“I used to be blaming myself for not being good enough. I heard from my grandfather that my deceased father was an irresponsible man. My father lied me; he once told me that he is a great swordsman during his era but it all were story when I saw him chicken out when facing a bunch of enemies. To save him, I cannot believe that he sold my younger brother. My deceased father also like gambling, gambling until whole family broke. He finally runs away when people came and collect debts. I and my grandfather have to working with those people to help him clear his debt out. But, no longer. My grandfather passed away due his age and heart problem. Before his last breath, I cried and said that I cannot live alone without any relative, and I cannot do all of this to clear my father’s debt. I still remember my grandfather’s smile before passed away, he told me ‘If you think impossible, then it will be impossible; if you think it is possible then it will be possible.’ I always remember what my grandfather said before he died. This is how I survive and get out from the debt.
No longer, I learnt that my father was killed in a street and his body sent to sanatorium. Reason? He starts a fight with other people, all because of money. I have no choice but went to sanatorium to claim his dead body and give him a proper burial. He stills my father after all no matter what he done to the family. Later, there’s a bunch people said that they are from Brylto Monarchy. They asked and trying to recruit me as a soldier and I agreed. My fate turns better once I joined them. I was given foods, clothes and place to stay. What I have to do is; practice my sword-play and be a responsibility soldier.”
Present at barrack,
“…”
“….”
“Hmm… where am I? Ouch... ” Kincaid appear wake up from the wound.
“You should rest more, sir. You are losing too much blood. You are safe now. We just came in time for the rescue.” Camille said.
“Heh, I was thinking that I am about die. But thanks to you guys.”
“You are tough one, sir. You can beat them all by yourself.” Camille still dumbfounded that Kincaid can facing three elite enemies in a time.
“Nope, I am not tough. I am just blessed by a dearest when I was a child. By the way, how’s the situation now? I heard there are other enemy elites around here.” Kincaid still want to wake up and help the other partition to beat enemy elites.
“What you have to do now, just rest. If you insist to helping them; you may slow them down and I can’t guarantee you can be saved this time. Don’t worry, sir. Darriyo got elites; our kingdom got our own elites as well.” Camille forces Kincaid not to move and asked him back to his bed and taking rest. Kincaid agreed what Camille said and he won’t disrupt their battle.
Meanwhile, Captain Siegfried and his men still struggle fight against the Beta group, so as Lieutenant Ethan fight against Daniel and his Gamma group. It seems it is quite tough to Captain Siegfried and his men but they remain stable and face them. It is almost hopeless to win them. Finally, William got an inspiration after he got injured caused by a sword; his thought is the sword is indeed made from metal and it can create a spark of light if friction with other metal. Without hesitate, William swing his sword at wall and keep making sparks. After the others witness William’s action, they follow his action as well.
“Ouch, we can’t just keep hit by them. We have to do something.” William’s thought.
Suddenly, William saw a spark of light that caused by his comrade. This spark of light was made incidentally while they are trying to hit enemy but miss the target and mistake hit on wall.
“Wait, our swords are made by metal. It is sure will make some spark if it is chafing with other objects such as stone wall. I have to try it out.” William’s thought again and chafing his sword on the wall and it is indeed creating some spark.
*crank, crank* William getting excited and keep hitting his sword on the wall.
“Oi! Are you nuts or what, you are hitting a wall, not on enemies” Marko shouted but William ignored him because he know he is doing a right thing.
“Wait, Marko. I think he is doing right. Okay, I understand now! Okay people, I take this benefit to beat them. I am sure they will lose since we are outnumbered.” Captain Siegfried understands William’s action and takes the advantage to take Beta group down.
With William’s help, Captain Siegfried able to take the Beta group down. Captain Siegfried captures them and order Marko and another two private take them to underground penitentiary. Still, some of them are injured badly and taken to medical treatment. William praised by Captain Siegfried for his brilliant move. Captain Siegfried never thought that he got a crew member such as William could think a better way to saved all of them. Marko is surprised but he got nothing to say since William also saved his life. William got nothing to say but disclaimed that wasn’t his honor but this honor belongs to Kincaid to teach him three months ago.
“Phew, it is taken lots of time to take them down. Finally….” One of the Captain Siegfried said.
“Don’t getting exciting yet, boy. We still have some works to do. Now, Marko, Silvia and Alec, imprison our three important guests. Later, we have to ask them some questions.” Captain Siegfried ordered Marko and another two of his men to imprison Beta group.
“… Thank you…” Marko appreciate for William’s help.
“For those who just merely scratch, follow me to the patrol around here. I am sure there will be more enemies group beside this one. I need two medic take care of for those who injured.” Captain Siegfried gave another order to his men again.
“Good job, William. I never thought a lad like you can save us all.” Captain Siegfried also starting to like William.
“The honor not for me sir, but for a man who has taught me three months ago.” William disclaimed to get the honor and instead for Kincaid.
“Looking down on yourself, huh? No wonder Lieutenant Edge want to befriend with you guys. Good, keep it up, Will.”
Meanwhile, Kincaid insists to helping them after he heard that enemies’ focal force assault on king room. For a reason is, Queen Erin, wife of King Brylto was his upbringing friend. Kincaid willing to do everything for his friends even though have to sacrifice his life. While Camille is hectic to helping other people, Kincaid get up and flight from his bed. When Camille realize, it was too late.
“Hey, I heard that their target on our king.” One of the wounded soldiers is talking with others. Kincaid heard it coincidentally.
“Hmm, yeah. I also heard that that was their main force to assault main force. Well, our job’s done here. Hopefully, Lieutenant Edge can against them.” Another wounded soldier said.
“Even Lieutenant Edge is strong but don’t forget that his force already wounded from last battle, even their captain, Captain Joshua also still lay on the bed.” Another wounded soldier continues the conversation and panicking Kincaid.
“I have to do something. Erin still with the king.” Kincaid concerned about his youth friend. He forces himself to get up, grabbed his sword and shift to king room.
“Sir? Excuse me; do you know where is the person here going?” Camille back from treating other patients and realized Kincaid weren’t here and asking other wounded soldiers.
“Sorry, I had no idea. I saw him grab his sword then went out.” A wounded soldier replied.
“This guy, I already told him better not to move…. Oh well, I can’t manipulate his life as well.” Camille gave up on Kincaid and letting Kincaid doing by his own.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Ethan still skirmishing with Daniel and his men are fight against Daniel’s men. For a long fight, Lieutenant Ethan still alive for keep fighting Daniel and Daniel intimidated. There is no wonder why Lieutenant Ethan got a renowned “Lieutenant Edge” as his title. Broil, Grace, Nana and Virile still have their durable time for that fight. In fact, they already wounded from the last battle.
“Impressive, I normally take a few seconds to take my opponent down.” Daniel impressed that Lieutenant Ethan still alive for fighting him.
“Enough talk! Invader, be surrender now or I will be beat you!” Lieutenant Edge said.
“Surrender or you will beat me. Wow, you can talk big. But I preferred we continue the fight. Take this, hah!” Daniel is felt confidentially that he can win and he never mislays or yield to his adversary.
A few seconds later, Nana and Virile were injured by enemies. They cannot catch up their moves and ended up slashed by them. Grace and Broil still harassed. When one of enemies advance and try to slay Virile from behind. A man who wearing weighty chain mail with a colossal axe appears, he slices the enemy into two and saved Virile’s life. The man appeared as the King Kirby Brylto himself. Queen Erin is there as well. Queen Erin is an extraordinary healer that doesn’t need any medical tool box. In other words, Queen Erin is a magician who has healing power as her magic ability. She approaches to Nana and Virile and treating their lesion.
“They are good!” Nana complaints.
“Ahh… they got me!” Virile shouted that she got hit by an enemy.
“Ahh… they got me too.” Nana was the next.
“Now I got you!” An enemy takes the advantage and tries to take Virile down.
*Slice*
“Who has given an order that ladies can join in the battlefield as well?” A man with massive armor and gigantic axe appears and start his words.
“Err… milord. I am a lady as well. Heh, heh…” Erin says.
“Lord… Lord Brylto?! I am sorry; I am the one who should save you.” Virile panic and claimed that she should give up her life to save the king.
“Since when I had make a rules that everyone can die for me? Come on, I already bored with these rules. You see, I can battle as well.” Lord Brylto said.
“You guys still do not know much about your lord. He is a combatant; he always swings his axe to practice and complaints that he wishes that he could join in a battle.” Queen Erin continues the king’s word while treating Virile’s wounds.
“And this will be the best moment to test my skill out. You guys just stand back. Let me handle two of them. This is an order, directly from me!” Lord Brylto continues.
“But, Lord. This is our duty….” Nana insists to help Lord Brylto.
“What did you say?” Lord Brylto then stares at her.
“Eh, nothing milord. Your command is our honor. He, he…” Nana terrified and keep quiet.
“Gah, you must be the stupidest king I have seen; came out and meet your fate. Now die!”
“The stupidest king?!” Lord Brylto then gets aggravated but his skill is overcome enemies’ attack.
Back to the scene where Lieutenant Ethan fight with Daniel. One of the Gamma group members flee and asking for help from Daniel. Lord Brylto already slays another member of them.
“Captain! Help! Their king is insane!” Last Gamma group member asking for help from Daniel.
“Too slow! Take this, Brylto Tomahawkkkkk!” Lord Brylto throws his massive axe and ends the last Gamma group member’s life. Both of Lieutenant Ethan and Daniel shocked; they do not know that Lord Brylto can fight actually.
“Hey, is he really your king?” Daniel forgot his position and asks Lieutenant Ethan.
“Beats me. I also do not know our lord can battle.” Lieutenant Ethan also forgot his position as well.
“Oi, aren’t you guys suppose to be fighting?” Lord Brylto stares at them. Daniel and Lieutenant Ethan then back to their poses.
“Hey, since when we are friends? We are supposed to be still fighting.” Daniel said.
“Hell yeah! Milord, I dare to ask you stand back. This guy is Darriyo Captain; his skill can beat around 10 people in a slash.” Lieutenant Ethan tells Lord Brylto to stay back and said that Daniel is a dangerous person.
“If you insist to ask me go away. I will put a punishment on you. Lieutenant Edge.” Lord Brylto then picks up his axe and team up with Lieutenant Ethan. Lord Brylto actually already knows his skill; this is why he rather team up with Lieutenant Ethan, Lord Brylto also knew his skill can match the Gamma enemies earlier; this is the another reason why he dare to face them all by himself.
“Okay then. But be careful, milord.”
As usual, Lieutenant Ethan keeps fighting Daniel but Daniel always able evades his attack; same goes to Daniel’s attack on Lieutenant Ethan. But Daniel mostly tries to massacre Lord Brylto, but fail. All thanks to Lord Brylto’s massive axe. Lord Brylto then realized that Daniel’s technique is aspiring his head so Lord Brylto tries hard to protect himself. Lord Brylto dares to ask Daniel to be his sword meanwhile Lord Brylto himself to be Lieutenant Ethan’s shield. Lieutenant Ethan seems wants to rebuff but he agreed at last since this is an order from Lord Brylto himself.
No longer, Kincaid and reinforcement arrived. Daniel has to stop their battle and flees since he knows he will lose soon and he knows Brylto armies are outnumbered. From there, both of them can hear Queen Erin shouted her close friend’s name, Kincaid. At this moment, Daniel look at Kincaid and recognized that Kincaid used to be gave him some gold during at the market. Same goes to Kincaid; Kincaid cannot believe that a nice guy like Daniel will be an enemy spy.
“Kincaid! You should not move around, your wounds are serious! At least let me treat them first!” Queen Erin is worries to her friend and makes an instantaneous medical treatment to Kincaid.
“Heh! I was worries about you too when I heard their objective is Lord Brylto. So I came without think twice.” Kincaid explained.
“As stubborn and friendship as always, huh. Oh well, you are lucky because the reinforcement is joining as well.” Queen Erin continues.
“Halt! Terrorist! You are surrounded. Surrender now!”
“Hmph! It seems I was miscalculate that King Brylto can fight.” Daniel then throws a smoke barrage and flees.
“That guy! I met him before. He is the one who gave me money during I was at the market.” Daniel’s thought after he has noticed Kincaid was there.
“Well, at least all of us are safe now! Haha! I enjoy it so much!” Lord Brylto is enjoying the battle. Everyone at there stunned and never thought that their lord actually is a battle king.
“Milord, sorry for being late!” A sergeant begs apologizes for being late for the reinforcement.
“I was wishing that you guys arrived lately so I can enjoy the fight longer.” Lord Brylto said.
“Why? You guys surprised that I am actually a battle king? He! He!” Lord Brylto continues his conversation after he saw his people stunned.
“Anyway, my secret has been revealed. Oh well, perhaps I can join to the battlefield next time. He! He!” Lord Brylto implied that he want to join the force.
“Mi…milord! Please consider your position…”
“What did you say?” Lord Brylto stares at the sergeant.
“Nothing… milord…. I mean, sure you can join…”
“Good, good. By the way, two more days will be my beloved Queen’s centenary. I want all of you attends this coming centenary. No excuse!” Lord Brylto then continues that there will be a celebration held at coming two days.

Chapter 2
Ten years in the past, there was a child who lived with his parents. His father was a knight for Moesha Kingdom so his father always out for duty. The child and his mother lived in a small cottage for waiting the return of father and always pray for father will come back in one piece.
The child’s father, Coral Grahams has a best friend named Steward Shepherds. They always hang out together and fight alongside. One day, an unexpected accident happened. This happened when Coral and Steward fought on the battlefield. Both of them were captured and tortured to tell their base. Coral was a bold and trustworthy knight. He won’t tell the information to his enemies but Steward lost his mind, scared being tortured and told everything. Then, Coral scold Steward for the stupidity. Their enemies getting excited after saw the circumstances and ask them to killing each other. Finally, Steward has slaughtered his own best friend, Coral. Steward also cut his head down bring to Moesha and pretended that he lost his friend and he want to quit as a soldier. Who knows, the moment he killed his friend was observed by a farmer who related with Coral’s wife.
“You better tell me everything what you had known about your empire, brave one. If you want to stay alive.” Roushen officer warn to Coral and Steward.
“I rather die, you swine!” Coral is brave enough to against them.
“Oh, you sure? Perhaps this one can help you to tell us. Philips, Alex, I know you guys like practicing your fist. Now, it’s your chance. Since both of them are hanged, they are your sandbags now.” The officer tells his men to torture both Coral and Steward.
“I can’t believe general finally grant us a… no.. it’s two flesh sandbags. Hehehehe”
“Argh! Ow! Ouch!”
“Okay! Okay! I tell you but you must promise that you will keep us alive.” Steward finally cannot endure the agony anymore and decides to be disloyal to his own country.
“Steward?! We are soldiers, remember? We are ready to sacrifice to our country. How could you?” Coral said.
“But we will die if this continues; you also have your family, right? I believe Lisa and Daniel are waiting for you as well” Steward scared enough to be a dead man.
“Even so, a family… no, a thousand of families can’t survive if we lost our country.” Coral still remain calm.
“How about like this, we give you guys’ swords. You guys fight each other until dead. Oh, you must cut the opponent’s head off by the way. Don’t try to trick us; we can kill both of you with our numbers.” The officer getting excited and gave them swords.
“If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won’t fight and never forget that I, Coral will have you as my friend. That was my big mistake in my life.” Coral give up his life.
“I… I’m sorry!”
*Zupp* Coral’s head was off.
“Now you must keep your promise, you must let me go.” Steward still beg to spare his life.
“Of course, this is the joy of soldier. Go now, chicken. Bring your friend’s head to meet your king. By the way, don’t forget to resign as a soldier if you don’t want to get killed. We already recognized your shit face. Muahahaha!”
Farmer: ….
A pass by farmer has already caught their awareness and this farmer is friend of Coral’s wife. Roushen armies were planning to eradicate the farmer as well since the farmer has already heard their banter and will report to Moesha Kingdom. Luckily, the farmer pretends to be hearing-impaired and speaking-impaired. Roushen army then disregard about him and raid all of the wheat that farmer gathered.
“Well, well. It seems someone has already heard our conversation. So, shall we take him out before he reports this news to their king? Say, what’s your last wish before met the Death?” One of the Roushen army made his speech and approach to the farmer and get ready to get rid of the farmer.
“Uh… oh…. Uh….” The farmer use his hand language to shows him that he is unable to listen and talking.
“Oh, just a deaf. Pity him. Okay, people! Grab everything that farmer had! Let’s teach him that should not watch our scene!”
“Sounds fun, boss!”
The whole thing that farmer got was vanished; only his life was lingering but he doesn’t care as long as he alive. All thanks to his intellectual. The farmer then going back and report to the king. Moesha King later commands his men to imprisoned Steward and executed him to let other soldiers know that a defector will be paid for what have they done, just like Steward. This news later heard by Coral’s wife, reported by the farmer himself. Poor to Coral’s wife, she cannot take the fact of her husband’s death. She collapses after heard the news. Her child takes care of her and she gets supported from the farmer and others.
No longer, Roushen army reaches Moesha Kingdom and gets rid of everyone. The main motive is another traitor was appeared and no one will expect that General of Moesha Kingdom was one of them. The farmer was killed for buying some times to Coral’s wife and her child and other survivors to flee. Sooner, Coral’s wife and her child flee to a canyon. The Roushen patrol still follows them. Coral’s wife found a small hole at canyon nearby, it’s perhaps a hole of mole and its fit for her child’s body. Her child was told to hide inside there and told to not going out. Coral’s wife then tells her last will, she told her child that she is glad that has met Coral and born the child. She fall her last tear and tells her child, Daniel Grahams must be a useful man, just like his decease father. Little Daniel can’t do anything. He just watched his mother and other villagers get slaughtered by the enemies. He promised himself cannot cry, he will remember her mother’s last words before died.
Soon, Moesha Kingdom has fallen and taken by Raushen. Moesha King was killed and hangs on the top of citadel and shows that Raushen has won. Daniel going out after the situation being silence. He witnesses his mother and others get killed. He saw their dead bodies around him. Daniel gets shocked but he still gave them a proper burial. Daniel grabbed a knife from a dead body and hunt down any wild animal; in the order to continue stay alive. He doesn’t like to drink dirt and killing people but he have to. The people that he killed are either Raushen civilian or people that being rude on him. For him, he doesn’t care about some Raushen civilian are guiltless and he wanting people respecting for him. This is why he killing. He killed five Raushen civilian in a week. When Daniel grown up, he went to coliseum and take down all of participants. Every participant’s head are cut down by him. Daniel laughs, just like a devil that gains his victor and shouted “I am invincible!” Since the day his mother death, Daniel have changed; from a kind people into a killing machine. Somehow, we also can see that his eye is shining, like a stray cat.
At present,
“…”
“…..”
Daniel wakes up from the dream. He cannot sleep well and go to training room and practice his fist technique that learnt from a Chinese martial art. He keep convinces him that only strong people can rules the world. He also waits for a chance to eliminate Raushen once he defeated Brylto Monarchy.
At the next afternoon, Daniel chooses some of his finest soldiers to follow him and act as townsfolk when they get in the town successfully. They just dresses up like commoner and just take small weapons such as knife. They hide in a tavern and prepare for their midnight action. Daniel tells his men to get prepare themselves meanwhile he going out to find some foods for them. With coincidence, Daniel saw an old woman faint. He immediately toss away his foods and go to help that old woman. Many people saw this situation and applause to his action. Kincaid was one of them though. When Daniel return and collect his foods, his foods were gone; probably stolen by a shoplifter. At this moment, Kincaid approach to him and give him some funds even he doesn’t know about Daniel is an enemy. Actually, Daniel has a lot of money but he still accepts Kincaid’s funds in the order to cover his identity. This will be Daniel’s first time to being treated pleasant after his mother death. Even so, Daniel still have to continue his duty to take Brylto Monarchy down and get rewards from Darriyo to eliminate Raushen as his planned.
At midnight, Daniel and his men start their action. They act as dealer, sending the animals that they hunted and slipped in the castle successfully. The palace guard didn’t aware that they are enemies and letting them enter.
“Halt! Who are you guys? Where’s your pass?” The palace guard asked Daniel. Daniel and his men seems confidence since they already planned from the beginning.
“Sir, we are dealer from East Hellion. We just ordered by our lord to deliver the goods to your country. Here’s our pass, sir.” Daniel explained that they are from East Hellion and show their pass to the palace guard. The pass indeed from East Hellion, Lord Darriyo requested to help Daniel get a pass from East Hellion and Lord Darriyo fulfilled his request and get the pass, in the order to beat Brylto Monarchy.
“This is indeed East Hellion pass. Okay, you guys can enter. By the way, please be cautious for Darriyo attack, they might be here anytime.”
“Understood, sir.” *Smirk* Daniel pretends and get in the palace with his smile.
Daniel and his men reached palace underground, putting down the animal skins and Daniel start given task to his men. Since there are ten people of them, Daniel divides to three groups which is Alpha, Beta and Gamma. He order three of them launch a surprise attack on barrack; another three of them launch an attack on weaponry and another three of them follow Daniel to the king room and execute King Brylto.
“Okay, people. I need three of you launch a surprise attack on barrack. You will see many soldiers were there. I want you guys slit their throats without aware your existence. Also, try to grab some weapon from there to your own good. You can go now if you don’t have any problem.” Daniel arranges the Alpha group and assigned their task.
“For Beta group, I want you guys go to weaponry and grab their weapons. Your task is simple; their weaponry was at soldiers’ rooms nearby so I want you guys executed them while they are still asleep. Remember, to make sure they are dead, stab on their necks or slit their throats. Also, I want you guys make their place clean and clear. Got it? Now move out!” Daniel assigned tasks for Beta group. It seems Daniel is a cruel man, he ordered Alpha and Beta group to slit their opponents’ throats with sneak attack.
“The rest follow me to king room and execute King Brylto. It will be a difficult task ever. There are many palace guards to secure the room. I want you guys sneak attacks on them so they are unable to alert the other soldiers meanwhile I will be the one who enter the king room and execute the king. As usual, make sure you guys put them in an ‘eternal sleep’” Daniel then gives a task to themselves as Gamma group.
Daniel and his men moving out to their task to take down Brylto Monarchy as planned well. Meanwhile, Kincaid practice his sword as usual at backyard. Since their barrack at backyard nearby. Kincaid saw a few people and that will be Alpha group pass by. For Kincaid’s knowledge, dealer only allow enter to underground to put down the supplies so Kincaid hide and watch what has exact happen. Kincaid saw them slaughtered his comrades with slit their throats and Kincaid sneak to the bell and alert everyone.
*Ring!*
“What?! Enemy attack?! Prepare yourself, it’s gonna a battle!” All of Brylto armies have been waked up by the signal bell.
“What? How? We did it right, there is no way we can alert them.” One of Alpha group member surprised while they are facing with the woke up soldiers at the barrack. Of course, they still no match to Alpha group since the Alpha group is elite force selected by Daniel. But, luckily, Kincaid join the battle as well.
“Perhaps you guys don’t check twice the area or because you guys are dumb.” Kincaid suddenly appear at the battlefield and provoke the Alpha group.
At the barrack, several Brylto armies are wound. Only left Kincaid and some of available soldiers. Kincaid realized that he is no match to them but he still have to hold on and waiting for the support. What Kincaid has to do now is keep parrying the Alpha group’s swordplay and try to catch up their skill even he have to facing three of them in one time. No longer, Kincaid’s left shoulder get slashed by one of them. Kincaid endure the injured and keep fighting and his stomach later gets stabbed. Even so, Kincaid still stands up and facing them. He promise himself that he want to be a great swordsman so he will not give up. The Alpha group is impressed by Kincaid’s will but they still have to kill Kincaid. Meanwhile, William is searching for Kincaid. After a few minutes later, William realized that Kincaid is a strong man so he put faith on Kincaid and he believes Kincaid won’t die easily. William later joins Captain Siegfried to the battlefield at weaponry. Captain Joshua doubts that enemies may go for the king so he ordered Lieutenant Ethan to take his men; Broil, Nana, Grace and Virile to King room and against the enemies. Meanwhile, Daniel also surprised that their move has been spotted but it doesn’t frighten him. Daniel and his men keep on their task to the king room.
Back to barrack, Kincaid still having a hard time to duel with Alpha group.
“Man, you are tough. I think you never give up ever. How loyalty. But very soon, we will put you in a sleep.” One of the Alpha group members said. It doesn’t scared Kincaid though. Kincaid finally caught their movement and learn a trick how to repel their attacks, all in one time. Kincaid also ask the other survivors at the barrack stay back and leave the Alpha group all by him.
“Are… are you nuts, sir? They are far stronger than us and you already injured. There… there are no way can beat them.” One of the survivors talks to Kincaid.
“Heh, I already catch their movement. Just believe me. I cannot merely give up our life. Plus, ‘if you think it is impossible, then it will be impossible; if you think it is possible then it will be possible’. This is what my grandfather told me so go now!” Kincaid talked serenely and ask them to do so.
“Trying to be a hero, eh? Now, eat this!”
Kincaid catch the blade of one of the swords, then he used ankle to block another sword. As Kincaid’s thought so he holds his sword reversely. With blocking two enemies’ attack, he forces himself to stab the last enemy with his sword and end his life. Even so, Kincaid already badly injured. He wants to eliminate another two but it seems he already exhaust. Another two Alpha members surprised that Kincaid can kill one of them. Without hesitate, they take the chance to take Kincaid out. By chance, the backup has arrived. Two Alpha members have no choice but retreat. They jump through the window and run away. Kincaid was faint after the encounter and took to bed for the medical treatment.
“How? We are elite members that selected by Sir Daniel. How you can kill our men?”
“Damn, I have loss a lots of blood…. Huh… huh…. ”Kincaid started get dizzy after took one down.
“Now, you are done! You will pay for this for what have you done for our friend!”
“Halt! You are surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender!” Brylto’s reinforcement just came in time and Kincaid was saved.
“Darn it! We will remember this. Next time we will kill you for sure, young warrior.” After the speech to Kincaid, both of them throw smoke barrage and run away.
“Finally….” Kincaid fainted for losing too many bloods.
“Heh, he must be a tough one. He can facing three of them and killed one of them by himself. Camille, take this young boy for medical treatment! I need five of you search for another survivors and the rest follow me to weaponry. There are still got enemies, I heard.”
“Aye, sarge!”
Meanwhile, Captain Siegfried and his men keep fighting with the Beta group at weaponry. Since weaponry there is such dark and hard to seen. Plus, Beta group have a proper training so they even can move well in the dark. This will be another hard battle to Captain Siegfried and his men. For William, this is a must fight battle; to gain more experience and vigor. He believes Kincaid’s word.
William used to be cannot hold a two-hand sword. Thanks to Kincaid, he managed to hold a two-hand sword.
Three months ago when William first join the force,
“Aww, it seems heavy. I… I cannot hold it with one hand….” William cries for he cannot hold a two-hand sword easily.
“Boy, it does not heavy though. Lemme tell you something; if you think it is impossible then it will be impossible; if you think it is possible then it will be possible. Now, close your eyes, imagine that the sword in front of you is a knife. Slowly get it with one hand” Kincaid approach to newcomer William and tell him his skill how to hold a two-hand sword and William follow his instruction.
“Close my eye… imagine… hold”
“Now! Pull it out!” William finally holds the two-hand sword with one hand in one time try. He is very glad that Kincaid taught him how to holds a heavy sword.
“You know, the sword isn’t heavy. The problem is from you. Everything you facing, you must try it hard, not to run away. It is a possible if you try hard!”
This is how William met Kincaid for the first time.
The child’s father, Coral Grahams has a best friend named Steward Shepherds. They always hang out together and fight alongside. One day, an unexpected accident happened. This happened when Coral and Steward fought on the battlefield. Both of them were captured and tortured to tell their base. Coral was a bold and trustworthy knight. He won’t tell the information to his enemies but Steward lost his mind, scared being tortured and told everything. Then, Coral scold Steward for the stupidity. Their enemies getting excited after saw the circumstances and ask them to killing each other. Finally, Steward has slaughtered his own best friend, Coral. Steward also cut his head down bring to Moesha and pretended that he lost his friend and he want to quit as a soldier. Who knows, the moment he killed his friend was observed by a farmer who related with Coral’s wife.
“You better tell me everything what you had known about your empire, brave one. If you want to stay alive.” Roushen officer warn to Coral and Steward.
“I rather die, you swine!” Coral is brave enough to against them.
“Oh, you sure? Perhaps this one can help you to tell us. Philips, Alex, I know you guys like practicing your fist. Now, it’s your chance. Since both of them are hanged, they are your sandbags now.” The officer tells his men to torture both Coral and Steward.
“I can’t believe general finally grant us a… no.. it’s two flesh sandbags. Hehehehe”
“Argh! Ow! Ouch!”
“Okay! Okay! I tell you but you must promise that you will keep us alive.” Steward finally cannot endure the agony anymore and decides to be disloyal to his own country.
“Steward?! We are soldiers, remember? We are ready to sacrifice to our country. How could you?” Coral said.
“But we will die if this continues; you also have your family, right? I believe Lisa and Daniel are waiting for you as well” Steward scared enough to be a dead man.
“Even so, a family… no, a thousand of families can’t survive if we lost our country.” Coral still remain calm.
“How about like this, we give you guys’ swords. You guys fight each other until dead. Oh, you must cut the opponent’s head off by the way. Don’t try to trick us; we can kill both of you with our numbers.” The officer getting excited and gave them swords.
“If you want to kill me, go ahead. I won’t fight and never forget that I, Coral will have you as my friend. That was my big mistake in my life.” Coral give up his life.
“I… I’m sorry!”
*Zupp* Coral’s head was off.
“Now you must keep your promise, you must let me go.” Steward still beg to spare his life.
“Of course, this is the joy of soldier. Go now, chicken. Bring your friend’s head to meet your king. By the way, don’t forget to resign as a soldier if you don’t want to get killed. We already recognized your shit face. Muahahaha!”
Farmer: ….
A pass by farmer has already caught their awareness and this farmer is friend of Coral’s wife. Roushen armies were planning to eradicate the farmer as well since the farmer has already heard their banter and will report to Moesha Kingdom. Luckily, the farmer pretends to be hearing-impaired and speaking-impaired. Roushen army then disregard about him and raid all of the wheat that farmer gathered.
“Well, well. It seems someone has already heard our conversation. So, shall we take him out before he reports this news to their king? Say, what’s your last wish before met the Death?” One of the Roushen army made his speech and approach to the farmer and get ready to get rid of the farmer.
“Uh… oh…. Uh….” The farmer use his hand language to shows him that he is unable to listen and talking.
“Oh, just a deaf. Pity him. Okay, people! Grab everything that farmer had! Let’s teach him that should not watch our scene!”
“Sounds fun, boss!”
The whole thing that farmer got was vanished; only his life was lingering but he doesn’t care as long as he alive. All thanks to his intellectual. The farmer then going back and report to the king. Moesha King later commands his men to imprisoned Steward and executed him to let other soldiers know that a defector will be paid for what have they done, just like Steward. This news later heard by Coral’s wife, reported by the farmer himself. Poor to Coral’s wife, she cannot take the fact of her husband’s death. She collapses after heard the news. Her child takes care of her and she gets supported from the farmer and others.
No longer, Roushen army reaches Moesha Kingdom and gets rid of everyone. The main motive is another traitor was appeared and no one will expect that General of Moesha Kingdom was one of them. The farmer was killed for buying some times to Coral’s wife and her child and other survivors to flee. Sooner, Coral’s wife and her child flee to a canyon. The Roushen patrol still follows them. Coral’s wife found a small hole at canyon nearby, it’s perhaps a hole of mole and its fit for her child’s body. Her child was told to hide inside there and told to not going out. Coral’s wife then tells her last will, she told her child that she is glad that has met Coral and born the child. She fall her last tear and tells her child, Daniel Grahams must be a useful man, just like his decease father. Little Daniel can’t do anything. He just watched his mother and other villagers get slaughtered by the enemies. He promised himself cannot cry, he will remember her mother’s last words before died.
Soon, Moesha Kingdom has fallen and taken by Raushen. Moesha King was killed and hangs on the top of citadel and shows that Raushen has won. Daniel going out after the situation being silence. He witnesses his mother and others get killed. He saw their dead bodies around him. Daniel gets shocked but he still gave them a proper burial. Daniel grabbed a knife from a dead body and hunt down any wild animal; in the order to continue stay alive. He doesn’t like to drink dirt and killing people but he have to. The people that he killed are either Raushen civilian or people that being rude on him. For him, he doesn’t care about some Raushen civilian are guiltless and he wanting people respecting for him. This is why he killing. He killed five Raushen civilian in a week. When Daniel grown up, he went to coliseum and take down all of participants. Every participant’s head are cut down by him. Daniel laughs, just like a devil that gains his victor and shouted “I am invincible!” Since the day his mother death, Daniel have changed; from a kind people into a killing machine. Somehow, we also can see that his eye is shining, like a stray cat.
At present,
“…”
“…..”
Daniel wakes up from the dream. He cannot sleep well and go to training room and practice his fist technique that learnt from a Chinese martial art. He keep convinces him that only strong people can rules the world. He also waits for a chance to eliminate Raushen once he defeated Brylto Monarchy.
At the next afternoon, Daniel chooses some of his finest soldiers to follow him and act as townsfolk when they get in the town successfully. They just dresses up like commoner and just take small weapons such as knife. They hide in a tavern and prepare for their midnight action. Daniel tells his men to get prepare themselves meanwhile he going out to find some foods for them. With coincidence, Daniel saw an old woman faint. He immediately toss away his foods and go to help that old woman. Many people saw this situation and applause to his action. Kincaid was one of them though. When Daniel return and collect his foods, his foods were gone; probably stolen by a shoplifter. At this moment, Kincaid approach to him and give him some funds even he doesn’t know about Daniel is an enemy. Actually, Daniel has a lot of money but he still accepts Kincaid’s funds in the order to cover his identity. This will be Daniel’s first time to being treated pleasant after his mother death. Even so, Daniel still have to continue his duty to take Brylto Monarchy down and get rewards from Darriyo to eliminate Raushen as his planned.
At midnight, Daniel and his men start their action. They act as dealer, sending the animals that they hunted and slipped in the castle successfully. The palace guard didn’t aware that they are enemies and letting them enter.
“Halt! Who are you guys? Where’s your pass?” The palace guard asked Daniel. Daniel and his men seems confidence since they already planned from the beginning.
“Sir, we are dealer from East Hellion. We just ordered by our lord to deliver the goods to your country. Here’s our pass, sir.” Daniel explained that they are from East Hellion and show their pass to the palace guard. The pass indeed from East Hellion, Lord Darriyo requested to help Daniel get a pass from East Hellion and Lord Darriyo fulfilled his request and get the pass, in the order to beat Brylto Monarchy.
“This is indeed East Hellion pass. Okay, you guys can enter. By the way, please be cautious for Darriyo attack, they might be here anytime.”
“Understood, sir.” *Smirk* Daniel pretends and get in the palace with his smile.
Daniel and his men reached palace underground, putting down the animal skins and Daniel start given task to his men. Since there are ten people of them, Daniel divides to three groups which is Alpha, Beta and Gamma. He order three of them launch a surprise attack on barrack; another three of them launch an attack on weaponry and another three of them follow Daniel to the king room and execute King Brylto.
“Okay, people. I need three of you launch a surprise attack on barrack. You will see many soldiers were there. I want you guys slit their throats without aware your existence. Also, try to grab some weapon from there to your own good. You can go now if you don’t have any problem.” Daniel arranges the Alpha group and assigned their task.
“For Beta group, I want you guys go to weaponry and grab their weapons. Your task is simple; their weaponry was at soldiers’ rooms nearby so I want you guys executed them while they are still asleep. Remember, to make sure they are dead, stab on their necks or slit their throats. Also, I want you guys make their place clean and clear. Got it? Now move out!” Daniel assigned tasks for Beta group. It seems Daniel is a cruel man, he ordered Alpha and Beta group to slit their opponents’ throats with sneak attack.
“The rest follow me to king room and execute King Brylto. It will be a difficult task ever. There are many palace guards to secure the room. I want you guys sneak attacks on them so they are unable to alert the other soldiers meanwhile I will be the one who enter the king room and execute the king. As usual, make sure you guys put them in an ‘eternal sleep’” Daniel then gives a task to themselves as Gamma group.
Daniel and his men moving out to their task to take down Brylto Monarchy as planned well. Meanwhile, Kincaid practice his sword as usual at backyard. Since their barrack at backyard nearby. Kincaid saw a few people and that will be Alpha group pass by. For Kincaid’s knowledge, dealer only allow enter to underground to put down the supplies so Kincaid hide and watch what has exact happen. Kincaid saw them slaughtered his comrades with slit their throats and Kincaid sneak to the bell and alert everyone.
*Ring!*
“What?! Enemy attack?! Prepare yourself, it’s gonna a battle!” All of Brylto armies have been waked up by the signal bell.
“What? How? We did it right, there is no way we can alert them.” One of Alpha group member surprised while they are facing with the woke up soldiers at the barrack. Of course, they still no match to Alpha group since the Alpha group is elite force selected by Daniel. But, luckily, Kincaid join the battle as well.
“Perhaps you guys don’t check twice the area or because you guys are dumb.” Kincaid suddenly appear at the battlefield and provoke the Alpha group.
At the barrack, several Brylto armies are wound. Only left Kincaid and some of available soldiers. Kincaid realized that he is no match to them but he still have to hold on and waiting for the support. What Kincaid has to do now is keep parrying the Alpha group’s swordplay and try to catch up their skill even he have to facing three of them in one time. No longer, Kincaid’s left shoulder get slashed by one of them. Kincaid endure the injured and keep fighting and his stomach later gets stabbed. Even so, Kincaid still stands up and facing them. He promise himself that he want to be a great swordsman so he will not give up. The Alpha group is impressed by Kincaid’s will but they still have to kill Kincaid. Meanwhile, William is searching for Kincaid. After a few minutes later, William realized that Kincaid is a strong man so he put faith on Kincaid and he believes Kincaid won’t die easily. William later joins Captain Siegfried to the battlefield at weaponry. Captain Joshua doubts that enemies may go for the king so he ordered Lieutenant Ethan to take his men; Broil, Nana, Grace and Virile to King room and against the enemies. Meanwhile, Daniel also surprised that their move has been spotted but it doesn’t frighten him. Daniel and his men keep on their task to the king room.
Back to barrack, Kincaid still having a hard time to duel with Alpha group.
“Man, you are tough. I think you never give up ever. How loyalty. But very soon, we will put you in a sleep.” One of the Alpha group members said. It doesn’t scared Kincaid though. Kincaid finally caught their movement and learn a trick how to repel their attacks, all in one time. Kincaid also ask the other survivors at the barrack stay back and leave the Alpha group all by him.
“Are… are you nuts, sir? They are far stronger than us and you already injured. There… there are no way can beat them.” One of the survivors talks to Kincaid.
“Heh, I already catch their movement. Just believe me. I cannot merely give up our life. Plus, ‘if you think it is impossible, then it will be impossible; if you think it is possible then it will be possible’. This is what my grandfather told me so go now!” Kincaid talked serenely and ask them to do so.
“Trying to be a hero, eh? Now, eat this!”
Kincaid catch the blade of one of the swords, then he used ankle to block another sword. As Kincaid’s thought so he holds his sword reversely. With blocking two enemies’ attack, he forces himself to stab the last enemy with his sword and end his life. Even so, Kincaid already badly injured. He wants to eliminate another two but it seems he already exhaust. Another two Alpha members surprised that Kincaid can kill one of them. Without hesitate, they take the chance to take Kincaid out. By chance, the backup has arrived. Two Alpha members have no choice but retreat. They jump through the window and run away. Kincaid was faint after the encounter and took to bed for the medical treatment.
“How? We are elite members that selected by Sir Daniel. How you can kill our men?”
“Damn, I have loss a lots of blood…. Huh… huh…. ”Kincaid started get dizzy after took one down.
“Now, you are done! You will pay for this for what have you done for our friend!”
“Halt! You are surrounded! Drop your weapons and surrender!” Brylto’s reinforcement just came in time and Kincaid was saved.
“Darn it! We will remember this. Next time we will kill you for sure, young warrior.” After the speech to Kincaid, both of them throw smoke barrage and run away.
“Finally….” Kincaid fainted for losing too many bloods.
“Heh, he must be a tough one. He can facing three of them and killed one of them by himself. Camille, take this young boy for medical treatment! I need five of you search for another survivors and the rest follow me to weaponry. There are still got enemies, I heard.”
“Aye, sarge!”
Meanwhile, Captain Siegfried and his men keep fighting with the Beta group at weaponry. Since weaponry there is such dark and hard to seen. Plus, Beta group have a proper training so they even can move well in the dark. This will be another hard battle to Captain Siegfried and his men. For William, this is a must fight battle; to gain more experience and vigor. He believes Kincaid’s word.
William used to be cannot hold a two-hand sword. Thanks to Kincaid, he managed to hold a two-hand sword.
Three months ago when William first join the force,
“Aww, it seems heavy. I… I cannot hold it with one hand….” William cries for he cannot hold a two-hand sword easily.
“Boy, it does not heavy though. Lemme tell you something; if you think it is impossible then it will be impossible; if you think it is possible then it will be possible. Now, close your eyes, imagine that the sword in front of you is a knife. Slowly get it with one hand” Kincaid approach to newcomer William and tell him his skill how to hold a two-hand sword and William follow his instruction.
“Close my eye… imagine… hold”
“Now! Pull it out!” William finally holds the two-hand sword with one hand in one time try. He is very glad that Kincaid taught him how to holds a heavy sword.
“You know, the sword isn’t heavy. The problem is from you. Everything you facing, you must try it hard, not to run away. It is a possible if you try hard!”
This is how William met Kincaid for the first time.
Chapter 1
Ten years ago, a knight named Kincaid Bladewolf who serves for Brylto Monarchy. He is a slothful man but yet solemn on shield his country; this is why his title linger as a widespread combatant. He has three best buddies whose included Queen Erin, wife of Lord Kirby Brylto but he and Queen Erin got estranged with other two after graduation of cram. To portray about Kincaid, he is a tall chap, had a chaotic locks and good-but-weak looking. He also is from the 7th Brigade Knight Squad, escorted by Captain Siegfried.
One hot summer day, Captain Siegfried received a command to backing-up the 6th Brigade Knight Squad, led by Captain Joshua on the front line fight against Darriyo army at Baisonfield. Captain Siegfried then structured one of his men, Private Marko to inform the others to get ready. During that time, Kincaid was taking a doze under a tree at the backyard of the barrack. His friend, William Broaden come approach, trying to jerk Kincaid from behind.
“Heeelllloooo, Kincaid, my besssssst friend! Are you sleeping?!” William swiftly jumped out and scares Kincaid on his rationale.
“Willy, you jerk! Am I looked like eating? Man!” Kincaid get irritated but yet not angry at all at William.
“Heh! Kincaid, you such a lazy man but yet serious on your duty.” William claims that Kincaid is sloth but he like his stance.
“Speaking of laziness, how about your skill? Still can judge against with mine? I can see you wasting your time on fooling around more than training, am I right?” Kincaid then said that William is parallel to him, an indolent man who likes to bamboozle around.
“Dah! Let’s test it out! I would like to see yours as well!” William then playing with Kincaid again, he hounding Kincaid and Kincaid is absconding.
Subsequently, Marko has arrived and observed that his comrades were playing each other and he get pissed off for their etiquette.
“Ahem! So this is what my comrades always did. ” Marko started talking with them and gets aggravated when seeing they are playing.
“Uh-oh, it’s Marko! I mean what bring you here, Mr. Captain’s-right-man?” Kincaid abhor Makoto who always being obedience to Captain Siegfried.
“I have nothing concern about you guys but you guys better get ready for battlefield. Captain Siegfried is waiting for us. Sigh, why you guys won’t get killed for the previous battle?” Marko tell them about Captain Siegfried is congress them and Marko banter them as well.
“Why you?!”
“Stop, Kincaid! Don’t waste your energy on that bastard. We better focus on our next battle. That bastard’s skill not as good as us and I’m sure HE is the one who will get killed.” William swayed Kincaid to concentrate on the battle more than Marko.
“… You’re right. Let’s go, Captain is waiting for us.”
At that moment, Kincaid and William sprint back to their barrack and wearing their knight breastplates and wielding their sword, then going to the field to meet with Captain Siegfried and other knights.
“I’m glad all of you’re here. A few minutes later, we will go to assist the 6th Squad at Baisonfield fight against with Darriyo army. Any comment?” Captain Siegfried gave a straightforward succinct and implying his men to get ready.
“Sir, I thought the 6th Squad was better than us. Why would his Majesty order us to back them up?” one of the men asked with curiosity.
“Even a hero will get in a trouble sometimes, and as your acknowledge, this is his Majesty’s order. As a soldier, we must follow the order of the leader and our lord. Don’t you agree, lad?” Captain Siegfried said.
“Err… my bad, sir.”
Meanwhile, the 6th Squad is having hard time to fight Darriyo army and started yelling for the tardy of corroboration. Even their in-charge, Captain Joshua also injured from the ambush attack, only the elite soldiers of squad such as Lieutenant Ethan, Sergeant Broil, Sergeant Nana, Corporal Grace and Private Virile.
“Man, why the reinforcement that damn slow? We almost annihilated! ” Ethan shriek about 7th Squad’s endorsement.
“Stop yelling, soldier and continue the fight. We still have to survive and you don’t want to die here, do you?” Captain Joshua is trying to induce Ethan.
“But there were only us left, sir!” Virile persist the tête-à-tête.
“This is why his Majesty ordered the 7th Squad to back us up. Just hang on, they will arrive soon.” Broil said.
“But they are outnumbering of us!” Virile continued.
Suddenly, an arrow looms and shoots on one of the Darriyo armies’ head. The arrow was come from 7th Squad’s sniper. Captain Siegfried and his men finally arrived and saved them. Captain Siegfried command Kincaid and William to take wounded Captain Joshua to nearby and taking care of his lesion with coincidence. Lieutenant Ethan and the rest of 6th Squad were relief that they finally arrived.
“One down, sir!”
“And the 6th Squad?” Captain Siegfried asked.
“They are only 6 people remaining, including wounded Captain Joshua, sir!”
“Jos… I mean Captain Joshua’s wound at which part?” Captain Siegfried seems anxious to his pal’s injured.
“Unfortunately, it’s on his upper body.”
“This isn’t sound good. You, the broadsword lad and the rapier lad advance to Captain Joshua’s position and taking him to safety place. It will be risking, but we will covering you guys. Good luck!” Captain Siegfried prearranged Kincaid and William to menace their life to save Captain Joshua with quirk.
“Don’t worry, folks. I and others will take care of you guys too, heh!” Marko captivating this chance to teasing them since Makoto abhor them. Both Kincaid and William stillness and doing their tasks.
Kincaid and William rush to Captain Joshua’s position with precautious. They taking the opponents around them and asking the rest of 6th Squad on Captain Siegfried’s behalf to taking care of themselves. For Kincaid, this is his ordeal. Kincaid always want to be gallant and straight-forward, against enemies by himself. For William, he always is his friend’s side. He always wants to protect his companion from jeopardy. This is why their partnership was strong.
“Rah! I always want to do this, come on. Let’s rock!” Kincaid getting keyed up for swordfight his enemies.
“Dude, don’t forget our task to protect Captain Joshua from harm.” William reminds Kincaid about their task, as a friend of him.
“Yeah, I know! Hey, the rest of 6th. You better to taking care of yourselves; we can’t guarantee your life!” Kincaid seems disregard his position and ordered the rest of 6th Squad on Captain Siegfried’s behalf.
“Oh god, you always that rough, my friend.”
“Who the hell he is? We are elite fighters. Besides, their other members are helping us.” Broil grumble about Kincaid’s manner.
“I don’t care about him, as long as they can save our captain.” Ethan grins but yet admire Kincaid’s attitude.
With their strong spirit, Kincaid and William managed to save Captain Joshua’s life. Captain Joshua tell them to join the others on the battleground since there will be a medic will look for his injury. Kincaid seems thrilled with Captain Joshua’s utterance and join the war with William.
Throughout the war, Corporal Grace Laychock from the 6th Squad gets in a nuisance. She was ganged by three enemies on one occasion. Her right hand was injured due the mishap and her comrades were on their own. When she was thinking that she will be gone, Kincaid suddenly emerge and save her life with jacket all harass from enemies with his broadsword. With William’s facilitate, he stabs the enemies from behind to take shelter of Kincaid and Grace.
“Crap, now I’m done for it.” Grace upset and be ready to get slay.
*Crank*
“Huh?” Grace traumatized when she saw Kincaid in front of her and sentry enemies’ attack.
“Heh, luckily my sword is big enough to take three attacks in once. Willy, now!” Kincaid secluded Grace and tell William to seize the enemies out.
“You got it!” William then takes three enemies out with his prompt fencing technique.
At length, the in control of Darriyo army asked their force to retreat since they are losing. Both 6th Squad and 7th Squad finally can take a break after the war; they sit on the ground and praise themselves for their victory. Lieutenant Ethan moves toward to Kincaid and William to gratitude them for saving their captain. Kincaid claimed about that was his duty to obey his captain’s command and he shall not be respected. Still, Lieutenant Ethan would like to be his and William’s friend.
“Hey, can we have a moment?” Ethan asks Kincaid.
“The name is Kincaid, not ‘hey’.”
“I beg my pardon, Kincaid. I’m not mean to disrespect.” Ethan apologizes to Kincaid for the insolence.
“Come on, I’m just kidding. Don’t be that formal. Who are you by the way?” Kincaid declared that he just fooling around and told Ethan to not to be ceremonial.
“Very well. My name is Ethan, Ethan Santos.” Ethan smirk again and he esteem Kincaid’s informal chic.
“Santos? What a weird name. You must be always being nice to everyone like Jesus Christ. Ha, no wonder you being formal to me just now.” Kincaid treat him as a friend of him and make fun of him devoid of knowing his pose.
“Ethan Santos? The name familiar to me. Are you one of the survivors of 6th Squad?” William seems heard of this name before and asking Ethan’s background.
“Yup, I’m from 6th Squad.”
“Yikes, I beg my pardon on my friend’s behalf. Thousand sorry, sir!” William just recognized that Ethan was the lieutenant of 6th Squad.
“Huh? What you apologizes for?” Kincaid seems don’t understand William.
“I don’t blame you for didn’t studied for our military history. This man is Ethan Santos, the well-known lieutenant in 6th Squad. He is ex-captain for 5th Squad and own ‘Lieutenant Edge’ as a title.” William tells Kincaid about Ethan.
“Huh? Lieutenant Edge? Cool.” Kincaid seems ignore William’s word.
“Can you be respect on him at least?” William concerned that a eminent person like Ethan will charge them.
“It seems you have studied for our military history very well. Ha! Ha! No worries, I will not blame you guys even though I’m a gentleman. Plus, I like you guys’ attitudes.” Ethan claim that he is not angry not Kincaid for insolence.
“See? He didn’t blame us on that. Relax, man. By the way, sir, what bring you here?” Kincaid said.
“I thought you already mentioned that not be formal? Oh well, I would like to send my gratefulness for saving captain’s life.” Ethan elucidate that he just want to mail his gratitude to Kincaid and William.
“How forgetful I am. Well, it’s our duty to follow captain’s order to save Captain Joshua, that’s all.” Kincaid then explain that was their obligation.
“If you don’t mind, I would like to be friend with you guys.” Ethan finally shows his main rationale.
“Sure, why not? It will be my honor, ha! Ha!” Kincaid accept Ethan as a friend promptly.
“Huh? I mean wow; I can’t believe that we can become friend with Lieutenant Edge.” William seems getting excited and implausible that he had a chance to become Ethan’s friend with Kincaid. Beside, Ethan is one of the men who are cherished by William.
“You know what, Kincaid. You just like young me; being hustle on yourself to against enemies on battlefield, even though you know there are lots of them and forgot your position and giving the order to other people. This is what I like. Ha! Ha!” Ethan explained the minutiae.
“Wow, he likes you, Kincaid. Perhaps you can be his apprentice. Ha! Ha! Just joking.” William envy Kincaid that admired by Ethan.
“I’m afraid that I can’t accept any apprentice. Hope you can understand. But, as a friend, I can teach you guys a tad of skills of mine.” Ethan does not accept Kincaid or William as his tyro for some raison d'être but he is ready to edify them, as a friend of them.
In the meantime, Captain Siegfried and Captain Joshua also having their dialogue at the corner. They saw Ethan, Kincaid and William had their amusing moment and enjoying the undergo of victory for whitewashed Darriyo army for now. Captain Siegfried and Captain Joshua are confidant and best rival as well. They had known since they are adolescent, they always depleted their time to sparing until they get the pose as skipper.
“Look at them; it seems the well-known Lieutenant Edge has become friend of lads of mine.” Captain Siegfried point at them and start the natter with Captain Joshua.
“It’s pretty rare that Ethan befriend with stumpy level soldier. I bet all because of your lads’ courage especially the blue messy hair lad of yours.” Captain Joshua explains.
“But, what bring him to admiring my lads’ manner? I mean those two just commoners of mine. I don’t understand.” Captain Siegfried felt inquisitive about it and asked.
“Hmm… I think it reminds him about young him. By the way, what’s their name?” Captain Joshua seems importance on them and request for their name.
“As I said, they’re just two commoners of mine.” Captain Siegfried implying that he doesn’t know Kincaid and William’s name.
“You don’t know either? Heh, it’s common that a leader pay no attention to his men.” Captain Joshua teasing Captain Siegfried for being a terrible chief.
“Tell me. How your squad can be ambushed and almost gets annihilated? As I know, your squad was better than mine.” Captain Siegfried out of the matter and asking for the state of affairs of 6th Squad.
“Well, after my team defeated the previous war. We’re planning to go back to palace and report it to his Majesty. But, we lack of cautious and being ambushed. Many men of mine were injured from previous war and now our squad left 6 people, including me.” Captain Joshua enlightens how his squadron gets eradication.
“I see. Then what’s your next plan? You have 5 men. Will your squad join other squad or remain your squad as natural?” Captain Siegfried wishes to know Captain Joshua’s next move.
“Hmm… I had no idea. I think we better leave it to General Sisquade to make the decision for my squad. By the way, I think it’s getting dark. Let’s head back before we get ambush again.” Captain Joshua has out of idea and thinking to let their general to make a verdict.
Captain Siegfried then settled with Captain Joshua to head back. Both 6th Squad and 7th Squad are heading home. On the way for home, Kincaid was gape at Corporal Grace that he saved earlier meanwhile William and Ethan argue about William’s fencing technique. In the interim, Lord Darriyo, sovereign of Darriyo Empire ordered one of his captains, Captain Daniel Grahams to make a next move on the town that Brylto Monarchy nearby. To shun knowing their identities, Captain Daniel and his force was told to pretending as common town folks.
One hot summer day, Captain Siegfried received a command to backing-up the 6th Brigade Knight Squad, led by Captain Joshua on the front line fight against Darriyo army at Baisonfield. Captain Siegfried then structured one of his men, Private Marko to inform the others to get ready. During that time, Kincaid was taking a doze under a tree at the backyard of the barrack. His friend, William Broaden come approach, trying to jerk Kincaid from behind.
“Heeelllloooo, Kincaid, my besssssst friend! Are you sleeping?!” William swiftly jumped out and scares Kincaid on his rationale.
“Willy, you jerk! Am I looked like eating? Man!” Kincaid get irritated but yet not angry at all at William.
“Heh! Kincaid, you such a lazy man but yet serious on your duty.” William claims that Kincaid is sloth but he like his stance.
“Speaking of laziness, how about your skill? Still can judge against with mine? I can see you wasting your time on fooling around more than training, am I right?” Kincaid then said that William is parallel to him, an indolent man who likes to bamboozle around.
“Dah! Let’s test it out! I would like to see yours as well!” William then playing with Kincaid again, he hounding Kincaid and Kincaid is absconding.
Subsequently, Marko has arrived and observed that his comrades were playing each other and he get pissed off for their etiquette.
“Ahem! So this is what my comrades always did. ” Marko started talking with them and gets aggravated when seeing they are playing.
“Uh-oh, it’s Marko! I mean what bring you here, Mr. Captain’s-right-man?” Kincaid abhor Makoto who always being obedience to Captain Siegfried.
“I have nothing concern about you guys but you guys better get ready for battlefield. Captain Siegfried is waiting for us. Sigh, why you guys won’t get killed for the previous battle?” Marko tell them about Captain Siegfried is congress them and Marko banter them as well.
“Why you?!”
“Stop, Kincaid! Don’t waste your energy on that bastard. We better focus on our next battle. That bastard’s skill not as good as us and I’m sure HE is the one who will get killed.” William swayed Kincaid to concentrate on the battle more than Marko.
“… You’re right. Let’s go, Captain is waiting for us.”
At that moment, Kincaid and William sprint back to their barrack and wearing their knight breastplates and wielding their sword, then going to the field to meet with Captain Siegfried and other knights.
“I’m glad all of you’re here. A few minutes later, we will go to assist the 6th Squad at Baisonfield fight against with Darriyo army. Any comment?” Captain Siegfried gave a straightforward succinct and implying his men to get ready.
“Sir, I thought the 6th Squad was better than us. Why would his Majesty order us to back them up?” one of the men asked with curiosity.
“Even a hero will get in a trouble sometimes, and as your acknowledge, this is his Majesty’s order. As a soldier, we must follow the order of the leader and our lord. Don’t you agree, lad?” Captain Siegfried said.
