25 Intro Banque (2/2)

”What was that?”

”Nothing important. Now then, let's resurrect all the dragons that fell in this campaign.”

”I did manage to ensure that six corpses of my minions never left my dungeon from ages ago. Then there are the seventeen corpses that I ensured that the humans did not have time to collect in this latest campaign.”

”Only seventeen? You are one of the eldest Demon Lords. You only had twenty four dragons in your dungeon? ShadowClaw had nearly six hundred and he had sent more than half of his forces out to attack humans. You should have way more dragons.”

”Reaper's and ShadowClaw's style are hordes of minions to attack. Most of their forces use one or two Attribute Crystals. I prefer to keep elite forces. My forces use three to four Attribute Crystals.”

”So you are quality over quantity. Got it. I guess I am as well. Though my range is four to five Attribute Crystals. Now I have to drag the human vegetable out of here and come up with a decent story for why only the two of us survived. Or how to exit with one person no one else has seen before. Oh boy. Dragnoff, help me drag Estella.”

”As you wish, my lord.”

”Don't call me 'my lord' please.”

”Yes, my liege.”

”Please call me 'my benefactor', it will help cement the background story.” We were half way to the exit of the Underground Dragon Enclave when the Messenger Dragon popped up.

”My master has a message. You will be expected to bring three minions to the banquet.” Wait, it took 5 days to get here, one day of fighting the undead waves outside, and about half a day traversing this dungeon, which roughly adds up to a week. That let me make more Attribute Crystals. The banquet is in five days. Not enough time to make more Attribute Crystals. How are other infant Demon Lords suppose to make three minions?
