Chapter 102
"My people, I stand before you today as a declaration to something great, something better than what we have now. You all have seen what I can do given the small leadership I now have, now imagine what it would be like if I had full leadership. Imagine the life I can create for you all" Ostia said out loud as everyone listened closely to him, occasionally nodding their heads to show their agreement.
Meanwhile Omadi was still in his position listening as his face changed, angry at first but the more Osita talked the more defeated he looked.
Suddenly he saw everyone looking at him as Osita walked towards him, tapping his shoulder before turning to look at everyone, " Our beloved leader had an announcement for you everyone"
Omadi heard the words as his old aged hand clenched but he put on a smile, looking at Osita behind him. "You all have heard Osita and seen how capable of a leader he could be, I have gotten old so it’s time I hand over the position to someone know who is capable and lead our people for the better"
Omadi said as he took Osita’s hand to show him handing over the power. Osita with a bright smile on his face brought down his posture to Omadi ear as he said "very well done elder"
Omadi smiled as he turned around walking back into his tent. Meanwhile a sharp look flashed in the eyes of Osita as he looked at the elder retreating back as he thought to himself "Now I have my soldiers"
After Osita was handed the power, the village took a huge turn, men whether they are of age or not are recruited by Osita who took on the job of handing them the new weapons and training them on its usage.
The women for some reason had it better, Omadi noticed that while Osita looked at everyone with a hidden disdain, the same can’t be said for his wife.
So Omadi attributed the women’s better treatment to Osita’s wife interfering or something similar. This still doesn’t mean that the women were treated better as they became something of a motivation to Osita men who promise them a woman if they do and behave well.
One month after Osita became the village head, he led his now partially trained men out to take over other villages, which went well but as they easily won, adding more people to their settlements.
But that was just the beginning as Osita continued taking over villages, soon this led a lot of other tribes to come together to fight back and hold on to their own territory and land.
