5 Roll Out

He walked back to the slaves and looked at them "Is there any one of you hear that knows about monsters or sorcery?"

They looked at him and hesitated for a minute but finally one of them raised his hand "Umm Sir I once worked as a butcher so I know a little about some beast and their body structure. As for the Sorcery, I imagine you mean magic? Umm well, I don't know much about it but I have seen the damage that they can do to the corpse. Do you think that is enough?"

Felix clapped his hand together and smiled, even if the slaves couldn't see it through the grey Oni Mask, "Great that's actually perfect, come with me."

He began walking and the slave quickly got up and followed with an unsullied walking behind him. When they arrived Felix pointed at the two tigers "Do you know anything about these?"

The man quickly nodded "Yes they are Needle Tailed Tigers like the adventurers said before, to take them down the adventures must have been rank C adventurers. These tigers use their tail to pierce their prey, obviously, their tail and claws are also pretty effective."

When he heard about ranks Felix got interested but at the moment he had two important questions: "Have you seen a weapon like this before and also is the meat of the Needle Tailed Tigers edible?"

The slave looked at the diamond-shaped ice that was about as big as two fists put together, "Yes this is ice magic, if I remember correctly the magic is called Piercing Ice Thorns. As for your latter question, the meat can be consumed but it's going to be tough and have a really gamey taste since it's mostly muscle."

Felix nodded and looked at the Ice tip "Can many people use magic like this?"

The man shook his head since it was a small kid that seemed to be 10 years old he didn't mind answering his questions. The men that followed the kid's orders also had something to do with that. "Well I once heard that there is 1 magician for every 6 people that have some sort of magical ability then there are also the four elements.

"What are the other elements"

The man pointed up four fingers and began lowering them one by one "Fire, Earth, Light, Wind. The magician that did this seems to have an aptitude for water and wind magic."

Felix couldn't help but shiver as he looked at the tigers and imagined them being hit by the elements he had just heard. Suddenly he heard the system in his head.

{{Initiating scanning}}

The bubble appeared again and expanded into a large thin square, It hovered above the dead tigers and began lowering itself. It went through the bodies and began lifting and returned to its original size and shape.

'Sis, what was that?'

{{ New unit has been scanned and is now available to summon}}

Felix was surprised and looked at the bubble and saw the following…..

He looked at the note with his mouth opened 'I can have beasts such as this in my army? Will they actually obey me?'

{{That's right like I said before there is an endless amount of troops that I can provide you with. If you wish we could also take a look at the adventures.}

Felix Immediately nodded and began walking back to the corpses.

Background: Magician with dual aptitude, having the water aptitude allows them to excel at forming shields with water. Wind can be used to cut down opponents using compressed or sharpened wind attacks. If both elements are used together then the power of the attacks can increase exponentially.

He looked at the list carefully and then wondered something.

'Sis how much for Unsullied?'

----------

Name: Unsullied

Cost Per Person: 3 AG

Weapons: Spear, Short Sword, and Shield

Background: Eunuch slave soldiers that have been trained since the early age of 5. They have been taught to be extremely obedient and unafraid of death.

'So cheap? I could get more than a 1000 of them right now with the coins that I got earlier as a gift'

{{That is true however it is not recommended, though the Unsullied are a well-trained troop sadly they will have huge disadvantages with magic and beasts. After you use up your coins then you will have to kill 3 living beings in order to summon 1 Unsullied. It would be better if you unlock troops to have a higher chance of victory.}}

He nodded as he looked at the 8 dead men that were killed by the 2 adventures that weren't killed right away. It's not that he hadn't seen men kill many others before it's just that being taken by surprise and being so heavily overwhelmed with numbers it was hard to imagine.

He sighed and looked at the dead adventures and then remembered someone that would be helpful.

'Sis the list said that the light magician could heal with magic, can I get one?"

{{Yes would you like to continue the purchase?}}

'Will they suddenly appear out of nowhere like the mask did?'

{{Yes}}

He began walking out of the trail and into the forest, the 4 unsullied guards were following him but he told them to wait for him. They quickly stopped and stood up straight as they guarded their surroundings.

Once Felix was inside the woods he nodded, 'Alright sis'

Suddenly out of nowhere a man wearing a white robe appeared with a staff in hand. When he saw Felix he gave a short nod, "Nice to meet you, Sir."

He returned the nod "May I know your name?"

The man smiled and gave a slight bow "I'm called Ray, from now on all you have to do is ask of me what you want and I will do my best to make sure that it gets done."

Felix smiled and turned around "Thank you for your support, now there are 3 of our comrades that need you."

The man nodded and followed Felix out of the forest, as soon as the magician stepped out of the woods the unsullied raised their spears. Felix signaled them to lower their weapons and they immediately did. He looked at them and nodded proudly 'Such unwavering obedience even when a complete stranger appears, I doubt any roman soldier could do the same."

He led the healer to the wounded, the magician began chanting as he touched the injured men and a white light began shining, few minutes later the men were completely healed. What surprised him was that they quickly stood up as if nothing had happened. If he were to go through the same thing then he would immediately thank the man who saved him.

When that was done he turned around and saw that the holes were dug, in each one there was a body of an unsullied. He wished that he could give them a proper funeral but at the moment he couldn't.

He grabbed the pouch with the money from the adventures and took some bronze coins and put them on their eyes. He hoped that Charon would accept to row them through the Styx River. There weren't enough silver coins for each one so it was the best he could do at the moment. After their bodies were lowered into the holes the unsullied began to bury them. On the last hole, he placed the bodies of the 5 adventures and had the unsullied begin to cover them up.

After waiting for the unsullied to finish burying their comrades he looked at the goods that they looted and found some clothing, maps, and weapons. He had also taken the shields and spears from his fallen men so that they could have replacement weapons if they ever needed it.

He looked at the trader and held out the map "Could you be kind enough to tell me where we are?"

The skinny man quickly nodded and pointed at an area on the map. Max looked at it closely and found that there was something that seemed to be a cave nearby; it was also close to a river. "You better not be lying to me, if this is wrong then I will make you pay heavily."

The slave trader quickly waved his hand and the air and shook his head violently "Never I wouldn't dare lie to you, sir."

Felix smiled and looked at the slaves "All 8 of you go and get inside the trader's carriage."

They nodded and were guided by the unsullied, he then pointed at the bodies of the two dead tigers "get those two on that old carriage, they will be our dinner haha."

The unsullied did as they were told and then together they began marching towards the cave that Felix had seen earlier.
