The trolls looked at Caesar as if he was the biggest idiot they had ever seen, they smiled with disdain and knocked their bows with an arrow.
Caesar didn't pay much heed to their arrogance, in fact, he preferred his enemies to look down on him… it was much more pleasurable to destroy confident enemies in comparison to cautious ones.
A dark mist suddenly enveloped Caesar's entire right arm, it's consistency was thicker than the last time he had used it, similar to black sand.
'Hmm, I still can't release my authority too far away from my body' Caesar thought inwardly as the ominous mist intertwined around his arm as if it was alive.
"W-what the hell is that?" one of the trolls asked anxiously…
"Don't worry, it's just another one of his petty tricks, FIRE THE ARROWS!" the troll leader ordered sternly.
*shick*
*shick*
Before the troll archers could complete their orders, a few small pieces of ice invaded their necks causing blood to spew out and paint their allies red with blood.
The other troll archers were dazed for a few seconds before, finally, getting a hold of themselves and firing at the still stationary Caesar.
*fwoosh*
The arrows traveled toward Caesar at an astonishing speed, however, Caesar's calm expression didn't change in the slightest as he gracefully raised his left hand and formed a small rectangular shield of ice.
*thunk*
Five or so arrows impaled the ice about 2 inches deep resulting in the group of trolls to look at Caesar with astonishment.
"I-Ice magician? I thought those were all extinct?" The troll leader asked with bafflement.
Caesar, of course, didn't answer him and immediately charged forward, he hurled the shield of ice at the remnant troll archers and stopped them from firing another wave of arrows.
*shing*
Each of the trolls took out their curved blades from their waist and prepared for impact, they used their abnormally long limbs as an advantage to strike Caesar from afar.
Caesar slightly squinted his eyes as he barely tilted his head and evaded the first blade, he ducked below the next two blades and brought both of his hands to their wrists, immediately, one of the bodies turned into an ice sculpture while the other one whithered away at a visible pace.
"Grr, I'm going to rip your bones out, you bastard" The troll leader which was a head taller than the rest struck down toward Caesar with a scimitar.
Caesar grabbed one of the curved blades by his side and brought the weapon up to meet the troll leaders sword.
*CLANG*
Both swords hit each other and the sound of metal hitting metal reverberated throughout the surroundings, Caesar was quite surprised at the physical strength this troll possessed, but the troll was even more surprised at Caesar's physical strength.
Their clash didn't last very long, however, Caesar moved his lower body and swept the troll off his feet, he quickly jumped on top of the fallen troll and moved his right hand to his neck.
"G-get off our leader you scum!" A few nearby trolls roared in a mad craze and attacked Caesar to interrupt him from killing their leader.
"Tsk"
Caesar clicked his tongue in displeasure and hopped off the troll's body, he created a few pieces of ice and launched them downward while in mid-air.
*puch*
The three trolls that had attacked him, now had regret reflect in their eyes as they held their neck to stop their blood from spilling out, alas their efforts were in vain.
*plop*
Caesar landed on the ground a few meters or so away from the trolls, they looked at him warily and their previous arrogance was nowhere to be found.
Caesar licked the blood that was on his mouth and smiled widely, he turned his body slightly to face the carts behind him.
"Are you just going to let me fight the trolls alone? I had thought the fox-kin men were a prideful race" Caesar shouted sarcastically, his words immediately igniting a fire in the eyes of the fox-kin currently hiding behind the carts.
The elites slowly walked out from behind the wagons and enveloped their swords with flames, their killing intent permeated from their bodies as they strode forward… It was clear they held a huge amount of hatred for the trolls.
The trolls, now without their previous superior numbers nor with the Ceros started sweating profusely, they took a few small steps back every time the fox-kin men took a step forward.
"OOOHHHHHH"
Suddenly, the fox-kin men charged forward and the trolls knew they were no match for their speed so they put up their weapons and prepared for battle.
The fox-kin elites passed by Caesar, they clearly only had the trolls in sight, as the fox-kin men charged, Caesar leisurely walked forward as if he was taking a stroll in his garden.
His eyes were only gazing at the troll leader who was also looking at him with fear apparent in his eyes.
Screams echoed across the forest but sound and time appeared to stop as Caesar slowly walked toward the troll leader, a playful smile danced on his lips.
"Y-you monster, get away from me" The troll leader scooted back with his hands and roared out in fear.
The fox-kin had naturally left him for Caesar to handle while they took care of the rest, he kicked off the ground and almost instantaneously appeared in front of the troll leader, he swiftly picked him up by the neck and brought him to a nearby tree.
The troll leader attempted to resist and flailed with his arms, however, Caesar didn't flinch one bit and pushed his back against a nearby tree.
Caesar brought his mouth closer to the trolls ear and whispered quietly, "I wonder how you knew your men were going to be ambushed here?" he asked.
"Haha, why would I tell you?" The troll asked with a bloody smile.
*crack*
"AHHHHHHH"
Caesar didn't hesitate to break one of the trolls fingers and ask once again, "you seemed to have told me you were going to rip my bones out? It's considered courtesy where I'm from to repay the favor" Caesar spoke nonchalantly…
He paused for a second and continued…
"Alas, if you tell me the information I want to hear… Perhaps, we could think of a different alternative"
"Y-you won't be able to break me… I will never rat out my own clan, we're not weak like your clan hahaha" the troll laughed wildly, but the large beads of sweat trailing down his face told a different story.
"Is that so?"
*crack*
"AHHHHHHH"
*crack*
"AHHHHHHH"
Caesar broke every finger the poor troll had, deep agony appeared in the eyes of the troll as he looked at Caesar with dread.
"T-torture is looked down upon in both of our clans… y-you monster" The troll said angrily.
"I've lived for a long time and as time has passed, I have learned many things… such as freezing and cauterizing a wound to stop bleeding out, or maybe even sticking needles under the nails." Caesar paused…
"Is it truly evil to kill an evil person, or is it heroic? Perhaps, it makes me evil as well… however, I have no qualms about becoming the villain if it means doing what's necessary.
*gulp*
The troll gulped audibly…
"I-I don't know who the s-spy is… b-b-b-but I know that he's close to your empress, m-my prince fancies your empress you see? All I-I know is that my prince promised that man a turn" The troll stuttered and was almost incoherent.
"A turn?" Caesar asked coldly, his voice made the troll's spine shiver.
"Y-y-yes, a turn" the troll adverted his eyes and replied.
"What do you mean by a turn," Caesar asked once again, his voice growing colder… he had a premonition.
"T-that is, a turn, in uhh, bed…" The troll finally explained and Caesar's eyes became even more chilly.
*puch*
Caesar impaled the troll in the forehead and gave him a quick death, he wouldn't go back on his word and cause any more unnecessary pain for the troll. He had closely examined the trolls facial expression and could easily tell that he wasn't lying.
He turned around and the fox-kin elites were already waiting for him to finish, they looked calm, but a very small amount of fear was discernible in their eyes.
Caesar didn't pay much attention to the elites but instead, focused on the small, shivering figure in the middle of them… Charlie.
