The Thousand Year Dynasty
09. Invading Palaces

"It looks like the Axel master group has started to attack" said Loujze who began to see some soldiers seem to rush towards the north gate.

Aksa, Nata, Lily, Val, Rafa, and the Hunter Trio were already in the vicinity of the gate wall on both sides of the north.

They moved as the city's guard soldiers had already begun to be deployed to guard the first gate wall. Awake to the possibility of an attack from Pharos' forces.

Their plan was to create a group of Fire Stars and Yllgarians to create a diversion by making a direct attack on the gates of both north sides, and to attack them, while others will climb the gate wall to enter the territory of the nobles.

"That means it's time to climb this wall" Nata said after confirming that the soldiers were completely absent.

After receiving a rope roll from Hubert, Loujze made a high jump over the wall. Followed by Lily. They were both tasked with ensuring the situation over the wall.

Soon Loujze drops a rope for others to climb the wall.

Val who was holding Rafa also made a leap up with a single stomp.

Aksa, Nata, Huebert, and Deuxter began queuing to climb the wall.

Aksa got his first turn up the wall with a rope. After that, it was followed by Nata. And although a little slow, but the two young men managed to arrive above.

It was then that Deuxter and Huebert followed.

Nata and Aksa looked a lot of sweat.

"From here we'll split up. We will go to the big palace" Nata said, pointing to a large and magnificent building, which has two tall towers on its north and south sides. "While you help Mr. Axel and the others" he ordered later.

"Remember, the longer there will be more warriors or strong people coming. Fight smartly" added Nata giving advice.

"Good" Deuxter and the others quickly replied.

Aksa and Nata seem to hold on to Val before the four of them plunge down to the inner side of the second gate wall. While the trio of hunters and Rafa begin to settle down the wall towards the north gate.

.

Aksa, Nata, Lily, and Val had no trouble moving towards the palace. Because the territory of the nobility was quite deserted. The guards had already started heading towards the northern gate to provide assistance.

And soon they arrived at the gate of the palace.

Although almost all of the soldiers in this region headed to the north gate, but there were still dozens of other soldiers standing guard in front of the palace gate.

The four of them hid among the shadows of the fence wall of the noble house which was not far from the gate of the palace.

"I think it's time we made a mess" Nata later said.

Aksa pulled out two pistols and a long barrel gun from the bag he had hung on his back. Then handed a gun to Nata, and held his long barrel gun on his right shoulder.

Val only pulled out a knife with a dark purple blade, half the length of an arm.

While Lily took out her usual magic wand.

"All right, let's start" Nata said, taking a deep breath. He looks nervous and agitated.

It's not like Aksa. His hands seemed to be filled with cold sweat.

"We can shut it down now. It's still not too late" Lily said as she stared at Nata and Aksa. "We can still resolve this with you as planners at the back" he added.

"No. We have to do this. Otherwise, we would never have felt this was real" Nata replied, twitching his wrists to ward off his anxiety.

"I still can't understand your way of thinking" Lily responded.

"alright. We have to make a merry thing" said Aksa then who briefly rubbed his wet palm onto his shirt and piggy bank.

"really. Come on!" Say Nata that is like a trigger.

Then Aksa and Nata started running out of their hiding place while pointing a gun at the palace gate guards.

Obviously, that attracted attention. But when the soldiers were about to advance against Aksa and Nata, suddenly from behind Lily shot quickly to the palace gate, and a huge explosion occurred. Dozens of soldiers flew into space.

"I forgot Lily could do such a thing" Aksa chirped as she followed Nata and Val running after Lily who had started to enter the palace grounds.

.

They easily entered the palace. And destroy some places that are intended to create panic throughout the palace.

"Then ask perverted questions on the street. So we will ask the soldiers who are in this palace" Nata replied.

"Wow, are you hungry or what, Nat? That was the most intellectual answer I've ever heard during my time hanging out with scientists" Aksa said a little sniffly.

Suddenly, amid Aksa and Nata arguing, dozens of soldiers appear from a crossroads.

"Grandfather loved ulam arrived. We can ask them" Nata said.

"You trying to be funny?" Aksa sewot responded to Nata's words.

Not yet Nata and Aksa had time to aim their weapons, Lily had already wiped out the soldiers with a single strike.

Nata approached a soldier who was still conscious. "Hey! Tell us where your king is?" Ask later.

"Basic fucking criminals. I won't tell you" said the soldier bravely.

"Say! Or you will die horribly" said Aksa, holding his gun to the soldier's face. Trying to scare him.

"I will not betray my king. Just kill it, I'm not afraid" said the soldier not afraid of Aksa's bluff.

"alright. Let's find another soldier. Just kill this one, Lily" Nata said later.

Lily seemed to lift her wand. And from the end of the stick appeared a white light that struck wildly around the place like lightning.

"Have you ever heard of white lightning magic that was so striking that it would leave a tremendous pain but not directly kill you?" Lily spouting.

After hearing Lily's words and seeing the white light that struck the wild made the soldier start to fear.

"This is your last chance. Tell me right now" Lily asked.

"In the north. The north tower. Forgive me, Sage. Forgive me" the soldier said frantically, as Lily began to bring her wand closer to the soldier's face.

"From the cake. Make it a long time" said Aksa a little annoyed.

"All right then. We are heading to the north tower" said Nata, who then left the soldier, leading the others north.

.

While it was getting longer, the soldiers who came to confront them more and more often and more.

"Soldiers that appear so much more, Nat" chirped Aksa in the middle of their journey after successfully defeating 5 soldiers who came to head.

"That means we're on the right path. Because by creating panic, they will send the most guards to protect the most important thing" Nata replied.

"The right road is always the hard way. Very classic" chirped Aksa chimed.

But even though many soldiers came in the way, Aksa and Nata were barely injured at all. It was because of the soldiers who confronted, no one could get to touch the two young men.

Either they fall for Aksa and Nata's firearm shots, or Lily's aggressive magic.

While some of the fighting witches who seemed to be elite soldiers in the palace were also unable to do anything.

That was because the purple-bladed blade that Val had brought earlier was a mystic weapon that had the unique ability of eating the entire flow of Souls that were around it within the range of two horse carriages.

Which caused every combat magician who entered within the range of the power of the mystic blade, would not be able to cast magic.

They become like an ordinary fighter who can easily be paralyzed with firearms owned by Aksa and Nata.

As for avoiding the impact of Val's mystical blade, Lily had always been far ahead of the entourage. And with his agility he could still handle the soldiers who appeared either from the front or from the back of the entourage.

.

After quite a long walk through several soldiers, the four of them finally arrived at the end of the north tower hall. There is a large door that has two door leaves with carvings that look complicated and luxurious. There were also dozens of soldiers standing guard in front of him.

Among the dozens of soldiers was a female knight standing before them with two swords in both hands. One sword had a flattened blade, and another had a tube-shaped blade.

"Is he the boss of our dungeon?"
