Chapter 65

Kane had never fought a battle using only stealth in this new world. It was exciting to completely conquer the clan without any resistance. It brought back many memories from his time as a seal.

The clan also had a lot of stolen treasures including Allea's statue. He took a few things that he found interesting or useful but would give the rest to the town.

Kane was about finding some books as the more he learns about the world the better. Plus if they mention certain groups or races he gets the chance of unlocking new troop options. Most of the time the things he unlocks are too expensive but you never know.

The sounds of very terrible but joyous singing could be heard. Kane looked to see Dallin and a few other men singing and laughing. Kane was happy that Dallin got his revenge. The man had been loyal since the beginning he was not only a warrior but a friend.

Kane's group had guards and scouts so he was not worried about being abused or attacked. The singing was loud but it did not matter. Kane and some others even joined in.

The group was getting close to the village when an orc rider could be seen heading towards Kane.

"What's going on?" asked Jag who was next to Kane.

"We have news! Kokarian Knights have entered Crazus Town. They are causing trouble and blaming the disappearance of their troops on the people. They have injured some guards and the Mayor could be heard talking to one of them. It looks like they could soon be in danger."

"Damn!" Kane furrowed his eyebrows. "Everyone let's ride at top speed! Time to show the might of Deus Belli and the Iron Rose! Orcs can come too! We will show our power and protect the people!"

Kane and his men rushed through the woods and Kane started to worry. He hoped he could help them in time. He was even willing to show off the orcs which he had hidden before.

"Do you still wish to stick to your lies? It is not wise to anger me. You should have been happy that our King was kind enough to offer his help to you."

A knight stood in front of Mayor Luth. Luth had a bruise on his face and his family was behind him with the other townspeople looking frightened. Vern was lying on the ground covered in blood and Lo was casting healing spells on the man.

"Sir I promise that we had no idea what happened to your men. They just disappeared. We thought they abandoned us."

"Utter trash!" the knight kicked the Mayor who fell onto the ground.

"Father!" cried Yea.

"Please sir knight I promise we have nothing to do with the disappearance of your troops. Please leave us in peace. We mean no harm" said Lo.

"Hmm well, you will still pay. You may pay with blood or gold."

"I choose blood!"

Everyone's face showed shock as the knight who was beating on the Mayor had an arrow fly into his neck. It's a shame he was not wearing a helmet.

The Kokarian knights started dropping like rain and loud yells could be heard.

The entrance to the town became a battlefield.

The townspeople were filled with fear but also reverence. They knew this was Kane and his men and they were overjoyed to be saved by him. The only thing was that it was a bit worrying that he had orcs with him.

"For Crazus Town!" yelled Kane and his men.
