After Dular returned to his seat, Gaya chose Gibson. He rose up from his chair,
"Gibson, you are someone we both didn't fully utilize. Your experience in navigation and ability to keep the pirates together from killing each other is truly amazing," Gaya chuckled, lighting the mood a bit.
"If Corey is the Queen of the Seas, you will be the King of the Skies. You will command the airforce we are about to build. Until then, you're to commandeer the big bertha and hunt down the rogue pirates," Although Michael eradicated the pirates after killing Vance, there were some pirates who went rogue instead of serving under Michael. They preferred to stick to the old ways than serve someone else. Michael received reports about these rogue pirates from Corey. But he decided to let them roam around until this moment.
"Do you accept the task and serve the Dark Lord and the order with every fiber in your body?" asked Gaya. As expected, Gibson dropped to his knee and swore his loyalty to Michael and Gaya.
At this moment, only Titus, Optimus, Sadie, and Maxine remained without a task or title. It changed for Sadie when Gaya turned her gaze toward her. Sadie took a deep breath, rising from her chair.
"Sadie Kaplan," Gaya didn't show any hatred towards Sadie in her voice. Granted Sadie and Michael had a thing when they were in the river town. Gaya used to hate Sadie to the core, but everything changed after Michael put a ring around her finger.
"Compared to others on the table, you know about the true face of the guardians more. You witnessed how they stood aside, doing nothing when your fellow sisters were ravaged and sold as slaves to the southern continent. The guardians knew this and still used them as bait to catch the Dark Lord. The guardians called the Dark Lord evil, but how many girls went missing after you agreed to serve the Dark Lord? None," Gaya exclaimed.
"We will use the girls in your sect," Gaya's words stunned everyone, but her following words calmed them down.
"But not as the guardians or the others. We will never ask the girls to whore themselves for us. By agreeing to serve the Dark Lord, you made sure the girls lived with dignity as everyone should in this world. Instead, we will gather information through the girls. Knowledge is wealth, and you are sitting on an untapped treasure trove. So I name you as the Queen of whispers. Soon, you will know everything that happens in the world. Sadie Kaplan, do you accept the task and serve the Dark Lord and the order with every fiber in your body?"
Sadie took a deep breath as she knew there was no turning back now. Deep down, she saw no reason to turn back. If it weren't the Dark Lord, someone else would use them. That wouldn't change for the Silvermoon. The world would always treat them as sluts due to their cultivation method. Atleast if she served the Dark Lord, her sisters would be safe.
"I accept and serve you with the best of my ability, Dark Lord, Dark Queen," Sadie knelt down. To their surprise, the Dark Lord opened his mouth.
"I see you have reached the Core Strengthening stage. But your sect's cultivation method brings you more harm than good. Soon, I will grant you a new cultivation method. Introduce that to your sect and put a stop to getting slut shamed once and for all," Sadie's heart skipped a beat. Then, her eyes automatically watered. Since these words were spoken by the Dark Lord, she knew it wasn't a false promise. If someone could show a new way of cultivating, it was him.
Of course, Michael didn't promise Sadie completely out of the goodness in his heart. Among all his subordinates, Sadie was the most important one. He could replace Lord Information with Sadie and create a powerful web of spies throat the world. Knowledge was a powerful weapon in this world if one knows how to use it. Using the Silvermoon girls, he could mine the information from every corner of the world. The nobles tended to spit out valuable information when they were in the company of pretty girls.
Once he built the Silvermoon sect in every kingdom, they would function as a treasure trove of information. Coupled with his Spyders and drones, Silvermoon could be his most powerful asset.
"Thank you, Dark Lord," Sadie bowed. The moment Michael upgrade the system to the next level, he planned to buy a new cultivation technique for the Silvermoon girls. If the girls weren't strong enough to protect themselves, many nobles would feast on them like animals. By being strong, those girls could protect themselves rather than depend on someone else. Michael was sure the system would have something super powerful to speed up their cultivation by other means instead of leeching off someone's lust.
After Sadie returned to her seat, Gaya looked at Maxine. When Gaya met Maxine, she was a fat plumpy woman to the point Maxine could kill a commoner by rolling on them. However, after a few moments, the plumpy woman was nowhere to be seen. Instead, all they could see was a fit young woman with just enough fat to make her pretty.
"Maxine," Maxine rose from her chair. Her eyes were filled with devotion towards the Dark Lord and the order.
"There is no need for me to explain how important you are to the order and how loyal you are to us. I have no doubt whatever task we give you, you will serve us with pride and joy," Gaya patted Maxine on the shoulder as Maxine shed tears of happiness.
"I am not worthy of such praise, Dark Queen,"
"You are, Maxine. That's why I am naming you the Queen of power. What you are doing in stormville mountain is of grave importance. The reason why I named you the Queen of power is your task can and will make everyone stronger and more powerful, including the people in the hall. Soon, you will receive the necessary tools to create more devices that would enable everyone to cultivate, even inside the void line," They all shuddered. Up to this moment, only Maxine, Tiberius, and Corey received the device that uses Arch energy crystals to perform simple tasks such as accessing space rings or conjuring a small orb of fire.
However, Michael planned to build better devices to enable his subordinates to cultivate with the help of Elidyr. Now that he had made a deal with Hydra, he didn't worry about waking it up. He could even send special mining devices to mine stormville mountain deeper. Once he built these devices, his subordinates could cultivate whether they were in or outside the void line.
"Do you accept the task and serve the Dark Lord and the order with every fiber in your body?"
Maxine immediately dropped to one knee.
"Until I draw my last breath, Dark Queen,"
Michael nodded. Among everyone, she was the most loyal subordinate. To be honest, Michael felt lucky to have a hardworking, loyal subordinate such as Maxine. Just her physical transformation was enough for Michael to keep Maxine in high regard than the others, He had no doubt Maxine would serve him to the best of her abilities.
Finally, Gaya and Michael turned their gazes to Titus and Optimus. The twins rose from their chairs, looking a bit nervous. Compared to the rest, they had the least experience serving the Dark Lord.
Except for Tiberius and Aria, they didn't know the others. This was the first time they had seen all the subordinates under one roof. They had only heard about the others from Aria before this moment.
"Titus, Optimus," Gaya uttered their names slowly.
"Despite your knack for battle and wars, I have a feeling you don't want to fight anymore. Am I right?" She spoke exactly what they were thinking as though she had read their minds. After fighting like animals for entertainment, almost dying, and leaving their little sister alone, Titus and Optimus lost their fire to fight. This was their second chance, and they wanted to live doing something else other than fighting for someone. They fought enough for one lifetime.
Since the Dark Queen obviously knew what was in their mind, they chose to nod their heads.
"Yes, Dark Queen," said Titus and Optimus in unison.
"You had fought enough for one lifetime," Once again, she spoke exactly what they were thinking in their minds. It creeped and terrified them at the same time.
"There are many other ways to help the order without shedding blood. And I will give something just as important as killing our foes. To be honest, that was the reason why we placed you in the Bradford army. We wanted you to get acquainted with people other than southerners. If Sadie is tasked with gathering information, you two will procure resources, materials, and weapons. Thus, I name you as the Kings of supplies. I know its completely different and out of your expertise, but with enough training, we are sure you will satisfy and exceed our expectations,"
Tiberius was completely taken aback by surprise. The twins were better fighters than even him. Yet, the Dark Queen had chosen to assign them to acquire materials. It seemed like a waste of talent to him. But knowing the Dark Lord, it was hard to believe he had made a mistake. To Tiberius's shock, the twins and Aria looked relieved and even delighted.
"So tell me Titus and Optimus, do you accept the task and serve the Dark Lord and the order with every fiber in your body?"
"We accept wholeheartedly, Dark Queen," The twins dropped to one knee, placing their hands on the chest. contemporary romance
