/ Thump!/
I jumped back a bit of a distance, sure there's Elves behind me, but it looks like my little opening assault has made them fearful enough to give me space.
" DIE!"
/ CLANG!/
Except for one!
" You can take a breather, you know?"
" No jokes! Die!"
/ CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!/
Okay, maybe I was mistaken, I don't think he thinks like me, I think he's just pissed off. It doesn't take a long look around the battlefield to see why, whichever Elves I didn't kill, were currently groaning in pain, but I didn't have much of a choice since they were charging at my men and me.
/ CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!/
He's just swinging his sword hoping to hit, it doesn't look like he's thinking too much, if that's the case...
/ CLANG!/
I waited for his sword swing and quickly parried it, with him like that, I quickly raised my blade as he tried to recalibrate his position, but he wasn't fast enough. I swung Scarlet down as quickly as I could, with this it should be ov-
/ BOOM!/
" Ah!"
/ Thump!/
I got hit... Who the hel-
" Did you forget about me, Marquess Drake?"
He gloated as I fell to the floor... Julia's Armor was able to protect me from the damage, but I don't know how long it'll last since that arrow was able to break through it. The one who attacked me was Lieutenant Colonel Allen Lee. I was wondering where he went, a look at his leg told me that he looked for a place to patch his injury, the white bandage with a large red spot tells me that he did a good enough job, I was just hit with a Fireball Spell... That's not exactly great for me.
" Lieutenant Colonel Lee! You... You're alive!"
" Of course I am, Morgan, now calm yourself! You're not a lowly human, but a proud Elf! Act like it, what do you expect our men to do, if their Leader cannot control his emotions!"
" I... Yes Sir!"
" What's got you in such a fit? Did the human's mouth get to you, Private?"
" N... No, Sir! It's just that... Our men... He's harmed so many of our Brothers and Sisters."
" They served Our Country with pride and died bravely on the field of battle! There's no greater Honor for us all! Isn't that right, Brothers!? Sisters!?"
" YEAAAHHHHH!"
Great, he's good at crowd work... But seriously, this isn't good, he's boosted the morale of the troops that were too afraid to do anything just a moment ago and now they're looking at me like a piece of meat... This isn't good, I need to retreat while I still can... Where the hell is Lieutenant Bobby and the rest of the troops?
" Oh? Where are you looking to, Marquess Drake? You're surrounded, there is no escape, don't you get it? It's over for you. We're going to drag you back to Alfheim, we're going to put you on trial and King Maximus Minerva is going to judge you guilty for all of your crimes."
" What crimes exactly? Surviving? Fighting against my captors?"
I couldn't help but comment about this reasoning, how the hell are you going to say to me that escaping from that freak who was going to torture me to death was a bad thing. Or the fact that they brought me there against my will and wouldn't let me go, they kept in a cold stone and metal cell and when I wasn't in a cell I was wrapped in chains and subjected to an idiot trying to brainwash me.
