( Status updated. Master, now you can have take oaths. It is time for you to rise.)
"Hahaha....hahaha...HAHAHAHAHA.."
I laughed loudly which echoed throughout the island. I returned to the village and slept peacefully. The next day, I ordered Dillon to prepare for the oath ceremony.
The day was busy and finally, the time came. The moon was again on the horizon and the village was completely decorated. Everyone was busy drinking, singing, eating and laughing.
It was very lively. There were new people as well. Soon exactly at 10 pm the time finally arrived.
"Everyone gather, it's time for the ceremony. My Lord, please stand here, above us." (Dillon)
Dillon requested me to stand on a high wooden box. I stood up there and the sight of so many people kneeling in front of me was a sight to behold. I realised the responsibility that I bear as their leader.
"Now, one by one, the representatives will come forward and swear the oath." (Dillon)
I thought it was lame to ask for them to swear an oath but the system prioritised the oath as an important way to form a bond.
When anyone who swears an oath to me will be unable to betray me or do anything that will harm my fame and status. If they do betray me they will die from their body exploding.
"First of all, the leader of the tribe of Beasts, the personification of a Lion, The Lion Beast Haider come in front." (Dillon)
The beast that looked like the lion with that awesome muscles and pride was called 'Haider'.
He came prepared with a large white cape, a perfect spear befitting of his size. It will be more precise to call it half sword and half spear.
"My Lord, I, Haider present my loyalty to you. I, with my man, will put their lives on the line to fulfil your desires. Please accept this weak's desire and let me serve you. I promise you will never regret this decision of yours." (Haider)
He immediately kneeled in pretence and shouted with pride and promised to serve me.
"You are accepted. However, I will not ratify any act of betrayal and unproductiveness. You shall be known as The Prideful Purple, The Lion Beast Haider." (William)
As soon as I announced the nickname he started crying out loud just like a child.
"Stop it, Haider, it is unfitting of your name, The Prideful Purple." (Dillon)
"How How *weep* how can I stop it? I got such a name. I swear on the name you provided me with, that one day I will live up to its value and make you proud." (Haider)
He controlled his emotions and made a promise. The whole crowd shouted 'Hurray' and 'Yeah' in unison. Although all of the nicknames and the dialogue is provided to me by the system.
Haider stood up and walked towards Dillon and stood behind him. Next was the turn of the four elemental leaders.
"Next, the leader of the Fire Spirits, Water Spirits, Wind Spirits and Earth Spirits, Aodh, Aqua, Alisha and Terra respectively come forward." (Dillon)
Those four were elemental spirits. It was a surprise. The fire and earth were the two twins with different hair colours and the same with the girls as well.
In unison, they shouted,
"We, the four spirits leaders are not as powerful as the Kings and Queens of the elements, however, we request of you to allow us the chance to grow stronger to be worthy of being your hands and legs or even your shield.
We put our lives under your feet please accept us as your followers and we will prove to you that your decision was not wasted."
They while kneeling just like Haider, asked for my acceptance but they shouldn't be that flashy. It is just an oath. But I had no other choice than to follow the system order.
They were dressed according to their elemental property.
"I accept you. I expect great things from you. Do not disappoint me." (William)
"Yes sir."(in unison)
" So now I will grant you your names. Firstly, The leader of Fire Spirits, Aodh, I grant you the name, The Eternal Red.
As for Aqua, I shall grant you, The Blue Tides. Alisha, the leader of the Wind spirits, I shall grant you the name, The Yellow Blades. Terra, the leader of Earth spirits shall be known as The Green Death."(William)
"Yes sir, we accept your name and promise to live up to it." (In unison)
After they were given their names they also stood behind Dillon. Then Dillon called out the other remaining representatives.
"The Leader of The underwater city of Mermaids, Aurora step in. As well as the leader of the tribe of Centaurs, Vrol step forward."(Dillon)
It was surprising for me that the dark blue-haired man with a scar was a merman. The half-bird and half man were called Vrol.
They both stepped in, kneeled and swore their oaths. The merman was only wearing blue pants.
"I, the Leader of Mermaids, Aurora and I, the leader of Centaurs, Vrol. We would like to be under your wings and share the same name. We beg for your acceptance as your followers.
We are ever ready to put our lives on the line for your sake. We will throw obey our lives if you order us to die. Please let us serve you till our death."(Aurora and Vrol)
"I accept your request. As of today, Aurora you shall be known as The Grey Hunter and Vrol shall be known as The White Eagle."(William)
"YES SIR, WE ACCEPT YOUR GIFTS GRATEFULLY. WE WILL LIVE UP TO BEING WORTHY OF SUCH NAMES. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US."
The Oath ceremony almost ended. I consulted Dillon before the ceremony and he will be my right-hand man and he will be given his name in the future.
But, neither did I know he would be known as A whole Man Army.
"I, William Vanil, promises you of your better and promise to live up to your expectations. You WILL NOT REGRET CHOOSING ME AS YOUR MASTER."(William)
"We, the representatives are grateful for your kindness. WE AND OUR SOLDIERS WILL ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WITH YOU BY OUR SIDE. WE WILL NOT EVEN DREAM OF SOMETHING AS WORST AS BETRAYING YOU. MY LORD WE OFFER OURSELVES, PLEASE USE US TO OUR FULLEST."(in unison)
I was happy with having such subordinates.
