The Great War of Rhodesia

34. Champion X Champion I

While behind the line, Lucia, Jean, Aksa, Nata, and Lily were monitoring the course of the battle through binoculars from next to the Iron Train.

"It looks like Miss Versica and her friends, along with the Moon Witch are trying to face the Urbar Champions," Jean said from behind her binoculars.

"The Champions are indeed quite troublesome," Lucia responded. "And six against four, I don't think that's fair enough. Considering they also have their own Mystical Weapons," he added trying to make an assessment.

But before Lucia could continue, Jean suddenly cut. "Sorry, Your Honor. But allow me to help them. At least five against six can minimize the problem of the difference in numbers," he said asking for permission. "By the side I also carry a Mystical Weapon right now."

"Good, Jean. Help them." Lucia answered almost without thinking. Because before his words were cut, he also intended to send Jean to help Versica and the others face the Champions.

"May the gods be with you" continued the young queen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." And immediately Jean jumped on the horse and then spurred him towards the Champions.

Right in front of the city gates, Versica, Karka, and Guanna arrive first to face their former fellow Champions.

"Look around, who showed up?" said the Narva gunman who first recognized Versica. He is Agoros. "Do you want to go back to us, traitor?" ask her with sarcastic tone.

"Shut your mouth Ag. I don't want to hear the scorn of a coward like you" Versica replied.

"What did you say?!" Agoros is seen lifting his trident ready to attack Versica, when then the other 5 Champions come closer.

"Hold, Ag," Urgula said. The previous champion used a Mystical Weapon in the form of claw gloves. "I didn't think I'd meet you in this place under the current conditions. Especially you Guan," he continued.

"really. I'm disappointed in you, Sic," said Pollux, the young man who previously used two Mystical Swords.

"That woman has looked cheap from the first day we met." This time it was Kanya who said. Narva woman who previously used a crescent-shaped magic wand. The magic wand that Lucia had given to Rafa.

"Whatever you say, Kan. I won't take heart the speech of a mistress." Versica was still able to sharply reply any harsh remarks towards her.

"That mouth" said Kanya who then began to chant something with her new magic wand, which this time was filled with intricate carvings and artistic looks.

Seeing this Versica also immediately pulled out his bone sword and put the horses ready to welcome the attack from the witch.

But not yet finished Kanya cast her magic, a lightning bolt suddenly struck from above, targeting the head of the witch without her even knowing it.

Luckily Zygos, the Narva man who used to use the Mystical Weapon in the form of a Shield, deftly cast protective magic just before the lightning magic hit Kanya.

This surprised everyone around the place. And before long Parpera ran over.

"Miss Parpera?" Karka looked surprised to see the Moon Witch approaching. Versica and the other Champions.

"I came to equalize the numbers" answered Parpera who began to put the horses ready for battle.

"Then get ready to die with them, Witch!" shouted a Morra man who stood behind Kanya as he lunged and rained down his Mystical Sword which looked like water was constantly moving towards Parpera.

But Karka who was standing not far from Parpera quickly jumped up and held the water sword with his fire axe. Seen water vapor came out when the two Mystical Weapons clashed.

"There's no need to rush like that, Drag," Karka said with a wild smile, before then pushing the man called Drag backwards. "I don't think your new magic sword has the same power as Aquarius" he added, re-installing his battle horses.

"Do you want to try out this new ability?" ask Drag in an understated tone.

The man named Dragcoz who had faced Aksa and Anna during the attack in the west sea, previously did use the Wind and Water Mystical Sword which is now held by Vossler.

"Yes, I don't think there will be anything as long as you use it" Karka replied with a slight chuckle.

And as if to be a marker, the Dragcoz attack earlier triggered others to also take part in the attack.

.

Urgula, who this time used a large double-edged axe, jumped to attack Guanna, who had been his target since the beginning.

The sound of two iron clashing rang out loud like the sound of the bells of the city tower, as Guanna's hammer struck the great axe of Urgula.

And the impact force of those two Mystical Weapons was truly shaking the ground like an earthquake.

For a moment the soldiers lost their balance. And even some of the buildings behind the city walls that were around the gate, collapsed because of it.

"Why are you doing this, Guan? Why did you betray Urbar?" urgula asked in the middle they pressed each other using their respective weapons.

"I think you and I saw Urbar differently, Urg," Guanna replied before then throwing Urgula back with a powerful swing from her hammer.

Urgula quickly smashed his axe to the ground and made it an anchor to keep it from being thrown any further.

"I do not see Urbar as a different kingdom, or a pride to defend," Guanna said later when Urgula had re-installed his horses.

"I see Urbar as a resident. And if someone makes the population suffer, it means he is the one I will consider as the opponent" added the burly Narva man again.

"Yes, I didn't think we really had a different point of view" replied Urgula who looked a little disappointed. "That means that we are no longer talking," he continued, running forward while swinging his axe wildly.

-

Versica is seen facing Agoros and Pollux simultaneously. Just like Parpera who is now fighting Kanya and Zygos simultaneously.

"Why do you answer their calls, and not mine? What did they offer you that you would fight your own friends like now?" Pollux still has not received the decision taken Versica.

"Are you complaining, Lux?" Agoros interrupts from beside Pollux.

"Shut up, Arg. I need to know why Sica did all this."

"I forgot you were such a person, Lux," said Versica, who finally responded to Pollux. "All right I'll tell you why," continued the whip-wielding woman later.

"Yes, say, Sic. I want to hear it."

"They didn't offer anything to make me fight my friends. Because the first one; you are not my friends" Versica said sharply without making small talk. "You guys weren't even there when I had to desperately save my mother when the Vistralle mercenaries attacked blindly in Meso City" he continued.

"Then the second; they were seeking the welfare of the population and a life of peace. Things that have never been promised by the leader of this southern region before. Because those rulers only care about honor and dignity" the woman closed.

"Do you really mean what you say, Sic?" Pollux is seen not yet able to accept the reason of the Versica.

"Fiuh. it feels relieved to also be able to spill over all the feelings that I have long craved," said Versica later without caring about Pollux's response.

"You satisfied now, Lux? I told you that girl never thought of you." Agoros again replied in a disdainful tone.

"You've hurt my feelings, Sic. Instead, I alone will defeat you in this place," Pollux said as he raised his Mystical Sword which seemed to begin to emit flashes of lightning.

"Not so fast, boy." Suddenly a cry was heard from the direction of the battlefield, and then a similar scythe of ice and a scythe of fire shot towards Pollux before he could get out of position.
