A few minutes later, at the royal stables, the carriages are getting prepared for their leaving. Horse riders are giving their horses some great grass to eat, while the knights, who are getting to their seats, they await their leaving for the area where it seems that the leader of the Yugara family, Big Father Yugara, is hiding and planning a new attack using the troops of another noble family that is on their side. The name of that family is unknown, for now, but the King believes it might be at the same location as where Yugara family is.

On the second carriage, Fiona gets on the carriage. with her armour on, and with the giant sword tied to her armour back. As she entered the carriage, she goes to the place where Marcus sits, and she sits next to him. Marcus is wearing his armour, plus, has his two axes tied to his back.

"Been a while, Marcus."

"Likewise." says Marcus to Fiona while he takes a look to see who are the six knights who will travel with them. "How is Judah doing?"

"Good. He is at home with Diana." says Fiona lying to Marcus because she cannot reveal where is Judah and what is he actually doing, after all, not every knight from here knows about the guild.

"You didn't brought him along to this battle?"

"Neither you did." says Fiona looking around the carriage, but she couldn't see Ron, the squire of Marcus.

"Ron is at his parent's home. They need to do some renovations or something like that. It has been quite hard you know. I never thought raising a warrior would be this difficult."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Ron... He has started to act reckless, dumb, and never concentrate on fighting."

"Isn't he always like that?" asks Fiona at Marcus who is looking down.

"No." sighs Marcus. "He has started to act like that since rumours about Judah being a member of Gremory family. I do not know what rumours do Ron heard, but I do not believe Judah would screw a woman at his age, right?"

"Judah? To? What?" says Fiona trying to hold her laugh. "D-Do you? Baha! Hahaha! Do rumours say Judah is screwing women over?"

"They aren't true. Like I thought. You will probably have to say that to Ron. But on second, note, it would be a great idea to don't."

"R-right." says Fiona who managed to control herself from laughing at that funny yet ridiculous rumour.

"Alright, everyone!" says Amadeus coming to the carriages while he is carrying a long sword to him. "The carriages are ready and filled with knights ready to do bloodshed! All the carriages will deliver you to the village where it's supposed to be Big Father Yugara hiding! The village it is located close to Arges perimeter. As soon as you all got there, you will take the positions, and when we will signal the sky with a fireball, you will charge to the area! Understand?"

"Yes, sir!" yelled the knights from the carriage.

"And all of you will have to remain silent, understand?!"

"Yes, sir! Yes!" yelled much more knights to Amadeus.

"Alright! Now. You can all go! Good luck!"

And Amadeus is heading to on dragon, who is controlled by a dragon rider. On that dragon is also riding, besides Amadeus, two knights who aren't on the same level as Amadeus, Nathan and Ana.

The carriages leave the stale area from the back of the palace, one by one.

***

A few minutes later, the carriages got at a safe distance from the place where the meeting with the human-demons is taking place. Fiona, and with the rest of the knights are leaving the cart, and they go to a fence, hiding there and waiting for the signals of the people who infiltrate on the area. They cannot use any light thing to help them see the surrounding because of the night, and it will attract the attention of the people from the house where the meeting is taking place.

As Fiona looks on the sky, checking to see if the dragons could be seen, but it is hard to see those dragons in the night, especially with a naked eye. Marcus is also where the group of Fiona it is, and this man, decides to strip his shirt, and proceed to meditate. A few knights were surprised by this, but Fiona wasn't that surprised. After all, it is not the first time she sees Marcus topless and his tattoos all over his body.

As Marcus meditates, his tattoos proceed to show some light, and he says some unintelligible words. While he says those words, he opens his eyes, which shows a blue light. He stays like that for at least three minutes, and as he finished his meditation, his eyes became normal again. He gets up, he wears on his shirt, and he looks at the knights, and at the commander of them.

"I saw in the building nine assassins, Big Father and a Demon." says Marcus feeling nervous. "The demon is scary and he... he is something I have never seen nor heard from the Gods I have in my body."

"...Is the demon strong?" asks Fiona.

"Is a demon for fuck's sake." says a knight to Fiona. "You wanted to commit suicide, girl!?"

"Is two meters tall, and he has a four-meter fork stabbed in his back." says Marcus to Fiona feeling uneasy. "This is no monster, Fiona. This is an actual threat here. It will be hard for all of us to defeat it, or even capturing it."

"We will see." says Fiona looking on the sky, seeing the dragons approaching on the house where the knights who are listed to enter the house and capture the Big father. "Our mission it is to capture the Big Father. Not take on a fight with a demon."

***

As Fiona, Marcus and more knights are staying on their positions, prepared to attack at any time, they look on the dark sky, at the moment where the three strongest knights of Kingdom of Romania are jumping on the action cleaning the way for them to advance and took Big Father as a prisoner.

Fiona is thinking, of the things Marcus mentioned earlier while he was using his God powers to see through the walls of that building, about the assassins there. How can there be only nine assassins on the whole building, while there is Big Father and a demon. Doesn't that show to be a trap planned by them, or it is just a dumb move played by them? Fiona looks at one of their commanders, she walks slowly to them, and she asks them a question she had on her mind earlier.

"Are we sure this ain't a trap to them?"

"What do you mean, Fiona?" asks the commander looking at her, not feeling intimidated by her presence or being three centimetres taller.

"Think about it. How come there are fewer assassins who guard them, and they are just there, chatting and doing their business. This doesn't smell good to me."

"Oh. Knight Fiona. This is my decision." says the commander with a grin on his face. "I am a noble, and you are a peasant, so, don't tell me I have to do my job. And we are following the King orders, not yours dirty knight." he looks at the battlefield, and ignores Fiona.

She was about to take her sword out, and slain that stain of the Kingdom, but if she would've done that, the King would have thrown her into the jail, or worse, executed by the public and nobles demands. She decided to leave it be this way.

As soon as these three knights got into the building, the knights observe a flare rising into the sky, which is the signal, and the ambush must begin. Everyone took their weapons out. Mages took their wands, or staff, or their spell book. Knights took their weapons who are using it for close range, or bows and arrows. Commanders are jumping on their horses and take the lead of the squads, leading them to the houses where the action will begin.

Fiona and with Marcus, are in those squads, they are tagging along with their commander, being at a few meters from his behind as they run together to the building. While they are running, Fiona took her giant sword, and she wields with her arms. Marcus takes his two axes and holds them into his hands. He rage as he runs to the building, together with the other knights.

***

A few moments later, all of these knights entered the building, and as they got there, they see a disturbing thing. The three knights, are nailed into the walls of the building, while eight bodies, most likely of those assassins are laid on the floor, all killed. The knights were shocked to see the three strongest knights of the kingdom, being nailed and with blood dripping from all holes they've got. Amadeus got at least ten holes into his upper body, two on the legs and one at the belly. Nathan got at least twelve holes, only on the both of his arms and one big hole into his upper body. But, the other knight, got it worse, and that one, has nine holes into her head, her eyes and mouth are dropping blood. The warrior Ana, also known as The Archer of Henedora.

Fiona drops her sword as she looks at the bodies of the knights, she doesn't know that Amadeus and Nathan are still alive, she, as all the warriors from Kingdom of Romania present there, they think both of them are dead.

As some were looking at the bodies, Marcus looks at the people who have done this. He is shocked, and frozen as he sees the creature who was able to took down three strongest knights of Kingdom of Romania. The creature who've done this is no human, nor a semi-human, not even a human-demon, it is a demon. And this demon it is exactly like Marcus described it earlier, and this demon, is looking angrily at us.

"You mortals! Dare to kill Big Father, and try to escape from my wrath!?"

As he said this, Fiona and with other knights, took a peak to the floor, and they see the body of Big Father decapitated, his limbs cut from his entire body and started to melt. Fiona almost dropped her blade, and before she would be able to look at the demon, one of the foolish commander, decides to be the hero, and he charges to the demon.

"You waste." says the Demon taking his sword from the back, and cutting that commander in half without hesitation.

As the commander got cut, with his horse, the other commanders proceeded to tremble and drop their weapons. One of them even abandoned their horse and jumped on the ground, on his knees, demanding mercy and to forgive them. But the demon, as he saw that commander doing this, he slapped the ground, transforming the noble commander into what a bug becomes after he got caught.

Now, the knights are looking at the demon, who is angry, and he holds his sword. All of them are shaking and froze there. But, as soon as the demon was about to do one step forward, Marcus goes ahead, topless and with his tattoo glowing a blue light.

"Would you look at that." says the demon with a smirk on his face as he looks at Marcus tattoo. "A God vessel."

"Marcus?" asked Fiona looking shocked at Marcus. "What does he say by a God's vessel?"

"Fiona... And everyone." says Marcus as his lights proceed to become much more lighter. "This is my fight."

And some knights, left Marcus, and the commander to, but Fiona, is standing there, not even thinking to leave this place without his best friend.
