The Strongest Swordsman

A few hours later the invaders dispersed and the city was finally safe once again, although it was abandoned and with very few guards.

- Mateuz I think the invaders are gone, wake up Pedro and let's see how the city is doing.

Then Kayo opened the cellar door slightly and looked for enemies through the small crack he had created and realized that the situation was already calmer.

While Mateuz woke up Pedro, Kayo, outside, saw the bodies of his mother from the mothers of his friends, cried a little and soon afterwards he went to look for Berthold, who had sacrificed himself to save them.

Running in search of Berthold through the smoke Kayo realized the real destruction caused by the invaders, there were many bodies in the city and almost all the houses were destroyed or on fire, the few people who were alive were already about to die.

Then everything started to pass in slow motion through kayo's head, his vision started to become blurred and after a brief stop he turned his head to the side and had a view of Berthold's body, his face was disfigured and the rest of his body there were several sword cuts.

He then started to cry and remember all the memories he had with Berthold, who he considered to be an older brother. thoughts like I was stronger started to cross your mind.

Kayo began to blame himself, even while he was mourning he heard a soldier approaching, and his blurred vision does not allow him to see if he was an enemy or a friend, Kayo was also hungry and without strength, since thanks to the surprise siege that happened 10 days did not allow him to get any food for 10 days.

He couldn't move so he just stood there.

Meanwhile, the soldier was getting closer and closer, and when he got close to the body he said.

- Berthold! It is not possible ... Rest in peace, friend.

The soldier looked quickly at the boy who was crying and said.

- Hey, you. Who are you?

Kayo replied Low, since he had used up the little strength he had running through the city.

- I'm Kayo, I'm a friend of Berthold, who are you?

- I'm Carl, who is said to be the strongest swordsman in this city.

Kayo trying to understand what was going on, passes out and falls to the ground

Carl picks up the passed out boy and starts charging towards his home. Meanwhile...

- Pedro wakes up soon, Kayo has already left.

Pedro gets up and leaves the basement together with mateuz, when the two are finally out of the basement they start looking for kayo and find him nowhere, so they start running around the city with the last forces left over looking for their friend. but without luck they can't find it

-Pedro arrives, we need to get out of here as soon as possible, let's go to the nearest village, let's go to the village of Petrarl.

- But what about Kayo? we can't abandon him like that, what if he's in danger?

- Stop being stupid, he must be safe, and another one we are just children without a house, city or food. there is nothing we can do alone.

Pedro reluctantly agrees with Mateuz, so the two return home so they can sleep for a while before leaving.

Meanwhile somewhere in the world.

- The city of Merthar has been destroyed, this is perfect, we can finally expand and conquer the sacred tree.

- That's right, your majesty, what are your orders?

- Prepare 4 squads of our army and send to conquer the city of Merthar.

- what about civilians in the city?

- Kill them all.

- Yes majesty.

A few hours later somewhere in the city of Merthar.

- Hey boy, wake up.

Kayo wakes up and realizes that he is in an unknown place.

- Where I am?

- We are in the city castle. The invaders did not take everything, there was some fruit in the kitchen.

Kayo takes an apple from her side and starts eating.

- Have you seen my friends?

- Who are your friends?

- They are two boys who are the same age as me.

- I have no idea who's talking. Anyway, I'm going to take you out of this city with me, Berthold had

told me about you, I'm not going to let you die here.

- What did Berthold say to me about you?

- When the time comes you will find out.

A few hours later they got ready and left the city.

Soon after they leave the city a second enemy army invades the city and begins to kill everyone inside the city.

Mateuz and Pedro hear all the commotion, take their things and go out the back of the house, the soldiers are passing in front of their house and heading towards the castle.

- Mateuz be quiet, they are in front of us.

The two remained as quiet as possible while the soldiers passed, but Pedro cannot help himself and coughs.

*Cough*

- Hey did you hear that?

- Yes, check behind the house.

Two soldiers approached slowly with swords in hand towards the back of the house. They are getting closer and closer, so when they are very close to the back they turn towards the back and ...
