It was nighttime.

In the small village, 1KM from Screeching Villa, the place of suspicion.

Inside the Elder chief’s decent house there was a discussion being held.

“I believe we need to do something about them.” One of the mercenaries said. “They are getting too close for our liking, if we don’t do anything now, we might get into big trouble later.”

“I am on the same account as you.” Another mercenary said. “What do you all say?”

The others took a moment before a member of that village nodded, “Yes, I agree with you.”

As he agreed the others agreed too.

There were no more than 15 people inside the house and these 15 were also involved with the sigmat and other robberies. The mercenary that brought this discussion up was hired by the real leaders and gave his honest opinion.

That mercenary looked at the chief and asked, “What do you say chief? Are you with us?”

“Yes, I am.” The elder said after a while, “But not on robbing or killing.”

“What? Why not?”

“Because as you said, they are getting close to us.” The chief rubbed his chin with deep thoughts, “We can’t give them more trouble, especially with how the church is about to get involved.”

“Then what do we suggest do?”

“We run.”

“Hm?” The mercenary and others looked confused at him. The elderly chief explained to them calmly.

“As you all know, the people uphill are very strong so we can’t fight them head on. And with how the church has been called for, we shouldn’t stay here either.”

“From what that big guy said, the church would be coming in a week, but we can’t wait that long. We need to be long gone before then.”

“So we just up and leave our village?” A villager in his early twenties said angrily, “We don’t even put up a fight?”

“Can you put up a fight?”

“Yes!” The guy nodded strongly, “You heard that guy, one of his best men was critically hurt. If he could get hurt, I believe with all of us combined, we can hurt them very much.”

“If you’re talking about Dekei, you know how he hurt him.” The guy averted his eyes, “He blew himself up to kill that guy.”

“But what did that get him?” The chief sighed in exhaustion, “He died and wasn’t even able to kill the guy he wanted, he couldn’t even kill the guy that he blew himself up for!”

The elder became angry as he pointed his wooden cane at the guy, “You want us to combine our forces and attack him?”

“So what you’re telling us is to kill ourselves to kill one of each of them. Does anyone here want to go with his plan?”

The elder looked around, searching for volunteers. Nobody raised their hand or head as they stayed quiet.

“See! Everyone here wants to save his own neck. You can’t just be thinking about one thing only.”

The elder sighed as he saw the sad look on the boy, “I know what you’re thinking… you’re angry, we all are. But we can’t overlook everything just because they did something bad.”

“They killed Cail, Chief. How can we not do something about that?”

“And do we have any proof that they actually did.” The chief said, “We are fighting against someone very strong without even knowing if our cause is right or not.”

“Face it, we’re only doing this because of the money and that we’re already caught in this.” The elder looked up, “But we can’t let it throw us down.”

“We have a chance at life. Before the church comes with its inquisition, all of us can leave and start our community some place far away again.”

“Bu- But”

“Think about the other people, the wives and children we have. Cail isn’t the only children in this village.” The elder said and his words convinced them that it was the right thing to do.

It was quiet shameful and very hard to acknowledge. But in the end, they knew it was for survival.

“So what do we do?” The young boy asked.

“We must start packing our stuff as soon as possible and from tomorrow onward, find a place that would be very far from her and safe for us.”

“I believe if we hide from the noble and the church for long enough, they would probably forget us.”

“Forget us? Hah!” A mercenary laughed, “You guys stole a box full of sigmat crystals from that lord. Do you think he’d just forget you guys for stealing hundreds of thousands of pound just like that?”

“No, that guy would hunt us until the end and then rip out every profit or coins we can give.” The mercenary almost gulped, “That guy felt like a fucking monster.”

“I would not want to fight with him.”

“More the reason we should leave.” The chief said again, “We are already knee-deep in this mess and can’t ask for forgiveness after how we refused to talk today. The best thing to do would be to leave.”

“What about Brake?” A villager asked. “What will happen to him?”

The elder had a grim face, “I believe he will be in pain for some time. But he will stay alive. They need him alive for when the inquisition comes for evidence.”

“…So we’re leaving him behind?”

The elder patted the boy, “He is a liability to us, Likr. We can’t have him come with us.”

The elder then sighed heavily, “The best thing to do now would be to sleep fully tonight and start looking for a better future tomorrow.”

…

Late at night, when everyone was asleep.

A lot of figures wearing light armor were moving silently towards the small village. The figures slowly and silently covered the villages surroundings completely.

They looked at each other to see if everyone was in place. Then they all looked at the tall figure standing atop the hill.

I stood at the hill with Alice and Raven by my side and looked through the binocular.

I couldn’t see any guards standing guard. There were two but they were already fast asleep in their station. I signal four of the soldiers to quickly silence the guards.

The four guards quickly moved with precision and sliced off the guard’s neck as they lay down, shaking in confusion and succumbing to death.

“Hah…”

I hear a wolfy sigh and say, “What’s wrong, Raven? Feeling jeeters already.”

“I don’t know what that means, sir. But I don’t think this is right.”

I take my eyes off the binocular and look at him, “Are you questioning my authority, Raven?”

“What!” Raven said in shock. “N- No, I could never say that sir. I- I just meant that I do- don’t think this is the righ- right-”

I ignore the guy, “Forget it, your stammer tells me everything. Alice, what do you think? Am I wrong here?”

“Well, speaking from the morally good point Master, you’re making a huge mistake.”

Then Alice smiled at me, “But speaking from personal feelings, I believe you’re not wrong at all. If you have enemies and they are mixed within stupid villagers that won’t give them up… It’s fine to burn down the village for your own benefit.”

“It’s your right!”

I smile and give a big kiss to my hot witch, “That’s my girl.”

“Hehe”

I then turn to the soldiers and give a signal to Haylum, who was leading this mission.

Haylum smiled and showed his fangs, “It’s time to hunt, fellas!”
