Chereads / The wild hunt / Chapter 29 - We arrive

Chapter 29 - We arrive

3 days have passed in this time we stopped by 3 different towns each of them had a semblance of players mix in with the people of the land even if the town was small all though all the small towns we want through had more hardened tuff people do to how bad the monster infestation was ontop of that there was plenty of bandits groups and dark organizations hidden out here hell we got stopped on the road on the 2 day by a bandit group that blockaded the road sadly for them this sweet baby of mine was fully capable of smashing straight through the blockade and that's what we did as we smashed through the 3 carts that they placed on the road Gold and I through a hand full of grenades out the window laughing with each other I was back in the drivers seat after we got to our first town sadly most of the rooms have been taken at each tavern we been to so the boys and I camped outside usually in the Humvee wall the girls shared 3 rooms together Rose and Valentine shared a room wall Flare and Freya got a second room as for the last room Helga and Gold stayed in it and I must say woman are confusing creatures at first Helga and Gold didn't want to sleep in the same room for some odd reason and they were going to camp with us but both Taylor and I insisted they sleep in the room since we had already paid for it at the end of it all they did and ones they came out the next day they was laughing and joking around like best friends when Taylor and I saw this we looked to one another and simply shook our heads grinning well I can't say Taylor and I haven't gotten closer either since I didn't need to sleep I practiced with the sword and to say I was rusty would be a understatement my grandfather, father and brother practiced in martial arts hell most to all in my family did I was not the except in my younger years I trained with a sword, spear and bow sadly the older I got the less I practiced in those weapons leaning more to the hand to hand martial arts when I became a teenager and when I joined the military I was trained in basic hand to hand combat and how to us a knife and bayonet effectively along side of many other things that included guns but in this place guns weren't very common well I should say effective firearms wasn't very common firearms in themselves was expensive to make and that didn't even count how complicated black powder is one wrong move and boom but they was easy to us and could do deadly damage in the hands of common people firearms make killing so easy with one simple squeeze of your finger and watch how you have the power of fire and lead sadly in this world of magic there was plenty of things that could block bullets so that sort of makes all the strengths of a firearm disappear y would people buy a expensive hunk of steel that wasn't effective when other weapons can accomplish the same thing to a much greater affect all they had to do is put a bit of work to learn how to use the weapon effectively I side angrily at this fact as I turned around unsheathing Yokai slicing straight through a tree but my blade only sliced halfway through the tree before stopping I started to curse as I pull out Yokai and got into a fighting stance Yokai shinned wickedly in the moonlight I grasped the hilt with both hands I seen closed my eyes and started to imagine a emeny in front of me it's figure made from shadows but it's stances was the same as mine it was a bit shorter then me and a bit more modern shoulders it held its sword out in front of it then like it was a ghost it shot towards me swinging its blade I swung Yokai just barely deflecting his sword to the side as I thrust my blade forward but the shadow figure simply moved to the side swiping up at my throat I leaned back my eyes opening I seen a familiar black katana blade pass over the top of me but I couldn't tell where I seen this blade at so my instincts took over my hand swung up with Yokai as a reaction but I seen that black blade block Yokai but I wasn't don't I pushed forward on Yokai leavering my body forward but the figure holding the black blade stepped to the side which made me stumble forward and a black blade got pressed against my throat I looked to the figure who I could see clearly and I seen his grinning face Taylor I mumbled he chuckled that's right lad and you would be dead he pulled back his black blade I remember seeing that blade long side it's twin hanging over Taylor's desk Taylor took a step back saying I have been watching you for a while not even trying to hide and yet you got so swept up in your own thoughts you didn't even react to my presents what's troubles your mind lad? I held Yokai up I could see my reflection in the steel it's nothing really Taylor I just got caught up in how different are two worlds are where I am from magic isn't a thing science and technology are everything we built weapons of mass destruction guns wasn't even the worst weapons we have made firearms was very common and the most common weapon used I was trained how to us firearms and use them effectively but in this world firearms the weapon I am most prominent in basically are useless in killing sure they can kill weak people but all the strong people out there in this world firearms are useless it's been thousands of years sense my people had to us primitive weapons like swords and bows in combat the only people who train in this lost lifestyle do it as a hobby it's a sport I was one of those people I trained with the sword and I was really good at it I had never lost a fight with a sword and rarely lost with a spear and yet I left those combat arts behind me to practice martial arts just cuz I was a foolish teenage who thought it would get him chicks I never had fought anyone again with a sword sense then well that was until yesterday with that woman Mary she wasn't very skilled and yet I almost lost the fight with Dark doesn't count since I used my martial arts to beat him it just rubbed me the wrong way that's all Taylor nodded and a look of understanding want across his face I understand Hunter there was a time when I faced a similar situation such as your self I was skilled in smithing and I used firearms even when people laughed at me but be it with a sword, gun, fist or whatever as long as you win the battle it doesn't matter what you used to win the fact is that you won and they lost its a simple as that of course train, train, train and train some more but don't bring down your accomplishments you can learn and even adapt from your experiences but never being down your self got it and besides fuck what people think if they laugh at you for using firearms then make them cry when they see how wrong they was I laughed at his words you sure got a odd world view there old man Taylor laughed pointing his blade at me so how about it brat wish to go again a huge grin spread across my face and I lunged at him sense that night Taylor and I haven't stop sparing wall everyone slept we spared with each other and to say I shook off my rusty ness would be a understatement hell I was even learning new things just by sparing with Taylor the man was a fucking cracked swordsman dearing the 3 nights we have spared I had not leaven landed one blow on him let alone back him into a corner it was the 4 day the son was coming up so Taylor and I cleaned up with magic and came back to the group as we walked back I filled him on my plan B to say Taylor was shocked would be a understatement but a huge crazy grin spread across his face that's y she got those ambulance nice very nice I grinned o the others don't know other then Fox Giant and I and I want to keep it that way Taylor nodded your secret is safe with me but we got back to the Humvee to see everyone waiting for us I smiled saying we should reach the kingdom Vonzaruvish territory  in 4 hours be ready for anything and follow my and Giants orders if we tell you to run you run if we tell you to hide you hide if we tell you to fight you fight like your life depends on it which it does I hope yall are ready I looked many at Rose and Valentine I wasnt worried a out the little she-beast that was Valentine sense I literally seen her bully a fucking wyvern with her magic sure Bin did most of the work but still the fact that Valentine didn't run and hide in front of Shadow shows how strong of character she was it was Rose I was worried about she only had a rapier on her hip but her face was calm like she didn't care I rolled my eyes gralling am I understood Giant, Gold, Freya, Fox, Flare, Star and James all stood at attention and said yes sir Valentine followed there example but Rose didn't do anything she didn't react ar all wall Helga smiled nodding my eyes got sharp as they landed on Rose but before I could say anything James smacked her on the back of they head Rose angrily turned to him gritting her teeth saying y did you do that James do you know who you but Rose shrunk under his glare I do not care who you are Rose at this point in time I ant James Vonzaruvish all I am is a soldier the same can be said for the rest of us and when your commanding officer asks a question you best answer and answer with your chest do you understand Rose glared at him saying but he isn't my captain or officer you would be but James smacked her on the back of the head again it wasnt hard just to get the point across If it wasnt for Skull and his group we would have this chance we would be weeks behind if it wasnt for this magic cart that Skull had made besides uncle and anty hired the Spartans to be are guards and escorts and Skull is the leader of this group so yes he is your commanding offer and you will treat him with the respect he is earned if you can't even do this stay here we will pick you up on the way back but if your not ready to follow orders you will only be a burden besides uncle and anty trust him so I will put my trust in him aswell Rose angrily side and glared at me saying in a bored flat voice yes sir I chuckled you get one pass lass but James is right this is life and death one wrong move by you and snap you dead so will you follow orders she side yes sir good load up everyone and we hit the road as we was driving Gold passed out earbuds for everyone my group already had these in already but Rose, James, Valentine and Helga did Taylor did everyone took there earbud Rose asking what em I supposed to do with this Gold scoffed it's a earbud it goes in your ear Rose scoffed I ant putting this in my ear Gold shrugged do or don't I am sure Fox would be happy to throw you out Rose face want pale as she waved her hands saying no no I am done and she put it into her ear I want over the calms saying testing 1 2 3 can yall hear me yes good know if you look dead ahead you will see a blockade that is flying the Vonzaruvish kingdoms banners they all looked forward to see the hole round in front of us was blocked by a thick wood gate and on either side of the gate was stone walls magic I mumbled admiring there fast work the gate was made from thick wood with reinforcer steel beams wrapped around them no roaming through that I thought Giant you ready I asked over the calms I heard him laugh cocked rocked and ready to go sir I smiled good if I give the word show these fuckers what real fire words are Taylor please get up her Taylor moved to the front as I got closer to the gate I seen people on either side of the gate with cross bows and a group of man blocked the way one man in purple armor held up his hand yelling Holt, I showed down coming to a stop in front of them I looked over these guards every one of them was dark elves no Wildings sad face no matter I rolled down my window as the man surrounded us the man who spoke walked to the window asking what's your business holy fuck what are you I clicked my tongue annoyingly I looked to him I am a wildling as for my business I am escorting a messenger from the wild woods dukedoms the man nodded clearing his throat like he was embarrassed at his outburst can you show any proof of identification I handed the man the coin Taylor gave me that showed are family mark the man took it and examined the coin when he seen it his face want slightly pale he looked up yelling opened the gates they can pass his man backed off and the man handed back my coin saying I am apologize for making sir Taylors messages wait please head on through I nodded smiling much appreciated have a good day and like that we rolled on by

and we kept moving we had to go through 3 more of the blockades before we could even see the gates that lead into Vonzaruvish which was at the bottom of the mountain there wasnt any line in front of the gates so we just rolled up the guards on either side of the gates hands tighted on there weapons as one of them yelled halt I said halt I say by orders of the great king Asronaut I said halt I raised a eyebrow we want even moving and yet the man was screaming at us to halt we had stopped the moment he said halt I rolled down my window yelling mate we ant even moving that guard cleared his voice embarrassedly as he walked forward sayig what is your business in the great kingdom of Vonzaruvish I rolled my eyes saying I am a messenger from the bad lands the mans face snarled saying o yea do you have proof of such a thing I nodded and handed him the coin the man looked it over after a few seconds he looked up to me with distain how dare you monster fucker impersonating as a member of the Baba Yaga family is a death wish did you truly think I would believe your one of them ha dont make me Boom the next moment his head exploded do to a Diablo bullet flying into his head
