The Serpent Empire

Jake pov

It's been fhree days and nothing had happened Leo and Cain had split sending guards out on the field making sure no new surprises appear they have been having disagreements and I'm frankly getting tired of both of them

" I don't like these idiots they keep disagreeing with every little detail"

Henry's face showed tried and sleepe from all that had been going on

Henry" yeah they keep making our unit cover some of they're responsibilities because they don't agree"

Nate " hey Jake give should got out your door down and actually make them start doing their part"

Jake " yeah imma go talk to them after morning scouts return"

We built a good little fence around the door can't say they will hold cannons but I'm sure they don't have cannons.

We hunted worms to eat hey we're pretty hungry around here they're if you want to eat meat since the bird kinda rotted because we don't have a coller

Charles " sir the morning scouts are coming back" oh great now I have to go talk to both Cain and Leo ugh I don't wanna

I made my way to the inside of the door and to a tent that had two other people and I already heard shouting from them my face felt heavy

I walked in and screamed STOP

They didn't even look surprised they just stoped and they looked and asked Leo " so did the scouts bring any news"

Jake " no but I have an idea we saw the footprints by the tree what if they are on the tree" Cain and Leo's eyes widened and waited for me to continue " we have found fresh ones since yesterday so I began to think and realized they must be on the tree but we don't know if they are under the tree or on top"

Leo" the. You should split your unit into two and go up and down"

Jake" no that responsibility will fall on y'all y'all haven done anything good since both of you got here only bickering amongst yourselfs so we won't participate on this i will leave this to you two"

I left before they could began to argue with me

They will rather work with each other or will fight themselves. I continued my responsibility by making sure they were well feed and had good working guns i made my rounds and trained my army making sure they were ready.

Soon I heard that both Leo and Cain army's would move out of camp I was surprised but I guess they realized the importance of this mission i have to keep an eye on them though I send Henry and give men to go and keep calm

They where out there for more than two hours when they returned with a man being dragged with the army

Cain " we found him on one of the holes that where on the tree there where more but they managed to run i will take him back to Almswood for interrogation"

Leo wasn't present in this little meeting but Henry told me he had sent a message back ason as he got back to the door

It's clear that Cain doesn't care they can't do anything about this he cought the man and he will get more prestige with his father

I'm getting scared about the conflict with Martin and Maurice factions they have been even going into the army Leo's is loyal to the council and it shows with how many clashes they have had

But it's late and I'm getting ready to sleep but I saw someone on the corner of my eye he smiled very much when he noticed that he was spotted he walked slowly to a make shift chair that was in my tent

"Good sir I'm Liam from the north gang as I have heard you call us sir sit in not hear to hurt you in hear to make an very good offer to you" I slowly pulled out a chair and set down so we could talk Jake "so what's this important offer that you wish to make"

Liam " no no firts let's talk about you killer of a bird how did you managed to of it"

Jake " cut the crap you saw everything right"

Liam " oh no we got here like an hour after the bird was killed we thought yall had found us but since y'all weren't shotting where we were i told my unit or advanced and for that I was given an even higher position because of you"

Jake " looks like we are talking about you not me so cut the crap and tell me this offer"

Liam " okay okay impatient are"

Jake " would you be patient if there was an enemy that could kill you here and now in your own room"

Liam " i guess I get what you mean...

Anyways join me I have observed you and this little army they bicker and put your people in danger join me and betray them and your people will be safe"

Jake" What will happen to the others "

Liam " hmm that will be for the big boss to decide"

Jake " who is the boss" please don't be who I think it is"

Liam " you know who it is"

Fuck why didn't he die

Jake " let me think about it"

Liam" So it is a no"

Jake "no I just need time to think"

Liam" join me right know"

Moments passed but I couldn't join him if I did it's possible that they will only accept my army, but the people of the inside they won't they will kill them all

Jake " no "

Nothing was said he left and I stayed there without moving

I needed a plan and I need to get rid of the army bickering to succeed

That night I didn't sleep but stayed up all night they won't attack they now that because I know they are here so my army is fully prepared I sent Nate to get Leo and called Henry

Henry "you called sir"

Jake " yes stay here as commander I will go meet Martin and Maurice"
