"Captain Roc, this is the case,"
Done with his summary of the events that had transpired, he sat down on the ground, picking up the water bag next to him and sipped a few mouthfuls.
"I just went out not far and suddenly I was stopped by a man from the Cloud tribe. I was scared to death at the time! At that moment he said that he was Leopard and they were against Wolf leader. It seems that while we were shooting arrows at the charging Wolf and his men, Leopard and 7 others with him had quietly gone to free our brothers and got our salt before escaping. Leopard retreated towards the swamp and was waiting for us."
Roc had a happy look after hearing something this unexpected. He never would had expected that things would develop in such a way. He was worried about an ambush from Leopard but he had no choice but to trust the word of his man that Leopard really wanted to help them.
That was the only chance he had to save his men.
