Chapter 802: A Rotten Situation
Now. I wasnt bragging or anything but my reputation amongst these kids was nothing to scoff at. All thanks to certain incidents that happened during the first day.
On the night of our first training, three rambunctious kids actually had the audacity to try and peep on me showering. They were summarily beaten up by the fire elementals I left on standby. And by the time I walked out all refreshed, I found three blackened, unidentified objects
From that day onwards, the look they gave me was entirely different. Like Heaven and Hell
But in actuality, I was completely innocent. In fact, I wasnt aware of what those fire elementals even did.
To the students, however, the fire elementals acted completely on my command. That was how normal fire elementals, with their lack of independent will, would act. Naturally, the students werent aware that my fire elementals were different thanks to the abilities I gained from my Fallen Angel bloodline. Yet that wasnt something I could just explain, so I left it as it was.
After that peeping attempt, two similar attempts were made, and they were all punished duly. From that point on, the kids realized that I wasnt just a pretty face, I was pretty good with my fists as well.
Coming back to the present, the kids knew to shut up the moment I straightened my face.
Lets leave things as is for today. Tomorrow will be your final day of training. I hope everyone will get sufficient rest and face whats to come with your best.
Yes, Instructor!
Plus a desperate situation only served to better demonstrate the power of these magitek armors.
Now was the time to bring forth my great magitek revolution! Press forth, and light the way to a new age!
There was no telling how long the kingdom of Ertalon had prepared for this war. But their army of 200000 was more than enough to storm across the continent! In comparison, Andassis was the soldier who was caught with his pants down.
The fact that their northern region actually turned on them meant that there were likely moles in the other regions as well.
If the overlord stationed in the north was a turncoat as well, then 200000 was most likely not an accurate representation of the true threat
That was why the Andassean king dared not employ the other overlords even in this dire situation, lest he invited disaster into his ranks.
The king only had his own troops to rely on, and not those of the other lords. But 200000 was just the number of frontline troops Ertalon brought to bear. After all, to mobilize such a large army, one needed a large logistics network as well.
All things considered, Andassis was like a candle amidst a storm.
In medieval times, such a bloody change of power often meant that the previous ruling family was put to the sword. In contrast, competent ministers and lords might even be elevated in the new kingdom, whether it was just to placate the people, or genuinely to keep their talents. This was so for the Western Human Realms too.
Basically, there was no point for the nobility to aid the royal family in such a dire situation. It was just a simple matter of self-interest.
