The Great War of Rhodesia

Epilogue Second Arc Part 1

Lucia entered the battlefield without being scratched in the slightest. Because even though the opposing soldier tried to take him down, the masked, cloaked figure that always overshadowed him would not allow a single attack to hit Lucia's body.

Along the way his horse was heading towards the Champions, several cloaked figures appeared and disappeared to fend off the magic bullets, arrows, and also slashed at all the soldiers who were trying to block and even get close.

This continued to happen until he arrived and faced the Champions.

And although several Champions attacked Lucia simultaneously with their Mystical Weapons, but several cloaked figures had appeared and confronted each of the Champions.

Which caused Lucia to be able to freely swing her sword at one of the Champions who was closest to her. No matter the defense.

Since everyone was about to attack him from behind, the cloaked figure would appear to fend off and counterattack before then disappearing again.

And so, it gave Jean, Versica, and his two friends the opportunity to press and take down the Champions.

.

Soon they managed to defeat the rest of the existing Champions. Right at the moment when the witches managed to undo the Hui City Protector Magic.

Almost immediately after, Biggs shouted from behind. And five Destruction Carts fired magic-guided cannons at the city walls almost simultaneously.

Explosions with thunderous sounds rang out throughout the entire Damcyan region. And even the vibrations were able to shake every side of the city wall.

And not waiting until the dust and smoke of the explosion completely disappeared, Lucia immediately spurred her horse to lead the troops storming in through a large crack that was once the city gate.

While at Tyrion's residence in the city center, it appeared that the fat man was walking back and forth in his study. His face was visibly riled up after hearing the resounding sound of explosions earlier.

"The sound of the explosion is definitely not a good sign" he told himself.

Soon Xiggaz appeared in the workspace.

"How, Xig? Is that the sound of the city gate explosion?" Tyrion asked his worries.

"Yes, Sir. Now the Rhapsodians are on their way here" Xiggaz replied. "According to the news from our spies, the Champions were defeated, and the Ikhties failed to do their job" he added.

"Ikhties failed? Even with so much magic equipment he was wearing?" Tyrion looked emotional and in disbelief.

"Toxo and Ikhties were defeated by White Lightning. And it looks like Toxo didn't make it." Xiggaz returned to report.

"Kc... Yllgarian the old one." Tyrion hissed furiously.

"Now what, sir? We don't have many soldiers standing guard inside the city." Xiggaz started to look troubled. He began to worry about the situation that was happening now.

"It's time we get out of here, Xig," Tyrion replied as he walked out of his study. "Prepare everything," he continued by giving orders.

"Good, Sir."

.

The two of them used the Space and Time Arcane stone to escape from the place.

A faint purple-colored circle appeared once the transfer crystal was broken. After jumping into the circle, Tyrion and Xiggaz arrive at a field.

"Eh, where is this?" It seemed that Tyrion did not expect to be in that place.

"It looks like we're in the northern suburbs of Hui City" said Xiggaz, who apparently recognized some of the area.

"Isn't our destination Zasiba City in the Cilum region?" Tyrion looked confused.

"It seems like they set up Magic Formations around the city to mess up the Soul Stream of the Arcane Crystal." Xiggaz.

"Damn it!" Tyrion groaned furiously while stepping his feet violently onto the ground. "Do you know where we can get a ship heading north, Xig?" he asked later, although still visible emotions.

"If I don't remember wrongly, from this place to the north there is a small pier commonly used by fishermen. Maybe we can get a ship in that place" Xiggaz said.

"Is the place safe from the people of the Dead Land?" Tyrion asked.

Tyrion was seen breathing before deciding. "Well then. Let's get there, "he ordered then.

.

Tyrion and Xiggaz walked down the path to the northwest. And soon, they both passed a slum camp that was set up just on the edge of the path.

The slum contained quite a number of poor people, most of whom had no jobs and chose to be thieves or robbers.

And some of them were seen standing in the way of Tyrion and Xiggaz.

"Who are they, Xig?" tyrion asked with a glance.

"They are poor people who can't afford taxes to live inside the city walls, sir." Xiggaz.

"Ck, there's just a problem I have to face today." Tyrion shook his head slowly.

"Hey, you guys look like royalty? Are you running away from the people of Rhapsodia?" ask a Morra man who looks shabby and dull.

Tyrion did not answer. He only looked at those people with a look of disdain.

"Give me your money and valuables now, if you want to survive" said another Morra man. Which made Tyrion even more furious to hear it.

"The rats do not know themselves. Don't you guys know who I am? I am Tyrion. Your master!" snarled Tyrion who was already unable to contain his anger.

Xiggaz was beginning to worry. He felt his master was not acting wisely in response to the situation that was going on. "Master, Tyrion." whispered softly asking for Tyrion not to provoke the poor people further.

"You're Tyrion?" asked one of the men who looked quite surprised by the answer he had just heard.

"Really! Now get out of my sight. Before you regret it."

Not heeding Tyrion's warning, the men instead seemed busy themselves talking to each other. Who then ordered one of the young men to preach something to their slum camp.

Seeing the crowd, Xiggaz felt uncomfortable. He felt he was in danger.

But Tyrion himself still did not change his attitude. He still looked haughty looking down at those people. Though more and more people began to approach around him.

"Do you not hear the words..." Unfinished Tyrion spoke, a rock floated down his head. Which almost made him fall.

"You caused my husband and son to die." A Morra woman was seen standing among the slum campers who had now begun to approach the Tyrion.

"Hey, what is this? Wait a minute..." It was seen Tyrion started to panic after seeing the dozens of displeased-looking people walking over to him. "Do you want compensation? Don'tdon't worry. I'll replace it. How much are you asking? How much are you asking?!"

"I ask for your life in exchange for my family's life" the woman replied with great hatred.

"really. All the lives that have been lost can only be replaced with your life" shouted someone from behind the crowd.

"Awhile... You guys don't rush to make a decision. I can guarantee your life after this for generations to come. Isn't that right, Xig?"

Tyrion no longer saw Xiggaz next to him. "the xig? The xiggaz? Where are you Xig? Xiggaz?!"

Xiggaz, who felt that Tyrion was going to take him in danger, sneaked away as the slum campers approached.

These people no longer listened to Tyrion. They were blinded by anger and hatred.

Feeling himself in danger, in a hurry, Tyrion pulled out a gun from under his shirt. "Peach you. Get out of the way, if you want to survive," he said, pointing a gun wildly at those around him.

But Tyrion had not pulled the trigger, a man smashed a wooden stick into Tyrion's shoulder until it fell. Which then triggered the others to join in beating Tyrion's body blindly, venting their anger.

Xiggaz could still hear Tyrion's screams from a distance. But he did not intend to return and save his master. Xiggaz just kept walking away and pretended not to hear it. Not even trying to look back.

-

Then the next day, the soldiers who were scattered throughout the region in search of Tyrion finally managed to find the man. It lay battered lifelessly in the middle of a trail on the northern outskirts of Damcyan.
