LANGUAGE [IV] SUPERIOR RANK

Ability to use complex systems of communication and learning other languages easily and without effort. 

With this skill you can understand complex symbols and divine meaning by spending some time looking at it and deriving its meaning from your own understanding. 

[This rate of understanding complex symbols and deriving its meaning from your own understanding had increased with the increased in rank of the skill]

This ability also enables you to speak with spirits and Divine Beast. As it had reached the Superior rank you could also now read the divine writing of deities, immortals, gods, and demons. 

Any codes that is derived from language would easily be broken by the host.

-Need to undergo a destiny fated quest to gain the opportunity to reach the Master rank

Aero look at the description of the new improved language skill and he was quite satisfied with it. 

There is an improvement all around

He then was about to open another skill window and upgrades its rank when he suddenly went still in his place 

He felt like there is something entering his mind as all kinds of symbol and writing seems to materialize out of nowhere and flooded his vision

his mind seems to be filled with knowledge of all kinds of writings and symbols. 

He did not understand most of it but he knows that if he ever saw this language in real life, he would instantly have understood it

This is the advantage of an adventurer. They could easily learn all skill easily

It did not take long before he got his thoughts all calm again. The writings and symbols had dissipated and his vision become normal again

He felt dizzy for a second before he stabilizes himself. He was about to check his next skill when someone announce from the outside that they are coming in to report the progress in the battle front

'Your Excellency, there is report from the front'

Aero said from the inside

'Come in.'

The messenger enters the tent and then kneels as he presents the message. Aero grab it and read it and then he nodded.

He is pretty satisfied with Kyle actions of taking the surrendered soldiers but he does worry that Quentin would go overboard.

And then he said

'Tell general Kyle and general Quentin that I will be joining them a bit later with my private cavalry. Tell them to march first and take down the fort as fast as possible.'

He also did not forget to pen some words of advice to Quentin

Aero stressed to not go overboard when in victory

"Those who relies solely on warlike measures shall be exterminated; those who relies solely on peaceful measures shall perish."

That is what he wrote in the parchment

Then he rolls back the parchment and said to the messenger.

'This is my message to the generals. Do not give it to anyone other than the two generals.' 

The messenger nodded, took the parchment and quickly went out of the tent to give the instruction to the two generals.

On the other hand, Aero paused a bit his ranking up plans and went out from the tent

It is time to see if his private army had all return back to the camp. 

Most of them were separated during the battle and some others was separated when the slash that he had unleashed split the ground.

The area around the river is still turbulent and there is even a new path where the rivers would flow because of that slash. 

As he went out his tent, he looks around as he is seeking one of his officers to relay some orders toy the other officers and ask about the status report of the army

Looking left and right, He saw Austin, one of the officer of his cavalry units on top of his horse barking orders. 

He gestures toward him with his hand to come over to him. It is a very informal gesture 

Austin who was surveying the return of the cavalry unit saw Aer gesturing to him and he jump down from his horse and quickly come to Aero side

The moment he approached Aero, Aero simply ask.

'How is the preparation?'

Unlike in formal setting, Aero did not want to many court formalities when he is leading an army. 

This habits of his had been known by his private guards and as such, they rarely spoke of his title as Chancellor when Aero is leading his army as they were more comfortable calling him general, commander or Lord.

As the title could be confusing for some of the peasant born soldiers to understand, Aero usually did not care that much what they called him as long as they accorded the respect of a superior officer in the military.

In leading army and inspiring his soldiers, Aero is quite the practical man. 

Most of those who joined the army were not exactly subtle in their manners and most of them from peasant stock. 

Even many of his officers come from peasant stock.

Most of the peasantry lives a more fulfilling life under the reign of George and the Empire than before. 

most of these benefits of a fulfilling life for the peasantry is attributed to Aero and the adventurer officials in the court. 

While Aero did not remember fully about his life in Western Heaven, he remembers there is no slave there and as such the practice of peasantry treated like cattle by the nobles did not sit well with most of the adventurers. 

Aero did many reforms in his time as the Chancellor which opens up many opportunities for the peasant to reach high position in the administrative court and even in the military

And as expected many more peasant enters the military then they enter the administrative court 

In the past, it is only the nobles that could hold public office and become an officer in the military. 

Of course, this did not mean the problem just simply goes away. 

There are still many problems that needs to be solved as there is still discrimination between the nobles and peasants but one could not deny that with the reforms that the Chancellor had done, it has transformed the entire nation and bringing closer to a world of shared prosperity

As such, many of the soldiers who were peasant born respected and admire the Chancellor very much.

Austin then answer Aero question

'We are all prepared. Most of the officers had already returned and accounted for' Aero nodded and then after contemplating what he should do and the timeframe that he needed before he could move out, he said 

'Tell them we would move in an hour. Make sure everyone is there before the appointed time. And as for the other generals that would fortify this area, ask them to lend a few thousand of their cavalry. As for the infantry, we don't need them.' 

Austin nodded and then he went back to his group of officers to relay the orders
