“Burning Stike!”

Gawn smashed a goblins head with Mace of Victory.

Gawn: “That was the last one.”

The prisoned players saw a young player had just killed several monsters, accompanied by two more. He smashed the lock of the door with his axe, breaking it, entering the cell were some players were. A girl stood up, Gawn saw in her clothes, upon her left arm, The Wings of Freedom, the symbol of Pendragon Court, other of the clearing guilds. She spoke with plain voice.

“Who are you?”

“We are the Royal Knights. We have come to set you free.”

“Impossible, how did you manage to enter.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Your guild is not the only one with high level players. But now is not the time to for conversation.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance turned and talked to his teammates.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Elicia, see the ones on the other cells free. Bors, search for the keys for their shackles.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Elicia went to the other cells breaking the lock, with her Katana.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“They are on the on the table near the floor.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “what of the weapons.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“On the armory, near the entrance of the dungeon. But it is kept by locked key. ”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors: “I will go.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors grabbed the keys and tossing them to Gawn. He ran to the entrance while grabbing Vulcanus Wrath to open the door by smashing it. Gawn got near them and used the keys to free them from the shackles. Other girl member of Pendragon Court got up as she spoke.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Do you have a plan? At least.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He continued to free the others on the cell.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“No I do not, I am just here to free you.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kana: “what kind of leader are you then?!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn stopped liberating the prisoners and got up. He did not like what the girl had just told him, and looked seriously.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “Girls what is your name?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Diana.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Kana.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “If you are the two higher levels of this room, I would need your aid to get all out from here.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kana: “I am sorry.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “See yourselves to weapons.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Diana: “Yes.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Diana began to walk to the Armory, while Kana continued looking Gawn who went back to what he was doing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Move legs, sister.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “I am not the leader of the Royal Knights that is why. “

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kana: “what?” <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif";mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “I follow Galant.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant jumped avoiding an attack form the sub-boss right in front of him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Thollbrad: “Galant, you seem to have learned a few things since we last meet each other.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant once gain attacked him, while his girlfriend and best friend face two Orcs and the same time, difficult battle. A simple way to define an orc, imagining a Goblin using steroids. They were much larger, stronger, taller and of higher level than them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere and Lance continued to attack them, yet while being outnumbered, they soon began to lose their HP while Galant fought at equal level with Cerdic’s right hand man. Galant thought is his two teammates. They thought powerful, could just face an Orc at the time. His distraction cost him, as he was briefly hit by the back of Thollbrad’s axe, sending him to the wall and leaving a hole similar to a crater upon it. And then felt to the floor.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“It seems the leader of the Royal Knights will fall!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant got up and smiled to his enemy.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “Not today.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant used Stardust Slasher tow times, hitting two of the Orcs that were attacking Lance and Guinevere, who felt back next to him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Leave thought the hole. I will hold them back for as long as I am able.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere looked at him for a brief second totally disapproving his idea.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “No, I stay by your side.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “GO!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “Galant no…”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “Lance.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Reluctantly, Lance grabbed Guinevere by her back, and while she screamed, he jumped to the hole. They two felt down rapidly, en the end they smashed in the floor of the dungeon. Elicia rushed to help them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Elicia: “Are you two okay?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “I just need a potion, Eli. I will be all right.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn got near the team.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “Where is Galant?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “Lance left him to die on the room upwards.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">She still had not got up. She was on the floor with her body on the ground and tears on her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “I but did as commanded. I DID NOT WISH THIS!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “And still you left your best friend to die on the room??!!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “There is no time to fall to quarrel! We must be ready for battle. Lance, you are at command now.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “Is everybody ready?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kana: “We are.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “Then the attack starts right now. Royal Knights on me, the rest be right behind us. Get ready for blood, battle and vengeance.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The Players ran to the bridge connecting the two parts of the facility. All of them, with weapons on their hands ready to escape the castle at any cost. Upon way, other Sub-boss appeared. He had a silver and crimson armor, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He carried a sword on the right side of his armor, and a knife on his right boot.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“You are not going anywhere, players.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “Hagen.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors rushed to him, smashing his body to the wall and holding him back.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors: “GO! I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The rest of the guild rushed to the bridge and went to the door.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen: “You stupid human, you think you will hold me back!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He began to elbow and knee the Knight. Bors strength lasted until all the players had passed. He felt to his knees. Hagen looked at him and smiled. He drew his sword and prepared to stab him. Bors drew his knuckle dusters and blocked the downwards slash, and punched the sub-boss on the stomach.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“That is the best you can do?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors fisted him on the face. Hagen responded with a powerful kick to the chest, sending Bors several meter from him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“It seems you are not as weak as you seem human. Let us see what you capable of!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors: “you will see it right now!” <p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif";mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors sheathed back his knuckle dusters and drew Vulcanus Wrath, clashing against Hagen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif";mso-ansi-language:EN-US">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Meanwhile, the players were in front of the door.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “Gawn, explosives! Let us breach this god damned door!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn registered his menu and took out some explosives. He gave some to Guinevere who helped him.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “It’s done!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “At your mark. PLAYERS GET READY!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn pushed the button blowing the door, and sending its parts to the entrance of the facility. On the other side, the goblins were on formation in front of the door, about to engage battle with the prisoners and the ones who had come to free them. The huge explosion sent several of them to the air, other being smashed by the pieces of the door.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">And so the player entered into a salvage display of anger and vengeance. Lance of the front stepped on the face of a globin on the floor, killing it and advanced leading the player to battle. Then continued his race and slashed other right on the face, while Elicia, Gawn, and Guinevere followed him on battle ramming through what was left of the frontline of the monsters.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn rammed his axe to a goblin smashing its face. Right on his back Kana killed other thanks to her swiftness and agility.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “I think this compensates your slip of the tongue, little girl.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Kana: “I hope so.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn: “LOOK OUT!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Gawn saw an archer from the wall, about to shoot her. Gawn threw his axe to it, the arrow was still shoot, but to other goblin instead.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“You still owe me one.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He laughed as they two continued to fight the remaining monsters.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Elicia sliced the throat of other goblin, as she fought near Lance, who using Raijin no Seiken, Killed two goblins at once. Elicia, managed to cut a goblin’s hand, it then rammed to her with the intention of choking, her. She could not slice it with her katana which fell to the ground after the hit of the monster. He drew her Knife, and stabbed it right on the lower side of the jaw, as the weapon came out of its head, covered in red. Lance approached her ad got her up.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “are you alright?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Elicia: “I am, I can continue.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “You should take more care of her Lance.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere sliced in half a Goblin with Stardust slashed, and continued her all out rampage, killing several monsters, born out of a raging state.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “ADVANCE AND SEE VICTORY OURS!”

<p class="MsoNormal" style="border-style:none;padding:0cm;"><span style="font-family:Hevaltica,serif;"> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen’s sword and Vulcanus Wrath crossed in an unstoppable clash of energies. Hagen slashed twice on a row, which Bors parried using the handle of the hammer, blocking it several times, and kicking Hagen on the chest.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“But not enough.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He fisted him once more, but Bors avoided it, and grabbed his arm and casted several punches to his face, getting the crown out of his head.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Bors: “So I can say of you.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen kicked Bors on the stomach once, partly liberating his arm, but Bors once again grabbed it. The sub-boss once again kicked him. Bors managed to grab his kick and throw them both to the ground. They two got up.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen kicked Bors two times as he raised bout arms in guard position to block both strikes. He attempted to stab Bors on the face, but he eluded to the right, as Hagen sliced to the right, he once again avoided.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">She was kicked by other, falling to the ground as the Goblin was ready to smash her with the sword, other pierced though the face of the monster,  shattering  polygons revealing, the killer:Galant. Guinevere shocked by the sight as she got up and hugged Galant.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Guinevere: “Idiot, idiot, idiot. Why you did you do it?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “I did what had to be done. I am sorry.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant then hugged her. As tear of happiness and sadness, came out of her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance slices the body and the throat of a monster.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “VICTORY!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">A huge roar was made by the players. A felling of excitement. They were free, and ready for continuing their journey.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance looked around, and saw Galant, he ran to him. As the rest of the knights also gathered near him, glad to see that he was still alive.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “How are you...”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “Alive? I just managed to escape.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “That means Thollbrad is dead?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant waked to the bridge, followed by the Royal Knights as the players continued to cheer Lance as the victor of the battle. Fuuurinkazan and the two archers soon were followed them. Galant stopped. At the other side of the bridge, there were Thollbrad and Hagen, who seemed to have escalated up once again the bridge. Accompanying them, 40 Orcs, ready for battle. All the players looked at them as Al the Orcs roared, overpassing the cheers and excitement.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Thollbrad: “Well done, Royal Knights.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “Same cannot be said of you. If you dare to cross this bridge, you are dead.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen: “That stands as menace?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “A warning. Give message Cerdic from me.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Thollbrad: “I am one of the leaders of Cerdic’s Army, not a messenger of a boy, and much less of a human shit.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Hagen: “KILL THEM!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The orcs began to advance to kill the players, ready to start other huge slaughter. Galant though it as a loss of time to even tell them not to do it. He peacefully putted his hand on the pocket, and took something it out. He pressed the button and the Colum of the bridge blew, sending all the monster of it to the river down, killing all. The bridge was reduced to nothing, forever separating the two parts of the facility. Just Thollbrad and Hagen were left alive.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “Send message to Cerdic: the Royal Knights are back!”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Thollbrad and Hagen looked to him with hartred, as they left their part of the castle.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant then left to one of the walls upper side. His men accompanied him, alongside Kana and Diana.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “what have you done inside of command center, once we were gone?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “I used Crescent Stardust Slasher several times, creating a square in the ceiling, part of it felt to their head’s, leaving them unable to move. I then searched for more Intel but did not find anything more. Then I went to the battle. You have made a great work leading the players, brother.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance: “Thanks. I did not know what to do. I thought you were dead. Guinevere is really mad at me.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant: “I will have word with her. In the meantime, I will speak to the player we are in need of more men to our army.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Galant turned to the players.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“Hello. I am Galant, leader of the Royal Knights, and the guild that has rescued you. Yet this battle is not to be awarded to me, but to my second in command and best friend, Lance.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Lance presented himself at Galant side, cheers and received from the crowd as response.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Hevaltica","serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">“This victory is the first one by far in the battle against Cerdic. Yet, while we were here, we were informed of the army of monsters, preparing an attack against the city of Ayres in two days the 3rd of August, due our army is preparing there. What I ask of all of you, is to follow me, if you so wish it: forge your own path; or join with us, and together WE SHALL SEE CERDIC’S ARMY FROM THIS WORLD!”
