Finishing the deal

"Line up, maggots! You won't have anyone else but yourself to blame if your new lord won't pick you!"

There was no way in which I could go through all the former slaves from the Nakal tribe by myself. With how happy the Overlord was with the initial results of the foundation alone for my shitty barrier technique, I actually managed to get him to organise everyone and bring them to one place.

"Off you go."

Nodding to the two girls on my sides, I let them out of my imaginary leash, as if I was sending the hunting dogs after their prey. Even if the analogy was quite a bit passive-aggressive as compared to their real aim, it fitted insanely well the feeling I had while watching them walk towards the line of scared people.

The absolute priority in picking the first batch of people that would follow me to the island was the families of Gabriel and his other helper.
