Chase


    The full bright day and the silent street echoed with the sharp voice of the retainer. He was running madly toward them. It was type of way to infer fear in the enemies.


    He was doing the same. Suddenly Ahram jumped and reached near rooftop. Then Albert followed and ran at the left side of the street. They were very organized to wee him. Sashi left the frontal part of street.


    She was going to follow Ahram from different direction. The way this retainer was shouting meant something dangerous. Their first impression was natural. They thought that there must be another retainer in the vicinity.


    They were right. Another retainer was leaving next street however after listening call for help he came toward the same street. The team members wanted to get over the first before the second retainer enter the same street.


    The retainer waved bastard sword and attacked Orin. He wasing from the right side. An arrow stuck at his hand at the same time. The sword fell.


    It rendered him stranded because Albert reached on his head. Junan might have joined too however he was waiting for the second retainer. Someone should wee him too.


    Jake reached thest of the street hiding beside the corner wall. Ahram was at the rooftop, he gestured to tell that retainer wasing. Jake prepared. He was going to use bullet in a way that it would not create much sound. The bulky body could potentially do that.


    Nevertheless he could not find chance because Junan also reached. He gestured him to wait for the time being. His weapons were helpful in destroying the Altar. Jake nodded and stepped back.


    Orin hand held and smashed the mace on the head of the retainer. This single attack proved fatal. Junan used sword his aim was the neck however the height of the retainer was hindrance. It only injured the arm. Junan stepped back immediately because the distance was lesser and the enemy possessed bastard sword.


    Its range was double than the normal sword. rk threw his hammer toward second retainer in order to distract his attack. It proved useful. Both Junan and Jake created safe distance meanwhile.


    Ahram was waiting with the chain in case they needed some more time to surround him. Seeing that they were able to reorganize he jumped toward another roof.


    His job was to make sure that the near streets were out of danger. Someone should keep strict eyes else they will be killed in their ignorance.


    Knowing that all of them were confident and vignt Ahram checked next street. There was no one currently. Only some people gossiping about the arena runners and the conflict of the retainers.


    The nine wing was currently center of mess. A single team was creating big ruckus for the retainers. Half of them were busy to tackle the flies of other two teams.


    They were flies for them because they were running around the seven wing and the six wing. Those two wings were confusing for new entrants of the city.


    Two more team members were dead because of their foolishness. Two members of the second team were unable to do anything to break in the Altar.


    The retainers in charge were discussing important aspect of their task. They received news about third team and it brought worry for them. They called two seniors and discussed. "We should throw these arena runners in the Pool of Dead. Before the third team reached Altar we should get ready to set trap for them." An old retainer with the same appearance like others spoke in shaking voice.


    He was loyal and sent by the Arena Duke. The Arena Duke was head of the Arena Association however after knowing that some of the members got disloyal toward the king he took the oath to kill them if he happened to see them.


    He was not directly rted with the king''s security nevertheless he could not act neutral when the members of his association were involved.


    To get rid the me the Arena Duke announced this. Some were aware why Duke renounced them. Still it has some worth when the Duke go against for something. Arena runners lost all support and they won''t be able to find shelter if they were caught.


    They should not expect Duke toe forward and set them free. Third team took perfect decision to clear the nine wing first. It reduced their sessive burden. This clearing would cut the threat in half.


    "If we throw them in the pool of dead then we will be questioned for ourck of patience. You talk as if you are afraid of third team. They are still in the nine wing. Till the evening they would not be able to leave it. At night our ability would increase ten folds then we will capture them from their neck." The second in charge spoke aggressive. He was youthful and terrible.


    In fact he was willing to stand still so that the runners took them idle. This created deception would suddenly break at the evening and the runners would fell in trouble.


    "I don''t know why you rely on the ten folds ability? Suppose if third team possess some weapon to tackle then we will be considered criminal to wait that long. Do not forget that Itaten Farm will open in the midnight. If we failed then the princess would cast the spell burning us away." The old in charge reminded.


    He heard that the cruel princess became possessive after knowing that the King was facing curse. She wanted to make sure that all preparations should go perfectly for the Last Feast.


    She was ruthless when ites to lead the security. Her orders were simr to that of King. The retainers were directly under her orders. She rarely used spell however those who offended her or did not fulfill orders were punished with the spell.


    This could turn their fate terrible.. It forced them to take sober actions before the evening fell.
