Flash back
Mercy's POV.In front of us we saw the first wave of assault...a cloud of arrows rose to the air so many that the sky turned black.
We raised our shields for defence as the arrows started raining down laughing under the safety of our shields.
Looking in the direction of my now grown up son him smiling back at me."How about this old man, let's do a contest whoever cuts down the most soldiers wins".
I smiled back at him" I agree",............. I then shouted " Inventory!!!!"
The men replied.
" Lefu family all accounted for, no injured""Kitanga family all accounted for, no injured"
"Gani family all accounted for, no injured"
"Yasta family all accounted for, no injured"
I finnished with
"Iva family all accounted for......low let's show this bastards how real warriors fight"This was followed by a battle roar from the men.
I lowered my shield" Come boy we have a contest to finish...just don't cry when you lose"
He laughed then replied" Are you sure you are not projecting.....old man"
With that he jumped into the next ship
Landing with his axe leaving a gush of blood flowing where a soldier's head used to be.His assault made the other soldier start to shake in their boots.
I looked back at the other warriors and stated "that's my boy hehe".
I followed his move cutting down one and kicking another throwing him overboard.
Then used my shield to charge into another's face crushing it leaving him bleeding minus portions of his nose and a few teeth.Then finishing him of with a blow to the stomach leaving his guts on the floor.
Another charged at me spear in hand I simply blocked it with my shield then using my axe I swung at his lower limbs by the knee severing it's connection to the rest of his body.
The others seeing that jumped overboard, probably they thought they had a better chance in the water than with me.
"Hey old man don't tell me you are already tired?" my so tease while fighting of other soldiers in the ship.
I just nod and continue to charge at another enemy.All I could think about is how his mother was going to kill me if her son came back with even a scratch on him.
"Tired ? what do you take me for am Just getting fired up"
"Just like an old man hehe"
my son's taunting's made me start feeling like I was really getting old.
that moment of distraction proved to be almost fetal as a sword had a close shave with my head with a
whoosh!!!
this brought me back to my senses I turned charging towards my assailant body slamming into him which made his face contort in discomfort and pain. then I started dropping punches to his confused face after a few hits he past out.
After which I grabbed the nearest soldier by the neck headbutted him then used his on dagger against him.over by my Son's side I could see him enjoy himself in the battle ,he was toying with the other sides soldiers, I guess he was enjoying himself in the gore and despair he left on the soldiers. He was a man now. He was ready.
