Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: To Oro

They were halfway away from Oro, and Nas was constantly scouting back and forth to be sure no one was left behind, Therold made his four-scout party consisting of 20 men, they were scouting all sides, they formed a square and all four were guarded by the scouts who were constantly scouting nearby areas of potential Weggros attack, but it was a flat land there was not a single Weggro in sight.

Therold was trying to be as far from the forest area as possible because their Weggros are so clever and they were best at ambushing you in there. The forest is the most feared area of the kingdom.

Therold on the other hand was thinking about the Scouts, there was no word of them, they were meant to meet them now but Therold was scared he thought that they were ambushed or what but Therold kept a hold on his thought and said to himself, 'What are you thinking so negatively get a hold on your self.'

Finally, some moments later the Scouts arrived, Therold gave a hand for the Caravan to stop, as the Scout came forward and said to him, 'My lord, ahead of you is safe you may continue your journey.' but Therold asked him, 'Where are Gastat and Aster?.' the leader of the Scout hesitated but he said in Therold's ear, 'We were clearing a forest nearby when we came across a band of Weggros and Aster was injured and Gastat fainted, they are sent to Rastiq, but don't worry they are safe.' Nas came and asked, 'Where are my Friend?.' but Therold lied and said, 'They are scouting the area nearby Rastiq that's why they didn't come.' but Nas knew something bad happened so he said, 'You are lying, they told me they will meet me here.' without a second thought he ran off to Rastiq, therold shouted at him to stop but he didn't, Darien said that he would follow him. Still, the scouts told them to go to Oro they would go after him. Lucia came and asked them, 'What happened? Where is he going?.' Darien replied to her, 'The scout was fighting a pack of Weggro, Gastat was injured as well as Aster, they both are safe but he thinks that we are lying.' Lucia then prayed for their safety.

Darien told Therold, 'I was kind of expecting this behaviour from him, he is his best mate more like a brother to him like Woermann was to me.' Therold replied to Darien, 'Yeah I know who Woermann is, Nas once told me about him, my brother Fergo, he is in our Capital Valasaline, I wonder how he's doing there?.' Darien said some comforting words to calm the troubled Therold down, 'He will be doing great.' but Therold suddenly asked him a question, 'How do you know?.' to which Darien replied by saying, 'Heart, my heart says so!.' and they began their journey to the Village.

When they arrived at the village, Therold sent some of the personnel scouts he made to check the village for any potential ambush.

Finally, exactly an hour later the Scouts returned and said to Therold, 'My Lord, it's clear, we have checked every nook and cranny.' then Therold gave the signal and People finally poured inside the village, and the scouts and the armies gave the houses to everyone. The structure of the village is like, 

They entered from the south gate, so on the right side is the house, named Block #2 and right close to it is the Hospital.

On your left, it's the River which runs from the side of the south gate to the west gate. There are two farms connected to the river, one on the south side and the other on the west side which also has a Barn.

There is a second block of house two, named Block #1 which is the opposite of Block #2, and in the Middle is the Announcement area, with the Market.

They had 100,000 soldiers with them so they were divided, and 25,000 were stationed on each side. 

After some time, the people gathered at the Announcement area, where Therold said, 'As soon as we leave for Kurnu, to retake it, your Elder will be decided, as for now, I'm your Elder.'

After that, the people went to their houses. Therold was also given a house where he took a bath, put on some comfortable clothes and lay on the bed, 'Oh Gastat and Aster, I hope you all are safe, Fergo, Gero, Moro and Mego, I pray that all of you are safe.' as he slept within a second.
