Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: The Scouts

A group of two hundred men strong were sent out to scout the province of Elbon of any Weggro's camp, in this period the arrival of Therold made attack less, there were fewer to no camps, but no matter what, Gerald made the scout skip no duty because you can't be more careful.

The Province of "Caldara" consisted of Castle Sharaf and two villages Engorea and Engirine.

The Province of "Elbon" consisted of five villages, Rastiq, Oro, Baltal, Tisha and Rodno.

The Province of "Karnoph" consisted of five villages, Frostfall, Kurnu, Ortania, Invaldal, Krinas and One Castle Farnbord.

The last Province of "Dolis" consisted of only two villages: Bearfold and Grinor. 

Two seas encircled this province: "The Dead Sea" encircled much of Karnoph and Caldara as well as a very small portion of Elbon. The second was "The Karna Sea," which encompassed the entire Caldara and Dolis.

Their mission was to keep the route clear for the caravan of the Oronian people. Gastat and Aster were leading the scouts, 'It's my first time going out for scouting.' said Aster as he was looking at the beautiful scenery and bright sunlight, Gastat replied to him, 'Yes and it may be your last time because after Oro is occupied, most of our land will be safe and you be off your duty and live a happy life.' finally Aster asked this question to Gastat, 'Tasarai was in love with Kerunlé and he asked her and she said yes.' he stopped again and was wandering as if to say it or stay shut up, but he chooses the second option, 'You love Lucia, why aren't you asking her for marriage.' Gastat got shy and said, 'She is a wonder woman, her personality is the same as me but I fear that if I ask her she'll punch me.' Aster laughed at him badly, it took a while to control his laugh but after a struggle, he took hold of himself and told him, 'I thought you were brave, but no worries every man is weak when he has to face the woman he loves, I have already asked Adley for marriage and she said yes, you know what after we have wrapped up this mission, you will confess your love to her.' Gastat only gave a nod.

They saw a forest and had to scout it, So they went in to check it. Forming an arrow position so they can easily retreat in not-so-friendly situations, there were Archers in the middle and and best Cavalry to help them retreat.

Not even a meter into the Forest Weggros emerged out of the bushes and began to fire arrows but they had this already in their mind and no arrows caused any damage to them, they hid behind the horse, and after two to three volleys the fire stop and Weggros came out with swords and challenged them to fight. 'Bring on then, Bitches!.' Gastat shouted as they charged them and a fierce battle began.

Aster was going as bull as Gastat as he possibly could he was killing every single one he could, he kicked a Weggro in his stomach and pierced his word right through his skull, on the other side Gastat saw it and Laughed as Aster smiled,

'Aster!!!!.' shouted Gastat as he saw a spear pierced right through his stomach. He could see the pain in Aster's eyes, Gastat was mad, what would he tell Adley, what would he tell the others, Gastat was growing fond of him, but a single spear crushed Aster's dream of a family.

Gastat charged at him and jumped giving an overhead attack but the Weggro tried to defend itself his attack was so powerful that the spear broke down and Gastat's sword stuck to the skull of the Weggro. Gastat in the nick of time dodged an attack but he got cut from the lower side of the eye to the slightly top of the eyebrow.

It was a commander as it seemed, 'You will pay for this!.' said furious Gastat to the commander, and the commander replied, 'Bring on then, bitch.'

They both charged each other and there was a game of blocking each other attacks. It was a balanced duel. The scenario changed when Gastat was disarmed, as the commander attacked from above but Gastat dodged the attack and kicked him on his back, as the commander got on his knees. He again kicked him in its face as the commander lay flat on the ground, Gastat took his sword and stabbed already dead Weggro and turned him to lay on its stomach, so the other side of the Sword was clear, he then came back to the commander and turned it around and began to punch it brutally on its face, its face was covered in blood, Gastat then dragged him to his sword and the commander's face a few inches away from the sword, at the meantime, all the Weggro were eliminated, Gastat now tried his best to pierce its face to the sword, 'AH!' the Commander was constantly screaming as his death was few inches away, 'leave me alone, please I beg of you!.' but Gastat heard nothing, the only thing he heard was the screams of Adley after she will saw Aster.

Gastat then gave his full force and finished him off. he then woke up and tried to walk to Aster but due to tiredness he fell and went unconscious and no longer knew what happened.
