Disturbed, the graves I had dug were disturbed!
They were both open. And it wasn't from the fighting or the battle that happened. They were opened by the hands or tools of men.
Even the ashes were gone as well, not even a trace.
Everything, everything about what I saw made me burn with a cold focused rage. Sure you can insult me, try to kill me, or even lie to me and there is a good chance that I'll just laugh it off as I've dealt with things like this before.
But this. This…
"I'll make sure to bury you alive and in the most appropriate manner." I said silently as I slowly started to walk to the two graves.
"I'm sorry that your peaceful rest was disturbed. That should have never happened, even if it was done by your father. Once one has been buried and finally allowed sleep. They should be left to rest." I spoke in a low voice as I started to clean the area around the two graves before putting the soil back into the holes.
During the whole time I was cleaning and making sure that the two graves were no longer a mess. The centipede had left my shoulder as she was helping as well.
Well helping would be calling it a stretch, she was just eating the corpses of the beasts, animals, and insects. Oddly enough she didn't seem to be interested in the bodies of the Red Boar Riders, which piqued my interests a little.
But that was it a little. My mind seemed to be more focused on increasing my own powers and strength. And maybe by burying the bodies of the six Red Boar Riders should help or at least do something.
"Maybe I can talk to Siegbald and see if I could buy some of the corpses of the soldiers or something. Then I need to find some technique to complement my shovel, maybe a spear or halberd one since that is the closest weapon I can think of. Because I doubt that anyone will have a freaking shovel technique."
I wiped the sweat off my forehead as I laughed and looked over to the six corpses of the Red Boar Riders as I gave them a closer look.
The heads of three of them were either. Cut off, smashed, or caved in. The armor for two of them were broken in some spots or had multiple stab wounds. While the last one was completely intact.
'Seemed as if the one who had his face caved in was the first to die. Still, their boars on the other hand seem to have been killed by one of the beasts or insects.' I said mentally as I started to search through the corpses.
It was quite a brutal sight, but it didn't even faze me as I continued to look for anything that could be of use or see if they had anything on them.
The first two bodies didn't really have anything on them. They only had about three hundred gold apiece on them. While the third one didn't seem to have anything on him… well that wasn't true.
He seemed to be from the military as he had a medal on him from the Otihame Kingdom.
The other three heads were still fine except all three of their necks looked to be slashed, hacked, or as if something tore it open.
Two of the riders' armor was the same as their throat. Hacked or like something tore it apart. And yet again the last one's armor seemed untouched. Their boars were the same as the other riders, but there was one thing that confused me.
"Where are their weapons? They don't seem to be here. Or are they missing in the mass of corpses?" I asked as I gave a quick look around to see if I could miss anything before I did the same as before and looted the bodies.
It was even worse than the other three. They had nothing. Not even a bronze coin.
I could only sigh as I shook my head. "Next comes the question? How do I take them with me? Should I make a cart or… I wonder."
Another crazy and odd idea came to my mind as I reached out to one of the Red Boar Riders and touched the body.
"..."
"..."
"Well that was-"

"Well that became a lot easier. And I've seem to notice that I haven't gotten any quests as of late. Oh well, I'll figure that out later. I have more important things to do." I said with a smile as I started to place the corpses of the Red Boar Riders into my Inventory.
Even their equipment went into its own block in the Inventory.
"Huh, this will be quite convenite in the future, but still only stacks of ten. I wonder if it will increase as I get stronger? Guess I'll find out later then." I said with a slight smile as I looked over to the centipede just as it stopped eating a corpse of what looked like an ancestor of the alligator, it was the size of a horse.
I smiled as I shook my head as I touched a spot in the air as one of the fish I caught from the Lake in Ulrich's domain appeared in the air as I caught it and tossed it over to the centipede.
"Enjoy, it should still be just as fresh as when I caught it."
I said just as the fish was in mid-air as the centipede stopped and turned to see something flying towards it as it got prepared to attack.
She didn't even wait for it to hit the ground as she struck and wrapped herself around it and started to attack the already dead fish.
It even continued to attack it as it hit the ground before it realized that the fish was already dead and started to eat it rather quickly.
"Forgot it was a centipede for a moment." I could only shrug as I started to head out of the Eastern Black Forest and head back with six trophies in tow.
I had only taken a few dozen steps before I heard a familiar noise from behind me as I felt something crawling up my leg then up my back as a familiar head appeared on my shoulder.
I just smiled as I continued to leave the Eastern Black Forest.
"Well, this will be quite the conversation starter won't it." I laughed a little as I started to imagine the looks on the faces of the citizens of the Kingdom when they noticed a centipede laying on my shoulders.
"I wonder how Ulrich will act when he meets you." I said as an amused smile formed on my face.
