After hunting together for a while, my peasants turned into watchmen, they all wore leather armor and had swords. As we were walking to a hunting spot we noticed a dead skeleton on the road, she stopped and got off her horse. She started to examine the skeleton.
"What is that?" I asked
"A scout sent by The Plague Doctor. Lucky for us this was killed by a monster."
"The Plague Doctor?"
"Yeah, that is one hell of a fellow from Velko Clan. He can create zombies out of dead units and can spawn skeletons like this. If you see a man with a black robe and a plague doctor mask, just run. There are even some rumors that say he killed his leader and made him into a puppet. Well, this shouldn't ruin our mood, we are quite close to the orc's cave!" She hit my back and started to ride her horse to the orc's cave.
Her squad was way faster than mine and when we reached the cave, they were already fighting the orc. It was a huge orc with two heads, she and her squad was running in a circle to distract the orc.
"This slow idiot can't catch me! Get your units ready and attack it!" She yelled at me, this was going to be my first big battle as a leader. I drew my sword and rushed at the orc's legs. I was able to cut them both of with a slash skill and the orc fell to the ground. My units finished the orc while he was on the ground.
After the battle, a couple of my units got upgraded to veteran watchmen, basically watchmen with better equipment and skills.
"This was easy," I said.
"It is always easy with two parties!" One of her knights rode next to her and whispered her something.
"Sheeps base is under attack!"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"What!? I need to go back then." I turned around and I was ready to run but she stopped me.
"I will support you but there must be a chest inside the orc's cave. You deserve that much."
"Thank you, Beatrix! Units fall back to the base!" My units started to run for the base and I went inside the cave, I was expecting the chest to be hidden but I was wrong, it was in the middle of the cave.
I crouched down and slowly opened the chest, there was a single piece of paper and I started to read it.
"You have obtained the traitor card, you will betray your team and join the other team. What is this?"
[Sheeps have changed sides]
The moment, Sheeps changing sides were announced. I felt a strong bloodlust behind me, I saw something was coming down on me and so I rolled to the wall.
I looked up and I saw Beatrix holding two swords and looking at me with saliva drooling out of her helmet. I was shocked for a moment and then I realized we were now enemies but that wasn't the end of it.
"S-So you lured me here?" I asked while panicking.
"Does it really matter anymore? Just stay still and let me kill you." Her friendly tone turned into a dark tone, everything about her changed in a second. She was completely a different person, her eyes were not the same, they looked at me like I was an easy prey.
I looked at my sword, it was near the chest and I jumped to my sword but the moment I got my sword Beatrix stabbed me in the back. I fell to the ground in pain, she turned my body and got on top of me, she started to count.
"One finger, two finger, and three finger. Ah! There is it! Your artery!" She stabbed my throat with one of her swords and started to count more.
"One finger, two finger and three finger. I found your heart as well!" Her second sword pierced through my heart, she got up and started to wipe my blood off her golden armor.
"Well, I need to go now. If you die I will get your experience no matter where I am so." She got on her horse and left, I was left alone in that cold cave. I started to get sleepy but I tried to resist the urge to sleep but I lost the fight, I slowly closed my eyes and everything went dark….
"Wake up." A terrifying voice ordered me to wake up, I opened my eyes and saw a dark figure standing right next to me. This dark figure wore a black robe and a plague doctor mask, I instantly reached for my sword but he stepped on my hand.
"I am on your team now. You were resurrected by me, you should be grateful." He said, this plague doctor was on my team now, I was lucky to be alive. There were two things for sure, I wasn't going to die anymore and I was surely going to get my revenge on Beatrix.
