THE WARLORD'S SURVIVAL HAREM SYSTEM

Chapter 4:New Commander

As the three women scrambled behind the boulder, Ric lunged toward the top of one of the Pine trees as his eyes scanned towards the wolves with a silent sound. His breathing became slow as his memory began to process the past life knowledge as he smiled and jumped towards the alpha with his dagger.

The alpha wolf burst through the thorns, its jaws snapping inches from Ric’s face. The stench of rotting meat and wet fur hit his nostrils.

Using every ounce of strength in his new fragile body, Ric rolled on the ground as he dodged the alpha that came at him.

Instantly, he swung the dagger directly on the belly of the alpha in a perfect hit like his life depended on him.

CRACK!

Ric's body was blasted directly as the claw of the Wolf slashed at him.

Bang!

Ric was blasted back as he coughed a mouthful of blood while the Wolf was whimpering on the ground in agony.

The remaining wolves stopped on their track as they scanned everything that just happened.

Howl!

They howled and yelped, scattering back into the forest leaving the alpha faith unknown!

A sudden surge of warmth flooded Ric’s veins as the skill point integrated into his body, easing the ache in his body and making his muscles feel significantly tighter.

He leaned against the boulder, panting heavily, his breath was following a rhythm.

From the shadows of the boulder, the three ladies slowly stepped out. Kahleen looked at him with wide, worshipful eyes, while Lady Yan’s gaze was deeply analytical, as if trying to re-evaluate the man standing before them. Even Morgana had her arms crossed, the hostility in her eyes replaced by a reluctant flare of respect.

“Well,” Ric chuckled, standing up slowly and straightening his posture. “That's one disaster handled. Now, let's leave here before it's too late”

[System notification: Kahleen’s respect level increased from 0% to 5%]

Ric smiled when he saw the notification, he was beginning to understand how it now works.

The River Park Village!

After a long journey of 3 days, Ric and the trio finally arrived at the River Park Village, and what they met shocked them to the core.

Ric has seen many scenes in his previous life but this one got him deeply shocked, like what the hell!

This was a ruined settlement, with crumbling walls, it was a totally different information they got from the rumor.

As they kept walking inside the village, Ric saw starving refugees huddled in the corners, corrupt guards stealing from the weak.

It was a lawless environment.

Most of the villages kept staring at them as some guards walked towards them and surrounded them.

Most of the guard's gaze swept towards the ladies as most of their eyes were fixated on Morgan's voluptuous chest, their saliva drilling down the guard without even caring about Ric!

Kahleen being weak and fragile took a step back and moved towards Lady Yan.

Morgana was not comfortable with the gaze, as her eyes became icy cold, she wanted to attract the guards but Ric stopped her as she angrily glared at Ric.

Ric didn't say anything as he knew a man needs to protect his woman, if he couldn't handle this little issue then he doesn't deserve to be their husband!

“Oh! So we have a newcomer!” A middle aged man wearing a grey robe that smells like a local tyrant, “And we have three beauties wow!”

Ric glanced coldly at the middle aged man, and from his experience he knew he was the leader.

Ric stepped forward and introduced himself and his companions slowly.

“Hahaha, so you are all sent to this forsaken place as an exile!” The middle aged man, being the local Commander, exchanged glances with his guards and they all laughed, before the local Commander sneered coldly and continued, “Now, hand over those ladies to me and kneel down as watch me ravish their bodies in your presence!”

Ric's eyes became very cold, he took some steps forward and smiled coldly and said, “I love arrogant people a lot!’

Before the commander could understand what Ric said.

Slap!

Ric slapped the commander and sent him crashing on his guards.

He walked unhurriedly towards the commander as he slowly stood up from the ground and spit a mouthful of blood.

The commander's eyes were cold as he wiped his mouth with his right hand and smiled coldly with his teeth stained with blood, “Good…!”

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

The commander's face became bloody red as he couldn't understand how such a weak young boy could have such strength, he shivered slightly as he began to regret his actions.

The guards were rooted on the spot as they couldn't even react at all.

Ric bent down slowly towards the commander and asked with a smile, “Do you want me to hand over my wives to you?”

The commander shivered and hurriedly shook his head. Ric's smile alone was like the smile of a devil.

He lifted his head up and asked the guards the same question which they stepped back and shook their head in horror.

“Are they stupid?!”

“Hell No!”

“From this moment onward, I will be in charge of this outpost.” He glanced at the commander on the floor and to the guards and asked coldly, “Do you all have any objections?” Ric asked with authority!

“No!”

All of their voices resounded in the outpost!

“We welcome the new commander!”

The local Commander now former and the guards bowed and welcomed Ric officially!

His three wives stared at Ric back with different thoughts as his weak body radiated a manly aura!

“Arrange a place for me and my wives to stay!” Ric demanded.

They were exhausted and needed to freshen up to play their next line of actions.

*****

Meanwhile, by sunset everything was sorted out.

Ric noticed a problem, Lady Yan always monitored his every move with cold distrust, he became really helpless about it because there was nothing he could say to her that would make her open up only answering one or two statements and maintaining her indifferent gaze!

Kahleen suddenly slips away as Ric followed her and noticed she was busy attending to the dying and sick villages which made him start having a rethink of what to do.

Suddenly, he noticed a flash and saw a figure wearing a cloak, climbing the wall and trying to escape out of the outpost.

Ric immediately intercepted the figures.

He moved swiftly with his past knowledge in the military and instantly blasted the figure down the wall.

“Ouch! What the fuck was that for?” A young soft voice sounded behind the cloak and her view was fully displayed.

“Morgana!” Ric blurted out loudly.

“What?” Morgana stood up slowly from the ground, “You haven't seen someone trying to escape before huh?” She glared angrily at Ric as she tried to stretch her dislocated arms.

Meanwhile, the sudden noise brought over Lady Yan and Kahleen who were with the villagers.

Most of the guards begin to appear but when the saw it was Ric, they quietly slipped away leaving Ric and his three wives together.

Ric took a deep breath and said something that shocked all of them, “I know you don't believe in me and you all feel cold and distrust over me taking you as my wife's But let me asked you all something” he paused and slowed glanced at all of them before his eyes stared at Morgana and said, “If you leave this outpost where do you think will be safe for you especially with you status?”

They all kept quiet, they knew what he said was the truth.

He continued, “I will give you the chance, you can leave right now and nothing will join both of us” he paused briefly and continued, “Or you stay and we find a way to work things out. Together!”

Ric walked away immediately after he finished his statement, he knew he had to allow them to make their decision.

The three ladies exchanged glances with each other and could sense each other's hesitation.

Ric's eyes became cold as he faced the North when suddenly the robotic voice resounded again.
