Chapter 228: Just Kill Him

Chapter 228: Just Kill Him

He only had to kill one more before they started spilling all of their secrets.

Geth learned about the drug and their process of Taming creatures. It was wrong... but effective.

Their "Captain" would kill random passersby that they found, steal their items, and use the bodies as bait.

They would stuff the bodies with the drugs that their Lieutenant had created, then set them up in a makeshift structure. When the Mana directed the Direwolves to destroy the structure, inadvertently, they would also consume the drug.

While the wolves were stumbling around, their Hobgoblins would beat them senselessly until the Captain could cast an Enslavement spell on them.

This time, the group's instructions were to return with thirty wolves ready to be enslaved. They decided to use Geth's setup to easily capture wolves as they left the Dungeon.

Obviously, Geth and his crew would be killed and stuffed with the drug. He learned a lot from their brief chat.

These guys were once a part of the Army. They had all been grunts and remained that way in this world.

Their Captain wasn't actually a Captain but simply the first to get a Class in this world. He had taken control swiftly with his Tames and monopolized the experience.

If they listened to him, they would get a cut of the Cores as well. In total, they had close to two thousand guys.

Geth toyed with them to get more information.

If something sounded useful, he would raise them from the ground slightly. If they told him something worthless, he would bury them deeper.

He almost cracked up the first time he'd done this, and all of them started spitting information. The most helpful had been one of the men sharing their map with him.

"All right, I appreciate the information, boys. So let me get this straight, around two thousand guys, and a bit more than double that in Enslaved creatures and even Humans?"

"That's right. Can you let us go now? We won't bother you again."

"Sure."

Geth waved his hand.

For Geth, he had to focus to even see the fantasy. His Wisdom was so high that he was just looking directly at the wolves and his party members lazing around behind the Illusion.

Only Felix and a single wolf were actually doing any work.

Geth stepped out into the corridor, garnering the attention of Jack, who had been looking out for them. Jack flashed his sword at the others, signaling them to kill the group of soldiers.

It was over in an instant. Filthy shot six arrows, killing six of the Humans.

In the confusion, Felix dropped the Illusion. Eight Direwolves surged forward while darkness enshrouded the enemy group.

Rift cast multiple Darkness Arrows into the shadows. A man could be heard uselessly screaming orders from the center of the abyss.

By the time Rift recalled the Darkness Field, that man was the only one standing. Chains wrapped around him, holding him just off of the ground.

"Wh- Who are you people?"

Zolis answered quickly, "Oh, so you don't know the people you try to kill? Just go after them without knowing them? Sounds a bit dangerous."

Geth chuckled at his wife's sarcasm, "Go ahead and kill him."

"Wait! Don't you have any questions for me? I'll tell you anything if you let me go! You can even have all of my items!"

Geth looked at the man like he was stupid, "You mean the items I'm going to take after you're dead, anyway?"

The man's lips opened and closed silently like a dying fish. Geth walked away and left Filthy and Felix to question the man.

He was pretty sure that there was no need, but Felix might pry something new out of him.

"Jack, Peter, strip the corpses and store the items. Zolis, Sindri, get the furniture and anything else you deem necessary from our room."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see if we've attained some new recruits."
