Getting Help

"I honestly don't know what you're talking about!" A slave yelled as The Guard looked at him with disdain as he clutched his sword

"You lying piece of crap!!!"

"I treated you well and gave you benefits, You could've been much so much more," The guard says slowly bringing his sword above his head

"Dirty Slave, You've become useless," He says with cold eyes slashing the slave who died slowly

"Cig…do you think that was necessary?" The lower-ranked guard asks before continuing

"He didn't give me any of the info I wanted, as far as I'm concerned he's overdue for this" Cig says throwing the blood off his sword

"You do realize that if we don't have eyes and ears on the inside that could be both our heads?"

"Relax Ale, the only threat is that Solnarian and his Beastman Pal"

"It's not that, I sense a rebellion brewing and if we don't get a handle on things I'm afraid when Isdeth comes…we'll both die"

"Relax, I'm going to handle it"

Hercule Slave Station

A place built near the entrance of a mountain that holds valuable resources

They buy slaves at cheap special cases at a high making them work for their food, Not getting your work quota done means starving unless an individual gives away their pass

*Cling*

*Cling*

"I've counted that there are about One Hundred guards and about 50 employees and 300 slaves," Rah says to Akanni

"We have Ninety-Nine of us on our side right now," He says making Akanni look at him

"99? Thought it was One Hundred?"

"One of them has unfortunately been used as a pawn by the guards and has been killed"

"We have to get most of them on our side, this is gonna be hard without getting our hands on some weapons"

"I'll just rip them open with my bare hands"

"Not to mention these chains, if we take them off we'll get our necks blown up" Rah feeling the steel

"I can try something but I don't if it'll work"

"Try what?" Akanni questions curiously

"I can try to melt it by using fire magic, but if it doesn't work I'd be dead," He says making Akanni nod

"Even if you could do it, you'll die when they see you without it"

"Enough talking you dirty scum," Koal says spitting near them

"Oh yeah, what if I don't?" Akanni says glaring at the man who didn't seem affected

"Is that a threat?… Dirty People like you should learn your place" Cig says clutching the hilt of his sword

"I know your bloodthirsty kind, especially you,

slaughtering Three soldiers before they were able to incapacitate you" Ale says speaking up making Akanni anger

"They did the world a favor burning that beast-infested village to the ground" Ale finishes as Akanni lost it about to crush his head

Reacting quickly Rah elbowed the tiger in his side making him take a knee before whispering into his ear

"You'll get him Akanni trust me, just hold it in for a while" Rah whispered making Akanni grunt while he got up

"Control your pet Solnarian, if you don't it'll be the death of the both of you," Cig says beginning to walk away

"Beast" Ale says with a snicker laughing at his pain following behind Cig

"Those Runts," Akanni says angrily clenching his fist

"Relax those two will get what coming for them, but we have to plan…come on we'll be late" Rah states while giving them one last cold glare

The two walked as discreetly as they could as being a tall humanoid tiger isn't exactly stealthy

"So who are we supposed to be meeting?" Akanni says confused

The two walked further until they weren't in site by anyone

"Someone who can give us supplies and the stuff we need to break out of here," Rah says before spotting a guard

"I believe that's him" Rah states eyeing the guy

Once the guard turns around he nods before walking up to them

"Let's make this quick, if we talk for too long the others might think something's up"

"So what do you have for us?" Rah questions as Akanni stays quiet observing the guard to see if he can spot any deception

"I could only give you ten leftover swords, ten leftover daggers, ten leftover bows, and 100 arrows" The guard says to Rah who nodded

"That's all I could give without looking too suspicious that the leftover stuff went missing" The Gaurd finishes looking around

"Ok but…where's the stuff?" Rah states looking around not seeing anything

"Giving it to you here would be stupid, it's already in your quarters hidden in the ground, and it'll be easy to dig up with that tiger beast men"

"Also heads up, a slave that stayed with you guys was killed earlier, for what I don't know"

"Thanks, but why are you doing this? Why are you helping us?" Rah questions curiously as the guard gains a sad look before regaining his composure

"When I was younger I was a slave, but someone saved me… you remind a lot of that guy" The Gaurd says before continuing

"I hope you don't let down all the people counting on you," The Gaurd says before he walks away not wanting to get caught

"So Akanni can we trust him or not?" Rah states bluntly as Akanni glances down at him

"He can be trusted, will he actively help us is a different question" Akanni states

Hearing the magic alarm both Akanni and Rah knew it was time to go back to their quarters before they got in trouble which would bring a halt to their plans

Rah and Akanni quickly made their way to their quarters where 27 other people stayed meaning there was no real way to relax as you were packed in

Everyone in the cell was in on the plan but Rah and Akanni were considered the leaders of the rebellion

Rah scanned the room trying to see where the stuff was buried and spotted a spot where the dirt was more disturbed than any of the other spots

He then forced everyone to move to the other side of the room

'Let's see if it's legit'
