30 The Feas (2/2)
In truth, the executive from the Moon household cared more about making sure that Lannister had full control over this village. It would be an even bigger win if Leo's squad would be sentenced to death or even jailed. To this expert though, he wanted to make sure that his household's foundation was not shaken by both Martin and Nathan's deaths.
”Do not worry about him, the death of two household members who were held in high regards can negatively impact anyone. What is most important now is that we take our time by enjoying this feast, but to leave for the city immediately afterwards.” The Crimson household expert told the group as he also got up and headed in a different direction as well.
”It seems that he thinks that he will be one step ahead of us. Little does he know, I already sent a small golem back to the city to report to our Sacred Flames household about your progress. He is right though, once this feast ends, we need to make our way back immediately.” The witch told the group as everyone headed back towards their guest rooms.
Two hours later the feast had begun, and all the villagers took their turns thanking the executive level experts for their generosity towards the village. If they had not intervened, the wave of monsters was something that the village was unable to handle by themselves. This time, the executives not only defeated the wave by themselves, but they also gave the villagers enough resources to build new weapons and armor!
”Attention everyone, I have an announcement to make here today!” standing up on a platform that was in the center of the city, the Moon household expert stood with Lannister.
”The loss of both Martin and Nathan was something that none of us was ready for. Do understand that those three will be facing trial for these events and justice will be served. I hope that you can all accept Lannister in Nathan's place. With our Moon household as his backing, he has the strength to continue helping this village prosper.”
”To prove how much our Moon household values this village, we have also decided to give Lannister a very special sword. This sword is of very high quality and will allow Lannister to one day become even a match for me in battle. With this weapon, he will be able to cut down as many monsters as it takes until this village no longer sees any more waves!”
Hearing this speech and seeing such a shiny looking sword being given to their new leader, the villagers quickly cheered in awe of not just Lannister, but also the Moon household's resources. To casually gift such a strong weapon to a new leader of a village showed just how deep their pockets were!
Only thirty minutes later, the group of executives along with Leo and his squad finally headed out to make their way back to the city. Due to there being such a big group of people traveling together, it would take at least two days for them to reach the city.
Looking at his inventory screen, Leo understood that for now, he should save his cards and not use them right away. It was completely unknown what type of dangers he would be facing, but with the power that the four executives had shown, Leo felt that he was in safe hands.
Due to them both becoming core members of their households, Leo and his squad were not tied up. They were completely free to travel without the worry of any danger, and just kept a very casual running pace.
Once night set in, the group decided to stop and set up a small camp inside a cave. The executives would take turns guarding the entrance while the rest of the group slept.
