" well I guess me and him have not really had the time to really talk yet since when he arrived !"

Brandon answered with great difficulty, and the gang looked at him weirdly

" so where is he at now, don't you want to know why he left in the past or why he never bothered writing back to his only son after all this years? "

And as usual Arthur was the first to question his brother (Brandon) about his attitude of evading a proper conversation with his father

" is not as if I don't want to talk with him but we all know that my father has a title, and when I was small he always talked about how he wanted his child to continue his legacy and become a great spearman even better than him "

" and am his only child but am the wrong person to ever follow up that legacy, since I already followed the path of the sword already, and this is why I have been trying to evade a proper conversation with him since if he ever brings it up I would be in a tight spot like this and won't be able to answer "

" luckily for me the elders called for a meeting to welcome him back and being the fourth elder and being back in the clan he had to follow through with his duties again after abandoning it after many years which has been able to buy me few minutes to myself to think about what am going to say to him, when he does ask . "

Brandon for the first time expressed his worries to his friends as he talked about the thing that was really bothering him from having a proper conversation with his father

" I don't want you to worry yourself with situations like this, I have stayed and travelled with your dads for a few days and I can tell you this, he is a very good man, though he always act tough but am sure he is pure on the inside and would like you for who you have become no matter which path you follow "

" now I see that I have put you in a very delicate situation by asking you about something like this, forgive me brother!"

Alec said as he placed his hand on Brandon's shoulders as he tried to reassure him about his father's personality

" now that is out of the way I think there is another discussion we really need to talk about " Agnes said

" and what is that? "

" are you ready to participate in the next month blood moon attack?" Agnes questioned making Alec looked at her with a blank expression

" I might not act sharp but I am wise enough to know that only one blood moon has occurred after our last battle Involved and if am not mistaken, our clan was given a two month holiday away from activities like that, or am I wrong?"

" Well the thing is that the city lost woefully in the last Blood Moon War and that is the reason why they are cutting our holidays fast from two months to one months "

Alec : "..." what the fuck happened in just few days I was away ( Alec's thought's)

" from the suprised look on your face I can be assured that no one has really told you anything about the last Blood Moon attack, tell me did you see the city gates when you were coming? "

" yes I did, me and old Fourth made us passed through the North gate" Alec answered her question fast

" Well the North Gate is not that affected as the amount of goblins there were not that much due to the new gate, but how was the situation of the gates there" Agnes asked again

Alec : "..."

" Well it looks like it was about to fall apart if it's not worked on soon but I didn't really take that to heart since I know that's the situation the gate is always in after every serious blood moon battle" Alec answered

" Well let me break it down for you, you see that gate at the south is ten times worst than the one at the north and different corpses are still being filtered as they want to make sure they are given to the right clan for burial"

Agnes finally broke down the bad new to Alec making him quite suprised at the turn out of things, he could not understand how the city lost so woefully

He was quite skeptic of her claims so he looked towards Brandon and Arthur and they also nodded there head in agreement to what she had said

" this all sounds serious, what happened!? , elaborate everything for me"

Alec said as he finally sat down among one of the chairs in the courtyard as he listened to Agnes narrate how the the new clans in the cities and some selfish old clans in the city all decided that they were going to be leading the attack on there own

And the city lord had allowed it allowing his city guards and guardians guard the city gates with going out, a full fifteen clan had waited on the south gate waiting for the Goblins to show up, as they hoped to annihilate them the same way you did but

The goblins might be stupid at the lower tier but the higher Tier had much better knowledge and we're able to learn from there mistakes

and the Hobgoblin who led them previously was not stupid as he came with counter measures against attacks like the one we used against them previously and he made sure to come with extra numbers and more stronger middle Tier rank Goblins

Killing was quite easy as what happens could be said to be pure massacre, and it was as if they were given an information that the occupants of the other cities have evacuated to Estonia city

So the wasted no time going to those gate and focused all there attention at or direction making the force attacking us the force of three different Goblins clans breaking those two gates and useing the energy to open another gate at the north and also power up the gate at the north to allow more Mid Tier goblins to pass through

So it was not as peaceful as the war Alec participated in where only the low Tier mages fought

It was the real definition of battle royale of all ranks from (low) Tier 1 to (high) tier 6, the clans were lucky to have some life saving treasures and that was why they were able to survive the war with loses and casualties and not annihilation

Though they were defeated and had to run back to the city gates when it was almost the ending hours of the Blood Moon, and the city guards who had not fought any battle since the starting of the Blood Moon where at the gate and were able to defend against the Goblins since they still had there stamina intact, and they did it beautifully without no losses

the Goblin Madly charge at the gates but the city guards kept them at bay from a distance aways till the blood moon ended and they had to run back to there gate before it closes up , with the Hobgoblin promising to come up with a plan to tear the walls the next time he comes back.
