Eodem: A Rifle and Sword Adventure (Complete)

Chapter 5: the City of Tyr Rian

Iris snuggled herself by the blanket while holding a cup of a special brew that the UFE call 'Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows'. Whenever she was in the verge of crying, Dr. Lee Haneul told her to take a sip of the Hot Chocolate and if she needs to de-stress herself she can always chew on the pillow soft Marshmallows to gnash her Canines to. While the Vampire Witch was kept from wailing loudly with her provided comforts, Colonel Polonsky and Stryder Group were gathered next to a table across the room.

"Well this just got worse, and I thought Iris will be such a good help. Rose, so these 'Burning Horse Bandits' are not only the people who burnt Iris' home but were also the people we fought before with the Flame Golem?" Polonsky asked.

"It was confirmed." Samantha answered.

"And judging from the accounts we got from Iris, they are bad news. Arson, Murder and horrible Street Art. These people sound very much they need to be stop." Polonsky said while reviewing the notes he has obtained about Gliesia on the table."

"So, what happens now Colonel?" Crocker asked.

"Well without the books to give us our needed knowledge of this place will have to do this the old-fashioned way and just walk up and map up the land. Mudwin I want your Drones to be ready to conduct a Geological Survey of the area near the city of Tyr Rian." Polonsky said.

"Tyr Rian?" Samantha asked.

"It is a city that Iris has mentioned about during our interviews with Hana and I conducted. From what she said, it's a large walled city northwest from our settlement. Said to be home to the local ruler of this place. A 'Prince Clovich' by the name, his family, the Rian's have been ruling over about everything within a 35-mile radius from his city. According to Iris, he is received rather contently for a 30-year-old leader. I want you to go scout out the city, upload me the survey data and await further instructions." Polonsky ordered.

"You are going to the city?" Iris interrupted.

"Yes, how are you feeling Iris?" Samantha asked.

"Better, thank you for the blanket and this medicine called 'Chocolate'. I feel much better now. So, you are going to Tyr Rian? I can be your guide about the place. I have been to the city every now and then to buy food and ingredients for my experiments. I do have some... uhm... errands... to do in the city." Iris said.

"Well, I don't want to have Stryder Group go in completely blind and you asked nicely, very well. Iris shall accompany you to Tyr Rian as Auxiliary Support. Now pack up as much gear as you can fit on your cruiser because this mission could take a few days to complete. Dismiss!" Polonsky raised his voice.

Stryder Group saluted to their C.O. and moved out.

"So... guys... when the two began to have their romantic night under the sun, I snuck up behind them by a cliff against the wind. I can practically see from above the male on top of her ready to make some babies when I lined up by rifle and bam! Got both of them in one shot. You should have seen the look on their faces, they looked like they were caught mid orgasm. The Taxidermist couldn't stop laughing at the trophy after he did his thing with it." Obediah said story telling his most memorable hunt to the squad while they sped through the road.

"Your so naughty Obed, I thought you hillbillies were conservatives! But no... you snuck up on them mid-sex and shot them." Samantha laughed.

"Is that even legal?" Vincent asked.
