Last time, Barathrum evolved into Chaos Wolf, which is alien to me.

And I've subjugated the 18 wolves. No one from the pack was killed fortunately.
But more importantly, none of my minions was killed too. They're pretty damn good I think. Too good to be true.
But there's two problem.
First, there's no more space to accommodate all of my minions so I really need to expand.
But, here's the second problem. I have no minions capable of excavating the dungeon.
The rabbits and rats can only dig burrows.
It would take so much time to excavate just a 2m x 2m room.
Not that I don't have the time, but "Time is gold." as the saying says.
I would need excavators that could use pickax and shovels.
So I guess that's the first thing to do tomorrow. Find me some diggers.
For tonight I'll have the wolves spend the night just outside the entrance.
If they wish to hunt at night then I guess there's no problem.
But they have to bring their preys here so that I would gain some miasma back for the miasma I used to subjugate them.
Well, I guess that's it for today.

I used 35 miasma to influence the former pack leader and 30 for the rest. So I am left with 240 miasma.
Dawn breaks and the Sun rises.
By sunrise, my newly acquired minions had gathered me miasma from their hunting by more than half of what I have used to subjugate them.
Though not fully recovering all miasma I used, it could still be useful if there's any urgent need for it.
So for today my our main mission is to abduct any kind of sentient being.
And if possible, the weakest of the sentient beings would be most gracious offering.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
And so the journey begins, is what I would like to say.
I mean come on.
Why would fate not give me a challenge? Fate just offered me my preys.
Yeah. Just like that. Suddenly goblins numbering to thirteen showed up at the entrance of my cave.
What would they be doing here?
*grrrrrrrr*
All of my wolves gnarled at the guests we have.
And so did my rat minions making their own angry sounds.
But this is all too perfect.
Did they somehow chance upon my cave in this side of the mountain?
"What are you doing here? How have you come upon this mountain?"
Asked Barathrum with his noble and majestic voice.
"Greetings!"
A wrinkly goblins said as he raised both hands. His left hand holding a staff, while the other are some leaves of sorts.
"My name is Baasdokt. I leads them gits here for I feels the powers. Wes fled our village when those pesky hummies comes and rekt our homes."
"We came in peaces mi lord! We only seek shelter and protekshon! We came to serve!"
Plead another goblin.
All of these goblins were lightly armed. So I still had a little doubt of what they're saying.
But they also looked seriously beaten. With the look on their eyes indicating they lost hope and found a new one.
"I am no Lord. I---"
Said Barathrum but he was cut when he was about to utter something else.
"Wes not talking abot you wolf."
Although lightly armored, the one who spoke still has full leather set. Distinguishing him from the rest.
Barathrum quickly pounced on the goblin and pushed him down on the dirt.
*GRRRRRR*
"Watch your mouth, filth. I could take you all on alone."
"Pardon great guardian! Wes mean no offense!"
*thunk*
As the elderly goblin whacked the other goblin in the head.
"Wes just all tired and wes whats left of the group that fled the village. As the elder of these gits, I wish to speak to your master."
And Barathrum dismounts the goblin and gnarled at him once more before heading inside of the cave.
"Master."
'Ahhh. I thought it would be hard to find my diggers. But here they are, offering themselves up... Go let the elder in.'
"Yes Master."
"Master said you may go in."
"Thank you!"
The elder gob bowed and went inside.
The others tried to followed but was blocked by Barathrum and his pack.
"Only the elder! You all wait here... Guard them." He instructed the former pack leader.
Then Barathrum also went inside.
"Master."
'I'll make them my new minions. So that we could expand this tiny crevice.'
"Me and the gits have come to serve thy Master!"
DING!
20 Miasma have been used.
Well let me check first.

Now to make them all my minions.
'Baasdokt. I'll just call you Dokt. Go and tell your brethrens to come here and pledge their loyalty as you did.'
"Yes Master!"
Dokt obediently complies.
"OI YOU GITS! GIT OVA 'ERE! AND LET MASTER TINKER YOU BRAINS TO STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT!"
So the other gobs became my new minions.
'Go make picks and shovels and start digging. As you can see, it's all cramped in here.
"Yes master!"
And so the expansion begins.
To be continued...
