Kim's POV
And so, I met up with elizabeth and mark at the fire place as planned. It looks like mark was trying to flirt with elizabeth but she just looked bored.
"Hey, I'm here" I said.
"Its about time! You-" Mark was cut off when he saw Ace with me.
"Wha-wha-what is going on!? Why is lord ace with you?!" Mark exclaimed with a shocked face.
Meanwhile, elizabeth just bowed down to ace and greeted him.
"Hey, quit with the lord. Just call me ace dimbwits." Ace said.
"What did you say to me?!" Mark shouted angrily and I have to hold him back from punching ace.
"Enough mark, that is just his personality. He's on our team anyway so please get along." I said while holding mark back.
"Wait, you are saying that the prince of the empire is a dick and is following us to the archidon territory?" Mark asked.
"Hey, you want to go at it?" Ace said angrily.
His expression turned intimating and he had a strong killing intent coming from him. Mark was intimated and immediately bowed down to ace.
"My apologies my lord!" Mark shouted in fear.
Elizabeth just watched the drama with me and asked, "Is mark always like this?"
"Yea, he was always timid but he is smart and thinks of a plan quickly during a sticky situation." I replied with a smile.
Out of POV
And so, the four brave soldiers set out to the archidon territory to carry out diplomacy.
"So we are going to Timber town huh?" Mark asked.
"Yea, that's the closest town in the archidon territory from the empire." Kim said.
"But how are we going to go inside? We can't just enter wearing order empire uniforms, we will just get captured or even killed." Elizabeth asked.
"That's why I came prepared." Kim said while taking something out of his bag.
"Here, this may help to disguise ourselves during the journey." Kim said while taking out 4 cloaks.
"How did these fit inside your bag?" Mark asked.
"Don't ask..." Kim answered.
Ace just kept silent throughout the journey, not even a single word has left his mouth.
2 hours later
"I can't walk anymore!" Mark complained.
"Come on, just a little more to Timber town, that is not even our destination. Our destination is Aoks city, the archidon capital to meet the Leader of the archidon faction." Kim said.
"Ugh... But I really can't go on." Mark grumbled.
"Jeez you are such a pain." Ace said. Mark just glared at him.
"Look! I can see Timber town!" Elizabeth shouted, looking into the distance.
The others looked and are relieved to see their first checkpoint. However, Timber town has smoke coming from it...
"Hey, what's with the smoke?" Kim asked.
"It could be under siege." Ace said.
"WHAT?! It is true that the swordwrath are fast paced and savages but they could not have advanced this far right?" Mark shouted.
"Or maybe it is not the swordwrath but another enemy?" Elizabeth asked.
"I do not know, but let's go check it out fast." Kim said and suddenly broke into a sprint.
"Hey! Wait up!" Elizabeth shouted behind him, running behind.
"Jeez, guess I have to join too." Ace said and also breaking into a sprint.
"Hey! You guys are just gonna leave me behind? Oh dammit kim!" Mark shouted, breaking into a weak sprint.
20 minutes later, at Timber town, Kim's POV
When I was about 100 metres from the gates of Timber town, I could not believe my eyes. The town is under siege by marauders. They were previous soldiers from the swordwrath and archidons who either ran away or chased away from their own factions.
"Hey recon team, are you ready for battle?" I asked.
My team immediately got their weapons and are radiating off killing intent (Except Mark of course).
"I'll take that as a yes." I said as I take out my club.
"Let's go get to work." I said.
