216 THE RATS SHOWS THEMSELVES (3)

 'CHARGE DOWN BAKO, AND ATTACK!!' Daimon shouted his order to charge down from his hilltop and begin to roll up the army.

Instead, Bako sat still on the hill, on horseback, just looking calmly at the battle, scanning the situated troops.

Wait? Azrael looked toward that direction on the hill and he could sense a possible ally in the making

'Look at the winds' Silas words suddenly emerges on my mind. The wind that Silas is referring to is the wind of change

'ARROWS!' Azrael yelled

FIRE! He orders the archers to fire a volley shot toward Bako

He ordered the shots fired at Bako force to see what they would do. Their eyes meet and Bako at the hilltop smiles.

Azrael nodded as he began understanding why Bako did not attack

Lord Bako, realizing the time had come to make a decision, threw in his lot with me. He makes a wise decision. Azrael thought to himself.
