《Breathing Hurts: Short Stories》Their Fight is Our Fight
Advertisement
The wind howled in the ears of the Righteous Swords as they marched
Sweat poured from their steel armour as the sun relentlessly bore down on the men
Ragged breathing could be heard from beneath the helms of the soldiers, and yet the disciplined troops carried on
The sand shifted beneath their booted feet yet none lost their balance
Wandering through a delve in a sand dune, it happened
"Ambush!" screamed one of the forward scouts in warning before an arrow pierced his back and he collapsed in silence
Shouts erupted from all around as the attackers made their move and the Righteous Swords fell into formation
"Breegan! Get your men over here and guard the rear!" shouted Captain Lys over the din, her harsh voice, blonde hair and eyepatch making her immediately different from the other soldiers
"Aye Ma'am!" Breegan shouted in return
With the back covered, Lys pulled her sword and charged forward with her troops, striking back at the enemy
Even after traveling miles in the desert, weary from sun and terrain, her men were the best she could hope for
After many long and arduous minutes of combat, the Righteous Swords were victorious
"Ma'am! You'll want to see this!" shouted Breegan
Lys wiped her bloodied blade on the tunic of her last kill and walked over to where her subordinate indicated
He stood up from the corpse he was inspecting and held a strange insignia in hand
"Seems our enemies had hired a band of mercenaries from Relain. Guess we proved they weren't worth the coin."
Lys snarled in anger "Those damn Coveerians. Instead of fighting themselves, the honourless scum hire mercenaries to fight for them. Take a few of the corpses and adorn their heads on pikes. Show the cowards that their hired thugs were nothing before the Righteous Swords."
Several minutes later, the band of warriors marched on once again, this time with some new decorations

Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— My world faced its end, but I refused to perish with it! So I intercepted a summoning ceremony from another world. One moment!? My summoner tried to summon a demon? Fuck it, I think it's better to break the contract and do my own thing... or not? Why is Mrs. Sacrifice hugging me? And why am I suddenly a child!? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am not entirely sure how this fiction will turn out. And I am not sure on the tags either. They may change. Bear with it. As always, how chapters turn out is up to my mood.
8 194Vritra [A Dragon Evolution LitRPG]
A death of holding no memory of the previous life into the new. An error in the system led to the birth that changed from the desired chosen reincarnation. Mixed of a spider and a dragon, born from the womb of a mother who'd immediately abandon their children. What life awaits the Spider Dragon as they level up into different stages and live in a new world of Sorcery and Sword, and now Monsters?! Trying out a LitRPG, this time more focused on building up the character and their power. Considering my initial failed attempt on a former series on a different site. Will be my main focus in releasing chapters more than once per week. The other fictions will release once or less a week considering they are shorter based stories as this one is intended for more content than a short and brief few novels. Thank you readers for checking out Vritra. Please give feedback on ways that I can grow my form of writing to fit in your engagement and understanding. Trying to get better and soon will have more time to type down words compared to these past weeks. Inspired by: Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka?, Salvos, Danmachi, Sword Art Online, Mushoku Tensei, and a few select others CoverArt by Asviloka https://www.royalroad.com/profile/108594 *CoverArt is a depiction of how Vritra envisions himself one day*
