“Take cover" Mox shouted, hiding himself behind the wagon.

Bullets followed soon, entering the hardened wood of the wagon. The new group of men that arrived at the scene didn't spend anytime before started to shoot.

“Try that get them alive. Kill them if they resist!” a voice shouted from the middle of the small army, probably their leader.

From the way they acted, the formation, the way of shooting, the discipline in their ranks, you could see that these men were military trained.

“The Silver Guard,” every member of the Black Foxes thought.

“Why the hell are so many Silver Guard dispatched here?" Mox asked the wounded Silver Guard from the wagon.

“Wouldn’t you like to know" the silver guard answered in a hoarse voice, struggling to say the words. A drop of blood trickled down his chin, from the corner of his mouth.

Mox gave him a look that meant death and shot his gun. The Silver guard member died with his eyes opened. Mox wasn’t a man with a golden heart. If the guard didn’t want to talk, there wasn’t any point in keeping him alive.

“Mox, they are coming from the sides as well" Mike told him with a concerned look on his face.

“I’ll take two men and cover the right. Tell your brother to go to the left. Try your best to keep this wagon. I’ll look for opportunities to retreat.” Mox gave his orders and went to cover the right.

Tegway, the native that was present at the meeting when the raid was settled, followed him together with another man.

“I had a feeling that this would happen.” Tegway complained to Mox.

“Now it’s not the time my friend!" Mox answered hastily, while shooting at the men that were approaching.

Around 10 men were coming from that side. They positioned themselves in a long shooting line and they were shooting in salves. Mox and his men could barely take a good shot over one of them because of this good organization.

“Fuck, I got hit!" George, the second man that followed Mox, shouted.

“How bad is it?” Mox asked.

“It’s the right arm. Goddamit" George couldn't help to curse, holding his arm that was looking like a bloody river.

Mox looked around. The enemy started to approach them little by little. There wasn’t too much time to spare. In the blink of the eye Mox took a crazy decision.

“George, retreat to the back and take care of that arm. Tegway, cover my back"

“What are you planning to do?” tegway asked.

“This!" Mox said while leaping out into the open.

This move took the approaching enemy by surprise. Before they managed to react Mox crossed the field to the nearest man and shot him.

He took cover behind a rock while reloading his gun. He could hear the shouts of the guard that was nearby. Mox made a sign to Tegway to shoot in that direction while he rolled over into the open once again, unloading his gun on that position. The guard didn’t stand a chance.

Mox took cover behind a small rock. He looked at his empty rifle and threw it on the ground. While catching his breath, he took his two handguns from his belt and checked the bullets. Then he took a deep breath and left the coverage.

Running at his fastest speed, he crossed the field shooting left and right. Until he reached the end of the enemy line.

“Game over!" he said while putting the last two bullets in the man.

The remaining guys were now like sitting ducks. Mox and Tegway picked them up one by one, killing them or taking them out of the action.

“Phew!" Mox wiped his forehead with the sleeve, panting hard. He couldn't remember when he had to run like this.

But while the right flank was cleared of danger, the center was dire. The bulk of the enemy was there and the men that were defending there were all hit in a way or another.

“The right is clear, we can retreat through there" Mox said, taking command. “First, the injured"

“Fucking hell!" Mike's voices could be heard, trembling from horror.

“What is it now?” Mox said with a hint of exasperation in his voice.

“They got a fucking cannon!" the answer came, leaving everyone speechless.

Booom!!

It didn’t take long for a cannon ball to arrive in the middle of them.

In the last chapter we found out that Mox and his gang had fell into a trap. That trap consisted in a small detachment of Silver Guards, guard that brought a fucking cannon with them. What will happen Mox and his fellow vigilantes, now that a cannon ball fell upon them?
