Chapter 134 The Saber Twins; Max And Maggie
"Maintain the evacuation efforts!"
"Stop all the Titans that are trying to break off to the evacuation point!"
"Keep the defensive perimeter steady!"
"We shall protect our village with our lives!"
Unlike the Tribe Chief of most tribes in the desert, the tribe chief of the Hero tribe was still a middle-aged warrior in his prime.
Elmort Dale was the tribe head of the Hero tribe. He was a bulky Pugilist with white hair, massive chest, and he wielded a war Axe as his weapon of choice.
He led the offensive to defend his village against the Clown Society.
Thud! Thud!
The sounds of the Titans moving through the village reverberated as the ground kept on shaking like an earthquake was about to swallow the village.
After their secret was discovered by the Vanguard Squad, the Clown Society no longer cared much about staying hidden. They became more open as they sent squads of psychopaths to accompany and lead the Titan raids.
A squad of psychopaths also led this Titan raid.
Since the Hero tribe was the strongest of the village tribes, the 2 leaders of the operation to wipe off the village tribes came personally to wipe off this village.
They were twins, Max and Maggie, 2 notorious Red Masters of the Clown Society. Both were Elementalists, whereas one of them was an Earth Elementalist, the other was a Fire Elementalist and their battle synergy was off the charts.
They led the offensive against the Hero tribe that was proving successful so far. Both of them stood on the shoulders of a Warrior Titan that was controlled by one of theirs, and from there, they controlled the battle.
2 other Warrior Titans followed their lead as they brainlessly slaughtered the warriors of the Hero tribe that tried to oppose their access to the evacuating civilians, like all other tribes, the children and women evacuated first.
Every man that could hold a sword all joined the battle.
"8-man Pugilist Combo- 12 Tigram Hits!"
"Stay on me!"
"Let the Elementalists and Summoners support!"
After being stopped numerous times already, one of the Warrior Titans finally gathered momentum and started charging towards the civilians again.
Elmort Dale was prepared as he rallied his warriors behind him.
With his massive War Axe, he stood at the front of the Pugilist Combo formation as he roared loudly before erupting and jumping at the beast.
The Titan tried to block its head but he was faster.
Boom!
The War Axe hit as the aggressive Pugilist energy cut its hand off. The Warrior Titan attacked with his free hand but as a veteran, Elmort Dale expected it as he focused his Pugilist energy on his leg and sprinted across the arm of the Titan.
As soon as the hand was cut off, all the other 7 Pugilists executing the combo with him erupted as they attacked the massive Titan from its blind spots.
The Elementalists spammed AOE attacks while the Summoners sent their beasts to tie the Titan down, this time, Elmort aimed to kill this Titan.
Max and Maggie were in the process of rescuing the Warrior Titan when another Warrior Titan came running towards this territory from afar.
They stopped to look at him, this was when the Blue Master who had been controlling this Warrior Titan told them what happened in the previous village.
As soon as they heard the name 'the Sexy Chocolate' and 'the Vanguard Squad', they raised their guard up as they decided to accelerate things.
The achievements of the Vanguard Squads left them wary. A squad that survived Black Master Einstein's wrath was not something that they wanted to mess with.
They turned to look at the battlefield between the Warrior Titans and the tribe warriors, the Titan was already down after its crystal was shattered with the tribe chief's Axe but not after they suffered 5 casualties.
The Warrior Titans were just that strong.
At other parts of the village, a slaughter was on as the Titans feasted on the villagers. Some civilians already evacuated but there was still a lot more.
Max, the male of the twins with red hair gave new orders. "We're accelerating our job here, let's enter the battle and end this façade".
Like they said, they meant it, they joined the battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the twin Red Masters joined with the new Warrior Titan, the slaughter accelerated as a blood river was left in their wake.
With blood all over his body, Elmort Dale fought with his warriors bravely.
Suddenly, he heard a voice, a voice that he least wanted to hear right now.
"Father, I want to help!"
The 18-year-old son of Elmort Dale, Arthur Dale was responsible for the evacuation efforts but as soon as his mother was evacuated, he returned to support his father. He hated to be at the rear while others fought the battle for him.
At the rear, he already watched as his friends fought and died. He watched as his father's friends that he was close with also died, all these ignited his anger and he could not bear to stay at the rear any longer.
"I told you to hold the rear!" Elmort roared at his son angrily.
"We'll all die, we've already rescued those that we can". Arthur roared back at his father. "You said every man should fight, I am a man!"
"I will fight and die with my family!"
With his one-handed sword, Arthur's Pugilist energy flared powerfully as he charged into this battlefield like a meteorite, rapidly slaughtering Titans.
He ignored his father and did as he willed.
As a Grade D Pugilist already like his father, he was powerful.
As soon as they saw him, morale rose among the village's warriors.
"The Blade is here!"
"Blade is here!"
Elmort was renowned in battle as the Axe, while his son, the future tribe chief of the Hero tribe already built a name for himself in battle as Blade.
Blade sliced his way in, killing 2 Titans in the process as he stood beside his father who already grew tired of trying to send his son away.
In the end, Elmort Dale got resigned to his fate.
"Let us die together then". He led his charge to the 2 Red Masters.
Together on top the Warrior Titan that carried them, Max and Maggie both wrath destruction on their enemies as they slaughtered them.
"Elementalist Ability: Fiery Spears!"
"Elementalist Ability: Earth Bullets!"
"Max and Maggie Specialty: Flowing Lava!"
Bam! Bam!
Destruction followed them as they rode this Warrior Titan.
Despite trying their best, neither Axe nor Blade could do much as by the second, their companions became lesser and lesser. One at a time, the 2 twin Red Masters picked them off like a fisherman picking his prey.
By now, the lucky among the civilians already escaped as the rest were cut off by the Titans who already started feasting on their flesh.
After a battle that lasted 4 hours, Hero tribe was about to fall.
"Ahhh…" Blade roared as he kept on slashing with his sword.
Boom!
A stomp from the massive Titan destabilized them as the next moment, the massive Warrior Titan bent down and picked up the tribe chief.
The Titan squeezed his hand in a bid to crush the warrior as Axe looked at his son one last time. "Remember the prophecy…"
Before the Titan could squeeze, the air shifted rapidly.
Whoosh!
A familiar Void Raven flew through the air rapidly before unleashing its Iron Feathers, Bran also used his Void Spears ability as they tore the hand of the Titan.
As Axe fell, another Pugilist, a strange one arrived as he jumped into the air. Like an acrobat, Captain Aegon smoothly rescued the tribe chief.
He turned to the surviving warriors. "Reinforcements are here".
From the back as the warriors of the Vanguard Squad charged into the battlefield, Legolas looked at the 2 Elementalists as his eyes narrowed.
"Max and Maggie!"
