Chapter 225: Plan For The Werewolves

I am too tired after the fight, so I asked Albert and Red to take care of Grandpa's funeral and the aftermath.

They will arrange the feast with Ian and Lina to cook the meal. Most of it is meat. Good thing I told them to bring some vegetables as well.

As for me, I moved to the Werewolf King's residence where Red should be living. It's the only normal-looking building in the area. I'll ask Kayla and Angela later to build some more houses with their earth magic.

For now, the King's abode is good enough to rest. The bed is made of stone, but I don't care since I have Vitoria with me. And I'm not alone. Kayla and Angela are both with me since they are tired as well.

So, I have Victoria creates clones of her. I have some transformed into a double bed for Kayla and me, and another single bed for Angela.

I slept for about an hour when someone woke me up.

"What is it? Time to go home?" I asked Albert, the one who woke me up.

"No. You're the king now. You need to give a speech and some order. I can't negotiate with other Werewolves now. They will only follow your orders. And you haven't delegate anyone to be your representative. If you want to go home soon, you have to do everything first." Albert said.

"Hmm… then I'll stay until tomorrow. Good night." And I tried to go back to sleep.

"Just wake up already! Even Kayla and Angela are already awake! I'm not like you, I'm a busy person! I need to go back to the capital quickly!"

"So, in the end, it was you who needed something, huh? Well, you have no choice but to stay! Good night!"

Annoying. I'm trying to sleep here.

"Roy! You need to wake up fast! Victoria just made some meal from her world!" It was Sonia who wake me up this time.

"I'm up! Where's the food!?"

"See? It's that easy to wake him up." Sonia said to Albert.

"I'll try that next time. Come on, Roy! You need to greet everyone." Albert said.

Sigh… I guess I have to do it.

As soon as I leave my bed and enters the meeting room, everyone cheered for me. For their new king.

It's not a bad feeling.

"Don't look so smug! I'm still a better king than you are."

"And I'm a king for one hour. Just shut up and let me enjoy the moment!"

Why does Albert always need to say something to ruin my fun?

"Oh, Roy! You wake up!"

"King is here!"

"Master, here's some water for you."

Lina gave me a glass of water while I'm listening to everyone praising me. Then she gave me some food to eat as well.

Being a king is fine, but does a king have to be watched while eating? They just need to focus on their own meal, not me!

"You'll get used to it soon. I can give you some advice as a fellow king. I'm more experienced than you after all." Albert said smugly.

"No need. I already figure out what to do."

For now, we enjoy the feast until all the food we brought is gone. Wasn't it just one hour since I slept? And if They needed at least about half an hour to cook the foods, it's still too fast for all the food to be gone!

I guess I'll just enjoy the meal in front of me.

"It was as delicious as usual, Lina. Thanks for the meal."

As usual, Lina blushed when I give her praise. She's so healing.

Well, now it looks like the feast is over. I guess I should make some rules and give orders to the Werewolves. And I need to make a contract with Shelia as well.

"Shelia, Jack, Red, come here!" I called for the three most influential Werewolves.

"What is it?" Shelia asked as the three approached me.

"Just some order to give. I will mostly spend my time in human world, so I won't be able to do much here. That's why, Red, you will be my representative here. You can stay in this place and do the same thing as you did before." I said.

"I knew it will be like this. I'll take that job again." Red said.

"Wait! I'm stronger than him, so why is it him and not me!?" Jack protested.

"Because you will only need to focus in getting stronger. Red, do you want to focus on getting stronger or lead the Werewolves?" I asked Red.

"Well, I like my previous position quite much. So, it's obvious I will choose to do it again. I will still try to get stronger, but I think there are many Werewolves here who will surpass me in strength in no time. Especially after they became so enthusiastic after seeing your match. That's why I will focus on the well-being of the settlement." Red said.

"Good. Then as for Jack, your goal for now is to get as strong as Shelia during her match or even stronger. You need to be able to run on air like she did, and also to be able to use your claws to attack from distance."

"So, it's training for me, huh? I'll accept that!" Jack agreed to train.

"You… how many Werewolves in this tribe again?" I asked Red.

"About 120 Werewolves."

"I see. Jack, you will leave the settlement and train fighting other monsters. You will only return to the settlement after one month. You will bring five other strong Werewolves with you to train. Then after one month, you will return with everyone. Then those five Werewolves will be leader of their own squads from the rest of the Werewolves. Each squad will be responsible for different things. Two squads for the defense of the settlement, one squads for hunting, one squad on standby, and the last squad will go outside again to train and gain experience. Then that squad will return after another month. What each squad will do will change every month. I need both Red and Jack to discuss about it yourself. If you think that there's a need to have more squad, just do it. Those who left for training have to return after one month has passed. As for the rest who stays, that doesn't mean they don't need to train. They can use the Colosseum and have a fight among Werewolves. But no killing! Make Grandpa's death as the last deathmatch among you!" I said.

"I see. That way, everyone will grow stronger. So, you want my duty to make and arrange the squads, and Jack is to train those who are leaving and help them getting stronger. Is that right?" Red asked.

"Yes. After the fifth month when everyone has left to train and return, no need to send another squad to leave. Have a competition to decide the rank of the strongest Werewolf. The squad with someone who has the highest rank during the competition will be rewarded with… more delicious food than what we have. As for Red and Jack who don't belong to any squad, they are free to join any squad before the competition. But each of them has to pick different squad to enter."

After experiencing today's match, I can see that competition will make people, or in this case, Werewolves, desire to be stronger. Especially if they can get a reward from it.

Hearing about the competition and the reward, every Werewolves got excited about it. They can't wait until the day they can show their strength.

And it's also a good experiment in what Albert and I trying to do. A competition in humans world to make everyone stronger.

I see that Albert understood my intention when he nodded. It's good to have someone understand you. Though we still need Victoria's suggestion since there might be something interesting from her world that we can use here.

"Wait! What about me? Why am I not included in the squads! I want to eat delicious food as well!" Shelia protested.

"As for you, you will be contracted with me. You will spend more time with me in my world, so you don't have to worry about foods. And with you here, everyone will try to get you enter their squad since the winner will be obvious. I can't have that. But don't worry, you will gain a lot of experience in my world. Maybe even more than those who train in this world. And whenever you return here, you can teach everyone about what you experience in my world and spar with them. And since you are my contracted monster, you are not allowed to be weaker than them, okay? You have to stay as the strongest in the tribe!"

"I will do my best!"

I heard jealousy from the other Werewolves. I guess I need to have them experience human world as well. I'll bring them there sometime in the future. They will need to get used to that world since the war will happen in that world after all.

"Now as for the challenge to be the Werewolf King…" I wanted to suggest something about it, but Red stopped me from continuing.

"You will stay as the king at least until the war is over. We have agreed while you're asleep to join the war. If you're not the king, it will be impossible for us to participate in the war after all." Red said.

"So, everyone has agreed, huh? That's good. Then I don't have anything else to worry about."

Now, I need to focus on my own strength. I can leave the rest to Red and Jack. Though I will visit them from time to time.

At least I have finished taking care of the Werewolves for the next five months. Then after five months, I will visit back here to see if the experiment about the competition going well or not.
