"How is work going?"The first thing I did after stepping upon the sh.o.r.e and being greeted with was to ask this most important question. With how long I took to even get back, it wouldn"t be any surprise to me if the Overlord"s troops would already be on their way here!
"Seven hundred canoes are ready already. We should finish the rest of them in an hour or so."
The first one to approach me and answer my question was obviously the princess. The fun part about her was that despite her already offering her body to me, I still had no clue what her name was!
But there was nothing I could do about it but just ask!
"By the way, what is even your name?"
As if the lightning hit the ground, the princess froze in place. But what the h.e.l.l did she look as if I just told her I raped her house and demolished her family after I just mentioned her name!
"If its some kind of problem for you, I don"t mind withholding this question…"
With the type of reaction I got out of her with that simple request, there was no way I would push forward with it. I could only wait for her to either explain her behaviour or just answer my d.a.m.ned question!
"It"s not like I don"t want to answer… But the moment I became the princess… I kinda turned into your own female, making you the one who should actually name me!"
Well, that was one kind of approach… But why should I even name her in the first place? Like, I understood the reason, or at least could pretend to understand it, but why should I actually care for such tradition? While naming someone wasn"t wrong in the first place, I just didn"t want everyone to think whatever they would do if I went through with this request.
After all, just like kneeling in front of someone on earth has its meaning, naming someone was a privilege of parents and parents alone there. If I were to name her right here and now, I had no idea what kind of troubles I would be putting on my head for the future!
"Well… I don"t really want you to just settle with some random name I would come up with on the spot…."
Before I managed to finish my sentence, my focus was broken with a shouting I could somehow hear coming from the depths of the forest. Raising my hand to gather everyone"s attention on me, I put my finger on my lips to make sure all the noise would stop.
"Just one last stretch!"
"Prepare for a.s.sault!"
With how only a small part of the people around me would notice my silent order, those two short sentences were all I could make up from all the multiple voices coming from the forest. But that was more than enough to confirm that one of my greatest worries came true.
"Everyone! Move out to the sh.o.r.e! If you won"t fit into the s.h.i.+p, just grab its side and swim by yourself! The overlord is here!"
Shouting on top of my lungs, I took a moment to look at the Princess below my feet. While dressed in skimpy clothes, even after my shout, instead of looking terrified, she appeared as if she was ready to fight. And I didn"t need anything else to figure out a name for her with that.
"Your name will be Xenna. Now, I order you. Go and lead all those people towards the land I prepared for them. When you will arrive at the island, you need to wait for me, but if I won"t be coming back in a few days time, just march into the gate leading to the tower. DISMISSED!"
With a voice clearly showing I wouldn"t accept any negotiations on the content of my orders, I tightened my grasp on my Snakesbite before starting to run towards the line of the threes.
With how close the enemy was, I had to slow down their advance if I wanted to save as many people as I could from the fate of being killed. But I didn"t need to appear openly as the enemy of Overlord"s troops!
After moving about two hundred meters inside the forest, I found a small clearing about three meters wide. Jumping rights to its middle, I looked towards the multiple energy signatures in front of me.
"Why the h.e.l.l are you trying to attack the slaves I rounded up myself? Are you really seeking death?"
Standing in the open, I was putting myself at risk of a concentrated attack that even my s.h.i.+eld could possibly be unable to handle, especially with how I didn"t even cast it in the first place. No matter what, I still wanted their side to be the one attempting to spill my blood first.
"Stop spewing nonsense! We saw you swimming towards them! How could they be in your power if you didn"t even make sure to stop them from escaping?"
Well, that"s a point for him. At this point, I had no other option than to use my greatest triumph card! It was time to blast them into nothingness with my unstoppable exho… eee… dao of bulls.h.i.+ting!
"And who told you that being a slave means always looking for the way to escape? With how you treated them, it"s no wonder they wanted to escape from me, but after their women learned about the size of my d.i.c.k, and their men watched me f.u.c.k their wifes silly, neither of them could refuse to experience this pleasure again, forcing them into absolute obedience!"
Okay, as I was saying those words, I already knew I crossed the line. There was simply no way that they would believe such a c.r.a.p of insane lies! There has to be some limit to either human naivety or just plain stupidity!
"There are only two things that are limitless. The universe, and human stupidity, out of which, I"m not so sure about the first one." Was what the famous scientist, Albert Einstein supposedly said. But why did those words flashed in my mind as I thought that this bulls.h.i.+t had no chance of working?
