As I sent all the ores needed to build the cities and town at Krishn world, I had to let things take its time then.

“I didn’t check over Lily and others,” I thought about the training going on under the hand of that fierce female Hector.

Last time I saw her taking them into an old ship and letting them fight aquatic monsters. But when I got near the river, I could see the training grounds there had changed a little.

The digging process ended and instead, there were long deep trenches, covered in ocean water, and even had lots of monsters in them.

On the ground, I saw lots of humans wielding their weapons and fighting monsters in the water. With the narrow area of the trenches dug by my forces, the monsters didn’t have much space to fight properly.

So there was no real threat over my forces, and instead the forces here got the chance to taste monster blood and got a glimpse of their fierceness.

Such a way of training was simple and effective. Most of my human forces didn’t fight properly before. Also there were lots of newly acquired slave humans who just got to fell the wind of freedom over their faces.-.

On another side, I saw a larger trench that could be considered as a small pond. It was filled with ocean water as well, but monsters here had much room to move in, making it much harder to fight them.

It wasn’t just one pond, but a group of around a hundred. Around each one, a large number of humans stood there, fighting in teams of three, five, and even a hundred against fierce monsters.

And on their heads stood a bunch of Hector elites, shouting orders, giving instructions all the time. I got the feeling that this place was designed for my forces to learn how to fight in large groups.

From what I saw before at the last battle here, the Hector forces did extremely well thanks to their team work. If my forces managed to learn that, then they would become fiercer.

At the distance, and just a few miles away from the shore, I saw a group of old ships standing in the middle of the ocean, with people on their boards fighting deadly battles against all kinds of aquatic monsters.

Lily was indeed fierce in her training! She didn’t only develop the training fields here to be like this, but she also expanded the deadly way of training to allow many humans to get a taste of such an intense battle atmosphere.

“They are doing fine,” as I saw all this, I decided to not disturb their training and just watched from far away using my Hawk Eye skill.

I spent an hour or so watching the fighting going on all the training grounds. Lily and her men did a great job in absorbing that much number of my forces and let them all train without missing anyone.

Also they arranged training to be in such a stepwise approach. Just during that hour, two groups of hundred humans did well at fighting monsters at the ponds, and they were sent to a gathering place at the shore.

There I spotted two more groups waiting. It seemed they waited to gather enough numbers to board a single ship before throwing them into the heart of hell.

This was… A very brutal and well thought of training method that I doubted Lily could come up with on a whim. It must be a standard way of training at Hector race worlds, making me inwardly sigh out of envy.

Compared to these races, my human race was so behind.

As I saw enough and got to crack down this training method, I decided to go and start my own training as well.

I had to not neglect the cultivation training. However when I thought about it, I had to consider the new option I had.

Time difference was something alluring for me. Spending weeks there for a single week here was really enticing.

It would save me lots of time here. After all, I was bound with the upcoming fourth quest, the clash of lords.

Each lord would get a bonus to attack nearby lords. As I was kicked off the quest race, I was deprived of such privilege for sure.

Besides, those races would all gain stat points much more than my boys! The difference would be big, and I had to consider how to defend against such a threat.

The Hectors at that Eastern continent were acting calm. I knew this calmness was just for preparation for the fourth quest.

Once the quest would start, they would try everything they had to come and burn my capital to the ground. I didn’t know if the defences would be finished by then, so I had to think about something effective.

A plan must be put, especially when I had lots of forces at my disposal at the moment. Seeing the clear progress my boys had under Lily’s instructions made me feel we had hope.

And there was also something else that we could rely on, that cultivation recipe!

So before leaving, I decided to go out and see if that lady got the recipe.

She delayed it for so long, and I wouldn’t wait any more.

Tell me you got it!

As I reached the outer zone, away from the sealed area, I sent this message to her.

Got what exactly?

What else? The recipe!

Why being in such a rush?

Come on! You have been delaying it for days now! Give it now or I’ll search for another way to get it!

Wait… Ok, I’ll go and see if I can get it for you

I closed the chat with her. I knew she was just delaying, but I didn’t know why.

This recipe was important, not only for me but for our future deal with the betting world. I knew she wanted that deal to be done, so why delay delivering the recipe?
