"That’s right, they killed the two guards that were at the bridge and went into the city, and from everything that is going on, I am one hundred percent sure that they are the ones responsible for the missing of those guards," Alexander explained."Oh, my word, so what are we going to do now?" Athens asked with his eyebrows slightly raised."I don’t even know; that’s why I wanted to speak with you. If we send a letter to King Julius, he might not acknowledge it on time, and by then we might have lost both of them. It might be from changing their identity, how they look, and various other things. So, we don’t have the time to wait for the letter to be approved if we want to send a letter," Alexander explained."Hmmm," Athens muttered. He could understand that Alexander was in a dilemma about what to do. So he started thinking of ways they could send men into the city without getting any approval from King Julius. That’s when an idea hit him."Your majesty, I have an idea," Athens said
"Okay, please introduce yourselves to the king," Brabus added. Of course, Brabus told the king about them, but he knew it was a formality for them to introduce themselves.Hudson and Ajax introduced themselves to the king. "So, what brings two high-ranking magicians to my palace today? I hear you lads want to talk business," Julius said, stroking his beard."Yes, your highness," Ajax replied. Ajax was nervous to tell the king that he needed an army from him. He knew if he made the request, the king would look at him as crazy, but they are already here; there is no turning back at this point."You see, Hudson and I are planning a coup against King Alexander of Magnitoz City, and we need men for that," Ajax said calmly."What!" Julius screamed as his voice echoed throughout the room."Yes, my lord," Hudson added."What type of treachery is this?" Julius asked in a rumbling tone with his eyes wide open."My lord, before you say anything, let me explain the reason why we are planning a co
"So, what do you say? Is my offer generous enough?" He asked raising an eyebrow."Yes, your highness," Ajax responded."Give me a moment; let me talk this out with Hudson," Ajax said as he did a half bow and turned to look at Hudson."What do you think about his offer? Do you have up to 300,000 gold coins in the system’s vault as we speak? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we need this offer," Ajax said in a low tone, staring at Hudson."Yes, I do have that amount in the system’s vault, but don’t you think the amount of gold coins he is calling outrageous? This amount is almost all the money I have left in the system’s vault," Hudson replied softly.The king could barely hear what they were talking about, but he hoped that they would accept his offer. Brabus, on the other hand, was just standing behind them and watching as they discussed amongst themselves."Hudson, that doesn’t matter at the moment; what is the use of the coins if you won’t be able to spend them when
They arrived in front of the courtyard, where they saw the hundred men all gathered and chatting amongst themselves. As they saw that the king was in front of them, they all went quiet. "Listen up!" Julius screamed."I have summoned you all here today for a very important and dangerous mission. You all are some of my most skilled men, and I want you all to give your best to this mission and make the most of it. I want you all to be prepared to give your lives for this cause, as it is a very delicate matter," Julius stated in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the courtyard."We are ready!" A couple of the men screamed in unison as they went down on one knee and did a half bow for the king.Rise, my soldiers!" Julius yelled. "Now, I will have the man that is going to be controlling this whole operation come and address you all," Julius said as he turned to look at Ajax and waved at him to come forward.As Ajax looked at all of them, he started to become nervous; he didn’t k
***Ajax and his men were running on a road path that was in between trees as they arrived in front of a wall that was made from huge stones. They halted as they looked around and saw a man and about six guards standing in front of the stones. The man was Athens. Athens was shocked by the number of men that were in front of him, and he told his guards to follow him as they walked closer to them. Ajax, on the other hand, recognized Athens swiftly as the king’s right-hand man.Ajax knew not to run, as Athens and his men were outnumbered. Also, there was no turning back for him at this point. Athens folded his arms as he arrived in front of Ajax. "Who are you all, and why are you all running through this path?" Athens asked curiously. He could see the Bristol lights clearly and knew that there was a high-ranking magician amongst them. Athens was looking at the dressing of one of the men; he was checking to know where they were coming from, as he knew all the styles people in the magical
"This is what we are going to do. Everyone listen up," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. "You all should take care of all the guards that are guiding the front of the palace and also inside, while me and Hudson will head straight towards the king’s chamber, and we need four men to accompany us inside," Ajax explained in a rumbling tone, making sure that everyone could hear him. Everyone nodded silently, agreeing with him. "Alright then, let’s get going," Ajax said in a rumbling tone. As they got to the palace, all the men separated and started attacking all the guards, while Ajax and Hudson’s eyes were fixed on going into the palace and confronting the king. They got closer to the king’s chambers as they saw two guards in front of the door. Ajax ordered the men behind them to handle the guards as the men killed the guards. Hudson tried pushing the door open, but it was locked from the inside. "The door is locked from the inside!" Hudson yelled as he turned to face Ajax. The men that we
It was only a long pair of trousers that he was wearing under the robe. Alexander had huge muscles with veins all over his body. Seeing his muscles, Ajax and Hudson's mouths opened wide in awe. They were shocked to see how huge the king was under the robe.Ajax gulped. ‘Holy Magnitoz, I never knew the king was this muscular under that robe; how do I fight against him now? He is like times two my size; I can’t back out of the combat either; I will have to fight him even with the possibility that he would beat me hands down and kill me in the process’ Ajax thought."Now, let’s begin the combat; the rest of you should move backwards for now," Alexander said in a rumbling tone. He could sense the fear that they had after seeing how he looked under his robe.Hudson and the guards move backward, creating space in the center of the chamber. Alexander and Ajax stood in the center of the chamber, both in a fighting stance. ‘This might be one of the toughest fights and probably the last fight o
***The following morning,Hudson woke up feeling something warm on his leg. He opened his eye to look in front of him as he saw a woman pressing a towel on his leg. "Where am I?" He asked as he looked around. He saw Ajax on a bed next to him, and a woman was also pressing a towel on Ajax's legs."You are at Goodwell’s Hospital," the woman who was pressing the warm towel on his leg answered.Hudson noticed that he could only see out of one eye as he touched his left eye and felt a cloth on it. ‘I almost forgot that my eye was removed in the fight last night’ He thought."How did me and my friend get here?" Hudson asked, staring at the lady. She was wearing a white gown. She stopped pressing the towel on his leg as she stood upright."A couple of men brought you two here last night; they are currently waiting outside the hall," she answered."There is no need for you to worry, Hudson; I told them to bring us here; you passed out after everything that happened last night," Ajax said cal
