The men ready to die fighting had gathered in it with some shields and spears, it was not the first time they were attacked by these creatures and each attack would be disastrous, they knew that they could only use the spears to try to buy some time.
To the south the women and children gathered, the elders had decided to stay so as not to hinder the escape, under the leadership of one of the confidants of the village chief they began their journey to the next village, however, before they could get away from the village, 3 giant lizards appeared out of nowhere.
Apparently the drakos had guessed that the humans could escape and had gone ahead, the defenseless women and children began to tremble in terror, the imposing 3 meter tall beast that had huge claws and teeth was terrifying.
The only one capable of fighting was the man in the lead and he only had a spear and a small shield, he did not expect to find himself in this situation, he knew that he would probably die, fighting a mountain drako alone was suicide now fighting 3 was a impossible task.
However, he did not plan to die without a fight, as he moved forward he quickly yelled at the villagers to try to run after the fight started maybe some could escape, however, most of the villagers had already given up, the children were crying and some women they had fallen with trembling legs.
The drakos advanced slowly, while looking at the defenseless humans, you could see how their huge and viperous tongues extended from side to side, as if they were savoring their future majar.
As the scene unfolded slowly, a sudden rumble could be heard followed by a scene that none of those present would forget in their lives, since half of the body of two of the drakos was blown up.
Everything happened so fast that not even the drakos themselves could realize it, soon a third rumble sounded and the third drako had the same tragic end as his companions, everything remained in a brief silence, no villager understood the situation and they were afraid to move.
On the other hand, to the west of the slope, a similar scene had left the men who had stayed to fight speechless, out of nowhere 2 steel giants had come out and faced the drakos, the steel giants began to roar and soon the drakos began to fly to pieces.
Then an evil laugh could be heard and several small lines could be seen emerging from the do monsters, these lines were like swords that mercilessly pierced the drakos, ending their lives.
Inside the tanks, the soldiers were noting, "Sir, it seems those lizards have tough skin, only calibers greater than 50 seem to be effective." William nodded he had instructed to test the different calibers on these creatures.
For now only the 50 caliber and the tank gun seemed to have the ability to penetrate their defenses, for smaller calibers penetrating or perhaps explosive bullets had to be used, but Williams did not plan to waste that type of ammunition, for now the 50 caliber was enough. .
After finishing the slaughter, the villagers were able to see the iron giants more closely, they were something they had never seen, and seeing that they were approaching they were even more afraid than against the Drakos themselves, after all they could see how they finish off the drakos in seconds.
The iron giants stopped several meters away from the villagers, and under their astonished gaze, a kind of round lid opened and a human came out, the human had quite pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair, to the villagers it was signs of nobility so they were even more afraid, after all nobles in this world weren't friendly at all to commoners.
William stopped at a safe distance from the villagers and spoke "Greetings, my name is William, let's not plan to hurt you, we are passing through the area and got lost", the villagers did not move or speak, they were still impressed by the whole situation that was happening .
An old man came out of the crowd, due to his age and experience, he had learned to identify people a little, and seeing the honest look of the young man I sensed that he did not plan to hurt them so he spoke "My name is Giso and I am the head of this village, may I ask if you were the one who killed the mountain drako?"
William replied "if you call those creatures Mountain Drakos, if me and my team finish them off", Giso crouched down with some tears in his eyes "thank you very much, thank you very much, my village is humble and we don't have much to offer, but yes they like can come and stay as long as they want".
William nodded, and soon all the villagers were looking at the steel giants that had killed the Drakos, the most surprising thing was to see that 3 men came out of each vehicle, some seemed slaves and others nobles, all were surprised to see that each one seemed getting along with each other, something that didn't make any kind of sense to them.
Giso had invited William inside his cabin to talk, after taking a seat, Giso was the one who took the floor "I can guess that they are not from this kingdom", William nodded, after all he did not plan to hide it "we come from a place quite far , so I would like some guidance."
Giso nodded and began to speak "These lands are known as the great valley, and it is one of the 11 nations that make up the human empire, as you see, this is a small nameless town that we have created since we do not have enough money to Live in the city".
William kept talking to Giso and got quite a bit of information, apparently the big city was to the west in the foothills of the great mountain range, anyone who could pay the high taxes could live inside the city, where they didn't have to worry about wild creatures .
Those who had no money had to find their way outside the safety of the city walls, there were several villages, and they all suffered the same fate as the village of Giso, they tried to survive day by day with various activities, sometimes merchants came and they could exchange some products, sometimes they were harassed by wild creatures, bandits or slave traders, it was a pretty hard life.
The city was controlled by a Marquis, each nation was controlled by a Duke and under the duke there would be several Marquesses and Counts who would have their towns or cities in total there were 9 nations that added together would form the great human empire, the main nation was called known as The empire and was to the north according to Giso, the great empire was in an endless war with the nation of chaos that was to the north of the continent.
The 8 nations were in charge of providing food, troops and wealth to the great empire to fight against this threat, the nobility was quite similar to the ancient nobility of the land, despots, controllers, believing themselves to be the superior race.
Even though, on earth, there were still certain individuals who believed that they were above others, a certain point had been reached where some level of equality existed, and people had largely forgotten about racial difference and other trivial matters.
However, it seemed that in this world humans were still making the same mistakes as on earth, on the other hand, while Giso and William were talking about the situation of this world, the 11 men began to move while doing an inventory check.
All the villagers looked curiously at these 11 men who wore the same strange outfit, while they moved and took out strange objects, in the carelessness of a mother a little boy approached Roy with curiosity, Roy had a dark skin, and was the most tall and stocky of the group, however, he was the friendliest.
Seeing the boy, Roy smiled at him, took out a chocolate bar, opened it and gave it to him, the somewhat confused boy looked at the bar with curiosity, Roy put another one in his mouth and began to eat, the boy followed in Roy's footsteps and I jump for joy at the sweet taste, he had never tasted such a rich one in his entire life.
The boy's mother, somewhat scared, took him and took him away while he apologized, but Roy told him that it didn't matter, seeing this, many villagers felt a little more comfortable, apparently these men really weren't here to cause problems.
