The Thousand Year Dynasty
10.5. Antology Story: The Battle of Guam I
Before that on the north gate wall. A trio of hunters walked over the gate wall. Trying as little as possible raises a sound that makes the guard soldiers aware of their existence.
Under Axel, Sigurd, Corvette and Maserati are fighting some unbalanced warriors. Although the soldiers numbered 30, they were unable to keep up with the four.
Axel, Sigurd, Corvette, and Maserati wear protective uniforms and weapons specially made for the four of them by Aksa before they set off.
Axel wore a protective uniform that was tied to the clothes of the hunters. It seemed to carry a war, and a long-barreled weapon that he hung behind his back. Also two pistols on his left and right waist.
Sigurd is the same as Axel. Although using a protective uniform, but still doubles it with a protective plate. Typical knight clothing. He carried a sword slightly larger than Axel's. The sword had a fairly thick grip with a bullet-like tube the shape of the first firearm ever made.
Then Corvette, the bat girl wears a protective uniform that has been adjusted to her winged posture. It was carrying a short sword that was only half an arm. In the meeting part of the sword blade with the handle there is a flat iron-shaped circle as big as the hand grip. Then almost the same as Sigurd's sword, the Corvette's short sword also has a trigger in the handle.
While Maserati the bear, also wearing a protective uniform that has been adjusted to his posture. That still added some protection from animal bones in some parts. He carried a double-bladed axe, with a handle along half his body. There was a hole in the top end of the ax, where the knife blade was. And a trigger on the handle.
The four of them had not even used the Aksa-given weapon to be able to surpass the soldiers.
Then, as the trio of hunters and Rafa were about to start moving to attack the soldiers from the inner side of the gate, suddenly from the direction of the palace, more soldiers came towards them.
Together with the soldiers were two people who seemed to have a higher level. Because it looks from the way other soldiers treat and respect them.
It looked like a magical girl with a crescent-shaped magic wand, and another a burly man with a glove that had a claw-like blade.
"It looks like the two men have mystical weapons" Rafa whispered to the trio of hunters after he closely observed the witch girl and the claw-like gloved man.
"How do you know, Miss Rafa?" Loujze asked still in a whisper.
"The Soul Stream that was on the girl's magic wand had a strange and unnatural pattern" Rafa explained.
"That means we have to be careful" this time Deuxter said. "We wait here to see the situation progress" he added, giving orders.
"So stay in a hiding and observing position" Deuxter added again.
Finally the trio of hunters and Rafa undo their intention to show themselves. They decided to stay hidden first while observing the situation before they began to determine their next course of action.
The soldiers and two men came out through the small gate on the left side of the big gate.
As the troops attacked Axel, Sigurd, Corcette, and Maserati immediately retreated as the man and girl walked forward.
The area in front of the gerbsng is a crossroads of four horse-drawn carriages. On the opposite side of the gate wall immediately stood residential houses.
Axel, Sigurd, Corvette, and Maserati put horses on standby.
"It was the first time I saw Yllgarian wearing such man-made clothes and weapons. And moreover fighting side by side with humans. The dead land is truly amazing" the man said, clapping his hands.
"Be careful, it seems like they are the users of mystic weapons" Axel said softly to his three other colleagues.
Hearing Axel's conjecture, the others seemed more alert. They watched the movements of the two men closely.
"I know you guys have great weapons and combat equipment. Which might even be able to match mystic weapons" the claw-gloved man was seen pacing back and forth in front of the ranks of the soldiers.
"But to dare to come to this place, even with only four people, you are really too confident" said the claw-gloved man later. "So give up on you, before it's too late" he added.
But Axel, Sigurd, Corvette, and Maserati still did not open their mouths to answer.
"That means it's already been determined. We're going to finish this quickly" said the clawed man, who then signaled the soldiers behind him to attack again.
And at the same time, the crescent-sticked girl cast a ground magic that quickly locked onto the movement of her opponent's legs.
Thin earthen walls grew creeping locking the legs of Axel, Sigurd, and Maserati even to waist-high, very quickly. Not with the Corvette. Yllgarian the bat managed to dodge by floating in the air, moments after the witch girl had cast her magic.
Meanwhile swiftly, Axel immediately took his long-barreled weapon from behind his back and aimed his shot at the magical girl.
However, a wall of earth appeared quickly in front of the girl. Protecting him from the bullets fired by Axel.
The clawed man began to point his hands back. And then came a whirlwind of fire from the tip of his hand, which pushed the man's body forward quickly. The target is Axel.
But Corvette from above, began to point his short sword at the clawed man, and then pulled the trigger before he could touch Axel.
And instead of the bullet coming out of the sword, half of the blade came off and shot out like an arrow.
Seen behind the slats of the sword that slid earlier, a thin iron rope that continued to extend unbroken length.
Seeing the attack from above, the claw-gloved man immediately made a stalk. And as soon as his hand touched the piece of the sword blade, immediately the man's body felt like it had been struck by lightning. Which made him surprised and then fell limp down on the ground.
