The first step 8

020-The first step 8

Two days later Jake was reunited with Lily.

"Lily from now on we are going to enter the second phase of the plan, this phase is more important and dangerous than the previous one and the objective is now several, unlike before it was just one" Jake paused and continued. "Can work with that, Lily?

Lily replied immediately "Lily can do it; the master doesn't have to worry about Lily. Master, has Lily done well so far?"

Jake sighed at Lily's question and thought to himself. 'Sometimes Lily really looks like a child looking for approval, I wonder how old she really is.,

"You did well Lily." When Jake said this Lily grinned from ear to ear. "The first part is to bring back the corpses of the dead gnolls and goblins that have been left behind in the various battles that have taken place these past two days. The second part is to continue to ambush gnolls in small groups, but now you can also ambush the goblins, as long as they are in small groups of course. Besides that, you no longer need arrow wounds and you can bring the bodies, but the same rule remains up. Lily, you can't let any gnoll or goblins get away."

Lily nodded as she heard this last part of Jake implying that she knew what she had to do and was trustworthy for the quest. "And finally, this is the most important part. I want you to capture and bring to the cave all the goblins and gnolls that are in groups smaller than 10 and that are injured."

"Understood master, Lily will do what the master ordered. Master, no need to worry Lily is trustworthy"

When Lily said the last sentence Jake had a bad feeling that made him think. 'Whoever calls their self-reliable? It reminds me of those unreliable merchants from my past life who came knocking on my door with unclear and unsafe business.'

With Lily starting the second part of Jake's plan, Jake's most urgent problem was temporarily solved. After all, this was a problem that could never be completely solved, at least for now; the problem was the lack of food. Demons could eat everything including gnolls and goblins although gnolls were not tasty they were edible; goblins were tastier than gnolls but their flesh was tougher.

At the same time with the prisoners arriving Jake could begin to exert his magic. Necromancy magic needed living souls to be converted into skeletons. The higher the class of necromancy magic, the faster living souls could convert into skeletons, the more skeletons they could control and the stronger the living souls could be converted. At Jake's current magic class level, it was impossible to convert a dragon soul into a dragon skeleton.

At the same time, in a place where no one knew, two voices rose in the air, the voices were impotent and majestic, giving anyone who heard them goose bumps. Luckily for everyone, there was no one in that place.

"So, this was the soul you chose to represent you as the conqueror of this world. Despite the fact that you caused him to be transported to an age before he was born and made him an invading race instead of his original race of human. Losing the opportunity of being able to communicate with him" The first voice said.

"Don't worry, thanks to your chosen soul his rancour will be imaginable, I don't need to worry about not being able to communicate with him" replied the second voice.

"I have to admit, I didn't expect you to choose a soul after all these years and that soul was about to die. Although it was a risky gamble on your part, if that soul had refused your offer, you would have lost the opportunity to have a soul as a representative of your conquest of this world."

"Ahahahah, do you really think any soul would turn down the opportunity to take revenge?"

"You have once again started to let go of that superiority personality of you over others. We will talk again after a while, for now we will see how your precious choice will get away with it"
