565 Meeting The Experts
Only a few came here and listened, and they were all part of the weak races. Either their bodies were small, or their numbers were.
“See that place?” I leant over one of my fallen gods, pointing at a densely packed race member, “hit it once!”
“Affirmative!” the fallen god responded, and the next moment a brutal attack landed.
*Boom!*
A big cloud of dust and fire emerged and expanded fast, enveloping almost half of that race’s members.
In just a single hit, tens of thousands died! And with that attack, the entire world ushered under an ear deafening silence that was soaked with stress and tension.
“Move out, now! Or stand there and die!” I shouted, waved my glaive high in the air in a couple rounds to add more to this scene.
Under such irresistible force of mine, and with the promising calm world around, no one was fools to resist. They knew they were bound to me by contracts, but they thought with their number they could make a difference here.
But who would stand a chance with all my forces here?
Under the threat of death, they all moved. In less than an hour, they all got to select their best suitable tools and machines, and started working on the trees around.
The first minutes of their work, they chopped lots of trees, leaving behind equal sizes tubular shaped woods piled in big heaps.
[I’m sending the five now] at this moment, the lady sent this message, making me know the experts were finally coming.
*Fwoosh!*
A single portal opened, and five silhouettes came out from it. Three old men and two middle aged ones, with no youngsters in this group.
They were all giants! I didn’t even recognise the races they all belonged to.
But the moment they came out, their eyes shone as they were instantly attracted by the world of trees here.
An expert of fire would find the depth of hell interesting and magical! I signed their five contracts, while giving them time to appreciate this place.
I watched the five go and check the chopped woods by my men. I saw a look of surprise and shock over their faces, a reaction that told me things were much better than I initially thought.
“Come on board, let’s have a talk first,” after leaving them for half an hour moving around and checking the woods, I moved my chariot and brought the five on board.
The five stood in front of me, looking with a look of doubt that they couldn’t hide. Of course seeing such a weak race dude standing in front of them and acting like a mighty lord of a mighty race was shocking indeed.
They might be thinking I had someone backing me up, or I was just a front for a mysterious dude with a sensitive identity and history.
But I wasn’t! I was the sole ruler of this world, and I owned everything here, even them. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Welcome, I’m Hye, and I’ll be your lord from now on.”
“Hello lord,” they bowed in fake respect without expressing any of their doubts towards me.
“What do you think of my world here?” I moved my hand around, pointing at the distant world filled with trees.
During the past hour, my boys here worked and cleared a big zone of trees. It felt like this part of the world got barren all of sudden.
Just looking at such change that happened fast made me inwardly sigh. Races… They were like locusts and cancerous beings in this universe, turning anything green into ruins.
“It’s… A paradise for people like us,” the oldest one said with such a long sigh, “it’s a waste that it ended up in the hands of such a hum…”
*Snap!*
*Thud!*
I only snapped my fingers, and that rude dude fell dead. A look of horror appeared on the other four faces, while I said in cold tone:
“I don’t care how you look at humans, but when you look at me, always remember that I’m your lord. And if I wasn’t that mighty, you wouldn’t have ended up serving me.”
“…”
The shock of losing one of their groups was immense to let them even speak. They looked at me in respect, doubt, and obvious fear.
“I know you were treated like kings at the place you were at, and you will be treated as such if you keep working well for me. However… Defy me, or show any sign of disrespect and you’ll end up like that jerk here.”
I kicked that dead body and in the next moment, it went off flying. I didn’t forget to claim my loot from his inventory before throwing him away like a useless bag of sh*t.
“And now, let me ask you again… What do you think of this world?”
“L… Lord,” the oldest one of the group right now spoke in such a shaky tone, “we… Examined a few of the wood and they are really of high grade.”
“All of them?” I raised one eyebrow in response to his surprising claims.
“Yes, lord. And that’s why we were excited and…” he paused, and I got what he wanted to say. Seeing such a treasured world in the hands of a weak human might be a waste in their eyes.
But I didn’t focus on what they felt and jumped over their assignment.
“I want you to supervise the entire process here. This world is covered with trees, and it’s very huge! Arrange the woods into grades, with the rare and very high grades being stored aside. The rest will be prepared to be given to the Bringold impact.”
“Lord…” that dude that I didn’t know his name and didn’t care to know, said while looking at the other three, “these woods can bring you a fortune! Don’t sell them cheap to those greedy folks.”
“Lose a fortune?” I knew these guys were judging me by the outer surface, by being a human. But who said I was even concerned about payment coming from this trade?
