Senior Leader Tut sat there at the Hall in Chimera City as the new Lord
took his place on the revered seat. The new Lord name was Jedi and Keo; the
pretender to the seat but now a supporter of the new Lord. Lord Yurt and Meno
have been removed from their command and fed to the Ryu. Carin who was
protecting the previous Lord now hung at the tree by the river for the carrions
to feed. Alongside the dead carcass was the deposed Lord Setra, whose tongue
and eyes were removed.
"Hibagon, I am not keen on taking over your land, but your presence
here is also not welcome." Jedi made his point across to the Hibagon
leader. "But your wish to removed these rebels of your land, would be
given to you. You may march on my land, but once you have done the task, you
would withdraw immediately."
Senior Leader Tut
stood up and bowed. He walked out of the Hall to meet his surviving warriors;
six of them still stand waiting for his command. He was approached by his new
aide, Yuri with news that Leader of the Senior Intai; the One Eyed Leader was
marching to the land with an reinforcement of a hundred warriors. Leader Intai
would arrived by next sunrise."
"They would
meet us at the river and resumed the chase." Senior Leader Tut sighed on the
news. Not only did they failed in the battle, now Tut may even lose the command
of the Hibagon.
"Relay the
message to Leader of the Senior Intai, that I was missed in the Hall. Tell to
the leader that I have pursed the rebels." Tut informed the aide and left
with the other warriors.
Lord Jedi was
advised that the Hibagon have left for the forest to pursue the slaves. The
Lord shrieked out in delight on the news, and then proceeded to called on
Leader Keo.
"Keo, your
collaboration with the Hibagon have left me with an intention to removed your
limbs, but being my blood kin; I have a task for you to recovered your
honor." Lord Jedi gave the new command to the Leader. "Take a column
of a hundred warriors and pursued the slaves. Removed them from my land or do
not returned."
"If there are
any Hibagon in the path, removed them too." Lord Jedi continued in the
command.
Once Keo have left
the Hall, the slaves carried in the recovering Leno, without the ability to
walk or swing on the vines. Leno was set on the seat in the Hall to faced the
new Lord.
"Leno, my own
blood kin." Lord Jedi greeted the newly arrived crippled Nihonzaru in the
Hall. "I have spared Keo and granted new task of removing the rebels to
Keo."
"Lord
Jedi..." Leno replied in a weal voice, "those rebels saved and
brought me back here. May I asked that they be spared to leave the land?"
Lord Jedi was
angered by the request but the one whom requested was its blood kin. It turned
on its side on the seat and then looked at the recovering kin. It nodded to the
request, but the command was never given. It was only heard in that Hall. Leno
was caried back to the chambers while Lord Jedi gave new command.
"Send a
column of three hundred to the rebel camp. Destroy all that was there."
At the river,
Leader of the Senior Intai arrived at the river bank with the column of a
hundred warriors. It was met by Tut's warrior, Yuri who carried the news to the
marching column. Leader Intai took the news with anger and ordered the
execution of the Hibagon warrior.
"Spare me, my
Leader." Yuri went on its knees. "I can lead you to the Leader Tut. I
am the best tracker in the column. I also knew the location of the slave
camp."
With that, Yuri
was spared and led the column across the river towards the camp of the slaves.
Once across the river, Leader Intai split the column into two; ninety to
marched to the slave camp with Yuri, while the others would followed Leader
Intai to capture Tut for the revolt against Lord Zethre.
Not all the
servants and warriors of Lord Noriake wanted to leave with Taisa Mori; they
wanted to die with their Lord. The new group who left with Taisa Mori were
Gunso, Teishin, Bento and Sun. Edo and three farmers of which one was Iza who
now could walked. The eight freed slaves which survived the battle also tagged
along. There were also Lady Ayuse and Noki. Nineteen of them made their marched
out of the forest area.
