“Good words,” I commended and praised him in such a way, giving that old man a side glance. Even if he was a great general, he should be fair with his men.

He let Legend suffer on purpose, not taking his rightful place and rank. That told me a lot about this old man’s ins and outs.

He was a sly fox, only barking to the strongest master.

Well, he was now my dog, so it’s not that bad to have such a man around. Especially if he was such a capable general as Lily described.

“Anyway, you are going to answer to my Lily from now on,” I established this chain of command so no one would think smart or something, “lead them to train and train forces here.”

“Aren’t we going out?” Lily asked with anticipation, and I could only shrug.

“Things out there are a little hectic now,” I summed up everything that happened, “so we got one day here to rest and train. Use this time wisely, and prepare armies in four groups, each will move to one beast location.”

“Got it,” she slowly nodded before adding, “Will we use them?”

“Arrange them over the four armies,” I needed lots of generals indeed, “but leave this dude alone. I have other plans for him.”.

I pointed towards Legend, and he seemed to want to ask about my arrangement for him but refrained from doing so.

“Are we going to get more forces again?”

“I will arrange this now,” this was part of the reason I decided to come here.

Cultivating was out of the picture. It would take lots of time and wouldn’t add anything to my current strength.

I had only three ways to add up my strength during this time.

One was to get more warriors, humans, and races here. I planned to keep the warriors inside my inventory, while delivering the rest over to Lily and Angelica’s people.

As for the second option I had, it was my class! I could now evolve it to the next level smoothly. Each level would open up a mighty feature for me.

I lacked enough souls before to do that. But with my current over one hundred million count, and lots more to come, I could easily upgrade the soul class to the next level.

The third thing I could do was to try out the idea of Sith. Here was so peaceful and quiet, a suitable place for me to try and take that brutal monster out and see what it would do.

We were enemies, and I forced it to become my companion. But I didn’t know how my technique worked in taming it.

Would it go berserk the moment it saw me? Or would the technique work better than I thought?

I had to try to determine that.

The first thing I did was to open a chat with Silverlining, asking for more races, warriors, and humans.

You are really impatient. But I’m working all over the place and asking even the sovereigns to help

Really? Can they? I totally forgot about his sovereigns. If such mighty figures helped, then it would be great.

They can do anything man! But I just have to reach a good deal for you. After all the three sovereigns aren’t the only ones interested in helping you right now

That’s good It seemed the crazy request I made had other benefits here, If you can secure more of these in a day, it will be a great help

I’ll see what I can do. But you know, my soeverigns won’t just settle with those weak and low grade blue bones

I know, I got silver bones for them, ready to make out any deal they wanted

I wasn’t bluffing or bragging. I got tons of silver bones, and they meant nothing to me.

The green bones were for replenishing my energy, the blue ones were for the Petals impact, and the silver ones were for these sovereigns.

I just hoped with their help, I could get better results.

Those who would come in the next day wouldn’t be able to join the battle, mostly. Only the warriors could.

But they would stay here and get hellish training from Lily. While I’d fight my way towards the capital, she would remain here and build me a mighty army.

I closed the chat with him and started to first observe the drawings I got from the generals.

They drew very complicated maps, making me feel it needed someone with tons of experience to read it.

But I got a rough explanation, knowing at least where the key places were.

It wasn’t a surprise that the biggest training camp and military defences were all situated around the gulf.

That meant they really got tons of monsters there. And using their help, they could defend the capital with an iron fist.

“I lack water forces… Mine aren’t even enough to deal any damage to these monsters…” I got a little taste of how Hectors used their forces alongside the aquatic monsters.

They would ride them and go to the ocean. The ocean was considered their turf. And if I went after them, I’d end up facing tons of trouble.

Dude, please tell me you got something to deal with aquatic armies

Fighting Hectors, right? This is something bad indeed. Well, the best thing is to have your own aquatic forces, formed better from warriors and well trained forces

I don’t have time to train forces, and warriors… Can you get me some?

Are you going against a normal army or a big one?

I’m going against their capital

Damn! That means you are going to face the royals of their race… That’s not good

You do know about them?

Who doesn’t? After all, they stole our race in the first place! Lots of races did actually, so I can’t just blame them alone

I see I didn’t know that the Toranks invented such a good means to lead their forces to a new apocalyptic world.
