Chapter 23 Krad'thir's pov, to the beastman kingdom with more schemes

---Captain of the Main escort's pov---

As a Tiger beastman, I was very curious about anything new that I come across like the place that we are at now.

Every time I come to this place, I can't help but stare in awe at the exquisite walls and defenses that this place has.

What made me wary of this strange group was not the moving elephants and its relative that has two spinning trunks like those...

What was it called again?

Ah yes, I remember now.

Turrets.

But back to what I was talking about.

What made me fear this group of strangers that now surpassed the power of the united kingdom was how they can strengthen anyone to surpass the common soldiers despite whatever debilitated condition they had!

Weakened physique, Crippled or missing limbs?

None of that mattered as some of the people that were brought here not too long ago now surpassed me in strength!

While i'd be embarrassed if it were another kingdom, here it just seemed so natural that i can't even think such things~

If that wasn't strange enough for you they seem to have someone that is either really powerful or some kind of god, that even those at the 4th level would praise.

It was Yuri, when we first heard it we all assumed it was Yui regardless we thought it was some goddess or something like that.

as for why I am getting into this?

I just want to get it off my chest as I truly never what to see another 'incident' happen like before.

One idiot from the escorts that brought the previous batch carelessly mentioned this while being in this fortress.

He was a thug that was hired since the Wolfman had the suitable amount of power to take this task reminding us for next time to focus on their character first rather than power.

"So this Yui or whatever it that person a hot bitch or something?"

the name sounded female and thanks to his wolf traits any fuckable female was a bitch to him but even then I still shivered in fear from remembering what happened to that thug that was brought along since we lacked the manpower at the time.

Everyone that was part of the fortress all stopped then looked at the man that nearly gotten all of us killed!

Can you imagine what it is like for a thousand people that surpassed you in strength all of the sudden looked in your direction?

Mind you, I was beside the damned fool when it happened as even now I remembered the group of grey-skinned men that acted first their body size was double my height and more so when it came to the muscle part!

With ten of these guys looming over us looking at the man that spoke out loud, the seeming leader asked this as his large hand grabbed hold of the man's head.

"Young man, did you say something about master Yuri?"

While this large man had a strange accent the amount of strength he showed when his hand landed on his head was obvious as the ground cracked under the idiot that was shuddering in fear as he stunk of piss and shit!

He was no proud wolf anymore, but a whimpering dog!

The man that held the wolfman by the head asked me this.

"Can i have this Dog to 'play' with?"

I gulped heavily as the word 'play' was laced with a terrifying feeling that made me unable to reject thus I readily agreed despite knowing what his possible outcome will be.

But what happened next made me underestimate just how much they revered the one called Yuri.

The large man looked to the others like him then said with a vicious grin was the wolfman was yelping out for help!

"ITS PLAY TIME~"

A woman with four eyes stood near them as they proceeded to rip small pieces of flesh and the occasional bone from the beastman!

But some kind of blue aura covered the man being brutally ripped to shreds as his body was restored, Yes restored! something that even healers of the united kingdom and the others were incapable of!

But even then this uplifting discovery was quickly overshadowed by what followed as the wolfman suffered through this and was restored 100 times before they were done 'playing' with him!

The Gray man now covered in blood smiled at me before handing me a small bottle with a pointed tip at the bottom as he stated.

"Since our 'playmate' broke, you can have this, it can save your life by stabbing it into your body, it can only be used once, should it be exposed to the air it will be rendered useless."

While I received the strange gift I truly didn't know what to feel, one of my people had just been killed yet I was excited to receive such an item, As on our way back, we were attacked by bandits, and my son who was part of the escort nearly died from a blow that almost cut him in half!

So when I remember the particular potion I had received, then without hesitation I stabbed it into my son's arm his injures quickly closed then became able to move within a few minutes!

This strange group had the kind of medicine that could heal almost any injury, the resources to create such a bizarre fortress, an army that could make any kingdom think twice about provoking them, it's no wonder that our king wanted to have good relations with this group.

I came across the 'healer' whom I respectfully greeted as the way that the other inhabitants of this place treated her reminded me of how we do to our priestess.

So one thing came to mind, She was someone of high status!

I spoke to my men and son before arriving about people to avoid and those to never disrespect, I was somewhat relieved when there were no incidents this time around, and hopefully, it stays that way!

"Lady Gamma, it is a pleasure to see you again, how is 'your' Master yuri?"

The woman, that looked like a four-eyed blonde elf, with her long ears twitch in delight, wearing strange yet stimulating clothes that emphasized her voluptuous body bloomed a beautiful smile taking the breath away from the males in our group me included but I knew better than to try my luck.

As the one thing, I was sure and clear on, adding the word 'master' before even saying the name Yuri ALWAYS made these people here regardless of what their standing was and how powerful they were it would put them in a good mood and you might have a chance of being helped by them or receive a gift as I was right now.

As for this particular woman saying that Yuri was 'hers' made her more satisfied than anything!

Gamma greeted me back while handing a potion like the one that saved my son before as she replied with a bell-like voice.

"My master Yuri, is doing well on this fine day, How have you been Krad'thir?"

I returned the smile with one of my own as it was felt good when a beauty says my name~

After exchanging pleasantries, I notified her that the new batch of slaves and additional troops to join her ranks had arrived and that I was to escort them back to the kingdom to complete their part of the deal.

She nodded as she pointed at the floating object that had just arrived above them!

"Our builder will be traveling to your kingdom using our Floating disc to ease your burdens."

I simply gawked with my jaw somewhat hanging as I thought to myself.

"Just when I thought I saw everything this place surprises me yet again!"

As I reflexively nodded with my eyes locked on the 'floating disc' another word to remember and report to the king later.

While this was okay too, all the plans to 'get close' to the builder and form a connection with the person went down the drain.

---End of Krad'thir's pov---

Mikhail was making sure that no one else other than his own troops would get to see until he was considered strong enough to handle whatever this world can throw at him, especially last time when he learned their plans of meeting the 'builder' face to face~

But for time to head to the Beastman Kingdom as a certain group of Snake women were now willing to join his units should he ask this time around.

As for why? heh sorry wait till the next chapter~
