Chapter 393: A Nice Chat with Den
All the people here moved on, trying their best to carry the huge bodies of demons scattered everywhere without success. How could they think they would be able to carry all of these with their smaller body in comparison?
"Den," I ordered, while Den jolted away as he appeared in front of me, "select all the capable youths and make them start chopping the demon bodies into smaller pieces, able to be carried easily," I added, and Den hurried to execute my command.
From all the people here, he chose only the young, and their numbers were larger than I expected. At least eight hundred to a thousand youth followed Den, and they tried to chop the monsters with their bare hands.
"Sigh, why are they this dumb?!" I complained before I turned to my demons. "Hey, stop what you are doing and chop each demon body into small pieces."
The moment my orders fell, the demons stopped working, as possessed they took out their weapons and the next hour they kept hacking the dead monsters' bodies into pieces pieces able to be held easily by any human.
Den and his group of youngsters stood on the side watching the efficient movements of my two demons, and it seemed everyone was astonished by my supreme control over the demons.
"Ding Dong! The humans' loyalty to you increased by ten points."
Suddenly the system said this strange message, which startled me for a moment there before muttering:
"What is loyalty? Can loyalty be assessed?"
"Ding Dong! Sure, loyalty is a figure in your own profile, the lord's profile. You will unlock it soon, don't worry."
It explained everything without the need for me to ask, so I held back my tongue, watching the demons standing still like idiots. I sighed, as I was pretty sure once we left here, we wouldn't find any remains of the monsters' bodies.
So the larger we carry the merrier. "Go and bring one hundred tree to the ground. Bring them here," I said, totally ignoring my useless humans now, and just gave my demons the order.
And per usual, the two moved out and perfectly executed the order. One hundred trees lied in front of me, and this time it was the work of humans not my demons. "Den, go with others and look for anything that can be used as ropes. Come and tie the trees together and form a large stretcher," I said to Den as I had this idea in mind.
My two demons could act as a weapon, and also could act as their natural role assigned to them by the stingy system; a behemoth!
I would make them pull the huge wooden stretcher so I could carry a huge number of demons at the shortest time; leaving only a small portion behind.
In the next hour Den led the others to do what I asked for, and they managed to cut down many tree long branches and used them as ropes. Some girls brought many strange muddy materials, used it over the surface of the tree barks to act as a glue.
In an hour, my huge stretcher was ready, and Den and others did good this time as they made many ropes for my demons to pull them. I examined the stretcher with satisfaction, while nodding as this was exactly what I had in mind.
"Go and stack all you can carry over the stretcher, then carry the pieces you can handle and follow me," I said to Den and others before turning to my demons and added, "go help them, and once finished pull the stretcher back home."
I said the word spontaneously, however its taste seemed strange and bitter; what was home exactly? "Sigh," I sighed as since I left my own kingdom, I lost all the meaning of anything related to this alien word to me.
In half an hour, most of the bodies piled over the large stretcher, giving me the feeling that it was too much to ask my demons to pull it. However, when they started pulling it, it started to move slowly at first, then they started to pick speed, even moving faster than me!
"Den, do you know how many humans are here?" I asked Den as I watched my two demons moving far in the distance. "Deliver the stretcher then come back to me," I shouted before they vanished in the distance, making me wonder if they actually heard me or not.
However if they didn't come I could easily summon them back into the prison artifact before summoning them here. "We have two thousand and five hundred," Den replied, attracting my attention to him.
"Wow, so precise," I muttered, feeling this somehow was the deliberate arrangement of the system.
"May I ask from which empire you hailed from, lord?" Den suddenly asked, attracting my attention successfully for the second time in a row. "What made you think I came from an empire?" I asked with a chuckle, as I knew he was asking about my home before the apocalypse.
"Someone so special and unique, highly recognized by this world isn't a person coming from a no-named kingdom."
"This time you are mistaken, I came from a kingdom, near a famous empire called Frod, heard of it?"
"Oh, I sure heard of the Frod empire and its mysterious and renowned game training system," he replied before pausing as he said, "I came from a distant small kingdom from Frod. I was once the next to be acting general, but that strange apocalypse happened."
He laughed, bitterly, as it seemed he was thinking back to his foolish dreams before shaking his head and adding, "our biggest concern was the wolves to come and attack us, despite we were very far from them, far from the big names, like the Frod empire for example. Who would have thought that our end would come under such mysterious ways."
I noticed his bitterness and loss, so I tried to change the topic as I asked:
"Do you know where you were sent? I was knocked out of consciousness then woke up to find myself here."
