14 undead?

----So in future chapters I would lie to state I'm going to change <Earth Resistance(15%){From Earth Blessing}> to <Physical Resistance(15%){From Earth Blessing}> because it occurred to me that if you get hit with a rock to the face it is 100% a physical attack just me being a little dumb about it till now.-----

I walked my way back to camp with the earth benders tied together with a rope behind me. They all remained unconscious and I could sense if they woke up so it worked out for me fine. I had also towed the corpse of the Bull Sloth behind me, so it took a while for me to reach camp. The whistles and murmured whispers of me dragging these things back were in the many.

I looked over to one of the guards, "hey, Phil can you take care of these guys, and if you could save the bull sloth corpse somewhere that be cool as well."

"By Sozin's beard man... You have to tell this story later."

"Dave I think we will have to wait until he makes his report, and likely more... at least no one died though."

As I walked away Phil, Dave and Greg talked. Phil had brought up if Bull Sloth tastes good and they began to argue over how to cook it if they were to eat it. Honestly I wanted to make a cloak or something out of the pretty dense hide. For now though I just entered General Lee's Tent.

"That failure had given away our position and I suggest we change camp locations that way we can continue the ambush plan in peace. Besides I highly doubt that he would survive that mess of a situation..."

Zhao was talking to General Lee, he hadn't seen me but general Lee did. For a while i had ignored the relationship status pop-ups, but seeing the smile on the Generals face made me look at it.

Apparently I had impressed him a ton, his grin on his face combined with the 3 question marks by his name confused me though. His eyes were locked on to me though causing Zhao to notice, he turned to see me.

"h-How?"

"Guess I am a dead man, does this make me Undead if I am here in front of you though? If I am Undead though... I have to wonder what that makes you?"

"Orin, I assume you are here to make your report?"

"Yes, Sir! I took down the Earth bender encampment, though while I was making my move I had noticed a few fire nation soldiers I wasn't aware was assigned the same mission as me... I understand since I am just a private. Strange thing was though, these soldiers had a bag of something, yet again I could understandably just assume this was not above my current level. That was until the Sloth Bull who I knew was a not near the Encampment crash through the tree line chasing after the soldier with the bag... Yet again fairly strange, so after I took down the Encampment and fought the Bull Sloth to the death. I decided to look into the soldiers who were there."

I didn't, but I knew who they were. While I dragged the Bull Sloth back I had also checked its gender, which was female. This gave me the idea that it might've been possible that the Man-eating Nine-eyed Bull Sloth was also a Mother...

"Turns out they were soldiers under Captain Zhao. Now perhaps he just wanted to make sure my safety or perhaps help me in making sure none got away..."

General Lee's smile was practially glowing, "I sense a but in your report Private Orin?"

"Well sir, it turns out the Bull Sloth was female."

Both Lee and Zhao caught on to what I meant instantly, though Zhao no doubt already knew where I was going. General Lee had looked over to Zhao who went defensive.

"How is any of that relevant to your report, I can't help but notice you seem to be hinting that I have some hand in your failures! What does a bag even have anything to do with a Bull Sloth?"

"Captain Zhao I never said I had failed, after all I took care of both the encampment and Bull Sloth. I even walked away with no injuries as you can tell. However the fact the Bull Sloth was female and was chasing after a soldier who had bag that the Bull Sloth wanted...Makes me think there is something more to this story."

"How Dare YOU! You think your special, that means nothing. You are nothing but an arrogant child!"

Captain Zhao had continued with the rant, but I tuned him out and looked to the general. He clapped his hands together and Zhao had stopped to look over.

"How about this Captain Zhao, why don't the two of you have an Agni Kai? After all you seem to be calling into question his skill when he had clearly proved it with his success. However this will be a special Agni Kai, if you were to lose Zhao you must compile to an investigation headed by Orin here. If he finds you tampering with the investigation you will be demoted. If you were to win however, you can do with Orin as you see fit. After all he is a private and you are a captain, surely your skills are sufficient? Unless you aren't sure about beating am arrogant child?"

I was gonna suggest an Agni Kai to prove myself, but General Lee's suggestion was much better. The investigation was just an add bonus. Though I knew it would be easily handled, the investigation would also help in my promotion status. A very clever outcome, with Zhao being called into question and the temptation of getting rid of me...

"Fine, very well. I will let you prepare yourself, as a kindness before your last moments."

With that he walked out and me and General Lee began to talk a bit about my task list.
