HPDBC Chapter 356 Rocky Island
Chapter 356 Rocky Island
"They are pretty weak for such beast-like beastfolks" pulling her green blade from the now separated skull of one of the amphibians, Saliana looked back at Loimos, who was standing a distance away, suppressing his presence so that the denizens did not turn and start running.
"They are pretty tasty though..." taking a juicy bite out of a disembodied thigh, Irbyw tried sharing but no one was interested.
Meanwhile, Imyre dragged the last survivor, the poor thing grasping at everything that was within reach, its slippery exterior was no more, having been battered by a hail of sand, feeling completely dried, the more beast than folk was taken before Loimos, the skeleton signalling for One to demonstrate something.
The vampire dropped whatever she was doing, and proudly stepped up to the prisoner, her eyes glimmering a faint pink for an instant, calming the creature down instantaneously.
"Nope, it's more intelligent than your typical animal, but nowhere close enough to mingle with the sapient species" One, a sun-walking vampire was in a fairly bad position all things considered, her gravelord had been a traitor and was now gone for good, and the holy ground of the undead was deprived of the light she thrived upon, there were not many sun-walking vampires left at all, there had never been a great quantity of them, and even then, the majority had been culled as they ended being traitors like their progenitor.
Unless King Nitok could prove himself very convincing, one of those few would have to reach the status of gravelord themselves, and become, the new sun-walker, none of them was even close to at least being a minor lord though.

Still, once again, Loimos rose in her view, if it was somehow possible, as the Lithitree produced fruits that all undeads could use to grow stronger, coupled with a hefty dose of training, One wanted to feel like she actually served a purpose next to the pure undead.
Her vampiric charm ended up being rather useful, one just needed to ignore that Loimos could have accomplished everything her and Alizée had just done with his hands behind his back, it was all demonstration for the soldiers, they couldn't get used to the fact that their leader could solve all their problems, that would be problematic when they had to venture on their own.@@@@
"Indeed, they seem to be putting too much faith in their undead senses, wholly unsuspecting of that winged drake" Loimos confirmed, his entire body scrunching up into a much smaller form, taking the shape of a carrion bird, flying up in the air, staying right above his followers.
"Winged drake? As in a dragon?" Imyre asked, her voice much drier than it used to be.
"He would have just said dragon, he does not mix up terms" Saliana tapped her blade upon her shoulder.
"Ouuh! He must be planning on taking it in his forces" the spider woman remarked, her mouth still full with frog-people flesh.
After all, Loimos pretty much only took in naturally spawned undeads, he did not impede on the already formed forces of the main legion or the personal forces of the lords, even though he definitely could ask for some, everyone respected him the same as they did the gravelords, and he was still the general in charge of the minor lords.
But Loimos was seeking to really build an army from the ground up, as such, he scrutinised the movements of the foundation of such an army, they were not yet knowledgeable to the presence of a dreadful living on this island, but they were still very careful, the knights wanted to make the best of impression, so even if they completely believed that there were no dangers, they acted as if.
Not as good as if they had been preparing to face a winged drake, but that was still sufficient enough.
They did not bother with the crawlers, birds or crabs, all of these were fearful of them and thus not requiring attention, circling the wide span of the place for a long while, a short while for the corpses.
They eventually found a hole in the ground.
