Devaguea smirked as his people, who were already on the land with the mine, submitted, which meant he could be as forceful as needed. While he didn't order anything overt, he did post a sizeable portion of the guard in the fort, and they made twice daily checks on the mine, and barbarians that weren't supposed to be there were 'requested' to remove themselves back to their lands. His people were under orders to not start anything, but to finish it if the barbarians did, and then report back so they could move a relief force into the area directly. Though e doubted they would need to, as Allison took a trip out to the mine, and used a few spells to get rid of the water, water breathing, wall of stone to seal the hole, and then had Sena help remove the water so the workers would stop lounging around.<br/><br/>Once the mine started moving metal, the dragon figured the others would either submit or do something stupid.
