Capítulo 38: 38th time

Son of the Condor and Triple Ugly were running again along the royal road, climbing the Andes. Another new call from the palace. The great Caribbean defeat inflicted by Hijo del Condor would have its consequences. Hijo del Condor (Son of Condor) revealed himself as a good strategist and the war had more than favorable shades.

Believe it or not, the greater number of Carib warriors had not been of good result. The men remembered and commented on the magnificent victory just two days earlier, the crowning glory of Son of the Condor, who set the best of ambushes and the Caribs confidently fell for it. The boy cornered them against the swollen river, burned the sheet and left them a corridor through which to exit, where he justly placed an Inca division, armed to infinity with spears and extra heavy arrows. The Carib army knew the worst of its defeats.
