wish for death. We understand we are enemies, but if we were to be sentenced to death, then we might as well fight with our lives on the line here.”
The three of them looked at each other and started to whisper until they eventually came to a conclusion.
”What you have suggested sounds fair,” Kyle said. ”But when you return to the castle, you have one hour to drop your weapons and come out showing you are unharmed. Otherwise, we will storm the gates and there will be a fight. Whether you're armed or not.”
”Excellent,” Monk said.
With that, the supposed surrender was in play. The three of them were able to return to the Redwings, and they had explained the conditions and request. A short time after, they could see that the gates of the fortress were being opened, and the men and women were really retreating back inside of the castle.
”This seems a little unreal,” Katy said, the nerves in her body were starting to leave her, seeing the army retreat. ”After preparing for so long, our battle, it ends like this. '
”I would be careful,” Kyle said. ”I still think it's a trap. It shouldn't be this easy.”
Bliss couldn't agree more, as she had a sick feeling something was about to happen.
”You hold onto that crystal tightly young boy,” Lenny said to Van.
The gates were being slowly pulled open and then just when it was barely open. Suddenly, a loud bang was made, and the men fell on their backsides. A large dent had been made in the black material wall.
”This is not good, that wall is as hard as galthreium itself,” Bliss said.
It was different in colour, but that was to make the castle walls and fortress gate immune to fire. It was still just as strong.
”Is it a beast?”
The Dark guild members who were trying to open the gate form the outside just seconds ago, even they were in a panic as they started running around getting out of the way.
A few more bangs against the door were made, and the dent only got larger and larger.
”Prepare your weapons!” Sir K shouted. It seemed like the short relief they had would only last a few seconds.
Finally, one loud bang was made, and the doors were burst apart and had been sent flying as something large and bulky had slammed through them. The gates had been struck with such force that the men standing behind the doors were sent tumbling all the way down the slope that a few of them had even crashed into where the Redwing army was standing.
It was Dark out, and it was hard for them to make out what the figure was, but as the Dark guild members got close. Their torches revealed the scales on its body. The large tail and spikes running down it's back and its large wings on its back.
With a couple of flaps, those that were still close to the thing fell over, and the torches lights were put out by the wind. The creature flew up and rose into the sky. Its large serpent body could be seen as the moonlight shone against it's back.
”A Dragon!” Jack shouted.
”How…..” Bliss said in shock. ”How can this be…”
Swooping down from the sky, not discriminating between the Dark guild members or Redwing members, the Dragon was ready to kill any living human it could see.
