A Very Difficult Mission 6

The group of soldiers was near a large wall of natural earth, Jack ordered the soldiers to approach that wall of natural earth so that they were not attacked from one side.

So they just had to defend the attack from the lions that came from the front and the left, so the lions approached the soldiers who were wearing the shield, the soldiers were nervous about the attack of the lions even though Jack said they would be fine because they had no experience.

The 7 lions hit the shield hard and the soldiers who were defending almost released the shield with the force of the impact of the attack of the lions who used their weight to try to break the defense of the soldiers.

Jack wasted no time and took advantage that the lions were stunned after the attack and attacked with his sword on the lion's neck that the archers had wounded, Jack was unable to kill the lion in an attack but cut the lion's throat and blood began to get out of the wound.

Jack was quick and went back to behind the soldiers who were using the shields, the soldiers who were using the shield were concerned because they did not know how long they could endure defending.

"Did you see how I attacked? You must do what I did after the lions were driven away by our soldiers, we have to try to kill these lions quickly because the soldiers using the shield may not be able to last much longer."

Jack gave the instructions to the soldiers and to Aaron who was leading the soldiers who used the sword, Aaron had to find the right time to send the soldiers to attack, just like Jack said they had to be quick too.

Soon the lions attacked again and the soldiers using the shield were able to defend more easily this time, but this time the lions were not stunned and Jack prevented the soldiers from attacking.

Soon the lions attacked again and Jack and the other soldiers attacked the lions when the lions attacked, it managed to hurt the lions, but it did not hurt them deeply because the soldiers could not even attack properly.

Jack thought it was a shame that soldiers did not use a spear, otherwise, this fight would be much easier for them to win, but a spear was more useful only in this type of situation, in war with humans the sword could be better than using the spear.

After a few attacks, the lions were much more injured and the lion that Jack cut his throat was almost dead, but the soldiers who wore the shield were also exhausted and did not know if they could defend the lions' next attack.

"Soldiers, now the time has come when we will have to attack, the soldiers who are defending us cannot stand to defend anymore and the lions are injured and tired, attack with me, but be careful not to be hit by the lions."

Jack said that and the other soldiers were nervous knowing that they would have to fight without being protected by the shields, they were brave soldiers and would fight even if they ended up dying in that fight.

Jack took some pepper bombs from his bag and attacked the lions who were disoriented by the strong smell of pepper, at that moment Jack went on the attack and the soldiers followed him.

Jack approached one of the injured lions and attacked hard using the sword almost cutting two of the lion's legs, the other soldiers saw this and did the same by attacking the lions' legs.

The lions did not expect an attack after they became disoriented and were unable to defend themselves and were attacked, but the lions still tried to attack even wounded, the soldiers managed to get away from the lions in time.

"Archers, attack the lions until they die."

Jack had planned to do this to win this fight safely, he and the soldiers who used the sword moved away and the archers began to attack the lions who were injured and unable to walk because of their severed paws.

Archers who were safe had more patience and hit most of the arrows on the lions that were hit by more than 5 arrows, Jack did not ask the archers to stop until he can see that the lions had died.

This was a tougher fight than Jack expected because he and the archers couldn't seriously injure some of the lions before the fight started, the soldiers who wore the shield were impressed to see that they couldn't take the shield any more after just a few attacks from the lions.

Jack was satisfied with this fight in which no one was hurt and the soldiers were able to gain more experience in difficult fights against wild animals which were something they did not have before, of course, Jack preferred that no more lions appear on this mission because the soldiers could hurt.

"All of you did very well in this fight, fighting with lions is very difficult and this time we were very unlucky in this fight because the lions saw us very quickly, the ideal was that the archers and I could hurt the lions before the fight started."

"But after this fight, you managed to gain more experience and in the next fights against wild animals, we will be able to win more easily.

"This fight was mainly important for you soldiers who use the shield, you realized how difficult it is to defend against the attacks of stronger wild animals, I will say that you would be lucky if you were able to defend against just one attack by a bear."

"That's why I always say that animals and humans are different, when a bear appears we have to kill them before they can attack, otherwise you will only be able to defend once."

After this fight, the soldiers would learn to trust what Jack said and they would also be more careful fighting wild animals, fortunately on that day when all the soldiers were tired but no animals appeared and they set up camp to sleep.

The other day the soldiers continued up the mountains, the soldiers knew about the limited amount of food they had so they moved quickly to look for where the thieves were.

Jack began to think that it had been a waste of time to interrogate the thieves they had captured because they did not say clearly where the base of the bandits, that day on the mountain Jack's group met with two Grizzly Bears.

The soldiers knew that this fight could be dangerous and they heard Jack, Jack prepared some traps that he had brought, these traps could not hold bears for long, but they could seriously injure bears.
