I moved to the front of the Tribe's gate and fast-forwarded again. It's a few minutes for , but for the people of this Tribe, it's a day and a night. Then, the fast-forward feature stopped by itself, just as I saw seven n with Tosa as the leader. They all looked fatigued and shabby, but their gazes were fixed straight ahead.
Several guards, who were also more nurous than usual, imdiately lined up in front of the gate. So of them whispered to each other, wondering why so few returned. So were poking their heads at the group, perhaps looking for soone they knew.
"Hey, is this how you treat us, your own comrades!?" Tosa snapped. "We just returned from a deadly mission! We are tired and hungry! And you guys are blocking our way!"
One of the brown-skinned guards ca to Tosa with a smile. "Sorry, this is an order from our leader."
"We've done his bidding and he's now barring us from entering!?" Tosa's facial expression stiffened even more. "Fuck him! Open that fucking gate! We must et him and hold him accountable!"
"I understand how you feel." The brown-skinned guard shook his head. "However, that way of speaking of yours is completely inappropriate. You should know, those words can get you imprisoned."
Tosa snorted, then shifted and looked at the other eight guards. "How many of you have relatives on this mission!? Do you see them now!? No, right!? That's because we're the only ones who can survive!" Tosa pointed to one of the guards, a man with long hair. "Your na is Kit, right? Your big brother is coming with this expedition, right? You know what? I saw him surrounded by a lot of stump scorpions. He was bleeding and screaming in pain. He suffered before finally dying. You should know who ordered him to co to that hell salt cave, right?"
The guy nad Kit is gulped. His body began to tremble.
Suddenly, the brown-skinned guard caught and dropped Tosa's body to the ground. Before Tosa could break free, the guard twisted the squad leader's hand. "I'm sorry, my friend. However, our leader's orders are absolute."
I can only stand in silence. What is happening to Tosa now is indeed unfair, but if he is allowed to enter, then chaos can occur.
"Don't fight ." The brown-skinned guard continued to hold Tosa, who was now displaying a vicious face. "Or else your punishnt will be more severe…."
The guard's words stopped as one of the expedition group mbers kicked the back of his head. The guard fell to the ground, groaning in pain as he clutched the back of his head. anwhile, Tosa stood up and confronted the other guards who had brandished their respective weapons.
"Kill us!!! Kill us if your morals are that low!!!" Tosa let out a thunderous roar, but I could still hear the desperation in the way he spoke. "None of us wants to co to that cursed place!!! We're just carrying out orders!!! And we will now get punished!!?? Think about it!!! Do we deserve it!!??"
So of the weapons were slightly down. The holders also began to hesitating.
"Do not listen to him." The brown guard, who was their leader, struggled to his feet, grimacing and clutching the back of his head. "No matter what happens, we must obey…."
His words stopped again, because his mouth was kicked hard by one of the mbers of Tosa's group. However, this ti the incident did not end there. Other mbers joined in to kick and beat the man.
"Stop us!!! Kill us!!!" Tosa's roar grew fiercer. "We're just useless trash in your eyes, right!? Our struggle to satisfy your leader is aningless, right!?"
Having such a confrontation, the guards did not dare to co forward even though they were the ones holding the weapons.
The leader of the guards continued to be beaten and kicked. Kit, the long-haired man Tosa had spoken to earlier, moved towards the door and knocked on it using the tal bracelet hanging there, using a tone. Within seconds, the sound of a large latch being lifted echoed from within.
Tosa's n stopped beating the leader of the guards, who was so battered and unconscious. The other guards looked at each other, then made way for Tosa's group.
"Thank you." Tosa hissed with quivering lips, then started to go to the gate with his comrades.
As Kit opened the gate, soone from the guard said. "I will follow you."
Tosa stopped, turned his back on the man, saying nothing. In just a short ti, the others took turns declaring themselves to join Tosa.
"Once again, thank you." Tosa said again, starting to move on. "We will stop this mad leadership."
With the larger group, Tosa entered his Tribe, imdiately attracting people's attention.
"O residents of this Tribe!!! Get out of your house and look at us!!! Days ago, we left with a total of twenty-five, but now there are seven of us left!!! anwhile, your leader is lazing around in his palace to await the results!!!" As he continued walking, Tosa shouted with all his might. "He also forbid us from entering our ho, even though we were the ones who had to fight to satisfy his greed!!! Does he deserve to be called the leader!!??"
The mbers of Tosa's group were also screaming. Several people who heard Tosa's speech took weapons from their hos and joined in. They took whatever they found. So find weapons such as sickles, hamrs, or others. So only find fist-sized stones or wooden sticks with sharp ends.
They seem very easy to join Tosa. Maybe because their relatives didn't co ho, or they were too fed up with Suja's leadership. Perhaps they were purely influenced by Tosa's talk, or maybe it was a combination of all of that.
All I know is, it's not going to end well. Maybe there will be more blood spilled, and it's all my fault again.
I pressed the pause button and warp to Manu's place.. I had to do sothing to my male colonist before the chaos broke out.
