After leaving the court room commander beron ordered his men: gather all the knights and soldiers of the black raven, assemble them outside the palace. And go inform prince Xavier,his presence is required in this mission,tell him this is an order from his majesty.We have to leave as soon as possible. Quick! make haste we have no time.
After 10 minutes...
Around eighty knights and a hundred soldiers were gathered outside the palace. All the soldiers were equipped with spears and shields while the knights carried swords and everyone was dressed in black which represented the Black Ravens. The Black Ravens were made up of an army of knights and soldiers who are considered the strongest in the entire Kingdom.
Even the lowest in their rank among them was considered to be an Elite in comparison to an average knight. And all these powerful men were gathered here to capture a single man. Ravens! you might already know the reason why you are gathered here but I would still say it. You all are gathered here on a mission to capture a thief who somehow managed to steal the most treasured item of our kingdom right under our nose. We have to capture that fucker and restore our honour. Bring him to me, dead or alive it doesn't matter.
But we have to get back the treasure he stole before he crosses the borders. Now, stop wasting time and move your asses. Remember this failure isn't an option. If we lose him, then countless lives will be in danger, not only in our kingdom but the entire realm would be in grave danger.
After the commander's speech all the knights and soldiers left immediately. Where's prince Xavier, the commander asked to one of his men. He already left commander, he said he will capture the thief and bring back the sword by himself. Upon hearing this the commander cursed loudly. That idiot! he is too confident for his own good. There are things you cannot do alone.
Meanwhile, just a few kilometres away from the commander in the east a man in a black hood was running at a speed that made his movements a blur. But his speed didn't matter to the knights on his trail. Their speed matched the speed of the man in black hood, this man was none other than the thief that every single member of the army was looking for and the knights were the members of the black raven.
They clashed their swords many times while they were running. It was seven knights against one man yet it didn't hinder the man's movements. The man kept his ground while he dodged all the attacks thrown at him and returned the favour with his own. His sword was covered in a thin layer of darkness, and every time their swords clashed the knights lost a little amount of their vitality and lifeforce which was transferred to thief.
It wasn't long before the number of the knights was reduced from seven to only two.
He quickly finished the last two knights and made his way towards the city borders. He jumped from one building to another till he reached the city walls. He started running on the vertical wall like he was running on the ground while dodging the stones and spears thrown at him by the soldiers above the wall. But these were just measly attacks that didn't even slowed him down.
As he was about to reach the end of the walls, three fireballs the size of huge boulders struck right above him and caused a explosion which him fall. He spun like ball in the air to reduce the speed of his fall and landed on the ground like a cat. Most of his clothes were tattered and there were burn marks on his exposed skin which was burnt due to the explosion but aside from that he seemed fine.
When he looked around he saw that he was surrounded...
