The Golem Mage

52  Another Deal

Clarisa got angry when she saw him ignoring her but there was nothing she could do as she knew there was no way she would be able to fight him at the moment

Clarisa was one of the few people who felt Alec was really not strong and was just riding on the tails of his strong clansmen after all he was the heir to the present patriarch and many have not seen him fight before

And since the lanzt family said he was a golem mage they never took him seriously as they felt he was using the likes of Brandon and Arthur to build up his prestige if not he won't have pretended to sleep off

At the Banquet but showed his power in a domineering manner just like Brandon did, but all his behaviours have left them believing that he was not even on par with what the rumors says about him

Meanwhile Alec didn't know what she was thinking about but he could care less about what she thought about him

Steven was already scratching his head hard trying to figure out a way to break this tense atmosphere but was extremely clueless after all, he only had to fight the Blood Moon creatures, protect the city internal chaos and invaders from other city and getting cultivation resources

So he could rise in ranks while following orders from his superiors the life of a city guard was pretty much simple with little schemes and troubles

So when he was put in between the nonchalant Alec and the sarcastic clarisa, he just didn't know what to do to solve the problem

So he started saying a little prayer in his mind in hopes that the tense atmosphere would be broken by some mysterious power and as if the gods heard his prayers

The lanzt family mages joined the fray and just like the Gordons family they sent the same amout of mages, it was like the planned everything the Tier1 mages quickly assembly at the side of the Gordons family while there patriarch joined the Mid Tier mages in the sky.

It was clear they have been briefed about the alliance between both families, and even if they always acted like snotty brats for once there was a change in most of there expressions as the seem quite serious this time

And looked at the Gordons family with respect after all most of them have witness the Brandon Gordons fight at the Banquet and knew how skilled of a martial mage he was,

And they also heard from there Tier 1 leader (Bryan) that he was not the strongest which just made them more curious about a family which could raise monsters like that easily

Which also equates to there respect for the Gordons family squad since they were only there to fight under the Gordons family as per what there leader told them

As Clarisa and Alec both looked at the new mages joining in, Steven was happy that something else has seemed to catch there attention while Maria Darkbliss acted like none of the things that was happening was of her concern

Bryan and Sheila lanzt rode on a horse and joined Alec, Clarisa, Maria and Steven at the front as they greeted every body and left Alec for last

" It is nice fighting with you again!" Bryan said with a slight smirk as he handcupped his hand in the old Chinese way while performing a little bow for Alec as he showed his respect

" come of it, this is an agreement between both families so there is no reason to act like that " Alec said acting causal the best he could

" hmnp braggart!" Clarisa snorted as she and her sister went back to the place the mages of her family were standing battle ready..

" what a fiesty lady " Alec said back in return, clicking his tongue as he was finally relieved she decided to leave on her own

" then I shall take my leave now brother, see you on the battlefield" Steven said as even he ride back to where his city guards where standing

Alec looked at Bryan and was suprised he was still standing close to him

" what do you want?" Alec asked, because from his knowledge this Bryan was always a wise person and not one who would do anything without a plan in mind

" 30%" Bryan said

" 30?, 30 what?" Alec asked back with an confused expression on his face

" forget all you agreed with the patriarch, I will personally make sure you get 30 perfect of everything we earn in this Blood Moon as long as you command the Bryan family as you see fit, I know you don't really like us but I just know with your leadership we could survive this blood moon with less casualties " Bryan said

" number 1 am no commander " Alec said while shaking his head

" number 2 what assurance do I have that you clan will listen "...

..." number 3 and why do I have to settle for 30% now when I might be able to get that same amout or more if you guys fuck up " Alec said

" no 1 am sure you are a very good commander you just haven't noticed it yet, or do you think it is easy to split your command into different golem's and have them do your biddings, maybe two is good but like eight that's a big stress "

" even for the big shot I know most of them just stick to only two to three golem and make them as special as they can " Bryan explained his first reason

" number 2 the patriach has said anyone who disobey orders would be banish from the clan and if I say you are the new commander they won't dare not listen to your orders as we lanzt are too full of pride and banishment is one of the things that we never want to experienced "

" now for number three and the final one I can assure you that if you disagree and we find out we are still losing grounds with out a strong protection we would retreat with our patriarch taking us out of the battle field, the wind mages are one of the weakest at the start but we are very good at retreating when we want to, you can count on that " Bryan said

" I hate having to deal with you! " Alec sigh in defeat as even if he had an agreement with the lanzt patriarch, it's clear Bryan has something else in mind and might even use the Gordons family as shield to escape which was something Alec didn't want to see as

Everytime he looked at the tier one mages with him all he saw was a bunch of noobs and until they were able to stand on there own he was not

Ready to have them face that type of sneak attack from an ally, and his golems where naturally intelligent so he had never had to use his mental energy on them all the time as all he had to do was give them one command and they shall execute it to the greatest of there ability

Shocking even Alec, but that was his secret and there was no way he was letting Bryan know that he would gladly take the indirect compliments.

" so deal!" Bryan asked with his hands stretched forward, Sheila was suprised at how the conversation turned out to be as she was not expecting this but she still felt Alec might just get angry and make them the vanguard because of Bryan's attitude

But Bryan thought other wise after all he just said indirectly that they were good at retreating when things didn't go there way

And he was sure Alec was not a blind person and would try his best to utilise all he had, after all he had done it before against the zombies at the south gate

His commanding abilities might not have been perfect but it was flawless and was what they needed, it was at that moment that Bryan realised he wanted to be under such person

As Alec's Charisma when he gave orders was on another level but he seems not to have realise so Bryan was willing to help him realise it

" so do we have a deal?" Bryan asked again to wake Alec from his dazed expression n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

" what can I said, its a deal, I just pray this is the last of deal I have with you or your family as I don't want to see you two side snake face ever again. " Alec said in anger as he could feel his stress increasing

He shook hands with Bryan before making his way back to his squad..

" ohhh I know we would have alot more deals " Bryan said in a whisper but his sister heard him as they also made there way back to where the rest of the Tier 1 mages of the lanzt family was waiting

Just as he got back to his position that's when a bright red moon rose up in the sky and everyone felt there body became tense as the could feel the brutal and fierce aura that the moon brought along with his arrival

It came so fast like it teleported to where the sun was before, Alec was shocked by this certain change but he was clearly ready for what ever that was about to come

A big spacial tear was formed about a good distance away from the city gate it was opening slightly almost looking like a eye of a mysterious being that was bout to wake up

Every one was already super tense waiting for the new enemies, that was about to come

" did you hear boss it was said that the reading of the gate was so high with low tier creatures energy that even the Tier 1 creatures may reach ten thousand and apart from the city guard who sent five thousand soldiers in Tier 1 realm "

" we only sent two hundred and fifty Tier 1 mages plus us and the lanzt family two hundred and fifty mages and adding the Darkbliss one thousand tier 1 mages, that means we only have about six thousand and five hundred Tier 1 mages to face against the least of ten thousand second dimension creatures isn't that over kill " Arthur asked

" don't you just get excited by it " Alec smirked but was not looking at Arthur but the notification on his system screen
