I read Chapter 240 a couple of days ago and I came up with some decent theories, at least I think so ^^
First about the little boy with black hair, peoples seem to think that he may be an apostle or something devilish because an alligator creature just didn't attack it.
What I think is the Alligator creature didn't attack it because they were ordered not to harm him in the first way. I think those Kushan guys were sent to take back that kid to Wyndam, he probably escaped from there, he probably doesn't know himself, since he looked like he was lost all nude and stuff.
But that kid must be really important to Ganishka, maybe he is the key to defeat the hawk? an heir,source of power. I can't really say..
The courses of event can take many ways in the upcoming chapters.
Possible Scenario
Guts and party defeat Elephant monster and Gahniska who saw Guts through the eye of his avatar(?) send more troops after him..
Since this is a time of war, what may be the best unit to dispatch?
I'd say assasin, Sillat and the 2 big guys (don't remember their names, but you know who). So after that, maybe Sillat will choose to side with Guts with all the horror he saw, and the true face of the emperor...
Or, if he doesn't join, maybe Sillat will capture the boy, or Caska (if the boy is captured, then Caska will follow them, and so will be Guts), because I think the defeat of Ganiska will be mainly by the hands of Guts.
What do you think? Does it make sense?
