BRAGR) Recruitment (Patreon)

I patted Angel on the head while giving her a warm smile before looking at the dead man at my feet. “Clean this up.”

“I will handle it right away Master.” Hilde wasted no time picking up Davis’ body and tossing up over the encampment out into the city. Davis was sure to end up as a meal for some monster.

Since the idiot was now out of the way I turned to Thomas who was now standing there in a daze. “Thomas, I will ask once more. Please go gather everyone who is willing to follow me.”

“Right!” As if a fire had been lit under his butt, Thomas quickly ran off gather the soldiers together.

In no time at all I had at least five hundred soldiers gathered together. And even more slowly making their way over. Seeing this I couldn’t help but smile. Having military personnel on my side was a very good thing.

“To those of you who have served the United States until now I thank you for all your hard work over the years. You may have just joined or you may have been in service for many years. You have have gone to wars you did not wish to go to. And killed people you did not wish to kill. I respect each and every one of you…” I paused and took a deep breath. I really did respect those who joined the military, police or fire departments. They all put their lives on the line to protect what is said to be right.

“Now, I will ask you at this dawn of a new age to join my organization. The Fallen of Elysium welcomes each of you. I hope you will be willing to join me and help train those who will join later. You will be given proper supplies, and a head set to create a character in game. You too can become strong enough to fight against the monsters and those who wish to harm your new home.

“But I must warn you now. Anyone who joins but tries to turn against me only has one thing waiting for them.” I drew my sword and pointed it at the group. “And that is death.”

“I do not wish to kill anyone. I do not wish any of you harm. My goal is to survive in this new world and build up my area of influence. With how the monsters are rampage and you all have only been able to hold them back it is for sure that our world can no longer return to what it once was and to be honest I cam glad for that.

“I will be taking over a larger section of the city as of today. The barrier will be expanded and the buildings that are not destroyed will become housing for everyone who is willing to follow me.” I had originally planned to only take up a small section but now that things have come to this I really want to make a base for my new military.

“Those who do not wish to join me. I ask that you leave now. I will not stop you. But if you refuse to leave and wish to say I am trying to kill you and innocents, then I do not mind granting your wish. As some of you have seen, I have no issue killing and those around me are no weaker than me. Hell my maids can destroy a city if they so wanted to.” As soon as I said this I felt like I should quickly retract my statement when I saw Hilde’s smug expression. Luckily Mati elbowed her in the ribs.

My plan was to gain enough space for the soldiers and that was it. Any more than that would be hard to maintain. As for those who will try to enter while we move our barrier well. Hilde and Mati already know what to do.

“So I will ask now those who wish to join me, please step forward.” I watched as every soldier in front of me took a step forward. I couldn’t help but smile but also felt a little regret. So many resources were going to disappear. It was a good thing I had taken food from every place I went to.

“Now then… As for your first task, you will follow HIlde’s and Mati’s commands. They will tell you what needs to be done as we move the barrier to reclaim more land.” With that I turned, with Angel’s hand in mine and walked back through the barrier.

I was hoping everything would go smoothly but sadly I did not get very far before a gunshot rang out and Hilde sending me a message: “That dipshit’s brother was part of his men, he shot at me so I caught the bullet and gave it back to him.”

“Hah!” I couldn’t help but laugh. Just thinking about Hilde catching a bullet and throwing it back was quite funny. I bet Hilde looked cool doing it too. She was a beauty after all.

“Hehe, Master says I am beautiful. Hehehe.” Hilde began giggling away in my mind. I tuned her out since I did not want to listen to it.

“Are you leaving tomorrow?” Angel asked as she looked up to me and gripped my hand a little tighter.

“Yeah. I need to find the core. Once I find it we can be sure things will end on time. Plus I am a little afraid of the so called penalty.”
