Invasion

Since they had already gained access to the village they did not need to waste their efforts on crossing the first wall.

Even if they didn't gain access they believed they could climb over or break the gate with ease because the walls were made of wood and the main outer walls had only undergone a year or so of building.

The wall at the bottom of the high terrain had been built around the land belonging to the Bombyx family and an artificial river had been built around it so it made it difficult for them to enter into the Bombyx families land.

The outer wall protected the villagers, the next wall protected the land of the Bombyx family and then upon walking up the hills to the higher terrain there was a fortified wall which protected the mansion.

The group of blood sect members and villagers needed to still pass the two walls before they could get to the Bombyx family.

The group gathered their ladders and began to climb over the walls but someone quickly noticed their presence and began to blow a horn to notify the family of intruders.

The moment the horn was blown it began to let Ki and others know of the invasion.

Ki sat at the top of the walls protecting the mansion while looking down at the small figures below.

To her eyes the invaders were nothing more than ants that she was overlooking and could crush with a wave of her hand from above but soon she turned back towards Isaac, Rashida and Marilyn and spoke. "Is everything prepared?""

Isaac nodded. "Yes, I have arranged a group to prepare to act immediately upon receiving orders"

"Good, Rashida and Marilyn you both are on standby for this battle. You may be needed if things get out of control but for now your orders are to observe the battle and learn from it. Today our enemies are martial artists who have many numbers and are lead by a group which can be considered to have some second rate martial artists mixed in with the third rate martial artists. Their leader is estimated to be either a second or first rate martial artist so if they push through be prepared to enter the battle to relieve the others burden." Ki gave an analysis of the enemies strength and began to give some more instructions.

While Isaac went to overlook the battlefield, Rashida and Marilyn clutched their weapons readily anticipating the upcoming battle.

The ladders were placed on the walls and held up by those who stood within the artificial river, the village head and the members of the blood sect watched as the villagers worked to climb the wall.

Finally a few of them dropped down the other side of the wall and rushed to lower the drawbridge and open the gates.

The men who spotted the intruders had already climbed down the wall before the villagers could prepare the ladders and began to gain some distance.

They quickly began to run up towards the mansion to notify everyone about the numbers of those invading.

This allowed no casualties to be had from the side of the Bombyx family and at the same time made the invaders believe that the Bombyx family could not put up a fight against them.

The actions of the men escaping helped to allow the group from the blood sect and the villagers to gain confidence that their invasion would be successful and without much resistance.

Soon the gates were opened and the draw bridge was let down to allow everyone inside and the men who escaped had successfully climbed the hill and entered the gates of the wall protecting the mansion.

One of the men was panting heavily and bowed to Isaac. "There are around 50 of them and most of them are the villagers. So it's estimated that around ten to fifteen of them are the real threats, the men from the blood sect and the village head are mostly staying behind and pushing the villagers to act first. Although they are a little vigilant they seemed to have fallen for our little trick of running away without putting up any resistance. The villagers aren't heavily armed with any proper weapons, mostly tools but the blood sect members do have their own weapons."

Isaac nodded while placing his hand on his chin while in thought. "Have the first team on standby and ready to act upon my call."

The villagers began to climb the hill straight up rather than taking the long way around by the pathway and were followed by the the blood sect group and the village head not too far behind.

Upon reaching around halfway up the villagers began to see the mansion walls gate open up.

A group of 10 people dressed in masks and hoods lined up in formation at the top of the hill and began to take out a bow and arrow.

They pulled back the strings and aimed upwards in the villagers direction and when a signal was given they let loose the arrows.

10 arrows flew through the sky and began to fall down within the range of the villagers who had been grouped together while climbing.

Around 7 of the arrows hit and target but while the villagers began to panic a little the blood sect members began to shout. "Don't worry just pull the arrow out and you should be able to heal from the wound so long as it isn't fatal. You will get used to it."

The archers did not seem to be disturbed by how their attacks only succeeded in killing one person within the group and wounding 6 of them and smoothly began to reload their arrows into their bows. "Pull….aim!…and release!"

Some got hit by another barrage of arrows while some others who had just gotten in range began to get hit.

One person was successful in dodging an arrow but unfortunately walked into the path of another before having to remove it from their body.
