"Come, say hello to Dargon Fist, Master of this Mountain..." Master Lu turned to the trainees
"Hello Dragon Fist" they replied in unison
"hahaha... relax kids. Let us go in. Night is come upon us"
"Yeong, take the kids in. I will come in later with the rest"
"Yes Master"
"ah Yeong, you are here... quick, take the kids in" Dragon Fist addressed Yeong who had been silent since they arrived.
Yeong and the trainees had just moved distances away from the others when an arrow struck into the chest of one of the warriors guarding the place.
"IT'S AN ATTACK!!!"
"Quick! Move into formations!!"
"Defence positions!"
Battle cries and terms immediately filled the air.
"Attack!! Charge in!!!" a loud commanding voice sounded from the distance followed by the banging sounds of running hard feets.
The enemies were coming in troops.
"Quick Master, go on in" Dragon Fist drew his sword and tried to usher Master Lu into safe quarters.
"Invasion from the Dead Owls. Everyone get into positions! No one is going in! Defend the mountain" Master Lu ignored Dragon Fist and gave his orders with a brewing, dark face.
"Yes Master!!" they all quickly got into positions.
In few minutes, the battle started full-on. Swords could be heard clanging and arrows sizzling across the air. The Dead Owls had really been prepared this time, they had even hired mercenaries from other groups to join them in carrying out the invasion. They charged relentlessly at the people in the mountain.
Dragon Fist fought very swiftly and killed without delay, he saw this raid an opportunity to show to the Master that he was still very much capable of heading Mt. Chi.
The trainees also showed their prowess and fought the enemies off remarkably. Yeong was a very impressive fighter; for as he fought, he made sure to lookout for the trainees and his Master.
At a point during the fight, Lu Kang had been battling with an adversary and hadn't seen another enemy who was almost unto him with a honed sharp sword.
"Lu Kang!" Su had shouted wide-eyed and quickly launched his sword which pierced right in the forehead of the enemy.
"Thank you brother..." Kang's Adam Apple moved up and down. He had been scared out of his wits.
This was their first real fight against actual enemies and if anything, it was a fight to death.
In due course and without much casualities, they defeated and waded off the Dead Owls. They nonetheless captured their leader - a one-eyed man.
"what an impressive night" Su told Kang as they ran after the last of the enemies
"surely... you saved me back there brother, I owe you one"
