Chapter 393: Return to Lionheart Town
A man dressed in the armor of the Lionheart Town City Guard burst into the main chamber of a huge manor. The lower half of the building was fortified with stone and it was so large it wouldnt be much of a stretch to call it a Castle or Fortress rather than just a manor. The guards boots scuffed on the smooth stone tiles and he dropped to his knees in front of a man who was busy admiring a large painting on the wall.
A look at the painting would quickly draw a comparison with the man standing in front of it. He was busy running his hand over his short goatee and admiring the painting of himself. The guard didnt lift his head, it was now a well known taboo not to look at the City Lords face. He could only hold up his hands, with cupped fists and call out to him, Forgive me for disturbing you, my Lord. There is an emergency from the gates! Five people have arrived demanding you come out and the guards can not stop them!
The man looking at the painting was startled from his revelry and turned over towards the guard with a sneer, Just five? Who are they? Where are they from?
Please forgive me, Sir. They did not say, but they are not wearing the uniform of any of the great powers. They are dressed very strangely. They havent killed anyone yet, but we are unable to capture or harm them in any way.
A bunch of nobodies trying to use me as a stepping stone, huh? What exactly did they say?
The guard felt cold sweat pouring down his back and staining his forehead, If I were to repeat such things I
Just say it.
At that time, the five offenders still didnt seem very worried, their faces completely calm, even cold. Some of them began to point out a few of the Jade Horde members and then they all shared a cold gaze. The same loudmouth who spoke at the gates stepped up again, reaching up to fluff his white fur collar before yelling again, If it isnt the Strongfist Brothers! Three useless monkeys, following around a pathetic excuse for a City Lord and cleaning up his crap!
The three in question were each sitting next to the Legionnaires of the three Legions. They were mounted on those bright silver Vulture Geckos and leading two hundred cavalry. According to the plan long ago, Sage had aimed for half of each Legion to be normal infantry, along with two hundred cavalry and three hundred archers. Twelve years later, it seems his plan had long been implemented, they no longer suffered from a shortage of equipment and mounts.
The three insulted men gave an order of their own. They outranked the Legionnaires in charge of the three legions, as the three of them shared a single position in the Seven Stars. Even though theyd broken to Core Formation, they were still looked down upon by the other members of the Seven Stars and treated as a single person. Abbot Kunga still hadnt broken through and formed his core, yet he was still seen as superior to the three brothers. They also knew that the other Seven Stars looked down upon Qian De, the rich jerk who bought his way in, but because of his wealth the Seven Stars always treated him with great dignity. The Strongfist Brothers were always left at the bottom of the pecking order when it came to their internal politics. They always had to hold in their anger and stay humble in front of the others, but now some no name nobodies were here insulting them?
The three Legions of the Jade Horde clanked their halberds against their shields and started to advance towards the five trapped in the center. They tightened the encirclement slowly and carefully, turning the thousand yard square into a five hundred yard square. As they moved, the soldiers started to change positions. The front line of soldiers stayed in a shield wall, but those in the back started to form up into formations. Their armor started to glow, a dozen took a hexagonal shape and those around them formed into spiraling lines. Three of these formations formed up behind each of the shield walls, one each for the archers, cavalry and infantry. Given their different roles, they were free to swap formations separately from the others. Such coordination would be astounding among normal troops, something only the most highly trained and elite troops could pull off, but it was a very normal thing for the Jade Horde and the source of their reputation.
Its just too bad that the five they surrounded didnt care at all. They didnt move when the troops surrounded them. They didnt move when the troops started to move closer, and they didnt move when glowing defensive formations began to spring up around the Jade Horde. The troops reached the five hundred yard mark and stopped. Then, those in the back lifted their crossbows into the air and released a volley of bolts. Finally, the five severely outnumbered people moved.
Well, one of them did. As before, the short one lifted his sword and gave it a large wave. Energy spilled forth from the tip of his sword and up into the sky, swirling around and forming clouds in its wake. Just like that, the weather changed in that small area and the troops of the Jade Horde could feel the cold winds blasting against them. Snow fell from newly formed clouds and the winds picked up as a tiny blizzard formed above them. The furious wind and snow clipped the wings of those falling crossbow bolts. The short and stubby arrows seemed to lose their punch. The five standing in the center faced their backs together and they didnt even bother using weapons. Waving their hands to bat away the hundreds of bolts falling down on them like rain.
