Once i was ready to go i Teleported to the front doors, and to my surprise Lilith was waiting for me already, she was wearing her full Battle set which consisted of a set of Gauntlets that were way too big for her hands, and nearly no armor, she was the definition of a glass cannon.
It wasn't common for me to be close to the surface mansion, many people would overlook the entirety of the Last Bastion since finding the entrance to it was a difficult thing to find, and If I didn't have my master ring then I might struggle to get around, but not the point Village we were going to see wasn't too far and we could have likely just used a teleport spell to get there but I needed to see everything around us so I decided to go on foot.
and the surroundings were exactly as the scouting party had described there were lush forests surronding the entire place, but to the north there are mountains.
Lilith hadn't spoken a word "So what do you think of Humans" I asked, she simply shrugged "I haven't interacted with them so I don't belive I'm qualified to answer that" I nodded "Well are their any other Guardians, Great or not that you are close to?" she nodded but didn't answer, then she asked a question "Are you Close to any of the Guardians" I shrugged "You Could say me and Astra are close but I guess that is what happens when you create something... Sorry for the short rambling" she shook her head "No need to be sorry".
we didn't talk for a while after that we just walked in a somewhat awkward silence, the silence was a little weird especially since we were in a forest and you know forests aren't normally quite unless they were being silenced by Something or someone "Focus Lilith, I belive we may be being watched" she nodded and stepped in front of me "As a Guardian I must protect the Last Great one" Lilith said.
I Nodded "And as the Last Great one I must protect all of you" she seemed to understand my idea and moved back behind me " we are getting close to where the Human Village is" there was a Small amount of iron in the air as we approached the village it seemed more and more likely that the human village had been destroyed before we reached it "Lilith are you able to cast the 4th tier spell Fly?" she shook her head "No, My Lord I'm unable to cast Fly but Amara is able to cast many Spells" I nodded "Would you like me go back and get her?" I shook my head "No need, that spell would have just made it a little easier" she nodded and we continued to walk to the village since wqe had no found a path of sand.
the smell of blood got stronger with every step as we got their gates witch were knocked down, I kneeled down and examined the break patterns "Brute force" I mutter to myself, lilith was nodding "We should move with caution we don't know if these creatures are strong my Lord" she said it again, most guardians called me Great General or General but Lilith was among the few who called me Lord or Master which I found odd since I didn't create her so she shouldn't be calling me that, but I guess maybe it was something her creator did.
she readied a Massive Battleaxe, I summoned my Plasma Blade "Did you hear Something?" she shook her head "Just a bit causes" I nodded and continued to move through the village, there were goblin bodies "Seems likely that an Ogre destroyed that wall" she nodded.
There was an unfamiliar sound to me it was sharp and weird, I a Barely audible whisper I asked Lilith "Do you know what that sound is" she nodded "Goblin War Crys" as we moved closer to the Source of the sound the more human body I found "Seems the Goblins raided this town" she nodded.
the goblins had surrounded a single house and were taunting what I guessed to be humans inside "I Would Like to talk to your Cheif" once again another strange sound came from the goblins but I knew this one to be laughing I sighed, "You DARE TAKE LORD ZENITHS WORDS SO LIGHTL, FOR THAT YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIVEs" ane before I could stop Lilith she had killed half of the goblins, and well the rest of them ran away, I smacked Lilith on the head "You must not act without thought, they could have been valuable in some way" she bowed "I Shall take my Life for this mistake" she raised her battleaxe to her neck, I Grabbed the blade and pulled it away "No need, just think about your actions, and ill let this one go since it was in defense of my Name" she nodded and I looked down, I was just a robot "To not frighten the Humans I'm going to wear different cloths and a mask" she shook her head "Why, even the lowly humans should gaze upon your perfection Lord Zenith" I sighed "once again its for the safety of the bastion"
25 Minutes latter
I wore a basic mask along with a robe that covered my entire body 'Knock, Knock' "its safe to come out now" I heard mumurs from the people inside about the king maybe sending guards or something but the report reported that the nearest kingdoms was quite far from this small village, slowly the door opend
