The 1st and 3rd Alpha carriages are together again going to the City of Frendo, while the second caravan is on another road going to the town of Alma. 2 Beta men are riding the third horse is set to intercept the carriage of Albert.

Felix and Carl riding on the second horse have left the fight as Carl was badly hurt.

Chiz is now pursuing Albert's carriage.

--------------

Chiz, desperate to apprehend or get Albert, jumped inside his carriage. When Albert saw this, he gave the reign to Patrice and confronted Chiz. Both were staring each other down inside the carriage. Weapons ready. They know if they make a move, someone would die because of the close proximity.

""Why do you hound us? We are but honest merchants!" Albert said.

"Honest merchants? Ha! You must be joking. You have cannons and allies that helped open the front gate of the town. You are no mere merchants. You are Alpha worshippers!" Chiz exclaimed.

"They're just concerned people who helped us. Anyone who sees this injustice happening to us good folks will help." Albert replied.

"Good folks huh? We will see about that. When we get your allies and send them to the church to be interrogated, they will spill the beans and tell us exactly where your alliances are. So even if you escape now, you are now marked and will be hunted everywhere. We will make sure to make your lives a living Hels! Surrender and if you are telling the truth, you will be let go." Chiz said.

"That's a lie and you know that. No one has gotten out of the church once they are interrogated. No one knows what happens to the people taken in." Albert said.

"They either become good citizens like me or they help the Church in other ways. I guess you really won't submit to the church. I am right all along, you are an Alpha member."

"I won't be intimitated by your baseless accusations. If you don't get our of this carriage, both of us will die." Albert said.

"Both? Haha, you will die. It's been nice knowing you Albert. Maybe I'll see you in another life." Chiz prepares to attack.

"Don't move." Albert said seriously. "Unless you want us to get blown to pieces. Jump out of the carriage if you value your life." 

Albert took his hand on his left pocket. In his hand is a Flip bomb, with a explosion radius of 10 meters. It's made of clay and has a trigger at the top. If the pin is removed, the bomb explodes. Albert has his thumb in the hole of the trigger.

"Your bluffing. You would kill yourself and your comrade? Ha! You don't have the guts to do it." Chiz replied.

"Why don't you make a move and we'll see." Albert said seriously.

They stood there unmoving for a while. 

Finally Chiz surrendered. "Pah! Both your life is not worth my life. I'll let you off the hook for now. Now I know that you are definitely an Alpha member and a crazy one at that, I will hunt you in Frendo and make sure you use all your bombs before I face you. That is, if you haven't blown yourself up by then. Enjoy your time while you still have it."

Chiz beckons his team member to come closer to left of carriage as he climbed to the top and then jumped to the horse, narrowly missing hit.

Chiz then made a rude gesture to Albert as he is move away. Albert made a bow in return.

Patrice then looked ahead and saw the Beta members that split awhile ago just standing in front of the road at the back of a barricade. They have erected a makeshift spiked barricade that blocks the entirety of the road.

"Hold on!" Albert said. He went up the carriage and threw the Flip bomb to left side of the barricade. The standing Beta riders saw the throw and jumped away to avoid the incoming explosion.

A part of the spike barricade exploded as the Alpha carriages passed by it.

Chiz and the other Beta members stopped at the barricade and just looked on. They know that they can't pursue any further. The Alpha members have now become desperate and are now willing to kill themselves to escape. He would need to report this to his boss.

"A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal." Chiz said to himself.
