Life and death
It was night , a perfect plan to ambush there group so Aaron camp were all in alert. No one was in the mood of joking and even thr foods which were made had been put aside for now in fearing that they will be ambushed when they were having food .
Half an hour later , When everyone thought that there will be no ambush suddenly one shadow after another shadow charged at them from nearest bushes.
The camp was in alert so they immediately counter attacked while Sarah stood beside Aaron guarding him , he would fire arrows at the enemy taking out their lives . Since he was the target most of them rushed at him but the female knight stopped them .
Soon bloodshed started around the forest which attracted a vicious snake crawling towards their direction slowly .
These teo party didn't know that a dangerous beast is crawling towards them but they were busy fighting each other .
Aaron shot a masked person to death then retreated while looking around the surrounding cautiously. There were corpses everywhere but their camp had zero casualties and not even injured but they were clearly exhausted from the fighting .
The masked person had clearly greater person but they stood no chance against the Female Knights who had better weapon and training from the Abe family .
Sarah frowned suddenly . She looked at the surrounding and said with low voice to Aaron
"My lord, Im feeling that there is something watching us with hostility "
Aaron looked at her and said
"Are you sure ?"
Sarah nodded her head
"My instinct were always correct so I guess that there is really a beast or person hiding here"
Hearing this Aaron face sank . He thought for a while and said
"Tell them to end the fight fast ....if the hidden enemy is a person then we can stand a chance but of there is a beast then that's a cunning one that may have the same intelligence as humans"
Sarah nodded her head in understanding and gave orders to her subordinates to end the fight soon. After fifteen minutes every black masked person died and the blood scent lingered in the air .
When everyone relaxed suddenly a fast shadow pounced on the army . It was too late when Sarah wanted to warn them .
SWOOSH!
The shadow opened it's bloody mouth and bit one of the female knight arm and pulled her towards its direction .
"Ahhhh"
Aaron who was nearby immediately fired a double arrow at the shadow and Sarah dashed towards it while swinging her huge hammer at its head .
The shadow dropped the female knight unwillingly and tried to attack Sarah who was clearly threat to her .
The slaves screamed in horror seeing a dark blue snake which was two and a half meter long with vertical eyes .
Aaron didn't bother about the noises instead he started to give orders to the female knights .
"Someone rescue the injured female knight and others surround it but watch out for its tail "
The female knight who was in panick seeing the giant snake now calmed down and started to surround the snake while two people retreated with the injured female knight .
Aaron fired arrows continuously but not all hit the snake but still it made the snake hiss in pain . It immediately opened its mouth and pounced at Sarah but her white tiger dodged it and next second it bit at the snake neck . Sarah took the opportunity to bash the hammer at the snake head making it collapse .
Seeing this the female knight immediately stabbed their spears at the snake body but suddenly the snake who was lying in the ground swung its tail at the female knight .
"Watch out"
But it was too late, The snake tail swung the knights easily and it made the surrounding knights to fall far away from the heavy impact . Even their armour dented slightly from the impact which made some weaker women to spit blood .
Sarah who was caught off guard from the situation was head butted by the snake which resulted in crashing at a nearby tree with her pet . After that it rushed at the him with hatred and this made him pause for a second to think for his next action .
He didn't dodge the snake because he can't run from the speed of the snake so he ultimately gritted his teeth and shot arrows quickly .
The snake didn't dodge the arrow so it's pierced at the snake head which resulted in heavy bleeding . But it didn't care instead it charged at him and bit him tightly .
"Ugh..."
After holding him in his mouth , the snake ran away from the surrounding . While the female knight caused in panic seeing their lord taken away by the snake.
Sarah was now unconscious from the impact so the some of the female knight chased after the snake while others started to treat Sarah .
"Quick after it"
They madly chased it but the snake speed was too fast even if it was injured . But luckily the blood trail from the snake which was green formed a track which them easier to chase it without getting lost.
They didn't know that the snake was poisonous so some people who were injured by the tails had numbs all over their body .
Aaron was slowly started to loose his concious and blood started to pour from his wound. His body was numb but so was the snake situation . It's body was heavily injured but if the female knight didn't kill it now then he will die too but the snake speed was too much for them to chase behind so the distance between them become more and more.
"S-So t-this ......is how I end up....... ha?"
Aaron mind slowly started to slow down and he could even feel the surrounding slowing down .
"Is this how death feels?"
He slowly closed his eyes to accept it but suddenly something happened .
In front of him was a dead end cliff he thought the snake will fall in but to his astonishment a thunder striked at them .
BANG!
The surrounding shook from the impact but inside Aaron mind it was even more loud resounding.
