The Conqueror Series

The Conqueror Season 6

On reaching the spot where Adaeze and her men were standing one of Adaeze's men jumped on his horse and dragged Chaze down and Chaze fell heavily in the dust. Adaeze kept watching this. Chaze stood up and pushed the soldier aside and tried to walk up to Adaeze but other soldiers hit his legs and he fell once again. "Leave him" said Adaeze. Chaze stood up and persistently walked up to Adaeze. While in front of her he knelt before her and began; I am sorry. I am going to confess my sins. Look around you, one of you are missing"

Adaeze looked around and one of the soldiers stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. Another soldier said, "one of us is missing. He went to help the chief servant of Mazuba palace but never rejoined us as we left"

Adaeze brought her eyes back to rest on Chaze. "Continue speaking" she ordered. "My lady, there is something very terrible that will happen soon. As I speak Mazuba is after you. Our leader is after...

Adaeze hit him so hard with her fist that Chaze fell close to the river and tried to stand but two soldiers held him down as he continued to say, " do not kill me yet, I love you!!!" this outburst stopped Adaeze as she looked at her men and they avoided her eyes. "What did you just say?" Asked Adaeze.

"Listen, I know I'm a bad person, hell! I killed Koffi because he said he liked you and wanted to go for you!. Mazuba is a place of death. We eat visitors, we are the most dreaded magicians and sorcerers in the planet earth. We eat humans hence how one of your men got lost. When he went to help the chief servant kill the animal he did not know he was the animal. He was served Reni but she didn't...

"Where is she now!!!" Shouted Adaeze. The soldier that spoke to Adaeze about Reni smiled, knowing that Adaeze still cared so deeply about Reni. 

"She is in the cells. She cried when you left" said Chaze.

Adaeze looked at the soldier that advised her about Reni and nodded. The soldier's name was Kanan and he was happy he was right. 

"Kanan, from now on you are the leader of my men. As for you Chaze, you are a prisoner until I decide on what to do with you" just as Chaze was being forced to stand Adaeze looked behind her and saw deadly looking Mazubians riding towards them. She saw they were many and knew they had to run. She commanded her men to mount their horses. They all mounted their horses, forcing Chaze to ride with them. The Mazubians rode after them as they screamed angrily.

In Tan, Mirama was sitting on her knew throne. The new maids and man servants were busy arranging the house. She left the throne room and walked up the valley and stood there. She had heard so much about Mazuba and the threat Tan had received from that land of evil men and women. She paced on the valley. She also thought about Adaeze, daughter to the man who killed her older brother. She wanted peace now and because of this she thought it better to find Adaeze, team with her and wage war on Mazuba. But where was Adaeze? She had thought, shook her head and sat near a rock, contemplating on how to keep Tan safe. She stood up at last and decided to pay a visit to Achala, hoping to find Adaeze and her men there. She came back to her late brother's house and called for a meeting of the people of Tan.

"I want to go to Achala, to join with Adaeze and go to war against the land that has threatened us for years; Mazuba. Who is with me?" Adaeze had asked but the people kept quite. Suddenly one of the people; a broad chested man Stepped out and stood before Mirama. "I and my brothers shall join with you and go on this journey"

Before long others started volunteering. Mirama was happy.

************

Adaeze and her men kept running until they reached the cliff top. They had to stop otherwise it would be suicide. Adaeze and her men got down. Chaze asked for a sword but Adaeze ignored him. "I can fight!!!" Screamed Chaze. Meanwhile the Mazubians were nearing with a full force. Adaeze threw a sword to Chaze and said, "use it against my men and I will cut your throat by myself" Chaze positioned himself.

"Charge!!!" Ordered Adaeze and her men charged. The Mazubians were almost upon them. Chaze began to run to meet them. Adaeze watched this. On clashing with  them Chaze began to show his fighting skill. Adaeze was wowed. She ordered her men to do the same as they all ran forward to meet with the Mazubians. The meeting was greeted with clashing of swords and screaming of men. Adaeze became possessed by the gods. Her fighting skills terrified the Mazubians as some of them were made to watch.

***********

In Mazuba, the leader of Mazuba was so angry that he asked some of his men to go bring Reni. When his men reached the cell they met Reni standing. "Attempting to escape? Asked one of them. Reni positioned herself to fight. When the men entered to get hold of her she began to fight them. She was able to hit two men to the ground before they arrested her and pulled her out of the cell. The men saw the body of Koffi and decided to tell the leader what Chaze had done.

On reaching the leader Reni started struggling again. The leader walked up to her and slapped her so hard across the face and blood came out of her mouth. " where is your friend!!!" Shouted the leader.

"Who? If you're talking about Adaeze I don't know and even if I knew I would not tell you, you stinking piece if s**t" 

The founder slapped her once again and turned to the men. "Torment her until she confesses"
