A frustrated hero Counterattack
The sun had not yet risen and all the heroes were awake. No one could sleep after all that had happened. There was still a long way to go to finish this war and none of us knew what to do at that moment. The moonlight was the only thing that helped us, at least thanks to it we were not totally dependent on the visibility of the campfire and the torches we were carrying at that moment. Even though we felt a slight peace, I was quite tired. The combat against those creatures was quite hard for me. Being healed so many times was very bad, it left my body weakened, besides I lost a lot of energy for having used that sword so many times.I lay down on the ground, I could no longer stay awake. I just looked to the south of this place. I tried to be attentive to any movement of the enemy army and not let fatigue overcome me easily.[...]I woke up in the middle of a strange movement in the desert. I saw many soldiers running towards the south. I tried to get up from the ground, and wiped th
A frustrated hero Intervention
The barrier gave us time to recover from the continuous enemy attacks, which would end in a matter of minutes, as they would run out of arrows at any moment.There were many wounded, since the arrows that had fallen near us were like rain, it was as if they were simultaneously organizing to attack us from the air. Luckily the elves began to heal all the wounded of the place, however the enemy army did not stay waiting for us to recover. They sent troops towards us, and they were not simple soldiers. They were heroes who had no intention of leaving us alive. From where I stood I could see their weapons, which were a little different from the ones we had. Meanwhile the heroes in our group were preparing for battle. They all tried to pull themselves together and draw their weapons as the enemies were coming.The elves finished healing the enemies, but did not head towards the battlefield, apparently they would stay here and wait for the small confrontation between the strongest to end.
A frustrated hero Heaven
When the enemy troops left, we could all breathe easier, but the losses we had were many. More than seventy heroes had died between the two countries and we lost more than them, almost fifty.They knew they had to retreat, since their advantage was in the number of heroes who participated in battle, and they had fewer soldiers than us, so they could not let the war be defined by their combat. Their only goal was to eliminate all the heroes of my country, and eliminating our army was much easier.The elves went to help those who were still alive to reduce the losses we had, but unfortunately, could not do much, because many were very wounded, I could see the clear difference between the warriors of one side and the other. They were very prepared to do this kind of things by orders of their king. We would have to take advantage of this short pause to improve and prepare ourselves again for war, while the crisis in the south passed. It was too short a time to prepare, but we had no choi
A frustrated hero Burglars
We were all waiting for those people in that place. We didn't know how to react to a battle at that hour. There was very little visibility, it was too difficult for everyone. Alfred was the only one who was ready to cast a spell to protect us, we just waited for those people to talk and explain to us what they were doing at this hour walking as if nothing happened.Little by little they approached us and we could see that one of them began to speak.-Soldiers...hello we were sent by the kingdom of the land of Lions to help you, a little while the war is going on, we know that if you lose, Schlange will come for us too.I was already a bit serious when I heard that, I didn't know if it was true or not. They got here very quickly. One of the heroes spoke, this time the one who interrogated me a little while ago to confirm that I was a hero.-How did they get here so fast?-Since two days ago there was a warning about what was happening in the south. The guild wasn't sure about interveni
A frustrated hero Priority
I stayed to wait for the guards who roamed the city, I just wanted to talk to them to know what had happened here while we were at war. I had a sense of curiosity, as what I had encountered recently left me with a lot to think about. For me it was something strange to be here waiting for that person.I just lay down on one of the chairs in the place to rest a little, I had been very uncomfortable in the wagon that brought me here, besides it only brought me a little closer to this city, I was too far away, so I had to walk.When I started to fall asleep, the guards of this place arrived, but they were not wearing the armor that usually had on those who guarded this city. They were just two men, both wearing normal clothes and they were a bit dirty, as if they had walked all night in a swamp.They looked at me as soon as they saw me, they thought it was strange that someone who looked like a hero was in front of them.The receptionist of the place spoke.-He is a hero who came all the
A frustrated hero Jungle
I continued my journey to the south of the continent, as much as I wanted to stay to get the thieves out of other countries, I couldn't, I just sent a letter to the Altamira guild to send soldiers and guards for now. Since the mission the guild had authorized, I was a little curious. I knew that maybe all the heroes would be there because of the way the guild acted, not caring about the conflicts that were going on at the time.When I left the country I was practically out of money, since when I paid for the carriage ride I noticed that I did not have enough money left to return home. I felt for a while when I realized that the trip I would be making was quite long, plus I had to pay for food for the rest of the trip. The first stop I made out of the country was in a town where several caravans with heroes had passed by.This place despite being quite small had many inhabitants, who were dedicated to selling objects for travelers. When I arrived there they immediately realized who I
A frustrated hero Route
I walked for more than three kilometers in the middle of all that vegetation, it was a little complicated for me at first and that in the time I was walking, and the sun came out at one moment to another, unfortunately in the south of the continent it was too hot and it was too difficult, but I did not want to arrive at the camp at night, I had no choice but to accelerate the pace a little.I saw smoke coming from that place as if something was burning, maybe someone had been careless and created that.From a distance I could see the place a little better. There were several houses in a hilly area. There were people there, they didn't look like adventurers or heroes, but at least I could get information by talking to them.I kept walking to them without caring about the heat, as it was getting darker and darker, and that place was much farther away than I thought, I almost ran out of breath several times. This area was quite complicated to fight a battle. I just hoped that all this ef
A frustrated hero Meeting
I saw that man quite anxious to get out of here and I approached him. He was wearing a straw hat and a green vest. He had a lot of beard on his face and green eyes.-Hey, can you help me get out of here," I said.He looked at me rather strangely, maybe he didn't understand what a person like me was doing here. He spoke to me in a subtle voice.-I shouldn't be in this place. ....When I saw that he started to hesitate and stopped bringing down the boxes with groceries, I tried to help him. He looked very thoughtful, and I didn't understand why.There were almost twenty wooden boxes, quite heavy, they looked like wine bottles or something like that. I didn't ask him, I just put them down right away.He stood silently watching me as I lowered the boxes. That scared me a little, I didn't understand why he was looking at me that way and he didn't try to explain it to me. I avoided at all costs to look at him again, I just did what I could with those boxes, I took them down one by one until
