Sora was just now arriving at the meeting point where he left Olga and Chloe with the horse so that they would not be seen by anyone for fear of being discovered and try to arrest them, and when he reached the place he could not see the two, but a few seconds later he heard the sound of a whistle and looked from where it originated and saw some groves.
"So there they are" He thought as he loaded the box of supplies he had purchased and headed in the direction of the trees.
Olga and Chloe were now covered by the white cloths to hide their appearance and just watched as Sora already had the supplies for the journey they would make to reach the main city of Feoh.
"Apparently he didn't get ripped off, that's lucky" Chloe commented as she looked at the box Sora was carrying.
By this time Sora had arrived and placed the box of supplies on the floor.
"Good job Sora" Olga said as she looked at the box of supplies "Something tells me we have enough food for the whole trip."
"So what now" Sora commented, looking at Olga and Chloe "Shall we eat?" she asked.
"First let's get away from the village and when we are at a safe distance we will eat" Olga said, even if she was hungry they first had to get away from the village so that they would not be seen by the locals.
"Eh makes sense, Here" Said Sora tossing two Water Flasks ah Olga and Chloe "At least you can have some water while we move on".
Olga and Chloe just looked at the canteens in their hands and looked at Sora and then at the box that was still closed.
"To clarify I got them legally by helping someone" Este commented with a smile "Drink later I'll have some water".
Without thinking twice Olga and Chloe prepare to drink the water from the canteens because, although they would not admit it, they were thirsty and before Chloe could drink she is stopped by Olga.
"Chloe I know you are thirsty, but for now avoid drinking all at once save some for the trip" I comment is to her protégé.
"Yes Olga Sama" Chloe said.
At that the two took a small portion to at least kill their thirst and before Sora picked up the box of supplies and took it to the carriage she was stopped by Olga who was giving her her canteen.
"Drink you must be thirsty" Olga said trying to give her canteen to Sora so that he would at least drink some water.
"Easy Olga I'm fine, you two are what need that water the most" Said Este politely refusing Olga's canteen "Besides when we are in a safe place there we will eat and I will drink some water even I will cook myself."
"Do you know how to cook?" asked Chloe a little surprised by Sora's words.
"Of course I know how to cook on my last trip I have learned thanks to a friend of mine" Said Sora.
"It makes sense that you cook after all you are a traveler" Olga commented not surprised that Sora knows how to cook, after all a traveler must know many things, such as surviving the forests, at least have medical knowledge and besides cooking if you didn't have any of those knowledge like others you would die without more
"Well you have some surprises eh Sora" Chloe could only say to the Sword Key bearer but this one fell silent as she looked at Sora smiling "Why are you smiling?" she asked.
"You just called me by my name Chloe" Sora replied still smiling "And not human or idiot."
At that Chloe only blushed for having said Sora's name "Of course I called you by your name you idiot, but that won't happen again, I understand" she said pointing her finger at Sora while he only laughed a little nervous because of Chloe's attitude.
Olga just looked at this and could only laugh a little, Chloe was someone serious and a bit cold with many individuals and never behaved this way in public, but when she was with someone she trusted she would change her attitude to someone more friendly and all like that.
"But Olga's words would be interrupted when a small explosion could be heard in the south of the city.
Sora and Chloe turned their gaze to the south and saw a good amount of smoke in the sky.
"Something's not right" Olga thought seriously.
And before Chloe and Sora could say a word at that, shouts could be heard from the village and quickly the Trio looked at the village which was beginning to smoke as the screams of the people began to be heard much louder.
"What the hell!" Sora exclaimed in Shock at what was happening in the village he was in earlier.
Location: Town - Few minutes ago
The Captain was now in the courtyard of the fortress preparing to inspect the soldiers who would have to go to the border to watch for enemy movement and more if they found a messenger from the Black Dogs if they brought a message from Vault even so when they arrived at the central courtyard of the fortress it seemed strange to see that many soldiers were stationed in the central courtyard.
"Hey" said the captain looking at one of the soldiers in the yard "Why are there a good bunch of you in the yard don't you have other things to do?" asked the captain.
"I'm sorry Captain, but the lieutenant said for us to be here on site, he said he had to warn us about something" Explained a soldier to his captain about the reason most of them were here.
"Why on earth does Lieutenant Marius want these men here?" she thought a bit puzzled "Thank you soldier I'll talk to Marius right now".
The Soldier just nodded and went with his comrades to wait for Lieutenant Marius to say.
The Captain could see Lieutenant Marius on the walls talking to some soldiers, she went to the walls to talk to her lieutenant and while she was going up the aforementioned was talking to his soldiers about a subject in question.
"Prepare the troops in a minute everything will start" Marius said to his two soldiers.
"Yes sir" Said the Soldier as he retreated with his partner to alert others of his lieutenant's plan.
Marius could only smile and everything was ready for the great coup de grace they were about to give, but his thoughts were interrupted by a shout from a certain person.
"MARIUS" exclaimed the captain looking at her lieutenant.
"Ah Captain Elizabeth" Marius commented looking at the Woman who was his leader "What do you need from me or why are you here?"
"Or you know very well why I am here" Said The captain known as Elizabeth looking at her lieutenant "Can you explain to me why the hell there are almost Ninety or Hundred men in the main courtyard" Pointing to the soldiers on the spot "You know very well they must be patrolling or working to guard the town we are on the border for the love of the Goddess."
"I'm sorry Captain, but they will only be there for a while, I just have to say something to them and then they will go on with their work" Marius commented with a smile.
"No, you won't tell them anything" Elizabeth said with a serious look at her lieutenant "You know very well that the only one who can gather the people how to give the warnings is me Marius and no one else or did you forget who is in charge of the Fortress."
"Lose" Marius commented and at that he looked at his Captain "But you have the position because you are from a noble family."
"And so are you Marius you are from the most important noble families of Feoh, but unlike you I was never a Slacker when we were in officer schools, if you really wanted to be the Captain of this fortress you would have worked harder, but you just went partying with those friends of yours, even to those sleazy streets for some Prostitutes" Elizabeth commented "I still wonder how you passed school and made it to lieutenant Marius you were better off staying as a sergeant."
"Heh if you want I can tell you how I got to that rank Elizabeth" Marius commented with a smile approaching Elizabeth "But first there is one thing to do" At that he looked at the sky and then at the archers and they seeing the lieutenant just nodded.
"Marius I told you that you will not give that warning, if it is so important I will give it myself" Said Elizabeth already tired she needed to send those Hundred men back to their work on patrols and before she could talk to the men, she could hear an explosion and quickly looked at the sky and saw a red smoke "That was... A warning of an attack?" she asked a little puzzled as she saw the red smoke in the sky.
Marius quickly grabs the captain, preventing her from moving and surprising her.
"MARIUS WHAT THE FUCK" Elizabeth exclaimed angrily as she saw that her lieutenant was holding her back.
"O my dear Elizabeth the revolution has begun" Marius said with a smile and quickly gives the signal and the archers who were in the quickly fire their arrows at the soldiers who were in the main courtyard.
"NOOOO" Elizabeth exclaimed in horror as she saw the Archers shooting and killing her men.
"LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN AND LET VAULT AND HIS BLACK DOGS CREATE THE EMPIRE WE DESERVE!" Marius shouted to his troops
All the men Loyal to the lieutenant could only cheer for joy and quickly directed their forces to the town, they had a lot of things to do.
Elizabeth was no fool, she could see that Marius and the men under his command were traitors.
"You will pay for that Marius" Said Elizabeth with venom towards her former lieutenant "Alicia as well as the other princesses and our Goddess will punish you for this act of treachery"
Marius could only laugh at his former Captain's threats "To my Captain Elizabeth believe me I am not the only traitor" Stroking Elizabeth's hair and starting to grope her breasts "While my men round up the women and kill any fool who tries to get in their way, you and I do not have fun in your bed my Captain".
At those words Elizabeth tried to escape, but it was useless and Marius began to drag her to his room so he could rape her, if someone was going to take Elizabeth's virginity he would be the first and then he would give it to his men so they could enjoy the leftovers.
In the Village - Present
Everything was chaos and destruction the villagers did not understand what was happening, their soldiers those who swore to protect them were now burning some businesses, while taking women, while others were dragged to some buildings, and those men who wanted to protect their partners, sisters and daughters were killed by the edge of the swords of the soldiers without mercy.
"COME ON MEN CLAIM YOUR PRIZE" shouted one of the soldiers to his comrades as he ransacked the entire town.
The soldiers could only cheer at the words of their comrade and continue with the looting at which point one of the soldiers had caught a young woman between sixteen and seventeen years of age with a nice body.
"But look what we have here" Commented the Soldier with a smile looking at the young girl who was just crying "Man you will be the first one to satisfy me and at the same time I will turn you into a woman."
The girl tried to escape and ask for help even so no one helped and this was dragged by the soldier to a more private place to rape her, but before this could reach its destination this received by an arrow in the chest, this soldier in shock could only look at the arrow that had hit his chest, but this was not a normal arrow if it was not an arrow made of wind.
"What the..." Before the soldier could finish his words he disappears in particles of light.
The young woman was silenced by what had happened and quickly looks on the rooftops to see who shot the arrow and sees a young man her age with a serious look and a strange golden bow, the young man yells at her to try to escape to the west or hide until all this chaos is over and he quickly moves across the rooftops heading deeper into town.
The traitorous soldiers continued to loot the structures while dragging the poor women to lock them up and later raping them, while the men who fought were killed and others were captured to be slave labor in the empire of Vault and the black dogs.
"Ha couldn't even put up a fight" commented a soldier sneering over the corpse of an old man who tried to defend his daughter.
"For now drag our next whore" Commented another soldier as he pointed to a woman in her Thirties crying, but at the same time scared to see that the soldiers had their eyes on her.
"Good" Commented the Soldier who had killed the old man approaching the old man's daughter "Alright woman you better come with me" He said with a smile.
The woman tried to escape, but the soldier grabbed her right arm, preventing her from escaping, and to her horror, the soldier was groping her breasts.
"Right now I will make you mine" Said the Soldier looking at the woman with a macabre smile.
But before the soldier could take the woman away, he was hit by an arrow in his head, causing him to fall and disappear in particles of light.
The soldiers who were in the place were silent, but at the same time surprised by this and before they could look at the person responsible, multiple arrows hit them, ending their lives and disappearing in particles of light without leaving traces of their corpses.
The woman was silent and looked at the place where the arrows came from and looked at a young man with a golden bow with a serious look on his face and he addressed her.
"Are you all right?" asked the young man looking at her with concern.
"Yes " He could only reply at the young man's words.
"I'm glad, you have to go to the west of the village there I could at least open a breach ending with the enemies guarding the place, even so, try to run as fast as possible" commented the young man.
The woman wanted to escape, but then she looked at the corpse of her father and did not want to leave him, while the young man only looked at the woman and saw the lifeless body of the old man and he just closed his eyes and clenched his fists, but quickly removed those thoughts and touched the woman.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of them, you better escape from this place, that person sacrificed his life because you were someone special to him, isn't that right?" said the young man.
The woman just nodded with tears in her eyes "It was my father tried to defend me...but they just killed him just like that. ...if you can save this town please do it".
Before those words the young man could only look ahead, and he could hear the screams of the people and the pain they were suffering "I will do it" And before he could leave, he was stopped by the woman he saved.
"Who are you?" asked the woman looking at her Savior.
At those words the young man just looked at her and smiled "I am Sora and I am a hero" and he jumped and the woman watched as Sora was shining in a blue aura and running fast and leaving a small trail of blue energy.
As Sora was running through the village, he could not help but remember the events of the past.
Minutes Before
Sora together with Olga and Chloe were watching the destruction of the town and could hear the screams of people trying to escape from that place, Sora wanted to go quickly to the place to help the people, but before he could run he was stopped by Olga herself.
"I don't think it's a good idea to go Sora" I comment she is very serious looking at the Sword Key Bearer.
At those words Sora looks at the Queen with a look of Anger "What do you mean!" I exclaim in an annoyed tone looking at Olga.
At Sora's angry look, Olga could only sigh "Sora right now what we saw was a warning sign of attack" at that she looked in one direction "obviously the town started to fall into chaos when that sign appeared, what makes me think is that right now the Black Dogs have gone ahead and are attacking right now the city of Feoh like the other two towns."
At these words Sora was silenced by this revelation.
"Apparently Vault went ahead with the attack although I think he had it planned all along" Chloe commented a bit seriously and looked at the town "And apparently he was able to convince a good amount of people to join his cause, even soldiers of the Seven Shields alliance to betray their homeland" looking at the town that was in total chaos.
"As you said Chloe that Bastard had everything planned to give a big blow not only to me but also to the same Princesses like Celestine" Olga said in a very annoyed tone "We have to move eh go to Feoh quickly, if there are traitors in the villages no need to be a genius that there are also traitor soldiers in the city, if we do not hurry may this same fall and our only option to be able to contact Celestine herself disappears"
"How long do you think they'll hold out?" Chloe commented to her Queen.
"I don't know, but I'll give them until the afternoon" Olga replied seriously "Sora nec... "But before she could finish her words Sora quickly headed for town with great speed in order to help the people "O by all the Gods" She exclaimed annoyed to see that he was gone.
Sora was using a part of his magic to increase his speed in addition to using the Flotwmotion skill to get ahead quickly to reach the village, it took him about five minutes to arrive and quickly looked with horror as many soldiers had killed a good number of men, most were elderly and some adults while others who were young and almost his age and some children were taken to make them slaves and perhaps future soldiers for the Great Vault Empire.
At that one of the soldiers looked at Sora and smiled "Look here's another one" He said with a smile and preparing his sword "What do I do with him?" He asked looking at his companions
"Kill him, we have enough slave labor" commented another soldier while dragging a crying child.
"Well if you say so" Commented the soldier with a smile and before he could attack Sora he was surprised to see that he had disappeared without a trace "Hey where did he go?" he asked a little puzzled, but before he could look for him he heard the sound of people falling to the ground and he looked back and what left him in shock and fear.
The young man he saw before was now standing behind him with a very strange key-shaped sword, yet behind him were his fallen comrades and their bodies one by one were disappearing in particles of light, but the most frightening thing was the boy's face that showed only anger.
"Qu... "But before he could finish the Young man rushes towards him and this one tried to use his sword to defend himself and when his weapon as the strange weapon of the boy collided, his sword had been split in half and this one was cut by the strange weapon, but he could never see the blood he could only feel a cut nothing and after that he could only close his eyes and plunged into eternal sleep even so where would the nightmare go it would be eternal.
Sora had managed to finish with all the soldiers and more those who had taken hostage the young people and children, in that sigh he tried to look for survivors among the adults, but in the end they were all dead.
"Damn" He thought angrily at that he looked at the children as young people "Are you all right?" He asked looking at the group of young people and children totaling twenty-two people in the place.
"Said a boy of only eight years old, looking at Sora.
"Thank you for rescuing us" Said a young woman who appeared to be fifteen years old.
At those words Sora could only sigh in relief, yet she looked ahead and saw the screams of people calling for help and before she could go any further into the village she was stopped by a voice.
"Seriously you're an idiot you didn't know" Said a voice.
At those words Sora looks behind her and sees Olga and Chloe with white hoods created by the fabrics Chloe took to hide her as their queen along with the horse that had the cart and the box of supplies, yet Chloe had a very angry look while Olga had a serious look.
The teenage-like young men looked at the two hooded women, missing them a bit because of their clothing.
"How did they get here so fast?" asked Sora looking at the two mentioned and curious to see that they got here so fast.
"I had to use my Teleportation spell again, even so, as it was a place not so far away, I didn't spend much magic, even so, I'm a bit sore and tired" Olga replied.
At those words Sora couldn't help but feel a little guilty "Olga I'm sorry for making you use your magic, but I can't let these people suffer, if I can save them I will" he commented.
Before Chloe could say anything she is stopped by Olga and he looks at Sora "I understand what you want to do Sora, but with every minute we are here, Feoh's capital is under attack and we don't know how long the siege will last."
"Olga I am aware of what is going on and I know very well, but I cannot leave these people to their fate if I at least have a chance to save them I will" Sora said in a serious tone looking at the queen.
With those words Olga just sighed "I don't think it will change your mind really. . .well save the town and tell the villagers you saved, try to come here to the west of town, me and Chloe will be covering your retreat."
When he said those words both Chloe and Sora could not help but be surprised.
"WHAT!" They both shouted
"Olga Sama is sure of that" Chloe commented, surprised and shocked by what her queen said.
"Olga Why?" asked Sora also surprised by the words of the Queen of the dark elves.
at the surprised look of the two teenagers Olga only sighed "Sora you are someone who cares about others, although it is good I must say it can also be used against you, besides if you free villagers they will try to escape anywhere and who says they will not find enemy soldiers in their attempt to escape, besides I do it because it is to pay you for the seven Elves, what I made you do is horrible and although it was an act to end their suffering it is still a murder I had to do, but in the end you did it to give them a quick death without pain"
When Olga mentioned the Seven Elves Sora could only clench his fists, he still felt guilt for not being able to save them, but at least he calmed down when he saw that Olga and Chloe would cover the retreat of the villagers.
"Thank you Olga" He said and looked at the young people and children "Get out of town and try to hide in the trees if I don't come in fifteen or twenty minutes escape to a safe place my friends will cover your escape".
"Who said we're his friends" Chloe thought annoyed.
At these words the young people and children looked at Sora and then looked at the two Elves and without a second thought they left the village to hide in the trees for the time being.
"Well I'll go ahead" Said Sora and before he could leave.
"Sora as I said before the time we waste here, even if you save the lives of this village in Feoh Capital as in the two villages lives are being lost, you must understand that you can't save them all" Olga said in a serious tone.
At these words Sora could only nod and advanced towards the center of town.
Back to the present
Sora now kept moving through the streets finishing with the soldiers that were found and giving a direction to those she rescued to go west there they could escape plus two of her friends would be covering her retreat, even so, when she saved people they were only adult women as young girls and boys, no adult men because all she found were no longer alive.
At that he remembered Olga's words "I know I can't save them all, but I'll still do my best" He thought with a determined look on his face.
END OF CHAPTER
Well friends
I hope you liked the Chapter, besides, some of you have sent me a message telling me to give Sora a Harem... And I will keep on saying, Sora will not have a Harem in this fic, but that will not prevent future interested women from trying to seduce him.
There will be funny as well as uncomfortable moments for our sword wielder XD
