Chapter 62 - Brothers Flint - Part 3

The night has come, and with the night, our mission has started. I and Brothers Flint are leaving the houses, equipped with our weapons, and heading into a carriage who will transport us closer to the city where one of the most important men in the Moldovia Kingdom is located. Apparently, Fiona has sent a few scouts to search for important persons around the Kingdom of Moldovia and then send the information back to her in person.

We are getting on the carriage, with our weapons prepared to attack enemies and with a clear mind after resting for a few hours in the houses where we live, until we capture the Kingdom of Moldova. The Flint brothers took their specific weapons, and I took the wand and my spellbook, which still contains a few spells from Emily's book when she lent me her spellbook to transcribe a few spells in it on who can easily use the two spells I learned from Louis Flint. Apparently, Lucian Flint is a warrior like Fiona, he uses a sword, but one that contains the element of water, at least that's what he told me when I asked him what kind of sword this is because I've never seen a blue one and which moves like the waves of water on the blade of this sword. And Louis, he's a magician or wizard like me, who uses spells, but who is stronger than the common ones they use.

"So what will be the strategy?" asks Lucian after he looked at the driver.

"The driver will drive us to the closest cities, somewhere he will not be seen, and then we will infiltrate in the village. We will carefully enter there, we don't want to cause any ruckus there, alright," says Louis looking at me probably for the fact he remembered how I used for the first time staff and how a launched an enemy rock into the enemy forest. "And when we have infiltrated the village, we will have to enter the passages our scouts have found a few hours ago and walk to the mansion where we will catch the enemy General right hand."

"Why him and not the actual General?" I ask Louis.

"Because the strategy is to capture someone who can easily give the information away. And if we capture the General, he will not even dare to give the information even if we will throw him into an active volcano or feed him to Giant Dodos. Plus, the right hand is noble, so, it will be easy if we will capture and gather the information from him."

"If it is a noble then gaining information will be easy, but what about guards who will protect him and everyone from this city?" asks Lucian to Louis.

"That's easy. We will put the guards to eternal sleep."

"That means we will kill him?" I ask Louis.

"Um... Yeah.." says Louis feeling scared by my response."

He doesn't condemn Louis, and I'd be scared when a kid my age wants to kill someone he doesn't even know, but that's the way things are in a war. The only way to survive wars is to fight, defend your country, and stop enemies from invading your country. At least that's what I know when I read from the books I had in the orphanage that was like war, action, or adventure. War is a serious thing, but still, it is a change of perception, for me, it has not changed my perception yet because being a kid in a war is not even normal for a kid at my age.

After a few minutes, our carriage has arrived in the safe area, in some big bushes and trees who are much bigger than the ones in my Kingdom I have seen so far, somewhere at ten or twenty meters tall if I have to be precise. We descend from this chariot, weapons in hand, and ready to embark on the mission of capturing that nobleman who leads an Army that is probably weaker than all the nobles in my Kingdom when it comes to battle. The Flint brothers and I run through folded areas to that city, air while we were running, we notice a villager coming with a cart pulled by cows and carrying some fans somewhere thirty meters from us. I couldn't see who that man with the cow-drawn carriage was, but I realized that this carriage was pulled by cows because it has a lantern in the middle of the place where the two cows are tied. We had ignored that carriage and continued walking, which this time is silent because we do not want to scare that peasant and make him run away and report to the royal palace that the city is attacked by the enemy army or only by three knights.

We walked slowly and cautiously to the left of these tall bushes and tall trees until we came to a house that seems abandoned for a very long time. We enter that house and investigate the area for a few moments, after which the Flint Brothers decide to leave me in this area to guard it and protect their backs if they are detected when they kidnap that Noble. Initially, I had not agreed to such a thing, but I had to agree to these orders because Louis and Lucian are the leaders, and I came to this mission as a support and to heal his wounds. I stayed in this abandoned house and waited for Lucian and Louis to arrive. While they were leaving for that city, I stayed at the window of the house upstairs and guarded their backs, and checked the area.

As I sat at that window with my wand ready for any serious moment, I noticed Louis and Lucian approaching the wall surrounding the nearby town. Louis and Lucian get there without any problems, and when climbing this wall, they decided to use one of the simplest tricks they use to get over the other side, they simply jumped that four-meter wall. To do this, the Flint Brothers climb the wall in a few moments, and then, when they reach the top of the wall, they throw themselves into the Kingdom without being noticed by any guard guarding the city or any citizen who has nothing to do on this cold night.

"Good luck!" I say in this alone and dark abandoned house while I am looking at those two warriors to see if they are going to be fine there.

***

Meanwhile, in the house where Fiona is, she is at the table with two more warriors, and those warriors cannot be identified because they wear animal masks on their faces, light clothing, which is composed of worn bandages on their chests and legs, shows green pants with strange signs.

"Did you managed to do the plan?" asks one of those strange warriors.

"Yes," says Fiona to that warrior. "Those two have already been sent there, and now, we can start our second part of this operation."

"So... You are really sure about this?" asks the other person who sounds like he has a feminine voice.

"Yes. You two are my trump cards, so I am sending you to do the second part of this operation. Destroy the hometown of the King, which is Chișana."

"Chișana is the city-"

"Where our three warriors are? Correct. After they will capture that hostage, you two will have the mission to destroy the hometown to make the King get panicked and come to save his only precious thing."

"His son, right?" asks one of those warriors to Fiona.

"His son is the second most precious thing. The first thing important to that King is his secret gold deposit underground... Thanks to the scout's information, they can leave this war much faster. But now, let's get to the important things here! Go there and destroy the King's Hometown."

"Very well, ma'am." says one warrior leaving the building and then gets followed by the next one.

When the two warriors leave the building where Fiona is and prepares the attack strategies, they climb into a cart that will transport them to the city where the team of three members whose mission is to capture the King's son is. When they get in the carriage, one of the warriors takes off his mask and we can imagine that that mysterious warrior is not a man, but rather a volcano man, a human person who is made of plates that are in the volcano and he has lava instead of blood, which gives him a firearm. This person has as a mask the face of a legendary bird called Phoneix, his colleague has the mask of a lion, but this person does not take off his mask and stays with it on his face throughout the fight.

"It is hard to breathe while you are holding this mask." says the guy who is half-human-half-volcano.

"You get used to it." says the guy who is wearing the lion mask and looking at the building where Fiona is working as a General. "Do you think she can handle it?"

"She is a strong girl, man. She can handle it."

Meanwhile, on the Fiona building, the girl is looking at the piece of paper, she sweats and she thought to herself: "God! What have I done to do this job?". And after Fiona has looked at one piece of paper, someone knocks on her door, Fiona let that person enter the building and when the unknown person has entered the building, Fiona was shocked for a moment.

"How did you come here?"

"I... I have lived here." says the person with a Phoneix mask on his face and with his whole body on fire.

"Careful, Fred." says another warrior who is coming with some sort of gloves made of ice in the building. "So, Fiona. You need a little help?"
