Settled in the forest heading towards the Barclay's territory were a group of 8 men waiting for carts to come through "See anything 6?" a man with a hood on covering his face as were his partners.
"Yeah there's a cart with knights and a kid who's definition of a joke is this?". "Let's fall back for and alert 1 that we may have a little bit more trouble than usual" the second figure said. "As you wish 2" addressing the man who seems to be his second in command.
"A little ways away from the forest Lucius and the knights decided to take a break. It has been 4 days of traveling with provided rations. Lucius had always heard that they taste like crap, 'So this is why a lot of our men take big risks, this food may as well just be a clump of dirt.' finishing the last of his.
After a half hour break the group was moving again, some of the men were talking about what they were going to do with there with their pay when this escort is over.
"Sometimes this job isn't worth the risk" one of the soldiers said absentmindedly. "Got that right my wife is having our second child in a month" 5 stayed with a far away look.
"Send my regards to your wife I hope you have a healthy kid" 8 had a smile on his face thinking of his own woman and having kids.
"Yeah I plan to name her after my" an arrow found it's way into fives neck he died instantly.
"Rouges get into formation now!!!." Luke handing out orders while pulling his blade out. The remaining Soldiers made a circle around the carriage. Lucius was on full alert having been next to the carriage he was in the circle.
'Do you really think you can hide'. Having been trained to guard the family learning ways to combat various opponents. Using his magic in the form of sonar he pinged three figures.
"3" he said members of the guard looked at him. "Young master what are you going on about?" Luke asked on alert. "There are 3 people in that direction" pointing to his right "are you sure?" one of the knights asked nervously.
Lucius deciding to take matters into his own hands "I'm going to end this stay here and guard the goods". Before any of the knights could protest Lucius took a leap forward sprinting towards the forest.
"What how did that kid find us! one of the 3 rouges livid seeing Lucius coming too fast for him to read his movements. "Let's regroup go to the den". This was a trap not that it would do any good.
Retreating with Lucius not far behind the rouges were underestimating him exactly what he wanted. 'Morons do you really think I would have come alone if you had a chance to beat me'.
Gathering with the remaining 6 rouges 2 explained that they are being pursued by a possible sensor user. "A sensor you say they are hard to come by it would be best to kill him." There leader 1 stated flipping a old cross.
Lucius landing for a moment had a stare down with the men who started laughing. "You say this kid managed to track you down" The laughing continued now some of the men on there sides "Oh no will you defeat me by being adorable little boy." now all of them where nearly on the ground.
Lucius took very little insult to that last comment being called "angelic" by his sister's do to his pretty face, long blue hair and his pink eyes. This in turn made him prettier than most girls his age.
Moving too fast he cut 2 of the rouges head off in one move. "YOU LITTLE FUCK I'll KILL Ya!!!!" one of the remaining rouges shouted in rage rushing Lucius like a madman 'fool' Lucius thought letting the man come close enough before conjuring a spear of moonlight that pierced the man in the heart killing him instantly.
The remaining 5 were now out on guard and out for blood. "kill him now!!!" 1 shouting orders left and right, numbers 3 and 4 attacked in a cohesive fashion with one hanging back forming a spell of some sort while the other drew a set of short blades that didn't at all look normal.
'So he doesn't know how to properly use them, I could use a set of blades so I will take them once he's dead.' Leaning towards the left he avoided be slashed down the middle and moving forward he had his hand on the man's chest, "gurk" using his magic in the form of poison stopping the heart and the man fell dead dropping the short blades on the ground.
"You will pay for that with your life!!". 4 has finished charging his spell shooting it upwards, hearing homing noise's Lucius didn't waste time and started moving rapidly dodging the rain of explosions.
'That almost caught me off guard I may add this to my arsenal' Lucius thought smirking at this do to not really having large area attacks.
Picking the blades up mid dodge 'not even a scratch I need a professional to inspect these, using his magic to make them float behind him dashing to the rouge who tried blowing him into the afterlife a a few seconds ago.
The bandit didn't get to retreat and his throat sliced, trying to stop the blood only to fall dead.
The leader was now panicking 'this kid killed half of us in minutes who is this monster' fear had taken over by now "We may need to retreat" he said his pride wounded but he would live to see another day 'Damm you boy I will kill you for this'.
"Over there!!" he heard turning around to see the knights had now caught up with swords drawn. The leader had on last thought before he more than likely died 'so this what my mother meant when she said my past will catch up with me. "Fight to you last breath we have been oppressed by this kingdom to long are going to simply lay down or will fight for what you believe in!!?"
The remaining rouges charged at the knights who intern did the same it only took a minute and the rouges were dead.
"Young master that was reckless what were you thinking your 13 years old for heavens sake!!!!!?" Luke asked worried they would have lost a possible heir to the Bayern family.
"I am fine there were cocky and paid the price for it". Lucius said neutrally. "Well don't do that again or I might get a heart attack" Luke said.
"Let's get these goods to to their destination and return home" Lucius said now thinking about his new blades he put in his coat pockets.
