The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Alex politely requested the trio to lead the way to their village.

Though it was a request, from their perspective it was anything but a request.

The words felt like menacing threats under everyone's presence.

But what could they do?

They don't have any option except to lead the way towards Crestford village.

The scenery around them changed and Alex's eyes caught the sight of a human settlement from afar.

Streaks of green vegetation disappeared and a large patch of clear land appeared.

But it was a scene, which was quite different from what he expected.

The huge farmland that stretched over the horizon looked dry and bleak.

Plants were growing on it but the product didn't look to be much.

A soil with low-quality yields around 12-17 quintals per acre while good ones produce 22-34.

[1 Quintal=100 kg]

The farmlands in Leonhart produce 24 quintals of rice or other crops per acre.

But the lands before him seemed to produce less than quintals per acre.

"Is the soil here really bad?" Alex asked Ken.

"No, we used to get 19 quintals per acre but due to the drought and many other things, the yield of crops had been reduced."

"We have tried to add fertiliser and many other things but nothing seems to work."

"What do you mean by other things?"

"You should ask the village chief for more information?"Ken replied.

" How do you all live if the harvests are so low?"Max asked.

"Didn't I say, we mostly hunt? The Crestford forest is filled with small animals and beasts. We are also good at rearing and fishing."

"Hunting provides us with a bit of supplement. We are lucky to have the backing of the Forest God. The situation is worse in other situations."Rony explained.

"Please lead us to the village Chief first," Alex said.

As Alex's men approached the village, they could see some movements over there.

Alex's steps halted which was followed by his men as he saw the villagers who were working in the open space running away after seeing them.

Some hid in their house and shut their door while others seemed to be fleeing away.

"It seems we are again mistaken as bandits," Riya muttered.

Alex looked around his men who lowered their heads with flustered expressions and then looked at Ken and the other two with a pleading gaze.

"I should inform the village chief and get rid of the misunderstanding. Until then, please wait here." Ken spoke and walked inside the village.

After some time, Ken was accompanied by a few men leading an old man walking towards them.

The old man glanced at Alex with a scrutinising haze.

There was a hint of weariness in his eyes.

He observed Alex for a moment and asked"I heard from Ken that you were the soldiers who had been struck due to a mission."

"Yes!" Alex lied with a blank expression.

Alex had already prepared for the inquiring questions. He was shocked when he knew that he was in Arkham.

This was his first long-range teleportation but that didn't mean he would mess like a newbie. So, the only plausible reason why he was teleported to Arkham was due to Lady Luck's Blessings.

His luck or rather to say his destiny had pulled him here to accomplish something.

He came to know from Ken that he was 600 km away from the border of Arkham and after 200 km from here, one could start to notice military check posts.

"Can you describe the mission? I mean it's not that I can't trust you but doing the mission in the Crestford forest sounds a bit weird."

"This village is under me and I can't let any anonymous person come and go as he pleases without proper identity. Especially a bunch of people like you."

"I understand your concerns. I can't divulge about the mission but we were sent here to examine something. You see this place shouldn't hold any dangerous beasts but we have found the beast of Transcendent rank and Legendary rank here who don't belong to this place."

"We were asked to hunt them for the safety of the nearby village and try to find the reason behind this."

Alex didn't know about the place but his experience in the wilderness played a vital role.

The Village Chief's expression stiffened on hearing Alex's words.

"So, even you all think it's weird."

Alex explained his made-up story about his team have been fighting for days against the beasts to keep the villagers nearby safe.

"Sir, I am Rex. Nice to meet you." Alex spoke.

"I am Henry! Nice to meet you all soldiers."

"But before we could talk more, I think you should all wash up properly," Henry suggested.

He was finding it hard even to stand nearby them.

Alex smiled awkwardly and stepped back.

Under Henry's management, baths were prepared for Alex's men along with fresh clothes.

Riya pulled away village women separately.

The villagers were quite simple and the women of the village were quite open.

They pulled Riya from the rogue man and helped her to wash up and they were amazed to see her beauty and milky soft skin contrary to theirs.

Though her looks were haggard, her body smelled like fragrance. The Village women praised her endlessly and were happy to mingle with noble women which was a rare occurrence for them.

Riya's thin skin wasn't able to handle their praises and she just shook her head shyly.

.............

While Alex and his men finally made themselves comfortable in the village, far away from the Crestford village a certain group was busy doing their work.

The area was dark and rotten giving one a dreary sense of eeriness.

Thick dark fumes hovered in the air which when inhaled acted like poison causing beasts to die or went on a rampage.

Five shadows appeared and walked through the place. The atmosphere and dark fumes didn't seem to affect them, rather they increased their vigour.

"This place seems to be quite suitable." One of them spoke while stepping forward.

Trees swayed and the branches started to extend towards one.

She looked at it and spoke with a seductive smile"Bad boy, it's not for you."

The branches extending towards him wilted suddenly and then the tree became a husk.

"Let's deploy it." She spoke and pulled out the box.

The woman opened up a box and a dark aura radiated all around the place covering the entire land in darkness.

"Lady Moss, it seems to be too strong."

Moss nodded with a smile and looked at the five who were trembling due to being suppressed by the aura radiated from the dark mass of something.

"What did you think of this? This is the sacred seed which will help us to bring the reign of Our God quite fast. With the help of this thing, the world shall know the existence of Our God and soon worship him." Moss muttered and placed the dark mass of a substance from the ground.

As soon as it touched the ground, it started to burn with a dark flame and dark miasma spread all around like turbulent water flow.

"We are done here."

"You three stand here and guard this place."

"Loar, you are coming with me. We have some things to do."
