Luzia Senki: Notes of the Luzian War

{1.4} Attacks of bandits, part 1

Not too far from Claudia Castle there is a village on the outskirts of Agress Forest Village called Moose Village.

The village has two hundred population, the residents here the majority of the work is wood craftsmen from the Agress Forest tree and their handicraft production is usually agricultural tools, the majority of the work is made from wood, they sometimes also sell it in the center of the small town of Carran.

And also because Moose Village was on the outskirts of the Forest, this village since the disappearance of the Viscount became a territory that was subsumed by the attacks of the bandits based in the Agress Forest.

Thank you to the fifty Knights who are here, for their existence, although always in the battle with the wave of attacks from the Bandits of Moose Village did not fall to the bandits and until now the villagers are still not a victim of death although of course there remains victims injured.

One hundred and fifty Knights were divided into three and scattered in three regions and each region was led by the squad leader, one of the leaders was Luke Archis.

Luke is a Knight who has high Knight idealism, for that reason Sir Erwin gave him the responsibility to lead the Knight squad in Moose Village.

Not only was his thinking idealistic but his body was also very ideal and was really very suitable for a Knight, his pitch-black hair was laid out very neatly by him, too, the sexy oblong face made her not only look like a gallant and brave Knight but also a handsome Knight.

"Are you on patrol in the afternoon like this, Mr Luke? though the bandits attacked only once every two days while they had attacked us this morning despite failing. " Suddenly a grandmother asked Luke who was walking in the countryside.

"Ah, it turns out you're Cate's grandmother. That's because we don't know when the damn bandits are attacking again even though we've been pushed back, it seems like they don't have the guts to attack us after that back into the forest again.

"Haha, yes. You're very diligent Luke, if I were younger I might want to marry you soon. "

"That's impossible, Grandma, you're so pretty that even I feel like you're too tall for me"

"Ah, y-you're good at globalizing but that's not good enough for me you know." With her old face Cate's grandmother couldn't hide her embarrassment.

Luke who saw it was happy to be able to see the happiness of others, which is why he became a Knight was to protect the happiness of others in this cruel world.

"Looks like you'd love to dig into my wife huh, Mr. Luke. But it won't do me any good because my wife loves me only, won't it, my dear Cate? ahaha! " suddenly a man spoke to Luke from behind, and Luke immediately turned his gaze to the man who was speaking.

"Duh, my husband you'd better not talk about that outside the house. " Again Grandma Cate with her old face looks very embarrassed because of her husband's speech.

"Humph what the hell, we've smelled old-fashioned land for what such a shame, right, master Luke? "

"Hahaha you are absolutely right, Kek Wiz, you are indeed a very compatible couple to the point of making me very envious of you. "

*kling kling!

"The bandits attacked from the east and south! the bandits attacked from the east and south! "

While the three of them were talking and joking with each other, suddenly the sound of alarm bells was also accompanied by the sound of a warning shout from one of the supervisory soldiers in the watchtower.

The three of them who heard that immediately panicked because they did not expect the attack to happen, even Grandpa Wiz tried to protect his wife by hugging her.

"What's!? shouldn't there have been an attack today but why!?" shouted out in Luke's confusion, but even so Luke immediately tried to pull his sword from his sword sheath.

"Get down! "

Luke heard the battle cry and saw the bandits running towards the Village from the Agress Forest to attack the Village of course.

"Quick get yourself and your wife out of here!"

"I understand Master Luke, but what about you!?"

"Just care about yourself! I'll keep them here."

"But..."

"I said go! "

But when Wiz's grandfather just wanted to escape, suddenly an arrow hit his wife's neck, Cate. Instantly Cate's grandmother who was hit by an arrow was immediately sprawled on the ground with blood that began to flow a lot from her neck.

"Cate!? no!" shouts Grandpa Wiz who is very panicked to see his wife.

Wiz and Luke try to save by covering the source of the blood with his hands but all that was a waste, Cate's grandmother who had previously joked happily with them finally breathed her last.

Just as they could sit quietly by Cate's grandmother's side and endure the grief, Luke saw the bandit cavalry begin to approach them.

"You better get out of here, cake, I'll hold them and not have to worry about your wife's body because I'm gonna take care of her" Luke told the wiz grandfather who was nearby.

Despite Grandpa Wiz's seemingly unwilling departure from his wife's side, he remained silent sitting next to his wife's corpse still on the ground.

"If I had taken him sooner maybe he wouldn't have.... "

"IF YOU FEEL RESPONSIBLE THEN RUN AWAY AND BRING ME REINFORCEMENTS, DOES YOUR WIFE WANT TO SEE YOU USELESS LIKE THIS!?"

Luke's shout finally awakened Grandpa Wiz a little, he slowly got up and moved away from the battlefield in a sustained manner and gradually increased his speed.

"All right, now all you have to do is hold them alone and wait for my men to come here."

With confidence and feeling to kill the increasingly turbulent bandits in his mind he finally got back on his feet and positioned his body into the stance of the horses, both of his hands were also holding the sword hilt firmly.

No matter if the enemy's cavalry were ready to hit him he stood still in his position and there was no thought of escaping even once.
