Chapter 17: "Volunteer" Workforce

In the Stronghold Beyond the Wall, several troops can be seen moving to leave, Domeric received word from some scouts that a Wild Tribe was near the Stronghold.

Domeric ordered the Tribe to be subjugated, he knows the soldiers might be being watched along the way because of the Shamans, so he had any animal that got in the way killed.

Some soldiers were talking to each other.

"Do you think you will have anything of Valor?" asked a soldier as he looked at his friend next to him.

"Of course not, do you think Wildlings would have anything of value?" asked another soldier with a look of disdain.

As they continued marching, the Uruks mounted on Caragors saw their mounts stop and start to growl.

"AMBUSH" An Uruk shouted before an arrow went straight to his chest, but as the arrow had a wooden tip, he wasn't hurt thanks to his armor.

But the same cannot be said for his Caragor, who received an arrow in the eye, causing him to fall to the side and die.

House Bolton troops quickly took up their positions and saw several wildlings rushing at them and screaming.

"DON'T RETREAT" shouted a Commissar as he unsheathed his sword and prepared for battle.

The wildlings tried to break through the shield walls but were met with spears and swords and without their bodies as the Non-Human Warriors advanced.

One wildling was ripped to shreds by a Caragor, while another was ripped in half by a Troll, the scene on the battlefield was simply a Massacre.

House Bolton's Troops were not only superior in numbers compared to the small Horde of Wildlings, but they also had superior equipment and discipline.

After the Massacre, the soldiers of House Bolton began to gather the bodies of the enemies, some would be turned into flesh for the Uruks, while the rest would be burned, as ordered by Domeric.

"Commissioner, what do we do now?" one of the officers asked as he looked at the burning bodies and the rising smoke.

"Send all Caragor Riders ahead, any wildlings you find must be captured, kill only if it's the only option" Said the Commissioner as he looked at the soldiers who were throwing bodies after bodies into the fire.

The officer had questions as to why this was, but kept it to himself and just followed the orders given to him.

Even if he asked, he would have his head cut off, as he would be questioning orders that were Domeric's.

Domeric wanted these captured wildlings to be used in the Mines and Labor Camps that would be opened in the future Beyond the Wall.

Since the Lands Beyond the Wall have not been touched, they may have plenty of natural resources waiting to be taken.

It also has a chance of having nothing, but even so, wildlings would have some use in manual labor.

But in time, the Mines and Fields will be full, for this, Domeric created "Selection" plans, where he would select part of the Captives to be killed, this would serve not only as a way to deal with the population but also to ensure that fear stay in their hearts, preventing thoughts of rebellion.

Returning to House Bolton's Troops, the Caragor Riders were on a hunt for any wildlings they saw.

Some found the village belonging to the Wild Horde that attacked them, so one was sent to warn the Commissioner, while the rest began an attack.

The soldiers and warriors of House Bolton, who were notified of the news, advanced quickly to help stop any Wildlings from escaping.

What followed were screams from women, children, and the men who were left to defend the village, the huts were later on fire after soldiers searched each hut to see if it had anything of value (which it didn't).

A male Savage was held onto a makeshift cross by the Commissioners, his belly was open and his eyes were bleeding.

A woman was crying as she saw her husband on the cross, she tried unsuccessfully to get close to the Commissioners and try to kill them, but she was already tied up with the others of the Tribe.

"My Lady, what do we do now?" asked a Half-Troll as he bowed his head in respect of the Female Commissioner.

"Let's take this Wild scum to the Stronghold" replied the Commissioner as she had a cold look on her face, a hint of disgust was in her eyes as she looked at the Wildlings.

Soon the march back to the Stronghold began, with the First "Volunteer" Workforce Beyond the Wall.

But Domeric wouldn't stay with them working on Bolton House forever...maybe one day they'd be laid off.

Time Skip/ In the Great Hall of the Stronghold.

Domeric was reading the report made by the Commissioners responsible for the attack on the Wild Tribe, he soon stopped reading and looked at the Female Commissioner who delivered the report.

"Send the wildlings to the place that builders have built, give them just enough food and firewood to keep warm" Ordenoh Domeric as he looked into the eyes of the Female Commissioner.

She nodded and asked a very important question.

"Man, what are soldiers supposed to do with wildlings?"

"Soldiers are free to have fun with the Wildlings, but they must remember that Wildlings are necessary for Manual Work in the Stronghold" Domeric replied as he took a glass of wine and downed it all at once.

The Commissioner nodded, she didn't care what happened to the Wildlings, to her, Domeric Bolton's Orders are absolute.

She thought they were very "Kind" to them, if it were up to her, the village where the Tribe was located would already be red with blood, making a small genocide on the spot.

"Tell me, Madam, what is your name?" Domeric asked as he continued to drink wine until he offered a glass to the Commissioner.

"M-my name is Carolei, Lord Bolton" replied the Commissioner, now recognized as Carolei, as she lowered her head.

"Hmm, I see....Commissioner Carolei, I'm going to give you an important mission: Gather some troops and start a hunt for any Wildlings you see, bring the 'Worthy' into the Labor Forces for the rest. ....you decide their fates." Said Domeric as he seriously spoke the last part.

Carolei nodded and bowed to Domeric before leaving the Great Hall, she received an order and will successfully comply.

She soon gathered some troops and started to leave the Keep with a burning desire, she would use this as a way to show her loyalty to Domeric.
