The army rested for an entire day. They did not know why Rex was being soft currently. They figured it had to do with that village.
Not a Soul dared to challenge Rex or to question any of his motives.
When the army got up to advance. They were stopped by villages going to the capital. Rex told the army to standby.
They were afraid that Rex had finally lost his mind. What they could not see was a happy face on Rex. If they were to see this, they would know that he had done something major.
The army moved for three days and checked every village. The army did not rest any more. This made them feel something more off about Rex.
The capital came in sight. The Beastmen were ready to charge. Rex held them back.
"My army. You all have followed my orders without any resentment. For that, I am extremely happy. Now the capital of this small kingdom is in sight. If any dare to fight now, then we will fight. If they are trying to surrender, we will see what they offer."
The army began to advance. The king had already told the guards to open the gates when the army arrives.
Every person on the inside was naked, even the children. They used white cloth on any stick to show their sincerity. This made Rex feel guilty about waging war on them. He knew it had to be done.
Rex had his army check every household to make sure that no one was left inside any of the houses.
He brought Tetsuo with him to the palace. When the duo entered. The two elderly women were trying to protect their king.
Tetsuo wanted to kill them but Rex held him back.
"Who is the king or queen of this kingdom?" Rex asked.
The king stood up.
Rex wanted a table and two chairs brought to him. The king ordered it. Two of his wives brought the chairs, a maid and his other wife brought the table.
Tetsuo stood behind Rex. The wives stood behind their husband and king.
"Tell me, why did this puny kingdom wage war on Eden?" Rex asked.
"I was blinded by having extra land to expand by the three major kingdoms that you have destroyed." The king replied.
Tetsuo now understood why Rex was acting the way he was. There was absolutely nothing this kingdom could do now.
"Are there any Soul Mate in this kingdom?" Rex asked.
"Myself and this lady." The king had his Soul Mate sit on his lap.
"How long till the harvest is supposed to be complete?" Rex asked.
"Harvest starts next week and goes until everything is harvested." The king replied.
"When the war at Eden happened, a lot of mortal men were kept as slaves to build the wall. For the women here, they will have their wombs filled with the essence of the men belonging to Beastmen. For you and your Soul Mate, if you desire to come and make Eden better, you will offer everything to it. All wealth, clothing, and harvest this year is mine. Everything else can stay if you desire to try and rebuild. Note, every person outside of the palace will become mine after the harvest is complete."
The king felt that this was a good offer. He wanted a little time to see what his wives wanted.
"Can I still keep my other two wives if we all join the City of Eden willingly?" The king asked.
"My friend and family here will make sure that nothing goes wrong. If anyone tries to harm any one of my people, it will be declared as a war statement and the men will die. Any woman trying to flee will become unable to bear any children and be forced to enter each and every house in my city."
The king felt that this was horrible. He knew that there was nothing to be done.
"I will explain it to my people, for they will leave. I will see what my wives wish to do." The king said.
Rex bowed his head. The table was left there. The king decided to talk their with his wives.
"So shall we see if the man keeps his word?" The king's Soul Mate asked.
"That man will. He is too powerful not to care. The question is, do we stay or go as well?" The king asked.
The third wife waited for the second wife to speak. The second wife looked at the other wife and noticed the look.
"I believe it is best to go. At least we can hope to make it safer for the people." The second wife said.
"I also believe it is good to go. I also do not know if we could rebuild and get Eden to help us." The third wife said.
The Soul Mate agreed with the both of the wives. She also knew that either way it was going to be hard.
The king went to the front gate. Tetsuo was behind him. The army had surrounded the outside people.
Rex had already left for Eden.
"My people. We have lost the war. We were given a chance to live because of the kindness in not only your hearts by mine as well. We have to harvest the fields and everything you harvest is going straight to the City of Eden. Every piece of cloth, wealth, harvest, and each and everyone of us will be going to Eden when the harvest is over.
If any person tries to harm the army here, war will be declared. The women will no longer be able to have children and be forced into every house in Eden. The men will completely be tossed to the side of the road. There is no telling what will happen to the children.
I ask that you treat the Beastmen nicely and fairly. So that we can live in Eden peacefully since we have surrendered."
The people understood what was said. They began to prepare for the upcoming harvest. It took a almost three weeks for the harvest to be done.
Once it was the kingdom marched to Eden. Rex had already built some buildings for the men to stay by the walls to get them built. The buildings were easy to tear down and move.
The women were given to the families inside the city of Eden. The One Tailed Foxes got to learn about the difference between man and woman early.
This got them to evolve into Two Tailed Foxes. The Angelic Builders were happy to have extra women in their houses.
Once the humans were fully integrated into Eden, the Nine Tailed Fox came and learned how the humans got into the city.
