Chapter 283: Rescue 2

James pov contd

At least with their reaction, now we were sure that we were at the right place. Marianne, and Cassius were somewhere with them.

I have already killed 3 and injured 6 of them badly, yet the man who had started the fight was not relenting. 

"Look around, you are losing the battle. And my comrades will be here soon. It would be better that you accept defeat.`` I told the stubborn man again.

But he just increased the pace of his attacks and I sighed. I didn't want to kill, but I had to. People think knights love blood, they enjoy the sense of killing but it was far from the truth.

I always wished to get things done with some injury or better without battle. But these stubborn people did not listen.

I took my last dagger out and hit the man who was jumping the wall, to join the fight. I aimed for the hand this time to avoid further killing.

Roselia was also using the sword, so I threw a spear towards her.

"Here, comrade" I shouted and threw the spear towards her as she was having trouble using a sword against the two men.

The man fighting with me tried to take the benefit of my lack of concentration, and attacked again, when I squatted down and his spear just grazed my hand.

This was going to be a long battle. I beck flipped trying to get another spear when we heard the voices of footsteps from both sides.

My comrades have come but so have he. Many were climbing the wall down from the other side and the 5 knights came with me.

"Just 5!" he said in a mocking tone as i held another spear from the ground, "we are more than 5000 knight, leave the area if you want to live." he said with a smirk, 

"Why do you want to keep my family with you? Free them, I will return silently forgetting whatever happened there, I will also forget that you tried to kill the m knights of the empire.`` I started and he chuckled.

"It is their mistake to dwell deeper than necessary. They could have gone, but no, they decided to stay and now I'm just fulfilling their wish" said the man shaking his head and his grip on the spear tightened and so did mine.

U attacked towards his face this time when he turned behind and used his spear to get it stuck from mine and the force used was enough to block the attack, our spear was blocked and we both took two steps back to get the space.

He changed his technique to middle guard. He holds the staff with the rear hand close to the hips, and with the front hand, holds the tip up and pointing towards my face. He ensures that he can see over the tip of his staff. But i used mine to clink with it and then turned to get advantage over opponent.

I could see that he was storing and the fight was not going anywhere. Fighting with a spear was not like fighting with swords or daggers. They have long wood and are heavy.

It was all the use of hip strength, if hands were only used then there was a high chance that we would lose the balance and it needed long and strong thrust rather than small and many attacks as we do in swords

He turned again and bent, this time his aim was my legs and I moved my spear to hold in front of me to defend any attack that  would be in my lower section.

The other knights have also joined the battle and Roselia finally got rid of one of the opponents.

"Comrade, try to go close to the wall and start attacking the one who was still climbing down, they would not be able to defend themselves" I ordered Steve as he moved to support me.

He nodded and walked towards the wall while the man fighting with me gritted his teeth.

"So, you are going to attack the one who could not defend themselves? And here people think that knights are righteous" he spat in anger.

"Winning is the last thing needed in a battle, it is not something to be glorious about, because in the end your hands are smeared with the blood of many. I did not understand how killing can be righteous. And I have given you many chances to end it. I am asking again, do you want to let go.'' I asked, as the man was gritting his teeth in anger.

But instead of replying, he took out a dagger and threw it on Roselia, one of the least expected people.

"Roselia.." I shaved and she turned to look at me. She was saved from the dagger but the man she was fighting with attacked her arm and it was badly hurt.

"Damn '' I ran towards her and attacked the man who was going to attack her head this time.

"Are you okay?" I asked her as I covered her to keep her secured. Blood was oozing from her hand like walter.

"I am fine, I apologise for not being sharp enough."

"It's fine, you would not be able to handle a spear now. Go and rest on the other side, you are not safe here." i said covering her so that she can walk but she shook her head.

"I am fine brother, I need to be here to support you." she added as she took out her daggers and started throwing on the targets."

It took me some time to get rid of the man but when I looked back 3 of my comrades were also badly injured by the head whom I left behind.

I gritted my teeth as I ran towards him again, he surely needed to die for us to win the battle. 

"I had enough of you" I shouted and he smirked.

"So do i"
