At night, the citizens of Troy happy they had won a war that they barely fought for years went drunk with wine and were filled their tummies with bread and wheat.
Unknown to them, This great wooden horse that served as a symbol of their opponents defeat, was actually the symbol of their demise.
A symbol that would be talked about for many many generations to come.
For while deep in the night, after their heart felt celebration, the city had become quiet.
Many, drunk and lazy, had slept off on the streets and even the guards of the palace had loosen their guard.
And that was when it happened.
At this time of Chiron's story, everybody in the hall had already been captivated by the story.
Their full attention were on his words.
For some reason, that story had a strong semblance to a situation all of them knew but could not put their fingers on.
Even General Buckle could not help but frown his brows a little tighter.
As a man that had gone through countless battles, he was sensitive to trouble, and even more so to danger.
Everything in him screamed that something was wrong, but he just could not put a finger on it.
Chiron's eyes darted across the room and he took one and then another step as his eyes ensured to look at all the faces.
The chains strapped to his body were the only sound in the great hall.
The hall had become that silent in attention.
However, for some reason unknown, those chains did not sound like a man that was imprisoned but the noise of slow arriving trouble.
Chiron's eyes turned back to the king.
"Can you guess what happened at night!?"
Obviously, the king did not know, and so Chiron decided to continue the stroy.
"That night, Odysseus and his men opened the belly of the Giant horse. One by one, they leaked like shit droppings from its back side. Suddenly, the enemy was now within the city, and the people of the city no longer had their safety walls to protect them..."
Chiron paused.
King Ash frowned slightly, "is that all? Are you not going to finish this stroy of yours. I might even decid to make your suffering a little better if the end impresses me."
"The END!?" Chiron had a surprised look on his face, "have you not been paying attention? It is already here!"
Chiron chuckled loudly and then he muttered, "Devil's Touch, You may drink some!"
Chiron suddenly activated his Aura energy as he sent a kick to the guards behind him.
However, before the kicks could reach Devil's touched snaked around his body like water, through his legs and formed bladed whips that slashed against their necks.
Blood slashed on the food and some nobles, while one of the heads landed right on thighs of a noble woman.
There was half a second pause in the hall, and then...
"AHHHHHH!!!"
The noble woman gave a high pitch scream.
"You BASTARD!!! How DARE you!" General Buckle screamed as he longed forward for Chiron.
He released his Spirit energy and the bronze energy of middle realm cultivator suddenly filled the place.
However, as he longed forward, he noticed something wrong. Chiron stared him dead in the eyes and then the Armless prince gave a side smile.
This came as surprise to General Buckle. After all, it was strange for Chiron to smile or even stand in the presence of his cultivation energy.
At the very least, a carefree attitude should not be plastered on Chiron's face.
However, Chiron suddenly signalled the approaching General with his eyes for him to look to the right.
Subconsciously, he did.
Luckily, General Buckle saw it in time.
Carla's long unforgiving finger nails launched for his neck.
He made a quick twist in the air and landed on the ground.
However, before he could be surprised by how Carla who was a lower demon cultivator could stand his Spiritual energy, things were happening all around the Banquet hall.
The guards were slaughtering each other.
He looked closely, and then he saw it well.
Those were not the royal guards.
"What the fuck is going on!?" He screamed.
However, Carla attacked again.
The blow this time around, was to his chest.
*Boom!*
It was hard, and he crashed into the tables.
Aside General Buckle, they were other high ranking officers in the room, and they too were strong.
However, they were all easily beaten, just like General Buckle.
Swords from Captain Timi and the rest of Chiron's men were against their necks, and also the necks of the royal family, including the king.
King Ash looked at Chiron and then at his banquet.
Many nobles that attempted escape were killed immediately.
All slaughtered like the cooked core beasts that was served on their dinning tables.
"What is the meaning of this!?" King Ash asked.
However, Chiron could not be bothered to answer him.
"Please help me with this, Carla!"
She nodded as she waved he long demon fingers, cutting the chains on Chiron's body.
Chiron leaned backwards and then side to side.
"I hope you don't mind manners king Ash! You men were too caring with me. I have stretch a little bit!"
Chiron took his time.
It took him a full five minutes to be done.
All the while, King Ash, General Buckle and the others had no choice but to watch.
King Ash was boiling in rage but there was nothing he could do.
This was not because he was weak.
No! It was because of another problem. His eyes looked at the cup of wine, and back at Chiron.
Chiron chuckled, "Ah! I see you have discovered it. But it's a little too late. From the moment that goblet touched your lips. Your fate was sealed."
Chiron turned to one of the maids that had been serving.
"Or is that not so, Emma!?"
Emma that had been acting like a scared little girl suddenly stood to her feet. She removed the veil off her face.
"Yes, master!" She bowed. In her hand was a little bottle. There were Runic symbols on it.
(Author's note: This was fun to write. But wait, it gets better. let's wait for the next chapter to see.)
