Chapter 11 – Visiting the Order of Knights Part 2

The two guys stared puzzled at the bodies of the murdered guards. Their gaze was focused on the open necks of their companions who only a couple of hours ago were laughing alongside them.

Only after they accepted the stage did they look at me in horror. While they were looking at me and analyzing me, I was wiping my hands, which had already returned to normal, with a white handkerchief. I was upset that his dirty, filthy blood stained my shirt.

Only when my hands were clean did I throw away the handkerchief and turn my gaze to the captain of the order, who was looking at me with panic in his eyes.

- Long time no see you, Frederick. Apparently, you haven't been doing your homework properly, so I was forced to come personally.

My face showed a smile while my eyes were closed. This sight caused the knights to recoil. Only then did I open my eyes and lower my smile. These small actions had a big impact on the environment, making the two of them stiff, so I took advantage of it and said.

- Your guards not only didn't recognize me. Rather, they pointed their swords at their lord. Do you know what that means?

Frederick was a middle-aged guy, possibly in his 40s, who wore leather armor. Due to the decay of the territory, all the high-level knights abandoned me and went to other fiefdoms. So, I was left with pure rejected trash that magically ascended.

The most prominent among the trash was Frederick, for which he was promoted to captain of the order. Until recently he was a bronze rank adventurer and could only take care of a few goblins.

Now that I've taken control of this place, the first thing I'll do is train this band of useless people and hire people from other fiefdoms as knights.

- Answer!

The two gentlemen began to tremble. From the way his teammates died, they knew they were no match for me. It was fun to see his fear in his eyes. The worst thing was that I wasn't armed, so they didn't know how I killed them.

He felt it wasn't worth checking his statuses. From Merlin's memories I already knew Frederick's ability and it was simply pathetic.

-   My... My Lo... Lord... I

- Speak well!

My aura was much stronger naturally because of my race change. This affects low-level people like Frederick who were sensitive to danger.

- Lord, yes, sir! It means they committed treason!

- Then tell me, why are you not on your knees before your lord?

My words were like lightning. Without hesitation, Frederick knelt down and forced his companion to do the same.

- Look up.

Both Frederick and that other gentleman immediately raised their heads and looked me in the eye. Not wanting to waste this moment, I hypnotized them.

- The mind control skill was successful.

- Systems targets have a 50% Mind Corruption rate.

Apparently, the mental impact was bigger than I thought. The rate of corruption was already high, but it would be better to have all the loose ends tied up and increase this.

- I'm very disappointed in you. My gentlemen who should be an example to society are sleeping in their workplaces or drunk on the street. Scope!

I pointed my finger at the two dead guys lying in a pool of their own blood on the floor.

- They're not even wearing the armor they were given. You deserve exemplary punishment for your incompetence.

Both Frederick and the knight trembled. My words attacked everything that was happening in the territory.

- Goals are under a great deal of mental stress. Corruption rate rises to 55%

I didn't even have to beat them up to increase the mental corruption. This method was slower than convincing them with blows. But I would save myself the fatigue of torturing them until they are loyal.

- Abandonment of duty is punishable by the execution not only of the perpetrators but also of their families. Do you want your family executed? I know you have a beautiful wife and a twelve-year-old girl for a daughter and that winged one of yours is your son.

- First, I will execute them just so they can see how they died because of you and how useless they are.

My words were like arrows piercing them, and with it another notification appeared in my mind.

- The corruption rate has reached 75%

With just one sentence it was up 20%, but that was less than expected. Because I threatened them with their families. Frederick's winged knight couldn't take it anymore and said.

- Forgive them, my lord! They have nothing to do with it!

- Silence! No one gave you permission to reply to me!

The soldier's body trembled more, and tears seemed to fall from his eyes. Seeing this, I couldn't help but have a smile on my face.

- Since I'm in a good mood, I think I could spare their lives. I will give your mother the task of being a public toilet for citizens to use as a semen deposit to relieve their frustrations and your sister will take care of cleaning your mother after each use. When your mother is completely broken, she will be able to take her place. HAHAHAHA

This sentence was even worse than death, was what they both thought. This decision was horrible for any woman. Her status would be even lower than a sex slave in some brothel.

These threats were not empty, as a nobleman in his territory could punish a commoner or knight as he pleased.

- Mental corruption reached 90%

Everything had been said. Hope left their faces, and despair filled their minds. Frederick looked at his son and nodded in unison. They both brought their hands to their grips and with a swift movement approached me.

His actions did not go unnoticed. My lips parted and a simple word was uttered.

- High!

The two swords were stopped in mid-air next to their bodies without even being able to move forward. The tips of their swords were inches from my body. A few more seconds and my head could fly out of my body or my heart was pierced by a sword.

- Raising their swords against their lord is a severe punishment. Since both punishments involve the death of you and your families, I don't know which one to choose.

As I hesitated, my fists and knees didn't sit still and hit these guys' arms, breaking them.

*CLANK *CLANK

They both felt the pain and instantly let go of each other's arms. My orders prevented them from moving so they remained in the same position while tears of pain streamed down their faces.

- I hate to see men crying, it's disgusting.

I looked down on these guys. I couldn't hurt them much. Because I needed them. Still, that sentence was enough to completely destroy their fragile minds.

- The corruption rate has reached 100%

- Congratulations on getting two slaves

These messages were music to my ears. It was just magnificent.
