"Who are you?" Ryucown asked again.

"Gladiator."

With that simple reply, the swordsman charged at him with full speed, holding a sword with both hands.

The blow came within a inch of Ryucown's face, and he responded with a head-strike of his own. The masked Gladiator quickly distanced himself.

The wind from the high speed blows between the two raised a little whirlwind.

"A Mephius? How did you sneak in here?"

"Who knows?"

In that instant question-and-answer, the hall across them burst into chaos. Warriors garbed in the same gear as the Gladiator clashed with Ryucown's stroops. Each members of this group is a elite fighter, handpicked with the ability to fight in a chaotic situation.

Sparks flew and curses were exchanged. Shique dual-wielded twin blades, decapitated one foe after another, while the gigantic Gilliam swung his ax left and right, crushed foes even if they were in full armor.

The masked Gladiator struck again. Ryucown side-step the blow, then brought his sword down with a vertical slash.

The Gladiator deflected the blow by splitting his legs and steady his center of gravity. He then immediately use the rebound effect, in the instant Ryucown was pushed a step back, to launch a vicious attack.

"Oh, not bad."

Twice, three times, then numerous exchange, with the two locked in a stalemate.

"Tell me your name. With such skill, you must be famous."

"Who knows." Repeating the words he spoke earlier, the Masked Swordsman--Obra launched into a swinging strike.

The [GIFT] Obra spoke of at the Air Carrier bridge is princess Vileena. Believing there are traitors within the Garberan camp, as soon as his forces attacked, they (Garberan traitors) forces would coordinate with Ryucown's to counter the move.

And the spy (2) within the Garberan camp did precisely as expected. Getting close to the soldiers monitoring the princess. Thus, he was able to monitor the enemy movement. Before they take the princess off the ship, Obra launched a surprise attack to save the princess.

Soon after, in the confusion caused by Ryucown's surprise attack, Obra and his forces wore Garberan armor and took the unconscious princess off the Sky Ship, then led numerous veteran soldiers toward Fortress (伊姆堡). Ryucown's forces that was part of the surprise attack saw them coming, automatically thought their plan was a success, even escorting them into the Fortress.

Obra's heart brimmed with excitement, he is becoming the main character of the novels he read about. Everything is moving according to his plan, and now he is facing the enemy general one-on-one.

But,

(Dammit),

4th strike, 5th strike, the two warriors exchanged blows, sparks flew with every exchange.

Ryucown's skills were far greater than Obra estimated. Easily predicting his moves, the man's swords same to come from every direction. And while Ryucown's strikes appear to come from left and right with daring aggression, his never left any opening.

Pearls of sweat begin to roll off Obra's back. Since he cannot waste time here. The longer this lasts, the more enemies would be able to reach the upper floor. If following the original plan, Numerous ships should be heading toward the fortress after finishing off the main rebel force. But it is difficult for a newbie like Obra to predict how long that would take.

What he can do now, is to utilize every second available to him to dispatch Ryucown.

(2)劝诱人-Seducer? spy? will have to wait for context.
