Avalon Knight's
ASTAROTHS

Hahaha.., a beautiful day, expels the darkness that was yesterday. I breathed the white flowers once again, and again. Hmm, why do I want to keep breathing it? But. Now why does my body feel heavy. It's hard to move my body. I tried to shake my head to shoo away the dizzy that was slowly attacking me.

Surely this flower is the cause, the impact of the aroma is very intoxicating, hopefully not the poison that I inhale and do not faint. But it feels so bad to throw away this white flower.

Slowly my eyes caught someone moving far ahead. The black dots are getting more and more clearly visible. It was a group of people riding something similar to a horse.

There were about twenty people who were riding animals like horses It was crossing far in front of me. They moved from the valley towards the lake. I stood up and kept watching them.

Suddenly they turned around, changing direction right towards me. It seems like they have seen my existence in this place.

Do I have to run or stay here? if I run, my feet feel reluctant to move because of the aroma caused by the flower earlier. After all, that army might be from the city of knights I'm heading to, because it doesn't look like the monsters of yesterday.

The troops moved closer and closer to me and I could see what they were driving, it turned out that they were richly decorated donkeys, like war horses.

The donkeys wore leather masks covered with colorful precious stones and their bodies were covered with saddles studded with precious stones as well. This made the donkeys glow in the morning sunlight. An exaggerated makeup for a donkey.

I smiled to myself at the sight, pitying to see a donkey carrying excessive makeup like being forced into a horse. It looks weird and funny. Moreover, hearing the voices of protest the donkeys while on the whip to run by the riders.

The riders were dressed in battle armor, just not as beautiful as the one worn by Shemmer. Their armor had simple carvings and trinkets, but the entire material was coated with gold, making them more lustrous than the donkey he rode. Their war helmet looks tall towering taper, with gold-colored tassels waving long to its back. An exaggerated sight for a soldier.

They immediately confronted me, and pointed their long spear at me. Their eyes that were behind the armpits of war looked wildly, as if they were ready to kill me if I moved or

" Hahaha.we got another one! " the wrong word from them, greeted with a rude laughter by the others.

" I don't know why from yesterday a lot of wild people crossed our country. "

" Who are you guys? " ask me in a flat tone and prepare to fight if needed by preparing the dagger I put under the right arm cloak.

My smile earlier that was painted when I saw the ridiculousness of their asses, now disappeared instantly changing vigilantly and seriously, hearing their unfriendly tone of speech. The desire to beat them up arose, especially when their spear spies were smoothed close to my neck.

" We are warriors of astaroth, shut your mouth despicable man! " shouted one of them

In my heart I murmured "fortunately you are human, if the monsters let alone creepy creatures, I immediately cut it down, let alone I need information on the existence of the city of Eklesia. I have to hold back, "

" Astaroth's? is it the city of knights? " many more.

" Knight...?! we can also buy any knight as we like, and we will sell you to be a slave of astaroth, hahahah...! " said someone ahead, it seems like he is their leader.

Actually their bodies are very fat and short with a distended stomach. One of them came down from his donkey with great difficulty, walking with a mine towards me. Obviously they want to tie up and take me, obviously I don't want to. So their hunting materials are for sale. And the spears that surrounded me moved close to my space.

I jumped and twitched and moved away. But strangely I could not jump high or fly, and my body felt heavy as a result of inhaling the scent of white flowers earlier. The astaroths were no less surprised to see my nimble movements. They looked riled up and immediately picked up a few more lasso ropes. Ready-to-arrest me.

" The astaroth people hold it!! " cry loudly.

" The whole city around you is being destroyed by the Azmaveth army. I'm sure they're also heading for your city to destroy! "

" Hahaha, by the way, everyone we arrested yesterday also said the same thing! " answer one of them

" We don't care! astaroth has a pact with Azmaveth, they can't attack us! "

And they started swinging the lassonya at the same time, ready to catch me.

I immediately ran away and tried to fly. But I have no energy to fly. A rope quickly reached my left leg and snared it. I tried to rebel, to let go of the rope, but too late the other ropes tied me together.

Even though I was bound, I was still in contact so that one of the people who pulled me was attracted and trained from the top of his donkey and fell to the ground.

I was still in contact and they were starting to get overwhelmed facing me. Twenty men immediately ganged at me punching and kicking me until I was helpless. Even I was in a semi-conscious state like I was about to faint.

Someone finally stopped his friends who were gnawing at me. He put his hand on my forehead and opened my eyes. Then he went back to the leader of the astaroths and spoke "he was exposed to severe poisons. He must have been breathing the flowers. Do you still have the antidote?

" Crazy, being exposed to poison piseah is very heavy can even lead to death, but why is the power still very strong when giving resistance, even we are overwhelmed to catch it! this I still have a few, quickly give it to him before he is completely paralyzed and cannot be sold as a slave. "

" Eh. don't give all the antidotes. Give him half a dose. I don't want him to be recovered and trouble all of us! " said the leader of the astaroths.

One of those people came back to me. Gave something to me and forced me to swallow it.

In my semi-conscious state I heard vaguely their words.

" we will give as a gift to the covetous king. The feast of offerings to the god of war aven is almost here, and he is very good and needs a strong and great fight, surely the covetous king is very happy and gives us many gifts...let's take it to astaroth. " while we're out

" Let's take it to astaroth and raise this slave! " they all laughed again.
