When the remaining troops of his guards arrived Feicui Long says to his prisoners: "Well, as I told Valtoe, I am going to give you an opportunity, you can choose… between submitting to me in life or doing so in death."
Feicui Long then extends his arms and with that summons all the undead and golems, 450 creatures at once, among the undead there are all kinds of creatures, from skeletons of powerful beasts such as ice lynxes or fire wolves, to complete corpses of beasts such as jet black ferocious bears.
But there were also inferior imps, monsters such as the faun leader and all the men of his tribe, all of them shone with the natural inscriptions they possessed in life, while some shone even more such as the faun leader due to the improvements that Feicui Long made to them, the lizardmen trembled with fear upon seeing someone use necromancy and golem creation.
When suddenly they noticed something… looking in the left direction of the undead a group of slender round scale lizardmen was standing and one of them stood out… she was clearly an alpha, her royal blue scales that once drew attention, are now a deep dark blue almost black and are only illuminated by the enhancement inscriptions.
The shaman upon seeing this trembles… she recognizes her, of course she does if they are from the same tribe, speaking in a frightened manner about the cruel fate of a sister she asks: "Did you kill the scouting group sent previously?"
Feicui Long nods and says: "I killed them, they were too aggressive and attacked me without me ever having done anything to them, I did not even bother them."
Valtoe who had already been threatened before cannot help but open her eyes with even more horror, because this proved that he was not lying… either they served in life… or they would serve in death.
Feicui Long then adds: "Of course, I am not that cruel nor that tyrannical, I will only make you sign a temporary servitude contract, until I conquer your nation, in the meantime I will protect you and you will serve as a buffer nation, but do not worry, I will not force you to kill your sisters and brothers, in addition to that I will give you resources, food, even techniques and artifacts and I will reward the loyalty of everyone equally."
One of the lizardmen that Feicui Long could now identify with the information obtained and having seen part of the past of those two that this is a male, the male raises his trembling hand saying: "Everyone equally?"
Feicui Long looks at him with pity and at those of lower hierarchy: "That is right, everyone equally, everyone will be treated in the same way and fairly, work hard and you will be rewarded, make sacrifices and you will be given double of what you invested."
But then looking seriously at everyone while his pact beasts and his companion beast move out from the sides revealing that Sunribit, Kagetsume, Nyx his celestial dog and Electra his draconic crackling purple eagle, all had reached the ascending kingdom grade 1, Kagetsume, Sunribit and Electra are already about to reach adulthood and their strength is noticeable, Nyx has grown a bit already entering a juvenile stage but even so her aura alone makes her look more threatening than the others.
Even so the one that caused them the most fear was Sunribit, since her aura felt stronger, more oppressive… Valtoe makes a distorted expression saying: "Y-you have a leader type pact creature, how is that possible?"
Feicui Long does not respond but even so understands her fear after all the suppression aura of a leader type is stronger among those of its clan… and Sunribit a slime is part of the monster clan, the same clan as the lizardmen.
Without wasting more time Feicui Long then snaps his fingers while saying: "Despite everything do not think that the mercy I show you is weakness, otherwise… you will suffer a fate worse than death, worse than being turned into an undead."
Following the snap and his words an enormous unprecedented pressure that made it difficult for them and the beasts to breathe caused everyone to fall to the ground struggling to obtain air, Feicui Long then withdraws the aura of the aura projection formation while saying: "This is just a sample of what I can do, so do not tempt your luck."
Then he looks at Ayame and tells her: "Ayame remove their shackles and have them come one by one to sign the contract."
Ayame although insecure because she did not trust these monsters carefully made sure to remove their shackles one by one, but none of the lizardmen dared to move or do anything hostile, not even the arrogant Valtoe dared to do so.
Then slowly they lined up and Feicui Long handed them the contracts, once they dropped their blood the contracts ignited and disappeared, Feicui Long nods and tells Zathare'k after throwing her one of the emblems that he created together with Clara: "Zathare'k you will be the leader of this group, of this village that you are going to found, this is your way to identify yourself, use your blood to mark it."
Turning around to leave he explains: "It will give you useful benefits in cultivation, improvement in speed, compression, among others, additionally you can exchange with points for completing things and you can buy resources, weapons, food, etc,"
Then he gestures for them to follow him, everyone in the village is a bit attentive and confused because their lord subdued these monsters that seemed so weak, however after a while they return to their affairs.
…
Feicui Long then takes them to the barracks in the process of construction: "Obviously I understand that helping you build that village will take a few days, that is why I will let you stay here."
After that Feicui Long gestures to one of his troops who immediately brings down two boxes of food and Feicui Long tells them: "In these boxes you have food for at least 6 months, but even so you can hunt whatever you want except my livestock, here there are only common animals, so you will not run into danger and I hope that you preserve enough, I want your village to be self sufficient in food and water at least."
Zathare'k is a bit confused she does not understand this human, how can he trust her so much?, although certainly it is frightening, because even if she did not face the pressure that the others felt, she could see that it was something real and very serious, then why be so trusting?
Feicui Long finally leaves, together with his guards who had followed them, he has many things to organize, give orders and get to work, luckily they had gained a lot of time, their attacks have killed an estimated 400 to 500 lizardmen and destroyed all their supply caches, if it took them 6 months to prepare all that, then they have another 6 months of preparation or at least in the worst case 3 months or more.
…
Feicui Long meets with the others at the entrance of the village, the regular army waits for his orders to disperse, which surprised him a bit, he did not expect such discipline from people who used to be energy hunters, adventurers and mercenaries.
He nods happily and proudly at how well they have improved in these 6 months, making Alexei a commander was a very good decision, together with commander Cathleya and commander Rexa, they seemed ideal for those positions and he was not wrong, they were natural commanders, their discipline improved day after day and this is the result.
Then he raises his hand and tells them: "You may all withdraw, rest and the rewards will be distributed, all your families will be granted contribution points for this great feat in addition to the monetary and resource reward, I will even give you the luxury of choosing between slimes, deep black wolves, hound lizards and harasser lizards so that you can obtain one as a pet or pact battle beast if you wish."
The troops made a bow and smiling withdrew to their homes each one, this trip of only 10 days certainly left them a bit tired, but at least the rewards have been worth it.
Evelyn and Elise then approach, they know that much more work is coming for them, for Evelyn commercial work and as the unnamed minister of economy and Elise as the main architect and engineer of the barony.
Feicui Long can only smile apologetically for giving them so much work, so he tells Elise: "I have several projects, first we need to create large stables for the energy beasts and some houses for the lizardmen village, then I will need houses, many new houses to bring the maximum number of immigrants, additionally an inn and a bar would be perfect."
Then he looks at Evelyn: "On the other hand in addition to starting to sell the materials, I want you to organize immigrant recruitment use food or money to attract them, preferably look at their backgrounds before accepting them and… well I need materials, buy energy materials among them more sound transmission stones."
Both quickly write down their tasks, their young master always has work for them, but for some reason it does not bother them, they feel that their work is being valued, which is already a lot since they do not have to face being judged in their own homes.
Feicui Long then looks at Mariane, Annie and Arianne and tells them: "You take the mounts to the energy beast corral, also the less numerous ones, as for the rest…"
Feicui Long tells Mila: "Since the temple has rock fences and you can calm them, can you take care of the beasts such as the hound lizards, the harasser lizards and those that have 9 individuals each or more?"
Mila shakes her head and makes a bow: "Never my venerable lord, I will take care of them if you wish or even if there are more."
Feicui Long nods and then lets them leave with the beasts, while only he, Isabella his guards and the loot remained, Feicui Long rolls up his sleeves and gets to work himself while helping to unload the carriages…
