Chapter 226: 226 - Monsters.

A few days had passed since then.

Ward was still inside his mansion as he was collecting a large number of letters that were arriving. The number of people wanting to join the army was enormous.

"A lot of people signed up. I didn't expect that." He said as he looked at the mountain of letters in the middle of the mansion's meeting room.

Luna at the side looked at it a little disheartened.

"We won't have to read all these letters, will we?" She asked as she sat down in one of the chairs inside the room. She looked discouraged just from looking at that large amount of letters.

"I'm not going to do that..." Ward crossed his arms and shook his head several times to both sides in denial.

Luna looked at him and smiled.

"I'm not going to do that either." She said as she shrugged.

"Don't worry, I'll get the soldiers and maids to read those letters. Although, we don't need to read them all since whoever sent those letters just needs to show up at my next meeting."

"True. But we need to read it all, don't we?"

"Well, at most they will tell their life story to try to emote us. I don't think we need to take any chances, just leave it at that."

"If you say so..."

"Let's just have a next meeting with the people who have enlisted. After that, we'll catalog everyone's family so we can help them."

"Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course. If we don't keep our promise, people will leave the army."

"But couldn't you just force them?

"My reputation would get even worse. Let's just help them with some money, I think we have enough for that. I haven't looked at the vault in the mansion yet, but I'm sure there's plenty."

"True. This mansion is so luxurious."

"Yes. Now let's go to the throne room. I will prepare a new meeting with the people who have decided to join the army. After that, I plan to deploy some soldiers or hire some people to catalog everyone's family."

"Right."

Then Ward and Luna left the meeting room along with one of the armors and went to the throne room. As soon as they got there they found the rest of the armors and some soldiers.

'I should just dismiss them, shouldn't I? They're don't want to protect me anyway.' Ward walked towards the throne as analyzed the soldiers.

He sat down on the throne and cleared his throat.

''All right. I need any of you to schedule another royal speech, but this time only with the people who have joined the army."

"I'll do that." One of the armors prepared to leave, but Ward stopped him.

"Relax, I'm not done yet."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Ward looked at the armor for a while longer and started speak again:

"Also hire some people for me. It doesn't need to be very competent people. I just need some peoples who can read and write."

"Sorry to ask, but why?"

"I need to catalog the family of the people who have volunteered so I can send the financial aid. Oh, and don't forget to get lots of paper and ink because the amount of people who have signed up is very large."

"Speaking of which, we received letters from all the mayors. It seems that many people are interested in joining the army."

"Really? This was better than I thought."

"What do I reply to them?"

"I want you to send a letter to all the cities and ask the mayors of all the cities to do the same as I am doing now. Ask them to catalog all the families of these people and then send this information to me."

"Right."

"All right, do that immediately. And you, go help him." Ward pointed to one of the human soldiers inside the room. The man-made a sour expression, but then immediately left the room to go after the armor.

"Ward, will we have enough money to support everyone?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm sure we have."

Ward smiled at Luna and then stood up from the throne.

"But now I have other jobs to do. Armors and Luna, come with me." Ward gestured and left the room.

Luna was walking beside him and the armors in the back.

"What do you plan to do now?"

"It's simple. The recruiting beastmen soldiers were so fast so now it's time to recruit monsters."

"Monsters?"

"Yes, exactly."

"But how will you do that? I've never seen something like this before."

"It's a fairly common magic for demons like these armors there. If we have help from them we can recruit the monsters with ease."

"Sorry to correct you, but that magic is from our master, Lord Hades."

"Whatever, it's up to you guys to use it anyway. It's a shame I can't use much magic." Ward bowed his head dejectedly, but Luna at his side cheered him up.

"Even if you can't use magic, you are amazing!" She said as she smiled.

Ward felt a little sad hearing that, but Luna's smile calmed him down.

"All right, I've studied a bit over the last few days and made a little map for you guys." Ward returned to the meeting room and placed the map he had made on the table.

It wasn't a very high quality or well-made map, but it was something that the armors could understand.

"Here is the capital and here is where the other cities are taking into account distance and whether they are in the south, west, east ... etc. Everything is here." He pointed at the map and showed the cities.

All the cities had been made like small circles, only the capital was larger.

"And after reading some things about monsters and the biomes of our country, it was pretty easy to set everything."

Ward pointed to a small drawing of a forest.

"Here is a forest that is about a day or so away from the capital, a forest called Fiorentina. It's pretty common to find goblins and kobolds in this region, especially in this big plain that's right next to it."

The armors looked intently and Ward pointed to another spot where he had drawn several circles together.

"It was supposed to be small rocks, so don't mind. But about that, this is a pretty rocky place that is right next to Wilshd. There you can find stone golens and some monsters that turn into balls called Armadillos."

The armors nodded and just then Ward pointed to another region.

"This is where the best monsters are, which are the demons. I am very excited to get them. It's a swampy region with dark soil and black trees. Or that's what was written in the books."

"What kinds of demons live there?"

"Small demons with fairly powerful power. There are also stronger demons like baby hydras that like to hang out swimming in the lakes that are around there, but they are too strong for you to capture."

"I see."

"I want you guys to capture small demons and also the black Slimes that live in that area. They are quite useful when it comes to corroding armor and poisoning."

"Isn't that Slime pretty strong?"

"If compared to most, they are quite powerful."

"Got it." Luna seemed quite surprised that her brother had created a map and knew so much about the monsters. She also felt proud that her brother was someone so intelligent.

"Now have another region of plains right near Cinald."

"We will find goblins and kobolds there too?"

"No. The monsters there are even more powerful. There you can find Orcs and Ogre from all races."

"All races?"

"Yes, that's right. Orcs and Ogres of darkness who can use black magic and poisoning. Ordinary Orcs and Ogres who use only their brute strength and Orcs and Ogres of various basic elements who have a good aptitude for magic."

"That's interesting, I never imagined there were so many races."

"Well, most of the ones you guys will find are the common ones, the others are quite rare. Also, I only found out about them because I read about it in a book, I didn't know about them either."

After that, Ward closed the map and looked at the eight armors inside the room.

"Do you guys understand? I've marked these regions and I want you to gather as many monsters as you can in the next few days." Ward said while keeping a serious face to the armors.

Luna standing next to Ward was happy to see her brother acting so imposing. 

"How many monsters do we need to gather?" One of the armors asked.

Ward sighed.

"I just said that you guys need to gather as many as you can. The more monsters, the better it will be." 

"Right." The armor nodded.

After that Ward left the room and went to the throne room with the armors.. After sitting down, he called armor number 1 to stand next to him and released the seven armors to go after the monsters.
