The wind howls and the tree sways in a distance faraway from territory of the Everharts.

A Platoon consisting an army of 30 soldiers march on to borders of Ariella and Myra kingdom.

Not in present nor the past no one among them likes war.

But in the face of the those who hold authority upon their head, there was nothing they could do.

All their life they had been knights protecting the citizens of the kingdom.

They were suppose to be rewarded with glory and honor.

But life was unfair.

Because there was one thing a bit peculiar about this platoon, although they were indeed send by the old nobles of the Myre kingdom, they neither hold the flag of their kingdom nor had any possession that could indicate that they were from the Myre kingdom.

They carry rusted sword which could barely be called a weapon and a rusted amour which creaks as if to break apart every time they move.

Indeed life was truly unfair to them, they had served the kingdom and devoted their life, everyone one of them had entrusted the life's of their family to their kingdom, But who knew this would use against them, who knew the kingdom they served would ultimately betray them.

Every person who saw them heading towards the border notice their peculiarity ,however none of them raise a question.

After all , it was clear what the purpose of the person who sent them was.

-They were send out to die

In the forefront of the army was the Platoon commander 'Oren' who was leading them, beside him were his second in command Vinci and third in command Miller.

As they looked back at the platoon behind them, they could see death looming over them.

Oren's face lost the colour of life, they were his own men and yet-

There was nothing he could do to save them.

"Okay we will rest for awhile" he spoke.

Oren could only grit his teeth as he look beyond his platoon in the thick forest a few kilometres away.

He could see a few silhouettes in the shadows.

They were trying to hide their presence, but since Oren and his platoon were not the once who they were trying to hide from , They had already notice them.

All of Them could only wonder- 'what exactly are they looking for?'

They were meant as sacrificial pawn-but to what?

The only thing They know is that 'there was definitely more than one super human among amongst them' and that 'we were meant to be used as baits

"Damnn those bastard" spoke the Third in command - Miller, who stood right beside Oren.

" If only Old Master was still alive , he would never let things like this happened." spoke the 2nd in command Vinci.

"Indeed" Oren replied.

After the short break, They then began start going to- God knows where.

And before long night soon fell upon them

***Oren POV***

Even in the dark We could only March on as we were told.

"To not even let us have a rest at the dark those sick bastard" a soldier complained.

i look at the night sky that had few moons illuminate the dark forest.

"This might be my last time to enjoy the beauty of the night" i muttered

I look back my platoon soldiers from time and time again.

We had spend so much time together, we strive through all the pleasant times and tough times together yet,

i have never felt so powerless like this before.

I could only bury my anger and regret for being so powerless to watch the family i served burned to the ground.

"This might really be our last battle" another soldier said.

No one could refute him, he was right right.

Even if we tried to fight them disregarding our equipment which could break at anytime, they had more than one superhuman of 2nd tier.

The weakest 1st tier super human were looked up by the multitudes.

Even their pure strength could rival 10 Adult men and that is disregarding their magic or martial technique power.

On the other hand and we only had 3 superhuman on our side and that is me, Vinci and Miller, i am 2nd tier but both of them were 1st tier.

I could easily handle ten 1st tier, but considering the enemy can also do that we would be fighting a losing battle.

As we continue on moving for hours we could finally see what appears to be a village? illuminated my a few torch.

Everyone had a surprise expression.

we had never known that there was a village here.

As we go on closer and closer, the time to make a move also became closer and closer.

I look at Vinci who had a complex expression, unlike other soldier who had their families being threatened to take part in this mission, he was the only one who still took part in it despite knowing fully well he will die in this mission.

He had been taken in by the old master and trained ever since then became my second in command.

Just like me, he had no families or so it could say that this platoon was the only family he have.

But unlike me, he appreciate everything he ever got in life.

"Brothers, we've gone through so much together, We've enjoyed and flew through life together just like the birds in the sky, adapting to the most severe environment and swim through pain just like the fish in the sea and in the end we've learned to walk the Earth as Brothers.... I'll be honest, even if it all ends now I am glad to have met families like you" He announced with a smile.

It was a fake smile but nonetheless, Everyone shows a faint smile.

Indeed we've went through a lot together.

"Even if this is our last battle we will not hesitate - get ready" I said.

Indeed, we had never plan on letting things go according to what those sick old fogies want.

As we walk Everyone slowly took out two scrolls we hid in our body, these were magic scrolls created by the magician guild, even single one of these costed 20 gold coins and was bought by our life savings, they contain 1st tier spell [Fulmen(lightning bolt] and [ignis pila(fire ball)].

It was for our ultimate counterattack, these were to be used the moment we had the chance.

We stood at the Entrance of the village, as if we were waiting further orders.

we could see the village people peek out of their windows as if they had never see so many armed people.

"It seems they are trying to lure out a person from this village" Vinci spoke.

After a few moments of waiting,two figure slowly appears out of the village.

one was an old man with white hair he wore ragged clothes with hole in it, but on closer look they seem to be - a old looking bulter clothes.

Beside him hold his hand was a thin little girl with jet black hair , wearing ragged clothes.

Even with the ragged clothes and thin stature, the girl could be only defined as -stunning.

"I am the humble village head of this place, Is there anything i could help the visitors with"

Indeed the little girl was a dead drop beauty but at this moment nobody could care about her, because upon seeing the old man we all had a stunned expression.

"B-butler Zayde, you're alive?"
