Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 - Kingdom of South Koryak

Thundering hooves loom in the distances. Okular were alarmed that this unit are the one that had managed to escaped from their snares earlier. The 100 riders of Qara Yays, lended to Adam are almost intact. They set their gazes on the moving Okular's forces.

The unit only lost 1 riders and 3 spare horses. Each of them bring 2-3 spares depending on personal wealth.

"Mokmok, where are Quyqin and Kurava!" Okular shout from afar. Moving through stream of cold Yenisei stream. He is the one who blow the falcon bone whistle.

More echoes of falcon bone whistle can be heard. It is a signal for a total retreat. When the Koryaks heard the sound, they run in all directions. Without care to their retreating brethrens, they did not care if they must trample others.

"Ah good to see only one of my man died. They have quite fast feets i admit. Let me Great Leader," Udmurt rage dissipates. He start aiming his bow at Okular.

"Do you not see his face is similar to Tiki?" Iltas objects to his decision.

"Ah he must be her uncles or brothers. In other words your future in-law. I will kill the other one!" Udmurt adjusts his aim. Mukmur is farther than Okular.

Loose!

The wind suddenly blows, deflecting Udmurt arrow. He is dissapointed, seeing his target manage to escape.

"You going to pay for this! In the name of Quikil. Tiki will be back into our kingdom," Okular taunting Iltas. Making a gestures to loose more arrows to him.

"It's too dangerous Prince!" Mokmok shouts. He already reach the opposite banks.

"What are you waiting for? Order the man who loose his arrow earlier. Come on cowards," Okular keep his taunt.

Tiki dismount from her yak's saddle. Okular is not so happy to see her sister. He close the distances even more. Udmurt gives order to several of his men. Preparing their ropes to capture him.

"Surrender and you will be pardoned," Tiki try to convince him.

"I don't like you having relati--," Okular jumps after a lasso is thrown at him.

"Ready in behind too!" Udmurt is eager to capture the foe.

Lassos and snare are thrown at him. Okular are struggling to escape. He almost dropped into the river.

"Like your little sisters said. You better surrender," Udmurt threaten him.

Hit!

A poisoned arrow hit Udmurt right shoulder. Iltas deflect the second arrows before it reach his allies head.

"I can handle this, what about the poison?" Iltas order him to treat his wound.

"Not a big deal, my men have the tiryaq. There are plenty vipers here anyway if they don't have any," Udmurt reassure him.

Okular break free from the lassos bind. The militias try to catch him again. Okular cut incoming lassos and snares with his swords. Kure and Igiklav emerges from among the bushes. Iltas and Kure gazes meet. Both of them are gauging each other strength. .

"Enough of the bravado Okular. Do not be a buffoon, i handle this. Let us have a little talk eh Iltas?" Kure show his smug faces.

"Is it fine Leader," Okular ask.

Kure ignore the young man beside him. He only care about the man that he secretly hate in his heart's. Kure is trying to kill Iltas since he live among his clan again. The plots to kill him always end with the plotters getting killed instead.

"What is your reason my husband. Killing your own kin, hundreds of Buqas blood are in your hands. Why!" Mumtaz run at him. She could no longer bear her sadness.

"Because i could, how inspiring a son of blacksmith like me can become a King. Not a Khan mind you all but a Rex. You should support my decision. Not whoring to other man!"

"I love you but this is wrong,"

"Haha love huh, what a fickle words. Everytime it's always oh Great Leader."

"Zeno, Marcus Dickus yay, what is empty stoicism going to offer huh? Hedonism is the way, not full freedom but a quite responsible one. You know Epicurus."

"You are still deluded if you put pleasure at the core! Who said i'm solely a stoicist?"

"We'll see Iltas. I hereby declare the establishment of Kingdom of South Koryak!"

Bur!
