Let’s shift the fight, Shields! March!
Faro shouted, ordering the Shield users as well as the other warriors.
Yes, Commander!
The Shield users then charged forward after Faro ordered them, they moved to offensive charge since they noticed that the Auden warriors are slowly decreasing and some of them aren’t even putting full effort into fighting so they all went offensive and charged forward.
Faro changed from his spear to his sword to quicken the fight.
They’re losing their spirits, this is sad, what has become of my hometown?
Faro thought, questioning himself as to why they’re all giving up.
They’re overwhelming our forces! Rangers!
The Auden’s Head shouts, ordering their rangers.
Their rangers then aimed at the Theist warriors to the sky to rain arrows at them.
They’re using their bows! Intercept them!
Suzy shouted, telling their rangers.
They then aimed their bows where the Auden’s rangers are aiming, when they released their arrows at the Theist warriors, the Theist rangers fired their arrows at the same time with Suzy’s indication, luckily, 87% of the arrows were prevented to reach the Theist warriors, the 13% were either dodged, blocked, and parried by the Theist warriors that are marching at the Auden’s warriors.
They intercepted it! I can’t believe their rangers are this skilled!
The Auden’s Head is already panicking after this.
Halt! Surround them! Don’t let them flee!
Faro shouted, ordering their warriors.
The Shield users then surrounded the Auden’s warriors together with the Auden’s Head, they didn’t expect Faro to do such an action.
Madam Suzy!
Faro shouted, calling her.
Suzy is already close to them with the rangers and support at the back to give them more reassurance, so she just heads in after he called her.
He’s calling the Heroine! This brat!
The Auden’s Head thought, he was shocked but he didn’t let that happen easily so he took out another spear to throw, but not for Suzy, but for Faro.
You annoying brat!
He shouted as he threw the spear at him.
Faro was not fast enough to dodge this so when Suzy stepped in, she parried and destroyed the spear for him.
Don’t you touch the Commander...
Suzy said, daring him after parrying his spear.
I guess she was called to face me, is that why she and Faro talked earlier?
The Auden’s Head thought, asking himself after seeing her.
The heroine of the Country, or should I say the whole Continent, you have been the most annoying warrior in this Gallant, I should say.
He called her after she arrived.
I am always an annoyance whenever the Gallant Battle arises, you know that full well, Head of the Auden Village.
Suzy said.
Hmm! So what’s it going to be, Heroine? What’s with this scheme?
The Auden’s Head asked her after shrugging her off.
If you don’t accept this challenge then we will kill you all no questions, but if you do, you alone, will be fighting me, alone, if I win, you will surrender and leave this battlefield.
Suzy offered, but the Auden’s Head interrupted her.
And if I win, you will surrender, and you, Suzy Tereus, will be moving to our village to become our guardian, because I can already tell we will not have a great time defending against you if you are here every Gallant Battle.
The Auden’s Head gave his price winning against her.
That’s way too many demands!
Faro shouted.
Why? She’s definitely far stronger than me so the best I could do is motivate myself to win against her, I can’t just lose something small against someone like Suzy Tereus, that will hurt my self-esteem even if there’s a small chance of me winning against her.
The Auden’s Head responded.
That’s fine by me, what can I lose anyway? I just have to move to your village.
Suzy said, agreeing to his offer.
She then took out her weapons and had them levitate above her, but she didn’t use one of them, she readied her stance, though this time, she didn’t just do a standing posture, but she did a fighting stance, unlike when she sparred against Faro.
So she wasn’t holding back that day?
Faro thought, asking himself.
Is she mocking me by not using any weapons? And had them all floating above her head to scare me?!
The Auden’s Head thought, shocked and infuriated.
Don’t you dare mock me!
He shouted, he then took out his sword and charged at Suzy.
I don’t care about his feelings, so he’s sticking with his sword for now?
Suzy thought, asking herself to make sure before she does any countermeasures.
She then fought the Auden’s Head with just her bare hands even though he has a weapon, though that’s not a problem for Suzy since she’s fighting a Faun, which is far weaker than a Metal being like Suzy.
I can’t hit her! She’s not just fast, but she’s weakening me with her light hits, but if they’re weakening, I guess they’re not light hits, so she’s aiming to weaken me in not just my spirit by flaunting those weapons, but she’s slowly weakening my body since my spirits are down, my defenses are down!
The Auden’s Head thought while fighting Suzy desperately.
He’s losing his balance slowly, which is a good thing, but I’m slowly weakening not just his muscles, but also his nerves to bring him down entirely without any effort unless he brings out his spear earlier, in which case, I have to weaken his body as much as possible before he does.
Suzy thought, while slowly beating him down.
That’s it!
The Auden’s Head shouts.
He then backed down for a split second, though Suzy gave him that time to recover, she quickly followed, but she anticipated this to happen.
Is he bringing out his spear?
Suzy thought, asking herself.
The Auden’s Head then took out his spear.
I’ve had enough of you!!!
He shouted after he had his spear.
He then attacked Suzy with it, but he didn’t take into consideration that Suzy was close enough to dodge that and grab hold of his spear, she didn’t just hold it away from her, but she broke his spear and took the end of it, where its blade is.
When she did, she stabbed his right chest, plunging it in his right lung.
*stab*
Do you surrender?
Suzy asked.
Euk…
The Auden’s Head then was pushed back and kneeled down as he tries to alleviate the pain of getting stabbed in his right chest.
Head…
Faro called the Head of the Auden Village after watching him get stabbed in the chest.
I can’t believe I wasn’t able to show my spear skills to you… *cough* I thought I would get my chance now… *ahem* I guess I’m too pretentious to think I can last against you with a sword.
The Auden’s Head said as he tries to compress his injuries while his feet are down.
The moment you didn’t choose your spear against me is your biggest downfall, even my brother and my Village knows that when they fight me, so demanding me to be your guardian is such a stretch seeing as you know now that I can singlehandedly destroy your Village starting from you, easily too since I don’t even need to use my weapons against you, so, let’s go back to the topic, surrender, or I kill you now, I think it should be better if you all survive here, you will need it to defend against the Country.
Suzy explained and she asked him again to surrender.
I guess I will, I am craving for a rematch soon, at least once I get my strength back, after this, I think I will have to rest a lot, you did a massive beat down on me, Heroine.
The Auden’s Head said after agreeing to surrender.
Then, you will run back to your village, I guess we will see each other again many years have passed, if you like a rematch, then don’t die.
Suzy said, telling him what to do.
One of the Auden warriors went to the Auden’s Head’s side to heal him.
*grunts* you don’t have to tell me twice, you stay alive as well, Heroine, because I will sure to kill myself just to get to you.
The Auden’s Head said as he gets up with the warriors’ assistance.
After their agreement, the Auden warriors returned home after surrendering to the North section of the Theist Country.
It is our victory.
Suzy told Faro.
She’s very aggressive over things like this, but it’s not as if I don’t hate that.
Faro thought.
We won!!!
Faro shouted as he raises his sword and declared their victory in defending against one of the Seven Ancient Villages.
They then returned inside the Theist Country after finishing the fight against the Auden Village, though they were supposed to defend against them, it’s the same thing since no one entered the Theist Country on their section.
They then celebrated their victory on the Country grounds in the North section.
I guess I will have to thank you for the victory, Suzy since, Head has never participated in the Gallant before so I don’t really know how I will fight him, and I just found out now that he’s actually a Spearman instead of a Swordsman, he’s the first warrior to train me in the sword, and it’s as if I was lied to after seeing him use a spear.
Faro explained while having a drink.
They’re currently feasting in the Country grounds with many of the warriors of the North section that participated in defending against the Auden Village.
You didn’t know he’s a Spearman, that’s weird since you should see through his skills that he’s not a Swordsman, I saw it quickly when he began attacking me.
Suzy said while she’s eating her food.
I noticed it now, now that I know the difference between a Spearman and a Swordsman, I was too young to know back then.
Faro responded.
After Suzy finished her meal, she drank her booze, though like before, she has lighter booze since she will also be defending the Zion Village against the Theist Country that will be attacking the Seven Ancient Villages.
Are the warriors for tomorrow ready?
Suzy asked Faro.
Yes, though why do you need to ask that?
Faro answered her and asked her back.
I am because I know that I helped you out a little bit with the preparation the other day, are you the one that will be organizing the attack tomorrow?
Suzy answered him back and then asked him again.
I won’t, I tapped out in attacking, that’s for the Generals to do since their task is to only attack the Villages until their warriors are out, or if they surrendered, me going there will be overkill.
Faro said, answering her question.
Well, that seems right, understandable, I guess I’ll be heading out of the Country now, the Zion Village needs me.
Suzy said, she then finished her drink and stood up from her chair to head back to the Zion Village.
And after she stood up, the General that will be organizing the attack in the North section arrived.
Oh, speaking of the devil, General Spud, this is the Madam Suzy Tereus, you know her as the Heroine of the Zao Thesis Continent.
Faro said, introducing General Spud to Suzy.
Good evening.
Suzy told him.
Good evening, Madam Suzy, though it may not come as a surprise for you since you’re the most known in the Country, I have read a book about you.
General Spud said.
Is it about those biography ones because those are highly inaccurate?
Suzy asked.
No, actually, not even close, it’s about your process of making the book for Shield users, I’ve loved those books to the point that I’ve invested in that book’s publisher, I quite love reading it, anyway, have you heard about the news of the Country’s defending in the Southeast? I feel like you should know about it.
General Spud said, asking her.
No, why should I need to hear this?
Suzy answered, asking him back.
The Southeast section is the only one that was destroyed by one of the Seven Villages, the Zion Village.
General Spud said.
Suzy then immediately left the Country grounds to head to the Zion Village.
In the Gallant Battle, whoever or whichever are the Villages that were successful with their attacking in the Theist Country is considered to get a bounty from the Theist Country, by the Theist Head himself, and all the sections of the Country are enticed by this bounty since it’s from the Theist Head, he always puts a higher price on those bounties, and he never misses.
And for the Zion Village to be the only one that is successful with their attacking, they will be the target of all the Country’s sections that survived against their defending.
Why do you need to say that, General? Do you think you have the right to tell that to her?! Now!?
Faro shouted, asking him as he was furious that he spills the news.
Why, Commander? Are these rights written in the Theist book of Law? And with all due respect, I’m only speaking real news to those that really need to be informed of them, I don’t spill fake news, Commander, I was not trained that way.
General Spud said, answering and questioning Faro.
Faro then stood up from his chair after finishing his drink.
You really are a Spud.
Faro said, insulting him as he leaves him on the Country grounds.
