CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Lord Fragg looked on his handiwork, and decided it was good.
He now had three hundred BigBro Sligs in his army, a hundred Armored BigBro Sligs, and another five hundred Shooter Sligs. He would have liked to add some Flying Sligs to his army, but since grenades caused too much collateral damage, they would be more a threat to their comrades than any danger to the enemy.
Fragg knew what Abe would do. He had studied Abe’s tactics, even though for a long time, it seemed Abe was gone.
Abe would get help.
The infamous Mudokon terrorist would come after Fragg, probably with his equally-infamous band of “Marching Mudokons.”
That was why the army was needed: to make sure they destroyed all these dangerous terrorists, once and for all. Abe would probably try using some sneaky techniques to pick them off, one by one, but Fragg had thought to equip many of his soldiers with area scanners which revealed all nearby life forms, making it impossible for Abe to be hidden in the shadows.
Finally, Fragg was sure he had done the impossible: he had managed to make Abe’s life worth nothing.
Hundreds of Sligs, all armed with the newest guns – bullets for the BigBros and lasers for the Shooter-Class – would kill Abe. There was no way that the Mudokons could factor in a victory. And once they had killed Abe and his friends, there would never be anything to oppose Fragg’s path to power.
The Five Steps to Moolah:
1. Have Sligs.
2. Be Devious.
3. Smoke cigars.
4. Have slaves.
5. Be a Glukkon.
Fragg followed those five rules with all his heart, and he was sure that he couldn’t fail this time. Soon, Abe would be dead, and Fragg would again be head of the MeechCo corporation…competition or not.
