At the dawn of a new day, the sky is painted purplish red. Jamal arrived at the military camp and strolled around to check the condition.
The first place he visits is stable. After living in the jungle for many years, he has a special ability to communicate with the animal. When the horses saw Jamal, they nodded to pay respect towards him.
Seeing the friendly horses, Jamal patted on them, "How are you all today?". From their teary eyes, he realized that the troops have not been feeding them well. He looked at the fodders and frowned.. "Ugh! The food is rotten!" Jamal magically transformed the low-quality fodder into fresh and high-quality fodders.
Not long after, he untied the horses and open the doors to let them out. The horses stomp out from the fodders and eat happily. Jamal noticed they were thirsty as well. He wondered why the horses do not want to drink the water that the troops have provided them.
He gets on a stallion. The harras of horses galloped toward the stream. "Ahmed, this is where they get the waters to drink. These human beings dump the dead bodies here and they get the waters from here to drink too." The stallion explained to Jamal why they do not want to drink the water.
He turned his head to look at the stream shore, he saw a mountain piled of naked, decomposed, female corpses. He shook his head "Do you know why they dispose of the dead body here?" He asked the horses.
"Those troops raped these women. Some of them commit suicide, some of them were abused to death. After they died, they are not bothered to give them a proper burial. Just dump the dead body at the shore." The horse responded to Jamal.
Jamal exhaled a deep breath and yelled, "Disgusting human being! Let's go back to the camp, I will teach them a lesson they will never forget!" The harras of horses turned and gallop back to the military camp.
Upon arrival at the camp, He got down from the horse and instructed them, "Now, go lookout for clean water to drink. I will sort this out. Remember to come back later to the camp. I will make sure they feed you all well."
Jamal walked into the armoury and opened a few of the chests to check the weapons. His eyes protruded when he saw the weapons, blunted, rusted and made of low-quality material. He exhaled a deep breath and stomp out from the armoury.
When the sky turned bright, Jamal uses a drum stick to hit on the drum bell hard repetitively. The troops woke up from the noises, with their eyes half-opened, the crawl back to their bed to sleep. It drives Jamal angry. He barged into the tent to hit the drum near their ears. They became annoyed and woke up in anger.
They screamed at Jamal, "Who are you and why are you making a lot of noises?"
The captain glared towards Jamal, "Have you gone senile? You just walked into a tiger den!" He instructed the troops to arrest Jamal.
Jamal screamed, "Get everyone to assemble right away!"
"Who are you? There is no place for you to speak here!" The troops yelled at Jamal.
Jamal took out a regimental badge to show them. They gasped in shock when they found out he has a higher ranking than the Marshall. They quickly walked out of the tent to line up according to their position.
Jamal looked at the captain, "Where is the general?" He asked.
The captain replied, "Sir, he is in the tent over there." He used his index finger to point at the tent that the General is sleeping...
He grabbed the sword from the pole and barged into the tent. The captains and the troops got freak out when they saw him holding a sword. They quickly followed him from behind.
When he entered the tent, he saw the general is still sleeping. On his left, a young woman is wearing an undergarment. On his right, there is another young woman, topless.
Jamal throws the sword to the bed that the general is sleeping on. It landed an inches away from the general's face, standing robustly and pierced into the bed.
The general flashed open his eyes and his eyes bulged when he saw the sword is just an inches away from his nose. The ladies jumped and quickly use the blanket to cover their skin.
The general slammed on the bed, "Who the hell are you?!"
Jamal took out the regimental badge and showed it to the general. The general realized he is the new commander, he stood up slowly and smiled at Jamal.
"From now on, I will be in charge of the military," Jamal announced. "Everyone gathered in the field in 10 minutes. Whoever be late will be punished."
At a hastened pace, they rushed towards the field to line up.
Exactly ten minutes later, Jamal begins to bombard the general and the captains.
"Firstly, I came today without warning because I believe this is the best way to check on you all. When I arrived this morning to looked at the check the situation. I have to say that I am very disappointed in all of you."
"The stables. How can you all feed the horses with rotten food? Who is in charge of the stable?" Jamal asked.
The general explained, "The queen has cut down the military budget. Because of this, the troops here including myself are eating rotten food!"
Jamal asked, "When I visit the stream today, I found many corpses there. Do you not realized the corpses had contaminated the water and you all still drinking them?"
The captain argued, "After eating the rotten food, we barely have the energy to lift the shovel."
Jamal stared at the captain. He realized the troops are trying to blame everything on Queen Aliyah. "I will discuss with the queen and request her to increase the budget for the military."
During their discussion, a guard appeared to inform Jamal, "Sir, the people from the grand palace arrived."
Jamal spoke out in a shrill voice "The courtiers are here to prepare a nice meal for all of you. They also bring along some nice alcohol. Today, I will let you all enjoy as much as possible!"
The troops cheered happily. General and the captain felt fishy. Queen Aliyah is well known for being cruel. She can't be so nice to offer free meal and alcohol to the troops.
The general brazenly asked Jamal, "Is there a war coming?"
Everyone gave a serious stare towards the general.
Jamal nodded, "Indeed. We plan to attack Huanghe and Guangxi. But, how do you know?"
The general laughed, "Have you heard anyone calling Queen Aliyah a nice lady? Her top priority is money, not humanity. These food here will cost a bomb. I am sure it doesn't come free for us! "
Jamal ranted at them, "Do not disrespect the queen!"
The general walked toward Jamal to express his feeling, "I join the military 15 years ago. The moment I signed up, I pledged my loyalty to serve the country. We have expected to die in the battlefield. We will stand tall if the country stand tall. We will collapse when the country collapse. Kill me if you wish, it doesn't change my opinion about the queen. The new ruler, Queen Aliyah is a complete disaster to the citizens!"
Jamal ran to him to give him a punch on his face but the general managed to dodge. The general grabbed Jamal's fist.
The troops ran towards them to pull them apart. "Calm down, sir!"
The captain vented out, "The enemy gave our general a nickname, he is the legendary god of war. He is not afraid to die. But you should think twice, If he dies, does it benefit our country? It's only benefiting the enemy."
"Serving the country? Don't pretend to be kind. I saw many corpse near the stream. You all raped women and kill them. How can we trust you to protect the citizens?" Jamal argued back.
"Sir, we received instructions from Queen Aliyah to assault them sexually. The first time when we touched them, being a man of course we were excited. The general reminded us that we have mother, sister, daughters and wives waiting for us at home. Ever since he said that, we were haunted by guilt. We wanted to release them but the queen has given top order to keep them there permanently, what can we do?" The captained spoke out.
Out of a sudden, Jamal received a voice message from his master, Solaris. The voice message appeared on his mind saying, "Don't waste your time arguing with them. Just use your magic power to make them listen to you."
Jamal smiled, "Alright, you are absolutely right!.". He cast a spell on the troops to make them obedient.
