14 The rain of arrows

The next morning, when they had enough sleep and recovered the strength to continue their journey, Linhardt hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Juno.

Even before he reached Juno's room, Jagal immediately blocked him.

You cannot just enter without permission from our leader.

Kilian called Linhardt and asked why he was in such a hurry.

Linhardt replied that he just wanted to introduce them to Juno right away. Linhardt's face shows the eagerness to see Juno again, and Seth can also notice it.

after a while, Juno came out because she could hear the noise outside her room.

She saw Linhardt and his companions whom they helped.

She wondered why they were rushing to see him early in the morning. Lucius suddenly replied that they wanted to leave immediately. Linhardt just insists on saying goodbye to you first.

Juno was surprised to learn that they wanted to leave immediately.

he still wanted to ask something from Linhardt's colleagues, especially Lucius, because he was also a Leo.

Seth smiled and whispered to Linhardt. Now I understand why you came here in such a hurry. The leader of the Velums is very beautiful. Seth also appreciates the beauty of Juno and keeps on teasing Linhardt.

Linhardt blushed again and told Seth she was thinking wrong. he just wanted to say goodbye, and he also wanted to thank Juno for everything she did for them.

Juno asked where they were going, and Lucius replied that he just wanted to go home to his Desi. Kilian added that they wanted to bring Linhardt to Chyros Desi.

he read Juno's mind and quickly learned that she already knew Linhardt's secret of being a Leo. Kilian pulled his hair and showed Juno that he was a Libra.

Juno understood what Kilian wanted to convey, and she also could not lie in front of a Libra.

Honestly, I wish you could have stayed here longer since Linhardt already got my attention.

I want to know how and what else he can do to have that Zodiac ability because this is also the first time that I've seen a Leo who can see that he has the chance to unlock his full potential. I'm sorry, sir Lucius.

Before they could continue their conversation, they suddenly heard a loud cry from a Velum who was guarding the tower.

There's an army outside that wants to attack our Desi! three assassins were in front, surrounded by about a hundred soldiers on horseback. and they were holding the banner of the house of VEA!

What?! they all shouted at the same time, hearing Velum's warning of the attack.

Juno wasted no more time and immediately instructed Jagal to alert everyone in Velos Desi. they need to act quickly to be prepared for the siege that is about to come.

everyone inside Velos Desi moved quickly. Juno asked the Velum guard how much time they had left before the marching VEA soldiers arrived. it seems that they only have one hour left. That's too much time for us to get ready, Juno answered. Linhardt and his companions also wanted to help, so Juno handed them a bow and arrows. and she said, we will show the house of VEA what kind of strength we Velums have.

when the soldiers of the house of VEA stepped on the border within the sight and hearing of the velums, they stopped first, and an arrow came forward in front of one general that seemed to be the leader of the soldiers. there is a paper on the arrow, just like what happened to Linhardt when they first arrived at their border.

The general picked up the arrow and did not attempt to read the letter written on it.

he broke the arrow and, at the same time, pulled out his sword with the mark of the house of VEA. he raised the sword so that the velums could see that they were ready to fight and not willing to do any negotiations with them.

The general also didn't explain or say anything about the reason why they intended to occupy Velos Desi. He immediately signaled to his companions to get ready for their rush.

Juno did not like the behavior of the general, and because of that, her face became serious. all the Zodiac Sagittarius will lead with him in the first line of archers. she wants to show the people of the house of VEA that the rudeness they show to their Desi is unacceptable.

he will make them feel that not just anyone can conquer their Desi. and they will surely suffer a lot of pain coming from their arrows.

Don't be afraid! shouted Juno.

can you feel the airflow? the movement of the wind is in harmony with us, so those hapless soldiers will never be able to defeat us.

Juno began to prepare her bow, but she did not put any single arrow to place within the bow.

He pulled the string of the bow, and suddenly, a light showed from within her hands that forming into a shining light arrow.

this is one of the characteristics of Sagittarius. they don't even need to put arrows in their bows because they can make their own arrows, and they are ten times stronger compared to a normal arrow.

As she released the first arrow to break the defense of the soldiers from the house of VEA, the VEA soldiers immediately positioned themselves to hold their shields. their general said that only a tiny arrow was coming and they could easily defend it even if they rained more arrows.

but little did they know that there was something strange about the arrow that was coming toward them.

Juno just smiled and said, hmm, these useless soldiers are ignorant of the enemy's abilities and dare to attack us.

the arrows that Juno released suddenly changed their demeanor. All of a sudden, spell circles opened in the sky, and thousands of arrows flashed out before the enemies.

this pointless fight is over. Juno said as the arrows slowly fell and knocked down the proud VEA soldiers one by one. even if they have a shield to block it, it's useless because the arrow still penetrates it.

as time went on, the place was filled with blood because the soldiers were being slaughtered, and it was too late for them to escape. even their horses were affected by the fall of arrows.

when the arrows falling from the spell circle summoned by Juno were already fully consumed, the VEA soldiers were wiped out. even their general, who showed insolence, was lying on the floor, and his whole body had a lot of whole coming from the massive rain of arrows.

Juno wanted to get down from her post when suddenly she saw that there were four more people standing, and it seemed that they evaded all those thousands of arrows that she released on the enemies.

Her eyes widened when she recognized who were the four people left from his attack.

the three of them were the assassins who they suspect were Zodiac Scorpios due to their poisoned weapons. and the other one surprised him even more because one of them was none other than Gaia. the powerful High Guardian of the house of VEA, the commander of the Zodiac Taurus.
