Halfway to skagos the galley on the right blow a horn for everyone to hear. Everyone on each ship got to the deck with arms ready. A another fleet about 6 ships head straight towards them. Carrying a brown banner with a broken sword.
Two horn blast can be heard from the six ships that are approaching fast as the wind is on their side. Hanzo grab his horn the one of the skagos chief gave him and blew it.
The gallery's are split into twos half carried the warriors and the other woman, children and old folk. The clansmen are on the outer side while the weak are in the centre. Hanzo is spear heading the fleet but he order eight ships to follow him to intercept the slavers fleet.
As the fleet were closeing in Kyra raised her blade as the archers drew their bow and prepared to fire. Hanzo nodded and Kyra swung her blade down. The arrows released from there bows and flew towards the enemy. Screams can be heard from the opposing ships and more arrows release's from both sides.
"This ship is mine. Get the other five." Hanzo said. Hanzo jumps on the bowsprit and ran up it to jump off and land on the other ship. He didn't unsheath his blade this time only summoned kunais to deal with them. He notices that they are less slavers on this boat. He block a attack and brought his other hand carrying the kunai and lodge it into the guy mouth from underneath.
The blood flowed out like a river. He collapsed on the ground choking on his own blood. Hanzo quickly threw four kunais at the men that tried to run under the deck. He drew close to the hatch and heard screams down below not from the slavers. No from the captives they already have.
He moved down below and can see cages and the clanking of chains. Sobs from woman and children can be heard. As Hanzo moved ahead he can see the fear on the people's eyes but not directed at him. They focus at the back corner of the ship. Hanzo moved with purpose and he sees a group a slavers holding three people.
They captives are on their knees with tears and cloth gags around their mouths. Swords and spears aimed at there heads as they spoke trying to leave and never return. Hanzo finest pay attention to them and only look at the people on the floor with tears running down there face.
There was about six of them all wearing leather and chain armour. Half wore helmets and pale with sweat dripping down their faces. In quick succession Hanzo let loose six kunai and only one reacted in time while the five landed in the eye sockets.
The man that block the kunai sees his companions crumple to the ground he drop to his knees and beg to live. Hanzo walked forward and cut loose the slaves and gestured to the man on his knees.
"He begs for mercy. Show him your mercy." Hanzo says with no emotion in his voice. He didn't know if they understanded him but they slowly grab the weapons on the ground and looked between Hanzo and him. One woman with fire in her eyes let out a scream and swung down full force.
The man screamed for mercy but everyone els joined in after the first girl swung. After a while they stopped and looked at Hanzo as he just stood there and didn't do anything. He moved away from them and walked back towards the hatch. "Free them before you come up."
After awhile the people below started to come up to the deck. They see the bodies and blood covering the deck, everyone maneuvering around the bodies. Some ship on the blood but catch themselves. They looked around and see Hanzo steering the galley towards the other six ships in the distance. They look back and only see one ship on fire while the other eleven ships follow.
As all the ships converge on one another they boarded each other to clean off the dead. They'd undressed them as the day they were born and threw them into the sea to be carried away by the sea. We kept the weapons and armour but that's not all, all six ships were carrying slaves from Essos and skagos.
All are freed and telling them that we are going to skagos for war. Many of the slaves believed that they were going to be sold and be forever a slave until he came. The red hair boy and his warriors. Mostly all of them agreed to join the fight and were given the opportunity to go home after the fight. Which got all of them to join.
It took some time to clean the bodies off the ships and the blood too. After everything was settled and the slaves took up the ships that were liberated awhile ago to follow them. Nineteen ships made there way to skagos.
After some time skagos came into view and jagged rocks protruding out the water and ice forms on the rocks. The coastline is littered with rocks and the fleet followed it till Hanzo jumped off and looked for a path.
Which was difficult he had to make sure it was wide enough for the ships to go one by and enough room for the rest of the fleet.
Took some time but they found a bay big enough to hold the ships but tricky for any shi to come attack without being noticed. The people steering the ship were aware of the danger if the messed up. Hanzo had to destroy some rocks to make room for the ships to go by.
As Hanzo makes it to the shore about two dozen boats can be seen carrying men to land. After disembarking the boast went back to the ships to fairy more to the shore. Everyone started to unpack and move up shore a bit more to wait for everyone els to disembark.
After some time Hanzo looks he sees a lot of people getting ready to leave. Before the second patch of people came on the island Hanzo made clones to scout ahead. One came back and reported that they haven't seen anyone so far so it's good to leave now.
Hanzo brought the horn up to his mouth an blew into it and everyone listened and started to move. Hanzo lead the people through a valley to get to the goat path that goes to the chiefs hideout.
After walking most of the day till darkness settled on the land Hanzo decided to make up camp for the night. The found a openings enough for everyone to set up so they did. Fires were lit to help keep everyone warm passing through the path. Hanzo sat with Kyra, Hugo and borcas eating by the fire.
Some spoke while they ate in silence till Kyra spoke. "How long till we reach the other chiefs."
"A another day at most, two if a snow storm hits." Hanzo said while eating a bread and cooked meat.
~timeskip next day~
As everyone started to get ready to move packing up the tents and putting out the fires. After awhile everything was packed and ready to go so Hanzo moved forward as did everyone els.
After passing through valleys and goats paths throughout the day the finally reached it. The valley of all the chiefs. Three banners were seen in the encampment. Frost wolves, black seals, and the rocks clan all placed close to one another. A horn blew as we came into the valley and everyone came out to see.
As they looked they seen about a thousand or so of people come into the valley. They thought it was an attack till they seen the red hair kid leading them.
All three chiefs made there way in the front to greet Hanzo and the clansmen that he brought back. Rollo spoke first. "You did it."
"Aye. This is what's left of the island clans, three i was able to save. This is Kyra, Hugo and borcas they were leaders of there respective clans. Now there not."
Rollo looked surprised. "Were? What happened." He ask.
Kyra spoke first. "If it wasn't for Hanzo we wouldn't be here. Borcas gave his knee to Hanzo first then we followed after. Hanzo is the new chief."
Everyone around heard what Kyra said and went wide eyes even the chiefs of skagos did too.
No one didn't say anything till Hanzo step forward. "This is true. And that's not all we freed slaves when six more ships attacked us on our way here. I brought over eight to nine hundred warriors to fight. That's not all, all the ships we attack and taken over they were all filled with supplies to last a couple moons if needed."
Rollo spoke "we need to talk in the hut and figure out where they are. If not if they are already on the move."
"Don't worry about that I sent people to scout at the enemy home and report back."
-pov change-
Can see multiple shadows move disappearing and reappearing from a great amount of distance from one another. These clones left when Hanzo got back from islands. As one clone passed a cliff he immediately stop and hide on the cliff and looked below. Men a lot of men can be seen in down below.
He can see the three banners of skagos, crowl, stane and magnar houses and two new one random ones that Hanzo can't make out. He looks around some more before disappearing again. Only to pop and have the memories of the clone to return to the original.
