Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: This is a Story, and your Reality. Some Wisdom for your Grave
“You trash!” General Buckle stood to his feet again, “Are you trying to lecture his majesty?”

King Ash raised a hand to stop general Buckle and the general backed off.

King Ash eased a bit on his frown, “No! I have not heard of any stories of Odysseus and The City of Troy. Do you want to enlighten me?”

Chiron nodded, “This humble one would not mind teaching an ignorant king like yourself some wisdom for your grave.”

*WHIP!* WHIP!!*

The guard behind Chiron whipped him, tearing his back with more slashes.

“Hmmm!!!” Chiron groaned in pain.

“Really, a captured prince wants to enlighten me! Hahahaha!!!” King Ash laughed.

As he did, so did the crowd.

“You know what? I am suddenly interested in this lesson you want to teach.”

Chiron smiled. As he did, he started the story.

Odysseus was a man that was touched by the goddess of wisdom herself. In fact, he was so loved that many believed that he was her own-born son. But how couldn’t she love him?

After all, there was not a time he disappointed her with the gift of wisdom she blessed him with. One such time when he displayed great wisdom was when he came across The Great City of Troy. Its walls were so mighty that big houses were built on them. Its stones were so high that many sighed at the first sight of them.

It is said that even the gods respected its very walls.

Because of an oath, Odysseus and other great heroes of his time, men of great strength, power and abilities so incredible that some had the ability to pull down the will of the king of the gods from heaven were tasked with bringing down this great city.

But many years passed and this city would not fall. In fact, not even a stone on its mighty walls was dented.

No matter how hard they tried. No matter how great the battles. Even when they used ladders made from the great tree of unbeatable strength, it was still of no use.

Meanwhile, all the soldiers of troy had to do was to shoot down on the invaders every time they tried.

As the days turned to months and the months to years, many fell. Brothers buried brothers, and fathers their sons. An army greater than fifteen thousand had become but a few hundred.

Even the great heroes had perished by the hands of the people of Troy.

All except him.

One night as he slept facing the ocean to receive its breeze, Odysseus had a dream. It was one like the others were he got the opportunity to rest on the thighs of his goddess mother and receive her warmth.

There, he made his complaint about the state of the war, and how his brothers dropped like moths to the flame that was the mighty walls.

Why do you think with your muscles? Or have you forgotten that it is the right of your head? Are you no longer my touched son?

These were the questions the beautiful and enlightening goddess Athena asked him.

With those questions swirling in his mind, Odysseus woke up to the sight of the ocean. He could not help but sigh at the sight of the ships by its shores that had never left since the time they came many years ago.

Just then, as his eyes longed to see the day those ships would sail once more to his longing home, an idea suddenly birthed in his head.

All the while, he had been trying to bring a city to its knees from the outside. What about trying from the inside?

And so he had his men and brothers break their boats and ships and craft it into a big giant horse which was to be set as a peace offering before the gates of the city.

The citizens of the city saw this as a sign of surrendering and they celebrated as they pulled this giant horse through their impenetrable walls into the very heart of the city…

Unknown to king Ash, the same story Chiron was telling them, was playing itself right within his own kingdom. Underneath the Bear mother, just outside the castle opened up, and the first person dropped from it.

It was captain Timi. As he did, he looked around.

Then he waved his hand for the others behind him to follow.

Dylan and Deamon also dropped from underneath the Bear mother.

Just ahead of them were some people still praying to the statue of the Bear mother.

They were only two guards to watch the Bear mother. After all, it was just an enormous shinning statue.

Dylan handled one, while Deamon the other. All of this was done silently at the command of captain Timi.

With a hand to their mouths, they sliced open the throats of the soldiers.

Killing them and dumping their bodies under the Bear mother.

Dylan and Deamon then changed into their clothes and walked towards the palace doors.

Naturally, the guards standing by the door did not know that these were invaders.

When they got close enough, they waved their hands, sending totems of little birds to the necks of these unsuspecting guards.

Thereby killing them. The herbs Chiron had fed them had increased their cultivation, and now, they were using it all to their advantage.

After which, they immediately hid their bodies.

It was a festive period even most of the guards had been infected with the celebration fever and relaxed their nerves.

Therefore slacking at their duties.

After the two that were killed, Dylan signalled to the others and one by one, and they sneaked to the palace doors.

Two others changed into the clothes of the guards that had been killed, and in this manner, they entered the Palace.

This was a silent attack.

There was no rushing.

One at a time, they killed the guards as they met them and replaced them.

Without those in the banquet knowing, the guards in the palace had been completely slaughtered…
