Chapter 418: Crushing More Necromancers!
Chapter 418: Crushing More Necromancers!
Even my system was really excited by gaining this few! Forty five gave me more than what others gave! I chuckled as I pointed my spear to them as I said:
"Who is your leader?"
I didn't want to trouble myself dealing with all of them, plus I didn't plan to stop at these forty five. I needed more, and I would gain more; eventually!
"Me," one of them raised his head as he replied. I glanced at him meaningfully, making his body tremble faintly before adding, "I'm Ric."
"Alright," I smiled as I added, "from now on you will be the leader of my necromancer army." I then turned my gaze away to the distance where the area was still filled with hostile bones. "I suppose these don't belong to you."
"My lady is correct."
"How many are there?"
"Two thousand left the village."
"A village?" my eyes shone brightly before my greedy tone appeared again, "Is there a necromancer village here?"
Ric seemed not to tolerate my tone, misunderstanding it as he faintly trembled again. "Yes, my lady. We hailed from the Dead city not far from here to the north west."
He pointed with shaky fingers towards the direction he meant. I followed his fingers to find he was pointing far behind the swarms of bones roaming on the horizon. "Good, you will all follow us," I said, before turning to glance at Jen, Mark, and Lilly as I took out three hundred pearls and sent a hundred flying to each one.
"You did well and deserve this reward."
This scene caught the attention of those forty five necromancers, making them all raise their heads and glance at these pearls with greedy eyes. "You want some?" I asked, before taking one out and slowly biting it. "Then work hard to earn some," I said with a joyful tone as I enjoyed much the taste and the energy feeling of this pearl.
As for the three key leaders of my big army, they were much more excited than anyone else, even more than I.
I gave them a couple of minutes to settle down, more minutes to distribute these pearls among their top monsters. As for me, I took out two hundred more pearls in one go and left them to my personal army to consume.
As for my demon, he can't ingest more than once per day. What a loss for him!
In ten minutes we all were ready to move again. I raised my spear as I pointed out towards the distant horizon as I shouted:
"As before, kill every bone you meet and make sure to make as many necromancers to surrender to me as possible and I won't mistreat you."
The entire army roared, and this time I felt a gush of trust and belief coming from them. I smiled while my demon and personal army moved after the bigger army of eager monsters.
"You will follow me from behind, make sure to support us," I said to Ric before my demon ran fast away from him and others. The forty five necromancers were still astonished by the big hand I just showed in front of their eyes.
But they soon got over this as they pictured the day they would have as pearls as other promising units in my army.
The fight this time was a bit harder, as we met a group of three hundred necromancers piled together at a small hill.
"Treacherous Ric! You shall die with everyone around you!" one middle aged necromancer shouted and the next minute he gained his own fate from my spear.
My spear wasn't joking around; anywhere it went, a life was taken! This sudden loss of this person seemed to anger the rest of the necromancers, yet after killing one hundred and twenty more they regained their sense of logic.
Fighting against me one-on-one battle wasn't a fair fight to anyone. I had to admit that. Yet given this I didn't feel disturbed by my victory, as I gained five more thousand pearls from the system and one hundred and fifty more of necromancers.
My small army of necromancers now was just taking shape. I knew this number was considered good, but I wanted more.
I wasn't ashamed of my personal greed, I wanted everything to make me much stronger! I had other goals than others here.
I wasn't going to live a farming life here! I was a general, a bloodthirsty witch descendant, and a very ambitious and stubborn person!
I sat my gaze upon that golden tree I left behind, and to make sure I could conquer it, I needed every ounce of strength I could spare!
With the addition of these necromancers, the rest of the fights started to be easier. They were now a force that could help me in any fight, with around ten thousand bones summoned by their short staffs.
We crushed five more groups and the number of the total necromancers went up to reach five hundred, while I killed another five hundred.
The last fight was strange, as none of the standing there accepted to surrender! I didn't know the reason, and as my army was recuperating and resting, celebrating the pearls I just distributed on them, Ric came to explain.
"This was the main family leading us," he said, as he added, "they had the chief head and his own sons and brothers. They wouldn't have surrendered no matter how hard you tried."
I now understood everything "Is there anymore of those stupid necromancers?" I asked to just prepare myself for the incoming battles.
"I doubt that," he said before pointing to the dead body of a middle aged man, "if you took his head and raised it up high on your spear, many will follow you willingly."
"Great idea," I sincerely replied, and to thank him I gave ten pearls directly to him. "These are yours to take, feel free to keep them to yourself or distribute them among others. You deserve these."
His eyes went wide before he hurried to kneel on the ground. "Thanks a lot, my lady, thanks for your generosity."
I chuckled while watching him take these pearls before returning to his gang. He distributed all of them while keeping one for himself. "You are an honest and kind leader, tsk," I shook my head, while adding, "just like your lady, sigh!"
