The appearance of such a brutal monster here, out of nothing, had a deep impact on the mercenaries hired by the black raven clan. They were mages, yes, and that made them more comprehensible of the significance of what Arthur just did.
No one heard of such a thing before, and before they could even swallow this shock, more rhinoceros appeared, one after another, until over fifty of them stood in the front, blocking the sight, and even the rays of the setting sun.
"Hear me out, I know you came here fulfilling a quest, in exchange for money and wealth, but nothing in this world is equal to losing your lives. Lay down your arms, surrender to me, pledge your loyalty to me, and I won't harm you. Defy me, and I won't show any mercy. You have ten seconds to decide," Arthur suddenly shouted, in a very loud, proud, and angry tone that he tried to make it as quite realistic as possible.
His voice echoed, breaking this heavy silence in the place, making everyone realize this simple, yet unbelievable fact… their master, their good for nothing young master, had such immense power and powerful allies beside him!
The golden lion clan, which everyone seemed to be finished, had been revived again, from the ashes, like a mighty phoenix!
Arthur had given them ten seconds to consider, but the fifth second didn't pass before they made up their mind, they all, without any exception, had knelt on the ground, swearing, in a well heard, loud voice their loyalty and surrender.
All, except for his uncle and those few mages who were part of the white rabbit clan. They all looked in horror, unable to believe their eyes, how could such a good for nothing son of the deceased clan head to be so strong.
Arthur didn't need to wait anymore, as it was obvious whoever surrendered to him were those coming from the bounty hunter guild, while those still standing around his uncle were mages from the white rabbit clan.
All had to be killed then, with no hesitation or mercy.
"kill them all," he simply gave the order and the moment he did that, all the pets moved, per orders from their masters, to attack and kill those standing in front of them.
The mages who just surrendered watched on the side the mercilessness and brutality of these monsters. Two horned monsters were considered a huge existence to them already, and there wasn't only one, but over fifty of them.
Arthur watched, in calmness, the small fight that wasn't even considered as one. All the traitors were killed, simply like that.
He then turned to face the whole villagers, those who kept following him along the way to here, all those who decided to trust him, keep their loyalty in him, and this was the moment to repay this gratitude, and show them, no matter how brutal he was to the external world, to them he would always be kind and merciful.
"Unjust had befallen my clan house, and all of you had seen me taking justice for my father. This isn't just for me alone, this is all for your sake, for your children, grandchildren, and their grandchildren after them. This day won't be forgotten by me, and my word to you would never be reneged upon by me or from anyone who would come after me.
From this moment on, all the children, all the youths, all the strong men in the clan will get the chance to be one of my mighty group, to obtain his own beast, to be on a level no one had ever attained before.
From this day on, our Golden Lion clan won't be a mere ordinary clan, it will be one of the strongest clan, and you all can walk anywhere, with raised heads and be proud you are part of my clan."
His words were strong, vibrant, clearly heard, and the feelings and determination in them were felt by all those who were present here. In one moment the whole place trembled under the ground cheering which came from the villagers, as in this day they were all baptized by Arthur, born courageous and ambitious like never before.
Arthur watched them in content eyes, as his plan had been already set in motion. The group of mages, his friends, all glanced at him, and in the minds of all of them a suspicion. This was no way to be a birth of this moment, they all felt that this was already planned inside the mind of their leader.
As they knew him, they knew once he planned something, he wouldn't rest until he saw it fulfilled.
"Madly, you will take some mages with you, spread the news over the whole villages, any one below the age of thirty is welcomed here to be tested by me from now on," Arthur started to relay his orders, not wasting any moment, as he knew how hard the mission that awaited him was.
Madly nodded, and before she even moved, Arthur continued:
"Omar, I want you to send the news of what happened here back to the leaders of the guild."
Omar looked at him in a strange way, as he said:
"But they didn't reply back on us."
"They were waiting to see the result of this fight, so they would know to whom they should lay their bets," Arthur said, as he read what those leaders were thinking of. He didn't have a grudge against that, as anyone was free to choose what side to stand on, but he didn't tolerate betrayal, so he added:
"Tell them this would be their last chance to reply, and if I didn't get a satisfying answer by dawn, I will consider them my enemies."
Omar understood and nodded, without saying a word.
"Randy, your mission is to test these new mages, keep them locked in one of the houses here, and leave some monsters to guard them, then come to my main hall after that."
"I will come once I locked them up," Randy bowed his head slightly, feeling the honor in being giving such a task here, as being recognized by Arthur, who looked towards Ron and said:
"I recall there were maps, old maps, in my father's office, do you know these?"
