Chapter 328: Left And Right

ONE HOUR LATER

Kahn stood in the center of a podium arranged at one end of this 4 kilometer long ground where more than 20 thousand prisoners were gathered and surrounded by nearly four thousand armed guards, a thousand on all four sides.

On Kahn's left side, a thousand soldiers in gray armor, whose origin was unknown to everyone even now stood with the wooden crates on their hands.

Using a sound amplifying artifact, Kahn spoke to all the inmates who were fed and sheltered using the taxpayer's money despite deserving to die in a cold night.

"Inmates of the Riker Prison, my name is Kahn Salvatore. Some of you might have heard of me recently. As for those who didn't.. Let me formally introduce myself." spoke Kahn as if he was a politician who came here to do some charity work.

"I am someone who is now the Sovereign of the Verla.s.sen mountain range. Now it has been declared as my fiefdom so in other words, I'm its rightful ruler." he explained.

"Today… I came here to meet all of you despite being very tight on my schedule.

To offer you a G.o.dsend opportunity." spoke Kahn in a vehement tone.

"Soon, you all will be sent to different borders of the fiefdom, enlisted in the military and forced to fight against the yearly monster tide without proper training or weapons.

Well.. Dying such a useless death is indeed befitting for low pieces of s.h.i.+t like you people.. But I'm a magnanimous lord who cares even for the worst of the people in my rule.

So I will give you two choices." spoke Kahn after berating the thousands of people in front of him, instantly garnering their hatred.

"On your left, there are blood-bind contracts held by my people.

The terms are that you will willingly follow me till your dying moments and accept whatever orders I give to you. Whether it's fighting against a monster tide or guarding my backyard. You will have no free choice or any form of freedom whatsoever.

In other words.. This is a Slave Contract." revealed Kahn in a happy tone as if he was doing a kindness to these people.

These blood-bind contracts were something Kahn bought with his own money and he had to spend 200 million gold coins from his own pockets. And these weren't even the ten percent of what he brought from the capital.

"I will personally see to it that you're all well-fed, well-armed and trained so that you don't die in vain… although none of you deserve a good death anyway.

So if you like my kind and generous offer, go to your left and complete the blood-binding ritual.

However, if you don't want to accept my offer and still go through old methods where your fate is uncertain, you can stand on the right side." He spoke as both his hands spread to two different sides.

The expression on his face seemed like he was doing a great service to these criminally insane prisoners.

"Pfft! What the f.u.c.k did I just hear?" laughed dozens of prisoners after Kahn's sudden offer.

"Who the h.e.l.l does this kid think he is? Lord my a.s.s!"

"He thinks he's some hot s.h.i.+t because he is made the ruler of this place. How about giving me a weapon?.. I'll show him who's the boss!" exclaimed one of the tall and burly wolfkin inmates.

Soon, thousands of the prisoners started laughing at Kahn as if they were looking at a fool.

And despite a minute pa.s.sed… not a single one of them moved towards the soldiers holding the crates.

"Airshh… So many ungrateful people." spoke Kahn with an expression as if he was somehow wronged.

"Aren't I being kind to these people already? Don't you think so, mister Rotich?" asked Kahn to the middle-aged man.

To his question.. The middle-aged man only had a complicated reaction..

"You are, my lord. Just that some people don't know how to see what's good for them." replied Rotich with an awkward expression.

"I guess I have no choice but to help them open their eyes." spoke Kahn and let out a long sigh.

But the very next moment… his eyes turned furious and a loud burst of black and red aura exploded out of his body.

Shockwaves of fierce wind shook all the people around him as their clothes fluttered from the outburst of Kahn's aura.

Unlike the people from prison's management or the soldiers who came with Kahn.. All the prisoners ama.s.sed in this 4 kilometers long ground felt like a monster was standing right in front of them.

And before anyone of them could get the gist of the things.. Kahn summoned Lucifer and threw it high in the air.

In the following moments, hundred aura swords appeared that were made from five different elements and quickly coalesced around the black greatsword with crimson vein patterns on the blade.

And in just 20 seconds.. A 250 meters long ginormous sword formed in the air that leaked the mix of different elements from it.

"Dragon Strike!"

Kahn shouted and launched his biggest single-strike attack in the middle of the open ground.

BOOM!!

An ear-deafening explosion occurred and shook the entire open ground as hundreds of long and deep crevices formed in the middle of this ground. Hundreds of prisoners were flung in the air and fell on the sides.

Shocked! Let it be the prison management or the prisoners who barely managed to stand up after this loud and ground-shattering strike had a shocked and scared expression.

With just a single strike.. Kahn killed more than 2,000 of these criminals made of rapists and murderers. Their mangled, shredded and torn up bodies dying the ground red with a pool of blood.

The very next second, Kahn's image flickered and he appeared right in the center of the crowd and activated war dominance albeit very weakly. But enough to scare them out of their wits.

"I hear that you f.u.c.kers have been creating a lot of noise lately.

Beating up the guards, killing other inmates for fun and trying to escape from time to time.

I feel bad for them, you know.

So I think it's better to lessen their burden a bit." said Kahn with a disheartened expression on his face.

He looked at the jailer and spoke loudly.

"Don't you think it'll be good if I decrease the numbers? After all, the lesser people you have to look after.. The easier it is to manage the prison, right?" asked Kahn to the snakekin.

In response.. The beginner grandmaster snakekin nodded and spoke in a merry voice.

"Excellent idea, my lord. I wonder why I did not think of this myself." he said and let out a chuckle.

Kahn's gaze then s.h.i.+fted to all the people looking at him as he turned his head around and looked around the thousands of scared prisoners who were trying to run away from him to save their lives.

"Now then.." spoke Kahn and gave a menacing look to everyone around. His words then resounded in the whole open group as he asked in a deathly voice..

"Who wants to reconsider their choice?"
