《Restarting life as a peasant》Chapter 25
Advertisement
She looked at the spearheads with disinterested eyes and said “good”. Then turned her guards, all of them were looking at the weapons with dropped jaws. She turned to me and said “Are those that good?” I said “Yes, they are that good.” She brings out a pouch of money. And give me “ All 200 of the golds here.” I started to count them in front of her. She was clearly annoyed. Me not falling to her charm and not trusting her started to get to her “How can you think, I a noble woman try to fool a peasant like you” I said “Money has no bloodlines, just pure value.” What that meant I didn’t know either. I just liked annoying her, because of her fussy behavior. She said “We will need further weapons acquirements later. For now that is enough, we are leaving.” I said “Did Bruce tell you about the Avengers of Altus?” She turned me “I will not get involved whatever the crazy cult they are” I said “If you have organized with them you can much more easily defeat the Baron” She stopped, thinking for a second and said “No, I don’t want to” I didn’t want to annoy her that much. I still needed her help for dividing Baron’s troops. I said “sorry my lady, I didn’t mean to offend you. Can I at least ask you some questions?” She stopped, looked at me and said “Ok, ask away quickly” I said “How powerful barons troops are?” She looked around and said “I believe he has around 50 city guards and around 100 other soldiers dispersed in villages. He has a total of 12 knights. I said “Isn’t that number small?” Bruce spoke “The greatest possession of his is Baldenburg city, other than that he only has 30 villages. With around 400 people on average. I made the math in my mind. He had a 10.000 population city and 12.000 people in villages. Of course Baldenburg being the only city around this part actually over a hundred villages do business there. Kings liked making their nobles reliant on other parts of the country. That made lords much less likely to cause any rebellion. When compared to a total of 22.000 people, the number of 150 soldiers didn’t seem that little. I didn’t think Alfred could levy more soldiers from his villages due to them being malnourished serfs or his city due to the city being his main money source and he needing people in there to do crafting and trading necessary for his coffers. But he definitely could hire mercenaries. I said to them “The Avengers planning making their move in the north in three months’ time. Let's attack simultaneously. Gloria thinks a little “In three months’ time my troops will be ready in the west of the land. I had one more question “Where did you guys find the soldiers? 200 spearheads means 200 spearmen is it not?” Bruce looked at Gloria and she said “I said the baron on the west I would marry him if he found me 200 volunteers and I won the war. He already forced 200 of his peasants to fight on my side, but he was too afraid to use his own troops because of fear of the king's wrath. I said ‘what an idiot’ inside. She was playing him. And he was going to lose many of his peasants over that stupid dream. Man should know their place. I guessed If Alfred didn’t find any good mercenary troops soon he would be going to pay a hell of a price.

The Chimera's Dungeon
Reborn in a fantasy world as a Dungeon Core. This story follows the protagonist as finds himself thrown into a new word. A world filled with magic and monsters. Now, normally, this would fill our protagonist with a lot of excitement and, admittedly, a little bit of fear - if it weren't for that fact that he is one of the monsters. A dungeon core, harbingers of death and fortune. And so, his current circumstances instead fill him with a lot of fear and maybe just a little bit of excitement. Join the adventure to watch that fear fade away as he realises just how limitless the power at his ‘fingertips’ is. The power of creation and destruction. Of life and death. Additional Tag(s): OP Main Character - The MC is definitely stronger than other Dungeons of the same age, however, he is by no means the strongest in the world. Yet.

In the not too distant future, the world is settling down after world war 3, recovering and rebuilding. From the ruins, new communities and governments arise, along with Talents, people with extraordinary abilities. Amongst the groups is the Community, based in Europe, an inclusive group of towns that values everyone, regardless of Talent status. Leading the recruitment charge is Zoe, a powerful technomancer, one of the first generation of Talents. On her adventures, what will happen? Your votes will decide. A/N: I'll update chapters when I get to places where I feel it's right, I don't know where to go and want some direction or would like to have you help with the narrative in some way. Having others make choices forces me to be creative and I think that's when I'm at my best. Keep an eye out for polls in post chapter notes, they usually last 2 days. As always, love each other, and know I am grateful for every single person who reads my works.

I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair.He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal."This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice."But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?"I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?""1200 dollars a week."I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?""Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO.""We shall see."...Brave but lonely.Passionate but sensitive.That's Arielle Summers.
