The recruits physical and mental training continued on. As their torturous training continues, the recruits also continue to improve but every time Razlov saw that they are improving he will raise the difficulty of their training making them very miserable.

Although they are unhappy about it they can only complain in their hearts since they also know that this training is for them and not for him. They can only grit their teeth as they continue to follow his orders.

There's also something that has changed, at first Razlov way of calling and talking to the recruits was in a normal way with an authoritative tone. He was even encouraging them by telling them 'that they can do it' or 'this is for your own good so do your best' that how he usually talk to the recruits during training. But lately, just after a week of training since the start, he suddenly started talking, calling and even shout at them with abusive words that it was really anger-inducing that even someone from the recruits wanted to punch him only to be beaten black and blue. Then after that incident, nobody ever tried to attack Razlov again so the recruits could only swallow their anger.

The recruits could only vent their anger in their training making their improvement significant. Razlov also started to see that some of the recruits have leadership skill, a skill that is suitable for being able to lead a fireteam or a squad. Razlov decided that he will first observe and test them if they really have what it takes to lead a team.

As the recruits continue their training and keep improving, days also continue to pass; and so a month had gone by.

Although it has already been a month since the recruits started training and they should have already completed it but Razlov decided to extend their training a week more. Since the training, this time will be for those who have qualified in his test for being a leader.

Meanwhile, as Razlov and his group are training back at Kurlian Island.

Garbel city the capital of Viscount Garbel's territory. It is a city with bustling activity and prosperity and it has a population of ten thousand or more. This was once a simple town that was in the control of the kingdom but ever since Viscount Garbel receives this territory he slowly developt it to its current prosperity.

In the center of the city is where the mansion of Viscount Garbel is situated, the Viscount put his mansion in the center so he would be able to manage the city properly.

Inside the mansion at its study room, Viscount Garbel is sitting and doing some paper works. He would sometimes look out of the window and see the city he built, the people smile while walking on the street and the children playing. Viscount Garbel loved seeing all of this at his study room when he wanted to relax after getting tired of doing paper works.

Edison Garbel or also known as Viscount Garbel is the epitome of a commoner rising to a noble. He was born into a family of farmers, his father was a farmer and so his mother. When he was still a child they lived in a small farming village in there they lived their life happily. He thought that he would also be a farmer like his parents but all of it changed when he was 16 years old when a famine struck their land. Because of the lack of food, Edison at that time decided to work away from his home even though his parents were against it. He loved his parents and he doesn't want to see them suffer because there's nothing to eat.

Hardening his heart, together with his best friend they sneak at night and went on their journey without notifying anyone. When they arrive at the town, it was exactly at that time that the kingdom's army was recruiting and due to its high salary Edison and his best friend decided to join the army.

In the army is where Edison shined due to his clever mind he manages to rise from an ordinary soldier to a battalion commander. When he became a battalion commander he was granted a court rank of Baron then he was given a fief. Then due to his further military exploits as a battalion commander, he then became a brigade general commanding ten thousand soldiers and he was given again a court of a viscount and additional fief.

Edison parents were able to live a life of riches due to him being noble. He also married 2 wives then had 3 children, 2 boys on his first wife, and a girl from his second wife.

That was a story 30 years in the past and now at the of 50's he had already long retired from the army and living the life of peace in his territory as he manages it. Just like him, his 2 sons are also in the army while his daughter is still finding someone fitting to be her husband.

As Viscount Garbel was watching the city in his window, a knock was heard at the door.

"Come in"

Then an old butler come inside the room.

"Master, commander Charl is here and his in the hall."

"Let him come meet me here"

Then the old butler walks out of the room after a while an old man in his 50's walk inside the room. He is wearing armor and you can clearly see that he is an experienced soldier from the way he carries himself.

"Master, what is it you've called me for?"

"Charl how many times have I told you that just call by my name when its only the two of us, no need for formalities."

Charl was the best friend of Viscount Garbel back in their village when they joined the army he was always been following Viscount Garbel as his right-hand man. Later when Viscount Garbel was given a title he appointed Charl as his knight and commander of his army.

"Hahaha, well what can I do you are a noble and my master"

Viscount Garbel could only shake his head at his friend remark.

"So Edison, what is it that you've really called me for?"

"Is it about the thing that the kingdom ordered us to do?"

Charl made a serious expression when he said this.

Six months ago, Viscount Garbel was summoned personally by the king. He was given a secret order that no one must know because this will affect the future of the kingdom. After returning to his territory he immediately ordered Charl to personally handle this matter. And so Charl instantly made preparation and then executed the order.

"Yes"

"So how are things going on?"

He looks at Charl with a stern expression, this thing is of utmost importance that mistake is not tolerable.

"There have been some tiny problems but nothing serious, they were still able to bring it to sea and are now making their way to Sanloris. But they have to take a few detours to avoid their pursuers and it will take more than a month before they arrive at Sanloris."

When Viscount Garbel heard the everything is going well, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, the kingdom spent millions of gold coins just to acquire this item. Even if we have to make a few sacrifices it is still worth it as this will secure the future of the kingdom."

Then he looks down with a frown then he tracing his chin with his hand as he is thinking of something.

"But the main problem is when it arrived at Sanloris and transporting it by land. We should never let our guard down, we should also assume that they already know that it is us that procure that item."
