Chapter 710 Time To Fight Thousands

Chapter 710 Time To Fight Thousands

-----

The entire population of the Darkage Fiefdom suddenly was shaken. Their gloomy expressions and faces instantly changed, as everybody were given red, shiny apples, as many as they could eat.

Children ate the apples vigorously, adults cut them down into pieces, and even the elderly, without many teeth to chew, ate mashed apple puree. Babies also enjoyed this puree, slowly being feed by their mothers.

Apples produced by these trees contain great amounts of nutrients. Although these were made too fast, so they contain less than usual, but it is surely more than double the nutrients of a normal apple.

They're called Spirit Apples and are a delicacy of our hometown produced all year round by the Spirit Trees.

"T-These fruits are so sweet... I can't believe it... I've eaten three already and I'm on my fourth!"

"My stomach... it feels full... after so long..."

"Mommy, this juice you made is so good!"

"Here, dear father, I've made a puree for you."

"Even the babies are eating the puree so easily! They love it!"

The population of the Darkage Fiefdom, which was roughly seven thousand people, were all feed in the span of two hours. The Spirit Trees, as long as they were supplied with Mana, constantly created more apples, which kept rolling out of their branches into the open.

Monica's maidservants and manservants gathered them together with the knights, distributing them to everyone. At first people tried to fight for them, but as they realized there were so many everywhere, they calmed down and started sharing.

The entire city became warm with smiles, laughter, and people crying out of happiness... Maybe this was the correct choice at the end. I let myself get blinded by a bit of greed, but just giving out apples won't ruin my future plans anyways.

"So you could do such a thing?! Is this what you did back home?!" Wondered Erika's mother. "Incredible! My daughter is a true prodigy! Hohohoho!" She laughed pridefully.

"T-This is insane..." Evelyn sighed. "I-I can barely believe it..."

And above all else, we earned the trust of everyone else, even the old Eustace was shaken, kneeling before us, and asking for forgiveness over his rudeness.

"Y-You're true heroes... a miracle like this can only be done by holy spirit-blessed saints!" He started crying. "Thank you so much for everything..." The rest of the knights, guards, and servants all lowered their heads.

"Ah, well, it is something similar to what we did back home!" Erika laughed while feeling embarrassed.

"It's nothing much, don't you worry." Elizabeth smiled. "It is my duty as a Saint of the Holy Spirits Church to help those in need."

"I-I barely did anything, please don't lower your head..." Eric felt embarrassed.

"It's fine. You'll pay back once everything is done." I smiled rather maliciously.

"P-Pay back?" Eustace wondered.

"Don't worry, it's nothing too much..." I smiled suspiciously. "Anyways, Monica-"

Suddenly, Monica ran to our side and hugged us all. tightly hugging even Elizabeth and Erika alongside myself and Eric.

"Thank you so much!" She was in tears, the rest of her party that had come with her as well were all crying in happiness. "I-I really didn't knew what would happen, even if the demons were to be killed... So many people were starving, so many have already died... I-I..."

"It's fine, dear, calm down." Elizabeth giggled.

"Yeah, relax." Erika smiled.

"I-I think I shouldn't be the one receiving any thanks..." Eric said.

"A ruler shouldn't be crying like this." I said sternly. "Raise your chin, clear those tears, and stop your childish weeping."

Monica looked at me in surprise, nodding, as she used her handkerchief to clear her tears.

"Y-You're right... This is not over yet..." She sighed. "I'll cry all I want once things improve much more... Once this nightmare is over. We have yet to even find dad after all!"

"Then let's proceed with our next plan." I smiled. "Let's get all of that EXP!"

"E-EXP?" Monica felt taken aback by my words.

"He means to kill all the demons, they give Experience Points which help us level up." Elizabeth laughed.

"It seems my lord is focused. Now that we've dealt with the starving people, there's nothing else in our path." Eleanora stepped forward, standing at my side. The rest of my Vampire Spirits were summoned, nodding in unison.

"Is it finally time, my lord?" Wondered Hendrick while laughing evilly. "Hehehe... I can't wait! I'll crush as many as I can! I have so many new poisons and venoms to try out on them!"

"I'll help as much as I can daddy!" Saphira smiled gently.

"Is it finally time? To purge those bastards?" Woo smiled. "They shall learn to fear my fists!"

"My lord! Let me charge first! I will rip and tear as many demons as I can, and bring you their heads!" Fang howled.

"I know you're all eager. Let's begin."

We quickly moved with our group, accompanied by the knights and Eustace. Most of them were roughly Level 40, and if they work together, they can take down most C+ Rank monsters. Though, most had one-star talents.

Eustace was a mighty one though, he had a two-star talent "Silver Knight" and was Rank 2, possessing two Spirits, the Silver Armor, and the Moonless Sword, both were tool-type Spirits he was already equipped with.

He was a true veteran, someone that had surpassed Level 70, and could fight B+ Rank monsters in equal terms. He was the true behemoth and guardian of Darkage after Monica's father, a powerful Dark Magician that could take down hundreds of demons with his mighty dark magic.

The demons must have used some sort of special tactic to capture him, for sure. I fear they could had used the power of Demonic Eyes, something humans in this world aren't prepared for.

"We are here... the Territory Walls." Eustace said, as we arrived above the walls, glancing down at the enormous swarm of demons surrounding the entire territory.

"What a view..." I laughed. "Now, I'll show you why we are so confident on fighting thousands... [Familiar Multiplication]"
