Chapter 38: Bubbling Riot

The entire province of Petora was shaken in more ways than one with a plethora of different feelings and emotions. Renero was brief but salient enough in his summaries around each part and sector concerning the tragic tales shared between himself and Ramsis in the same way Minaleese spoke about her and Koobus.

Some held empathy with sadness that they could not control towards their most dangerous enemy in Ramsis.

However most, while somewhat feeling for the Afri and their history, held no feelings of comfort, most especially the Khona tribe. They were fuming for retributive justice against them.

For the first time, Tsonga and his boys of Boba Khona made no jokes or laughed about the situation concerning the war. They were the most serious that they had ever been.

Such a seriousness wasn't just perplexing given their own desires to "hunt" for strong women around Petora, specifically the Ravishing Riots, but it was also heartwarming, since underneath their persistent antics, they really were good natured men that cared.

The disrespect of any and all women they viewed as Queens was one thing they hated and detested above all else, especially their fellow tribe members. As such, they personally asked Renero and Minaleese to leave Koobus and Johannes specifically to the six of them, namely Tsonga, Tabz, Fufu, Sevy, Yaya and S'bu.

"Look, I understand you have your history and all Minaleese, but that pale fucknut of a mongrel is ours for the taking. We need him and his vice captain, and we will not rest until we kill them ourselves!" Tsonga told them with a pressing glare in his eyes, that again was so jarring to see from his usual comedic self.

Renero could not deny them, nor could Minaleese, who wasn't fixated on revenge and was only focused on protecting their homeland. So they went to their Koko village to hear their justified rage.

Amma and Maame, the warrior sisters by blood and leaders of the female forces Mamzo Khona with their specialist crafter and morale speaker Charlot, adamantly agreed with Tsonga and his boys from Boba Khona who would lead the male forces.

So, Renero granted their request on one condition.

"Do not try and fight the both of them alone. If you see an open opportunity, fight as a unit to take them down. Koobus is a man who has done battle with Maxis The Maximum. Although he never won any of them, he also escaped them with his life. He and Johannes are dangerous like wild rabid dogs and crocodiles."

"Use your speed and swift styles to your advantage. Remember, we also have the conditions advantage. We know this land better than they ever could. If you must attack, the best times to strike will be during the hottest days."

With that, he went on to explain the tactics and strategies he had in mind for their tribe in the war when it came to the animals they were most familiar with in hunting and studying, such as springboks, buffalos and hippos.

Nina and Linde took note of every word, relaying it to the other children in their tribe when Renero secretly mentioned the possibility of them having to also aid in the war whilst keeping themselves safe and away from danger.

"It's okay Chief Renero, Neosa and Genesia taught us how to survive and we're ready to learn more to win!" Nina said, clearly being influenced by Neosa's bright spirit.

"Mmm! Also if it gets too out of hand we'll definitely run for our lives and not try anything stupid," Linde added, using Genesia's more cautious mindset to which Renero and Minaleese breathed a sigh relief.

We definitely don't need any more children falling to that psychotic witch. Minaleese thought in revulsion at what secret surprise Xantris had when all the parents and family members of the missing children were still praying and despairing over the wait.
