Enforcers 25 The Village Of Lillies...

The carriage came to a stop allowing the six passengers out. "Finally..." Ken said letting out a sigh as she stretched slightly. "I'll be honest that carriage was beginning to get on my nerves..." The small girl stated.

"I'm just glad I'm not cramped between you two bastards..." Hero stated as he glared at Ken, and Kitsune who both gave him a simple innocent smile. "You guys are mean..." He said rolling his eyes. "Anyways where is the Villiage we have to protect? All I see is a shitty wooden- Oh... Oh no..." Hero said slowly as he put it together.

"This... This is the Villiage we have to protect..." Kitsune said slightly mortified as his eyes widened. "This place is a dump!" He shouted out in horror as he almost fell back.

Indeed it was... The Village in front of the group was a broken, and decaying wooden wall. Ice coated over it causing it to be beyond frail. The wall was only seven feet tall and was so frail a piece broke off when Ken lightly ran her hand over it... Up above the wall, a few houses could be seen. None of them were taller than ten feet... The entire village was around the size of a fairly large football stadium so it wasn't even that big...

Around the village was absolutely nothing... It was just ice that stretched on for miles, and miles... Nothing but this Villiage for as far as the eye could see... It instantly raised a few red flags...

"This is our home..." The carriage drive announced. He patted the mechanical engine that dragged the carriage here. The mechanical engine was an old piece of technology with wires and sparks coming off of it. It looked like it would quit working at any second. Four robotic legs came out of it which was what allowed it to love and carry the carriage here in the first place. "It's nothing special but it's our home..." The man admitted as he gave a shrug.

He reached out pulling on a long wooden rope. There was a snapping sound as the rope broke off. The man stood there for a moment before letting out an embarrassed laugh as he walked up to the gate pushing it open by hand. The door broke off falling down towards the ice.

"I hate you so much, Ken..." Kitsune stated.

"What did I do!"

"You picked this mission! What are we even supposed to be doing?" The Noble muttered out?

"Weren't you listening... The village is under attack by some Bestia Macht. They apparently can't protect themselves and need our help." Ken said shrugging. "I mean it is just twelve which are pretty weak so we should be able to finish this mission in like... Five minutes?"

"Right this way brave Enforcers." The man who had driven the carriage stated as he waved them inside. Right before one of them could enter though he held his hand up. "One more thing. Our Villiage has sworn off technology..." The man stated. "You must leave any of it outside next to our engine. Technology is not allowed inside."

"What!" Kitsune said. "You want us to just get rid of our technology? We're only gonna be here for like a day?" He stated.

"I'm sorry but it's the rules." The man said nodding his head towards the carriage. "Otherwise I would take my engine in with me."

"Just listen to him," Jackson said letting out a sigh. "The reports said it was just about ten or so Baron level Bestia Macht. Every single one of you should be able to handle them. North also comes from a Villiage so he probably already has experience fighting them."

"That's right but..." Irene went silent as she gave a shrug. "Well our Villiage didn't have technology either but it wasn't because we didn't allow it. We just didn't have any. I don't know any village that would just put a ban on it?"

"It is a rule, Father Darvin created..." The man said giving a slight bow. "Now please put away all your things..."

Everyone took what little they had on them placing it in the carriage. Kitsune gave a sigh as he placed his phone on the carriage. "I hope my phone doesn't break being left out in this frozen wasteland."

"Jokes on you guys!" Hero said letting out a laugh. "I have nothing!" He announced. "Just the clothes on my back, like my green sweat pants, and green tracksuit jacket!" He stated proudly.

"That was oddly specific."

"Just wanted everyone to know!"

"Can we just get into the village already?" Ken questioned as she shivered. "It's freezing out here..."

"If you have given up everything then please come right this way..." The man stated. He turned finally leading them into the village.

The inside was just what they expected... Old buildings that looked as if they were falling apart. It was pitch black since no torches were up. Most of the houses were covered in a thick layer of ice. There was only about 50 to maybe a 100 buildings. All of them were still in poor shape though...

In fact, only one building stood out. A building at the very back of the village. Unlike all the other ones this building looked almost completely intake. This one was made out of stone rather than wood. It took the gang a few seconds to realize that this building was a church?

"Here we are..." The man stated holding his arms out. "My home. Now please come... Father Darvin will want to speak to you personally... He is the man who summoned you all here after all..."

"Where are your hunters?" Irene questioned as she looked around. "And your gate guards?"

"Oh? We don't have any. Not any more at least..."

Irene's head instantly shot to the man as she stared at him. "What? You don't have any? Then who protected you from the Bestia Macht until now? And how have you guys been eating? From the looks of this place I doubt you could just buy food from anywhere else. Plus there isn't anywhere close? It was a three-day journey just for us to get here."

"I see where your concerns are coming from but please..." The man said holding his hand up. "I'm sure Father Darvin can explain. As for not having Guards or hunters. We never had a need for them really. The ones we did have are... Gone. We are followers of the Bright. We do not believe in using our Attribute or technology. So we never had a need to fight..."

"The Bright?" Hero said slightly confused.

"My Grandpa told me about these kinds of people," Jackson whispered as he placed a hand on Hero's shoulder. "He said back in his day these people used to go by a name called the Amish? Apparently, they used to be very different then they are now. Before they mostly kept to themselves but according to gramps they ended up changing into Followers of the Bright, and with that their ideals and goals changed... I had no idea that these were the people who gave out the mission..."

"Is it bad?" Hero questioned as he whispered to his Vice-Captain.

"Not necessarily..." Jackson whispered back. "Just because they have a different lifestyle than us doesn't mean they instantly bad but..."

"But..."

"Well it's just the Bright doesn't have. Father who leads everything... Stay close but don't arouse suspicion... Don't tell the other either though? It could cause them to panic which could be bad for us. No matter what we need to keep a calm-"

"What are you guys whispering about?" Kitsune said now whispering with them.

"Ahh!" Hero, and Jackson both screamed as they jumped up losing their calm.

They both turned to find the entire group was looking at them. "What?" Jackson asked.

"You guys literally stood there for like five minutes whispering to each other..." Irene said with a deadpan stare.

"Nah." Hero said shrugging. "You guys are crazy."

"Damn it, Hero, I said play it cool..." Jackson hissed out.

"I'm always cool..."

The group all let out a sigh as they turned back to the man who continued leading them to the Father. "Wait," Irene said getting back to her conversation. "If you never had Guards, how did you survive from the Bestia Macht attacks? And if you never had hunters how did you guys get food?"

"Well, we had other ways of getting food other than hunting and eating the Bestia Macht. We grow vegetables!" The man said.

"In the freezing cold?" Kitsune said raising an eyebrow. "It's hard to grow vegetables in the nice warm cites but you expect us to believe you grew them out here in a frozen wasteland."

"It is the truth." The man stated nodding his head.

"Okay..." Irene said in a skeptical tone. "Than how did you guys survive the Bestia Macht attacks?"

"Simple." The man said shrugging. "They were never a problem for us. We were never attacked by one before. At first my village beloved they were just myths. We didn't see our first one until twelve years ago." The man stated. "It wasn't until about a month ago that they started to frequently attack us. Thankfully we managed to find out until-"

A loud rang echoed throughout the village.

"Oh dear... It seems the Bestia Macht are back."

"Sweet," Jackson said smiling slightly. "That means we can kill them and get this over with." He stated. "If it's just a few Baron level this should be a piece of cake. What direction do they usually attack from."

"The North sir... But the thing is-"

"Come on guys!" Jackson said walking towards the north of the city. "North create us an ice ramp so we can get over this fence." Irene waved her hand out as a wave of ice fired out. The six Enforcers began to March up it. "Now lets end this quick so we can get back before Katrina realizes me took us on "

Jackson stopped as his smile faded. All of the kid's eyes widened in shock as they all did a double-take.

Hero let out a nervous laugh for a second as his dace grew slightly pale. "So... only a couple..." He trailed off.

They all stared at the army of Bestia Machts that marched towards the building. There wasn't simply twelve Baron level Bestia Macht.

There were twelve hundred Bestia Machts...
