I needed to see them, so I could determine the best ans to hunt them down.
"Sure, who will lead there?"
My demon glanced at , and I simply muttered, "co back the two of you," and the next mont he vanished, startling Enly and everyone around us.
And I was sure the demoness vanished as well from the village.
"Jack, Omad, Derky, Trefor, Dredly" I shouted, and in monts everyone I shouted at ca. "Jack you will do as I say, also inform the village that the demoness was called by ."
He nodded and then moved as I motioned him to return. "I will leave for a day, maximum two. During this period I want you all to recuperate and try to be in the best shape."
"Are we going to war? Omad asked, and everyone's got their eyes fixed on .
"We might be going to a very brutal war, so be ready," I said before turning to the two brothers, "Trefor will lead three thousand vampires and go with the miners to secure it. Derky will take the sa and cross the river."
The two glanced at , then at each other, then at again. "Derky, your mission is to search for any tribes out there. Map the area around here with all your vampires, and try to convince them to join us."
"What if they refused to join?" he asked, with his sly tone that I never noticed before.
"Then you are free to suck their blood dry and fill you and your n's hunger, and in return you will lose these," I took out a pearl and its shape made everyone here, especially the ones who tasted it, to glance at the pearl without blinking.
"This" and Derky wasn't an exception, "so if they refused to join, I will let them be and wait for your return to get them convinced?"
"Sure, yet the reward of gaining their loyalty yourself is more generous than waiting for my return."
"I see," he even was drooling, yet I didn't remove the pearl away. "But I have no equal chance to compete with him," Trefor suddenly said, and Enly tried to speak for him yet I gave her a stern glance silencing her.
In my presence, no one should root for anyone; all were equal and I wouldn't mistreat anyone for soone's benefit!
"Who said you don't have the sa chance?"
"Yo my lady you just said I would go and secure the mining campaign."
"With my personal army, so you can be able to patrol the region."
His eyes also shone, as he understood what I ant. At this point I took a big bite off the pearl while adding, "and of course the sa conditions will be applied for you as well, plus" I intentionally paused as I took another bite, "this little competition between the two of you will determine who will be superior to who."
My words were clear, and the next mont I felt the tension in the air between the two.
I was bad, yet no room for rcy or undergrounded conflicts in my own court.
You either be stronger and better, or succumb to your fate being second and be content with it.
"What about the two of us?" Omad asked, and it looked to he and Dredly had beco friends already.
"You will leave one thousand each to protect the village," I then turned to my personal army as I casually pointed towards one of them, "take him and appoint him as the leader of the defending group of the village."
I didn't care about the identity of whom would lead the defenses; I trust them all! They passed through hell with , and they were tested and awarded nurous tis.
"Then we will leave one thousand each," Dredly said, as he added, "then what?"
"Then you will go, in a grand big army together, with half the number of the vampires here. Scout the area at the plains and beyond. Any village you et, claim it by peace or force."
"We understand," Omad replied in an excited tone, "but we might take so ti."
"You have flying vampires now. Send a ssage two tis a day and leave them at the village."
"We will," Dredly said in an excited tone before adding, "and those new guys?" pointing out towards the werewolves.
"Select two hundred, the strongest, and add them to my personal army," I said before pointing again to another one, casually selecting him. "You, co here," I shouted and the Tesakos ran fast to reach in no ti.
"My esteed lady, Geor at your service."
"Good lad," Omad comnded, and I ignored this slight remark.
"From now on you will be the vice leader of my personal army," I said, and the face of Geor showed much surprise, as it ca out of blue! "When my two demons aren't around, you will lead the army of mine. Your task also is to scout for any strong candidates to be added to my army."
I looked silently towards him as he bent his legs as he greeted in courtesy, "Thanks a lot, my esteed lady for such generosity and honor. I won't fail you."
"Good lad," again Omad comnded and I just gave him a silent short glance to make him stop teasing Dredly. "Your first mission is to select capable two hundred vampires and two hundred werewolves to join my army. Then you will go with Jack and the others, guard them well and never let anything happen to them."
"I understand," he then excused himself and went away to do his new tasks. As for Omad, he whispered sothing, and I was pretty sure it was to tease Dredly whose face now was unsightly.
"What about the transportation of the ores?" Enly suddenly asked, before adding, "I can make my boys in the village carry them if you don't mind."
Her idea was perfect, "good, but send good guards of vampires to secure them," I said before taking a rough glance at everyone. "you all know your duties now, go and don't fail ," then I turned to Omad and Dredly before adding, "be ready to co ho at a short notice."
And they just nodded before vanishing with their armies.
"And here I thought I was the strongest one in the area, to be slapped in the face by you, tsk," Enly muttered and her comnt made laugh.
"At least you managed to et early on," I winked and she got my aning.
"Sure, that might be considered a really lucky encounter for ."
