I was ready to kill a few of them to make the others scared and follow my orders. But it seemed I didn't need to do any of that.
"Lord, please show mercy," they all knelt, one after another, while declaring me as their lord.
"Great, now we can talk," I didn't put away my glaive, kept it by my side, while leant over it, "can anyone tell me the trick behind these shields? How can I pass through them?"
"This…" One of them hesitated, and the next instant he fell to the ground, getting a hit from the shaft and blunt side of my glaive.
"I don't want to hear anything by the answers I want," I added, acting as a perfect tyrant, one who wasn't the type to negotiate or speak in a bad way towards.
"Lord, please show mercy," the one who got hit hurriedly knelt again, "I know it's something lord wants to do, however…"
"Is it this hard to gain access to your lands?" I raised an eyebrow, feeling they were hiding something,
If a beating wouldn't do it, then killing a few would.
"Lord, please show mercy, we are just nobody in our people," one of them seemed to guess my true intentions, hurriedly said as he knelt in a trembling body, "we don't know how to solve such a problem. However, we know who can."
"Who?" I paused before realising something, "was there anyone by your side, or near your place, before I grabbed the bunch of you?"
The jumpers looked at each other, and from their silence I got the answers I wanted.
The cube absorbed tons of these jerks, and I just randomly selected a few of them. They weren't part of the same group, and that was why they looked in a weird way towards each other.
"Anyone? Anyone know if any of those who knew the answer were nearby?"
"Lord, I know of a group who were stationed a few miles near me."
"Lord, I know of someone who was near me when lord grabbed me here."
.
.
"I also know!"
All of them spoke up, one by one, and all knew of people who could give me the answers I wanted.
"Perfect," I took out my cube, "I'm going to release you inside a huge piece of land. Outside it, there are tons of cells with different creatures, races, and your people inside. Don't worry, they will all be released, but I want first to get the answer to my question… So…"
I paused, and didn't continue while waving my glaive. Before anyone would say anything, I controlled my cube and took them in.
My cube after getting such enhancement got the ability to add another piece of land that wasn't filled with any cell. It was the place where I planned to gather up my troops and move them with me without the need to turn anyone into a token.
The two lands were separated from each other by some sort of a barrier that I could control. So instead of wasting my breath, taking the jumpers out and letting them check everyone and creating more trouble for them and myself, it was better to let them inside to find those I wanted.
I controlled the cube and let them take these bunch of jumpers just on the border with the cell zone. Then I watched them keenly move around.
This task was something I suspected would take a long time, at least a few days, if not weeks. There were tons of cells down there, and they were all filled with weird things for these jumpers.
However, despite my doubts, I managed to find one in less than one day. The moment he pointed towards one cell, I instantly took the two out of my cube.
"This…" the new dude looked around and at me in a weird way. He was wearing a mask, but his mask looked a bit different.
His mask was all golden in colour, and didn't show the same ugly grey colour I saw at the bunch of jumpers I took out before.
"Lord, I found one of those you are looking for," the one who found this dude said as he knelt down, making the other dude frown.
"I'm your lord," I introduced myself to the new golden mask jumper, "and I want an answer from you."
"I won't tell you anything…"
*Fwoosh!*
Without waiting for this dude to continue his words, I took out tons of jumpers, left them to float in the space around me, "I'm not someone known for patience," I slowly said, "if I don't get the answer I wanted, then expect me to roam all over your world, grab all the jumpers inside, and kill them all one by one in front of your eyes."
"This…" even the one who helped me before gave me a weird look. I knew just by speaking and threatening with words, that dude wasn't going to listen to anything I said.
The next moment I pointed my glaive towards a large group of jumpers before adding, "behold the death of your people thanks to your silence… their blood is on your hands, know this."
"Wait!" I didn't do anything yet, and that golden masked dude seemed to have his mind changed, "I know, I know how to let you in."
"Great, then speak up!"
"On one condition!"
"You aren't in a position to give me any conditions at all!" I said in a cold tone, while that dude crossed his arms in defiance.
"If you are already an enemy, then killing everyone in front of my eyes won't differ from letting you in and kill everyone," he paused, and I got what he wanted to say.
"You do know that I'm different from others, right? You already saw the enemies who kept coming at your world and people."
"I know you are different," he nodded, "but I still can't tell if you are an enemy or a friend."
"I'm a friend…"
