The Kind of Evil-Chapter 214: Intruders.

"Fire!" A revolutionary knight shouted and pointed his sword at the Union army that was trying to enter the south gate.

Boulders, arrows, and giant arrows were shot at them, bombarding them without hesitation. However, the Mana barriers that the mages created were strong enough to deflect and stop them. No matter how many were thrown at them, the Union army didn't stop advancing.

The revolutionary mages couldn't penetrate the barriers as well since they weren't strong enough. They didn't want to waste their energy on something pointless, so they reserved their energy for the real fight later.

"Prepare the magic arrows!" The revolutionary knight ordered.

The revolutionary knights carried the ballista giant arrows that had been engraved with runes. Once they loaded all the ballistas, the knight signaled them to throw the giant arrows at the Union army. The arrows were infused with Mana, activating the magic formation, creating a piercing and wind-breaking spell.

Once the arrows were released, the Union army noticed the difference between the previous arrows and the ones that were flying toward them. The moment the arrows hit the barriers, they shattered them and put the whole army in a vulnerable state.

"Take cover!" Thalior shouted as he watched boulders, spells, and arrows fly toward them.

Thalior and the elite knights imbued their swords with Aura, releasing slash waves at the boulders. They managed to prevent the boulders from hitting the army while the knights protected the mages from the spells and the arrows with their shields.

It would take time to create Mana barriers, and they had no choice but to endure the bombardment that the revolutionary army had thrown at them. They couldn't protect themselves since they were out in the open, especially with the rough weather.

"Fire!"

Giant ballista arrows were flying toward them, and they couldn't protect themselves from it. They raised their shields, but it was pointless as the arrows sent them all flying, breaking their bones and limbs. They were unable to do anything but to charge forward and wait for the mages to create the Mana barriers again.

‎"We need more time..." Thalior looked at the wounded and fallen soldiers behind him. "Give them the signal," he ordered.‎One of the mages cast a fireball into the sky and exploded it when it was high enough. The signal was seen by the Black Scarf unit that had infiltrated the capital city.

Since they had infiltrated the city for the past two days, they had managed to get armor for themselves. They blended in with the revolutionary army, and nobody suspected them a thing.

‎The unit moved in the dark and moved toward the south wall. They killed the soldiers they saw on their way to the wall without making any sound.

‎Once they got on top of the wall, they ran toward the knights who operated the ballistas. They unsheathed their swords and killed them before the other could react.

‎"Intruders! Kill the intruders!"

‎The Black Scarf unit managed to do what they came for, which was to attract the enemy's attention. They coated their swords with Aura, destroying the enemy's arsenals as they fought the knights.

‎"Now!" Thalior pointed his sword at the massive steel gate.

‎The remaining mages who didn't work on the Mana barriers cast fireballs at the gate. They bombarded the gate repeatedly until the steel gate toppled while the knights protected them.

‎Knowing the gate was open, the enemy had no choice but to wait for the Union army to enter the city. They were anxious since it was them who became vulnerable from the attacks.

(At the same time in the palace)

‎"Enemy is entering from the north gate!"

‎"North gate? What do you mean? There was nobody before!" The revolutionary knight commander glared at the knight with a confused expression.

‎"It's only one person..."

‎"One person? And you're reporting to me just because of one person?" The commander shouted. "Deal with him!"

‎"We couldn't... Sir. He single-handedly killed everyone on the wall..."

‎"What?!" The commander was dumbfounded. "Who is he?" He asked.

‎"We don't know, Sir. His face is hidden under the helmet, he's just a knight... an ordinary knight of the South Neva Union..."

‎"How could an ordinary knight kill all the knights on the north gate?! Are you stupid?!" The commander yelled at the knight. "Frasa!" He shouted as he looked around.

‎A big bald knight with a big scar across his face approached the commander. His eyes were cold and menacing as he stared at the commander's eyes.

‎"Go to the north gate and kill the intruder! I want him dead!" The commander glared at Frasa.

‎Frasa nodded and grabbed his sword and shield from the wall. Not long after he left, a mysterious man approached the commander and stood behind him.

‎"Is there a problem?" The man asked in a calm and gentle voice.

‎The commander got a chill in his arms as he slowly turned around. He nervously swallowed his saliva and lowered his head.

‎"No, My Lord... everything is under control. We still have something under our sleeves, and we will use it to defeat them when things aren't going well," the commander answered, his head still lowered and didn't dare to look at the man's face.

‎"Are you prepared to bear the consequences? I don't need to remind you if you fail, you have nowhere to run or hide. Your life is the only way to pay for this failure," the mysterious man said and then walked into the shadows.

‎‎"Damn it!" The commander slammed the desk as he looked out the window.

‎Frasa and dozens of other knights went to the north gate to check on the problem. When they arrived, they were shocked the bodies of knights scattered near the wall.

‎They couldn't believe that something like this was done by one person. The only people that came to their minds were Swordmasters. However, they were informed that there was no Swordmaster other than Thalior since Uriel didn't join the war.

‎"Who did this..." Frasa raised his shield anxiously.

‎"We... we don't know, Sir..."

‎Frasa looked around, and he couldn't find the intruder that the knight had mentioned. He didn't like the situation he was in, and the person who could do all that alone, he wouldn't be a match for that person.

‎"Keep your eyes open... widely..." Frasa raised his sword and kept looking around.

‎The knights were anxious as they stayed close to each other. Suddenly the sound of an arrow was heard and hit right on the Knight's eye, in between the gap in the helmet. Another knight got hit right in between his eyes with an arrow before they could react from the first one.

‎"Raise your shield and take cover!" Frasa shouted.

‎They managed to block a few arrows that were released at them with their shields. They didn't dare to lower their shields because of the culprit's extreme accuracy that could kill them even in the dark of night.

‎They noticed the enemy had stopped, and one of the knights slowly lowered his shield to check. In a matter of a second, he got shot by an arrow, piercing through his skull from a different angle.

‎"Find cover!" Frasa said as he looked at the house behind him. "Over there! Go!" He ordered.

‎The knights slowly walked backwards until they all entered the house safely, including Frasa. As soon as they closed the door, Frasa threw his shield out of frustration.

‎"Coward!" Frasa shouted.

‎Before Frasa's frustration subdued, they heard something land on the roof. They all looked up and became quiet and stood still. Then they heard a creaking sound from upstairs, a sound of a window being opened.

‎"You two, go and check," Frasa pointed at the two knights in front of him.

‎The knights walked up the stairs slowly and quietly. Frasa and the remaining knights' eyes were focused on the top of the stairs. It was dark, with only moonlight providing light for the second floor.

‎It hadn't been a minute when they heard a loud thudding sound from the ceiling. They then saw blood dripping down the stairs and hitting the floor. The final string of their courage snapped when they saw two heads rolling down the stairs.

‎All the knights didn't think twice and instantly ran toward the door. As soon as they left the building, their heads got cut off before they could even scream.

‎Frasa was petrified that everyone got killed. He glanced at the shield that he had thrown earlier, and before he could move a muscle, the door was being closed. He slowly turned around and saw the man in the South Neva Union armor with his hands behind his back.

‎"Please..." Frasa collapsed, his legs could no longer move.

‎Javi revealed his hands, showing Frasa the katar on each hand that was covered in blood. He approached Frasa, leaving trails of blood on the floor.

‎"Coward," Javi muttered coldly, mocking Frasa for saying that word as he raised his hands.

‎"I... I—" Before Frasa could finish his sentence, Javi had decapitated him and disappeared.
