Then early morning the next day the group left with a hard heart for silk road without Kradel. After a day of walking they are approaching Khotan they were surrounded by hundreds of outlaws that are called Srikado that worshipped the Demoness Lamashtu, they tried to fight back but were subdued due to the large numbers of the outlaws. They were tied and a strip of their swords and bows and they will be offered to the Demoness Lamashtu. The night before they will be offered the outlaws are drinking and singing, “ What we will do? “ said Lady Chinoa. “We will wait for our chance to fight back we will die here anyway” Gunnar answered.
Early morning they were dragged into the poles where they will be beheaded and offered, “with this we don’t have a chance to fight back we cannot even move because of the poison they forced into us.” Athadel said, “this is our end guys I am happy to have fought alongside you all” Said Sir Nathan. The Buther are all ready to behead Gunnar when suddenly an arrow strikes into butcher's head. “Intruder!!!!” a Marchosias. “What is that??, a wolf?” asks Lady Chinoa. “ Is that the wolf that we killed? Why it is with Kradel?” said Athadel. “Attack kills that intruder,” the leader of the outlaw said. But with rage in his eyes, Kradel is killing the outlaws kill he is chopping woods, and so are the marchosias fires come out of his mouth and his serpent tail brings them pain as it landed on outlaw bodies. The leader tried to escape but was not spared by Kradel’s sword.
They were all untied was given an antidote that was found on the leader's things. “Guys this is Braxos, he is a Marchosias, he can take a form of a man,” Braxos you can turn into a human form now,” said Kradel and in an instant Braxos turns into human form. “You are the marquis of the thirty legions of hell sir? “ Asks Sir Nathan. “Yes, I am my good knight. “ Brazos answered. “Kradel and I fought for a day and he is the first man ever to defeat me so I am now serving him.” “You give us a scare young man,” said Gunnar to Kradel
Kradel explains to all what happened why he is missing for a day. “we will rest here guys and we will resume early morning tomorrow. “Kradel said. He goes to Utah,” are you okay? Thank you for your assistance the other day he said. “I am good, it’s my duty to keep you safe my Lord.” Usha answered. Then he proceeded to Lady Chinoa and Princess Xena, “are you both okay? “ he asks “ We are good we are not yet destined to die” Xena jokingly answer. “ Guys we are arriving tomorrow at the Middle Kingdom, be prepared anything can and will happen there, sleep well now I will be on guard rest well all of you.” Said Kradel.
