Wolf's Tail: A LEO Journey

Chapter.24.2-The Storm(part 1)

This is unedited.

Part 1 looks like it will end up being closer to ~15,000 words instead pf the ~10,000 I said earlier. I might need wrist surgery by the time I get through all of this for arthritis.

Zanithar is what you would expect of a human city. Stone and wood buildings are everywhere with very little nature around. The entire city is a misshapen form of houses and businesses slapped together. On planets like this one, most cities have very little organization. Apart from the different districts, the roads go everywhere and the buildings make no sense in their placement. The only exception to this rule is the noble's district and the main roads. Since this is a port city, there are a few main roads set up. One goes from the port to the gate, another from the noble district to the gate, and the last from the noble district to the port. From the maps I have seen, these roads make a huge triangle.

After walking through the city for a bit, my opinion of the people quickly changed. I wouldn't mind killing anybody here, in fact, I would be happy to. Even while it is storming hard, slaves cart around goods and groceries to and fro. The masters of the slaves are nowhere to be seen. Most of the elves have collars around their throats and look malnourished. I can't wait to destroy this place. Judging by the tension on Bishop's shoulders as we walk around, it seems he is in agreement with me.

The Elven Wolves may be bad at assassination, but they are extremely good at information gathering. Using them to fill up the gaps in my memory, I can confidently say that I know most of the VIP targets. Our first target is a man named Tarin Kilkr. He is the one in charge of the guards taking care of the port district.

Apart from him, we have about twenty or so other targets. They include the leaders of the districts, the leaders of the city guards, the guard captain, the army commander and the higher ranks of the army. The plan is to take out most of the targets from range, but there are some circumstances where we can't do that. For example, when we are killing the army commander and the other higher ranks, I will use [Wolf's Fury] to take care of most of them. When there is just one or two left, my bow will do the rest.

"The information says that Tarin is a level 31 [Guard Captain]. He should be stationed at the Port Master's building. While we are there, we might as well take care of both targets." Bishop talks quietly as we trudge through the rain soaked streets.

I nod my cloaked head to him, "I agree. It will save us some time if they are both there. The Port Master should be fairly low leveled, so do you have anything you can kill him with? I can only fire one arrow before they realize something is up. That arrow should be aimed at Tarin."

Bishop reaches into his bag and pulls out a small handheld crossbow. "Will this do?"

"Yeah, it will. How many weapons do you have on you?" Including the crossbow, he has five weapons that I saw. That's kinda overkill...

"17 including daggers, my main weapons, my backup weapons, and my throwing knives. That number is not including ammo." He says calmly as we continue walking.

"Dannngggg... that's a lot of weapons. I wish I had a few more like you. I've just got my bow and arrows." I speak depressingly.

A chuckle escapes his lips before he talks, "Haha. Going by that logic, you have sixty-one weapons."

Now I'm super confused. The bow and arrow are a combination weapon. You can't just use an arrow as a weapon. It is possible to fight with just a bow, but it is not recommended. "What are you talking about?"

"Did you already forget when you made Captain Lex pee his pants during the meeting? Good job, by the way. That was hilarious. That guy is a cowardly human that doesn't deserve the title of [Captain]. The rest of us really appreciated what you did. We have been hoping for a long time that Lex would choke on all the sh*t he says." He laughs again as he finishes speaking about Captain Lex.
