A Clar war Story I walked and hunted in the forests at home and now the forests here seemed familiar. Only instead of hunting animals it was enemy soldiers who were hunting us.

What I got in return was a reward for capturing him and when he agreed to talk I ended up with two girls. Now we are going back to that area to hunt larger game and I hope they are not as ready as we are.
The attack changed everything, from being free to hiding and hunting those that would enslave us or worse. When it was my turn to hunt I used the drones from a half breed I killed to slip into a building. Now it was a game of stalking and quiet kills before the fleet arrived.
