Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 422: Join Me for More Pearls

I waited silently for Jack to come back. When he returned, he had Meck with him, plus two thousands of my villagers.

The surprise was that he didn't bring only humans, as there were one thousand women demons as well. "Alright, all the time stay inside the protection circle of my army," I shouted once we exited the village, and my personal army moved in unison to surround them.

I glanced over our numbers and felt some stress here. "I need more," that became a fact I couldn't resist anymore. "When those lazy come back, I will add them to my army," I decided, feeling more enraged towards Omad a Dredly for taking this long to come!

Meck led us for a whole hour until we reached a place where many rocks appeared from the ground. "It's here," he said before adding, "this is the closest site I have found."

"Alright, start working then," I said not to him but to all. Everyone coming here had different kinds of tools, mostly axes. They started working, and I noticed the demons were much more useful than the humans here.

For hours they worked until the morning came, and not a single attack fell once on us. Just as I thought this expedition would end smoother than I expected, a shriek scream came from the other bank of the river.

"They are here," these shouts came from all those working here. The next moment I spotted many gray spots in the sky, flying a hundred meters over the ground and heading here.

"So they come," I muttered before holding my spear tightly as I waited for them to come closer.

They weren't that different from what I pictured them in mind, yet they were much bigger. I thought they would be human sized, but each one wasn't lesser than my demons!

"I need these," I muttered when I noticed their great number and their big advantage; flying!

"Shriek!"

Their noisy voices were so close as I could clearly see them. I didn't wait for them to completely cross the river, as I raised my spear and the next moment a scream of pain came from one of them.

"Snap!"

I retrieved my spear then I sent it flying again. Each time my spear went off, one of them was killed and fell into the river, taken away by its mighty current.

By the time they reached us, I managed to kill fifty of them. This seemed good but it wasn't enough at all. "Be ready!" I shouted, "keep working," and added as all the workers here were frightened to be standing motionless like rocks.

My personal army started to take out their weapons, the ones they acquired from the skeletons. These weapons weren't special, yet my demon had his own beloved swords again.

"let me down," I said as this fight didn't need me to hold back, or for my demon to be busy with me. As I stood on the ground, I kept firing off my spear, and my army started attacking any of these strange creatures.

Their bodies were large, yet they looked skinny compared with my own giants. Their main attacks came from their sharp claws and more sharp canines, yet they couldn't beat my army this easily.

They were bigger in number than us, so each one of my soldiers had at least five of these creatures gathered around him. They were much close to me that in each second my spear would be launched and retrieved.

Some tried to bypass my personal army defenses and head towards their main targets; my villagers.

"Like I would let you touch them!" I shouted before I turned my spear to hunt those greedy monsters down.

Despite that, some managed to land safely and then a massacre erupted in my villagers. "Go and help them," I shouted at my demon, and the next moment he headed there with ten demons and twenty Tesakos.

That addition stabilized the situation there, with my deadly merciless spear attacks, we managed to kill two hundred of them in five minutes.

Then the fight started to be disadvantageous for them. They were fighting my demons on the ground, losing much of their lethality. "They need some training and weapons," I muttered when picturing them in shining thick armors and sharp long metal claws and canines.

In less than half an hour, almost seventy percent of them were killed, and the rest were now facing a fight with less odds and fewer numbers. "Capture some of them," I shouted to my army, while I kept attacking those trying to escape.

If a fight wasn't favorable, then it was logic for them to retreat. However I tried my best to kill as many of them as possible, and yet a couple of hundreds managed to escape away!

But I got what I desired!

"These are the ones we captured and wounded, my lady," one of the demons came leading a group of fifty of these creatures, most had wounds all over their bodies.

"I know you can understand my tongue," I said before fixing my spear to the ground and leaning on it. "I'm not that cold hearted person to kill prisoners. Yet I have no room for those with no benefit for me. So you have two choices here, kneel and be my subjects, or die."

I said and waited, yet no one of them spoke or even knelt. I waited for a couple of minutes before finally having my patience dry up.

"Snap!" if words weren't that convincing, then I should use the stick and the carrot. I sent my spear to kill three of them before finally bringing it back and leant on it again.

And this time my free hand had a pearl taken out. The moment it appeared, the eyes of those cold silent creatures shone! "Hehehe, no one here in this world can resist my delicious pearls," I muttered to myself while enjoying their greedy looks.

"Wanna these?" I said before throwing the pearl to the demon who led them to me. He was nearby, and the moment the pearl fell in his hands he ate it.
