(Third Person POV)
"Qhorvos!!" someone shouted, "Qhorvos, our men are being slaughtered!!!"
From inside the ruined building, three men walked out. Two of them were wearing iron armor, with only the shoulder-plating missing. The third was wearing leather armor and had a bow on his hand.
"What is going on?" the archer said, "What's all this ruckus?"
As they walked outside, they saw that several of their men were on the ground, dead in the distance.
"The fuck is this?" one of the armored men said, "Oi, Qhorvos! They're right, our men are dead!"
They watched as Ellion was several dozen meters away, clashing with the other men. The sounds of the clashing steel resounded through the air as the men shouted battle cries.
"Shwing! Clank! Clink!"
The archer raised his bow, nocking an arrow as Ellion was cutting men down like nothing.
"Who is this guy?" he said as he drew the string, "I'm going to...."
He fired the arrow, shooting it right at Ellion, who was busy fighting. As the arrow reached him, Ellion stopped and caught the arrow with his bare hand.
"W-What?!" The archer exclaimed
Ellion slowly turned his head towards them, giving them a mocking smirk as he snapped the arrow in half. As he did this, several unarmored men rushed towards him, swinging their swords at him.
"Ahhh!!" One of them shouted
Ellion dodged the blade with blinding speed, appearing as a blur as he swung his blade at them, cleaving through their limbs one by one as he suddenly passed through them. Blood sprayed all over the air as he looked at the three men.
The archer shot another arrow at him, nocking another one almost right away. Ellion had deflected the arrow and slowly walked towards them.
"Heh...." He simply said as he made his way towards them
One of the two men looked to the side, seeing more of their men coming out of seemingly nowhere, rushing at Ellion. They swung their swords at Ellion, who immediately parried and clashed with them. As he did this, Ellion was increasingly more agile, dodging attacks far faster and countering with swift but heavy swings.
As he cut their men down, a tall and long-haired individual walked out of the building. He was followed by two other men in iron armor, making their way towards the first three.
"What is going on?" the man said as he reached them, "Why the fuck are our men dead?"
"That one is killing them," the archer said, "Qhorvos."
Qhorvos looked at Ellion, clashing and cutting his men down, covered completely in their blood as he looked at them with a menacing stare.
"Tch..." Qhorvos said, "It's just one man, who had no armor."
"We know." one of the other men said, "But he's cut all of them down by this point; he's no slouch."
As Ellion stopped cutting the men down, he stepped to the side and looked at them with a smirk.
"You ready?" He said, "I intend to cut your heads right off."
"As if." Qhorvos said, "Cutting dozens of men down that have no armor is one thing. Try dealing with men who are clad in armor."
"Ah." Ellion said as he stepped forward, "You're right, that would be quite the pain to deal with. Armor....."
Qhorvos gestured at his men to rush him and so they did, two of the armored men rushing at Ellion as they drew their swords. They swung at him and Ellion simply parried them back to back, stepping back as they pressured him.
Ellion, however, had a slight smirk on his face as this happened, "Hehe..."
"You can't fight us both at once, especially since we're armored!" one of them said
Ellion raised his blade defensively, a certain glint appearing on his eyes, "My blade can't normally cut through armored opponents." He said with a chuckle, "I've done nothing but cut flesh up until now.....but....."
As one of them struck his sword, a strange spark emitted from Gloriosa. Then, in a swift motion, Ellion swung his blade at the men, who were lined up perfectly next to each other.
"Counter-Stroke"
Suddenly, both men were cleaved through, their upper bodies separated from their lower halves. They didn't know what happened, they simply collapsed to the ground, dead.
As the others watched, Ellion stepped back as he rubbed his neck, "Ahh...." He said, "Iron armor? Not a problem for me. After all, I have armament haki. I can cut flesh with mine Blade of Aggression, but armor? Not really. But armament haki is used for that!"
"What is he saying?" The archer fired an arrow at him
Ellion tilted his head, dodging the arrow, "Hm....." He said with a smirk, "I count six more insignificant gnats in the area. Including the man himself, worth 700 gold dragons."
"700?" Qhorvos said, "You're going to have to work for them!!"
"I plan to." Ellion smirked,
"But at the end, your head is coming right off!"
*************
[A Day Later]
Ellion dropped a large chest in front of the Lannister Knight, "Here you go." He said, "Oh and....."
He pulled out two bloodied sacks, dropping them on the ground next to the chest.
The Lannister Knight blinked, "What?"
Ellion gestured at the chest and sacks, "The bounties." He said, "I'm done. I've gone ahead and gone around the area, cutting down any other bandits nearby."
"Uhm..." the knight said as he looked around at his men, "well...."
Ellion had arrived at the camp, noticing that there was an unusual amount of movement. He deduced that today was the day that they had planned to launch an attack to the bandit group. But that was no longer necessary, as he had dealt with the matter himself. He had cut down Qhorvos and his group, cutting their heads off and bringing them to the camp as proof.
As the knight was standing there, baffled that Ellion had returned alive and covered in blood, a tall blonde man approached them.
"What is going on here?" he asked, a serious look on his face
Ellion looked at the man, seeing that he resembled Tywin Lannister. The man was wearing the Lannister armor along with a gold and red cloak on his back, signifying some sort of importance.
"Lord Tygett." the knight said, "This one claims he killed the bandits."
"Tygett...." Ellion muttered as he narrowed his eyes
Tygett reached Ellion and the chest, "The bastard." He said as he kicked the chest over, causing it to open, "Hm....."
Heads rolled out of the chest, covered in cuts and blood. This surprised those who were in the vicinity; some gagged in response.
Ellion looked at Tygett as the Lannister Lord was looking at the head, "Like what you see?"
"Hm." Tygett said, "I haven't seen the man known as Qhorvos myself, but some have. They will confirm if he's any of these heads. But, something tells me that I won't get to shed blood today. I don't know if I should punch you or congratulate you, bastard."
"Do as you please, My Lord." Ellion said
Tygett looked at him, "You went at it alone and survived?"
Ellion nodded, saying nothing.
"Hm." He said, "I will inform Lord Tywin."
"Go and get cleaned up."
