OLANMA: BATTLE CRIES

"My people, my people, calm down. Let us treat this matter with caution. Should we go to battle or let our princess be where she is?" Chief Arinze asked.

"Let's go to battle" echoed the men.

Their response was like a balm to the King's heart. He was happy that the people were behind him and they want to see their princess return.

The commander of the warriors informed the men that they ride for Obanga in two days. This time was for men to go back and be with their families and for some others to go have a rethink.

"We shall assemble at the village square in two days. We cannot determine our fate once we leave the boundaries of Ekimze. We don't want weak hearted men in this battle, so go home and think about it." Ikemba said.

The King dismissed the people and sat to discuss with his chiefs.
