“No, dark lord… Please… I’ll do anything for you, do anything in the world, but not get called with this stingy lowly name!”
“Lowly name? Humph! If you want it changed then, go and train my forces here. Show me your worth and you will get rewarded.”
“Is it a deal?”
“Scram before I make sure everyone in the entire universe knows about your name, little turtle.”
That jerk! He never let down the idea of striking a deal with me. It was a sly monster that would never stop trying to curse me and get me under its mercy.
“Ok dark lord, but please don’t say that name again, please,” he pleaded and something told me he was faking it.
“Just do well and let’s talk about that in another time,” I waved my hand before adding, “I’ll inform the leading general of your presence and role in training the troops. Just be sure to not mess things up.”
“I won’t, I promise you my dark lord that I won’t,” it hurriedly nodded its bald head before suddenly moving towards the direction of the ocean..
This dude… It wasn’t moving like normal people! It was smashing directly through mountains, crushing sturdy and huge sized rocks into fine dust without any trouble at all.
I sighed when I saw this. It was something great to have such a behemoth as my ride. Nothing would stand in my way on the ground from now on.
Not to mention it was very brutal when coming to the ocean and water surfaces.
From now on, the aquatic fights wouldn’t be this hard on me and my forces.
Just letting my little turtle lead the forces, smash directly towards the enemy and crushing them with its brutal and cruel strength and inhuman skills… That was a scene I’d love to see a lot from now on.
I didn’t forget how deadly this dude’s attacks were. It used to summon a shower of fiery rocks from the sky, so deadly that it caused trouble for my shield back then.
Also its scary skill to divide the ocean, bring forth the rocks from the depth of the ocean was still fresh in my memory.
Its skills were deadly and scary. Hopefully they got evolved alongside its evolution and gained more skills as well.
As it went away, I sent a message for Lily to be aware of its presence. I didn’t want her to get scared when such a behemoth would arrive, mistake it for a mutation in the aquatic monsters and order a full out attack on it.
[Are you sure this is a nice idea? You are saying this is a big behemoth!]
[You’ll know when you see it. Also it’s useful, so don’t take a hostile stand against my little fellow]
[Little! Dammit Hye! I just saw it! It’s… No way to be called little!]
[That’s my way to call it] I laughed while boarding my chariot and followed it to the ocean.
With things going so smoothly with the little turtle, I had much time to observe what my little dude would do with my forces.
It took me almost half a day to get all my things done. I could move back at any moment and almost an hour would have passed on Earth.
It was the deadline I gave for the jumper. But frankly speaking, it was better to give him more time.
So I decided to wait here for at least ten more hours, examining the performance of my little turtle, check over other forces, and see how the new generals of mine were doing.
Lily listened to my arrangement. She distributed the new generals over enough forces to form a separate army each.
And they were doing great!
When I compared the performance of these generals with my friends, the difference was huge! And when I compared them in between each other, Legend stood on top of all.
This dude was really overbearing! I thought Lily was the most brutal and scary general I met so far. But watching how this dude dealt with his forces, it looked cute in comparison.
He didn’t let the forces fight in the same way others did. He arranged his forces in much smaller teams, each composed of ten people, fighting the brutal monsters on their own.
He arranged them into lines, frontline fighting the monsters and more lines behind working to aid the frontline.
From high above, all I saw was a smaller image of a real battle. The arrangement of forces, their movements, the roles they played… All were like it was a real battle.
Yet this also came at the cost of many losses! I sighed when I watched the dead bodies piled on one corner, forming a big hill.
I saw such hills scattering all over the islands his forces controlled. For a second there I wanted to stop him from using such a hellish way to train my forces.
But when I thought about the brutal upcoming all out war they’d face, I decided to let him continue.
At least they wouldn’t get startled or scared by how bloody that fight would be.
As I checked over them, I went down stairs and got a nice and peaceful sleep.
I needed this rest, needed it before the start of the next stage of this big war.
I spent almost twelve hours sleeping. It was such a deep and nice sleep, and once I got up I sent a message for Lily to start amassing the forces.
The armies of the generals training here should start to assemble and get ready for battle.
I told her to select five generals for each beast, selecting one group of them to move out now.
She told me that Brian would lead the first batch. This bastard didn’t want to volunteer to fight the capital, leaving such a deadly fight for other generals to deal with.
I didn’t object to that. After all the ones leading that final battle would be me, the little turtle, the jumper, Lily, and Legend.
