Chapter Twenty-one
THE PALACE OF OYO EMPIRE
Ezemuo comes into the king's chamber smiling with all happiness imputed on his face.
"My king, I have found THE BLACK AXE OF DARKNESS. Infact, I have it in my possession"Ezemuo said smiling.
"Wow! That's good news"Oba said.
"Yes my king. Real good news. With it,I am a hundred percent (100%) sure we are going to win this war"Ezemuo said.
"What does THE BLACK AXE OF DARKNESS really do?"Oba asked.
"Ezemuo stretched forth his hand and an axe surrounded by strong dark magic appeared. Immediately,it appeared the sky turned dark, giving birth to a dark aura.
"With this,I can weaken the powers of the gods. It is not supposed to kill the gods but to weaken their powers. All I just need to do is to activate it's aura"Ezemuo said and the axe disappeared.
"That's very good"Oba said.
Suddenly,a guard bursts into the chamber bowing down.
"My king, someone broke into the dungeon last night and went away with the Omega's mother"the guard said with head bowed down.
"What ! where were the guards when someone broke in?"Oba asked angrily.
"They slept off my king"The guard said.
"It's the Omega"Ezemuo said
"Gather all the soldiers of the other ten empires and let them camp at Dahum desert. As for the six million (6,000,000) soldiers of Oyo, gather them around Dahum empire, because we are going to ambush"Ezemuo said.
"You mean,we should allow the soldiers of the other empires to take the fall and once the soldiers of the other empires are defeated, you weaken the powers of the gods,then we ambush"Oba said.
"Yes my king. That's a splendid idea"Ezemuo said smiling while the guard left.
THE KINGDOM OF DAHOMEY
Chris and Christoph had both successfully rescued Rose, Chris's mother. They went back to Dahomey kingdom to get ready for the war. Particular had appeared to them, he told them to match over to the desert of Dahum along with the soldiers of DAHOMEY. According to him, the soldiers from the other empires had camped there. When they had both got back to Dahomey, they with the help of Fiona gathered the one hundred and fifty warriors (150) placing them in three groups under a leader. Chris was the leader of the first group of (50), while Christoph led the second group of (50) and Fiona led the last remaining (50).
Matching out of Dahomey, the women and children of Dahomey sang praises to the Omega and Confessor. If looking at it,one hundred and fifty soldiers matching out against over seven hundred thousand (700,000) soldiers from other empires,it is impossible for any Dahomey soldier to survive. Even with the numbers of soldiers from other empires, the soldiers from Dahomey still matched out without fear to war. Getting to the borders around the desert by night fall, they camped over there waiting for the 🌞 sun to rise.
"Brethren of Dahomey !"Chris called out the night before they attacked.
"Yes commander !"the soldiers shouted back answering their call.
"We may be small,we may not have the best warriors. We may not have the best weapons, but we have a people to protect. For years,we the people of Dahomey have been maltreated and cast out by our own brothers and sisters. We say no more to all this. Do not fear, do not be afraid. The gods have heard our cries and we have the backing of the gods. We shall conquer Oyo empire and all the other empires that are against Dahomey kingdom"Chris said addressing the soldiers and the soldiers gave a loud shout.
The next morning even before the sun could ride, the Dahomey soldiers in the lead of the three commanders , Chris, Christoph and Fiona, marched over the soldiers from the other empires and attacked.
