Witnessing no approach from there,Max arched his arrow towards one of the bright spot surrounded by small leaves.Just the moment he shooted the bolt,Whoosh!- every single source of light disappeared with a shrill sound.Within snap of a finger,everything turned back to normal.
"What the-" Dready gasped.
The sound of those creatures came out quite shrilling but sounded more scary than piercing.
"What the heck was that?"
Everyone left puzzled by this sudden occurence of the event.
"Commander, should we go and check?" Dready asked with a serious tone.
"Wow! Were they your relatives Dready?"a knight responded at his level of stubborness to go in search of danger.
"Ofcourse not! I said that because it could be dangerous in future.And what if they follow us in the way." Dready remarked calmly.
Just then, Max shouted"Everyone back off quickly!" sensing their approaching again.
Max with his quick instinct , entrusting Robert,he handed over Merry to Robert in the carriage.
"No matter what happens, both of you, don't dare to come out!"
"Sultha, protect all the carriages!" Maximilian ordered the older knight Sultha to look over the safety of Merry, Robert and all the servents inside the carriages.
Suddenly, a large group of wolves appeared. Each of them double of general size , coming forward with a lust of flesh and lurking saliva. Their eyes didn't appear to be normal.Filling everyone with chills.
With no wait, they initiated to attack the knights. Just then one of them rushed towards Dready from behind and jumped.
Blocking the way with his horse, Max threw it ,hitting the giant wolf using his elbow at its neck, on the ground .
This attracted the attention of the wolves.
Strangely,they started to work coordinately and directed their attack towards those who were in the front.
With their unusual strength and bulky sizes, wolves appeared to dominate and begin to first eliminate the horses by biting their legs to reach out to the knights.This caused a big ruckus as it appeared to completely fill the horses with madness.
Wolves sinked their teeth in knights' bodies and snatched off their skins.
Struggling to get them off from their core as the pain engulfed them.
Swords failed to tackle these deadly animals so the knights started to use their muscle strength.
Meanwhile, Max uses his dagger to get the wolf off his chest.He struggled while one another one came speedily to take advantage.
"Max!" Merry shouted at the sight from the carriage window.
"Watch behind!"
Stunned,he Looked back quickly.
Max stabbed his dagger in the wolf's eye.That made the other wolf who was approaching,took a step back.
Hinted by its behaviour,Max found that quite confusing.These wolves were quite sharp witted.
With no wastage of a single second,
Max indicated and ordered knights thunderously,"Target their eyes!"
"Yes sir!"
As soon as he commanded, every single wolf started to retreat,as if they had acknowledged his words and understood what he meant.
Everyone was perplexed.What was happening?They appeared to be under the influence of something.
"Long time no see, brother." A voice came out ,deep and brittle.
The voice made Max clench his fist in displeasure.A glint formed in his eyes as the person became clearly visible.
A tall, pale man with dusky red eyes and blonde midlength long hair with sharp jaw line,came out in front of them on his well built horseback.
The man was Maximilian's twin brother.
"I was having fun, watching my babies playing with your dogs." The man stepped forward with a provoking tone.
Everyone despised the person in front of them to the point where they just wanted to take his head off at any instant.
"I missed my dearest brother.Won't you welcome me?" The man continued while his other two subordinates came with their horses.
"Get your fuck out of here." Maximilian with full rage, gripping at his deggar, warned him.
"What could be expected from a person like you Max...Anyways..since you didn't invite me on your wedding so, I brought these to you as a present.Did you like donating some of your blood to them my dear brother." As soon as the man spurted out his words, a sharp cut formed near his cheek bone.
Maximilian shoot his deggar at the man without a single thought.
Blood rushed out from the man's face.
His knights got ready to draw their swords.On the other hand, Max and knights knew that they didn't require any weapon to fight these men.
"Know your limits Maximilian. You know very well that these wolves are under my control and I can do whatever I want." Stepping forward to stand in front of Max with a proud face.
"Having the guts to come here on your own, mind-blowing ,Ethan."
"I guess,we shouldn't disappoint you and end you right here and your so called babies." Max looked into his eyes and replied with unchanged tone.
Looking around,Ethan said with a grin," I didn't come to do as such thing but my mood changed so I just created a scene.I was hurt that you left Montane church before meeting your brother.So,see...I came all this way to meet you."
When Ethan eyes looked around all the carriages, before that, Robert rushed and suddenly hid Merry behind him and closed the window.
Taking a deep breath, he added," I also look forward to see your head rolling on the ground.Wait to show us your skills in the war.Just four more months, Maximillian."
"Till then,my soon to die brother.Take care of your belongings." Ethan spoke with gleam in his red eyes. Tilting his head while pressing his injured face to stop the blood coming out.
Frowning his brows,Max responded aggressively," If you really have the nerve then come back and fight right now, you bastard!"Drawing his sword,he step to the fore.
Wolves howled while positioning themselves around Ethan and looked horrifyingly back at everyone.
All wolves were bewitched by him, following him as he commanded.
"Not now, Maximilian." Ethan replied turning his head back and smirked.Just then when Max and knights without any hesitation got ready to attack them, they vanished.
Silence again fell over. It appeared paranormal. Looking around everywhere, but not a single presence of them was left.
"Fuck!"
