Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

Trevor heads to his room and feels a headache about the meeting. Opening the door, he sees Bell is preparing the cup of coffee as the brown caribou sighs. He sits down and asks, "Why are you here?"

"Just take care of you," Bell smiles, "You are the leader of this camp anyway,"

"So... what do you think about my decision to dethrone the tyrant king?" The caribou takes a sip, "I think last time you said that you were tired of seeing corpses."

Bell sighs, "Yes," and she looks at him, "I mean... I don't know how long I can stop seeing corpses? We can go to Equestria to start a new life. Without war, we can live a peaceful life."

"Look," Trevor pats her back, "I know you want peace in another country, but you know Dainn is planning to take over other countries?"

"What?" Bell grasps, "You mean he will spread his ... sickness policy?"

"Yes," Trevor grits his teeth, "That's why I have to take him down and bring someone to be a king or queen."

"And who will be the ruler?" asks Bell as Trevor looks away. "See. You don't know who will take the throne."

"I... fine, but even that, I won't let his policy spread anymore," Trevor folds his forehooves, "At least I can stop the tyrant king for once and for all."

"If you insist," Bell sighs, "I'm always behind you."

"Thanks," Trevor turns to her, "I thought you hated war."

"Well..." Bell blushes and turns away, making Trevor confused. The yellow caribou coughs, "Eh... Who is this Eldaro? I don't think that I have seen his species though. He looks like a monkey but without fur."

"Oh, he called himself a human," Trevor lies on the bed, "Honestly, that human is hard to read, not like his changeling and his eagle compassions. They are strong." Trevor sighs, "He is also holding a spell that can immune Dainn's mind-controlling spell."

"Whoa," Bell claps her forehooves, "I never thought we got a genius mage."

"I know. I will have that spell."

"Look like you have someone in trouble," Bell stands up, "Good luck with the trading. I will wait for a while," then the yellow caribou goes out of the room, leaving the brown caribou alone.

Eldaro wakes up and sees the room is much larger than before. Looking around, he sees Sabrina and Silver are chatting with each other while Aria is training. When Sabrina notices that the old man is waked up, she wakes her hoof, "Hey, you should redo the spell on the tank,"

"Fine," Eldaro takes the tank from his pocket and puts it on the ground. A blue minotaur is coming inside the room to check the group as Eldaro presses the tank on the ground. The vehicle is bigger and bigger, much like the blue minotaur surprised. When the tank is coming back to its original size, the old man looks at it, "Now that's better." He turns around and sees Ox lying on the ground, "I thought you were strong."

"That doesn't mean I am not surprised," Ox points at the tank, "What is this thing?"

"Just something that I can't use now." Eldaro looks at it, "It will be our trick card. Anyway, why are you calling me here?"

"Oh," Ox points out, "I just came here to inform you about your army. You better win this bet or I will cut you out,"

Eldaro sighs and he follows the minotaur. When he comes here, he sees many creatures wearing white yellow uniforms and they are training. The old man smiles as they are still training. When the minotaur leads the human to her team, he is surprised as he sees many caribous and minotaurs, some of them are pegasus and unicorns. The old man looks closely and sees only two pegasi and two unicorns.

"Interesting?" The blue minotaur turns to the old man, "Trevor commands me to follow your order in this mission." Ox's team is looking at the old man and starts whispering. The old man sighs while Ox pats his back, "Don't worry, they are just welcoming you."

"I am doubting that," Eldaro walks in front of them and coughs, causing all of them to pay attention to the old man. Eldaro starts to talk, "My name is Eldaro. I hope we will cooperate well."

"As long as you lead us to success this stealing, we will consider," One of the minotaurs yells, "Just don't fail."

"Fine," The old man sighs, "I can promise that I won't fail," then the old man turns away and heads outside. Ox follows him as Eldaro asks, "How long will the wagon be here?"

"Two more hours," Ox tilts her head as the old man grins, "What are you planning?"

"Secret," Eldaro cracks his head, "Long time I have this war. You don't need to follow me."

"Nah," Ox shakes her head, "I make sure that you are not going away." Eldaro nods and goes outside. Ox follows him to see what he will do. When they are heading outside, a pegasus comes to her and whispers about something, then the pegasus goes away. The blue minotaur looks at him, "We got some problems. A general will lead this mission."

"I know," Eldaro shakes his head, "So, what is his name?"

"Dagen," replies Ox, "A griffin." Eldaro smiles and goes outside with the blue minotaur

Going outside, Ox sees the changeling and the old mare digging for something. The blue minotaur walks closer to them and sees that they are plugging the bamboo on the ground. Ox feels weird as she knows this tree and turns to the old man, "Why did you plug this tree here?"

"Oh, you know bamboo?" asks Eldaro as Ox nods. The old man sighs, "Did you know bamboo is the tree that is very tough right?"

Ox rubs her chin and tries to remember something as she says, "I don't think any army uses this thing. Maybe it's tough but it can't replace spears. The good thing is that bamboo is a fast-growing tree."

"And what if we don't have those things?" retorts Eldaro, "You know we can't risk the spear to make a simple trap."

"You got the point. It takes more than one hour to prepare. So prepare well," The minotaur turns to the door and goes inside but Silver lands in front of her as Ox sighs, "You don't have to do that."

"Sorry," Silver smiles nervously, "I come here to tell Eldaro." and the eagle comes to the old man to report, "Eldaro, they got one wagons with three carts. The weird thing is they send one group to have 20 soldiers to protect it while the other group has about 100 soldiers. The distance between the two groups is about 300 meters."

Eldaro asks, "Do they have a leader?"

Silver rubs her chin, "What I see is a blue griffin leading the second group. He seems like the leader"

Eldaro nods and the eagle flies to the tree to relax. Ox feels something not right, "Weird. Normally, they have to cover in large groups."

"Simple," Eldaro is checking his pistol, "He wants to make us neglect, then kills us easily," Eldaro sighs in relief, "But this simple trick will not work. I will borrow you for a while if you don't mind."

"Sure," Ox folds her hand, "If that is a successful raid, I will do anything."

"Good, but don't hate me after this." Eldaro walks inside while Ox doesn't know what he means. The minotaur just comes inside with the old man to see what he will do.

Everything is set up for Eldaro's order. At first, the old man thinks that they will just reject the order but it seems they are cooperating well. The pegasi are hiding in the cloud while the others just hide in the bush. They are waiting for the wagon.

After a while, a wagon with 20 soldiers wearing red armor comes through. The old man watches carefully and finds the soldiers who sent the signal. When he finds it, he turns to Ox and points at the soldier, "Hey, did you see that soldier?" Ox nods and the old man equips the compressor for his pistol, "After I kill him, all of us will shoot arrows at them."

The old man aims at the soldier and shoots him. The soldier is down as the others are looking around panicky. Ox commands her soldiers to shoot arrows at them, making red armor soldiers hiding behind the wagon. When the arrows die down, Ox and her soldiers charge at them to slay them all. The red armor soldiers are trying to fight back but Ox manages to kill most of them. The others just finish them off.

The battle between them is over as the red armor soldiers are dead. Eldaro and Sabrina walk out of the bushes while the others are going to open the wagon. "Stop!," The old man yells as all of them stop and looks at him, "Not yet."

"What are you trying to do?" One of the unicorns asks, "We're done here."

"There is another group coming here," The old man sighs as the soldiers are murmuring to each other. Eldaro continues, "We're not done yet. Follow my need," then he walks to Ox and pats her shoulder, "I'm sorry for doing this,"

"What do you mean?" The blue minotaur is confusing as the old man turns to Sabrina and nods.

A griffin is walking through the jungle. He is wearing red armor with some golden decoration to know that he is a general. He has commanded his soldier to go after the wagon slowly. Suddenly, a firework is fired into the sky as he knows that his first group is dangerous. One of his soldiers says, "This is their signal. They are being attacked. What will we do, general Degan?"

"Good. The bandit has fallen into my trap," Degan turns to his soldiers, "Soldiers, time to kill." The soldiers are shouting out loud and the griffin yells, "Charge." All of them are running forward to aid the first group.

When Degan arrives there, he sees his soldiers fighting against the certain blue minotaur as she swings the axe to slash them but they manage to dodge. One of them blows the dart at her. The minotaur suddenly feels sleepy and then she falls down. All of the soldiers sigh in relief.

Degan runs to the soldiers to check to see what happens. One of the soldiers notices him and reports, "General Degan, we have been attacked but we are in control."

Degan looks around and sees many red armor soldiers and yellow armor one lying around with blood around them. Degan turns to the caribou soldier, "How many of us are dead?"

"15 general." The caribou looks at the corpse, "This minotaur causes us a lot of trouble but we manage to capture her."

The griffin walks close to the minotaurs as she is sleeping. Degan looks at her face and grins, "Ah, this one will be a nice slave." Then he turns to his soldiers, "You are doing good. When we go back to Aden, I will reward you." The caribou smiles as the griffin commands, "Stock this minotaur and throw her inside the wagon. We won't let her go away."

"Yes sir," The red armor soldiers are stocking Ox and putting her in the wagon, then they head to Aden.

The blue minotaur opens her eyes and standing up, she finds that she is stocked and chained. Looking around, she sees many slaves with many types of creatures is inside. All of them are stocked and chained. The door is opened and an axe is thrown inside. Ox breaks the stock by her strength and cracks her neck. Then she takes the axe to prepare for the next battle.

Degan is walking beside the soldier and humming about his victory. Suddenly, he falls into the hole, makes the soldiers run to the hole, and watches the griffin if he is okay or not. Degan looks at the soldier, "Stand back, I will fly out." When he is trying to fly up, the soldier puts the iron net on the hole as the griffin is surprised and yells, "Hey, what is that for?"

The red armor soldiers take out the armor and reveal the yellow uniform. Other soldiers point the spear at the soldier as he takes out the sword. When the red armor is going to charge, they hear something loud around. Turning to the sound, they see many large boulders rolling here. Many red armor soldiers are crushed by the boulder. The red armor soldiers are very panicked and confused. When the boulder stops rolling, many arrows fly above them. The red armor soldiers try to block it with shields but many of them are dead.

When the arrow is over, the yellow uniform soldiers are charging from the bushes. The red armor guards try to protect the wagon but the door of it is kicked by Ox, making them fly back. The minotaur slashes many of them while the red armor soldiers are pushed back. Taking advantage of surprise, the yellow uniform soldiers slaughter the red armor one. After 15 minutes, all of the red armor soldiers are dead.

Ox turns to the bush, "You owe me big time, Eldaro."

Eldaro stands up and sighs, "Fine, but at least I win this bet." Ox turns away as the old man looks around, "How many of us are dead?"

Ox shakes her head, "Don't know, but I will count later." the blue minotaur points at the hole, "And we got a general."

Eldaro walks to the hole and sees the griffin through the net. Degan looks at the old man as he is wondering what species he is. The old man stands up, "Take this general to our base. He can have much information about Dainn." The yellow uniform soldiers take the griffin to their base.

Sabrina looks around the battlefield and sighs, "Well, I really hate you."

"You can hate me if you want to," Eldaro points at the wagon, "Let's see if this wagon has advanced weapons. I don't think this king wants to invade Equestria if he doesn't have advanced weapons."

Sabrina nods and she walks to the wagon. The soldiers are taking the slave to the base while others are opening the second cart. The changeling takes a peek at it and sees that it is just food and drink. Sabrina walks to the third one and opens it. Ox turns to the changeling, "What are you doing?"

Sabrina answers, "Find out if there is a weapon. Wanna come?" Ox nods and she jumps to the cart with the changeling. Looking around, Ox sees an unusual crossbow with something round and takes it.

There is no arrow on the crossbow, and something have a round shape that attach on the crossbow. Sabrina turns to the minotaur, "Looks like you found one,"

"I don't know about this crossbow," Ox gives her the crossbow, "Maybe you know how this thing works."

"I think I know," Sabrina takes anothee round shape object, then she and Ox go outside the cart. The thing is going to get a lot of headaches.
