《Knights quest》Still in the pit

Westcott began to inform them about what happen too him once he entered the south and what the south actually is.
"Before I start, how the hell you even manage to end up here, in the most treacherous region among the four cardinal points. The Nightmare South." Westcott asked
"Nightmare South..names accurate, anyway we were betrayed by King and ended up being shipwrecked here." Q explained
"Of all places... Wait... King, but isn't he a sworn ally to the Church?, and wasnt your battalion suppose to be caring the Ark?" West asked in complete shock.
" We were carrying it back the holy land but then King turned on us." Q replied
"King?!?. No!. He's like a father and older brother too most of us, he is even one of the divine, a superior race who's task to protect the Ark."
"Well that didn't stop him. Anyway where's your platoon? the Mighty Orchestra. "
At the back
Watch and listening intensively was the ominous presence in the back.
"You heard that Empress...they too also know about the divine beings, those same beings that dwell within the south and they are not fond off others like themselves. Since they mostly became deities too other Clans or Tribes."
"Lady Scorpearra, the one they called King. He may still be after them, if he was to enter the south. It could start a divine war", Empress pointed out.
Back too West
"I've lost Several of my brothers and sisters here on this hellish Continent." West muttered,
"How?... the Orchestra is an impregnable army. Their size along would have out number several of these tribes." Q mention,
"Haven't you fought those same tribesmen? Just cause I had great numbers, didn't mean I have the advantage." Westcott told him,
"He's right... even I had a hard time against them, it took all of use just to deal with a single tribesman." Q thought to himself as he remembered the battle with Ziair,
"This entire region is over run by tribes, clans , small kingdoms and a few organizations and among them the most active of them all was an organization know as the Company, though they are mostly know as the Suits."
"Suits?...you mean that group that wore suits, is called Suits...couldn't they have been more creative?" Q joked.
Westcott then went into detail of how the Orchestra was defeated.
"It was ten year ago and we had just finished our holy crusade through several foreign nations, and had just arrived back the motherland."
"Holy crusade just sounds like an excuse for murder." Rain stated, while shaking her head.
"Shush...let him continue with how they kill innocent people for their God." Empress said,
"....sigh..Anyway. As usual we had a week of celebration for our return. While the celebrations where going on a messager from the Church was sent to us with orders from the Bishop."
"A whole week of celebration for killing Innocents...scum." Skyrim said with disguste on her face.
"We were told to go and confirm the rumors that had been circling around about one of our outposts had been corrupted and going against the Church's policies.
'I see. So that's why you left without telling anyone, incase they were members within our ranks that were also going against the church." Q figured,
"So we started preparing for our next voyage towards the gate continent, it was know as the four cardinal points.
The Righteous North that is ruled by the Nobles and was an ally to the Church, and also acted as a barrier against the other three."

"They we stayed for the first couple of months gathering intelligence on the other three points.We learnt that each of the four points were separated by three smaller inslands and locationed in the center of all four regions was a fifth, which was known as Gods ground.
No wars or battles could be raged there."
"Once we had made it to God's ground we decided that it will become our HQ.
From there I lead a small group of 10,000knights from my 50,000knight battalion across the archipelago Islands towards the south. Still we weren't prepared for what was to come."
"My word you call 10,000 troops small. That's kinda overkill." Q pointed out,
"I was just being cautious...anyway this place that we had just entered was in utter chaos, there were no rules just constant fighting, killing, they had no law or order, other than the strong rain supreme."
"Yup. Was a terrible time.." Empress but in,
"My crew and I started to gather info on what was going on with this madness, we soon found out that the south was filled with several gangs, tribes and roaming groups who all had devastating power. However most of these gangs and groups were outcasts from the north or escape prisoners.
Unlike the Tribes and Clans that originally came from the south.'
"Really, so the south was nothing but a waste land. Even the Church was corrupted by these people. Did you find out what had happened to the Church?" Q questioned.
"Could he mean the same church that those two are from." Skyrim thought,
"Navarra's man...ain't he apart of the church." Blossom thought,
West then continued on saying that the leader of the Church who had been sent here was driven mad with power, he used the Church as a force to over take villages, towns, even waged against other gangs, but everything soon came to a sudden stop upon our arrival.
"Since we were new we had been at an disadvantage, we didn't know the terrain as well as our opposition. Nor did we know about the savage beast, toxic plants. All which had been used too dwindling our forces."
"Aszra....isn't he a member of the Church with him as well." Rain thought,
"We we're fresh meat in the eyes of the residents and they weren't being shady about it. Attacked, ambushed, bombarded and etc, daily this happened but we were unphase, Soon are strength was acknowledged and most didn't dear to bother us.
We then used this time to search for the Church and the members, it took several days but then we ran finally find the right hand."
"Bible...he helped us find the headquarters of the corrupted church and without idling we engaged them, killing off each and everyone."
Instantly the room began to fill with blood lust.
"Bible...he's a true threat." Scorpearra thought as she began emitting an intense blood lust,
"Shitttt.. West what he hell you did?" Q panic,
"Doan worry...she gets like that whenever she hears his name. Soooo continue." Rain politely asked,
"Damn...forgot that it's cause of Bible that Aszra meet Navarra and ended up taking her", West thought.
"Afterwards Bible infromed me that he would find trust worthy men and station himself within the center of the south,
the confrontation with the corrupted Church, re-established and reinforce by my 40,000 Knights troops I had left on God's ground."
"The Holy Knights then became once more a place of pride, power and respect. A year passed by and i had manage to increase our influence within the south gaining more territory, the Holy Knights Core had now been rooted in the south."

"Looks like everything was going according to plan." Q stated?
"It was, but peace doesn't last forever.
For that year of peace was followed by nothing but death and carnage. 'The Hounds' they were three brothers that had recently entered the south, their whereabouts were unknown but we paid little attention to them."
"A while after they made a name for themselves as the 'relentless Cerberus'. They would attacked repeatedly, anyone one who they saw as worthy opponents. Even if they were defeated or brought to the brink of death, it wouldn't sway their determination. They manage to quickly gain massive respect among the higher ups and were now looking to broaden their way of thinking. It was the beginning and the end."
"Soooo... he too knows of the sleeping beast of the south." Empress thought too herself as the entire room went cold after hearing the title of Cerberus. Everyone within the south knew that name, and most of the South's Leaders have already felt the wrath of their bite.
"If I only paid more attention to their sudden rise, I would have intervene earlier."
"Only a few months had passed after their ascension the top, and they quickly began gathering members and not just any low tair warriors, but those who were equal in rank to them."
"Yes the ranking system... could you go over it once again." Q asked, since he wasn't paying full attention the first time.
"....You piece of shit. Anyway, the heads of the south a ranking system.
Before the south was taken over by the gangs, organizations and the tribes it was first ruled by KingBeast. Several of these beast had their territory, so the founding tribe's leaders decided to rank each beast form weakest to strongest, to create a structure in which areas would be most suitable to live in. After some time the ranking system was used to rank each warrior within the tribes, they were Six major ranks. The first was the A rankers, you couldn't be a warrior unless you were an S rank.
The second were Elites, they made up the squads with squadleaders being Sentries.
Third are the Sentries, which had five different level within it since those of Sentry power could be vastly different too one another.
They are copper, silver, gold, white and black Sentries. With Black the strongest, you'll find alot of black or white Sentries roaming through out the south, while the ranks below normally travel in groups."
"I feel like I'm in class with him explaining all this boring carp." Blossom stated as she swayed back n forth,
"...Then they are the natural disasters, LowTowers and HighTowers. They are usually small Clan or Tribe heads, Ziair is a LowTower same as Empress. It would take a squad of high rank Sentries too fully take one down, but those of HighTower are much more fearsome. Running into one is rare but if it happens then you either submit or die."
"He's not lying about the HighTowers, not even all of the Six Swords could take her down. Her power is truly frightful." Empress thought to herself,
"Last was those who are known as Kings. Who have no affiliation with any one, they were the most feared for one King could level a medium size village or town. Even those of HighTower who could overwhelmed a group of Sentries wouldn't have much chance against a King."
"West sure knows alot doesn't he Empress." Scorpearra mention.
"He sure does...he could be a threat if he became an enemy. Also this group is full of Sentries and two of them are nearing the level of Tower. It's frightful", Empress responded.
"YOU KNEW THIS SHIT!! YET YOU STILL HAD US FIGHT AGAINST ZIAIR??" Q roared,
"We didn't had a choice, beside I was hoping that Ziair cockiness would work against him.
Anyway, Within that short time they challenge a well known King. Both the Clans and Tribes heads and were shock by this, but no one cared really. Though the hounds were strong, they were only ranked as Sentries, and that too someone of King ranked is nothing. Even two HighTowers werent able of defeating a King, still we were all fooled. Two of the three Hounds had been hiding their actual strength which was LowTower rank.
While the leader was that of HighTower, and yet they still had another massive trick. They weren't called Cerberus for nothing."
"So he knew about that from as well...killing West was my plan, but using him for information would be much more useful." Empress reckon,
"They were capable of merging with each other to forming a creature of eminence power, which was capable of defeating a King."
"After the defeat of a King. The south went into a panic, not cause of the king's defeat but that he had joined with the hounds."
"Word spread that the power within south was now starting to tilt towards the hounds. I had began preparing too silence them before they could grow any stronger. So I allowed a year too pass by to gather and strengthen my army. Plus they only had one king rank on their side, also their forces where very small so they would've been exhausted."
"What a rookie mistake. The hell were u thinking?" Q questioned?
However, the Hounds challenge, killed, overthrew and expanded their territory within that year. Soon after that they just seem to vanish, An a new organization emerge calling themselves Suits. I still hadn't given any thought to the disappearance of the hounds, all that mattered was that the Church had a foothold within this threaturous land. So another year had passed and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, but then word begun to spread that one of the five major organizations had been overtaken. This news placed everyone one on high alert and soon sent the south back in to chaos, it was the rise of a new Era.
*Butcher begins too wake*
"Oh...noo...Rain! Quickly tighten the sand bind", Skyrim order. Quickly leaping over by Butcher preparing to knock him back out.
"Mmmmmm....she's well aware of how dangerous he is...interesting", Q thought to himself.
".....is everyone stable now?" West asked,
"You can continue West. Your friend there however isn't someone we want too risk having an altercation with." Empress stated,
"Do they know of Butcher's destructive capabilities?" Q thought,
"Well Then. remaining organizations soon realized that the hounds were still active and hiding in the shadows of the Suits, gathering forces too launch an attacked on unaware territories.
So to prevent the hound's from countering our territories. I had the aid of a few clans but the tribes didn't care for anything that happened those that aren't of southern decent.
Still I was very much confident in our ability and numbers, but it all changed after word of another King rank being recruited by the Hounds.
One King would have been enough but two of them would not only change the balance of power but also apoint the Hounds as the head of the entire south. Messages came to the church daily with news of what the suits were up to, the one that caught my attention was that they had been sighted on the boarders of my territories, I had been waiting for the day that they would come and try to challenge the Church but I was arrogant and didn't send word back to my superiors of what was taking place. I wasnt prepared for the level of destruction that they would have brought, but I was too confident in my own arrogance."
"Oh no" Q groaned.
"Not only were they strong but the were also strategic, cutting off all routes that led out of our base of operations.Turning our own territory into an elaborate maze, all the villages and towns that were with my territory were then use against me.
Before long my troops had already been stretch out thin by defending our main territories.
They attacked all the churches in the south, I had managed to gather, and Bible didnt even attempt to support me. He completely left us too die. So inna last attempted I gather the remaining of my core and attacked them head on, I knew the orchestra could withstand the power of those two kings. So with the little time I had, I pushed pass my limits in hopes that I could take out those three bastards."
"How the hell did you even get that rank. Your every plan was bad." Q said,
"Haha...all his choices are bad." Rain added,
"She's not lying, we haven't known him as long, but each of his plan are just death traps." Skyrim also add.
".......ok...I get it. With the kings distracted with my army I took 15,000knights to take out the hounds. But after three days of an endless war.
I woke to see nothing but the bodies of my crew spread all through out the town and cities, i spent several days gathering any that may have survived and made an escape towards the east."
"They let you live?" Q questioned.
"I only survived because of the sudden appearance of Fall. He had been waiting for both sides too weaken too come finish us off, but the Hounds saw this coming and retreated back. So Fall decided that he'll allow me too live as long as I didn't return back with anymore of my Knights.
With the hounds forces weaken and my army destroyed, Fall and those tribes that backed him were now back in power."
"The east?" Q asked.
"Before I had came too the south I went there to set up relations and outpost in case the worst happen. It took me some time to escape the south but, I couldn't report what had truly happened.
So instead I lied and went back to the south. I've been here in hiding making allies to take out those hounds."
"This just keeps on getting worse." Rain stated,
"How many survived the battle?" Q asked.
"Three made it back. the voice of the Orchestra. Phile and that madman the Berserk Priest." West informed,
".....ARE YOU BLOODY MAD!!! HOW DARE YOU NOT REPORT WHAT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. YOU ALLOWED YOUR PRIDE TOO BEST YOU AND THATS WHY YOU NEVER RETURNED HOME......AND YOU EVEN HAVE BUTCHER'S YOUNGER BROTHER SOMEWHERE IN THIS MESSED UP PLACE." Q roared at West, as he was Livid with anger.
"If Butcher was too find that his brother is actually still alive. He'll kill you, damn..another secret we have to withhold from him." Q mention,
"I'm sorry for my actions Q...but it's worst, Bible has taken over one of the five grand churches within God's ground. I found out that he was the one who was being everything, even helping out the hounds. So that's why I also stayed, so I could take him out." West said, with his voice breaking from the pain of remembering his fallen friends,
"Awwww poor west", blossom cried as she drop down beside him. To then begin hugging his head.
"Well...I've heard enough." Scorpearra stated.
"Yes....we've all heard enough....I wonder what Butcher gonna do when he hears this." Primous stated

8 101BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
