Chapter 8 - Capital City

The Cock crowed so loudly, Gillian woke up, the light that emitted through the window was enough for him to scoured through the dark room…

As he walked towards the window, scratching his head like a mad man…

He was able to tell at once that it's already first light…..

Bathing would be an issue for him that morning, because it'd be awfully cold if he bath that morning…

He just sprayed some fragrance on his body and put on his clothes..

The ones he used yesterday to be precise.

Normally, if it was other people leaving their village or going somewhere else, they'd make preparations and say goodbye to everyone…

But around this time, no one would have woken up…

"Sir Gillian, you there?" A deep voice said from outside while hitting on the door…

"Who the fuck are you!!" Gillian asked as he hurriedly rushed to open the door, standing on one foot as he was wearing his boot on the other.

"I'm Lieutenant Balo.. and..

"Don't care, tell Akemi that'll be done soon" Gillian said as he shut the door and went back in…

No matter how he tried to have no sentimental feeling or anything that'll drag him back, because he figured this'll be the best way for him to use his system…

Not stay around in some village and use his system once a month..

"Alright, let's go.. I'm ready!" Gillian said as he rushed out of the house, heading towards the carriage that was already leaving..

"Good morning Akemi, am I supposed to sit on the carriage with you or walk like the rest of them?" He asked confused…

"Morning Gillian, there's a horse for you.. take the black horse Balo is holding"

Although he didn't know how to ride a horse, he just got on it without any Idea on what to do…

The horse was moving very slowly as Balo was the one who was controlling it..

If they continued like this, it'll take them forever to reach their destination.

Suddenly, it was like he knew how to ride a horse, he held on the the grip and place his leg steady…

Then he too the short cane from Balo hands and hitted the horse..

Giddy up!!

He sped off, going with full speed, he did not stop, at that rate he'll get to the palace before anybody else..

(2 hours later)

Akemi carriage finally arrived at the capital gate..

"General, did you tell Sir Gillian to wait for you by the city gate?" Balo asked after caughting a sight of Him by the gate.

"Nah, I did not, that's just a little reward for his stupidity…"

Not everyone can enter the capital, especially not and oldraken without a badge or any permit pass.

"Why tf did you choose to use a carriage when you have a horse as fast as mine?

I've been waiting here for over an hour…

Do you know how scorching this sun is?

Come in, there's no scenerio where in you pass without me.., so stop whining like a baby and get in let's go….

Intruders!!!

"Sound the alarm!!"

DONG! DONG!

"What intruders?" Gillian asked as he turned to see how many they were…

"Assume battle positions" Akemi said and of the soldiers brought of their sword and shields and made a human shield with their bodies.

Just 3 guys? Isn't that bullying?

Why on earth would 50 people fight 3 people? Gillian asked.. as he stood still in the open…

"Those three is the abyssal most talented trainees, they could shattered this wall down if they want to and nothing only a guard can do against 3 people" Akemi tried explaining

"Alright then, let's end this…

Gillian quickly ran forward towards the men who were storming towards them with horse, a few metres away from them, he jumped into the Air and shouted…

[System Expansion: Definite Darkness]

Suddenly everywhere became dark, only Gillian that could see, it was a skill given to Him after acquiring the trophy….

He brought out his shockwave Sword from his system and landed heroically on the ground…

"Alright, who's first?"

The first guy rushed towards Gillian with his long spear, twisting it in the air numerous times he used the edge to perform a direct attack on Gillian, Gillian quickly pass through him like a shadow…. Cutting his spear in half, leaving a small Injury.

The other two guys wasted no time in bringing justice to their no3.

One of the guy held a short but sharp blade, and the other guy held a sword.

They both attacked him once, one from each side, but he went underneath and then he jumped up through their middle.

Thus separating them, giving him chance to end them..

He held tightly onto his sword and said..

SHOCKWAVE BLAST…

The energy blasted them both away and leaving them unconscious.

Then the energy subsided and the darkness cleared, everyone could see once more…

"There, I've done your job for you!!" Gillian said as he walked and sat down on the carriage Dusting his shirt…

"How did you do that?" Akemi asked…

"I dunno, the sky just became dark and when it cleared.. I saw two bodies.. all I did was hit the last one with a stone and he fell!" That's all..

Really!? You think I'm a baby right?

"Yeah, I do.. how bout we go inside, I can see that your men needs new sword, because there's obviously no way you'll win any war like that.

"Balo, take him to my mansion and I'll join you shortly!!"

The carriage started moving as they headed for the general mansion, as expected the mansion was well guarded.

He'll be utterly safe there.

As he walked in, he saw a man who dressed too nicely to be a soldier..

"Huh excuse me sir. Who are you?"

Gillian asked as he ran towards the gentleman.

"I'm Akemi Ex.., You can call me Elvis"

The man said..

"What about you?"

"Me? I'm a Blacksmith!!"
