Chapter 2
They walk in the road to react to the town to rest up for a day so they can reach the kingdom. Michael was bored and wanted to use an aircraft to get there easily, but he must be smart about it. He needs to hide his power from this world so he won't bring any attention to everyone unless he has to.
While they are on the road, he and Tiara are having a chat while they head to the town.
Michael: So where does your family live? I mean, I was thinking they are in the kingdom.
Tiara: Actually, this land belongs to my family.
Michael: Oh! Well, maybe I can stay there for a long while. Anything else there?
Tiara: There is a guild in the next town where my family lives. You can find the quests if you wish to be an adventurer.
Michael: Maybe. Do you think there's a library in the town?
Cora: For what I remember, in the kingdom, it has a large building that holds a library. But the town we just headed to has a library, but a small building size. Common folks are allowed to go there.
Michael: Thanks, Cora. By the way, you're a noble, right? Then what title does your family hold?
Tiara: My family is Viscount.
Michael: Hmm... You know, I've seen nobles so, no offense to you, cold-hearted, arrogant, ignorant, selfish, lying son of the btiches so cares nothing more than themselves and always look down on commoners whenever they feel like it.
Cora: Sir Michael! Do you not dare speak that way to the daughter of Viscount!
Tiara: Oh... So you really hate nobles so much. Would that mean you hate me because I aka noble too?
She said, bringing out cute, yet tearful eyes toward him. He felt guilty for saying that in front of her.
Michael: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Not you. You are the kindest girl I've seen and I don't think you don't look down on the nobles. If I know you are a noble when you are being held by the bandits, I would heartlessly ignore your cries. But I didn't, and I saved you and your maid. I'm sorry to say that.
His words make her cheerful feeling so much better.
Tiara: T-Thank you, Sir Michael. I know you don't mean that. To be honest I really don't care about following the caste system. I just want to get along with everyone, especially the demihumans.
Michael: Demihumans? Are they like humans with animal features, you know?
Cora: Yes. Here in this kingdom, there are less discrimination of demihuman and they live together equally although there are some humans who disapprove the degree made by royal majesty.
Michael: And I'm guessing those guys are Anti-Demihumans?
Cora: That's right. I've heard rumors that some nobles have gathered to go against the policy the majesty has made, and they got support from a prince in this kingdom.
Michael: Who is this prince, you ask?
Tiara: His name is Klein van Augustus. 2nd prince of Hardonia Kingdom. Between you and I, I really don't like him.
Michael: What makes you say that?
Tiara: Klein despite he's born of royal blood, he really despises demihumans claiming that humanity is the dominant species and deserves to be first and demihumans are an inferior race. I remember the time when I was attending a party in a royal castle, he attempted to touch me in a gross way and I had to get away from him. I went outside crying myself if not for my maid finding me and comforting me.
Michael: Dear God! That's awful and gross! That prince is not cool.
Tiara: Indeed. I've heard his royal family scolded him for his behavior. He really loves playing women for his lust enjoyment. I also heard a rumor that he is secretly conspiring to stage a coup to take the throne by force.
Michael: And do you think it will happen?
Cora: It's just a rumor. There's no evidence that a 2nd prince would never conspire something like that. He also hated his first brother.
Michael: Oh?
As they continued talking to each other, they heard a woman scream.
Cora: What was that!
Michael: That does not sound good.
Tiara: It's coming from a town in the north. Cora.
Cora: On it!
They both go straight to the town at high speed. When they reached the town, it was a disaster. The soldiers are attacking the town that is loyal to the King and his royal family. They pillage and slaughter every demihuman and some humans who are loyal to the king. The soldiers are crazed with excitement as they enjoy attacking the people in the town.
Tiara: What is happening!?
Michael: Don't know. But I see those soldiers are attacking this town.
Cora: Are the neighboring kingdoms declaring war?
Michael: We're not sure yet. But I ain't sit back and watch those people slaughtered. Stay here, Tiara.
He jumps out the horse and goes straight to the town.
Tiara: Sir Michael, wait!
She shouted at him, but it's too late as he didn't hear her. Using Halo Spartan enhancement, he ran faster than normal human running speed. He spotted three footmen cornered two demihumans, the beastmen. A beastwoman holding on to her son as they are about to be killed.
Beastwoman: Please, have mercy!
Prince footman 1: Oh look, this animal beg for mercy? Ahahahahaha!
Prince footman 2: Animals like you should be on leash and we enjoy killing you and your little animal freak!
Beastwoman: No!
Michael: Oi!
The footmen turn their faces at him wearing a Spartan armor suit.
Prince footman 1: And who the hell are you?
Michael didn't say as he spawn his energy hammer and quickly swung at him to the air. The footmen were shocked to see him flying away to the sky.
Prince footman 2: What the- Get him!
They raise their swords and go toward him to attack. But they were gunned down to the heads by him using a modern pistol. He approached them as he said.
Michael: You alright, lady?
Beastwoman: Y-Yes. Thank you, strange knight.
Michael: No problem. Now get out of here.
Beastwoman takes her child and runs away. He proceeds to save more people of the town from the invaders. He spotted more soldiers chasing after runaway townsfolk. He summons his weapon called a Prism rifle and fires at enemy horse riders as they fall one by one. He proceeded to move on to see a group of soldiers carrying swords, shields, and spears. They saw him heading their way.
Prince footman 1: Hey! Who the hell are you!
Prince footman 2: He's some sort of a knight? He doesn't look like one.
Prince footman 3: Just kill him already now!
They raise their weapons and charge towards him. Michael summons his tool gun as he switches to explosives, and shoots at them causing them to explode killing charging footmen.
...
Meanwhile
Tiara and Cora are helping the townsfolk to take them to somewhere safe. There's also a few people forming a militia to fight off Prince footmen when they attack them. They hold them for long, but not always holding on as best as they can. Tiara guided them inside the building and then she looked at the town buildings burning in flames and prayed that he would survive this slaughter.
Tiara: Sir Adam, please help these people. You're our only hope.
...
A footman cut off in half by Michael as he used a slash attack. Another footman came out of nowhere charging in with his spear toward him, but he was shot to the face by using a modern magnum pistol. Then he switches his weapon back to energy hammer as he wents in, and smash those enemy foot men. When he's done smashing bad guys, he sees the town buildings are on fire so he uses a water horse with an unlimited water fuel backpack to remove the fire immediately. He was removing the fire when suddenly he noticed someone attempting to attack him while he was distracted so he quickly dodge from an attack. He falls back to see a person wearing knight armor different from regular footmen. He is accompanied by his four Knights behind him. He used identification status on them.
Michael (on thoughts): Knights, huh? They look like more tough elite guys than regular footmen. Heh, this is too easy for me to fight them.
Prince Knight: Ah, so you're the one who is killing my men.
Michael: You could say that.
He said confidently.
Michael: So whoever you are, you should stop terrorize these people in this town.
Prince Knight: Hahahaha! Stop? Never! This town is filled with demihuman filths and our own kind still coexists with them despite how disgusted animals are. I bet you are one of those people.
Michael: Human, Demihuman, they are living beings and deserve to be equal. You, on the other hand, wanted to keep mankind the best race which I am extremely against human supremacists like you. Just who are you guys anyway?
Prince Knight: Well, I must tell you since you are going to die. We are the knights aligned to His highness, Prince Klein van Augustus. He will rule this kingdom and bring prosperity for us humans and rid of these animal vermins!
Michael (on thoughts): Oh great. The rumor is becoming true. Tiara just really jinxes it. But I don't blame her anyway.
Michael: So you just started the civil war with the current King, huh? You know, the Prince you served is nothing more than a crying little swine that he pee his pants, and I will be laughing at him right now.
Prince Knight: Why you little shit! Kill him!
The Prince knights charge in for attack. Unfortunately for them, they are facing Adam Construct. He summoned his best weapon in Gmod: Prism Rifle. He fired upon four knights except one as they fell dead. A last knight is shocked and frightened that he killed his fellow knights in every single shot using that powerful staff he used.
Michael: Well now, so much for knight's confidence. Doubt these guys aren't tough as they said.
Prince Knight: Y-Y-You k-killed them. You killed them!
Michael: Yeah. I did.
He said as he sprinted towards him and grabbed him by his neck as he rose up to the air while a knight struggled to break out.
Michael: Now tell me, what Prince Klein really wanted this town to burn? And you better tell me the truth or else...
Prince Knight: Okay! Okay! This territory is owned by the Viscount Bruyere Family and one of the nobles still loyal to the King. We were ordered by the Prince as newly crowned king to kill the viscount family, take resources, and purge any demihumans and any human resistance loyalty to the current king.
Michael: See? You can be cooperative.
Prince Knight: P-Please! Let me go! I already told you everything!
Michael: I might let you go. But...
He snapped a knight's neck and let the corpse go onto the ground.
Michael: I can't let you live anyways right after this.
He said to the dead knight. Then he sees more Prince's Forces coming to his location.
Michael: Oh boy. That's not good. At least I am the strongest so I can take care of them in no-
Then suddenly, the explosions just appear upon them as it wipes them out. He looks at the rooftop to see a young girl wearing mage outfit is responsible for wiping out Prince's forces.
Michael: What the?
The remaining Prince's footmen survive and try to regroup only to be attacked by four adventurers coming from the left side. These adventures are a human swordsman, elven ranger, human female healer, and human male fighter wielding a battle axe. A young girl mage is part of them. After they take down enemy footmen, they see strange armor he's wearing.
Adventurer human swordsman: Hey! Who are you?
Michael: Hey look, I am one of Prince's soldiers which I am not! Also, how do I know you are not part of those guys and pretending to be adventurers just to kill me in deception?
Adventurer male fighter: Hey! Do we look like siding with them attacking this town?
Michael: Then you know I ain't one of them. Besides, I'm killing those guys to defend these townsfolk from being slaughtered.
Adventurer female healer: Oh. Then we are all on the same side.
Michael: Anyway, how did this happen?
Adventurer human swordsman: We have no idea. We were about to go goblin subjugation when all of sudden, a large number of soldiers came and attacked this town. They start killing townsfolk, mostly demihumans. The guild master has ordered to protect this town at all cost.
Michael: I interrogate one of these knights saying they came to kill the Viscount family owning this land, taking resources, and taking over this land under their control. They were led by Prince Klein van Augustus.
Adventurer elven ranger: Prince Klein van Augustus did this. I can't believe it.
Adventurer young girl mage: But why? Why would the prince do this?
Michael: Probably he hates demihumans and he is staging a coup to take over the kingdom and probably executed demihumans and any humans who are loyal to your current king.
Adventurer human swordsman: Damn. I can't believe the prince would resort to this! But anyway, we are fighting off the enemy all we can, and the town militias are fighting them until the Kingdom's forces arrive.
Michael: Yeah. While you are doing that, I'm going to save the Viscount family which I believe are being attacked by Prince's forces. After all, I have their daughter with me.
Adventurer human swordsman: Alright then, well it's nice to meet you stranger. We will go and help the others. Go and save the Viscount family before it's too late.
Michael: Yeah. Got'cha!
He said as they went separate ways. He reaches Tiara position as they are still under attack by Prince's soldiers. He summons his energy hammer and swings at them, sending flying and hits on the wall. He goes up to her as he said.
Michael: Hey Tiara, you alright?
Tiara: We're fine. Thanks for saving us again.
Michael: No problem. Anyway, your family is in trouble. Prince Klein van Augustus has started the civil war because he's staging the coup and they're the reason to attack this town.
Tiara: What! I can't believe Prince Klein would do something like this. But my family! I need to get there.
Michael: Which is why we must get there faster.
Tiara: But how? The Prince's army is blocking the road and even if we ride horses it'll take hours to reach my family place.
Michael: Then we go there by air.
Tiara: Huh?
She is confused about what he is saying by air. He pulls out a tool gun and spawns a UH-144 Falcon from Halo Reach. Tiara and Cora are shocked to see that thing just appeared from him using that strange object that used to spawn things.
Michael: Alright, climb onboard. We're going to save your family.
Cora: Wait, you are suggesting we onboard that thing?
Michael: It's faster in the air and we can get there in no time. Now get in. There's no time to lose.
Tiara: H-He's right. My family is in trouble and I have to save them.
She said in determination as she went onboard the Falcon aircraft.
Cora: Lady Tiara, wait!
She said, following her behind to onboard as well. Michael helped them to put on the seat belt then he went to the pilot cockpit to turn it on.
Michael: Okay... Let's hope that playing Halo games will pay off well. Alright ladies, it's time to take off! Just hang on tight and we will get to your family in no time!
He said to the girls. A Falcon aircraft lifts off to the air and flies below the burning town as they are headed to Bruyere Viscount Manor place to save her family from Prince Klein forces. They hope that they are not too late to save them.
