Transmigrate to another world

Chapter 191 Travel [ 1 ]

"slavers? they don't know this place has fallen. they must be planning to make a delivery."

pol says "what are your orders, lord klein?"

"ambush them, kill all the slavers and guards. free the slaves, we will take them with us to the rebellion."

pol says "with pleasure!"

pol runs off and the fifty beastmen follow him, more join them before they reach the road out of the mines. in total around three hundred beastmen run up the road, all eager for blood. i almost feel sorry for those slavers, almost.

lizzy wanders over to get some scratches, it is almost like she is telling me she wasn't worried. since there really isn't anything for me to do i spend the time the beastmen are gone giving lizzy a good grooming. about an hour passes before i see pol returning.

there are only two hundred beastmen with him, worried about losses i head over to see what happened. when i get closer i see about fifty of the beastmen are ones i haven't seen before and they are in rough shape. i'm guessing those are the freed slaves, but that means about one hundred and fifty beastmen are missing. discover hidden content at empire

pol says "mission accomplished, lord klein."

"did you take a lot of losses?"

pol says "oh, no. they will be along with the wagons and corpses. we didn't suffer any casualties, and all the enemies are dead."

"excellent! get these guys through the portal so they can get proper treatment."

pol says "yes, sir! right away!"

pol rushes off shouting orders and the newly freed slaves are quickly taken through the portal. about thirty minutes later the rest of the beastmen arrive with three wagons full of corpses. the corpses are quickly stripped and tossed on the pile, then the wagons are filled with loot and positioned to go through the portal.

once again i am impressed with how smoothly things are accomplished. ever since that roar i haven't seen a single instance of beastmen of different types arguing. maybe it really is possible to break the tribes and forge them into a nation.

being a king is not what i want to do, but it is starting to look like i am going to have to. i will have to keep pol close, he has good organizing skills, the kind that will be useful if i become king. if i am going to end up being a king whether i want to or not it is better to be prepared for it.

she is comfortable to sleep against and i know her senses are better than mine so not much can sneak up on her. when i wake up in the morning pol is sitting nearby waiting, i am starting to wonder if he even sleeps. as i sit up and stretch i notice there are only a few beastmen in sight.

pol says "morning, my lord."

"morning, pol. how are things looking?"

pol says "one group left to go and then you and i will be the only ones left."

"good. all the resources are through? and what's left is set to burn?"

pol says "the last of the resources went through yesterday, and everything else is ready."

"good."

pol stands up and waves at two beastmen, they both come running over. one is carrying a small tray with food on it, the other is carrying a large tub full of meat. the tub of meat is set before lizzy as the other beastman hands me the tray, then they both bow and leave.

lizzy and i eat our breakfast and watch as the last group of beastmen go through the portal. pol and i are the only ones left and as i am finishing my food he is preparing a bunch of torches. he seems quite eager to set this place on fire, but that's understandable since he was a slave here for so long.

"all set?"

pol says "yes, my lord."

"then burn it all!"

pol says "yes!"

pol quickly lights his torches and runs off like a kid running off to play. as i saddle up lizzy i hear the fwoosh of a building going up in flames. by the time i mount lizzy all the buildings are burning and pol is waiting by the portal with one last torch in hand.

as i ride lizzy over to the portal pol turns and throws the torch onto the pile of corpses. pol takes one last long look around before stepping through the portal ahead of me and lizzy. lizzy balks at the edge of the portal and refuses to go through until i assure her it will be alright.
