Update 4
MI-3 (Mission Intelligence, Section 3)
Jab Terry ne apni baat ko pura kiya tab usse sunkar sabhi dark elves dark e wajah se shake ho rahe the. Vo kabhi soch bhi nahi sakte the ke koi itna master mind character bhi is lower academy mei chupa hua hai.
Saath hi vo sabhi dark elves is baat se bhi achha feel kar rahe the ke unmei se kisi ko bhi us dangerous student ko face karna nahi pada. Vo jante the ke agar Terry ya Jiggs ki jagah vo khud hote toh vo bhi us student ke mind ke aage tik nahi paate.
Holmes ka face toh jaise dark ho gaya tha. Vo ek battle mage tha aur yaha par kisi aur se behtar janta tha ke yeh human master mind kitna dangerous hai. Saath hi us ladke ke friends ka itna best way mei spellcasting karna yeh bhi kaafi badi baat thi.
Jiggs ko gussa karne ke liye fireballs ke 2 barrage aur Jiggs ko weak karne ke liye ek Grease aur end mei ek vector throw ke saath isse puri tarah se end karna. War ki aisi tactic ke baremei soch kar hi Holmes ko pasine aane lag gaye the.
“Yeh ke Master tactician hai.”
Holmes ne apni baat kahi.
Holmes ne is sab ke baremei soch kar hi kaha tha.
“Usne itni kam age mei itan sab kuch hasil kar liya hai. Agar usse badhne diya toh aage chal kar ek bada threat ban sakta hai. Hame usse marna hoga.”
“Lekin lord vo pehle hi academy se bhaag chuka hai.”
“Lekin usne apne scent ko toh choda hai. Uske footprints yahi par honge. Unki help se ham usse track kar sakte hai.”
Holmes yeh keh kar hasne lag gaya. Uske haato mei jo staff tha uspar ek red crystal chamak raha tha. Usmei se Mana ki ek beam ground par lagi aur vo jagah halki se shake hone lag gayi. Kuch hi der baad waha par ek 6 foot long hound ne waha par form le liya tha.
Earth Hound!
Yeh ek level 2 ki spell thi. Isse cast karne ke baad earth element se bane hue bade se hound bante hai jo kisi bade se kutte ki tarah dikhte hai. Inki dekhne aur smell karne ki ability kaafi strong thi.
Jaha par Earth Hound ki aankhe honi chahiye thi waha par sirf black holes hi the. Jab Earth Hound ne puri tarah se form liya tab Holmes ne usse Jiggs ki dead body ki taraf ishara kiya aur kaha.
“Killer ko dhund nikaalo!”
Hound ne Jiggs ki dead body par ek jump lagayi aur usse smell karne lag gaya.
Kuch 10 seconds ke baad Earth Hound ne zor se howl kiya aur phir mudkar magic academy ke bahar ki taraf chala gaya. Vo Earth Hound bhagte hue bhi ground ko smell kar raha tha.
“Tum aur tum! Is report ko city ke bahar bane hue camp mei Marshal Lord ke paas le jao.”
Holmes ne ek scroll ko dark elves warriors ke paas diya. Portal Tower ke destroy ho jaane ke baad vo aise bhi reports ko bhej sakta tha.
“Jaisa aap kahe lord!”
Yeh keh kar un dark elves ne us scroll ko liya aur raat ki darkness mei kahi gayab ho gaye.
Unke jaane ke baad Holmes ne sabhi dark elves ko order diya.
“Baki sabhi warriors mere piche aao!”
Holmes ne ab tak yeh sense kar liya tha ke kaafi saare log us academy ki taraf aa rahe hai. Agar vo un sabhi logo ke haato lag jaate hai toh unka waha se nikal pana kaafi hard ho sakta tha.
Yaha academy ke bahar ka area abhi bhi kaafi thik thak chal raha tha. Waha par kisi bhi dark elves ki activity nahi dikh rahi thi. Saath hi Bell Tower ke bell ke bajne ki wajah se sabhi log apne gharo se bahar aa gaye the.
Waise toh Gladstone City mei kaafi saare dark elves aaye hue the par phir bhi Gladstone City ki population hundreds thousands ke amount mei thi.
Kyo ki Bell Tower ki bell abhi bhi baj rahi thi us wajah se log apne gharo se nikal kar Bell Tower ki taraf chal diye the. Wahi unmei se kuch logo ne academy mei se ek bade se light ko flash hote aur uske baad ek blast ko hote hue dekha aur suna tha. Is wajah se kuch log academy ki taraf bhi jaa rahe the.
Jaldi hi Gladstone City ke logo ko yeh pata chal gaya tha ke dark elves ne milkar academy par aur unke city par bhi attack kar diya hai. Is wajah se logo ke bich halka sa tension badh gaya tha.
Kuch 20 minutes ke baad Raj chalte hue academy se kaafi distance par aa gaya tha. Saath hi usne abhi kaafi simple dress ko pehna hua tha aur iske wajah se vo crowd mei easily mix up ho paa raha tha.
Abhi Raj ke gali ke area se nikal hi raha tha ke tabhi ek person haat mei knife liye samne se uski taraf aane laga. Vo Raj ko lootna chahta tha.
Raj ne bhi aage badhna jaari rakha aur us person ko bhi dekh raha tha jo uski taraf aa raha tha.
Tabhi Raj ki aankhe halki si glo hui. Usne us person ko dekha aur kaha.
Raj-Mujhe disturb mat karo.
Raj ne yeh baat us person se kaafi halki aawaz mei kahi thi par uska tone kaafi cold tha.
Waise bhi ordinary logo ke liye Mage Warriors kaafi mysterious aur powerful person the. Agar koi unhe gussa dilata that oh unki death pakki hi samaji jaati thi.
Gladstone City ke is area se nikalne ke liye Raj ko half and hour se hbi zyada ka time lag gaya. Usse apne piche city ke logo ke gusse aur kahi se zor se chillane ki aawaze bhi sunayi de rahi thi.
Raj ne ek baar palat kar Gladstone City ke us area ko dekha aur apne aap se kaha.
Raj-Lagta hai sabhi log academy ki taraf chale gaye hai.
Waha se aage badhne ke baad Raj ko kuch distance ke par ek river dikhti hai. Yeh river zyada nahi balki 60 feet ke width ki thi. Saath hi waha par ek port bhi bana hua tha.
Yeh Gladstone City ke ek badi river ka part thi.
Raj ke mind mei kuch aaya aur usne aage badh kar waha par lagu hui ek small boat ko nikaal liya. Iske baad Raj us boat mei baith gaya aur us boat mei rakhe hue ek bade se bamboo se usse port se push karne laga. Isse boat river ke kuch andar aayi aur ab Raj is boat ki help se aage badhne lag gaya.
Yeh sab Raj ne un dark elves ko avoid karne ke liye kiya tha.
Jo dark elves us academy mei aaye the vo uske piche bhi aa sakte the. Kyo ki Raj ko samajh mei aa gaya tha ke vo dark elves warriors uske ya phir uske kisi bhi friend ke scent ko smell karte hue un tak aa sakte hai is liye Raj ko aise aage badhna sahi laga.
Raj ko itna toh pata tha ke aisi jagah par dark elves apne high level Mage Warrior ko nahi bhenge kyo ki Swarndesh ko dekha jaaye toh Gladstone City uski ek small city thi aur yaha par dark elves apne high level warriors se attack kar ke unhe waste nahi karna chahte the. Saath hi is sab ko vo apna waste of time hi samajhte. Issi wajah se unhone Holmes jaise ek low level battle mage ko is city mei bheja hua tha.
Kuch 10 minutes tak Raj aise hi boat se travel karta raha. Par phir kuch distance par usse ek aur small port dikha jise dekh kar usne apne boat ko wahi par laga diya.
Ab tak Raj Gladstone City se kaafi dur aa gaya tha.
Boat se nikalne ke baad Raj phir se walking hi aage badhne lag gaya.
Kuch der chalne ke baad Raj ek market wale area mei tha. Agar yeh day time hota yeh market kaafi busy nazar aata. Par abhi raat ki darkness mei yeh kuch zyada hi calm tha. Aisa is liye kyo ki us market wale area mei kaafi kam log rehte the. Ek normal person ke liye yaha ka rental price kaafi high tha.
Yaha par bhi waisa hi scene tha jaise Gladstone City ke Bell Tower ki bell bajne ke pehle tha. City guards ko chod kar koi bhi yaha par dikh nahi raha tha.
Street ke dono sides ko jo oil lamps the un mei jo oil tha vo pehle hi khatm ho gaya tha aur street par ab sirf darkness hi thi. Kuch kuch time ke baad ek cold wind flow ho rahi thi. Iske wajah se aaspas jo bhi garbage tha vo yaha se waha udd raha tha.
Raj chalte hue main street se aage badh gaya.
Is market wale area ke piche hi ek main gate tha jaha se vo old city ki taraf jaa sakta tha.
Kuch 20 minutes chalne ke baad Raj Market Square Area mei pohoch gaya tha. Abhi Raj aage badhne hi wala tha ke usse kuch sense hua.
Kyo ki uski body Moonstone aur Fragment of Creation ke saath merge ho gayi thi is wajah se uski sensory ability kaafi badh gayi thi.
Saath hi usse weapons ke ek dusre par clash hone ki aawaze bhi sunayi de rahi thi. Lekin vo bhi kaafi halki thi. Un weapons ke clashes ko sunkar aisa lag raha tha jaise koi 2 gang members nahi balki 2 elite warriors aapas mei fight kar rahe hai.
Raj jaldi hi un aawazo ko sunkar us jagah ki taraf badhne lag gaya.
Un aawazo ko sunte hue Raj ek gali ki taraf aaya. Yeh gali kaafi andar tak jaa rahi thi aur saat mei yaha par andhera bhi kaafi tha. Yeh toh achha tha ke aaj aasman clear thaaur chand ki roshni ki wajah se us gali ke andar kuch had tak dekha jaa sakta tha
Raj ne jab us gali ke andar jhank kar dekha toh usse waha par 3 log khade dikhe. Wahi un sabhi ke samne ek shaks niche gira hua tha. Saath hi aaspas 1-2 dead bodies bhi giri hui dikh rahi thi.
Raj ne jab achhe se dekha tab usne jo log khade the unhe ek pal mei hi pehchan liya tha. Kyo ki vo koi aur nahi balki dark elves the.
Wahi jo shaks niche gira hua tha vo jaise taise khada hua aur usne uske haato mei jo sword thi usse unmei se ek dark elf ke samne point kiya.
Raj ne us human warrior ko achhe se dekha tab usse us human warrior ne unke hi country ka armour pehna hua dikha.
Ab Raj ko kuch bhi kar ke us soldier ki jaan bachahni thi.
Ardivan ke haat par kaafi serious injury hui thi. Aisa lag raha tha ke jaise uske haat ki koi nas kat gayi thi aur usse kaafi blood bhi nikal raha tha. Is wajah se vo apne sword ko bhi thik se pakad nahi paa raha tha.
Waise bhi abhi Ardivan ke samne jo dark elves warriors khade the vo koi normal warriors nahi the, Vo The Death Hand ke Assassins the. Even agar Ardivan apne best condition mei bhi hota toh bhi vo ek saath 3 dark elf assassins ke saath fight nahi kar sakta tha. Upar se abhi uska haat bhi injured tha.
Lekin Ardivan ne yeh soch liya tha vo apni aakhri saans tak in dark elves assassins ke saath fight karta rahega.
Usne apne samne jo dark elves the unhe dekhte hue kaha.
“Mein ne pehle hi tum mei se ek ko maar diya hai. Mein ne apne loss ko cover kar liya hai aur aage jo hoga vo bonus hoga.”
Yeh keh kar usne ek dark elf assassin par attack kar diya.
Waise Ardivan ke aise attack ko dekh kar vo sabhi dark elves assassins kuch surprise ho gaye the. Unhone ek aise soldier se is tarah ke fight ko expect nahi kiya hua tha. Ardivan ne 1-2 dark elf ko apne punches maare wahi ek dark elf assassin ne uska armour jaha se break hua tha waha ke waist wale area par apne blade se ek cut maar diya. Lekin yeh karne mei vo dark elf assassin khud bhi bacha nahi paya. Ardivan ke haat ek haat mei jo knife tha usse usne us dark elf ke haat par cut kiya. Us blade par teeth bane hue the. Jab Ardivan ne apne knife ko piche khincha tab us dark elf ke haat par kaafi serious injury hui thi.
“Piche ho jaao. Usse aise blood ke behen ke wajah se mar jaane do.”
Jab ek dark elf assassin ne dekha ke Ardivan ko apne life ki koi parva nahi hai toh usne apne saathiyo ko piche aane ke liye kaha. Wahi in sabhi se Ardivan ki saanse fast ho gayi thi. Injured hone ke baad bhi 3 elite dark elf assassins ke saath fight karna sach mei kaafi badi baat thi. Wahi usne apne last strike mei apni bachi hui puri strength ka use kar liya tha. Saath hi uske injury se ab blood bhi kaafi speed se behne laga tha. Wahi uske waist par hue new injury se uske body se aur bhi blood nikalne laga tha. Is sab ki wajah se uske clothes bhi blood se bhig gaye the.
Ardivan ne apne injuries ko dekha aur haste hue kuch kaha.
“Pata nahi Commander aur baki sabhi kaise honge ?”
Even dark elves ke Gladstone City ke upar attack karne se pehle bhi The MI 3 aur The Death Hand ke bich kaafi cold wars hog aye the. Lekin abhi ki situation kaafi serious thi.
The Death Hand ne suddenly Gladstone City par surprise attack kar diya tha. Is wajah se The MI 3 ke paas Man Power kam pad gayi thi. City ke bahar jo scouts the un sabhi ko aur unke communication ways ko dark elves assassins ne puri tarah se destroy kar diya tha.
City guards aur The MI 3 ek dusre ke saath homing birds ke saath communicate karte the. Unhe bhi dark elves assassins ne destroy kar diya tha. Sirf kuch secret birds hi bach paaye the market wale area mei jinke baremei dark elves ko pata nahi tha.
Dark elves commander ke tactics ke saath dark elves assassins ne is market ke sabhi guards ko maar diya tha. Par Ardivan kuch lucky tha jo unke attacks se kuch had tak bach paya tha.
Vo jaise taise kar ke is market wale area mei aaya tha aur usne yaha aa kar jo bache hue homing birds the unhe release kar diya aur saath hi unke saath yeh news bhi bhej di thi ke Gladstone City par dark elves ne attack kar diya hai.
Un sabhi birds par ek special scent ko spray kiya hua tha. Is wajah se unpar koi bhi blood eye owls attack nahi kar sakta tha. At least tab tak tak toh nahi jab tak unhe koi kuch na kar de. Agar in homing birds ke raaste ke bich koi bhi nahi aaya toh vo 1 hour ke andar paas ke military post par pohoch sakte the.
Us post par Swarndesh ke sab se achhe major mei se ek post the. Unka naam tha Veer. Lekin unhe sabhi Black Iron ke naam se jante the. Wahi unke battalion ko Iron Crusade kaha jaata tha. Agar un tak yeh news safely pohoch jaati hai toh vo apne Army Marshal aur Master Swordsman ke saath vo kuch troops ko bhej sakte the. Isse Gladstone City ko zyada destroy hone se bachaya jaa sakta tha.
Abhi Gladstone jiski zarurat thi vo tha time.
Un dark elves assassins ki baato se Ardivan ko yeh pata chal gaya tha ke kisi ne magic academy ke portal tower ko destroy kar diya hai. Yeh sab sunkar Ardivan soch raha tha ke jisne bhi magic academy ke portal tower ko destroy kiya usne Gladstone City ko jaldi destroy hone se bacha liya tha.
Kisi bhi detailed report ke bina dark elves warriors ki army jo north mei khadi thi vo aage nahi badh sakti thi. Kyo ki unka attack successful rahe is liye unhe detailed report ki zarurat thi. Issi liye kuch dark elves aur dark elves assassins ko Gladstone City ke andar bheja gaya tha. Taki vo apne army ko detailed report de sake.
Par ab jab portal tower destroy ho gaya tha toh dark elves ki army ko report milne mei late ho sakta tha. Is sab se Gladstone City ko aur bhi time mil sakta tha aur Iron Crusade ko yaha aane ke liye bhi.
Ardivan ko bas is baat ka hi bura lag raha tha k evo apne opponents ko haarte hue nahi dekh sakta tha.
Par Ardivan ne soch liya tha ke vo aise hi apne death ka wait nahi karega. Usne apne daato ko bhinch liya aur apne haato mei knife tha uske saath usne phir se un dark elf assassins par attack kar diya.
Jab tak uske body mei strength thi tab tak vo fight karna chahta tha.
Abhi dark elves aur Ardivan ek dusre ko dekh rahe the. Par tabhi unke piche se kuch hundred feet ke distance se ek shadow un sabhi ki taraf aane lag gayi.
Vo shadow aage aa kar waha par rakhe hue kuch cartons ke piche chup gayi.
Yaha par fight apne climax par thi ke tabhi vo shadow piche se un dark elves assassins ki taraf kaafi speed se aayi aur us shadow ne suddenly apne sword ko un 3 dark elf assassins mei se ek ke body ke aarpaar kar diya. Wahi jab dusre dark elf ne apne side mei yeh hota hua dekha tab tak us shadow ne apne sword ko us dark elf ke body mei se nikaal kar us dusre dark elf ke sir ko cut kar diya aur us dark elf ka sir uske body se cut ho kar niche gir gaya tha.
Yeh sab itna fast hua ke kisi ko bhi kuch samajh mei nahi aaya. Apne 2 saathiyo ko aise marta hua dekha kar jo bacha hua dark elf assassin tha vo jaldi se us shadow ki taraf badhne hi wala tha ke tabhi piche se Ardivan ne uske haato mei jo knife tha usse us dark elf assassin ke sir mei hi ghusa diya.
