Bab 188: Defence Of Alastine Part One

Alicia wasted no time in accepting Burgec's proposal. She did not have time to waste contemplating such things. She told Burgec that he would be the front line of defense and to try to push back any beastmen soldiers that might come after she had left. A binding contract was no simple thing. The reason why Alicia could trust Burgec so readily even though they were once enemies is because once any of his men or himself break the contract not only will they die but their entire bloodline would die with them. This was the extreme that Alicia added to the contract. Since the Beast Kingdom was made of beastmen, the bloodlines ran through most of the residents this meant that a single person within the thousands of soldiers there could end up killing millions if they broke the contract.
