Chapter 241 241 War Against The Knights 9

'If Avalon is stronger, Xethen wouldn't be able to capture a whole city from them, a city containing nothing but knights and women, and other kingdoms would know about the infected beasts and think Xethen have control over them when it's not true'

'Shit...we really need to stop this attack for the future of Avalon and the world'

'Can you sense the knights, are they fighting?' Ray asked Kaan.

'No one Is fighting, it seems the knights retreated to the city after defeating the beast' Kaan spoke.

'Then we better hurry, we need to make it back before Draco attacks'

"Finally, we are here, where are all the knights, I would crush them all at once" Ian shouted as he held his large ax.

Vincent didn't wait till he got to the gates, the ground jumped off the wolves and Vincent cast his spell and brought the rest of them.

"So master, what do you do first, is there a plan or we should just attack?" Ian asked smiling brightly.

"The knights are still alive, I didn't expect this much to be alive, how were they able to deal with the beasts" Draco mumbled as he walked forward.

"Ian once we are in you can do whatever you like, Vincent watch over him... Vaan, Aurora, and Edith we are going to retrieve the scroll we came for" Draco spoke.

"What about them" Vaan pointed to the group of soldiers that came with them.

Draco looked at the soldiers standing there waiting for his command, Xethen Empire gave Draco these guys so they would keep an eye and report back, none of them were strong in actual combat, Draco walked away without saying anything.

"You guys should stay out here, in case of reinforcement or that beast," Vincent said.

"What beast are you talking about?" Ian asked.

"We were attacked on our way here by a beast, though some men stood back to take care of the beast, I doubt they could handle it" Vincent spoke.

"A beast..." Draco mumbled as he walked towards the gate, he slipped his hands into his pocket and touched the black crystal.

'It's the demon I'm looking for, we need to kill him first, the men would already be dead'

'The demon is in the body of a beast, it's no one else but that kid, so he was able to heal his hands'

'I don't care just get rid of him'

'No worries, if it's that kid he would surely find him but before that, I should obtain the second scroll before killing him, your resurrection comes first'

"The wolves are going to fight with you so do all you can to kill the beast, is that understood," Vaan said to the soldiers.

"Yes" they all answered weakly, they saw what the beast was capable of.

If it was able to kill the guys that went after it, then it was stronger than them, but they were in a group so they have a decent chance if they work together.

Draco, Ian, Vaan, Vincent, Aurora, and Edith headed toward the academy.

"We can't defeat that thing, it was able to use spells," one of the men said.

"You are right, but we have numbers on our side and we can focus on him, then we were on wolves but now we'll attack together"

"You are right, there's no way he can be able to take all of us at once even if he's a beast, we need to watch out for his spear, if we can take it away from him nothing else"

"He can still teleport, I don't know how he was able to teleport but we need to stop him from teleporting first, maybe we should trap him"

"That's right, we have to come up with a plan, while the knights attack him we mages should trap him with various spells, that way we can kill him easily" the men came together to plan.

"Enemy reinforcement...multiple enemies" a knight reported.

"How many?" ivy asked.

"Six of them are heading for the academy, the rest are standing, infected wolves are among them the group standing by, four males and two females are heading towards the gate"

"It must be them, I need to report this to Authur" ivy quickly ran towards the stairs that lead down the wall.

"Enemies..." ivy spoke as reached the ground and saw Authur.

"More beasts?" Authur asked.

"No, humans this time, I think they are the ones that attacked the capital...they are six of them this time," ivy said.

"This time, we are going to kill them," Alfred said angrily, they had lost half of their knights in battle and the rest of them were exhausted.

As the knights killed the beasts, the knights retreated to the safety of the walls to recover because they knew the battle wasn't over.

"We conserved our strength for this moment" James spoke.

"The archers would open fire as soon as they are within range but I doubt that would help, we should kill them before they enter the city" ivy spoke.

"They are six this time, I've only seen five of them and they all have extraordinary powers" Authur spoke.

"Two of them are mages right, is Selena okay, can't she fight," Alfred asked.

"I don't think she can, she's the reason most of the knights survived, the beasts were ready to die and they were twice our size, if they were humans we would have won with fewer casualties"

"They are close enough, I should be able to take one down" ivy smiled and ran back to the top of the walls.

"More enemies are incoming, humans this time" Authur announced.

"Humans...from which kingdom, how many are there?" the knights asked as they stood up again getting ready to fight.

"Just six of them"

"Huh! six enemies, what would six humans do?"

"We should find out" Authur spoke and led the way.

"Our arrows can penetrate their barrier, the one in front is a mage" one of the archers reported to ivy as she climbed up the wall.

Draco was in front of the five of them, he formed a barrier in front of them as they walked towards the academy, the archers were using the little amount of Ki they have left but it wasn't enough to break through Draco's barrier.

"The gates are opening, knights...there is still a large amount of them," Vaan said.

"Then that's good, I thought the beasts had killed them off, hehe, I get to have little fun with them" Ian smiled brightly.

"We can pass unless we kill all of them, and some of them are skilled, like that guy that cut off my arms" Vincent gritted his teeth as he saw Authur.

"That's the bastard that made me retreat, that bastard was able to slash my body, so he's the one that cut both of your arms, I'm not surprised, he must be their leader," Ian said.

"Vincent, bring in the last group, we need to stick to the objective for now then we can kill them later if Ian couldn't" Draco spoke.

"Master, you think I can't handle a bunch of low-life knights" Ian pouted.

"Master if I bring in the last group of orcs, we would have to raid more dungeons because all the infected beasts are gone," Vincent said.

"That's okay bring them, and Ian...don't disappoint me, kill them without mercy" Draco's eyes flashed a pure black color as he spoke that last word.

"We are almost at the academy, Silver stop" Ray shouted and Silver stopped.

'Why did we stop, are you afraid?' Kaan laughed as he asked.

'I'm not afraid, the knights are there including Authur, Alfred, and the rest, I can't let them see me in my beast form, and if I don't fight in my beast form my power and speed are reduced'

'You can't fight the enemy with half of your strength, killing the enemy comes first you can worry about your secret later, let's go'

Ray was still reluctant to go, if the senior knights find out that he was the beast they had been chasing all the while he wouldn't be able to explain, and Authur saw him in the battle and he ran away.

There is no way Authur would believe Ray is on their side, Ray pondered on what to do as he stood on Silver a few miles away from the infected wolves and warriors planning on how to defeat him.
