Chapter 27 Kano Tribe III - Sound Of War

The whole tribe had a panicked nature because of the news about the Kano tribe's attack. People were running here and there getting ready for a hectic situation. All those who were not soldiers and warriors are advised to stay inside to avoid the mass panic under the orders of Usha.

While all this was happening inside the tribe, inside the mansion of the chief, Usha and Nikol were arguing with each other.

"Why can't I go? Is it because I'm weak?" Nikol asked while holding Usha's shoulders.

"Didn't I tell you already, it's because you are the most important to our tribe right now, so even if you throw a tantrum here, I won't send you to the war," Usha understood a little how he felt but, the future of the tribe is more valuable for her than anything.

Alva was looking at both of them while sighing,

She was excited to fight with Nikol at first but after hearing Usha's explanation, she also felt overly protective of him.

"Nikol, listen to her this time, I know you're strong but you are the most valuable person in this place right now, we can't let anything happen to you," Alva agreed with Usha devastating every hope Nikol had for her support.

"Ugh~ I just wanted to help you guys, I know I'm not strong right now but, never mind," Nikol understood he will be extra weight for them instead of helping.

Even if he went there most probably he would have to rely on his unknown power, without knowing how to activate it.

Nikol gave up on going to the battlefield but, at least he got permission to observe it under the protection of two girls.

"I know you are worried about us but, we will be fine, it's not like we haven't fought with them before, we are surely going to win," Usha and Alva both felt grateful to him for caring for them like that.

"Alva, introduce him to those two girls, they will pay their debt to him," Usha said while going back to her work.

Even if she had time for Nikol and Alva, she was extremely busy with war preparations.

"Nikol, I would like to stay with you but, I have to go and help them, in my absence they will protect you," She said while pointing at two girls who were looking at Nikol with interest.

"I don't want protection, Alva, I can protect myself," Nikol protested but Alva didn't listen to him.

"No can do, this is the chief's order," She didn't want to leave him at the very least, she felt reassured if he is with two girls like this.

"Tsk~ I look like a damn princess now, being protected and sheltered like this," Nikol thought before going back leaving Alva while muttering to himself.

Two girls who were supposed to protect him followed Nikol after giving their respect to Alva.

"Girl, Wait!" One of the girls talked to him.

Nikol wasn't in his best mind state but, he didn't want to be rude to these two beautiful girls so he looked at them. Somehow they looked familiar to him.

"I'm sorry girls, I lost my cool there for a minute, sorry you had to protect me like this," Nikol apologised to them with a sincere look.

"It's okay, you might not remember us but you saved both our lives, I'm forever thankful to you," She said while giving him a reassuring smile.

Nikol didn't understand at first but, then he remembered the three guard girls who he rescued in the forest.

"Oh~ now I remember, Weren't there three of you?" Nikol asked her.

"She's on war duty, unlike us she's very skilled," She sounded a little sad there, but she quickly regained her mood.

Nikol talked with both girls about many things including how hard it was to be a guard for that reckless girl,

"Is she that stubborn?" Nikol almost sounded a little annoyed remembering such a person.

"She's not a bad girl but, her curiosity is her main enemy," Nikol thought she was just arrogant and stubborn at first but the more he hear about her, Nikol's interest in her developed.

"She's actually helped the tribe a lot, she even creates medicines sometimes," Another guard girl said.

"Conducting experiments on medicines," He didn't expect to hear such a term in this strange place.

"I would like to meet her," He thought while walking toward the wall.

They reached the wall where they were going to observe the war, Nikol still couldn't get over the fact that they had super high walls and good houses with next to no good clothes.

Two guard girls were so happy to accompany him but still, there was a small desire for them to join the war and achieve a war reputation.

Nikol noticed it but, he didn't tell anything because it would be like mocking if he ask such a thing from them as to why wouldn't they go to the war instead of protecting him.

Nikol and two guards went to a safer place which was super far from where the war is going to take place but, still, they were able to see it somewhat clearly because of the height.

The Kano tribe was wearing something which looked like bikini armour which he heard about in many places in his previous world but, they were protecting the most vital and important places providing a good defence for them.

Nikol couldn't see their leader because there were a lot of them but, a simple distinct feature they had was all of them were dark in colour.

Usha and her troops were also wearing something which looked like armour but, at the same time, it was more open protecting only important vital points.

They didn't attack at first as they kept looking at each other with obvious bloodlust leaking,

There was a tense nature in the atmosphere symbolising the seriousness of the war, which is about to happen.

While Nikol was thinking about all these things, her heard a loud female voice from the side of the Kano tribe.

"Usha, don't be a coward, come out, today's the day we are going to massacre you," The voice was so loud that even Nikol, who was far away from the battle heard it clearly.

Nikol looked at the woman who shouted, she had a dark skin colour just like the others with brown or violet colour hair. He couldn't tell exactly because he was far away but, one thing was clear. She had a full sexy body with considerably big boobs with a nice and perky butt. Even though Nikol couldn't tell the hair colour, he was clearly able to see her deadly curves.

"Shut up you blood-thirsty woman, you're the one who came here to fight, and you will regret it," Usha replied to her but, Nikol didn't hear it as it wasn't loud like the previous voice.

Even though, they were exchanging insults none of them started to fight all of a sudden.

Nikol didn't understand how these people going to break into this town because it is impossible for them to fight with this wall but they had some artillery which had some complex designs.

"What are those things?" Nikol asked from guard girls pointing at the artillery Ron tribe had with them.

"Oh~ they are mana canons, it will be problematic if they started to fire these things here,"

"Is it that dangerous?" Nikol had no idea because he had never seen anything like that before.

"It is especially in battle like this where enemies and allies can be easily identified, we also have a few of those but, we never had to use them until now," She said with a complex look.

It had a big giant-looking gem like a stone on its head, these canons are made of huge mana stones and some elements that can withstand firepower like meteoric iron or mithril.

"Are we in their range?" Part of Nikol wanted to see how it worked but, at the same time, he didn't want to experience an attack from it.

"It's not that powerful to fire us, most they can do is break our gate but, It will be problematic if they did it,"

While they were talking, both sides were preparing to attack each other, the ron tribe retreated a little bit so they won't have to face the arrows.

"Prepare cannons, we will break that wall," the Chief of the Kano tribe ordered while looking at the huge wall in front of them.

"Tsk~ so much for a friendship," She sighed remembering the old times when the two tribes were friendly.

Usha didn't want any casualties but, she can't protect everyone as this was a war. She thought about proposing a duel but, she wasn't sure about their response.

This war decided the future of the tribe so, she wasn't confident enough to take it all on her shoulder and ask for a duel.

"Retreat everyone, Artillery and Archers try to shoot them, don't let them destroy our walls, break their cannons," Usha ordered them.

There were a lot of archers on the defensive side but, none of their arrows reached the Kano tribe as they were quite far away from their range.

"Tsk~ Fire the cannons," Both sides ordered at the same time.

*Boom *Boom

The war between the two tribes started with these highly explosive sounds.
