The council meeting went on as a messenger came and gave King Balor a scroll.Balor after reading it frowned and said"There seems to be attacks or raids on 8 villages belonging to goblins and Elves of Rokwood."
Nuada questioned"Did they find who did it?"
King Balor frowned and answered"There was only one survivor and he said it was humans.But the king of the Land said it would possibly be a Bandit group."
King Balor wasn't convinced by the excuse,Hadrian and Nuada both looked at each other,both of then had gut feeling there is more to it 2 or 3 villages could be considered considered coincidence,but eight of them that is too much to ignore.
Nuada and Hadrian gave nod,as Nuada spoke"Maybe we should investigate this,father."
King Balor really wanted to see the best in humans,but Hadrian also added"We might as well quell the doubt's with an investigation of our own.Also humans won't give this issue much priority as we do."
King Balor hummed and replied"Go through with this."
Both of them set out with elite squad of elven rangers.They soon arrived at the village,it was completely destroyed,the stench of death permeated in the air.Hadrian had heard that magical beings from children to old were massacred.
Hadrian waved his hand in front of him as his hand now had a green glow.This spell was created by Hadrian to view the auras of people and magical beings the colors of which revealed to him some degree of information about their character.
This ability could also simply allow him to see suspects through obstacles or disguises.With a similar motion, he could also view residual energy or Aura's left behind by suspects, allowing him to track them by their prior movements.
As spell took effect,Hadrian and Nuada saw the ghostly figures of the people who attacked the village,they were fully armored men on horseback... ghostly... All we can see it the eerie silhouette like a fog. Like something from a nightmare. And then another figure... and another ...as 500 mounted warriors slowly move into position.
These trolls and other magical creatures were terrified. The ghostly silhouettes wait. Silence. Then as if a silent signal were given they suddenly charge, emerging from the fog in a great wave. The force of a tsunami. The silence is shattered as the charging men gave roar out ancient war cries that chill the blood sweeping forward on their hones like lightning swords and spears flashing.
Some of the trolls or dwarves tried to fight back,but they eventually fumbled and then break and run in panic and chaos.
But it was too late the human warriors are on them,they attack with an intensity few have ever seen many of the magic a beings try to escape, turning and running in blind panic they are butchered run through by swordsman, cut in half by there blade.
Nuada clenched his fist in rage,that even his nails dug into his skin and blood started to sweep out as he muttered"They will stuffer for this."
Hadrian nodded,while he was studying the people attacking the sigils were form multiple kingdom making him confused,but then a realization dawned on him as Hadrian whispered"They are banding together."
That's when a scout approached them,he kneeled before Nuada and said"My prince,we found a camp filled with soldiers nearby.There seem to celebrating."
Nauda and Hadrian looked at each other and gave a nod.Both decided to take out this group without any mercy.
The human camp.was celebrating with drink and music,it didn't take long suddenly, pandemonium breaks out from below; the soldiers are being ambushed.Elven rangers are firing deadly arrows at the soldiers and Trolls,who joined in on the revenge came from behind bushes. One of the Trolls starts roaring and stomping towards human camp, swinging his huge club and laing out multiple soldiers.
It was bloodbath with both Nuada drenched in blood and Hadrian pulls his sleeve up showing the Ten rings with five rings on each arm to evenly distribute their strength enhancement as he activated ten rings or arm bands that started to glow in purple or blue,even his veins in his arms have a slight blue hue.They generated an aura of blue, purple, and transparent energy currents around them while an aura of blue and purple dim light running through the veins of his body,
Hadrian extends his rings hovering from his fist like as energy chain to use as a whip to take out multiple enemies.But the he saw a huge group of soldier mounted on there horses rushing to at him as He was also emit multiple concussive energy blasts with each punch killing many them.
Hadrian then with punching motion hurls rings at them again,as
the rings strikes on of them killing him instantly.After hitting the enemy the rings ricochets, brutally accurate, takes out more in the process
as Hadrian flips into the air dodging incoming arrows as the rings boomerangs return straight for
him.But his timing is inhumanly accurate as docks on his arms in midair, lands.
While Nuada had extended his lance goes on the offensive killing enemy after enemy,his mastery of spear is amazing, each taking turns strike,block, strike, dodge.All of them were smooth and graceful.
Nuada threw his lance at an archer taking his aim at Hadrian,the Lance plunged into the Archers chest killing him instantly,after that Nuada. summoned the Lance back into his hands.This was enchantment Hadrian inscribed into his lance.
The battle ended with Nuada and Hadrian drenched in blood,both of them with their small group completely massacred the army leaving only few survivors.
Hadrian panting stood next to Nuada said"We should leave them a message."
Nuada was tried from the fight looked at Hadrian slightly confused,but Hadrian explained which only made Nuada give a cruel grin.
The field was filled with all the soldiers impaled on there pikes and only one was left alive.The tales would soon start of Nuada Sliverlance,now after this fight become Bloody Lance.While Hadrian had become known as Hadrian the Impaler.
