Episode 111 - Fallen Lights 2 'Nightmare'

Previous Chapter: Peace at the tribal village before alarming news hits. Elder Lin prepares to sacrifice herself to protect her village.

Day 3 - Tribal Village continuation...

Elder Lin closed her eyes shut for one brief second to control her emotions. She knew that the longer she hesitates, the shorter the time she has to prepare for the upcoming confrontation.

Hiding her emotions and putting on a serious face, she turned to Gie and with a authoritative voice, she ordered,

"Gie, get 100 men to aid the escape of all women and children. After that, split the rest of our brave men and head here," she said without looking at Gie.

Gie frowned, "Elder Lin..?" Doesn't that mean....

"What about Elder Gr-"

Elder Lin snapped at Gie with a fierce look and cut him off before he could finish, "Go!" she shouted.

Gie clenched his fists as he hesitated. He knew what Elder Lin meant when she ordered him to bring their brave men here. It meant that she would stay and defend their village until the end with their men. Despite her age and her occasional complaints about getting old and wrinkled, she was as strong as 4 navy men combined. And that was how she was chosen to be a village head despite being a woman after all. Persuading her was useless so with an uncomfortable feeling in his chest, he bowed to her before turning around to carry her orders.

Elder Lin watched as Gie left in a hurry. Without a hint of anxiousness or nervousness leaking out of her strong facade, she stood tall as she stared straight to a now-empty road that would soon be covered with blood and emotions full of agony and hatred.

That day, the blissful momentary peace they had was utterly destroyed. An estimate of 1000 armed men forcefully barged into the city and broke down the village's defense. The armed men injured anyone their way and slain those who opposed them doing whatever they wanted, to death.

The tribesmen whom Elder Lin sent as a frontline defense were all slain. Not one man from the group was alive. The brave men opposed the armed army until they breathed their last breath and managed to halt the attack long enough for women and children to escape out of the village.

Once the front defense was broken into, Elder Lin and her men commenced to carry out their defense strategy and that was knocking the armed men insensate. Though they couldn't attack they are still able to utilize one move that didn't cross the thin line of hurting a civilian; Making them sleep.

The tribal men suffered from light to grave injuries. Even after the Palace knights arrived, it was already too late. The village had been set on fire. The stupid move from the armed civilians led Zene's knights, the armed men comrades, and the tribe's people to be stuck in the village with barely anywhere to retreat to. No one was left unharmed.
