Chapter 33: Chapter 33 - Magic To Kill
Danel was trembling with fear as he stood before Adrian. His eyes darted nervously around the clearing as he tried to form coherent sentences. Adrian, who had just used his magic to kill Danel's companion, stood tall and imposing before him.
"What do you want from us?" Danel stuttered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Adrian's expression was inscrutable as he studied the terrified barbarian. "I want to know why you were spying on my land," he replied, his voice calm and steady. The masked puppets behind his back added more intimidation to his voice and authority.
Not to mention that Adrian has an ability that grants him an improved level of authority and respect.
Danel gulped audibly, his eyes fixed on Adrian's staff. "We were sent by knife-hand barbarians to gather information about your land," he admitted, his voice shaking.
Adrian nodded, his face still unreadable. "Why does Knife Hand want to know about my land?" he asked, his tone even.
Danel hesitated before answering, his fear evident. "They want to know if it's worth attacking," he said finally, his voice barely audible.
Adrian's eyes narrowed at the barbarian's admission. "Well, I can assure you that any attack on my land will not end well for Knife Hand," he said, his voice laced with a hint of warning.
Danel nodded frantically, his eyes wide with terror. "We'll leave your land alone," he promised, before turning and fleeing back into the forest.
Adrian watched him go, his mind racing with thoughts of how best to protect his land from future attacks. He knew that he would need to be even more vigilant in the future and make sure that his puppets and wolves were always on high alert.
Adrian decided to let Danel go, as he had no reason to keep him captive. Instead, Adrian wanted to send a message to the Knife Hand Barbarians. He knew that they were watching his land, and he wanted to make sure they knew that he was not someone to be taken lightly. By letting Danel go, Adrian wanted to send the message that he was powerful and capable of defending himself and his land.
Adrian wanted to make sure that the Knife Hand Barbarians knew that he was not afraid of them and that he would take any necessary measures to protect his land and his puppets. He hoped that this would deter them from trying to attack him or his puppets.
As Danel left, Adrian watched him go, knowing that the message he wanted to send had been delivered. He knew that the Knife Hand Barbarians were still out there, watching and waiting, but he was prepared to defend his land and his people at all costs.
Of course Adrian was not a fool; from the moment that he killed one of these barbarians, in his eyes, these barbarians are his target from now on. If he can take something and not encounter any kind of problem afterwards, of course, he is going to take his chance.
"It would be good for me to give the order to look for the Barbarian Outpost clearing policies in Hope Kingdom using my caravan."
