"Kuribayashi? »Request curious Louis.
"One of my teammate, the kind of person that you can not miss, small size short black hair, a bad character ... and some advantages to this level! "Trust Itami, patting his chest.
"I think I understand what you mean ... those of my favorite British are a good size! "Responds Louis and then he asks. "Itami said to me how you met the members of your team? »Request curiously Louis, who see them drink and chat with members to its team.
"Ah, after securing the gate and repel empire attack we begin to start the exploration of the special area, after crossing several villages we fell short on a fire caused by a giant fire dragon, it was the birthplace of Tuka, when fire was put out we went in the village, or rather what was left, houses and charred elves, and we found her in the bottom of a well, the only one to have survived ... "he said bleakly on Itami, all everyone around the table is shocked by the story.
"My gods..." said Louis.
"Damn, that must be horrible .." Adds Jacques.
Seeing Tuka who starts to cry comforted by Lelei Louis hastens to apologize. "If I had known, I would not have asked the question, sorry ..."
"No... it's fine..." Tuka said, wiping her tears, trying to sheave-file a smile. "Thanks to Itami I'm here! "She said finally.
"This damned dragon, I hope to get him one day ..." He said with a serious air . "Even if we managed to pull him to one of his arms, it remains dangerous! "
"One of his arm cut off? How have you made? "
"It is after bringing Tuka with us in one of our vehicles,we then traveled to the village of coda to warn the inhabitants of what had happened, the villagers then started to evacuate and we helping them, the numbers of chariots which to start causing a plug in the main street! "Explain Itami, looking Lelei allowing the speech.
Lelei spoke next. "A cart had an accident, so I go to for help when one of uncontrollable horsepower almost killed me, one of the companions of the Itami killed suddenly. "Said the young magician in blue hair calmly.
Itami then resumes. "Once the villagers in the road we escorted them and on the way we crossed the road ..."
"Rory mercury, ie me! "Said the 'young Gothic'.
"Rory, this is not done to cut the floor to people. "Said Lelei. "You would have had to wait for the lieutenant let you speak! "
"Bah! I prefer to tell this part of myself, this is my favorite, although it is not worth that of italica! "
"Then I said! Itami and his friends were on their iron chariots, I was curious to know how these things work, so I have their kindly asked if I could get on board ..."
"Hey, you never asked us our opinion! "Itami protest" You directly come sit on my knees! "
Curious look of everybody his direction.
"No thoughts back, no thoughts back! "
Smirking Rory who resume. "Once installed we continued towards their base when the dragon attacked us, the jayesdefe responded quickly, but the magic weapons they holding had no effect when one of the soldiers pulled a metal tube which has sent a out the dragon, I have aided them, throwing my ax to change the position of the dragon and when the powerful magic hit the dragon, his arm exploded in a loud noise, he pushed it a roar of pain and then he ran away!"She finish.
Wow, that's really how it happened? »Request a Louis startled.
"More or less, and once back at the base I got past a sacred soap! "
"Why it does not surprise me! "Laugh Louis.
"It's me that, and you then how you met your teammates in the New World? "
"Well after securing the abandoned camp, my team and I we headed south towards the village of Poséis, as saying that what we found was little rejoicing, the village was attacked by the same barbarians who attacked the capital some moths ago, and we found Brucue seriously injured in one of the houses, then the same barbarian returned to set fire to the village but thanks to the reinforcements from the base, we were able to eliminated all of them, with the help of explosives!"
"With explosions, nothing changes on that side with you eh! "Smiles the Japanese.
"Ah no, and the princess, it's complicated to explain but I saw in a dream, especially since I have these runes on my arms! "Explains Louis, showing the runes in question to his friend, to which he replies.
"These runes, it makes me think RPG heroes who are elected as chosen to save the kingdom! "
"That's what I think too, and that's why after saving the princess who was to be taken to a rival nation, we then headed to the capital to meet someone able to translate these inscriptions, I think the story will be long ... "
A week earlier, 23 September 2015, 9H10
The SRG1 team leaves the protective concrete base belt to travel toward Dinswark, the capital of the kingdom of Nameste, with on board the Princess installed in the VB2L while the German Dingo is carrying several boxes containing presents for the royal family, as a first gift and commercial exchange between the two world, after leaving the dirt road leading to the base of the convoy joined a wider road, paved the latter, similar to the one built by the Romans of antiquity.
An hour later the rain starts to fall on vehicles, reducing visibility, drivers thus turn the lights a precaution luckily for them probably due to more political climate than weather few civilians, mostly farmers and their cargo are venturing on the road, even if the way they cross soldier of the royal army on foot or on horseback, leaving the military surprised by these strange machines, but the three vehicles in addition to display the flag of the FBGEF also fly the flag of the Kingdom of Nameste for avoid any incident.
"Good initiative for putting the flag, like that the royal soldiers will not attack us by mistake! "Louis grinned at his driver who had this idea.
"Thank you captain is seeing the cars of the ambassadors with their flags, and now the Nameste is our ally right?"Simon ask.
"Affirmative, but their leaders at the capital are not aware of the treaty, and in the absence of radio to communicate with them, we have to do it by the old way, by written messages to inform them, and then somehow it's more polite!"Louis explain.
"Especially towards a royal family! "Jacques adds.
"Lebeau, please how long before we arrive?"Request Yliana.
"We still three hours to drive, but with the rain falling we are forced to slow down for safety reasons Majesty! "Meets the captain.
"Three hours? Thank you anyway to escort me once again, on horseback this trip would have taken at least two or three days! "Thanks the smiling princess.
"We could as well use our helicopters but I think we would have terrified the population! "Adds after half an hour the rain stops falling, leaving the paved road soaked with a few puddles on board, the train passes through some villages, leaving residents surprised, the terrain is dotted with hills and high cliffs where they can see an aqueduct.
After three hours and a lunch break in a local inn where they could taste the local specialty the convoy finally arrived in the capital, a large city in terms of local residents of nearly 400 000 inhabitants built on hills protected by a mountain to the north to facilitate the defense and which rises a river running through the city, and surrounded by high walls that gives the city a pentagon shape and four gate, and outside many fields and meadows for animals.
"That's it, we arrived at Dinswark, wow this is lovely city! "Recognizes Lebeau, who immediately contacted the base. "Captain Lebeau to Jacques Cartier base, we arrived to the royal capital, the trip went without incident! "
"Roger Captain , please contact us if necessary! "Answers General Villiers.
"Caesar would not have done better! "Adds his driver, admiring the city.
On their way a rider group comes to meet, the soldiers quickly recognize the knight, these are the same they encountered after saving the princess, Runo von Algustus and his men, the convoy stopped and accompanied by Louis the princess get out of the vehicle.
"Princess, we are delighted to see you back in the capital! "Said the knight, bowing to the princess. "His majesty the king awaits you with impatience."
"Thank Runo, have you informed the king of my captors? "
"Yes majesty, we sent messengers throughout the whole kingdom was warned the border garrison of the situation and stand ready to a possible invasion."
"Well, in that case do not wait no longer my father and go there! "She concluded.
Backwards in the VB2L the three armored vehicles entering the capital after a drawbridge is lowered to make them come in, the streets of the city are packed with people and carts of any kind, however the streets are wide enough, buildings town center for some reaching 20 meters high for most resemble those of Roman antiquity with a mixture of Germanic origin, that can be noted Karpunski and the other Germans, the rider guides in Armala Avenue, the largest street of the city like the Avenue des Champs Elysées, on the sides with merchant stalls of fruit and vegetable seller and meat, and some of the most important building are made of marble, it is also for the team the first major city they visit since their arrival in this world.
"This avenue is big, how is it called?" Request Louis to the princess.
"This is Armala Avenue, named in honor of one of our great generals who defended to the kingdom from foreign invaders 100 years ago. " Answers the Princess.
"It must have been a great general to be entitled to such an avenue! "
"Yes that was! " Answers Yliana smiling.
"This building, they remind me of my neighborhood in Munich..." Observe Karpunski through the ATF Dingo window sit on the passenger seat at the front.
"True, the style of the wooden beams and the white color, it's funny yet with novelistic style! "Answers Chris his compatriot, driving the ATF Dingo.
"You lived in Munich Sergeant?"Request Lynette, from the back of the vehicle, guarding the box with Ulrich.
"Yes, I spent my childhood and adolescence in the family home, and then when I got the majority I moved to the University of Munich to attend medical school. "Meets Geraldine. "I had intended to become a great doctor! "
"A doctor? But why you enlisted in the army in this case? If it is not indiscreet!"She request.
"Family problems and therefore not enough money to go to college, that's why I chose the army, which they have financed my studies ..." She said, sighing slightly.
"Family problems...I see, okay"
Karpunski smiled and added. "But it looks like I was right to choose the army, otherwise I think I probably would not have had the opportunity to discover this world, before being assigned here I was deployed to Afghanistan for three years, and then you Bishop where do you come from?"
"From Woodbridge in Suffolk, in eastern England, when I turned 18 I immediately chose the way of the army, have a slightly military tradition in our family! "
" Really ? "
"Yes I have my sister who lives in Canada Wilma Bishop who is a sergeant in the Canadian Land Forces and my American cousin William Bishop is Lieutenant Colonel in the USAF! "Tell proudly Lynette.
"Yes, me however I am the only one in my family who is engaged in the German army since 1945, and I think Chris, you do not have a brother in the Luftwaffe? "
"Edgar my big brother, pilot of eurofighter Typhoon, an excellent fighter pilot! "
"In all this I hope it piloted better than you! "Pleasant Geraldine.
"Ah ha, very funny, it changes you from usual! "Laugh Chris, who drove cautiously along the Armala Avenue. "What is this traffic? I have the impression of being in the center of Berlin at rush hour ... that's it I think we arrived. "
After several minutes ride the team finally arrived at the royal palace, which is built on a mountainside, surrounded by streams and high walls and numerous patrol soldier and archers, the convoy passes over a drawbridge that closes immediately after their passage, then the three vehicles will park in front of the steps leading to the entrance of the palace.
Namesté Royal Palace 23 September 2015, 13H30
"It is the palace rather impressive! "Said Ulrich.
"It is bigger than Buckingham Palace I think! "Adds Charles.
"But smaller than the Chateau de Versailles! "Meets Louis however.
"Welcome to the palace of Namesté, this is where resides the royal family, including myself obviously, you will have the honor of being the first foreigner from another world to penetrate in these places. "
"We will ensure that all goes well, you heard the Princess? That everyone behaves respectfully and distinguished! "Lebeau said in an unusually serious tone.
"Yes Captain! "Meet his teammates.
"His majesty the king awaits your highness. "Runo said politely to the princess.
Runo, the princess and all SRG1 members climb the steps of the staircase, guarded by a dozen soldiers in armor, red rectangular shield with a golden x and lances, placed on each side saluting the princess in its passage, Princess and guests passing an entrance surrounded by four high pillar of marble, and enter a large hall with a staircase leading upstairs, footsteps of armor echo in the great hall guarded by many soldiers. Runo between accompanied the princess in the throne room where is Yanros Panchi, the current king of the kingdom and father of Yliana, a 54 years old man with gray hair and dressed in a white toga, watching his city through a glass window.
"Majesty, your daughter is back. "Runo advert.
The king heard these words turns and walks a step towards his daughter smiling and excited. "Yliana, my daughter finally here you are back with us!"Said a king happy to see his daughter. "I thought I lost you! "
"I am happy to see you father also, I think also be lost, but thanks to the gods I could be saved by mighty warriors! "
"From mighty warrior? Runo talked to me, the you have to with you?"
"Yes, they wait behind the door, Runo, you can make them enter? "
"Yes princess. "Responds the knight who brought the team the king is surprised by seeing for the first time this kind of soldiers not wearing armor or shield, only green and brown outfits, helmets and wearing weird weapons, only the wolf who accompanies them and what seems to be the officer carry a sword with them.
"There are these peoples?" Request the astonished king.
"Yes father, it is the men who saved me!" Responds daughter. "The man carrying a sword is their leader. "
"Well well .." said the king, approaching SRG1 which are posted at attention.
"So it is you to whom I owe can see my daughter again? I'm the king of the kingdom of Nameste Yanros Panchi, In my name and that of all my people, you have my gratitude and appreciation for what you made. "Says a smiling King. "Mister..."
"Lebeau Captain Louis Lebeau, and it is an honor for me to meet in person the ruler of this kingdom and could be helping your people! "Responds Louis, saluting the king.
"I understand you come from another world is this? I'm struggling to believe it!" Request the king and it is his daughter who responds.
"Yes father, I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth, their world was attacked by the same barbarians who currently ravaging the kingdom, and it's why the name of the kingdom I signed a treaty with representatives of the other world, if you'll watch ... "he said Yliana, giving a copy of the treaty, which the King is quick to read accurately.
"All of these proposals seem to me acceptable, we have indeed a serious epidemic and troubles with the barbarians, forcing us to disperse our forces to stop them, and making the north of our country vulnerable."
"I understand majesty, we will make sure to help you defend your kingdom and with your permission I'd like some of my companions go to the camp where patients are located to examine them."
"This is not a proposal to refuse to those who have saved my daughter! "Responds the King, who agrees.
"Runo guide you to the camp! "Adds the princess, Runo agrees.
"I'm sorry but I'll have to leave you, I have a meeting with the Minister and Senator, I will talk to them about our alliance now, and I also asked that the rooms be ready for you and your companion! "Says the King, leaving the room the Treaty on hand to go to the Senate, accompanied by his bodyguard.
"Thank majesty and Yliana about this person you spoke to me ..."
"Yes, she is at the university in the capital, she is professor, follow me! "
Dinswark University, eastern neighborhood, 23 September 2015, 14H30
Louis and the princess out of the palace, Louis ordered Karpunski and Newark accompanied by Mohamed, Thomas and Lynette to go to the camp where the sick are, guided by Runo on Board of VAB hospital, while the others head to the university where the person found looking after a short ride they enter the large university Alasta located in the eastern part of the city.
"Ahhh, the university, it reminds me of memories ..." said Lebeau on a nostalgic air.
"Me too, and you remember the evening we were doing all weekend? "Meets Jacques.
"Ah, I'm not about to forget ha ha ha, that was the good old time! "
"I do not think they have yet invented student parties! "Adds Scott.
"Well, we should help them in this case! "Said Ulrich" With good German beer sounds obvious! "
"And wear skirts shorter ..." Adds Simon.
"I do not think that will be the time for that, and our superiors did much appreciate that ..." Kuto said to them, sighing.
" What are you talking about ?" Request the princess to the Japanese.
"You had better ignore it, in your interest majesty ..."
The director of the university receives our team and the princess ask where they can find a witch in particular, the director thinks and tells them that she is in the library, after that they go to the library where they can see arriving inside a person with pink hair sitting on a chair reading a huge book and a trident lying on his table, Yliana calmly approach the person obviously very focused in his reading.
"Hey miss Mariana? "
"What do you want to me?You not see I'm busy... oh its you princess Panchi, I'm sorry! "Meets the girl realizing who she just answered, embarrassed.
"Sorry to surprise you! But we were in your research about something important."The princess say.
"Oh, and what is it?" Request the girl with pink hair, Louis and the others present themselves and the Princess resumes.
"My friend here and myself have runes on our arms and I understood that you know the language!"
"I think effectively recognize these inscriptions, it's amazing I do had never seen before..." said Mariana who observes the runes inscribed on Louis and the princess arm , then runs off to seek a huge brown scrawl visibly old, leafing many pages to finally find what she is looking after several minutes of silence in Translation she says.
"What I was able to translate indicates that you are the chosen one, chosen to slay the monster that sleeping in a cave in a mountain where snow is eternal ... and also directions to one of the jewels who must assemble with your sword ... and that the two persons of royal blood must join forces to defeat the monster "She explain to them.
"As in a zelda games somehow ..." Think our French, then adds. "And these jewels what they do? "
"These jewels according to legend contain a powerful magic in all of them, needed to defeat Cerberus the legendary creature, I see that you have a jewel, he remains two, and I know the sword can only be used by a person with royal blood... "
"I understand why they kidnapped the princess so ..." Adds Hijikoto. "But in this case captain why the sword reacted on you ... wait do not tell me that you a..."He say surprised.
"That I had completely forgotten, and I've never told anyone except Jacques but my old family name is Louis de Bourbon Lebeau ... one of many pretender to the throne of France, although I've never claimed, and it does not interested me."declares Louis on a uneasily voice, leaving the team completely stunned by this news, only Jacques does not seem surprised, a thud on the radio being remained is hear, the rest of the team is examining the sick heard, Karpunski fell completely stunned.
"Karpunski, Newark what it happens here, everything is all right?"Request the anxious captain.
"Er, yes all is well, it is Karpunski which has been totally surprised by what you just said ... majesty! "Answers Newark with a smile, removing his mask.
"The captain, a member of the royal family ... that's impossible ... I must be dreaming"Stammers the German nurse, rising.
"I see that this is very dear Karpunski happy with this ... how it goes for you there?"
"We looked at a number of civilians, they are all victims of the plague, I made an urgent request to the base, they send the material as soon as possible, your majesty! "
"Um good, well, do your best while waiting with them, if the sleeping beauty wants to get back to work! "
"You have a chance she can not hear you say that, otherwise it would you go to the guillotine!"Respond Newark, laughing.
"Ah British humor, contact us at slightest problem, Lebeau over! "Finish the captain, turning to his companions who are always surprised" Um good guys, I know that surprises you, but if we resume where you left off, miss Mariana? "
"Yes yes, so then ... like I said the sword to operate with all its power must have the Three Jewels, he remains two to find the one you was at the Capital Museum to which was stolen during one of the attacks of the barbarians, the latter must be in the temple of Athiana ... "Answers the girl, leaving an old map" There! the temple is located here, about three days to travel horse. "Mariana show the temple on the map.
Louis takes out his own map created with the topographic survey conducted by the 105 JFW, superimposing his map on the old map, Mariana was very surprised by the precision of this map.
"So here we are, and the temple according to your specifications here is... a mountainous area, even with our vehicles we will put at least a day to reach the area."
"Captain, it will be even more dangerous because the temple is located in a non pacified area, we risk to met..." said Jacques, seeing the area colored red.
"The kuwan indeed, they almost missed me those it! "
"The temple is also located in a village,we will have avoided friendly fire, if these damned barbarians did not kill them before! "Adds Jacques.
"I hope they have not laid hands on the jewels before us! "Said Brucue anxious, crossing his arms.
"In this case, not a minute to lose, I contact the base and others! "Declares Louis immediately, which leaves the university with his team and also Mariana Anasatsa accompanying them, took his spell-books and his golden trident, a few hours later six CH47 and they escorts arrive over the capital and head to the camp, where NBC medical team landed in combination with equipment brought in emergency from Europe, and after a decontamination shower, the rest of SRG4 join the group at the east entrance of the capital.
Once gathered SRG4 left the capital, the princess had informed his father before, and headed for the temple of Athiana along a rocky road slowing the progression of the convoy, however at 22H night had fallen, Louis decides to s' stop at the entrance to a forest near a river for the night and regain strength.
"Night falls, we'll stop here for the night, get out your sleeping bags and rations, eat and sleep well one starts tomorrow at 7H00!" Orders Louis, the now 15 team members out of their vehicle, arranged in a triangle to protect themselves any threats, the team is set around a campfire to eat their meal, outgoing their military rations bags and quietly eating and talking around the fire, the night passes quietly, soldiers standing guard in rotation, the next day after their first night under the stars our team takes the path of the temple at sunrise.
"According to the map we must no longer be very far from the area! "Declares Jacques, watching the map after several hours of travel.
"The temple and the village must be located in this mountain then! "Respond Louis, seeking the village with its binoculars, it may however see several black columns of smoke that seems to come from the village in question.
"Lebeau to all we arrive in hostile territory, we risk meeting our dear friends barbarians ... open your eyes! "Recommends carefully the captain, his companions verify and prepare their weapons and machine gun, scanning both sides of the road, as and when they progress is littered with animal carcass, civilian, royal soldier barbarian and charred trucks across the road.
"It looks like the work of these Kwuan bastards unfortunately..." Observe disgusted Thomas.
"No sign of life around, a real no man's land! "Simon say.
"It looks like there was in a holy battle here! "Indicates Scott on the radio.
"And neither both side get out of this battle unscathed, sorry for your men Yliana" said Louis in a sincere tone.
"These brave soldiers fought to defend our people, I'll make sure they do not died for nothing! "Said a princess saddened at the sight, in respect all the member salute when passing.
The convoy finally reach the village, or what is left, the temple is located at the bottom of the village, the streets being blocked by the rubble of the buildings, the team is forced to continue on foot, despite the priority given to recover one of the jewels Louis orders the rest of the team trying to find survivors, while Louis, accompanied by his friend Jacques only, the princess and the young Mariana Brucue, progressing meter by meter on the look.
"All this destruction to attack unarmed people! "Say an enervates princess, outgoing his sword.
"That's why I asked my friends to find survivors, I know it's hard but stay calm!"
"You're probably right. "Said the princess, calming.
"The temple should not be far away now ..." said Mariana.
"Captain, I would not want to upset you but you think it's safe to go there with only five person?"Request Jacques.
"Knowing these barbarians, they would have attacked us long ago if they were still there, but if it becomes too dangerous, evacuate immediately have, we can always come back later with reinforcements ..."
"But..." Request Jacques, feeling that his captain does not finish his sentence.
"If they get their hands on the jewels they could and it is certain to become more dangerous than they are already, that's why we must act quickly! "Finish Louis, advancing faster.
A quarter hour later the 5 members reach the temple, resembling a temple to the Greek origin with white columns and four straight grooves and a large wooden door, destroyed.
24 September 2015, Athiana Temple 15H15
"Although Looks like someone came before us!" Mariana Notes.
"Hopefully they have not got hold of it then," answered Louis, taking his talkie-walkies. "Lebeau to all, we arrived at the temple who obviously just a visit of our dears friends, we will enter what is the situation on your side? "
"We found a dozen villagers who had hidden in the basement of the village, mostly women and children! "Chris Respond, while the two military medics treat some injured near the vehicles.
"Roger that, contact the base for they send an extraction unit, go all in a clear and safe area for those people, when we did get found what were looking for, I would call you for you to come back to get us. "
"But Captain... well very well, be careful boss! "Finish Chris, everybody had installed civilians in vehicles before leaving the village to go to a field outside waiting for a helicopter unit.
" Like always!Lebeau over. "Finish confident Louis. "Ladies and Gentlemen, let's go, let's see what this temple hide from us!" Orders Lebeau, lighting the torch of his FAMAS, to illuminate the dark interior of the temple, inside the completely disordered, the bench and destroy other furniture on the ground, only the fountains that are in the hall are in good condition , just after entering the temple, Brucue sniffed and started to growl.
"You felt something Brucue? "Lebeau Request turning.
"I think we are not alon here captain..." Meets the Wolf, clutching his sword.
"You have heard, be careful! "Recommends Louis. "Then Mariana, what is it that could help us find what we seek? "
"My book tells me that a sealed secret door is somewhere on the wall."
"So no time to lose, trying." Said the princess suddenly, everyone is looking on his side, spending several minutes searching, passing near a furniture placed against a wall Jacques feels a gentle stream of airbrush against him.
"Hey, I think I found something! "Warns it.
" Where ? "
"Behind this furniture? The door must be behind this furniture! "Said the captain, after several efforts the heavy wooden cabinet falls to the ground, revealing a door with inscriptions and a vertical slot.
Only the one who possesses the legendary key, can open the door of the treasure.
The three jewels assembled.
And the monster will be floored.
"That is what is written! "Translated Mariana.
"A key, we did not have a key with us! "Note the princess.
"We have one, it's called the C4! "Meets Jacques smiling, puzzled look of the whole team,"So what?It has done well for our task until there, right? "
"I know, it can only be the sword, legendary key, legendary sword, that's it! "Louis responds smiling, leaving his sword from its sheath.
"It is logical, the slot is the same size as the sword. "Responds Mariana.
"It only remains for me more than to put my sword into the slot ... and do not see insinuations!"
Placing the sword in the location deep, a mechanical clicking sound is heard, the lock turned and then opened the door, revealing a dark stairway that seems to descend underground.
"Nice work Indy!"Jacques compliment him.
"Well well, let's go for the adventure then .." Say Louis, taking his sword, all down the steps lit by the light of their flashlights, however, at the entrance to the hall two person in red dress and black watched the scene.
"They managed to open it, we follow them? "Said one of the barbarians.
"No, were going to wait until they have recovered the jewels for us and they move up, our employer wants to take possession of this sword and the Three Jewels, and when they have found we will kill everyone except their leader and the princess!"
"Capture the Princess I understand but why spare their leader, master? »Request a intrigued barbarians.
"For the general Arzastak wants to kill himself in the man who killed his brother Lord of our attack in the next world! And with our new friend with us, we will prepare a surprise, and the Princess will allow you to relax ! "Says the leader with a devilish smile.
After these words, a group of fifty barbarians accompanied by a mysterious man wearing a black cape advance in the temple, for now remaining behind and making as little noise as possible so as not to be spotted, hiding behind bench or pillars, at the same time in the underground the team reached the under ground and head for what seems to be the treasure room when Brucue suddenly stops.
"They are there, I can feel their presence! "Indicates Brucue.
"What distance? "
"Just a block away, can be less ... they stopped" Responds the Wolf Warrior.
"Hey shit, and because of this rock I can not contact the other, and even if I could, they would not be here fast enough!"Pest Louis, who is recovering.
"Let us quickly hand over gems and after this we will take care of the barbarians!"
"You have a plan boss?"
"If Marina say right about the gems, yes!"
"And I could help you beat them easily with my power of goddess! "Responds Mariana, surprising everyone.
"Wait you're a goddess, and why did not you say so earlier? "Said Louis stunned.
"Half goddess in fact, servant of Naiad water goddess, and well because you have not asked me that is! If I have told you you probably would not want bring me with you!"She explain.
"Damn, I'm going from surprise to surprise, it's not a problem for us that you are a goddess, a friend of mine also has a half goddess in his team, I'll tell you later! "He respond with a comprehensive face.
After traveling the long corridor and avoid some traps hidden in the walls and having neutralized, the team finally arrived front of a large stone door with many motifs drawn on, and the same type of lock to open the door again, Lebeau do the same thing by placing prudently his sword in the lock and the heavy stone door slowly opens in a loud noise, revealing a room lit by torches and a small box on a pedestal.
"So what's in it lies the jewels? It seems too easy ..." said Louis coming toward the pedestal, walking carefully to avoid potential pitfalls while watching his teammates entry the room, seeing no one.
"I do not see anyone, but I can feel their presence ... they have not moved since we went down"Brucue advert.
Lebeau finally arrives to take the box, when he sees a kind of a switch underneath and at the same time the ground move.
"Shit, what's that? "Think our captain," If I remove any trap that can be activated, what would Indy do ... "he mused, and then finding that the trap is activated only if we remove the box, he takes off his jacket and picks up stones on the ground, quickly placing his jacket and rock on the switch so that the trap will not activate just after removing the box.
"Phew, it looks like it finally works..." Breath it by moving away quickly when suddenly a wall trap door opens, revealing a huge ball of rock.
"Ho shit ... RUN! "Howl Lebeau that starts running with all his strength, chased by a huge ball, the box in his hands.
"I told myself that it was too easy! "Howl Louis.
"It's like in the movie, it's great, in fact no! "Crees Jacques.
"Why I did not stay at the Palace me..." Complains in its turn the princess.
The team finally arrived at stairs to rise to the surface, missed eventually to be crushed by the stone ball that blocks the underground passage.
"Damn , that was close! "Said Lebeau breath, posing the box floor.
"The people who created this place really do not want anyone seizes the jewels! "Said Mariana.
"There are only the open ..."Jacques add.
Giving a great sword stroke, the box opens in shock to reveal a beautiful red gems, having the same size as one of the location of his sword.
"Here ... the jewels of Astana, she's beautiful!"Said Mariana.
"My congratulations to have found what I was looking for so long! "Said a man dressed as a warrior outfit with a black armor and a red cape advancing and applauding.
"You!I recognize you .. you are the one who have attacked my world! "Louis Responds furious, immediately pointing his Famas in his direction, quickly followed by his friends. "This time I would not miss you bastard! "Placing the firing selector on one round mode.
"Kruger Vanguard to be exact, and if I were you, I would not use magic, you just are not enough! "Says Kruger, confident.
"Right now there only you in this hall! "Responds Louis.
"This is what you believe ..." said the man with the cape, raising his right arm, fifty warrior soon appear out of their hiding equipped with crossbow, sword and spear, they had been hidden by the man dressed all in black with a hood that is a wizard.
"Shit, I knew that I had felt more! "Said Brucue.
"So, I leave you the choice, give me the sword and jewels and I let you leave alive! "
"You lie like a tooth-puller! "Simply Responds Louis, though he is well aware of the danger, 5 against 50 even with their weapons and half a goddess who has not yet shown its power, they do not come out unscathed.
"I swear I'm not lying! "Assure Kruger.
"We do what boss, I would say to be polite that one is in a crappy situation! "Said Jacques, who tries to keep a sense of humor.
The jewels and sword, they can protect you ...
"The voice is the same as when I took the sword the first time ..."Louis closes his eyes for a moment displaying a smile and respond.
"Okay, I give you the sword and jewels, I hope you will keep speaking." Say Louis, raising his FAMAS on the ground and takes the jewels in his right hand, though keeping his sword in his left hand.
"You have my word ..." But he said to his warrior. "Spare on him but get rid of the other two males, the girls will be your gifts! "Said the enemy lieutenant with a sadistic smile, knowing full well what fate his men reserve the woman in this world.
"Hey asshole, finally I've been thinking, and I think I'll keep the sword for me! "He said, placing the jewels in a location of the sword that suddenly starts to shine with a blue glow, dazzling his companions.
"You signed your death warrant, kill them all! »Orders Lieutenant surprised and furious, immediately an arrow cloud are drawn towards the group which flows on the ground to protect themselves when three luminous blue arc cut the arrows in an instant.
"Like a famous said, you shall not pass!"Lebeau said to Kruger and his men.
"What?"
AC /DC Shoot to thrill
"These people with me are not just soldiers, it is more than that to me ..." Said the captain of a icy voice. "They are friends, my family and in my country we do not touch the family! "He said, lifting his head, his eyes became red and a kind of aura covers its body."And for that, I'll kill you all!"
"Captain, what happens to you?"Request Jacques surprised.
"When I would have killed 20, you can attack too! "Responds Louis just seems like possessed, putting himself running towards the barbarians still in shock, his sword in his left hand and his gun in his right hand.
"What are you waiting for kill, attack! "Their orders Kruger, then ten warrior throw Lois to attack that kill them by cutting the body in half with a stroke of vertical sword
" Too slow... "
"He just cut them as if they were paper sheet! "Said the princess impressed.
"I feel it will pleasing me much! "Adds Mariana preparing for the fight.
The other warrior trying to impale him with their spears, but he uses it to project into the air, preventing new arrows and make a hole in the roof by giving a powerful blow with his sword that generated a huge blue lights that pierce the roof, a dozen other warrior are eventually crushed and killed or injured by the roof rubble while achieving a front somersault and killing two barbarians shooting them in the head.
"AAARGH ! "Shout the barbarians before being crushed under the stone.
"Hell, if the others saw that! "Jacques said a completely bewildered by what his captain."That crazy!"
"It's really too easy do not you think? "Said Louis, who was then found on the roof, soon joined by the black enemy sorcerer which has for weapon two in-curved sword.
"I see the Japanese style has also spread here, I think I over to have fun ..." The two warrior therefore engage in a duel with swords on a roof that threatens to collapse.
Meanwhile his team attacks the surviving and disoriented warriors , Jacques empty his loaders on a warrior charges, while Brucue kill with his sword and his bow and sometimes with his sharp claws, the princess did her best and showing her skills with a sword, the rage helping her and killing five enemy warrior.
"That's for trying to give myself up to the enemy! "She said removing her sword from the chest of a dead "And that's for all the innocent and defenseless people and my brave soldiers you attacked without mercy! "She said by killing another barbarian cutting off his head.
Mariana uses this basin fountains to throw water attack on ten barbarians who are dying either drowned or be skewered on his trident with which She has fun.
"So taste the power of Naiad, water goddess!"
Meanwhile other barbarians came to help their companions in trouble, while seeing the battle turn in another defeat, Kruger ran as quietly as possible.
"On the other guest, cool! "Said Mariana.
"The bastard he fled! What a coward! "Cry Jacques, reloading his FAMAS."COME BACK HERE!"He scream to him.
Meanwhile on the rooftop duel between two swordsmen continues, since the beginning of the fight Kwuan swordsman did not say a word, keeping calm, Louis jumped on the warrior to give him a sword thrust but the Kwuan blocks his attack crossing his two swords, forcing our French to retreat.
"I never face warrior like you! "Said the Kwuan, his mouth being masked by a black scarf.
"You're tougher than most of your companions! "Louis respond impressed.
"These are not my friends, but I never said no to a significant sum of money! "Responds the mercenary attack as sending an illuminating Lebeau giving away a sword thrust, dazzling our soldier is at this point that the swordsman attack, thus Louis grabs his pistol to shoot more shot fire on the warrior is hit two twice, on the chest and on the shoulder.
"A mercenary huh, kill for profit it disgusts me!"He said, reloading his gun.
"Argh ... congratulations, you're the first warrior who managed to hurt me ... even the best knight of the kingdom has never held so long in front of me! "Declare the warrior, clutching his shoulder covered with blood.
You have to fight more easily, being a mercenary you do not have the weight of a nation on your shoulders to defend, and I would be the first to kill you in this case! "Responds Louis sarcastically, pointing his gun at the head of the swordsman.
"It will be a next time ha ha ha! "Said the warrior by throwing on the ground what looks like a smoke bomb used by ninja like in the movie Louis bothered by the smoke opened fire to try to touch him but when the smoke clears, his opponent has disappeared, will remain as a puddle of blood, when the roof starts to shake."We will meet again, you can be sure of that!"Lebeau said smiling.
"This building is now as stable as the Greek economy, I should not stay here ..." Notes Louis, jumping into the hole he created.
Meanwhile in the room the last barbarians were eliminated after a hard fight, when the building wall begin to tremble.
"The building will collapse, where is the captain?" Ask Jacques to the others.
"Right here my friend! "Louis responds appearing before him. "It was quite a struggle the above, I think I'll ..." He said before collapsing on the ground obviously very tired by the struggle he has led.
" Captain ! "Howl Jacques worried when the roof pieces begin to fall, immediately Brucue seizes the captain and he placed him on his back and all out speed of the building when it collapsed in a violent crash and creating a great cloud of dust.
"This is hunter 1, we are on position above the temple where the rest of SRG1 is located, oh no this one just fall apart! "Said horrified the pilot of the gazelle.
" What ? And the Captain and the others, they had time to get out from the temple? "Hijikoto Request panicked.
"I do not know wait, the cloud of dust dissipates ... yes I see them, four no five persons! The captain is carried by Brucue it seems unconscious, but they are all alive! »Observe satisfied the pilot, praised by the group, who are joined by the rest of the team, the captain is embarking on the VAB.
One day later, 25 September 2015, Royal Palace of Dinswark, Guests quarters, 11H00
Having slept for almost an entire day and with difficulty opening the eyes, Louis gets up with a headache in a big bed, noting that it is in a beautifully decorated room with wooden furniture and white wall with royal emblems of all forms of yellow and two large window with red curtain letting in the sunshine, and him carrying civilian clothes.
"But what happened, where I am, to the palace? "He looks around rising from bed and sees a new uniform folded on a chair, so he decides to change when after finishing to change a person enters the room, it is Jacques and princess.
"Louis you finally woke up! "Said a delighted Jacques to see his standing friend.
"Lebeau I was so worried! "Said the princess, throwing himself into the captain's arm, slightly embarrassed.
"Yes yes I'm fine princess, thank you! "Said Louis blushed, feeling the chest of the princess against him in a mocking look of his friend, then comes the rest of his team that enters the room.
"Looks like our captain regained all its capacity! "Said Mohamed smiling.
"I'd like to be in his place! "Chris said in its turn.
"Maybe a royal weeding a day!"Charles said.
"Band of perverts..." Say softly Lynette and Geraldine.
"It is rather jealous I think! "Said Ulrich.
"I think too! "Responds Simon.
"Captain, we are all happy to see you healthy!"Kuto said.
"Me too, my friends, glad to see you all safe and sound, but to be honest I have almost no memory, all I remember is me when I placed the jewels and that s sword is illuminated, where is my sword?"
"The general preferred to be brought back to the base for extra security, and it happened in the temple as you became possessed ... and you fought the enemy swordsman after killing about twenty barbarians with your magical sword with ease! "Tell Jacques.
"Seriously I did all that? Yes, I remember that warrior, besides being a swordsman is also a magician or wizard! "He said, amazed at what he achieved."And about their leader? "
"He managed to escape to, just like the one you faced on a dragon, and unfortunately our helicopters are not able to follow them long, lack of fuel! "Jacques adds.
"I hope we can put them out of state to harm these two, although the lieutenant is a coward ..." said Louis.
"We all hope, and the king to thank us for what we did to his people wants to invite us to eat! "Kuto said.
