Chapter 298 - Siege of Beasts

The siege in the city of Texcoco began to get complicated because the bodies started to accumulate in the wall so that the bears could climb and begin to be a problem for the defenders.

General Anatole in charge of the defense of the city ordered to use hot oil in the areas where many bodies were being accumulated so that the beasts were burned and will avoid climbing through those areas.

He also ordered the use of spears smeared with rattlesnake venom so that bears that were injured lose their ability to fight, and thus efforts could be used in other areas.

At the north gate of the city, the soldiers were having trouble eliminating the bears, which seemed to have no end.

"Angelo asks General Anatole for reinforcements and more weapons in just a few minutes these damn bears are close to being able to overcome the walls."

Angelo listened to the centurion Lucas and ran off the wall while he could see how some of his companions were pulled down the walls as the bears pulled the spears.

The poor soldiers who fell from the wall were immediately attacked by bears who tore their limbs with extreme violence leaving only blood and some guts.

As they were devoured without even having the opportunity to defend themselves or shout, Angelo woke up from his trance after seeing the grotesque scene, under the stairs quickly, and headed to the government palace to give the news.

General Anatole was worried about news related to the west wall, but before he could send the reinforcements, a young man entered the office and gave a Roman greeting.

"General Anatole, I am the assistant Angelo, and I have news of the centurion Lucas, we need reinforcements at the north gate.

The bears are accumulating bodies, and it will be a matter of time before they can overcome the walls. "

Anatole held his nose. "Very well Angelo sees the barracks and informs the centurion Renzo that he takes his century to reinforce the centurion Lucas and when he leaves he asks that the Nahual messenger enter."

Angelo nodded and left the room, Anatole saw how the young man went the place, and soon a Nahual messenger came in. "Take the message that we need urgent reinforcements from the quartz palace.

Otherwise, we will have to evacuate people to the bridge, now go out and try to come back with reinforcements. "

The Nahual messenger left the government palace of the city of Texcoco and became a bird to reach the quartz palace.

On the way, he could see the real chaos of the battle, not only in the city of Texcoco but also in the quartz palace where the hordes of bears were being killed by the gods.

The messenger was very careful to go to the quartz palace because he did not want to end up being killed by mistake, after flying he landed in the palace courtyard where he could see Empress Hellena and Princess Felix.

Hellena, who was talking to her daughter, could see how a messenger Nahual was approaching her "Empress and princess I come from the city of Texcoco, General Anatole requires your help or the city could fall."

Artemis, who was close, smiled and approached Hellena, "What do you say, daughter, you want to accompany your stepmother while we kill some garbage.

None of the men are waiting for us to join the fight, but instead of interrupting their competition, we can do a show for us. "

Hellena smiled. "I think it’s a good idea, mom; I need to release my anger a little what Flavio told us just makes me angry.

You know that when I was alone, how much I suffered..."

Artemis hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Don’t think about the past, Hellena, you have to worry about the present, and I didn’t tell you.

Flavio is a very lucky and extremely focused God, even after having spent so much time for the return without also complaining.

Now we are going to kill some vermin before they can harm mortals. "

Hellena and Felix accompanied Artemis, but before they could leave, they met Amanda and Miyuki, who asked to join their hunt.

All the women left the Imperial palace and ran across the bridge to reach the city of Texcoco at full speed.

The soldiers were fighting hard because the first bears had already reached the walls; the sabers could only do them some damage, but in reality, what could kill them without difficulty were the muskets.

Lucas, who was fighting very hard until he was wounded in the arm by one of the bears, which had buried his fingernails in his arm when he had him on the ground, Lucas took out his Flintlock pistol and shot the bear’s eye.

This caused the bear to be enraged, but couldn’t take revenge because a large arrow pierced him, leaving the bear with a large hole in the middle of its head that ran up its tail.

Lucas, using all the possible force he had, managed to push the bear’s corpse to the side and could look out to see that the goddesses had come to help them in their fight against this plague of white bears.

Artemis reloaded his bow again and fired again at other bears, "You are cursed creatures are lucky to be assimilated by my bow since their souls will be excellent pets for my collection.

It is also seen that his fur will be too comfortable to create some beautiful and warm baby clothes.

I can’t wait to see the son in my womb. I asked me if he will be like me or be like his father more focused on arts. "

Miyuki, who had a smile on his face while using his Katana to kill bears, looked at Artemis for a moment before continuing with his bear murder. "It can vary; for example, Amanda inherited my dedication while also inheriting my father’s desire to fight.

But you can be sure that whatever Apollo will be responsible for, I have to admit that Flavio was a good influence. "

Amanda, who was using the elements to kill everything she could blush at her mother’s flattery at her aunt.

Hellena could see Amanda’s funny face, and this caused a small laugh as she pulled her eyes to a white use. "I have to match Artemis this fur will be perfect for making baby clothes or making beautiful coats.

Only you have to avoid damaging the skin, so the fastest way to kill them is to bury your hands in your eyes and turn your brains into water.

I plan to kill the necessaries so that everyone has a beautiful coat especially Flavio "

After this, Hellena cleaned her forehead, leaving blood on her face as she continued to put her hands in the eyes of the bears to kill them.
