Chapter 213: Competition

Aldrich used the same warp point he had come in to Medula's study with to leave it. He willed himself to go down to the throne room, and when he did, he beheld all of his units standing at attention, ready to fight for him.

Or at least, all the units that could stand. Most were four legged, slithering or crawling creatures.

"Your master has returned!" Valera declared with commanding force from beside the throne. Suited in her full armor like that, she undeniably projected commander type energy.

"Finally!" roared Volantis from Aldrich's other side as he slapped Aldrich's back, sending him skidding forwards with the impact.

"Good to see you two," said Aldrich, registering damage.

The units before Aldrich welcomed Aldrich back with grunts and growls and clicks and other auditory cues using their monstrous bodies.

"I know you've all been waiting some time for me. And I'm sure you've been bored doing nothing but sitting around here," said Aldrich.
