The moment she arrived in the inner city actually nothing happened. She saw a few groups of women happily talking as many females no matter if pregnant or not chose to live here. As she walked slowly pa.s.sing them one of them recognized her. ""Oh Chief, you are here?""
She remembered the young woman. She was always by Laura"s side. ""Okami, you came as well? Is Laura nearby?"" Here eyes swiped over the surroundings but she couldn"t see her anywhere.
""No Chief, Laura got her powers back. Actually many of our people got their powers back so they stayed at the village to protect it. Do you have any news about the outside matter? We are worried."" Okami was quite concerned about her people so all she could do is to ask straightforwardly.
The girls watched carefully at her expression but saw a serious face. ""I won"t lie to you. The situation outside is ridiculous. Literally. Illo gathered people as well from other guides and sects to join him in this task. I have no idea what he thinks he will win if he comes into the city, but my people are getting annoyed. So we will gather together with the Warrior sect and Holy Lady Aera sect. I mean your people. Jason went to meet Laura and Sirus went straight to Warrior sect to make deal with them.""
Okami pressed her lips while the girls started commenting about it.
Suddenly behind them, a cold laugh could be heard. ""So you few people think you can win against Illo? What a joke.""
Kendra turned around and saw two females standing in front of the group of women that just curiously watched but didn"t comment as the woman did before. ""And who you might be?""
The woman stepped forward and looked at her from above like she was an ant. ""You don"t need to know who I am. Know only one thing, little girl, Illo will come for us.""
""Ohhh, is that so?"" Kendra stretched the words long making it awkward. ""Then Illo feels that you girls are held here captive? Is that the reason he is attacking? Then let"s do it than the simple way. I sent all that feel as captive people outside the city to their beloved husbands and we could stop with that this insanity. Isn"t that that the best for all of us?""
The women in the background stepped back and rushed back to the dormitories while the two fearlessly stared at her. ""We have the same rights to stay in here like other women. You can"t...""
Kendra rose her hand to stop her. ""This city is built by my sect. We gave you permission to stay but we warned you all before. Whoever makes trouble intentionally will be kicked out of the city. If you feel we are obliged to take care of you, then you are wrong. We do it for our own sake. I heard good deads give later on lots of G.o.d"s points. Interesting fact, isn"t it?""
The two women stopped talking but it could be literally seen on their faces that they wanted to continue arguing. They were about to leave when Kendra continued to talk. ""From today on your guild people will be given only part of the city and will not be able to get out that s.p.a.ce. You will be given enough food as we have no wish to kill you. If any of you continue making rouble you will be immediately expelled.""
When they turned around they saw Kendra leaving with the other females and sneered. ""Those are bootlicking her now. But when Illo comes they all will be punished extremely.""
Kendra sneered when she heard her words. She saw Taro"s wife glancing back with a cold smile and chuckled. ""You want to beat them up badly, don"t you?""
Taro"s wife smiled at her. ""Not only I have this wish. everyone has that wish. Why did you let them inside the town?""
After a moment of silence, Kendra whispered. ""It"s not child"s fault who are their parents. If I could ease its harsh life for at least these couple years, then I am satisfied enough. I fear that those children might not be even treated kindly later on. Parents that are like that even now... sigh.""
Everyone went silent realizing the severity of the whole situation. But from the other side, Kendra started laughing. Taro"s wife and the other ladies looked at her with surprise. ""They are really dumb. they did gather all those people, but did you all forget how strong winters are here? It is already mid of fall. The rains are colder and soon many of those that joined will start protesting as neither he has enough food, shelters or any other benefits. Seriously speaking, this is the most stupid time of year to start a war. But of well, they are probably bored. Right?""
Starting a war against an impenetrable wall and going against it even if you know you gonna lose it is their first mistake. But now even the weather is getting worse. When those people leave he will again be with only a few hundred of people left. Piece of cake for the group that they fought against.
But that was not her problem. She went out and smiled at Jason. ""I warned few bothersome flies not to go around too much. Now all I can do is take care of those two villages. Help me get there.""
In just two steps Jason got to her side, picked her up and started flying away while Taro and others sighed in reluctance. ""What if they catch her? She is still just a child. Should we join those outside to fight Illo"s army?"" Taro and his people started making new plans.
Looking at them getting busy and making their own ideas come true, Kendra smiled and as soon they were out the sight they disappeared. The cloud waited for them and as soon they stepped on it, they couldn"t be seen.
""Jason, what is going on with Laura and her people? Did you place formation around their village?"" Kendra already thaught them basic formation that could help them later on.
""Yes. I took care of it before entering the village. She sent her regards. They will send enough seafood to the city. She was grateful for the vegetables you sent them last time."" As they floated over thousands of people they calmly spoke like there were not existent. As they neared the village they saw a strange thing happening...
