As the breeze passed by and the animals chirped there stood two men. Looking each other in the eye, one with fear and the other, not one bit of emotion. It was a battle of will as Feran stared into the knight's soul, the knight's looked in fear gritting his teeth. H looked like he wanted to run away and never come back. The strongest holy knight was intimidating at least outside his home. If anything, Vivian was much more of a monster than he was for he was afraid of her. Feran's grip tightened and tightened until he pushed the knight on the fall with just his grip. He then slowly pushed the knights' arm closer back to him until he made the knight look as if he was bowing. The Knight stood there in pain and because of fear he couldn't even whimper, he was that afraid. As he looked into Feran's eyes, sweat ran down his face as if someone poured a bucket of water on his head. The knight stood there with teary eyes. The knight then withdrew from Feran in fear like an animal gritting his teeth in anxiety. To him, Feran looked like a devil trying to break his arm but in reality, Feran was just trying to push his hands back to him but his strength was too much for a skinny patrol knight to handle.
" I'm sorry sir! I had no idea he was your son, please forgive me!" The knight banged his head on the floor continuously until it started bleeding that Feran had to hold him back yet he resisted. It was a blood bath. Feran completely terrified the guy, one could imagine how many nightmares the knight will have after this whole scenario.
" Well then, I heard your conversation," Feran said to Xavier. He then placed his hand by his chin," We need to trick them and capture them."
" Well, then I'll just leave," The knight interrupted as he held a cloth on his forehead wiping the red substances that leaked out of it. The knight thought of Feran as a demon and would do anything to get away from him.
" No, whether you like it or not your part of this now." Feran grabbed the knight in motion.
Xavier then cleared his throat," I'll tell you what information I have so far. So it seems like they were going to send out these weapons to spies here and they would use it to confuse everyone by attacking inside Třekov while the real threat attacks the outside at the gates later going inside. Seems like they're using their spies as bait."
Feran listened to the whole thing," Maybe we can trick them. By not distributing these weapons and closing off Třekov's gate they'll have no way of knowing when the bait receives the weapons because no one would be able to leave. They probably already have a second plan for if they don't get in contact. Maybe they'll attack at a certain time? And when the real threats arrive we group upon them unexpectedly. Of course, we must keep the word of this to ourselves, not even the knights could be trusted. You'll never know who the spies are."
The knight raised his hand asking permission to speak," What about the spies?"
" When we capture the others we're going interrogate them into telling us who the spies are. But who do we get them to close the gates without letting them know?" Xavier asked.
" Just leave that to me."

As they made it to the city gates, they reached the guards. The moment the two city gate guards saw Feran, they saluted.
" Good morning, sir!" They said with high voices.
" No need to be so formal and stop with the honorifics. You're both too polite." Feran said.
" What brings you here sir?" They asked.
Feran then showed them a wanted poster," The man on this wanted poster is a serial killer and an incredibly strong magic-user. I got word that he's inside here, someone spotted him."
" What's his name?" They questioned.
" His name is Teppy Jane." Feran improvised, it took him a while to think of a name.
" How could we've never heard of him?" They asked.
" Of course you haven't, only the higher-ups know."
" Then why are you telling us?" They shrugged while looking at each other.
" Because you're both trustable and dependable. I got permission to close the city gates to lock this man inside while we look for him, if he escapes there'll be countless murders. Of course, to make sure he doesn't escape from the inside while being locked up, my trustable associates and I will guard the outside."
They brushed their beards and smiled after hearing that compliment." A kid? Wouldn't he be in danger, sir?"
" He's my son, and trust me when I say he's more than meets the eye," Feran said. Of course, this time he wasn't lying.
" Any request from the higher-ups should be done so well then sir, we'll breach the gates but for how long?" The guards asked.
" For the rest of the entire day," Feran replied.
" Okay can do sir." They saluted at Feran as he walked outside the gate with his ' trustable associates.'
They then waited to close the gates as Feran, Xavier, and the knight, Benny left. They then with all their might, pulled in the iron gates and locked it. The lock was quite big. As they were locked outside, Feran, Xavier, and Benny went into the bushes.
Xavier stopped Feran and asked," How are we supposed to win when it's only us especially when we don't know the number of foes."
" He's correct you know?" Benny said.
" Well, the number of foes is a problem but considering we wiped out most of them before when Loy died their numbers aren't probably much. And I could probably handle them anyway. Though it would be good if we had a trap magic and trickery magic-user." Feran replied.
The useless Benny then raised his hands," I can do both trap and trickery magic."
