An Overlord's Next Move

Back with Alister and his dragons, Draven put down the last of the monsters with a swing of his great sword, the blade cleaved through the monsters easily. The ground shook slightly as the monster fell, signaling the end of the battle.

Alister, standing atop Terra's head, took a look around. "Terra, is that all the monsters here?" he asked, his voice echoing through the valley.

Terra's deep blue eyes brightened as she looked around as well, her eyes could see through the shadows, distant corners, and far-off distances. After a short pause, she nodded. "That is all, my lord. There are no monsters close by."

"Well done, all of you," Alister said, his voice carrying a note of satisfaction. "Now, Terra, secure all the edges of the valley with a fairly sizable wall."

Terra acknowledged with a small nod. "Understood." She stomped her front left leg slightly, causing a ripple of mana to spread from her feet.
