Chapter 261 Unexpected Ambush!
East: A Valley Somewhere
Eastward as Mezo and Grazu have gotten through the frosty north, now still trekking as the two have made it to a more sustainable climate, with them traveling through a springtime field valley somewhere.
Brining up conversation as the two beast men keep moving with no pause, leering his eyes over to the quiet Mezo, Grazu states subtly, are we going to be stopping anytime soon? I want to rest in a nice warm bed.
Keeping his gaze forward as he has been since traveling with his new companion, Mezo says flatly, we will. I believe if we keep going on this path, we should come upon an inhabitant of some sort.
Not knowing how to answer to Mezo's verbiage, raising his left brow, Grazu responds back and says, uh... So basically, we keep walking until we find a town or village. You could have just said that, why did you have to phrase it like that.
Ignoring the last part of Grazu's sentence, halting his feet, flaring his nostrils as he gets a whiff of something, Mezo then immediately turns around and catches an arrow that was aimed at his head with his right hand.
Pulling out his weapon as he instinctively gets ready for battle, Grazu says, seems we got company. Snapping the arrow, Mezo says nothing as he looks all around without moving his neck an inch, rushing up in the distance as a squad of some strange men riding boars comes into their view, also coming from the left and right more men show up.
Calm as he looks dead ahead at a man wearing some rather expensive looking silk made clothes as he looks to be of someone of importance, as the middle-aged man gazes back at Mezo with a regal expression, built above average as the bronze skinned black and purple haired man speaks, he says, Mezo I presume.
Answering back with his body language eased as he keeps intimidating eye contact with the man before him, Mezo says, who wants to know.
Smirking as the black and purple haired man replies back, slowly reaching his right hand down to the hilt of his blade, of course me who is going to collect your head for the bounty placed on it.
Chiming in with something to say, Grazu says in a sly remark, quite the unexpected ambush. But you're not collecting anything, trust me on this one.
Hahaha is that so overgrown teddy bear! Said by the middle age bronze man with a pompousness to his claim, whipping out his blade in that same motion after laughing, following their leader of the groups lead as they unsheathe and point their bows at the two hybrid beast men.
Reaching back as he grabs one of his black cold slabs of iron, smoothly sliding it out of its sheath, Mezo says with an unbothered tone, you may talk a great deal but a man that needs to have others around him in battle to take on one foe is no warrior. Now come and try to claim my head so I may show you death.
