Arlo and his brigands raided a few villages while Jira led them to her lord.
He raised a few of the town guards who had enough potential ,however, the brigands and the guards did not ever get along. They would start to poke each other or steal others bones.
They raided and raided for two weeks, the forest was long gone and wasn't visible. The small army had considerable power against common villagers. Jira wasn't complaining at all; she seemed to have quite the energy when returning to her lord.
She told Arlo that the demon lord was smarter than he would expect and the tricks he used on her wouldn't even scratch it.
İt was mentioned that it was collecting forces from demon towns in another continent before coming here just like Arlo.
The only difference was it was rather amazing in Jiras eyes. She would smile every time it was talked about.
After another week the group arrived at a ship graveyard. From small sloops to large galleons were crashed here. The smell of seaweed and old wood seemed to make Jira reluctant and distant against them.
'She is starting to plan about escaping?' Arlo wondered.
She led them to a royal galleon's wreck.
A large crack had been reinforced with scraps and a door was visible. She yelled her name and the door opened, revealing a large group of demons.
A deep voice was heard. "Lead them in…" The voice was deep enough to cut a boulder in half.
Arlo and his soldiers headed in while the giant and Bral remained outside with the horses.
They walked alongside large armored groups of demons to reveal a large figure sitting on a makeshift throne.
The throne was made out of a ship anchor and suited the figure greatly.
A demon not larger than the giants they clashed was sitting. Arlo wondered how it fitted from that small door.
"İs that the skeleton you talked about Jira?" The figure revealed to be a he.
"Yes father…" Arlo was not shocked, due to Jira's reactions to the demon lord he could only be a lover or a relative.
The demon observed Arlo and his soldiers. "İmpressive" he mumbled.
Arlo talked in a clear and husky voice "İ've come to negotiate…"
"Negotiate? HAH Boney, Negotiate!?" Jira's reaction satisfied Arlo enough to keep him talking.
"Negotiating to be allies…"
