All the prisoners by now were out their cages. There were many strong ones, but also few weak ones.
Alice murmured to himself, "Now all I have to do is draft a plan to get safely away from this place with this knight woman. "
She asked Alice, "What are you murmuring? "
Alice looked at her and said, "No, nothing, don't worry about it. "
The teenager who first rejected Alice's proposal said to him, "You did let us out. But what if we betray you now and kill you? "
Alice replied, "Well, that is also a possibility and in that one, you won't have to follow any of my condition. But, I don't think so any one of you can even scratch me. "
The kid smirked and said, "Bastard, you are too cocky. "
And with that, he dashed at Alice without any weapon, jumped and was ready to pull out his right eye with his right hand fingers, but before the hand could reach his eyes, an armored hand grabbed his right hand and threw him towards a cage left to Alice.
The one who grabbed his hand was the knight woman.
She said, "Don't even think of it, kid. You are too weak for that. "
That muscular big man laughed.
The rest of the prisoners were doing warm up. Some were jumping, some were stretching themself but many of them were very weak. They didn't get much nutrition and now were really weak.
Some were unable to walk. Some were unable to even think of fighting a whole village.
Alice looked at them and found himself outnumbered against the villagers.
He said, "I can see that many of you are unable to even walk. Most of you are useless for me and in the end, you all will just become burden for me. "
One of them said to Alice, "So what? You gonna abandon us? "
He was nothing more than a senile old man who was near his death and just wanted to live his last moment as he wanted.
Alice replied, "I won't, because I will give you two choices and they are, either slice your neck right now or become a meat shield for me in the battle. Choose now. "
Most of them looked at Alice confused. They said, "Have gone mad kid? Why do you think we will listen to you. "
Alice replied, "Very well, how many of you are able to fight and going to become my aid? "
Around 7 people rose their hands from around 30 people.
All of them looked pretty strong, among them was that teenager and that muscular big man.
There was also a woman who was in black top and a pant made up of brown bear's fur. She was older than Alice, may be in her mid 30's. Her cleavage could be seen easily, they were huge. Her hips were big too, in every sense, she had a perfect body. A beautiful face, black eyes and long black hairs but they were styled neatly in something between ponytail and bangs on her forehead.
Her skin was kind of dark tone.
There was also an old man, he was bald, his eyes were barely opened, clean face with lots of wrinkles, short height, kinda leaned towards ground and both his hands behind his back.
A man with lots of scars on his face, long brown hairs, in his 40's, commoner clothes, athletic build, brown eyes, fair skin and his looks being average and he was also the tallest among those 7 people.
Another woman who didn't has her right eye, there was a deep scar in place of that. She was really cute, red short hairs. She was wearing a leather armor with some white furs on them to give her warmth. She was the shortest in that group. Her eyes were red too and they were really sharp, her skin being light tone with blush on her cheeks.
While other 3 were men, their looks were average, one had black hair, one had white hair and one had grey hair.
The white hair one had the middle hair style, divided in 50:50 both sides. His hairs were long and suited him really much. He was the most handsome among them, but not as much as Alice.
He had white eyes and he was in his late 20's.He was tall, taller than Alice. He was athletic build too and he was wearing clothes of commener too.
The other looked average, their eyes matching the color of their hairs and their clothes being that of commoners—they weren't athletic build.
Alice replied to rest of the prisoners, "In case you defy the order I give you useless pests, these 7 people and my knight will annihilate you all right now. So, now what's your answer? "
They all didn't say a word for few seconds, they just thought of how to save themself because they knew that their weak body was not going to save them and also, Alice had weapons he gain after killing those guards.
Alice asked again, "I need answer, right now. "
Finally they said, "Alright, we will be your meat shield. "
But still, few of them again defy Alice and said, "We aren't afraid of you and your team. We are enough to kill you kid, and your team. "
Alice sighed and said, "There's literally no cure for stupidness. "
And then he threw the two daggers towards the kid and the dark tonned woman, giving one to each and said, "Annihilate these pests. "
The dark tonned woman and the kid moved swiftly, one by one slicing their neck.
The other five asked to Alice, "Can we also? "
Alice smiled and said, "Sure, go ahead. "
The knight woman questioned, "Is this really necessary? "
Alice replied, "You see, this world demands sacrifice. Sometimes you sacrifice yourself—your dreams, your hopes, your ideals. But sometime, for your own sake, for the sake of your people, you sacrifice others, their dreams, their ideals, their life, you end them all. "
She remained silent and just in few minutes, all those who defied Alice were dead.
Alice said, "Now then all these pests are dead, let's make a plan quickly. "
