I thought my walls solved the problem, but there is a new problem raising after I built my walls on the two sides.

Now that the salamanders aren't dispersing, they are starting to converge on the tanks and the tanks are starting to crumble under pressure.

After fighting for almost thirty minutes, they only managed to kill the half of the salamanders. Biggest problem that can come up on the battlefield is beginning to pop up.

Morale. Our side's morale is falling. There are still more than two hundred salamanders alive and the tanks are starting to crumble.

As soon as the tanks break, everything will be finished. Guild masters and the princess are doing their best to raise their morale, but they are failing miserably.

At this rate they will be wiped out. I come next to the under-guild master.

"Aren't you going to do something? At this rate, all of you will be wiped out."

"Can't you do something?"

"I already did something. I think it is time for you people to do something."

"I can kill them all, but me killing all the salamanders will make all this pointless. Princess should be the one to subjugate them. Not me."

"I suppose you have a point. Then, can't she do something?"

"Who? You mean Orlin?"

"Yes. And for people with no relation, you sure call her name naturally."

"Piss off."

"No need to curse. So, you are going to let all these people die?"

"I guess I got no other choice. Are you really not going to do anything?"

"I don't think so."

"Then I suppose I need to do something before it is too late."

After saying that, he starts to chant something in some cryptic language. As he chants, I start to feel something from him. Something savage. His eyes start to change color and blood red aura that was covering his silver gauntlets starts to cover his whole body.

Others near him start to take some distance from him. After few seconds he stops chanting. I actually feel threatened by him now.

Before I only felt something from him. But this time I'm actually being threatened by the aura he is exuding.

As soon as he finishes chanting, he starts to bulldoze his way through the salamander pack. Wherever he passed by, salamanders get crushed under his heels.

He should have done that at the beginning. Making me do labor.

As guild master plows down the salamanders on the front lines, mages AOEs mow down the back. Specially Guild master's spells decimate the salamanders.

Princess isn't doing so bad for herself too.

Still, under-guild master is reaping the monsters like harvester during autumn harvest. As he mows down most of the monsters, other participants' morale raises too. And they start to fight with more gusto.

At this rate, it won't take a long for them to subjugate this stampede. Under-guild master's blood red aura starts to recede after five minutes of reaping of the salamanders.

But by that time almost ninety percent of the salamanders are dead anyway. There is only handful left alive now.

Others get rid of the remaining monsters after five more minutes. As the last salamander falls to the ground dead, this monster subjugation comes to rather satisfying end.

Let them be female knights, foot soldiers, adventurers or operatives, they are all dead tired. But the one who did most of the work is as spry as a spring chicken. I don't know what that man is made out of.

As the fight comes to an end, sky starts to get overcast. I think it is going to rain.

"I suppose this ends the subjugation?"

"Yes, it does."

"What was that skill you used at the end?"

"Bloodlust. Advanced berserker's skill."

"Why didn't you use that at the beginning and be done with it?"

"I told you. If this plan is to see fruition, princess needs to do it herself if possible."

"So, she is fine with the casualty?"

"I highly doubt it. I still haven't met her. And I think it is high time you met her too."

"Well, since it came to this, I suppose I don't have much of a choice."

"Yes, you don't. Now come with me and meet the princess."

Now then, let's see if it will be a pleasant meeting.

While walking to where the princess is, I start to feel something from inside my first door. And as soon as I felt that, I enter my Soul Palace and open my first door.

And I see there next to my world tree, wolf cub with pitch-black fur and blood red eyes. As I enter my door, wolf cub looks to me.

No matter how menacing he may look, his stature is still too adorable.

"I take it he is done digesting the fruit?"

"Yes, he managed to digest it and survive. Lucky little cub. I suppose not lucky really, huh."

"I knew he would survive it."
