Guti growled, "How dare you ask me why? What orders did I issue before I left? In my absence, all affairs of the fortress were to be decided by Chief Jo Cole. The War God Tribe is our ally, our brother, yet you dared to provoke Chief Jo Cole's authority, and thus challenged my orders, causing tribal conflicts. By any account, you deserve death."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the commanders on the city walls who had supported the prior lion man, causing them to bow their heads in fright, not daring to utter a word. How could they not be aware of Guti's overbearing nature?
Guti strode forward and arrived in front of Jo Cole. In front of the soldiers from both tribes, he forcefully raised his right hand and pounded his own chest slightly bowing, "Brother Jo Cole, I apologize for the mistakes of my subordinates."
