The guards opened the door, and I walked inside and saw people sitting behind the huge conference table.

There is Stone, Cardin, Azalea. Along with four Lt. Colonels, Commissioner Julian, and Bishop Alanis.

Port master Black, Valentina, Robin, Hugo, Captain Justine, and Shaman Trik.

He is the only person from Orcs, who is invited.

I wanted to keep the people to a minimum. There will be another meeting, at twelve, where all important would be invited.

It will be held by Robin after I leave with the army.

"Lord Silver," they greeted.

"Take a seat, everyone," I said. They hesitated before sitting down while I remained standing.

"I am sure, many of you have a question about the sudden summon?" I asked, looking at each one of them.

The questions are apparent in their eyes.

"We are going to attack, Panar. The army will leave for it in two hours," I announced, without wasting time circumventing the subject with flowery words.

Immediately, the environment of the whole room had changed. They might have expected many things, but not this.

"That's what I am talking about!" said Captain Vandal. Smiling like a mad, while many others had much somber reactions.

"Isn't it too dangerous, my lord?" asked Shaman Trik.

"It is, shaman, but we have no choice. If we don't do it, the undead will keep attacking." I replied.

"Even if you succeeded, the undead won't stop," said the man, and I smiled. "They won't, but it will send them a message," I replied.

He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it a moment later.

"If we go by the current numbers, the undead have in Panar."

"Capturing it wouldn't be a problem, but the undead won't fight with such numbers. They will send more before you reach the city," said Valentina.

She is aware of the intelligence and smart enough to guess what would happen if we attacked.

"We know, we wouldn't be that lucky. There will be more undead waiting for us in Panar than it is right now," I replied, with a smile.

Of course, I understood the reality and planned according to it.

Panar had sent a lot of undead and powerhouses with the horde. If we were to fight, what is present in Panar; conquering it wouldn't be a problem, but that wouldn't happen.

The undead have spies and they will know the moment the army leaves the city.

They will be sent the reinforcement. The question would be how much?

If it is beyond what we could handle. We wouldn't hesitate to retreat. We want to conquer the city, not get wiped out by the enemy.

"I think, it is risky. We should wait, before attacking them," advised Hugo.

He is the one who hates the undead the most, but he isn't letting his hate cloud his judgment and he isn't wrong in his advice.

"I wish we could, but this is a rare opportunity. We might not get another one," I replied.

The opportunity is better than I had thought.

In my plans, they weren't using the forces of Panar to reinforce themselves, but thanks to battle in the sea, a lot of their ships had sunk, leaving them with no choice but to do that.

A few minutes passed, and I answered, the questions others had.

"Now, the last thing," I said, and Ina placed a box in front of me.

"By my authority as the Lord of Greltheaven, I promote Thaddeus Stone to the General," I said.

"It is my honor, my lord," replied Stone as he saluted me. "You earned it, General Stone," I said and pinned the stars and badge to his uniform.

A few minutes passed, and the people slowed down, to around thirty-three thousand. Thought people kept coming for a few minutes more before finally stopping.

"Thirty-five thousand," said Asit, and I nodded.

It is big enough, but I would have liked it. If it had been bigger; the undead wouldn't let their city get conquered without the resistance.

'At your positions,'

A command rang out in my mind, and I moved toward the position, that was projected in my mind.

I am Major and like most mages; I didn't have a direct command.

It is a warrior's job.

I could get the command if I wanted, but like most mages, I am satisfied with the rank and higher salary. Mages have higher salaries than other people of the same rank.

Most mages dislike commanding. We will fight, but won't waste our time with other intricacies of it.

We would rather focus on spells and research. We need to advance in our class.

We can't simply fight the battle and advance.

I reached my spot and stopped beside Major Garzong. I have been paired with the man since the first battle and I have to say, we worked well together.

It did not feel strange to be in the company of the orcs anymore, before coming here in the Greltheaven, I had only seen orcs in cages.

I nodded at the man and turned to Lord Silver, who had finally made the entry.

He is wearing light armor and has a rapier at his waist. It seemed like, he planned to come to Panar with the army.

I turned to Commander Stone behind him and was surprised immediately.

'The stars,' I thought.

It should be General Stone, now and he isn't the only one, who seemed to be promoted.

Colonel Azalea had been promoted to Major General, if what I was seeing was right.

So, were the Lt. Colonels behind her.

I didn't see Colonel Cardin and Lt. Colonel Hiren, but it seemed like they were not coming.

I wonder whether they are promoted like these people.

They stopped in front of us, and everybody became quiet. My heart started to beat wildly, and I hoped, the whispers I was hearing were true.

"My people, you all have fought bravely today. Wiped, the enemy, that has over ten times more numbers than us," said Lord Silver, with his eyes moving around the army.

"I wish this would be enough to stop the enemy," he paused.

"Unfortunately, it is not. The enemy will come and keep on coming, till we teach them a lesson, send them a message."

"If they attack us, we will not just defend. We will attack as well."

"Tonight, we will march toward Panar and conquer it. To make the enemy, understand, that there is a cost of attacking us!" he thundered.

His speech filled everyone with purpose, even I felt all the hair on my body rise up.

"So, who is with me?" he asked.

Thud Thud Thud

The group began to shake as our legs hit the ground hard. The response is stronger than even earlier.

His speech had fired up everyone.

It was not just the speech; it was also the belief in the young man.

He had earned respect. That if he asked the army to jump into the fire. It will do so without hesitation, as they know, he will be there with them.
