They continued to run towards the castle with all their might. After about 10 minutes, hundreds of footsteps could be heard from the humming.
Viny looked back and shouted as he ran. "Ehh, we really made the right decision. Look ... there are hundreds of footsteps. I hope we can reach the walls. Let's get faster."
About 4 minutes later, they arrived in front of the walls. Viny shouted,"Please open the door! Please!" The door opened after a few seconds. The 4 guards stood at the doorstep and their leader asked "How many will come from little white people? Is there anyone else besides you? How many people are you? "
Harper interrupted "We are two groups, we are four, the other group is three. We did not see the other group on the road. We hope they came."
Their leaders nodded "So you are going to join the Umra nomads?"
All four agreed. "Well, they must all be asleep right now. They will wake up in two days. Why didn't you catch up with the ceremony? It was unfortunate. Zargu, don't send them to the nomads' mansion, those are sleeping there. Take them to Giban's household. They will set out in two days anyway."
Viny stopped Zargu. He told the leader of the guards "There were sounds of hundreds of footsteps, so we ran and reached here. You will hear the sounds in a minute. They'll be here in 3 minutes. We don't know what was coming, but we ran with all our might."
The leader said with a little panic "let's get in quickly. Close the doors. Ring the third stage siren!" Everyone started running to one side. Viny and the others went to the other side of the wall with Zargu and began to wait for hundreds of red men and women who started to gather. Within a minute everyone was all together.
The chieftain and 10 chiefs arrived quickly in armor. The chieftain saluted Viny and the others as they were able to prepare early and got ahead of the gathered red men and women. "On the same day, both Jukorus and Sigors are attacking. Sigors crossed the wall last time and killed 78 people. It gets harder to defend every day. I don't want any losses today. They have waited too long since the attack 2 months ago. They must have formed a strong group. "
An army of hundreds of horsemen was coming from the other side of the wall. As the voices approached, the tribal leader looked at everyone for the last time and shouted "For per head of enemy, you get prized one handful of Jukoru meat, one handful of Sigor meat, 5 drops of silver spirit. Make good use of this opportunity. I don't want any death. Hanua!"
One of the chefs stepped forward. "Take your place in the first team!" And 20 people ran away to one side of the wall, following the chief named Hanua. The tribal leader said quickly "Seya, you get number two this time. Otel! you take number three. The others, let's go!"
Chef named Seya stepped forward and ordered "Come on!" 30 people quickly followed. Then Otel took 30 people and moved to the other side. There are 50 people left. The leader of the guards ahead of them all, saying "We will stay behind the door. We will catch up to the region in need."
7 chiefs and tribal leader stood on the walls just above the door. They were the creatures that they called Sigor from the front, which were deer down from half of the body and human above the other half, but whose eyes and scalp looked like reptiles. They had bows and arrows or spears in their hands. They were about 300.
They stopped about 1 kilometer behind the wall. They were about 2-2.5 meters in height. Their leader was 4 meters tall. Besides their leader, 4 more people were 4 meters tall. All Sigors were men. Their leader had bodyguards one to his right, one to his left, and two to his back. The Sigor to the right of their leader spoke "Your Highness, His Majesty was very angry last time when we brought too many red Akons. Our target is 20. If we can bring one of the chiefs or if we bring in the chieftain, we will certainly get a great reward."
The Sigor on the Prince's left grunted "Your Highness, I think you can shoot their leader from this point. I'll go and get his body. We don't need to hunt twenty. Let's take the tribal leader and go."
The prince glanced somewhat indifferently, then pointed back with his hand. One of the soldiers, about 2.5 meters tall, came and bent his front leg and saluted "Sir!"
"Go to the walls and find out who is the chieftain!"
On the order of the prince, he quickly started running towards the walls. One of the two men standing behind the prince, about 4 meters tall, took a 3-meter bow and handed it to the prince. Then he gave an arrow to the prince. A green light appeared on the prince's finger. This energy started to shine on the feather part of the arrow and the head. After placing the arrow on the bow, he stretched the spring. The man sent by the prince stopped 50 meters from the walls.
"Prince Ahen has a message to the Akon Leader" he shouted. The tribal leader blinked at the man and pointed to one of the chiefs next to him. The chefs on either side made gestures. Then looking at the man, the chef asked "What's his message?"
"The prince says that the emperor would be happy to see a chiefta-" and a very strong arrow shot the chief in the throat, who immediately asked the question. The soldier, who brought the message, continued his speech without distorting "-in's head at the festivities of the Sigors."
An arrow shot over the walls and entered the eyes of the man who delivered the message. Prince Ahen, after seeing his deceased man, said to his bodyguard on his left without losing his demeanor "Gilonz, Go and get the head I shot, then come! Others, Help him! Get it done quickly!" Immediately, the 300-strong army started running towards the walls, leaving only the Prince and the two bodyguards behind him.
The prince's right guard was named Buyku. "It is very simple to use this prince" Buyku told Gilonz. "Hahaha, Gilonz, I'm taking cover from the front center. When all the attacks are directed at me, kill the middleman at the top of the wall and you will give the skull to me. Keep his body with you. You give the prince what he hit. Just because we bring 20 of our prey doesn't mean we only killed 20. We will kill them all. Let's kill how many men there are. When Prince Gulga comes the next time, all his soldiers and his corpse will not return. Thus, Ahen becomes the heir to the throne." *(1)*
After Gilonz said "I'm ready" he blew the pipe in his hand. The sound of the war horn echoed everywhere. With a mighty voice Gilonz ordered "18th Battle Formation System. Tuggi and Alen 12. Attack System!"
All the Sigors shot their arrows 300 meters from the walls. The answer came from the Akons, the red people. After a few minutes of arrow shooting, they had suffered about 20 casualties on both sides.
The leader of the guards inside the wall allocated twenty of the fifty people waiting to replace the dead. There were 30 soldiers, 21 guards, and Viny's group of 4 people left.
After the arrow shots were finished, the Sigors quickly pulled their spears and started running. When they came 50 meters from the wall, they were shot with arrows from the top of the wall. A green energy shield surrounded the army of 280 men. No arrow could cross the green energy shield. When they reached the bottom of the wall, they threw the ropes on their backs and tried to climb quickly. Although a few of them fell over the walls, they got up and climbed again as if nothing had happened.
This fight lasted for four to five minutes, and around 30 Sigors were killed. Most of the remaining soldiers were on the wall. Meanwhile, the Otel, the chief of the Third Army, came out of an underground tunnel and appeared with a team of 30 behind the Prince. Since Prince Ahen never expected this, he was shot in the back with an arrow. The guards next to him were shot with 2 arrows each. The arrows did not kill directly, but they were dangerously injured. 30 people immediately attacked the trio. Ahen swept his spear out, radiating green energy in his spear. He killed 8 men at the same time.
Otel cut off the head of the bodyguard who was also an archer at this time. The other bodyguard and Ahen continued to fight with spears in their hands and killed 9 more in a few seconds. The Otel turned around and dealt a fatal blow to the other bodyguard the moment he had his first opportunity. Meanwhile, Prince Ahen, did an unexpected move, pushed his spear while following up this blow at an angle that the Otel could not defend. The spear that entered through the eyes of the Otel, came out from the other side of his head.
Although the remaining 5 people attacked Ahen with all their might, Ahen killed them all. Then he spat on the ground. He looked up towards the walls. Meanwhile, a massacre was taking place on the walls. The massacre was happening exactly on the Akons. After a while, only 6 chiefs and chieftain remained on the wall. About 100 Akons had been killed. 90 of the Sigors were killed on the city wall. About 50 Sigors jumped down the walls, facing Viny and the others and 51 red men.
A great commotion ensued. Heads and arms flew in the air. Boden cut off a Sigor's leg with his sword, Mady grabbed the spear of the Sigor, which was slotted forward. Harper cut off his head. Viny greeted the other comer and cut off his feet and sent him back to Harper to finish him. In this way, after killing 9 Sigors, 15 were left from Sigors while only 5 were left from Akons. They were 9 against 15.
A team of 7 people were killing all incoming Sigors on the wall. The moment Prince Ahen shot an arrow again and got one of the chiefs over the wall, Ahen was shot in the shoulder with a very dangerous arrow. Ahen took a few steps back and clenched his teeth. Ahen was then shot in the eye with a third arrow. When the third arrow was fired, Buyku saw the arrow, and when he followed its journey with his eyes, he witnessed Ahen's death. He was shocked.
Meanwhile, on top of the wall, Gilonz swung his spear at the tribal leader with dark energy. The tribal leader stepped back a little and kept his distance from the spear. Seya's third arrow hit Gilonz in the eye. Chief Seya had also killed Gilonz, the strongest bodyguard after Prince. One of the chiefs jumped down and swung his spear with a red energy, split 15 Sigors in half with a single spear play.
The chieftain and other chiefs killed those in the wall. Hanua and his army were waiting at the end of the road for about 40 Sigors who tried to escape. Not a single Sigor survived. The count was made after the entire battlefield was visited and the corpses were collected.
About 300 new Akons came and changed their duties on the wall.
The chieftain called everyone who fought in the war to the town square. Only 65 people remained. Two chiefs were killed. "We were ready tonight thanks to these white people We defeated them in an unexpected way. We lost 167 people in this attack. Amnesty came to all Umra nomads. The 44-person ritual group, of course, has to set out to fulfill the custom. We determined the rewards of 65 people here one by one. You white men stand out!"
The tribal leader pointed to the post-war group of servants. They chose 4 out of 11 Sigors who could use energy on the battlefield. The tribal leader summoned Boden. When Boden came to him, he cut off the head of the corpse, took a handful of blood and rubbed it into Boden's forehead. Boden clenched his teeth when his clothes ruined, but he knew how strong the Chieftain was, so he made no noise. Then they cut off the four legs of the corpse and formed a pentagon with the head. They drew their blood round and left the pieces of meat round. The tribal leader took out the heart of the corpse and put it in Boden's hand. Then he held out the silver liquid in a bowl. He poured it over his head. "You have to eat the heart immediately and endure the pain. The longer you last, the better!"
Boden quickly began to bite the heart. While eating the heart, his whole body felt a great desire, as if he were eating something of great value. He felt scorching inside as he finished his whole heart. A red energy formed in his body. Gray energies began to come out of the corners of the pentagon and enter through his mouth and nose. Boden's brain felt like it was going to explode. His breath stopped for a few seconds. He could not bear the pain. He lost consciousness after 13 seconds.
The chieftain pointed to two of the servants "Take him and carry him to Geban's house. Put his bag next to him. You come!" He pointed to Harper. Harper looked at the chieftain and called him to account "Why did he lose consciousness? Is this how you respond to those who help you?"
Scratching his beard, the chieftain replied "The silver colored liquid makes an ordinary man, a soldier of the god. It is unbelievably valuable to us. We also had eleven superhuman Sigors that could use elements. This is the best gift I can give you as a reward. If you don't want it, you know. Currently, all 6,200 people in my tribe die for it. Do you want to continue the ritual or not?"
Harper showed up. The ritual was repeated and Harper lasted 12 seconds. Mady was able to last 11 seconds. Viny also lasted 11 seconds. The chieftain shook his head unhappily. "These white people are really weak" The chieftain and the 6 chiefs on the fortification quickly performed the ceremony on themselves including the dead prince's. Despite their contribution, Seya and Hanua were rewarded not by ceremony but by giving meat. As the chiefs and chieftain fainted at the end of the ceremony, Hanua led Akons as temporary chieftain.
*(1)* [Well, Prince Ahen is the bowman guy, Prince Gulga is not here. Probably the next wave will be command by Gulga. So killing the Chieftian will make Akons angry, Gulga's little army cannot stand a bit against all army with unique power which not defined.]
