Chapter 8 - The War/Pt 1.

Columbia / Darien Province: 1548

It's been three months since me and my 10 man an woman squad arrived at the land that will be named columbia hundreds of years from now but during the three weeks before we've arrived I have been training my 10 man and women squad relentlessly, even so much so that they even began to beg me to let them rest which I ended up doing so they wouldn't die on me during our trip to the darien province since I need them and also during these three months I have been seemingly encountering alot of pirate attacks who all didn't put up a good fight and ended up with me killing them in the end which made me question myself morally because when I did kill them I didn't throw up because if you must know I've never killed anyone in my past life so killing is new to me but I guess when It comes to my own survival I don't care what needs to be done for the sake of my survival, but again it could have just been my perk preventing me from throwing up.

(Adan's POV)

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

"HURRY IT UP WE HAVE TO SET OFF FOR THE CAMP." Said martin screaming at the top of his lungs with a serious look on his face an spit flying from his mouth, banging two swords against each other which made my 10 man and woman squad gather their things faster.

I watched as my squad gathered their things fastly and immediately started to take them off the ship and waited in position for me who picked up my bag, only to see a piece of paper was sticking out of it and grabbed it while catching two pair of golden earrings with very unique designs on it and thought with surprise "What the fuck"

I opened the piece of paper and started reading it and found out that it was from my mother which said that the earrings will benefit me greatly in future and that she and my sister will wish me victory and luck and will pray for my return.

I ripped the paper and threw it into the ocean and turned my attention back to the unique earrings and put it into my storage while thinking calmly "Status"

[DING!]

[STATUS]

[Name: Adan Alfonso De Niebla]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 10]

[Health: Healthy]

[Perks: Perfect Health]

[Skills: [Etiquette: Master], [Swordsmanship: Intermediate], [Horsemanship: Intermediate], [Psychiatry: Grandmaster]

[Titles: [Sir Adan], [Bastard Of The Count], [Black Horse shit]

[Storage: [Money: 10,464,126], [Wine Cup], [Earrings Of Diaz]

"Earrings of diaz" I thought confusedly while mentally tapping on the name that was displayed on the status window which made the screen change.

[Earrings Of Diaz: The earrings of diaz are a pair of earrings that have been passed down through the extremely wealthy merchant diaz family for generations and what makes these earrings so special is that only the head of the diaz family can wear them or the successor that is chosen to succeed him]

I had a very surprised look on my usual stoic face and thought with my suprise fading just as quick as it came "This is very good I need to thank my mother when I get back beacuse this will be very helpful for my future self I can just feel it"

I secretly took the earrings back out of my storage while dismissing my status window and one by one immediately punctured them into the lobes of both of my ears which felt like a little prickle and didn't hurt or bleed but instead healed around them thanks to my to my perk.

"Sir adan everything is ready to go." Said martin, coming over to me who was still on the ship.

I nodded at him and grabbed my bag that I obviously didn't really pick up beacuse I was reading the letter that my mother wrote to me, and started leaving the ship with martin following behind me.

As I left the ship while putting my bag over my shoulder an walked to the front of my squad with martin following closely behind me and looked at each and everyone of them and said calmly but loudly "Now everyone I can see you survived the ocean and the constant pirate attacks but don't get to cocky beacuse this is only just the beginning, take a look around you and look very closely."

My squad men and women started looking around themselves and realized that their wasn't any horses or carriages and realized we were about to cross this harsh landscape of the darien gap on foot and we're about to freak out and start crying , only for martin to step forward but me to lift my left hand which indicated for him to step back.

Martin stepped back behind me again with me nodding at him in approval and looked back at my cowardly squad again and said loudly with venom obviously about to come out of my mouth "SILENCE YOU PIECE OF SHITS, THIS IS WAR WHICH HAS NO USE FOR CRYING OR ANYTHING RELATED YOUR EMOTIONS IT'S EITHER KILL OR BE KILLED AM I UNDERSTOOD."

"YES, SIR ADAN." Said my squad loudly in unison, standing tall which made martin behind me smile.

I nodded in approval and gripped my sword with my right hand that was sheathed on my my waist and started walking in the direction of the camp site which will take 2 to 5 days to get their while saying to martin calmly "Let's start moving."

"START MOVING IMBECILES." Said martin screaming at the top of his lungs while following behind me and my squad also following suit with all having their hands gripping their swords and bows while watching their sure for any surprise attacks.

Timeskip: 3 days later.

It's been 3 days since me and my squad arrived in the land that will be named columbia hundreds of years from now and since then me and my squad have been traveling on foot towards the direction of the camp site even crossing lakes and swamps in the jungle but occasionally took breaks when my squad got tired but was always on alert for any sudden attack.

(Adan's POV)

"Are we almost their, sir adan." Said a whiny girls voice right next to me with her arm hooked with mines.

I calmly looked at susana who was next to me with her arm hooked with mines and said "We have two days left before we arrive now get back in formantion before I make you."

Susana suddenly smirked and hugged my arm tighter with it being between her developing chest and said with a smirk "Aww…sir adan are you sure you don't want to enjoy the warmth of a maiden."

"I'm not sure you can be called a maiden since there's nothing to enjoy in the first." I said calmly while forcibly snatching my arm away from hers and turned my attention back towards my very quiet surroundings, feeling something was off.

Susana was so shocked and suddenly turned angry and screamed "HOW DA…"

*CRUNCH*

I swiftly covered her mouth with my hand and signaled for my squad to stop moving and looked in the direction of where I heard the sound come from and said calmly to susana "Get back in formation before I use you as bait."

Susana immediately ran to the middle of the formation with her hand gripped on her bow and started scanning her surroundings with a serious look on her face which made the other girls in my squad to snicker at her but immediately got serious again from a look that martin gave them.

I started slowly unsheathing my sword while making my way closer to where I heard the sound while thinking "Is it a bandit"

"REVEAL YO…" I said loudly, only to immediately get cut off.

*BANG*

*SPLAT*

*Boom*

"AHHHHHHHHHH." Said loud screams coming from behind me.

"DON'T BREAK FORMATION UNLESS YOU VALUE YOUR FUCKING LIFES." Said martin screaming at the top of his lungs with bloodshot eyes which snapped my squad back to reality, reminding them that their not dead yet and immediately got back into formation, obviously valuing their own life's.

My eyes were wide in shock and looked behind myself to make sure my squad was ok and seen my squad was still in formation and looked at the ground at a boy who I obviously don't know, was laying on the ground with blood splurting from the middle of his forehead.

Suddenly I heard crunching sounds coming from the forest and immediately became alert again and looked and seen 20 men coming out of it with a varities of old and new weapons and seen a very old looking muscular man with an axe that looked to be the leader.

"What the actual fuck, are these vikings" I thought with a surprised look on my face, looking up at the 7'3 old wide smiling man.
