“Nana,” Jirot called, holding up her cup towards the woman. “Mik peas.” She tapped her as a sign of gratitude.

  “Okay,” Mirot replied, taking the cup from the girl. She waited a moment to see if Jirot would start a fight, befoing off to fill her cup with milk. Sometimes the girl would be breastfed, but it was about the time they had to wean her and her brother off.

  Jirot drank up the milk, sighing with joy, before handing the cup to her brother, letting him drink the rest of it.

  “What do you say?”

  “Thank you, nana.”

  “Do you love me?”

  The girl smirked.

  Mirot raised her brow.

  “I love you so muana.” The girl giggled, reag out to hug her grandmother’s leg.

  “Good.” She brushed Jirot’s hair, while little Jarot also thanked her and hugged her.

  “I love you so muana,” the boy said. “Nana always so nice.”

  “Yes,” Jirot agreed.

  “Do not fet.” Mirot hoisted them both up within her arms, holding them close. “I will always love you, my grandchildren.” Between Mirot and the children, there was o call them anything but her own grandchildren.

  Toepped withiate, his eyes gng around, before noting the ck of the triplets. ‘Are they with their greatfather?’

  “Hello,” Danagek said, waving at Gurot. Gurot turo look at him, before waving a hand back. Danagek sat nearby his ky cousin, pying with some of the blocks to the side.

  “ky boy!” Lanarot called, rushing up to Danagek, before hugging him tight. “Danagek, you are okay?”

  “Okay,” the boy replied, letting his cousin hug him tight.

  “Oof. So big. So big.” Lanarot brushed his hair, smiling down at him, befrabbing his hand and leading him away to py with her.

  “Hello, baba,” Jirot called, staring up at Tonagek. “You have e pay dwagon chess?”

  “Yes.”

  “I do not pay dwagon chess, I pay Demon Woad chess.”

  “There is no Demon Lord chess.”

  “Huh? What you are saying, baba? I pay it!”

  “You do?”

  “Yes.”

  “Will you teach me?”

  “Okay,” Jirot said, joining him to py, while Jarot joihem, watg from the side.

  As Jirot set up the board, Tonagek noticed Demon Lord chess was very simir ton chess. As Jirot began to expin, Tonagek quickly realised Demon Lord chess was exactly the same as dragon chess, except Jirot, the Demon Lot to take her turn first.

  “I am the Demon Woad so I go fust,” the girl informed, before takiurn.

  ‘Did she learn the game by watg us casually?’ Tohought, surprised to see how well she pyed. ‘She is almost as good as Konarot.’

  While Tonagek pyed across the battlefield of the board, his nephews and niece were currently on their own battlefield.

  ‘What are they doing?’ Willow thought, extending out a hand to and her Rays to assist, the wagons of children behind them.

  The children stared out from the back, looking out to the appearance of the hydras which had emerged from behind, eaing the eastern side of the forest. The quiet whimper, the wide eyes, their fear flooded the area, oig the hydras forward.

  Nirot’s body was full of he as she stepped forward towards one of the hydras. Her axe in hand, her shield raised, ready to face the hydra in front of her. The four heads sowards her, though two gnced away, towards the ure who stood tall, also wielding an axe in hand. As two sheir maws towards Nirot, awo sheir maws towards the rge figure beside her, ahey found ahrough the side of their nestead.

  ‘Carefully,’ Nirot thought, dodging the heads as the axe beside her cut through the side of a hydra’s neck.

  Bavin was near silent as he hacked away as the hydras, tearing scales from each. Though it was a good idea to take out as many creatures as possible to reduany foes one was fag, when it came to hydras, that logic was very different. Instead, the pair had to be careful when fag against the creature, especially sihey were the only two fag the hydra with four heads. If Bavin cut one head, awo would grow to take its pce, and then they’d be in serious trouble. So the best way to kill a hydra in such a position was to slowly chip away at it, before finishing it by cutting off each head quickly.

  ‘I am Bavin,’ the young Iyrman thought.

  Naqokan and Uwajin darted forward, their greatbdes in hand, the pair almost dang aside their own hydra. They were also merely two against the creature which was nightmarish for even the army to face against. They followed the same tactic as Nirot and Bavin, with one dodging and weaving through the necks while the other struck, ging their roles every so often. Cutting off a hydra’s head was extremely dangerous for them too, especially if they didn’t have the ability to wield fire.

  ‘Carefully,’ Naqokan thought, her body full of excitement. If the pair mao sy the creature without the support of the others, then they’d be able to cim their own victory too. ‘Even if I am no Ray, I am still a Kan!’

  Uwajin’s thoughts were very simply. ‘ow. Do not ow.’

  “Finally!” Lucy shouted, Mara assisting beside her, the pair also filled with their own battle lust, their axes tearing through the hydra. Though they had paired together to face against the hydra, they cared little for the tactics of the Iyrmeroyer and Great Destroyer flickered with fmes as they tore through the heads of the hydra the pair faced, whiarled and howled in pain and aheir own maws snapping against the pair.

  While the three sets e Dancers held off their hydras, with o ready and eager to kill a hydra, the other hydras found a more difficult time ahead of themselves.

  Jurot’s body, red with rage, tore into the side of a hydra, a head cttering against his shield, though it cmped down against it, before pulling it up, along with Jurot into the air. As Jurot clutched at his shield tight, for he was a member of the Rot family, how could he lose his shield?

  Jonn focused on the hydra head ahead of him, his eyes glued to the creature as it darted out towards him. There were many bodies all around him, each moving to tear into the hydra. He inhaled deeply, narrowing his eyes, g the hydra as a creature whieeded to be put down, and with vengean his mind, he stepped forward, his bde fshing white hot as he cut a head through. A glow fell across from his side as the head dropped onto the earth beside him, red spttering all across his armour.

  Jaygak inhaled quietly, her bde swinging through the air without a thought in her mind, cutting through a hydra head, cutting through it , while fmed spread all across the hydra’s side, Laygak’s holding out a hand, fmes washing over the monstrosity while he hid behind his shield.

  Though the hydra tried to snap at the pair who seemed to wear the least amount of metal, the heads found themselves snapping only at air, while a staff cttered across a skull, crushing it to bit, while aaff struck against its throat, before a pair of fists struck each set of ribs simultaneously. The pair of Ools were still holding back, sihe battle would take quite some time.

  While the Iyrmen were having their own fun, and in the midst of the various roars, howling ughter and cackle filled the air.

  “We’re going to be eating good tonight!” Vasera roared, inhaling deeply, before letting out a breath of fire against the hydra, while the rest of her panions, each at least Experts, swung their bdes with divine fury towards the creature, cutting off several of its heads in one go. It tried to turn and flee, but the smell of gold caused the Golden Savages to drool.

  “Rays!” Willow called, before before motioning a hand, dispersing the Rays between each of the groups to assist. Meanwhile, another hydra snuck its away around, towards the wagon. “It seems there is another for us to fend off. Will you assist me, Brother Adam?”

  “If you want to fend it off, then it won’t be a good idea for me to join in,” Adam said, still standing there, sighing out as he thought about his adorable children. ‘I ’t go around killing too much around these losers, so I hope you five me.’

  “Even I am not fident to face it alone,” Willow admitted, though she reparing to do so anyway.

  Adam raised his hand casually. “I ’t have you go by yourself, Fourth Hope, what will they say about our business? Why don’t you take the farmers with you? Rick, will you assist the Fourth Hope with her hydra?”

  “Right,” Rick said, feeling a deep chill fill his heart, though with how casual Adam was being about it, he stepped out, donning a shield, while the other farmers also stepped out, two of them grabbing their pikes, while the other two kheir arrows.

  ‘Farmers? He’s sending farmers to assist me?’ Willow’s eyes gnced around. She had heard about them being farmers, though they were rather heavily armed for farmers. ‘…’

  ‘Hey, Bell, make sure you share the XP with-,’

  From the opposite tree lihe bushes exploded, as ane figure charged towards one of the carriages. Adam’s entire body turned in shock as another hydra stepped forward, ready to cim a wagon as its own.
