Chapter 62:Blood bath

While the one in charge of all the soldiers was thinking about August's words, August spoke in a quiet voice, talking to Francesca.

"I already know what they are going to do. You do as well?" inquired August, hearing no response, but the sound of gritting teeth.

August continued to escalate everything with his words, making Francesca more and more agitated to the side towards the side that he wanted her in.

"Look at their eyes, eyes that will not hesitate for the command of their leader, stupid puppets that know nothing of the world, but their inner world they build, living in it, serving their lord with blind loyalty," continued August with sharp words, that cut like a knife.

"Do you think they care about those that you strive to protect, those that you want to ascent to the top of the world? They will slaughter everyone on their path to get a higher positing, to get those worthless, but precious words of praise from their lord" August didn't stop there, making Francesca listen to his words, and convincing herself of the truth of his words.

"Do you think they will allow you to take your race to the top? Do you think they will allow you to protect your beliefs and dignity?" August's hot breath rubbed against her ears, making her heart pump the blood at a fast rate, making her breath pattern rigid.

"No, they won't. They will slaughter all of you as it happened once already. They will have no mercy on children. They will have no mercy on the old. All they will strive for is the destruction of little you would be able to build." Finished August, making her hiss like a snake.

With a lot of force, Francesca pushed words out of her mouth through her teeth. "What do you want?"

"I want you to help me kill all of them, pay them with a coin they deserve," replied August lightly.

Francesca looked at the man that had their weapons pointed toward her. Right now she was a simple woman. Without her magic, she is just another elf, with this bracelet she is nothing but a valuable victim. Only without those chains restricting her, she will be able to show who she truly is.

"I agree" replied Francesca

Thinking to herself, 'As soon as we will kill those men I will wipe this cave with a beautiful, but bloody face of yours and feed you to this giant.'

August showed a rare smile. However, this was not a smile of happiness, no, it was a mischievous smile.

"Not so fast beautiful, I want you to make a vow," replied August.

"What do you want? To make a promise at the stake of my life? On my dignity?" said sarcastically Francesca, being quite angry and frustrated.

"No, I want you to take a vow on the blood of elves. I want you to take a vow that upon breaking, you will forever forget about your goals of making elves great again," replied August.

Cursing inside of her head, Francesca said quickly, almost silently, "I agree. I promise you, on the blood of elves, their dignity and greatness, that I will not betray you today." Francesca added the last part on her own behalf.

August released a short small chuckle, replying "Good enough for me"

Taking a bracelet off her hand, making it that way that nobody could notice. August held eye contact with the soldier's commander.

In fact, while the cave was covered in silence during the intense moment, August also listened to the breath of the creature hidden in the depths of this cave. A creature that dislikes being disrupted by others and every time that someone dares to destruct his sleep, those usually end as small snacks for an evening before another long sleep.

Because of the rumble that was caused by those idiots, August knew that creature is not quite asleep now, and any time, any second will make some signs of him being quite angry.

"I thought about that," started the commander of soldiers. "I will allow…

*Rooooooooooor*

A powerful roar resonated throughout the cave, making walls shake and the wind started to blow from the depths. Some of the soldiers that were still quite young dropped their weapons, getting scared by the sheer amount of pressure coming from a giant roar.

August, missing no opportunity, pushed Francesca forward towards one of the soldiers of the enemies and dashed towards Baldwin, that was surrounded by several soldiers.

Baldwin, seeing August coming closer, almost immediately attacked those surrounding him, making them quickly dash at him, those that were holding Baldwin in their aim, fired their bolts trying to end the prince once and for all.

August, without wasting time, used the Aard sign to force bolts to change their trajectory, missing their target.

Like a battle machine, August quickly reached Baldwin, inserting his sword right in the eyehole of one of the soldier's armour, piercing through his brain and killing him instantly.

Pulling his sword back, in a fast movement, leaving a small trail of blood droplets in the air, making curvet and punching another soldier in his helmet using the hilt of his sword, making him lose his sight and stunning him for just enough to place his blade right in between the space of his armour.

Piercing his blade right in the soldier's lungs, not killing him instantly, but making him slowly die, while getting a feel of his own lungs getting filled with blood suffocating him and slowly, but surely, leaving him unable to breathe.

August and Baldwin stood back to back with each other while avoiding anyone coming closer to them.

"I will need your back," said August and without clarifying whatever that means, August swung his sword across the sword of the soldiers in front of him, making his sword move to the side and forcing him to take a step back.

Like a monkey, August rushed at this soldier, jumping on his shoulders, getting a grip on his neck and twisting it until a loud crack.

Wasting no time, August jumped from the lifeless body that was dropping to the ground on the back of Baldwin before making another jump, right on the soldier that was in the middle of the group of 5.

Giving them no time to react, August used Igni, sending waves of fire, heating their metal armour, and getting slightly burned himself. And once against making a jump away from the fireplace that was made out of screaming soldiers, doing a flip and landing right on his legs in front of an agonizingly shouting group of soldiers that were enveloped in the fire.

Quickly finishing off the rest of the soldiers that were close to Baldwin, while also deflecting incoming crossbow bolts coming his way, August looked right towards the eyes of their leader that had a crossbow of his own.

He launched a bolt that had a perfect trajectory that would make it right through the head of August.

Not breaking the eye contact with their leader, August looked at the incoming bolt, not moving a single bit.

Bolt made its way through the air, creating a quiet, but whining sound making its way towards its destination. But just before it was able to hit August's head, it stopped only scratching August's forehead. Stopping right in his hand.

Making a small trail of blood run down his face. Almost immediately, August got a hang on his bow and launched a special arrow toward the soldier's commander, hitting and piercing his knee.

This, in fact, was a black blood potion that the witcher used against a vampire kind of creature. Its only function is to turn your blood into poison. Witcher, having a great resistance against most of the poisons, was able to stay alive, but this stuff was not for humans.

He dropped to his knees, while also groaning in pain and loud shouting.

"Aggggghhhh"

Suddenly, the cave started to shake violently, and the rumble started to get closer and closer. All soldiers that had crossbows in their hands could no longer aim since the shaking of the cave made it impossible.

Out of nowhere, Francesca appeared in front of August, having a bunch of heads in both of her palms.

All of her dress was soaked in blood, her hair wet from and dirty in the mixture of human juices.

With emotionless eyes, she dropped 8 heads on the ground in front of August and said, "This is their mages, one escaped. I hope to never see you again"

Before August could reply, she disappeared, leaving behind her bloody cloth that consisted of everything, including panty and bra.

Commander was groaning in pain, standing on his knees, while his veins slowly turned black, as his limbs started slowly rotting, with every second of time, his body turning into a black mass that could no longer be recognized as human.

Having no more strength in his body commander started to drop with his face facing toward the ground. But just before his face could reach the ground, a giant hand got a grip of him, before an ugly face showed from the cave tunnel and tossed the commander's body like a nut inside of his mouth, quickly chewing his body, making a sound of chewing hard cracker.

The face of the Giant showed disgust at the taste, as he spits a chewed mass of what used to be a human on the cave floor and looked at the nearby soldiers that already made their last toilet call.
