Chiron massaged his jaw a little, however, he shook his head.
He turned to Commander Hardstone, "I am sorry, but as you can see, things are not yet stable in this country. But I employ you to send my encouragement to my uncle and his men. I assure you that the moment I am done here, I'll immediately rush in for the assist."
Commander Hardstone heard this and could not help but be disappointed.
He wanted to talk some more, but Captain Timi patted his shoulder, and shook his head at him.
Commander Hardstone understood the signal and stopped.
"In that case, my work here is done. I will be leaving by the morning to be once more at his Majesty's side."
Chiron nodded at this, "Then I'll leave the arrangement for your return with Captain Timi."
Chiron turned and left in a haste.
Captain Timi turned to Commander Hardstone, "I understand! Truth be told, it's not the military power here that is needed in the north or the west, is it?"
Commander Hardstone shook his head, "No! It isn't! What we truly need is an incredible commander. Prince Chiron was able to subjugate an entire nation with not up to a thousand men. Imagine what he would do with the tens of thousands of troops stationed in the north and in the west."
Captain Timi nodded, "you are right! He is really incredible. Sometimes I forget that he his not even thirteen yet. He is already frightening at such a young age. I can only imagine what would happen if he becomes king and is twenty. Who knows, we might even become a part of the Round table."
Commander Hardstone heard this and turned to his brother. Both men could not help but burst into a slight chuckle.
It was true that Chiron was talented, but those guys at the round table were on a different level.
They were the invisible hands that controlled the workings of the whole world.
In fact, who knew? This war with the other nations might be a part of their workings.
Commander Hardstone nodded.
What Captain Timi had said was true. Chiron was only a few years old. It was not right to push such heavy responsibilities to him.
Especially not after everything he had been through.
Both brothers talked as they left the place.
Meanwhile, the moment Chiron went back to his room, he drew out a plan for himself.
The Highlands?
Definitely! There was no way Chiron was going to allow such a juicy fruit walk out of his sight.
However, he would have to make preparations.
Chiron immediately opened the Fate change System.
Instantly, he went through the store.
According to the system, they was nothing he required that he could not get here. All he needed was Fate points.
As he did, he came across a tag that was labeled: Mask.
Underneath it, he saw all kinds of things.
>> Mask Eyes, Nose
>>Mask Face
>> Mask Height
>>Mask Build
>>Mask Person
>>Mask Energy
>>Mask Allies....
The list went on and on. There was even a tag for masking country and the last one underneath it was something Chiron did not expect.
It was ... Mask Fate.
However, the points required for this one was just too much. Basically, even if he managed to kill every person in the Chanland Kingdom and the Vandora kingdom, it still won't be enough for the required Fate points to grow.
Chiron sighed as he choose to remove his mind from it.
At least for now, it was not important.
However, it still goes to prove that they was someone watching him.
In other words, his gate was being monitored.
Chiron went back up the list and he traced it step by step again.
He came across a few that looked okay for the current job.
The only problem was that this required changing a part of his body.
Chiron did not want to change too much.
For example, if he took the tag that changed his height, this could affect him in a fight.
Meaning that his judgement in a fight is going to be affected.
A punch or kick that he would have easily defended against could hit him because of bad judgement.
This was the same thing for a knife or a sword.
Whether it was the weapons length or even a flying arrow.
Chiron was not so stupid as to allow such a thing happen.
For this assignment, he had to pick wisely.
At the end of the day, he retained his height, but picked a change for his face and of course, his Aura.
Chiron checked his faith points. It was very low.
This was to be expected as he just got his hands back.
"Hunter!" He called out, and instantly a shadow pool appeared.
Hunter came out from it.
"Go into the Chanland Kingdom. I need you to kill every living thing in a town and two villages before the morning of tomorrow. I'll advice you take out that town Razad and his men were hosted first. So that Iceberg can blame it on Razad."
Immediately the order was given, Hunter dived into the shadow pool.
Now, all Chiron had to do was wait a bit and sure enough, it was not even up to ten minutes, his fate points started to increase.
For this plan, there was no time to waste. Getting fate points by killing people might be stupid as it wasted the possibilities of more points by changing their fates. However, it was currently the quickest and most effective method.
While that was in place, Chiron scrolled back up.
He willed and the puppet appeared from the system.
This puppet was the reward he had gotten most recently from the system after Defending against Fate.
Just as instructed from the system, he placed a few drops of his blood on its forehead and the puppet instantly transformed into a splitting image of him.
The only thing being that it was naked...
