The Kingsman Military Formation in Blood of The Ly'eath | World Anvil

The Kingsman

As told by Nal'Draken

I didn't even knew these guys existed, until I had a run in with them. They are not to be trusted, I accidently got "too close" and was kicked from one side of the room to the next. I had my cheeck bruised for a solid three days.   So the Kingsman, I know, classy name. Are a elite group of like ninjas that protect my father, I didn't know they protected my father till I got that swift kick. But yeah, they protect King Narbuk.

Composition

Manpower

In total for how many there are, I'd say that there's only five. And there only needs to be five with the way that these guys move, hit, and do some serious damage if you get to close to the name. They usually are on standby until the King gives and order to them, but that doesn't mean that you can see them, oh no. They have a Rune on the back of their hands that makes them impossible to see, I saw one activate it and he just shimmered out of existence. His footprints on the other hand were not so lucky.

Equipment

Usually these guys are armed with either a sword of some kind, mostly using a Rapier, some kind of wrist crossbow, and a small bit of spellwork. I never want to go back up against these guys, one on one maybe, but not all five at the same time.

Tactics

If you're unlucky enough to get them all at once, then they will group up around you and start using their fists. One will strike you into another, and then another, and another, until you're caught in this loop of rapid fast punches that you can't get out of. Unless you're me that is, I was able to just teleport out of in and do some unsavory actions.
Now if you're lucky enough to face them mono on mono then you might stand a better chance, they switch between their rapiers and wrist crossbows in a way that is difficult to pick up. While they're trying to do this, you end up getting backed up, and if you're unlucky, into a wall or corner you can't get out of. Personally what I would use against them is one quick draw to their chest and then drain them of their Essence to make sure they stay dead.

Training

I don't know where they got their training but I would assume it's from other Kingsman that work for other Kings or even Queens. . . Hmm, the Queensman? Nah.
