The Rise Of Rim
Chapter 18 - The Massacre

*!!!!!*

The sound of trumpets rang out from a distance, Louis and Edgurt who were sitting on a rock with a bonfire in front were startled instantly.

They looked towards the sound, as well as the many reams around them.

"What's going on?" Ask Louis.

"It's a trumpet that requires us to come together" replied edgurt.

There is no other medium of communication than trumpets in this day and age, the sound is varied, and all the sounds have their own meaning.

After the sound of the trumpet was heard, many rims began to walk towards the sound to find out what was happening.

"We also have to get together" Edgurt said.

"You're right, come on" said Louis.

After which, they walked towards the sound with the other rim.

A little while later, they arrived at a large place without any trees, Louis noticed the many reams gathered at the place.

The number exceeded 1,000, this was the first time Louis had seen many rims gathered in one place.

In the middle of those 1,000 people, there was a huge rock where three people were standing on it.

All eyes were on the three people on the huge rock.

There is also a certain, edgurt said that he was a representative of the city of Roden.

Then next to Eertul there is a pargia, he must be a representative of the city of oirat. And to the one standing in the middle, Edgurt said his name was "Ethan nevilla," a representative of the city of pompey.

Ethan looks a little younger than Eertul and Pragia, but he has a big body and may be stronger than both of them.

Three representatives stood among the rest of the rim, this gathering was held to give direction to the next expedition.

"My friends!" The one who spoke was Ethan.

"For a long time we have lived in the shadow of wolves, fearing that those who are getting stronger will burn our city!" Ethan tried to speak as loudly as possible.

Although the wolves had been defeated a thousand years ago, instead of weakening, their population and strength had increased.

"More than a thousand years ago, our hero Cardios defeated them and made a foothold for our rim civilization!"

Didn't Cardios seize the land that was rightfully owned by the wolves?

"This land is destined and promised by our god, Hector!!" Ethan Shouts.

Fated lands, they just made up words to make it look real.

"Now, the wolves want to take it back from us, then, what should we do?!" Ethan Shouts.

"KILL!!" The rims gathered in this place shouted loudly.

"That's what we have to do a long time ago, kill them! Destroy them! Without leaving a single tail!"

"DOLLY!!" All the rims look excited.

"The wolves are stupid, the only thing they can do is kill, we just need to weaken them, then attack the king's lair and kill the wolf king!" Ethan Shouts.

Maybe that sounds like a good plan? But isn't that reckless? There was still an alpha wolf that was the king's equivalent, well, louis didn't know the details of his plan, so he retracted his mind.

"For that, we need the strength and cooperation you have!" Ethan said.

Strength and cooperation? That's the proper use of the word.

"Tomorrow morning! We will start the expedition, the destination is the wolf king's lair, are you guys ready?!" Ethan Shouts.

"DOLLY!!" The rims are excited.

"To kill the wolves!!"

"DOLLY!!"

***

A festive feast was held before the expedition.

In the afternoon, the gathered reams held a feast, they would eat whatever was available, such as liquor and bountiful meat.

The rims look happy, but why don't they throw a party at night?

That is because snowstorms, are cold and windy, not a great option to throw a party at night.

"Ethan is really excited" said Edgurt beside Louis.

They are currently also following the party that took place there.

"Do you know him?"

"He's my cousin" replied Edgurt.

"Hmm, you have a lot of acquaintances here,"

"That's because I'm also a noble,"

"Is that hard for you? You look tired" asked Louis.

"The social life of the nobles is difficult, we have to be polite at all times,"

"Hmm, I understand that, but what am I supposed to say? I was born a noble, we can't change the fate that the gods have set, not even the cardios,"

"Yeah, what you're saying is also true."

People often imagine the life of nobles, what kind of life they lead? What do they eat every day? And what are they doing?

On earth, Louis often read novels about noble life, mostly fantasy and romance.

They always end up with happy endings, some bad too.

"It's almost night" Louis said.

"Let's sleep, this party will stop by itself."

Rim had an earlier bedtime, when it got dark, they were required to go to bed and close their eyes.

Edgurt opened the wood that covered the moat and went inside. This is what the rim use to sleep outside.

They are required to build a trench, because the tent will not survive in a blizzard, they will fly like paper.

After the edgurt, Louis also went into the trench to sleep.

After that, the party began to stop by itself, the rims began to go into the trench one by one as the strong wind started to scorch the bonfire.

Time lapse increased, in the dark night, the party was over and not a single ream was on the surface, as everything was in the ditch to sleep.

Everything is silent without sound.

There was no light, but everything was dark in the eyes.

Yet among the trees, fiery red eyes lurked in the dark.

Their long legs were silent, their wide mouths shut.

Wolves come.

Depric stood in the distance staring at the trenches that rim up to sleep.

The aged alpha wolf stared intently at the aura that was starting to come out.

"They have no guards or scouts, are they sure that we won't attack?"

The alpha wolf who was beside him spoke.

"We're going to expel them soon" depric said.

"Then what's the plan?"

"According to the direction of the king, after we have surrounded them, kill them in the trenches" the depric said.

This is a night attack, wolves rarely carry out this strategy on enemies, because they prefer to hunt during the day.

Not that they cannot see at night, their vision is very sharp and can detect enemies around with their nose and ears.

Although their noses weakened slightly at night due to the storm, they were still the best in terms of tracking down the enemy.

With their noses, they can detect which of their comrades and enemies.

Wolves make good use of their advantage, between the snow and the trees, they hide, crawl and look for the right position.

Their walking legs tried not to make a sound, although the sound would be faint due to the storm, they still had to be vigilant.

There were many wolf hordes there, each of them had their duties, but their main task at the moment was to surround the rim.

"It looks like our friends are already besieging the rims," said the alpha wolf beside the depric.

"You're right, but in a minute,"

They cannot act recklessly, if there is a mistake, they must be prepared to bear the failure.

Despite their respective positions, the depric waited for the wolves to calm down and prepare, they had to focus on their mission.

"Depric?" The alpha wolf beside him urged.

"A ready? Then let's start," said depric.

*RAORR!!!* Depric roars like a wolf giving a cue.

Immediately, the wolf horde rushed forward and headed towards every ditch that was in that place.

*RAORR!!*

They roared to boost morale, when they reached the trench, they opened it with a strong mouth.

A few more stepped on him, the rest waited behind.

*HUKK!!* The trenches began to be destroyed, the wolves immediately entered and killed the unprepared reams.

"ARGS!! What's going on?!" The rims screamed in pain, shocked by the wolf that suddenly appeared in its place.

Elsewhere, the rims in the trenches also experienced the same thing.

This is a massacre.
