Chapter 13 - Help arrives

well, all I heard was kill him. The man shouted angrily, the warriors took a step 

in front and rushed for the kill. 

 Suddenly, arrows struck these people down dead and some of them had their 

eyes gauged down. Lucy narrowed her eyes, she was right! This guy must be 

some kind of a sorcerer or something, but again she was puzzled! Chester 

looked puzzled too which meant that something was wrong, "Iyaaaaaaa!!!!" A 

loud roar of a multitude was heard, these people who came surrounded the 

Drago and started slaughtering them, an ambush! Looking at these men's 

dressing, these guys! These guys are bandits! The man who was horrified 

turned around to flee, but Lucian took action and shot him three arrows that 

dropped him down from his horse, dead. 

 Chester's eyes narrowed, isn't this his old acquaintance? Yes, this is him, this 

is Samz, the thief leader. After making sure he was the one, he sighed a long 

sigh of relief, the Drago were slaughtered to pieces, Samz came and stood in 

front of him and knelt down on one knee and his hand on his chest. "Greetings 

brother, I thought I might be of a little help today." He said in a low toned 

respectful voice; Chester hurried and help him up. Lucy suddenly fainted; she 

had lost a lot of blood. Natalie was already leaning on Luka's shoulder, groaning 

in pain and gasping for air. 

 Lucy woke up feeling dizzy, her injuries were wrapped by a white linen cloth 

and she could smell the scent of medicine on her body. She glanced around and 

saw Luka feeding Natalie some food. "So how did you mobilize these people?" 

Chester was asking Samz, they were sitting around a fire, bandits were busy 

moving around, looks like this was their camp. "Well, after that day, I decided 

to protect lone people in the woods, after we were about 20 or so, I decided to 

rob the Drago army who were dispatched in small groups and that is how my 

camp became like this, now we robe from the army and take in whoever wants 

to join us." Samz explained, Lucian looked at Chester with a different 

expression, if Samz died that day, then today was going to be the last for them. 

One good act can help you in the future, be kind and help those in need, one day 

they will be the ones helping you out. 

 Lucy came and sat near Chester, "You are awake!" Lucian exclaimed feeling 

happy, "Yeah." Lucy said in a low voice, she was still not yet fit. "Food is ready 

guys, a fat looking grilled poke was served for dinner, three fat fish and 6 fat 

chickens. There was also unfermented wine, some fruits and slim looking 

impala meat. These guys were eating and enjoying the meat, Luka and Natalie 

enjoyed the fat meat of all the food that was served, Chester, Lucian and Lucy 

only ate the impala, Samz was also puzzled by these three. "Aren't you eating 

poke, chicken, fish? These are all delicious and they have a lot of meat." While 

saying, he cut a piece of chicken thigh and gave it to Chester to eat, Chester 

smiled awkwardly and refused the meat while taking in the good smelling wine, 

"Ahem ahem" Lucian coughed dryly. "Impala meat is actually tasty; I like it 

more." Lucy said and took another bite of the thin impala meat. Really? Yes, 

impala meat is tasty but compared to pork, chicken, fish! Really? Naaa. 

 Actually, here is the thing, the reasons why these three avoided fat meats 

were very simple, anything fat was actually eating corpses. Remember the fat 

tiger? Yep, that thing ate a lot of corpses such that it forgot how warm blood 

tasted like. Fish ate corpses of the people who were disposed into the river and 

they became fat, poke eats a lot of stuff and corpses were no exception. 

Chickens? These bustards eat everything on site! They even became broiler 

chickens than broilers themselves. 

 With the punjy smell of corpses and looking at how Luka was drooling poke, 

I couldn't help but want to vomit. He cut through the stomach and pulled out 

an intestine, "Hehehe there is meat inside the intestine, woow soo yummy and 

dely." Luka said while pouncing on the meat, "Pass me kichuza spice and ingry 

wine, is there source left in the can? Pass it." Luka loudly pounced on the meat, 

at this point; Chester, Lucy and Lucian were swallowing hard, fighting the edge 

of vomiting, damn it Luka. 

 "Chester, why don't you stay here and fight alongside us, as you can see there 

is enough food and enough man power." Samz started to pursued Chester to 

stay, what the hell! Stay here? Naa in fact Chester wanted to leave this place as 

soon as possible, Lucian and Lucy were worse. Only Luka and Natalie wanted 

to stay, "Thank you for your hospitality, but Ziya is the safest place, sooner or 

later the Drago will attack this camp." Chester explained and that was true.
