Chương 25: Surrender!

"Now, do you two want to fight...or?"

"We will surrender!!"

Both elders raised there, and with a shaking expression put their faces on the ground kneeling.

"Well then... Nezumi!"

Ren sighed and called for Nezumi. Nezumi appeared behind Ren in just a minute. Feeling her by his side, Ren looked at the surrounding.

Dead bodies of dog, bunny, and cat clan members lay on the ground dead. Their blood dyed the ground red and seeing the mess Ren smiled.

Praying 'Thanks for the food' inside his heart, he devoured all the bodies.

His mind tingled and he learned three skills.

His mana all recovered making him brim with energy. He looked at the two elders nearly dead.

"I will give u both names, from today, u will join...uh..."

"Arashi village"

"Oh yes, bring all ur clansmen there. We will have another naming ceremony."

Hearing that, the two elders looked at Ren dumbfounded. But they nodded.

"Neko." He directed this to cat elder.

"Usagi" He named bunny elder.

After naming them, he let them go. He didn't put most of them on his eyes at all.

Being alive was the main thing, so the elder didn't even help each other and dashed. Ren looked at them and sneered. He could command them whenever he want anyway, so he didn't care about them.

The war didn't even last for a day, and it is already finished.

But, Ren doesn't feel like anything. Winning the war didn't bring him joy but getting to eat those delicious bodies, made it worth it.

"Let's return."

Nezumi nodded and they went back to the village.

While there weren't casualties in the village and not much destruction. But the soldiers were busy cleaning the spoils of war.

The elastic clothes were removed, and the villagers returned back to their work as if nothing had happened.

Ren returning there got cheers from villagers and smiles from elders. After that nothing happened until tomorrow.

************

In the morning, every villager including soldiers and elders made a crowd near the gate of the village, not knowing what to do. They looked at the scene helplessly waiting for Ren.

"Lord!"

Nezumi exclaimed.

"What?" Ren said lazily waking up from the bed. While he slept like standing, it is still more comforting in bed than in another. And the bed is super soft and made Ren like it even more.

"We have got a guest!"

"Wut?"

"The cat and dog tribe, all clansmen are waiting for you outside the gate."

"...Is this something to panick over?"

"I think it is...What if they attack us..."

"They can't."

"Huh?"

"Let's go."

Leaving the dumbfounded Nezumi, Ren slid toward the village entrance and saw two elders kneeling down while other clansmen also bowing.

Seeing the scene may shock others, but Ren knew this. While other clansmen coming was something he didn't imagine, it was imaginable for the elders to come since they are bound by Ren.

"Ok, guys. One by one, come inside... Hey you guys, go and cook something for our guests here."

"Ok, Lord."

Everyone dispersed as Ren commanded.

He looked at the new people who gave him weird gazes. But Ren ignored them. Who doesn't like free labor?

He will be lord, they will be workers, and life will go smoothly.

With this in mind, he smiled like a shady businessman.

"Ok, guys. Let's have a naming ceremony." His enthusiastic voice made others think as if their lives depend on it.

"Let's go."

Reluctantly, they walked behind their elders.

On a stone, that Ren sat before naming others, he sat on it again. All the members queued up, and the elders from cat and dog including from Arashi village teamed up to maintain it.

Under the surveillance of the six elders, others didn't dare to do anything. While Ren didn't know why they follow the elder so much, he didn't waste his energy thinking that.

As the ceremony began, many people get weird names.

From "Hici" to "Hichi" "Bis" to "Bhis" everybody got their fair share of weird names.

Not long after, the queue shortened. In the middle of this, breakfast was served. While the food may be scarce, the war didn't even last long, so all the food stored was used here.

The naming thing continued for some time, and it ended with everyone getting their name and Ren falling sleeping due to mana depletion.
