737: Operation Arid Soil : Part Forty-Eight

“Can you understand what I am saying?” back at the solar temple, everything had gone without a hitch, Benerib had successfully found and convinced the other sanguine followers nearby to group-up here, and all had been made to sign the contract, making the worshippers of the pale red sun the most numerous of Ir’Houwl living soldiers, both in terms of pure numbers and amount of arm-bearers, none of them were bearer of titles however, Cheops remained the only Ersta’la.

With all of these three faiths working together and this sort of numbers, they might actually be capable of making a city sweat a little all on their own, the simple fact that the trio seemed to be back in town would be enough to make quite a lot of livings panic as the memory of the attempted coup was still kept alive to remind everyone of the crimes of past.

As for the mission to take over the ghost town, it had also been a success, not a single problem had occurred, and they had even brought back an unexpected prize, in the form of a big fellow that was currently hanging from the ceiling via hooks stabbed into his hands.

His legs were tied together but that did not stop the giant from trying to wriggle and wiggle out of his restrains, emitting bestial grunts and growling at the minor lord without seeming to even sense the difference in power at all.

She was trying to see if the livings were correct about the fact that giants could not communicate, with the blessing of comprehension by her side, she could check with ease whether or not the redheaded living actually was closer to a beast than a person, and unfortunately, her living soldiers were right, there was nothing she could say that the giants was even slightly reaction to, he just kept thrashing around like a madman and grunting without stop.

Since they were supposedly an eradicated species, she had hoped to get this one to cough up if there were more, so as to gather them and possibly create a big distraction for the livings to deal with and divert more attention around so as to allow her to take over a city and its towns with greater simplicity.

Still, there was also the matter of the ghost town itself, which had apparently been cleansed of all remnants of a previous massacre, that was rather curious as well, and it was also where a believed extinct species showed up again, Ir’Houwl felt like the abandoned town had been used for something after the slaughter.

To her, it felt likely that despite the fact that the plan for a new city was abandoned, that someone had found use for the hollow remnants this project had left behind, and that it had required a deep cleanse for some reason.

In any case, Ir’Houwl manifested red sand, and sent it right into the giant’s mouth and nose, suffocating him until he lost consciousness before making it all disappear.

“You can dissect him all you want, do be careful though, he is stronger than his miserable durability might indicate” the bird-headed undead took the giant away and into his clinic of horrors, where the unfortunate giant would make the acquaintance of many types of novel pain.

After that, the next few days, if one counted days as full cycles of the roaming sun like the people of this realm did, were uneventful, Ir’Houwl had read through all of the sandstone tablets already and gotten every of the contracted living to tell her what they knew, which turned out to not be that much at all, the illusory, cleansing and sanguine followers were wanderers after all, two of which were dangerous groups of murderers whilst the other was a group of thieves, they didn’t know that much as all of the one’s she actually had access to had been born when they were all already wanderers, they had never personally known times before that. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

So they were actually heavily disconnected from what went down in the big cities and closer to the center of the desert, they only knew basics facts and stories of the past, the only one who had actually joined one of the three faith later in life instead of born into it was Meritites who had found herself attracted to being a butcher for the longest time, but then, she was an even worse source of information as her days before becoming a cleanser were spent trying to find ways to kill something.

Ir’Houwl felt like she was a bit short on concrete information.

Apart from that, the different worshippers were getting along, it seemed like the simple fact of seeing Cheops walk around whilst holding Meritites’s hand was enough to make any of them reevaluate a lot of things, if someone could get so nicely along with a psycho, then they could easily get along one another too.

That, and perhaps a certain portion were dreaming of being in the same situation as the Ersta’la, the success rate of such endeavours was low, very low.

One was lucky that the contract prevented them from harming one another as the poor fellow tried to hit on Benerib and almost paid the price of his transgression with his two arms, the masked girl was the exact opposite of approachable, one should better state their intentions from ten meters away before doing anything else, that, or be prepared for the attack.

A dual wielder that wore a mask and interpreted interest from the opposite sex as an obvious sign of aggression- Ir’Houwl did not know why, but she was rather fond of the arm-bearer in red, she would definitely keep that girl around once she was turned into an undead.

“Lord Ir’Houwl, the foul one is coming” the living in question ran up to the minor lord, whilst pointed up at the sky.

Mere moments before Prime Undeviginti completely faded away after the decoy suns were all swallowed back and the roaming suns zoomed through the sky, turning pale blue, the sand turning white, and a single, giant eye opening on its solar surface.

Watchful Undeviginti was back, and its eye darted to a particular location, following a certain line until it landed right on the city.

It seemed clear that it had no idea what was happening when it wasn’t around, as the sun had just stared right at where the first camp of the undead had been before following the oases to the city, squinting with inquisition, probably noticing that something was odd, but unfortunately, by the time its eye had opened, all livings had hidden inside of houses whilst Benerib herself had ran into the solar temple.

Staring directly at Ir’Houwl for a few seconds, the minor lord staring back.

Then, dozens of comets emerged from the watchful one.
