Chapter 7: The End Of The Knights Part Three

while Arthur, yusuf and pedro were heading towards Napels to get rid of Edward, an ambush was waiting for them set up by Harry. the real question is how did Edward knew that the assassins are coming for him and how did he know the exact time and the exact road they are taking!?

Arthur: you guys know it's not going to be easy taking care of Edward right!

Pedro: what do you mean!!

Yusuf: Edward will be on high alert, specially after what happened to his fellow knights

Arthur: something is wrong, I can feel it

(Pedro thinking)

while the assassins were walking suddenly and out of nowhere 10 armed men jumped right infront of them, the assassins pulled their swords out to fight these men

Arthur: an ambush

Yusuf: how the hell did they know where we coming from!!

Pedro with and evil smile on his face puts a knife in Yusuf's neck

Pedro: it's over Yusuf put down your sword. you too Arthur

Arthur with a shocked face: what the hell you think you're doing!!

Harry comes from behind his men

Harry: good job Pedro, father will be proud of you

Arthur: who will be proud of who!!

Harry: don't play dumb Arthur, you know what i'm talking about right

Arthur takes off his hoody: when did you know that i'm still alive!!

Harry: just a couple days before when i met Pedro here while he was doing an assassination contract, I payed one of the villagers to hire an assassin and I waited for him to arrive, when he arrived my men caught him and brought him to me, i'm not gonna lie to you Arthur I wanted to kill him and take his head to father but after I questionted him about the assassins and he mentioned your name I changed my mind, I promised him a lot of gold and a position in my army if he accepts, so he did

Arthur turns to Pedro: so you choose money over you brothers and over your cause huh you traitor

Pedro: wake up to reality Arthur, do you really think that we can defeat the missionaries, you're more stupid than I thought

Arthur talks to Harry: does this means that your father and Frederic know that i'm still alive!!

Harry: don't worry about that I haven't told them yet, I thought bringing them your head as a prove would be better than just telling them

Arthur: huh, you don't say

Harry takes his sword: oh, you have no idea how much I waited for this , i'm gonna kill you're friend infront of you first then I will take my time with you

Harry waves his sword to stab Yusuf, suddenly an arrow come from a tree hits Harry in his arm and drops his sword, Yusuf hits Pedro is his stomach picks up his sword along with arthur and both of them got ready to fight

Harry orders his men to kill both of them so the missionaries attack Yusuf and Arthur and a fight begin

Harry: do you really think that two men can beat a group of the best men the missionaries have huh

Both of Arthur and Yusuf are having troubles fighting the missionaries, a soldier approaches Arthur from behind to stab him but again another arrow comes from a tree kills the soldier and saves Arthur

Harry: who are you, show yourself you coward

While Harry was distracted Arthur and Yusuf killed all of the missionaries

Harry turns back and sees both of Arthur and Yusuf approaching toward him covered in blood, he gets scared and turns to Pedro

Harry: looks like we're going to fight them by ourselves

Pedro: yes my lord

Harry: you take the other assassin and leave Arthur to me if we win this fight, and I know we will, i'll make reaaaaly rich

Pedro gets happy: don't worry my lord I got your back

Harry faces arthur while Pedro focusses on Yusuf

Pedro talking to Yusuf: if you surrender now and leave we'll let both of you live

Arthur and Yusuf with a sarcastic smile approaching Pedro and Harry

Harry attacks Arthur and Arthur blocks him, while Harry is fighting Arthur with all of his strength, he sees that Arthur is only fighting with one hand and putting the other one behind his back so he gets angry and attacks Arthur without thinking, Arthur dodges Harry and knocks his sword from his hand and puts his sword on Harry's neck

Arthur: it looks like this time daddy won't be here to help you isn't he!!

Harry with an angry face: shut up and get this over with you bastard

in the meantime Pedro attacks Yusuf but Yusuf blocks him and kicks him in his chest and throws him to the ground

Yusuf: get up and pick up your sword you traitor

Pedro gets up and picks up his sword and attacks Yusuf again, but Yusuf blocks him one more time and kicks him again and throws him to the ground

Yusuf approaches Pedro: this is not how an assassin fights, you no longer an assassin

Yusuf waves his sword to kill Pedro but Pedro starts crying and begs Yusuf not to kill him so Yusuf stoppes and decides to take Pedro to the village to be trialled. while Yusuf turns to see what happend to Arthur and Harry's battle, Arthur screams to Yusuf

Arthur: BEHIND YOU YUSUF BEHIND YOU

Yusuf turns and sees Pedro trying to attack him from behind so Yusuf waves his sword to kill him but Pedro throws a dust from him hand on Yusuf's eyes and blind him, Yusuf can't see anything so Pedro immediately stabs Yusuf with his knife. Arthur gets shocked and distracted by what happend so Harry kicks Arthur is his knee and grabs his sword to kill him but Arthur pulls out his hidden knife and stabs Harry in his throat and kills him in his place, after that Arthur gets up and starts running towards Yusuf, jumps in the air to assassinate Pedro but Pedro once again starts crying and begging Arthur not to kill him but Arthur assassinates him before he finishes talking

Arthur takes a piece of his clothes and puts it on Yusuf's wound to stop the bleeding, Arthur picks up Yusuf and puts him on the horse and mounts it and rides to the assassins village.

when Arthur and Yusuf arrived to the assassins village, Yusuf's wife saw him on the back of Arthur's horse and started running towards him

Arthur: we need help quickly

Elizabeth crying: what happend to him

Arthur: we got ambushed, where's the grand master

Hassan: he's in the top of the mountain, why?

Arthur: Gather the mentors and meet me at the grand master, we need to talk

Hassan: what about Mario, he still in millan

Arthur: send a pigeon to him, I need all the mentors to be here

Hassan: all right, i'm on it

Arthur goes to the grand master

The grand master: what brings you to me my boy?

Arthur: master, let's wait for the mentors to come and them we talk

the mentors arrived

Mario: what happened to Yusuf?

Arthur: he got stabbed

all of the mentors got shocked

Robert: what enemy managed to stab Yusuf?

Arthur: is wasn't an enemy, we got betrayed

Islam: betrayed!? betrayed by who? and where the hell is Pedro?

Arthur: that traitor is dead

the mentors with shocked face: that what?

Arthur: you heard me, Pedro betrayed us for money and dragged us to an ambush, luckily we managed to kill them with someone's help

Andre: I can't believe that Pedro betrayed us

Arthur: I don't care what you believe, this is the truth, now let us get down to business,

we lost 5 mentors, some of them died a heroic death and others died a coward's death, what we need to do now after your permission grand master is to assign 5 mentors, we can't lead all the assassins and the people we recruited by only 6 mentors

The grand master: you are right my boy, the fight for our cause shall continue but for now we need to wait for Yusuf to recover and then we discuss the recruitment of the other mentors

Arthur: you're right grand master, after recruiting the other 5 mentors we are going to gather all of the assassins along side all of the allies we gathered and go straight to Naples, from now on my fellow mentors ready yourselves and your men

THE WAR WILL BEGIN AFTER ONE MONTH
