Chapter 105 - 103

I've being wondering too just how did they intend to get us out of this situation, they are outnumbered, tired, surrounded and trapped inside the walls that once protected them, weakening by the day and praying for the rain to fall, otherwise not even water we would have had.

But in this case there is a simpler solution than trying to face an army outside the walls while having a tired guard at your end.

And that is… us.

At that point I do not even bother changing forms anymore, exposed as I already have been, and something tells me that humans screaming at me will be the least of our problems right now, so while jumping over roofs I ignore all the rest and reach one of the exits gates.

And I can say that the preparation made for me is quite… vexing, and I'm not talking about the four swords that now hanged around my monstrous waist, no, these were quite the addition, what is bothersome is that, pointless as it is to make me wear armor, they instead made a saddle for their captain to sit on!

Can you believe that? The fact that he has sat on my back many times before is bothersome as is, but the fact that the saddle is made at the image of the ones used by horses only worsens it! Is a spit on my face oi!

"…For how long are you going to soak Abomination?"

I puff a sneer in return, smoke coming out of my nostrils as, not only there is the saddle, but two chains locked on the horns on my back to help the Captain to balance himself.

Isn't it such saddles and bridles at this point?

Also I did not forget you still own me some explanations captain! About that rune you found, and about my origins, you were just too busy wanting to fuck to explain now weren't you?! Are you on heat or something?! Well, if he was I don't think I would have been freed so soon…

Argh, why does this strong form of my has such stiff throat muscles that can only growl and howl? I want to talk you know, took me long enough to learn only to regress to beast mode now!

"No need to be this gloomy, we need you focused now Seiji. We can talk about what is bothering you later, ok? And maybe we can involve some reward in that too…" Asher says, lowering his voice at the last part, trying to tempt me into collaboration, but that makes me narrow my eyes and stare back at him, last night memories being very vivid in my mind.

…Reward you say? Seems like someone is getting the wrong idea here, perhaps I need to show that he can't get that used on topping me, after all it has been an exception given to him in a fragile moment.

…But yes, a reward may be in motion, but perhaps not exactly in the way he is expecting it to be this time around…

I grin, my sharp teeth making me look rather scary, but Asher seems satisfied with my reaction as he lowers the helmet down and gets ready for battle with his protective gear and crystal infused weapons.

That's when the main gates finally open up.

And yet, as much excitement as I feel, we are not the first ones to rush out and face danger at all, and actually, for a few moments, none step out, the empty indoors inviting the enemies in with the pulled down bridge, making the ghouls attentive and eager to dash out, and some do approach, messing up their line of defense a little, but they are not as stupid as to walk in the lion's den and into the weapons reach.

So that's why the lions have to rush out to meet them.

The soldiers, carrying heavy artillery, drive trunks, jeeps, and their motorcycles towards the line of enemies, their heavy motors attracting the attention of any out lookers, human or not, especially when they finally reach close enough to use their weapons, the crystals firing up to life and shinning against the dark night, flashing as their blast would fly towards their targets, soon covering the once quiet night with shouts and explosions from the battlefield.

Well, at least that is all I get from listening from afar away and seeing their flashes illuminate the night, because me and Asher are actually not present with them for we have a rather different mission to complete.

Because we are a hunting party, and our prey is only one creature out there.

So while the sky is ablaze on the other side, bringing all the attention towards there as well as the ghouls reinforcement while they prepare to counter the soldiers attempting to break thought their front lines, me and Asher use the cover of the night to move about, my scales turning into a dull black, and even if my big figure is difficult to hide we were well prepared before hand and, as I have said before, the ghouls were plenty, but not enough to circle the entire city hand to hand, so instead of even trying to completely cover every inch of wall the Snake monster actually reinforced the lines were the humans were more inclined on trying to fight out, which meant the gates and any opening on the building up walls.

What they could not prevent in all of this is however is if a very small force try to pass over those cracks, just like we are doing right now.

And she would not expect it even more because, having his small team outside, Asher managed to make a reckoning of the enemy's troops from behind their back.

And because of that long hard work from Warrior Queen and her team, we know exactly where to head to among the forest to collect our prize.
