| The Three Horai (ancient Greek) |
It has been three months, Horus left Hathor and White Ox in Israel and travelled back to Egypt.
It is late at night, Horus travel to another city. Horus climb out of the window, of his room, within the inn and onto the rooftop. He dressed in all black, so he could use the night as cover. A short wooden lance and a hammer is still his prefer weapon. Horus stay low, so the guards patrolling the streets can’t see him. This town, got a curfew after dark, anybody that is found wandering the streets, would be killed. On the streets there are the body of dead homeless. Usually at night, kind people of the town, let one or two homeless into their home. But there are always more homeless then the people been allowed into the homes. Those who are not allowed into a home, the guards patrolling the streets, kills them. The Prefect, fear rebels gathering at night, for operations against him and Seth’s rule. Horus reached the main street, where a piece of Osiris’ body was been hung. Horus stayed low, while he awaits the passing guards. There were still two more guards waiting there. Horus know these two guards are going nowhere and he got no choice but to take them on. When there are no further guards, Horus jumped off the rooftop in front of the main street, he could have attack from behind and kill the guards before they know what is going on. But Horus got no intention of killing anybody. The two guards engaged Horus with their weapon. Horus didn’t grab his weapons and choose to engage the two guards with his hands, despite both guards are holding a lance. Soon enough Horus disarmed both guards. The two guards try engaging Horus in hand to hand combat, but was defeated easily. Horus was quick to blow a pink powder to the face of the two guards and both guards fall under a deep sleep. This powder, was of Horus’ own formula. It is originally based on an Amazonian formula, call the succubus, it is name after a group of Amazonian assassins, of the same name. The Succubus are the Amazon’s weirdest assassins. They secret put a form of weird pink powder into the food of their enemy, this led the enemy to fall into a trance where they cannot think clearly and is filled with uncontrollable lust. The Succubus will then seduce their victim and in the love making process, continue to feed the victim, which is not thinking clearly right now, the powder, until he literally dies in the process of love making. Only the most beautiful Amazonian women are chosen to become a succubus. Horus changed the succubus formula to a certain extent, to make it a heavy sleeping powder, but won’t cause extreme mating lust.
With the two guards knock out, Horus prepare to replace the corps of Osiris, with the fake corps that he created. Just as Horus was about to do so, suddenly, multiple platoons of soldiers emerged. Horus know, this is bad, it is a trap! Horus might be a great warrior, but even he is no match against multiple platoons of soldiers. Especially consider, unlike modern military where each platoon only got thirty soldiers, each platoon here, got fifty soldiers.
Horus soon realized, he is up against an entire company of troops, two hundred and fifty soldiers
“After Him!” the Company commander order
Horus is still confused about what is happening. Soldiers emerged from both sides of the main road. Horus looked around and quickly jumped onto the rooftop and started running.
The soldiers, started chasing him and firing arrows at him. Most soldiers might not be able to scale walls, like Horus, but there are three that can. Three elite soldiers quickly jumped onto the rooftop and chase after Hours. These are no ordinary soldiers, they are from a unit of Seth's army known as the Twenty-four elders. They are military operation unit similar to the Japanese Ninja and just like the Japanese Ninja are cover operation Special Forces and Japanese Samurai are infantry Special Forces. The Twenty-four elders are cover operation Special Forces.
The rank of the twenty-four elders include the rank of Corporal, Sergeant and Captain.
Members of the Twenty-four elders are chosen from that of the High Templar. The High Templar are chosen from the Templar. The Templar is chosen from those that are most loyal to Seth within Seth's army, they serve the function of military police and is independent from the rest of the military. The High Templar that are chosen from the Templar, is once again the most loyal of the Templar and is once again independent from the Templar. The High Templar also serve the function of Seth's Secret Police and are trained in to perform cover operation. The Twenty-four elders are chosen amount the High Templar, once again independent from the High Templar. The High Templar is the only legion within Seth's army that use the rank of Lance Corporal, due to the High Templar's training in cover operation, elevate each soldier beyond the rank of Private. To achieve the rank of Lance Corporal, they need to have better skills in martial arts, stealth and swimming.
The rank of the twenty-four elders including the rank of Corporal, Sergeant and Captain, they are expected to be of a cover operation standard higher then the High Templar of the same rank, as their Corporal command no soldier and the Sergeant and Captain, command fewer soldiers. A Corporal is expect to have the cover operation standard of a Lieutenant. A Sergeant is expected to have the cover operation standard of a Captain. A Captain is expect to have the cover operation standard of a Colonel.
The Corporals wear a red bandit over their face and the Sergeants wear a blue bandit over their face. The twenty four elders got eight teams each team contains two Corporal and one Sergeant, hence twenty-four of them, thus, they are called the twenty-four elders. Two teams are commanded by a Captain and the four Captain answer directly to a Lieutenant General of Seth.
Horus quickly grabbed his weapons, to face them. These soldiers are better equipped, compared to ordinary soldiers, each with a bronze sword. Horus know, wooden weapons might not be enough and grabbed his bronze sword also. He normally keeps his bronze sword in hiding, due to it been a sign of wealth and only use it when things are that desperate.
Horus engaged the three enemy soldiers. neither side can get the upper hand. Underneath, Horus saw, the unwelcoming sight, the ordinary soldiers that cannot climb walls have return with ladders and are preparing to climb to the rooftop. Despite these three soldiers are not able to defeat Horus, which is a master swordsman, they are still a handful for Horus handle, if the other soldiers, also come, Horus will become overwhelmed and Horus knows it. Horus know that he needs to escape. When the opportunity comes, Horus jumped backwards and started to escape again.
Horus kept running. In front of him, enemy soldiers started fired arrows at him, Horus was able to move his sword and lance quickly, blocking all the attacking arrows, he charged through the soldiers killing each that is in his way. The three special forces soldiers were still chasing after Horus. They were each wearing a black robe, a black cloak and a black head scarf that cover their head, the headscarf were kept down by a bronze crown, two of these soldiers are wearing a red bandit that cover their face, one wears a blue bandit that cover his face. The three special forces caught up to Horus again and quickly had Horus surrounded. Horus managed to dogged passed one special forces soldier and escaped. Horus leap from the rooftop of one building to another, underneath, enemy soldiers fired arrows, almost hitting him.
"After him" the commander of the three special forces said
The special forces soldiers also leap from one building to the next, to chase after Horus. There were soldiers ahead of Horus, they each charged with their spears. Horus managed to kill the ones blocking his way. But soon, the three Special forces emerged from the other direction and jumped onto the rooftop from the street. Horus quickly engaged them and fend off any ordinary soldiers that come his way. The Special Forces also engaged Horus. Horus continue to fight the Special Forces and ordinary soldiers and was getting overwhelmed. One Special Forces managed to launch his palm heavily upon Horus' chest. The attack was serious and Horus fall backwards and another managed to wound Horus on his arm. But Horus managed to jump back and escape further and into a narrow street. Horus was seriously injured. Horus tried to walk, but found his leg in pain, he realized an arrow has shot his leg. Horus painfully pulled the arrow out of his leg.
***
Horus tried to stay in hiding
"Over there!" a soldier yelled when he saw Horus
Horus is surrounded on both sides. five soldiers of the first row with shield and spear, another five behind with spear, ten more behind with bow. The three Special Forces, each standing on a rooftop with a sword.
Suddenly the sound of three horn blowing.
Without even knowing what is going on, Horus suddenly saw archers firing a wave of arrows, killing many soldiers of Seth. Seth’s soldiers were not expecting this and many died. A second wave of arrows fired, killing even more soldiers. A third wave of arrows fired, killing even more.
When the soldiers of Seth were still in disarray, a platoon of soldiers showed up.
“Charge three forwards!” The Lieutenant in command order
Horus was weak from his wounds, but he could make out the sound of the commander is a female.
The soldiers charged forward with hammer or lance. Killing many soldiers of Seth that was totally unprepared for this attack. It was when she got close, Horus finally recognize their commander, it was Neith. Neith, was holding two short wooden lances, one in each hand. As she charged forward, she killed every enemy soldier that comes her way. In front of him, Horus saw Neith's soldiers again regroup and fired their arrows, upon the soldiers of Seth that was still struggling to regroup and fired another three rounds of arrows and charged forward.
The three Special Forces soldiers jumped down from the rooftop and charged forward, killing many soldiers of Neith. Neith moved forward to engage the Special Forces.
“First Sergeant, you are in command, leave these three to me.” Neith said
“Yes, Lieutenant.” The sergeant said
The three Special Forces each holding a bronze sword in their hand.
“Well, I am not going to risk using wooden weapon against you. Good thing I came prepared.” Neith said, she put her two wooden lances away and replace it with two short bronze staff, each only the length of a human’s lower arm, but she tied a stone arrow to the tip of each staff.
The three Special Forces engaged Neith, but neither side was able to get the upper hand.
But when the other soldiers of Seth were getting defeated, the Special Forces realized, soon, Neith would have reinforcement.
“Retreat” the Special Forces commander finally said and the three of them jumped onto the rooftop and ran away.
Neith didn’t chase after them. She quickly ran to Horus side and check on his wound.
A few minutes later, after Seth’s soldiers retreat, Neith's soldiers returned to Neith’s location and went into defense formation.
“Lieutenant.” The sergeant said
Neith took a look at the wounded Horus. “He is seriously wounded. Seth’s army would return with reinforcement in no time. The arrow that strike him, got scorpion poison. Gather our wounded, full retreat.” Neith said
“Yes, Lieutenant.” The sergeant said
