Chapter 6: Expedition
"If you refuse to give up the armor and weapon, we will take it by force." With that, all 5 knights draw their swords and point it at William.
"Yea, I kinda knew you would say that." William threw the firewood at the first knight\'s head and struck his chest with his right kick. The first knight got flown away which hit two others behind him, the only remaining enemies William have to fight are the other two knights. With a quick gab of punches, the remaining knights were defeated without any lethal damages to the knights.
"You guys are greenhorns aren\'t you? Your coordination is all off and rushes to a fight while showing plenty of openings." William said as he pulled out his power sword from his inventory and carried it on his shoulder as he approached the down knights. All 5 knights were out cold which was disappointing as William expected more from them.
\'I guess there is no need for a power sword since they can\'t fight. I expected more from the knights but they are nothing but kids with fancy armors and swords.\' William thought as he was about to put his weapon away when he heard multiple footsteps approaching where he is.
"I want those recruits back right now. Our expedition can\'t be delayed, find those 5 idiots and I don\'t care if they are the sons of nobles!" Sound of command can be heard as dozens of knights with dark armors run around checking each house.
William\'s head pops out from the corner of the inn\'s back, \'Crap, there are more of them.\' With that, William grabs all 5 knights and tosses them into the middle of the street, "Knights are sleeping in the middle of the road!" One shout from \'someone\' causes every knight to turn their attention. This gave an opportunity for William to escape back into the inn and watch a group of knights carry their recruits back from where they came from.
\'Ok, now that is done, I need to see the guild master.\' After making sure all the knights left the area, William re-equip his power armor and headed toward the Adventurer\'s guild. It only took William 5 minutes to arrive at his destination, the main hall went silent as everyone turned their attention to \'Black Knight\'.
"So that is his armor. No wonder he could fight the army of undead all by himself."
"He looks like a walking metal giant, I can\'t see any weakness in that armor."
"Do you think he will create a party? We should join if he does."
Various whispers can be heard as William approaches the receptionist on the front table to request an audience with the guild master.
"I\'m here to meet the guild master, I believe he is expecting me," William said to the receptionist as the lady sent one of the workers to notify the guild master. After waiting for a short few minutes, William is led to the office on the first floor. Inside the office, William saw the guild master but also 3 other people as well. Two were Baron Sternagel and Lionheart of the merchant guild, but the last person is someone new.
The man is around in his late 40\'s, wearing heavy dark armor with silver decoration and a longsword in his waist. William could guess that this man could be the commander of the knights in the town and him being here means trouble.
"William, thank you for coming. We were just talking about the possibility of you joining Sir Dolven\'s expedition, of course, you will be paid handsomely." Said Caulifield while three men watch William in silence with a bit of concern in their faces.
"What is the purpose of this expedition by the way?" William asks the guild master but before Caulifield can answer the question, Sir Dolven responds first.
"We will be meeting with the rest of the troops and head to the east in 5 days. We are going to take back Deron, the city of the vampire."
