The Conqueror Series

THE GREAT WARRIOR 3

This had made the people of Mozo to realise that Mozo had left them but he was still with them and maybe one day they will witness a warlord like him who would come and liberate the land of Mozo from the evil rulers of the earth.

That night as the king of Mozo, king Matan remained on his throne he kept thinking about the history and what Ube was becoming in the eyes of most Mozo people.

The gates were raised and Ube walked in. He was tall, brown and had a familiar scar on his left cheek. He was fully dressed in his war attire and the palace guards who witnessed his entry whispered his name.

Ube walked into the King's chamber and stood before him before he slowly went down on his left knee in respect. The king of Mozo was pleased to receive him as he approached him and held his shoulders and Ube rose.

"My warrior" said the king.

"My king" answered the Ube and the held held his both shoulders tightly and sighed. "I am troubled" he said as he went to reoccupy his throne.

"Tell me what bothers you my king" said Ube.

"The Getu people have begun to unleash terror in Mozo land and this time they have taken my my wife, the woman that is so dear to me and I received this news a day ago and I decided that I needed you. I need you Ube son of Akpati. I need you" the King's voice broke.

Ube was moved by the King's tears as he moved closer to him and asked, "Is anyone apart from me aware of this?" The king shook his head as he said, "It would be a shameful thing and a disgrace for a king to say that his wife and Queen has been kidn*pped and those responsible are the people he dines with and took as his brothers" The king said regrettably.

"How sure are you that it was the Getus that did this?" asked Ube.

"They left a letter to me. They have continued to show their tyranny over the years and they have just taken the woman...

"They don't rule us my king. We have you as our ruler and so we don't have to be troubled when the king of Getu kingdom decides to eat his own subjects. It should not be our concern how they choose to rule or be ruled in their land but what has become our concern is what they just did to you and to us by taking a woman we call our Queen. It is a slap on my face too. They have refused to learn from what happened in the land of Agere when I had to descend on them two years back. They have also refused to learn from what happened at Veta when I had to descend on them. Now they want the same fate to befall them and befall them it shall for you have done no wrong to them yet they decided to spit on our faces and force us to lick their saliva which they poured on our faces. My king, I am not a man of too many words but I want to take permission from you to let me personally descend on Getu with everything i have and they will come crying and begging you to forgive them of all the wrong they did to you"

After Ube had finished the king had sighed deeply and was pleases with Ube and happy that Ube was ready to wipe away the tears in his eyes.
