Chapter Two
Every barbarian was in motion, no time to think or plan, Meldrin saw he can't escape so he dived into a space of accumulated dead bodies, as he used the closest to cover himself, using it as a shield from the rain of death arrows
Lambalot, still up and running, ran into an advantage position again and swung the skull he picked while he was running towards the royal chamber
As the skull left his hand with all the force he was able to gather, an arrow was there as a replacement as it struck his heart and the another in his head and then all over his body covered with a thousand arrows
Meldrin who was under the dead bodies was looking through a sneak hole that he had been lucky to have, observing everything
'so many arrows when just one does the work, maybe they think he is the Meshil of Asaph(Delta)' Meldrin thought as another barbarian fell among the pile of dead bodies he was in, covering the sneak hole he used in observing his surrounding
Which was a good thing if not the rain of arrows that followed after it would have been sure to make him lose an eye
There were sporadic shots of arrows around and then everywhere was still
Few hours later while he was still slightly unconscious, Meldrin felt a burden lifted from him (one by one) "there's no arrow in this one too, an Officer told the barbarian guard captain
"Lucky animal wasn't alive to witness the wrath of the slaying of his fellow barbarians by the SS" the barbarian guard Captain replied his officer
"Well, saves us a bit of disgust and agony of retrieving the arrow head from his body" added the captain as they loaded Meldrin into a cart filled with the dead bodies of his fellow barbarians
Meldrin woke into consciousness to discover that he was in a moving cart full of dead barbarians but he dared not move, being unable to anticipate what lay in wait for him yet
But that thought was soon vanquished, "How will you compare Alargh with Taberiah" Larbah rebuked his partner
"No that's not it, m not talking about of the powerful lords or the SS guards and warriors or any other thing in relation to that" Larbah shrugged as Zoroaster continued
"But the most important aspect for me if we are comparing the two cities is recalcitrance" he paused looking for contribution from his work colleague
"And for me it does not matter as far as they have not been overpowered by the rebels" Larbah replied
"Here in Alargh the rebels are weak unlike Taberiah, even when there are rebels, the SS overshadow them but in Taberiah we shall be more powerful SS ranks, savages and still breaking into it"
Meldrin now fully awake and pain subsided wriggled to sit up, looking around and observing this strange place, you look at the dead bodies he was on and smile looking at an arrow hole in the chest of Tornard body
He removed his amulet and use the sharp side to widen the hole looking around vigilantly as the cart continued moving as a ship in still water
Zoroaster had stopped talking since Larbah was no longer interested or simply not hearing what he was saying
The silence was broken by meldrin "……"
Street of Taberiah [Sovella]
Down at the Sovella street, where barbarian slave business were relatively low but was resident for retired SS generals to live in luxury
The wind was blowing and the streets was empty because of the driving rainfall, the usual aroma was subdued, the cheerful and boisterous people of the Sovella street were no where to be found.
The street was named after the doxy of the originator of the barbarian slayer crossbow
A dark clothed figure was walking in long strides, attaching himself to the walls staring towards the ground as he walked to make his face unknown, covered from head to toe in a dark robe to blend with the surrounding
Taking slight glances at the building within certain intervals, he suddenly entered into the dark refuge in the alley of a famous brothel
"Hey imp" Lazul whispered as a dwarf entered into the alley from the other side "arrived just in time"
"Call me that again and I will have your doodle out" the dwarf burted
"Ok I get it, so what's the plan" said the lanky man with the dark raiment robe
"There's a change of plan, we are to inflitrate the brothel, shake it up and leave tidy" the dwarf replied with a disdainful look on his face "and I call the shots lad, you go high and I go ground"
Lazul began climbing quietly while Eldad move around, looking for a break-in window
Pieces of rock toppled down on Eld "ah!, Silent imbecile, won't want the SS all over us, would you?" Eld the dwarf called to his partner
"Just three generals to shake things a bit", he continued, searching until he found a small window which slid open
Eld found himself in a hall way unlike anything he had ever seen before, pictures with golden frames, the shining bright from the illumination of the massive hall light all over the place
The air having a voluptuous feeling, "aargh…" he sighed with disgust and repugnance as a thought went through his mind
Lazul was at the top floor of the brothel in an empty room, water dripping from the drenched clothes, soaking the expensive rug, he stepped into the other room quietly and slowly to find a fat snoring general with a bulging stomach fast asleep
He stood still at the door post with an emerging blade as he moved away from the line of sight of the occupants of the bed and began peeping at a lissome teenage girl at the side of the general.
The young girl was giving herself self-pleasure at the nether region of her body, 'seems like he's incapable of satisfying his doxy' he thought with a grin on his face
