Neferis swallowed her saliva and replied decisively, "From now on, I am willing to follow you with my tribe... Please don't hurt them..."
It can be seen that the reason she said this was because she was completely subservient to the tyranny of Lalith.
If Lelith isn't around, Neferis will definitely take second place.
Reiner stamped a seal on her arm and patted her shoulder. "Then we'll be companions from now on. This life of starvation is over."
Neferis nodded reluctantly, and it was obvious that she didn't believe what Reiner said.
Lelith said coldly from the side, "Don't look so gloomy and think you're done. Just be happy that you've been chosen by my master. Serving him is a hundred times better than living in the open air. You won't be able to thank me enough when the time comes."
Reiner patted her shoulder and said, "Stop talking. Lead the way. I want to see where they live."
Led by Lalith, Reiner walked into the woods.
Until they reached the center of the woods, Reiner only saw a few campfires, but no tents or other places for people to rest.
Reiner asked in confusion, "Where do they live?"
Lalith looked up at the tall, straight trees and replied softly, "As expected, they probably live in the trees like monkeys."
After that, she turned to Neferis and asked, "Am I right?"
"Well... we usually live in trees. This way we are less likely to be discovered by humans and can also protect ourselves from attacks by some monsters." Neferis answered cautiously.
The few of them continued walking forward, passing through a slightly dense forest.
Reiner saw Martina, who was waving vigorously.
The captured demons stood in rows, with no emotion on their faces. It was obvious that they were all controlled by Lalith.
Reiner roughly counted and found that there were about eighty demons, and as Neferis said, most of them were old, weak and sick.
The elderly and disabled people accounted for a small proportion, most of them were children and injured soldiers, or women who were not very good at fighting.
Neferis lowered her head and asked, "I have pledged my allegiance to you...them."
Reiner winked at Lalith.
This group of controlled demons returned to normal.
Their first reaction was to hide beside Neferis, huddled together like little animals, and stared at Lelith behind Reiner in horror.
It can be seen that Neferis is usually quite trusted by them.
After all, if someone is willing to sacrifice his life to cover the tribe's future, then no matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad.
Reiner continued to ask, "Where is your food?"
Verissa dragged over a bag and showed it to Reiner. It was filled with all kinds of looted food, including game and poultry, but the most common items were cheap black bread and green peas.
I guess this food is only enough for them to have one meal at most.
Neferis whispered, "This is our food for today and tomorrow..."
It takes two days to eat a single mouthful of food. No wonder he's so hungry.
"Let them pack up and follow me." Reiner said to Neferis.
Looking at the demons packing up their things and going their separate ways, Reiner's heart was filled with joy.
I didn't expect to have such a big harvest.
However, as the team grows, more problems will surely follow.
The return time should be postponed.
But since Fiona has Lelith's body, it shouldn't be a big problem.
