The Quest -2
Hearing the strange sound in his mind , Aaron paused . And in his mind soon a transparent pannel appeared with some details in it .
[DING ! QUEST -2 : KILL THE MUTATED AQUATIC LIFE BY YOUR LAST HIT !
REWARD : +1 STRENGTH
FAILURE : -------]
Reading twice the details he immediately become excited . The Reward for this quest is a +1 strength which will help him to grow stronger so the intent to kill this Creature become stronger now . Since this Quest had no failures penalty and the reward was worth it so he decided to kill the creature no matter what .
He took a deep breath and focused on his attention at the creature. He started to aim his arrows at the wounded part while he calmly issued command to the female Knight for better formation.
As the seconds passed by the knights had difficulty fighting the creature . The wounds on the creature become more and it's strength was slowly declining but it didn't retreated instead it become more aggressive and some knight was heavily injured.
Some of the knights retreated sustaining heavy wounds while only Sarah and Aaron left with few knights to deal with the creature.
Aaron ordered the injured knights without stopping firing
"Retreat if you are Injured and let the ranged attack take the close combat . If you have the energy then take their place instead and deal damage from far away".
The knights obeyed his command and even the slaves he brought took stones and threw at the creature with all their forces making the creature to slow down its attack .
Aaron didn't miss this opportunity and fired continuously . Sarah dodged the tail and swung her hammer at the creature body knocking it down at the ground .
If it was before the creature won't even bulge a inch from this type of attack but now it was heavily injured and exhausted so the creature fell down easily .
It had difficulty to get up so seeing this the group immediately launced heavy attack on it making the creature howl in pàiñ and soon it was close to death door from repeated attacks .
Seeing the creature about to die , Aaron stopped the knights from attacking . Confused by the strange order from their lord , the knights didn't attack anymore instead surrounded the creature . Even though they were puzzled by the order they didn't ask anything but instead they choose to follow the order .
This is the difference between guards and knight . Not Even in strength even in the field of orders and discipline The knights were always superior .
Aaron arrived at the creature head and shot arrows at it ending the life . The blood of the creature was black and when it spilled on the ground that area become charred black .
After the creature died Aaron heard a notification about completing the quest.
[DING! QUEST -2 COMPLETED
REWARDED +1 STRENGTH ]
Aaron body slightly felt hot and his strength increased 1% which made him feel and un feel at the same time.
Sarah looked at the creature and said with serious voice
"My lord ....do you think this creature is mutated or is it a new species creature?"
Aaron didn't look at her but said calmly
"It doesn't matter what they are but what matter is that they are threat to us if these type of creature has more than we think "
As he said he looked at the pale faced Sarah and said softly
"Take a rest and let the injured knights recover from their injury" .
Aaron then turned around went towards the village head and said to him
"Burn the body as soon as possible "
The village head nodded his head and said in fear
"Y-Yes my lord. "
Aaron went back to his carriage which the female knight followed them . The slaves soon followed the knights while glancing at the surrounding in curiousity .
The village head looked at the dead creature and said with relief tone
"Gather some men and burn this damm creature outside the village ...."
The injured man who was shocked seeing the Duke people killing the creature easily was still repeating in his mind . the village head voice woke him up and said
"Yes chief I will do that right away "
The village head finally had a relaxed look and muttered with a gratitude to Aaron group
"It's our blessing to have these kind person as a Duke to this forsaken land.....I hope the lord will restore this land to its former state "
........
Soon under the cheerful enthusiasm of the villagers Aaron and his group left their village and travelled to the direction of the Duke manor.
Based on the village chief they have to travel some short distance towards east then they will find the heart of the forsaken land , where the real deal was present.
Aaron needed to land there and choose the Duke manor as the foundation for the kingdom then the Quest-1 will be completed . He didn't want to lose his life when he had a great opportunity ahead him so he didn't tell people to rest instead he urged them to reach towards their destination quick as possible .
Only 10 hours remaining to complete the Quest so he was quite anxious and they still needed to travel some distance there to reach so he could only pray that there won't be any obstacles .
"I hope this ride will go smooth and avoid unnecessary troubles ....."
The knights could fell the restless of their lord so no one was in mood to talk instead they all were focused on the journey .
After some hours mater the group finally reached their destination .
The heart of the forsaken land !
They are finally reached their destination and everyone had tired faces while the horses was panting from exhaustion journey. Aaron felt guilty about this so he ordered the horses to take a rest while they will walk towards the Manor .
Only 4 hours left to complete the quest !
Aaron looked at the old city in front of him with cold gleam in his yes . His mouth curved into a smile and said with confidence tone
"Here I come.....my future kingdom and
"My home..."
