If they couldn't even get over it then they wouldn't be of use to him in the future. He continued this practise for 2 hours straight without giving them any break.

He himself stood there and kept note of time while ordering them when some sort of small inconvenience happened.

After the 2 hours, he shouted out, "STOP! Its time to eat." He knew that their meals were incredibly important. He could see on their expressions, if they continued any longer, they would collapse.

The only reason they never complained wasn't because of their determination. It was because of fear. They feared making Saito angry and had thus continued to do as he said even though their fists had no real power behind them.

All the groups followed him back to the centre of the village again. Saito stared at all of them and started speaking, "I believe that the villagers have probably taken the food along with them so we probably won't find anything. I can't ask you all to hunt since you will probably die before even killing a rabbit. What I want you to do is make preparations to start a fire. I will be going out to hunt and bring you the corpses of the beasts. We shall cook it here and eat it."

After saying that, Saito started to fly in the air and soon ventured into the forest. Leaving all of them alone. They remained frozen at their spots as they saw Saito flying into the air.

Some of them started to murmur in their groups "He is a god." "He can even fly? But only deities can fly? Is he a deity?"

The murmurs continued as they gradually got louder as well. Suddenly, one of the villagers said, "We should do as we have been ordered or we will incur the wrath of the god."

Wrath of the God. These four words frightened them to no end. These were just lowly villagers after all. Their knowledge was limited to what their ancestors have taught them.

Their teachings mentioned to never anger a god. Or else they shall fear his wrath. The Wrath of a God was a great storm which would destroy everything in its path without any exception.

All the groups got to work. Some were bringing the wood sticks; some were organizing the stones in a large circle while some of the people were placing the wood sticks in the circle.

Their team work wasn't perfect. In fact, it was completely pathetic if a group of soldiers saw them working like this. It took them an hour to just organize everything to create a huge fire.

They had to wait for another half an hour before Saito returned back. There wasn't anything in his hands so the villagers were rather disappointed since it meant that he didn't bring anything to eat.

Their efforts in organizing this great number of wooden sticks was useless. Saito shook his head with a smile and said, "Do you all this I didn't bring anything to eat for all of you? Think again…"

His words confused them to no end. As far as they could see, Saito didn't bring anything with him.

Saito lifted his hand and pointed it at a large empty area. He thought in his head 'Iris, release half of the beast corpses.'

[As you wish.]

The large number of corpses of beasts magically appeared in front of their eyes. There were variety of beasts that Saito had hunted. Wolves, great lizards, foxes, jaguars, wild boards and wild cats. This scene reinforced their belief in Saito being a god even more.

Saito stared at all these hungry villagers with a light smile, "Alright, don't drool now. It is going to be enough for everyone. Just carry a corpse of the beast with your group and eat it together after cooking it."

He stared at the large bundle of wood sticks. They were definitely a lot of them and would be enough for the number of these beasts. It was large enough for them if one of the villagers from their group cooked their corpse and then carry it to an empty location where they could eat it together with their group.

Saito stared the villagers going forwards to get the corpse and carry it with their group. There were some problems as two groups laid their eyes on the same corpse but one of them let go before grabbing another and it was resolved easily.

Saito stopped paying them any attention and stared in front of him. This large number of sticks would probably produce a great fire.

And if he used the Hell Flames, it would probably destroy the corpses and turn them into ashes. He spoke in his head 'Iris, lower the temperature of my Hell Flames back to the level of normal flames.'

[It is done master!]

He held just a small ball of Hell Flame in his hands. It looked incredibly delicate to touch. Saito threw it towards the huge bundle of wooden sticks.

As it entered the wooden sticks. Instead of exploding, it slowly burnt the wooden sticks one by one. The temperature was rather low as compared to the normal temperature of his Hell Flames.

All the villagers ate until they were full. There was enough meat for anyone. After they had their meal, they looked at Saito with complicated expressions.

They didn't really know what they felt about him. They didn't like him because he had made them work until they felt as if they were dead.

However, it was also the first time they had eaten a full meal of meat. It nourished their bodies and provided them strength.

It seemed that it was true that to conquer a person's heart, his stomach should be conquered first. The villagers who didn't feel a trace of emotion towards Saito slowly felt a positive feeling about him.

Even though their displeasure greatly suppressed this positive feeling. There was one thing they had unknowingly accepted in their hearts and minds. They had accepted the position of Saito as their lord, as their king!

Of course, the food didn't increase the quality of their physique just by eating to their full once. It did give them the energy to work for a long time.

This was what Saito was concerned about. They should have enough energy go through the next round without the fear of collapsing.

Saito decided to let them rest for an hour before he gave them the order to stand up and proceed towards the execution grounds once again.

They didn't hesitate to comply with his orders. For now, in their minds, they understood that if they followed his orders, they would be able to get food.

For these people who had been ruled by the bandits for multiple years. These years in which they had to struggle hard for just a mouthful of food. Where they had seen many of their family members die in front of their eyes due to starvation. They could never forget its importance in their life.

Saito worked them to the bone for the next 4 hours. He repeated his orders constantly after every 10 minutes. It greatly trained his own resolve. Even though his body wasn't tired.

Just the task of standing there, analysing every single person, making note of each person's attribute and also give his order after the fixed time would greatly exhaust anyone mentally.

To continue to do that for 4 hours straight was something that earned praise. Any ordinary person would have gone crazy from mental exhaustion.

By now, as Saito had expected. A pained expression appeared on the faces of most of the bandits. They were greatly astonished that after the break, the punches of these weaklings held enough power for them to start feel pain.

The bandits who had pained look on their faces were being hit by the male groups. The females were a little less successful and weren't able to achieve the qualifications to make them feel a good amount of pain.

The groups from the males had gradually created the cracks on the ribs of the bandits. However, the most that the female groups had managed was break one rib bone.

It was far from completing their task.

Suddenly, one of the male groups loudly shouted, "Your majesty, we have accomplished the task of destroying all his rib bones."
