Chapter 47 - Chapter 15 - Traitor's Kiss!

Days later...

Continent Eurus, Greek empire... 

 Zirya, valley of the shadow of death...

- Arthur's Army (descending from the ships, in rows)

- Union Army (one km away, in combat position)

On the royal ship...

- Arthur Treadway (in royal robes, tying his hair) "It's today, finally..."

- Princess Hera Olympus (with armor, looking at Arthur): Won't you wear an armor? Will you fight in your real clothes?

- Arthur Treadway (takes his sword, puts it on his back): Don't worry, I'm a martial artist, I'm not a soldier...

- Tristan Ashura (clears throat, looks at both of them): The army is ready...

- Princess Hera Olympus (looking at Arthur, worried)

Off the ship...

- Arthur Treadway (gets off the ship, stops in front of the men)

- All the soldiers (crouch): Your Highness!

- Tristan, Hera, and Qin-Shi (looking at Arthur): It's time for the speech of millions...

- Arthur Treadway (walks among the soldiers, watching each one): Soldiers, many of you have never seen me, nor do you know who I am, but it doesn't matter who I am! Don't think of me when you're fighting, or the queen, fight for your children, fight for a world in which your daughters aren't taken by so-called gods! Fight for a world free of dictatorships, a world in which your children will be free from slavery, engrave your names in history! Strong and brave men and women, fight for freedom, and let the future generations know that this was our finest moment!! (stops in front of the army)

- Arthur Treadway (raises his sword with his right hand): Men!

On the other side of the valley...

- Prince Ares Olympus (looks at Arthur, smiles): The little boy has grown up, now he thinks he can face the god of war! Go, kill them all and bring my sister back, alive...

- Prince Hermes Olympus (next to Ares, laughing): I don't know when was the last time father sent us on these kinds of missions... (looks at the men): You heard him, kill them all! And the long-awaited war began, fortunately Zeus, the god king, was not present. At first, things were balanced, but then... The numerical advantage of Ares' army was present on the battlefield, it was time to end the battle but...

- Alander Odinson (with a sword piercing the pit of his stomach, sits on the floor)

- Some soldiers (run to help, worried): Captain!

- Lancelot Chamberlain (fighting, using an ancient art, cuts the necks of two enemies, sees Alander on the ground): Alander!

- Princess Hera Olympus (takes a spear, throws it at an enemy's head, takes its bow, crouches and hits another's belly)

- Enemy 1 (gets close to Hera with a sword in his hand): Princess, please, the god king will be upset if I hurt her...

- Princess Hera Olympus (hits a special kick in his face): And who says you're going to hurt me? (punches the enemy)

- The enemy (falls unconscious)

- Princess Hera Olympus (looks at Ares, realizes he's looking at Arthur)

- Arwen (surrounded by several enemies, frightened): Captain!

- Princess Hera Olympus (holds her bow and with her arrows hits the back of 1, 2's neck, and 3's legs and 4 on the shoulders, looks around and gets worried) "A lot of people are dying..."

- Prince Ares Olympus (laughing, goes towards Arthur): I'm tired of staying here, I'm going to have some fun...

- Arthur Treadway (using the Dragon King's Art, cuts off the arms of 1, rips the stomach of 2, sees Ares, Hercules, Perseus, Hermes, Artemis and Helios coming towards him) "Let's end this!"

- Prince Ares Olympus (excited, looks at the five): This one is mine! (advances towards Arthur)

- Prince Hermes Olympus (feels the impact of Ares' speed, surprised): He's so fast that even I can't keep up...

- Arthur Treadway (with an indifferent, elusive expression) "He doesn't use martial arts, it's easier to defeat him..."

- Prince Ares Olympus (trying to hit him, laughs): Will you only defend?

- Arthur Treadway (looks at Ares, smiles): All right... (dodges, cuts Ares' left wrist)

- Prince Ares Olympus (confused, puts his right hand on the cut to stop the blood, looks at Arthur) "He dodged my blow with such indifference!": You bastard! (laughing): For the first time in a decade...

- Arthur Treadway (cuts off his head, sighs): I don't want to hear your speeches, spear me!

- Prince Hermes Olympus (furious, attacks the Arthur) "This kid needs to die here, we cannot afford to let him live, he will disrupt the cosmic balance...": Ares was subjugated?! You need to die!

- Princess Artemis Olympus (furious, takes out her bow and aims at Arthur): Father let you live for too long, enough!

- Prince Perseus, Helios and Hercules (advance)

- Arthur Treadway (sees the four running towards him, with two swords in his hands, his eyes shine, dodges Hermes' punch, cuts his chest, dodges Hermes' kick, cuts Artemis' arrow)

- Alfred (in Arthur's mind) "Alert! Boss, there's a huge concentration of Qi behind you."

- Arthur Treadway (turns, sees Perseus, Helios, and Hercules trying to create a burst of Qi, dodges) "They were trying to distract me..."

- Prince Hermes Olympus (is hit by the explosion and is thrown away): AHHH!!

- Princess Artemis (bow in hand, looks at Perseus, Helios and Hercules): You idiots!

- Arthur Treadway (using the Qi substitution technique, attacks Hercules at an astonishing speed): I still haven't forgotten what you did at the academy!

- Prince Hercules Olympus (surprised, puts his sword in front to defend himself) "Very fast..."

- Arthur Treadway (destroys Hercules' sword and leaves a cut in his chest)

- Princess Artemis Olympus (sweating, with her bow in hand) "He's so fast, I can't keep up with his movements..."

- Princess Hera Olympus (watching Arthur's fight against her brothers, desperate) "NO!"- Emperor Qin (looks at Arthur, sighs) "Man, that speed is..."

- Prince Perseus and Artemis (trembling side by side, watching Arthur kill Helios)

 

- Arthur Treadway (looks at both of them): Your mistake was that you didn't bring martial artists, people who understand the ways of life and death...

- Princess Artemis Olympus (trembling shoots an arrow): Hmph, we don't need that to deal with you!

- Arthur Treadway (cuts her arrows and advances, about to cut off the heads of the two)

- Princess Artemis and Perseus (with Arthur's swords around their necks)

- Arthur Treadway (about to cut, feels a sword pierce his abdomen, stops) "Hmmm...?!"

- Arthur's soldiers (seeing Arthur being attacked, shout): Lord!!! (run towards Arthur)

 

- Princess Hera Olympus (with her sword piercing Arthur's body, crying): Forgive me, forgive me, but a lot of people are dying...

- Arthur Treadway (looks at Hera, no facial expression) "I thought it was you, but now you proved to me that you're like the others...": And what do you think a war is like?

- Princess Hera Olympus (stops in front of Arthur, crying): I can't stand to see so many people die because of me, I'm not a significant cause... (crying, puts her hand on Arthur's cheek): Please, end this war...

- Arthur Treadway (looking at her, feeling pain in his abdomen): I just needed their heads to end this, but you just prolonged the war...
