Chapter 727: The Snake and The Pig (1/2)

This incident was not at all rare since a few siblings of our bored gamer followed in the same steps of Prince Alexander Baratheon.

Sadly for them all, Clark never gave them any opportunity to see him. Time passed and the population of Far Water Town has seen a dramatic boost indeed.

”Another empty city. What a disappointment.” A warrior sighed for the umpteenth time. He did not like how they were progressing so slowly in recent days.

This would only mean that they would stay much longer in this god forsaken native continent where even the birds don't dare to take a dump.

”We'll get them next time.” Another warrior comforted. It would have been much easier if their mission was to search and destroy. To capture living people was definitely harder for them.

They would have to transport the prisoners and provide them with food and water. With the Qoven Empire so big, the difficulties they faced would surely be multiplied to a couple of tiers.

In the Black Company commander's tent, an excited discussion was going on.

”Sword Master Zak! I bring good news!” A general announced.

”Oh? Do tell.” Sword Master Zak replied. Although his soldiers were gloomy in the past few days but he did not share this sentiment at all.

He got his eyes on the prize and he knew that it was only a matter of time before he could earn his pay and get the hell out of this damned continent.

There were only so many places where a mouse can hide after all.

”A prisoner has shared vital information with us in exchange for his freedom. He said that there's a place called Far Water Town that has a population of almost 1 million people!

This may only be an exaggeration but there are certainly many products we could harvest in that place.” The general shared his good news.

He got it from a prisoner who was on his way towards the said mythical town. Unfortunately for this man, he and his family were captured before they could ever reach their goal.

”A million items for us to get.” Sword Master Zak was pleased with this impressive information.

”Send a thousand of our warriors to that town. I want the operation to give me only positive results. I'm expecting a million items. Don't give me less.” Sword Master Zak added.

”Consider it done!” The general nodded and went back the way he came.

”What about the prisoner who gave you this priceless information?” Sword Master Zak asked before his general could fully leave his sight. The capable general shrugged before he answered.

”I gave him back his freedom just like he wanted. Sent his family with him too for the ride. A day later, we tracked them easily and captured them back to where they truly belong. Back into the cage.” The general saluted and had a good laugh after his words.

Less than a month later, a thousand warriors could be seen riding in their fast armored horses. They did not even consider to be stealthy in their arrival and just went for speed above all.

After such a weary travel, they had finally seen the fruits of their labor.

”What a bountiful place!” The lead warrior commented. They arrived at noon and they could clearly see the thick pack of people in the distance.

He judged that their numbers were definitely not less than a million people!

”Jackpot!” The warriors behind could not help but be happy at this outstanding find.

If they could finish harvesting all these souls up then they would be closer to their ultimate goal in this land.

”Delay the celebration for later!”

”Prepare the shackles for them first!” The lead warrior instructed.
