Wolven Glade, a glade situated right in the middle of Windrain City and Dabika Village.

This Glade is famous for being the habitat for Warg, Sabre Wolf and even rumor of having Giant Sabre Wolf habituating in it.

It was a sunny day in the glade, as sun shone brightly in the sky, many Kingdom soldiers, in cheap bandit hooded shirt, pelt armor were camping near the Wolven Glade, while few hired mercenaries were also presented, weapon they preferred in there hand.

"Damn!, Just how many Warg are hiding in this glade!" complained an mercenary coming out from the glade his body covered with blood, as he carried a dead Warg on his shoulder, as he complained to the man near him.

Warg ≈

"It is better for us Drake, don't be a lazy ass and let's go hunting more after we have our break fast, it is good for training." said another mercenary, as he slightly knocked the head of the mercenary named Drake.

"Ouch! Teacher!, I don't know if I will really get powerful by killing this weak Wargs." Drake said with a little arrogance, as his teacher looked at him with alittle disappointed face.

"Stupid student! How many time do I have to remind you, never belittle someone weaker then you, ... always remember, you who is almighty in your own view, was also once used to be a weakling like them! so, what are there the chances they also can't become almighty like you?"

"Cheh! I know, I know teacher, anyway ...I heard your son seventh birthday is coming soon? what will you be giving him in his birthday?" asked Drake, while the teacher rubbed his chin.

"I am planning to hire a swordmaster to teach him sword, I heard from my wife, he has picked an interest in swords."

"What? Hiring a swordmaster?! Aren't they super expensive?"

"Yes, that's why I am taking this mission from the Kingdom, so I can earn gold to hire an expert swordmaster." said teacher, as he was only a commoner, he didn't have the status to actually order an swordmaster to teach his son the path of sword, and they will also obviously charge commoners above average price to hire themselves.

"Ahh, Then teacher, you can also take my reward from this mission, it's the least I can do for you."

"What!? ...No way, I could take away money from my stud—"

"I insist!"

"I owe you too much in my life teacher, when I was a beggar crawling in the slum for a drop of water ...you picked me up, fed me and also let me join your mercenary group." this sentence of Drake, made teacher alittle hard to counter his claim.

"Also, Why don't ya, Take it as a gift from me to your son, won't ya?"

"sigh! Fine! I will accept it." said the Teacher, as even if he truly didn't wanted to take money from his student, he was really low in fund, he could only feel grateful and accept it with a hint of guilt.

"Heheh, Teacher cheer up! I am sure when he grows up as an fine swordsman, he will repay me back." said Drake, with cheerful face, when another mercenary suddenly came rushing to them.

"Huff! Huff! Where is Boss?! Boss!"

"Huh?What happened Kedro, weren't you with Miche team to explore the glade?" asked teacher/boss, as he saw a panicked Kedro, one of his mercenary team member ... rushing to him, his face filled with horror.

"It.. It is about the glade! We encountered a Giant Sabre Wolf in glade! Leader is holding off the wolf, please we need a reinforcement!" shouted Kedro, making every one of the camp to get up from there comfort zone.

"What ! Mercenary what you saying! is it true?! are you sure?!" suddenly a man of tall stature, bulky build, with mustache asked.

"Yes sir Knight! Please we need to get the reinforcement quickly, or else ...or else Miche team may not make it out alive." said Kedro worriedly, as they all were his friends, though he escaped from there, it was just so to inform the camp, and get the reinforcement.

A Great Saber Wolf, was an A rank beast ...it was known for its ferocious attacks and having intelligence of controlling pack of Sabre Wolves.

"No! We can't face a Great Saber Wolf head on! Soldiers! Quickly prepare shield and make a fence!"

"As your command!"

"You mercenaries! go plant traps!'" ordered the Knight in command, completely ignoring the faces of the mercenaries.

"Hey! Didn't you listen my order, you maggots!"

"What did you say, you bast—" Kedro tried to curse at the Knight in command, but was stopped by Razor his teacher.

"Stop Kedro, We apologize Sir Knight, but to us mercenary ...our team members are like family members, we can't abandon them, We will be going to help them." said Razor the leader of mercenary, as he quickly began to rush inside the glade, followed by Drake, Kedro and rest of mercenary.

"Damn you fucking mercenaries! Soldier! go plant traps near our surrounding!"

"As your command, Sir!" soon, the soldiers began to plant traps near there camp vicinity.

While, a human figure was floating in the sky as a grin was in his face.

"Heh, a internal conflict ...They sure are lively bunch." said the floating figure, as he quickly flew toward Dabika Village.

...

Dabika Village, a village reaching the population of 500, it was alittle big number for a village, but because of them being located near wilderness ...they could adjust this number in the village.

Though, today village was a little lovely, as two commander from Empire has came to get rid of there problem of bandits.

Currently, two Battalion Commander of West faction, Stone Town were in the village.

They sitted in the Village Chief house, while the village chief was standing infront of them.

"Sir David, Miss Froza ...when will Lord Commander arrive?" asked the old Village Chief, while David stayed quite, as Froza gave him an cold annoyed gaze, making the chief shut his mouth immediately.

Thud!

Suddenly, the door of the house opened, revealing a appearance of an 13 year looking boy, though he was still 10 year ...he wore military uniform of an high-ranking officer, an Legion Commander badge hanging in his right side of the uniform, as his sparkling golden blond hair, mesmerising ocean-blue eye gave suited him well with the uniform.

"Slaute! Legion Commander, Sir Alard!"

"Salute! Legion Commander, Sir Alard!" both the Battalion Commander, soon gave an military salute, ...as soon as Alard arrived inside the room.

While Village Chief was almost left dumbfounded, a child looking in his 13 was actually an honourable Legion Commander?

Has the Empire gone mad or is it just him who has gone mad here?

"Oe, Old Chief are you disrespecting the Commander, where are your manners!" suddenly a cold voice of Froza entered the old chief ear, as his whole body quivered, as soon he fell on his knee.

"I am extremely sorry for my lack of manners! I greet the honourable Legion Commander! and welcome him to our humble village!"

"Hmm, no need to be so courteous and loud Old man, your half foot is already inside your coffin ... don't want your another foot inside your coffin today? right?" said Alard, as the old chief understood what he meant, his old body couldn't help but sweat soaking his cheap cloth wet.

"Haha, there is no need for sweating so much old man, I am joking ...you still have few days remaining." said Alard with little chuckle, as the chief didn't knew whether to smile or cry about this.

"Anyway, moving to the next point ...Miss Froza have all the troops arranged?"

"Yes, sir! All 200 Swordsmen, 100 spearmen, 100 bowmen, 100 shieldmen are prepared and awaiting your further order!" said Froza, her posture straight, while her voice was full of power.

"Good then!, Sir David will take over 100 Swordsmen and 100 bowmen, Miss Froza will take over 100 spearmen and 100 shieldmen! I will command remaining 100!"

"Yes sir! Your command sir!" both exclaimed loudly, village chief still in his knee, amazed by the attitude of the youngling infront of him.

This boy infront of him was no less then a 13 year old boy, but his authority and attitude were totally different from his looks, it was like a great general was commanding his soldiers in a war.

"Good, Then quickly began marching toward Wolven Glade!"

"Yes Sir!" exclaimed both, as they both began to march forward with the troops they were in command of.

As, Alard also later began marching, his 100 swordsmen behind him.
