Bab 323: No mercy

My voice echoed throughout the city centre. I have issued my first order and the populace complied, falling to the ground like a tidal wave.

However, as I expected, there were some that refused to kneel. Many seemed too malnourished or disillusioned to care who was leading them, yet some could not hide the fury in their eyes. 

I did offer for them to challenge me if they dared and I hoped that some did, as it would only cement my position as their new ruler. 

"I see we still have some that deny my authority." Jumping off the platform into the air, I gestured them to move so I could land. The people below me promptly got out of the way and an empty circle was formed right in the middle of the crowd. 

"You fools who dare to challenge me, come!" By this point, everyone stood back up so they could witness my power in action. The people who did not accept my declaration came forward, forming a group of at least 50 people.
