Minutes after Minos' decision, Artaud sensed his guests approaching Khiacot's hut and left the wooden building.
When he appeared in front of the hut with the body of this native, the target of Armhands, he smiled as he looked in the direction of Minos and the group of enemies coming towards him.
"Minos! Looks like you're really fearless!" said the creature when he saw Minos and the human's five companions coming from a distance.
Artaud was confident of Minos' need to win Khiacot's corpse. Without that body as proof, the Junior Officer giving him an ugly look would now not be free of the punishment handed down by the Chief Commander and would have problems gaining merit within the guild.
That's why Artaud had killed Khiacot and was now waiting for his target outside the hut where he had met this enemy of the guild a few days ago.
Minos stared at that peak Sovereign; the man was clearly confident he would win today.
