“ Now “
At his signal , Ralph thrusted his sword on a lizardman’s back leaving him unable to even scream .
“ Huh , didn’t he die quite easily “
“ Of course he did idiot, you thrusted 2 swords on his spine “
For the past 3 days , Ralph and him had been ambushing lizardmen by the lake , by doing so they had greatly weakened their number .
“Was it the 10th ? Just how many of these fuckers are there, lord ? “
His frustration was justified, even though 10 out of their total 50 lizardmen were killed , they still did nothing !
Jamie had expected them to organise their defences and barricade themselves inside but it was just wishful thinking.
The lizardmen continued their lives like normal as if their kind wasn’t being slaughtered on a daily basis .
“ what do we do with the bodies lord ? “
“ Dump them on the water “ said Jamie while taking the iron tridents that they dropped .
“ When are we going to get a blacksmith , our men cant fight with tridents they are too big for them “
Jamie had continuously looked for Blacksmith profession tokens in the market but he had found nothing.
For 3 days straight he looked but no blacksmiths or any other craftsman professions were found . The only useful tokens that he bought were ‘ eaten ‘ by his ring before he even touched them .
He had now spent all of his money on items he couldn’t even have , and as if all of that wasn’t enough... 2 people had already made world announcements by conquering normal grade villages .
The only positive thing that happened was the visibility of the ring stats . He could now see a few more details .
“ Evengarde “ ( type : ring )
Rank : Hidden
— Absorbs 2 halves so it could make a piece.
Current pieces ( Normal grade Necromancer ; ?? Warlock ) type: profession tokens
Jamie could already guess what the ring’s function was but it just sounded a bit too good to be true, besides .... no matter how much he ‘ fed ‘ it the process wasn’t starting.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“ Lets just focus on the task at hand first “
He tried removing all his negative thoughts and doubts .
“ How many soldiers spawned today ? “
“ 2 more lord , there’s now 8 men . 10 if you include the both of us “
2 more potential soldiers would spawn tomorrow but there was no time to train them, he had to make due with what he had .
“ We originally planned on attacking tomorrow but we change our plans .
We attack at nightfall ! “
Contrary to his thinking , Ralph wasn’t surprised one bit .
Once Jamie gave the order he went to pick up the poisonous worms and ready his men .
He had gone through the plan so many times with them and almost everyone at the village would grow bored at the mention of it, so without uttering a single word . They took positions and waited to get dark .
“ Will 20 worms be enough? “
“ Be quiet Finnan , Dont overthink “
“ But what if the plan doesn’t work “
“Then we fight Finnan , grow a sack and wipe your tears “
Even if their plan didn’t work , Jamie had already become a 2nd stage warrior and was confident in facing his foes.
2 hours passed and it started to get dark , they had to act now before the darkness made it impossible to see a thing .
For people in this world , night vision was not an extraordinary feat but sight gained by skill wasn’t as good as the natural sight.
At this point in the game people couldn’t even make torches , so the natural phenomenons like nightfall and dawn were still kings that could enlighten and darken all which were visible .
“ let the worms do their thing “
At his order, Ralph took 3 others and went to place the worms on their water supply.
By studying lizardmen behaviour they had found out that around this time, they would drink water from the fountain right after having had dinner .
“ Prepare yourselves , once they fall from the poison you will attack and make sure they are dead “
Things proceeded smoothly, after putting the worms on the fountain Ralph and his men returned.
20 minutes later almost all Lizardmen went to drink water , unaware of their cruel and miserable fate .
Once the poison entered their system, they would shake and fall down paralysed while releasing a really bad scream .
Screams that Jamie had only heard on those ancient horror movies humans used to watch many many years ago .
“ ATTACK “
Everyone left their positions and went on the offensive. The lizardmen’s eyes showed surprise when they saw the humans attacking but their surprise soon turned into fear as they watched their kind get slaughtered mercilessly.
Even those who could gather their strength to fight back were met by Ralph’s bloody swords and Jamie’s “ Swift Bullet “
It only took them 20 minutes to kill all 40 lizardmen , I guess battles are easy when the enemy cant fight back !
Their morale was high and their confidence would increase after wining their first battle .
** Uhh haaa uh haaa **
Finnan was making war noises on top of a lizardmen corpse .
“ Glory to the lord for bringing us victory “
Everyone raised their spears and tridents .
“ Finnan sit down “
Jamie wasn’t one to get carried away .
“ I just wanted to give you the praise that you deserve lord . Lets go back to the village after looting and announce this to our people”
“ YEAHHH “ everybody agreed .
“ announce... hmm .. announce “
His heart sunk , there was no announcement. It could only mean that ..
“ no, Finnan get down “
A wave of a water splashed on Finnan’s back and threw him 20 metres away .
The doors of the highest building opened and a 6 metre tall enraged Lizardman released his battle cry .
