While the first group was busy clearing their future main base, Liam did not remain idle and quickly summoned the next group. This batch consisted mostly of the barbarians and also…
"Whaaat… what the hell is happening… how am I…" A stout middle-aged soul minion appeared along with a dozen other fit human soul minions.
Since this was the first time they had been summoned, it took them a couple of seconds to get to grips with their new reality. Their faces turned horrified as they saw what they had turned into.
And when they looked at the man responsible for all this misery and pain, he still had the same indifferent look, the one that he had when they were being killed by that big monstrosity.
What happened to that beast? Was it still rampaging around in the city like Godzilla? They looked at the city below from the tall terrace, and it seemed to be just as calm as ever.
Perhaps there weren't as many people on the streets as how it was before, but still, it was peaceful and without any disturbance whatsoever.
In the end, only they died a miserable death. If they hadn't acted hastily back then and befriended this person, would everything have been different? They looked at the terrifying person in front of them with fear and regret.
"Welcome to the team." Liam simply said. "Take this group with you and round up all the firearms and other heavy machinery in the city and in the surrounding areas. Bring everything to the building over there."
Liam pointed to another tall building at a distance. He did not want to put these weapons in the same spot where the residence was.
Also, these weapons were going to become pretty much useless soon enough, but until then, they could still be deadly to the others and pose a threat to the life of guild members and their families.
It was still just the beginning, so everyone hadn't yet recognized the true threat looming over this world.
So instead, they would focus on other petty things like fighting with other humans for more land and territory or control of more dungeons which was the new resource.
This was nothing but a time waste. Liam did not want to get himself involved in this pettiness. However, there were people dependent on him, so he decided to take some precautions.
"Not just the government reserves but check every house and every building and seize whatever firearm they possess. If someone resists, knock them out or, if needed, kill them. Go"
The second group of soul minions quickly scattered away as they finished receiving their orders.
"Residence is taken care of, and weapons are taken care of. Now it's time to start the third order of business."
Liam and Luna took off from the terrace, and this time they appeared next to a huge factory warehouse on the outskirts of the city. This was a warehouse for storing grocery store supplies, so selecting this had many advantages.
Liam casually walked in, looking around to see if there was anyone to stop him. But the place was completely deserted. "I guess this makes things easier."
It only took him a second to break the various locks, and he easily entered the main space. "Nice. This will do. This will be our third base."
Standing at the centre, he once again summoned another wave of soul minions.
These again consisted of random beasts who Liam promptly ordered to clear the space and move the products safely to the vehicles standing outside.
But this was not his main agenda. Once his minions got busy and hurriedly focussed on the task, he started taking out all the beast corpses from the spatial artifact.
These were the beasts that had charged out of the massive portals from the first beast wave. They were nothing special and did not even have any mana cores, but they were also not completely useless.
Once Liam emptied out all the corpses from the spatial artifact, he summoned the last but massive batch of soul minions, which included all sorts of creatures.
"Start processing all of these beast corpses. I want the beasts skinned, deboned, and every part of their body separately cut and processed. Also, make sure to organize them properly. Once that is done. Keep the meat separately."
The soul minions nodded and immediately got to work. Depending on the type of creature, some of them were fast, and some of them were slow, but all the minions obediently followed Liam's instructions to the last letter.
They robotically processed each and every single corpse from the pile in a neat and orderly fashion.
"Bastard! What a cruel, heartless bastard!" Gorak whined in silence.
"This motherfucker is making me work in a sweatshop, damn it!" Gu Donghai cried.
The other Gu family members also had unsightly expressions. Nevertheless, they continued doing their duties diligently.
Liam took a look at his sincere minions, laughed lightly, and then left the area. "Let's go, Luna. Time to take a break." The duo did not linger around and quickly returned back to the two newly vacated hotels.
The fox arrived directly at the presidential suite of the first hotel. This was the best room in the whole place, and Liam helped himself to it.
The room was big and comfortable, with a lot of fancy amenities, and the bed itself was soft and covered by silky sheets.
Liam removed all of his dirty clothes and flopped onto the bed in exhaustion. Luna quickly jumped onto the same bed and silently lay curled up right next to him.
Of course, before going to sleep, Liam also summoned the last batch of soul minions, the more powerful ones.
He put some of them to guard the area, like the six-winged lion and the white-striped tiger and then sent the remaining to fly around the land and see if there was anything suspicious or valuable.
Dimitri was a trained alchemist, and the wyverns were draconian creatures with a taste for treasure.
So even though it might not result in anything, Liam still sent the beasts out to find the needle in the haystack. That done, he turned in for the night.
