30 The Feas (1/2)
”So….. many….. cards…!” Leo thought as he looted hundreds of corpses. Although there were hundreds of monster corpses, he only received a total of twelve cards.
Leo felt that this was not very much considering the total amount of corpses, however, to not lift a finger while still receiving so much made him feel amazing. With a gleam in his eyes which looked like he just won the lottery, Leo decided to skip back to the village.
”Oh Leo, you are done already?” one of the executives asked with a concerned look on his face. ”From what could be seen from here, you barely touched any of those corpses. That is coming across as a little strange.”
”Yeah, I was able to loot something I needed from multiple corpses. It is too bad that you couldn't see properly from these walls.” Leo responded to the executive level expert.
Once it was confirmed that Leo was done with the corpses and with both Jack and Natalia not interested, the executives told the villagers that they could now start bringing the corpses back to the village. With so many corpses, these villagers would not need to worry about food for quite some time. Plus, with so much skin and other usable body parts, these villagers could create more weapons and armor for themselves!
”You heard them, make sure you all bring back as much as you can. Once all those corpses are completely taken apart, we shall thank these strong experts from the city by throwing a huge feast for our lunch!” Lannister took this opportunity to flex his new leadership role within this village. Though it would still take time for the villagers to warm up to Lannister, they still followed his orders and started to work together by bringing back the corpses.
The villagers were used to doing this every so often, so their teamwork was top notch. At first, each villager teamed up in groups of five in order to carry a corpse back. They would then split themselves up again, leaving two of the villagers to take apart the corpse and to separate its body parts into different piles, while the other three continued to bring more corpses back.
Within only three hours, the villagers were able to bring every corpse into the village. Once this occurred, each villager started to move the piles of newly acquired resources into their respective buildings. However, several dozen villagers started to break off to start preparing for the feast.
”They sure work fast!” Jack said which snickering. As far as the experts and Leo's squad was concerned, they did not need to lift a finger and just spoke to one another casually as they waited for the feast to begin.
During this time, Jack and Natalia were told that they received their promotions, and both officially became core members of their households. This did not shock Leo, but it threw the Crimson and Moon household experts into a rollercoaster of thoughts.
When it came to core members of a household, it was very rare for two warriors in a single squad to receive that rank at the same time. In this case, it was even more surprising, because this meant that the Mist and Sacred Flames households would back both Jack and Natalia upon their return to the city!
”Hmph, do not think that just because you both became core members of your household, that will automatically excuse you from any punishment which will be given to you by the alliance.” The Moon household expert said as he got up to walk towards Lannister.
