The Thousand Year Dynasty
06. Backups
"Well, bad" said Amithy peeked out through the front window of the train, behind the coachman. Looks scared.
"Who are they, bi?" Lucia looked curious.
"They were the security forces of the Urbar kingdom. Their leader was Vossler, who had previously come to us to ask about Anna" Amithy replied.
"Oh, is he? So what's he doing in this place?"
"That's it, but I'm starting to worry" said Amithy later.
"You two stay on the train, I'll be on guard if Mr. Vossler and Ms. Jean need help" Parpera said.
"Be careful" said Amithy.
"What do you want this time?" Vossler asked Percival from his horse. Although his hand was not ready to be held by the sword, but the Narva man was ready if at any time had to fight.
"I still want something I want last I want to get to where you are" Percival replied later.
"What are you talking about? Are you drunk? Didn't we answer that, that we didn't know that" Vossler replied.
Jean began to lay her hands on the handle of her sword. He felt that this would only get worse.
"And I am well asking and warning you. But you lied to me" said Percival, who lowered his tone. Although it is behind a closed helmet, but it can still be felt if he is angry. "So, don't blame me for being rude" he later added.
"Then what are you going to do? Injuring us in return?" Ask Vossler then. He believed that Percival was someone with a knight soul. So he hesitated when Percival attacked for no apparent reason. Or just because of the heartache.
"No. We will arrest you and ask for an exchange on your ruler" said Percival, who answered Vossler's doubts.
Although it was still a question for Vossler, who gave the man such an idea. Because according to what Vossler saw, Percival was the kind of knight who stopped honor and strength. He wouldn't have such an idea. What's more, who told Parcival about his entourage's whereabouts now.
"That's not going to happen" said Jean this time from the horse next to Vossler.
"I think you're outnumbered by us. So work together, so that nothing happens that we do not want" said Percival later.
"I'm sorry, but we can't promise that. We will fight if you don't get out of our way" said Vossler, who appears to have grasped the handle of his sword.
"Well, if you ask for it" Percival said quickly.
"Biggs, Wedge, protect the chariot" Vossler ordered his two knights to stand guard.
"Ready, sir!" The two knights answered quickly, pulling their swords out of the sheath.
Percival also pulled out his sword. Then lift it up.
Vossler pulled his sword out. The same thing was done by Jean.
"Forward!" Percival's orders later. Which was immediately responded by 24 knights of his subordinate horsemen, by spurring their horses forward. Invading Vossler and Jean.
No matter how long, suddenly a lightning bolt struck the road right between the Percival knights and Lucia's entourage were.
His voice shook, and his flash of light seemed dazzling. The lightning surprised both sides.
While Parcival's side seemed puzzled by what had just happened, Vossler knew where the lightning had come from.
He quickly looked back. Parpera was already standing in front of the train with the position of the magic wand raised to the front. That was Parpera's lightning magic.
"Dam. I don't think there's a witch among them. Drop the witch first" Parcival orders again.
And then the 24 mounted knights split into four groups, with each of the 6 people spreading out in four different directions.
Two groups tried to circle around Lucia's horse carriage, from left and right. The remaining two attacked Vossler and Jean.
Seeing what Parpera was doing, one of the knights immediately took out a bow and started aiming for Parpera from her position.
After feeling confident with his aim, the knight immediately released his arrow towards Parpera's arm. He had no intention of killing the witch.
But it seems to be in vain. Parpera had already prepared protective magic around her own body. The arrow bounced off the other direction when it collided with the invisible wall. The new one shows a purple-colored light diffuser when something touches or hits the shield.
While Vossler and Jean are seen driving their horses forward against the two groups of knights earlier. Each of them handled 6 knights.
But strange happens. The twelve knights in the two groups were unable to hold Jean and Vossler. His position is six to one.
Percival seemed to be in disbelief when the sword of Vossler or Jean that seemed not too strong to touch the armor was able to knock his knights down. Even more strangely, the knights fell along with their horses. It's as if Vossler and Jean's weapons contain paralyzing magic.
.
Seeing twelve colleagues down when faced with only two people, making two groups that were turning back the train, now began to lead back to the position of Vossler and Jean are located.
But when they were changing the direction of their horses, suddenly lightning struck from above to the two groups of knights. Both on the left and right side of the horse-drawn carriage. And made a big bang on the ground, which messed up their horse formation. Some knights seemed to fall from their horses.
Seeing his knights defeated by only three people, Percival began to rise. The iron knight immediately spurred his horse to attack Vossler. He was ready to swing his sword.
Vossler is seen preparing to receive the Percival sword.
Then there was the sound of two swords clashing.
"Have stopped all this. And let us pass" said Vossler still holding Percival's sword from his horse.
"What did you do to my subordinates?" Percival asked who sounded emotion from behind his helmet.
"They weren't hurt. They are only temporarily paralyzed. Stop all this and let us pass" replied Vossler who was still trying to withstand the sword pressure exerted by Percival.
"Step past my corpse" Percival's voice sounded almost like it was groaning.
"I was expecting you to answer like that. So what can be done" said Vossler who then seemed to press a kind of trigger in the handle of his sword at the top.
Which then, suddenly Percival's body twitched stiffly, then fell limp along with his horse to the ground.
"Stop! Your leader has fallen" cried Jean, trying to stop some of the knights who were fighting against Parpera and two of Vossler's subordinate knights near Lucia's chariot.
.
"It seems like everything is under control. Amithy said from behind the window. Trying to monitor the situation outside.
"really. The weapon that Aksa made was really very powerful" said Lucia who was next to Amithy, who also helped monitor the situation outside.
"It looks like we've been able to travel" Parpera said when she was back on the train with Lucia and Amithy.
"Are you okay?" Amithy asked Parpera who looked not too worried. That's because he knows his protective abilities.
"They're looking for trouble with the wrong witch" Parpera replied lightly.
"As expected of a Moon Witch" Lucia praised Parpera. That only the witch girl responded with a polite nod and a small smile.
And then Lucia's horse-drawn carriage began to continue on, leaving Perciva, who seemed to be being held up by some of his men, behind.
"Although we managed to avoid the things we do not want, but still this will end long" said Amithy who looks at the knights behind them. "We have dropped the security forces of the Urbar kingdom" he added, sounding very worried.
