OLANMA: BATTLE TIME

King Agu spoke with the men, he promised each man going for the battle a handsome reward when they return. Ikuku gave each warrior a small item which is suppose to be for their protection.

Obanga was four days away from Ekimze. The men took supplies and made arrangements to stop at ally villages to rest and feed their horses.

Three nights had passed and Obanga was finally in sight. The men broke into groups as planned. One group was to locate the princess and rescue her, another was to engage any opposition and the other were to lay in wait to ambush pursuers.

Locating the princess wasn't hard a task. The warriors were experienced and knew where to start. Olanma the princess was in the palace of Obanga and she didn't seem to be a prisoner. She was sitting under a tree with her maids singing while her hair was being made.
