The Sword God

The princess and here entourage were gawking at the two like, they were crazy. Unfortunately, they didn't had any other option other than to follow them.

The guard captain arranged horses for both Alan and Ben. Both brothers rode together talking about their travel and adventures. Mostly about the places they had been to and the thing they were able to learn.

Sharon simply staired at their backs while riding. Her mind was racing, thinking about how to convince the Sword God to help them. And, how could she get out of the desperate situation.

It took them more than a couple of hours to reach the huge boulder on the horseback maintainingamoderatespeed, a place from where they would start travelling off the established road and start walking inside the forest.

After riding for a few minutes, they found it difficult to continue riding the horse further. The trees grew thicker, the path narrower, the jagged rocks and the tree roots were sticking out almost every other step.

They tied their horse on a small clearence and started to walk forward. After walking for an hour, they sensed some movement infront of them. Two people wearing crimson uniform appeared in front of them suddenly and halted their walk further.

They leared at the princess and looked disdainfully at the others like, they were the dirt under their feet.

"Beauty, The Sword God is waiting for your arrival. Don't be affraid, he had already prepared a soft bed for you for the night. Follow us..." one of the person in a crimson uniform said and turned to walk further.

After walking for another hour, they reached a large clearing. Not a natural one but human made, uprooting the trees and removing or destroying everything for hundreds of meters all around.

Nearly a hundred tents were errected and a wooden house was seen in the center. There were more than 200 brute looking mercenaries. This made everyone shiver visibly, except, Alan and Ben who were looking and taking stock of things around them with a calm demeanor.

All the eyes around them looked with killing intent and everyone were drooling at the Princess.

A tall, strong man in his late thirties sat casually on a high back chair wearing a golden long shirt and black trousers emitting a suffocating aura.

"Welcome to my settlement Princess Sharon." The man sitting on the chair spoke in a booming voice. " I am the Sword God. The undefeated and unmatched man in this Kingdom . You can say I might be unmatched even in this world."

The princess inclined her head with respect and her entourage also bowed slightly to show their respect.

"Sword God, the Aurora Kingdom need your vast expertise and strength to defend it's people and property against the oncoming Mountain Troll hoard."

" You can get any riches you want. Please help us in saving countless lives." Sharon begged the man.

" Ha ha ... Princes, I don't need any riches. What I need is you for the night and 20 virgin girls within the next 2 days for my rituals. Once we take care of the Troll problem, I need 101 virgin girls and a town for myself to do as I please. No intervention from the King. If not, I believe you know the consequences." He unleashed his killing inten making everyone shiver in fear and breath heavily.

What shocked everyone was that, the killing intent revealed by the man was not even close to the suffocating level of what Alan had unleashed inside the Inn earlier that day!
