As our attack continued on.

Two scouts from the town were able to catch up to us.

They are supposedly to report the accurate direction of where the hostages are being taken.

***
"Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes climbing this ridge is a very bad idea you know"

The two men argues as they scale the mountain in a hurry to see what is the commotion on the other is about.

"What the hell, hurry you have to see this."

"Grab my hand."

"Here"

As they help each other the sound of rapid gunshots intesifies.

"What the hell is really going on", the first man exclaimed as he observes the ongoing battle

"Aren't those guys being killed", remarks by the other as observe a 8-man group being decimated within seconds.

"Yes, they are, and with some sort of magic weapon it seems."

"Can you confirm, if the carriage contains the hostages?"

"Wait a second..., Yes those white robes are unmistakably from the church."

"Then they are really going to cross the border then"

"Seems likely"

"We have to do something"

"Do what?, theres about a hundred men down there a probably a dozen mages that who knows if friendly or not"

"Then we have to get back and fast."

***

"Reloading!"

"Gotcha, Serefina"

"On your left, Liana!" Serefina shouts.

A man have gotten so close at Liana's position.

He was able not able stabbed her, Liana was able to draw her Rifle at him and quickly stabbeds him in the chest and followed by a large bang.

"Too close, too close" Liana replied.

I limit the girls to fire the M-14 at Semi only, firing it at full auto would sent them flying from the recoil.

But there are very peculiar situations like this one and that time fighting the goblins. The a full auto weapon is needed. A machine gun that can mow down large formations in a quick spray.

Thus while we gunned down the last remaining assailants, I think about how to properly recreate the venerable M-60 and M-16. And formulate a proper squad set-up found in the modern armies back on Earth.

But I'll think about it in some other time.

After all we still need to rescue Nataly.

We then slowly descent from the top of the hill. Passing by the dozens of dead bodies.

We slowly approached the carriages with the rifles aimed at the few guards left on their last stand.

They have no means of escape. We completely surround them.

And they know by now how much of a threat we are. As we decimated almost all their men.

"Stand still men, draw your swords prelare to fight, we have nowhere to run."

Their leader shouts at them.

"How in the heavens?, Let me handle this."

The Head Priest exclaimed as ge exited his own carriage.

"Their must be a compromise"

"You knew full well on what they can do"

"Let me, commander."

The priest then began to approached to us, with two guards behind him.

"Oh, great one, I, the Great Priest will approach you for a compromise."

I raise my hand and the whole groups stops their march. We are about to cross the foot deep river. The only thing that physically seperates us from them.

"Oh there really must be a compromise is it not?, I would offer you half the gold we will make on this endeavour of ours. Probably enough for your retirement I suppose. Just leave us on our own and we will be on our way"

"Aren't you being too generous?", I asked him sarcastically.

"Uh-huh, is my offer not enough?"

"You're to obsessed with the gold, High Priest. What if I could take them all for my own"

"That would not be possible, my Lord"

"So it seems"

"Serefina, do you see that guy in the most elegant armor around here?, the commander perhaps?"

"Yes, I could see him"

"Kill him"

The sound of an exploding mana crystal echoed throughout the valley. As the commander fell down on his feet. With his blown off.

Everyone was startled.

The Priest is surprised at my action.

"Drop your weapons if you want to live!" I ordered the shaken men's.

They quickly dropped their weapons and raised both their hands.

"Game over, priest"

He shriek.
