Indecisive Decisiveness

"So?" I said. "What are you going to do now?" I just spoke frankly. 

More than half of the army was dead and the general was gone. 

This kid was in charge. 

Was he going to take charge and try to attack me? Highly unlikely. 

They could have always run away in the midst of the chaos, which they didn't. 

That meant these people had something else on their minds. 

Or maybe they were just too scared to run?

Highly plausible.

But now came the question on what the hell I was going to do with them.

'Would you like to consume the rest of the army? The mana can be stored and used to fight the emperor.' The spirit, sure was eager. 

I only used this since I had to protect the people below. Not because I wanted to get instantly strong or something. And definitely not because I wanted to cause mass genocide. 

'NO thanks.'

"We, we surrender!" The kid begged at my feet.
