Book 4-7.5
“It must be the moles that spread such rumors! They’re trying to rile us up to cause chaos!”
“After going through many wars, Pareia is starting to scheme a lot more.”
Kupepa wanted to say that he would do the same if it could lower the amount of damage to their warriors, but he could not speak well about the enemy. They were a unified team and had to show a unified front. Right now, that unity was the most important thing.
“We need to send some moles to Pareia as well. From what I have heard, there are a lot of people from the continent residing in Pareia; it should be easier for us to put more moles than they have.”
Everyone agreed with Kinicks’s suggestion to plant more moles into Pareia before starting to discuss what they could do right now to prepare.
“Glow!”
At that moment, the personal warriors of all three Glows called out to them at the same time.
“What is going on?”
As Nakatin shouted toward the outside, he could hear the warrior’s response.
“Some foreigner caravan was discovered by our patrol warriors and captured alive, but apparently they are all asking to meet with the Glow. They are also claiming that the cart full of items is actually offerings for the Glow.”
The three of them looked at each other with a confused expression at the warrior’s proclamation.
“Oowoooooooo~”
Warriors who stood in the front of a ton of other warriors and let out a shout that filled the hearts of the other warriors with strength.
The warriors in the front were all wearing red clothes, and their clothes fluttered in the wind as they quickly rode across on their pirmas.
These were of course the Red Storm warriors.
Originally, Yulian thought long and hard before thinking that it would be best to put a Red Storm warrior in the front of groups of 10,000 warriors. But the first person to oppose Yulian’s decision was Runa.
The Red Storm needed to remain as the Red Storm.
Runa indicated that he wanted to plant the seed in Pareia’s warriors about the undefeated record of the Red Storm Warriors. He thought that this was absolutely necessary to make the warriors believe that they could not lose a war in which the Red Storm was with them.
So then why were they in front of the groups of warriors right now? They were just standing there in place of the Greatest Warriors and Lead Warriors for this training. This allowed the Greatest Warriors and Lead Warriors to observe their brigade’s formations and inspect the condition of all of the warriors in their brigade.
Pareia’s battle formation revolved around each Greatest Warrior in charge of 10,000 warriors, with 10 Lead Warriors each in charge of 1,000 warriors, and 10 veteran warriors reporting to the lead warriors as squad leaders in charge of 100 warriors each.
These veteran warriors may each have 100 warriors they are responsible for, but if there were more than 10 veteran warriors in the Lead Warrior’s team, they personally determined seniority amongst the veteran warriors.
Since the chain of command was set up in layers of 10, it was easy to be able to concentrate on how the formations were doing, rather than focusing on all 10,000 warriors at once.
Thanks to this, the leaders were able to easily remember the problem areas or personally go and fix the issue to make their formation inch closer toward perfection. The goal of these trainings that they were doing right now was to perfect the formation at the 100 warrior level.
“Forward!”
Once the flag warriors shouted loudly and started to signal with their flags, the four brigades made of 10,000 warriors started to increase their speed.
This was not just an ordinary forward march. They were paying attention to how long they could move while maintaining their formation. The difference between ‘forward’ and ‘charge’ was that during a ‘charge,’ it did not matter whether you remained in formation. That was just an all out charge to defeat as many enemies as possible.
Seeing as how they could maintain their formation even while 40,000 warriors were running at the same time, you could clearly tell how much the warriors had been training these last few months.
“Wow~ it’s really amazing. I’ve never seen so many warriors move together in formation like this.”
Shubeon maintained the proper distance to the warriors following behind him as he admired this amazing feat.
“What is even more amazing are the Greatest Warriors like Egane-nim who can maintain a good grasp of all of these warriors.”
Hearing one of the other Red Storm warriors comment, Shubeon nodded his head.
“That is why they are our Greatest Warriors. Their strength alone is one thing, but this ability to maintain a good grasp of all of these warriors. I wonder if this broad perspective ability is actually their greatest strength. I’m glad our Red Storm only has one command: Charge. Hehehe.”
As Shubeon mentioned, having this. Broad perspective was a requirement of becoming a Greatest Warrior. Although Shubeon had enough strength to rival the Greatest Warriors, when it came to leading a group of warriors like this, Shubeon would be like a pina in front of a wild animal.
“Just focus. They will issue another command soon.”
Another Red Storm warrior eyed the flag warrior before warning Shubeon. The warriors in the front had an important role. They needed to be the first to respond to the flags.
“Change.”
As the command finally came, the formation slowly started to change to a fast but safe formation. As they were changing formations and created a half circle formation, a new command was issued.
“Break.”
The half circle formation instantly broke down into the four different groups and separated into north, south, east, and west.
“Cross.”
The flag warriors waved their flags and the dispersed warriors ran toward each other before ending up in the original straight line formation. It really was extremely accurate.
Even though they were running at a fast speed, they managed to properly pass by each other and get into formation. This type of training was so amazing even in the eyes of people who did not know anything about war.
They needed to be extremely accurate in order to defeat 120,000 with just 40,000 warriors; that was the reason Pareia had committed to such difficult training for the warriors.
They had their Glow who was the War God of the Eastern Desert, as well as a special brigade that was able to handle over 10,000 enemies with just 50 people. They also had their Assistant Warrior who had made both their Glow and that special brigade become full of admiration. With all of these factors, Pareia’s morale was piercing through the sky right now.
They knew the enemy had numbers that were multiples of their own, but none of them thought that they could lose. In fact, they had so much confidence that the lead warriors had to caution them to stay cautious.
“It is amazing.”
Runa, who had been watching all of this on a high sand dune nearby, started to speak to Yulian who had been watching next to him.
“Didn’t all of this come out of your head?”
“Even still, I never expected them to accomplish it so perfectly like this.”
Runa shook his head before responding to Yulian’s question.
“Training exercises like this have been the focal point of our Greatest Warriors for a long time. In order to fight against the Shuarei’s Venersis, our third generation Greatest Warriors needed to be in full control of the situation. Since they have always trained like this in the past, they are able to adjust quickly even though it is a changed formation.”
Runa nodded his head before continuing to watch the training with Yulian.
The training that started early in the morning was continuing into the night.
Pareia’s warriors were used to these tough training sessions with no rest, small gulps of water, and barely any food.
All of the desert warriors had a lot of pride for the mission they had to protect their tribes, but there were not many tribes that had such intense training sessions like Pareia.
These were all traditions created because of the Shuarei’s Venersis. Since all of the warriors knew that this type of training was there to have them spill even one drop less blood, there were no warriors who were grumbling even through this intense training session.
“How are the preparations going for the new weapon?”
Yulian, who had been watching the training session from multiple angles, suddenly remembered and asked Runa.
