The Cursed Bloodline
Sacrifice: Help
Still Flashback
The sky was starting to blacken, the night bird chirping was already starting to sound. Only the light of the full moon swept across the rocky plains below. In the middle of a stretch of limestone hills, several heavily armed soldiers were stalking a large fortress in front of him.
Yora was stalking the enemy's movements from a distance. His night-dark eyes scoured, every move of the opponent closely. Waiting for the right time, to infiltrate the fortress that has been controlled by the enemy
Feeling enough, he walked towards the place where his men were waiting. About 50 Sora soldiers were with him. Pretty little for an ordinary rescue team. Many people refuse to go.
Some of them, willing to take part in this mission only to save family members who are trapped in the Fortress, the rest are Yora's colleagues who believe in her plan. The team dubbed the 'meat' offering for Hoshi, of course no one dared to join.
In the middle of her steps, Yora finds a photo of the fallen family. The owner of the photo is one of his soldiers
"Pamam, you dropped your picture" Yora said, handing over the old photo. One of the soldiers finally realized that his precious object had been lost
"ah! Thank you captain! " said the man named Ugi, smiling weakly he stared at the photo containing portraits of his wife and baby
" Isn't uncle Ugi from the 6th revision? Are they your family? " ask Yora. Ugi looked at Yora in disbelief. Although he was a lowly warrior who did not stand out too much, he did not expect Yora to know his name
" I-yes young master. They are my wife and children"
"You have a family you have to protect. Why did you choose to take part in this dangerous mission? "
Ugi was silent as a child, stared at the old photo in his hand. A tired face and fishy smell due to enemy blood filled his body. It was also as proof that all this time he tried hard to survive in the war
" Those trapped inside the fortress also have families waiting for their return. The children of the food supplier who were prisoners of war, they also had parents waiting for them. Me, just doing my duty to be Sora's protector. Not more"
Yora smiled softly, now she also looked at the Ugi family photo. A little boy held by his wife stole his attention
"If this mission succeeds, I want to meet the princess, uncle" Yora said slowly
"Yes? Meet my daughter? But my home is far from worthy of a young master like you. And also-"
" Yora call me Yora. Uncle does not need to call me formally, uncle can call me by my name only. I really want to visit, can't uncle allow me? " yora said with a pleading look. Of course, he is just a 10-year-old boy who is still a child
" Of course, I'll have my wife cook a lot of food for the captain! " said Ugi with passion
"Don't forget, I love sweet food! " yora. They laugh too softly. Thanks to Ugi and Yora a little forgot the tension in her mind
"Captain! Hoshi's last patrol is over! "report one of the soldiers. Yora's expression turned serious.
" Let's start the mission! "
With a stomp of his hand, he gave his men a cue to start moving forward. Some soldiers settled among the large rocks, moving closer towards the great wall of the fortification
The rope with the hook was thrown perfectly. They could not use magic rashly, a single mistake would make the enemy sniff their existence. With Yora's cue the soldiers began to climb the wall and immobilize the guards who were along the fort's Wall
Fast but deadly. The movements of the trained soldiers did not even leave the slightest sound shock. They killed one by one Hoshi's soldiers in silence.
Yora raised her hand again, giving a warning to stop the movement for a moment. His dark eyes swept back the situation. A little strange Yora felt, why is this big fortress guarded by a few enemy soldiers? The atmosphere around him felt a little awkward, no movement of soldiers at all
"What should we do, Captain Yora? "
Yora was silent for a moment. This silent atmosphere really made her feel bad.
" Brack the team into two groups. One group will search for the people held captive. The rest will come with me! "
" Okay, Captain! " they then broke into two groups and began to disappear.
Yora combed the surroundings, the fortress that the enemy had occupied a few hours ago still looked deserted. Yora wondered, Where did all the Hoshi warriors go?
" It's weird. Other than the gatekeeper I did not find any other Hoshi warriors! "
Yora who was followed by a few people behind her was busy examining the contents of the fort. There was not a single person they met. Only traces of the remains of the fight he encountered. The rest of the bodies of some Sora warriors were left lying and hung at some point of the fort
"Is it possible they gave up the captain? " ask his men
" Rather than that, I am more worried about our situation that might be in the trap of the enemy! "
Cussss.....
Fireworks are thrown into the sky. Hoshi seems to be setting up a trap for Yora. Hundreds of Hoshi soldiers appeared to be on guard around the fort, besieging Yora's forces who were trapped in the middle of the balikade. The fire arrows were already on standby aiming at Yora and the Sora warriors. Some of the fire element users from the enemy pikah had also started to prepare
"What'sthis? We're in an enemy trap? " said the soldier who had put up the cue ready to fight
" Damn it! We're surrounded by enemies! " say another soldier. The highlight of their eyes began to tremble, even in terms of numbers they were definitely outnumbered
Yora was still speechless, while trying to read the current situation. What Hoshi's soldiers did was impossible. During drafting this plan, Yora had already calculated that Hoshi would concentrate the power in the Middle fortress. While his troops were guarding the Northern fortress just for sheer defense.
Even his country's leader, Hozuki, was also detected in the central region. It is impossible for Hoshi to break up his army and send him to the Northern fortress right? It is very risky in a war situation like this. If this was the case, only one answer could explain the current situation
" Someone must have betrayed us. That guy shared our plan with the enemy. Therefore they prepared this trap perfectly! It is as if they are waiting for our presence! " say Yora
" I guessed it, the Moon Clan's descendant's son is indeed very intelligent. No wonder your mother is so troublesome to our troops! " a bald man with a tattoo covering almost half his face appeared from behind the enemy brikade. He was Hoshi's military general, Yamada.
The man smiled cunningly towards Yora. Although half of him felt insulted, he had to prepare an army only to face a boy he considered weak like Yora
" You really underestimated me, for a weakling like you it is so easy for me to kill you right now!
Let's shorten this meeting. With the head of the son of the ruler of Sora as a guarantee. I'm sure Aoryu from Sora will think twice about fighting Hoshi! " Yamada snapped his finger.
Some of the soldiers took the captive Sora to the center of the arena. Not only residents and 30 children who became sandra. Yamada also captivates Yora's colleagues who are tasked with finding the whereabouts of Citizens including Ugi. Their necks were tied up like slaughter animals, even the face of their subordinates was out of shape due to being beaten by Hoshi warriors
"Young Master, don't listen to their words! " yelled Ugi but Hoshi's soldiers immediately paralyzed him by hitting right in the heart of Ugi. It made Ugi fall down with blood spurting from his mouth
" How dare you! "
Yora's hands clenched tightly, activating her Gyokunya seal. But he did not have time to fight, Yamada drew his sword and slashed one of the prisoners brutally
One child lost his life. Yora's eyes were perfectly rounded. He stared at the weak body that started to bleed fresh from the wound on his neck
"A-what did you just do? " said Yora in disbelief
" deal! Before Aoryu waved the white flag. One by one the people in front of you will kill me. You have 60 minutes, and I'll kill two people in 5 minutes!
Wait what else? Quickly send that message to your father! " cam Yamada
Yora looked around worriedly. Although he must die here, he must at least save the innocent citizens. He stared at his gyok, a faint moon symbol was visible.
" What should I do? " said slowly. But again Yamada killed two other children
" Damn it! It's not like you said just now! It's not even 5 minutes! " said Yora growled. But Yamada just smiled evilly.
" Their lives are also threatened when you think in doubt! What are you waiting for, quickly contact Sora headquarters! "
Bressshh....
Vr.kkk.......
Yamada had not yet finished his speech a magic arrow shot and killed 5 Hoshi warriors. All eyes were on the attack. At the top of the fortress, a woman in black armor pointed her bow at Yamada. His Sutra Shirt hit the wind, under the bright light of the full moon eyes as dark as night stared intently at the Hoshi troops below him. His dark eyes stared at the coldness of his prey, a moon locket embedded in his long black hair
"I-mom? " said Yora in disbelief. Yoshiro jumps off the roof of the building. A blue light shot out from his palm, he landed his feet on the ground and directly attached the gyoku on the ground surface
Brassshhhhhhh
Yoshiro's magic spread across the ground. Paralysing all Hoshi's forces in one strike. Yora, who was aware of what her mother was about to do, immediately ordered everyone to close their ears
"All! Close your ears! "
A subtle yet suffocating grin began to sound. The moon clan's special magic power is to immobilize the opponent with the sound medium. Magic will enter the target's body through the ear canal, paralyzing the opponent by damaging brain tissue to death
All the soldiers are in pain. They tried to catch their hands to cover their ears, but in vain. Yoshiro's magic works. Some of the Hoshi warriors had already begun to collapse to the ground with their brain fluid coming out of their ears
Yora wasted no time, she led the sandras to go with her. They were all walking precipitously, towards the aqueduct of the fortress that was connected directly out of the fortress. The channel will be on the way, for people to escape from there immediately
"No, I'm not gonna let you get out of here! " with his Anginya magic, Yamada blocked the road by breaking down the wall. People are trapped again
Yamada did not remain silent. Sound will not work in a vacuum, it is Hoshi's best wind controller. Yamada also activated his gyokunya and made a typhoon storm surround the fort
The wind blew fast and absorbed the remaining oxygen, making everything trapped inside lose fresh air. Yoshiro's sound magic is now not working at all
Brasssh...
"Well!... Huh!... Huh!.. " Yoshiro was exhausted. He looked at Yamada annoyedly, to him Yamada was a powerful enemy
" What is this? Did you come here to save your beloved son? Who would have thought a great figure like you would give yourself to come here alone? "
" Just take care of your business! Bald man! My son's problems I can take care of by myself. At least I knew my son wouldn't grow up to be a coward like you!
Big jendra Hoshi? Huh! You're so embarrassing! How could a general like you gang up on a little boy and a weak woman like me with hundreds of soldiers?! " yoshiro said with a mocking smile
" Damn it! Shutup! " Yamada began to advance, with a sword in his hand he prepared to face Yoshiro
Trangs......
The clash of swords was inevitable. The fight of the two main soldiers was fierce
" Everything! Attack it! " Fight is inevitable. With an unbalanced number, Hoshi warriors pounded the defenses of the Sora warriors
Yoshiro against Yamada. While Yora and the others try to protect the citizens and fight the Hoshi warriors who attack blindly. Bloodshed is inevitable. One by one Sora's soldiers were killed, while Yora and Yoshiro were still struggling to survive
Yamada is so crafty. He felt that he would not win if he continued to fight against Yoshiro. In the middle of his fight, he activates his Gyoku seal. Wind waves appeared without Yoshiro noticing. Slowly the wind waves formed a small pointed spear and prepared to hit anything below it
"Hey Yoshiro! You may be a good soldier Sora. But I was wondering, can you protect your son in the middle of our fight? " yamada said as he continued to swing his sword at Yoshiro
Yoshiro lost his defense. Several times he almost slashed Yamada. Yoshiro tries to avoid the opponent's attack but his focus is only on Yora. Just above Yora, tens of thousands of wind spears were ready to rain down on her
" No! Yora move!" Yoshiro could not do much, Yamada's successive attacks made it difficult for him to approach Yora
"Too late! I promise, I will kill you both with my hands! "
Yamada smiled cunningly, with his will thousands of pointed spears began to fall. While he was, with a pointed sword in his hand started swinging it towards the careless Yoshiro
Trangggg..........
......................
Elsewhere, all eyes were fixed on the shiny object above them. The shape of the object resembles water mixed with wind. Form a pointed object with the help of powerful magic
" A-what is it? " people began to stare fearfully towards the sky. Thousands of wind spears began to fall down and brutally bombarded their bodies. There was no time to avoid, everyone in the place ended up dead with a hollow stomach
Yora who was aware of the attack began to sniff out as much as she could. But the incredible number of spears trapped him in the end. Yora realized, in that situation she could not hide any longer
Brasss.....
Yora closed her eyes, she thought this was the end of it all. But he felt nothing. It was as if something was dispelling the pointed spear to plunge its body
Trass.....
Warm splashes on his face. Yora felt something warm and thick walking down her cheek. Yora tried to open her eyes slowly. He could not believe that someone had sacrificed to save his life
"T-it's impossible! "
