Hearing Leo's words, Ash can't help but feel astonished before she shook his hand and replied, "I didn't expect that my name would be so widespread amongst all ages!"
"I was only fortunate enough to listen about your story in the Crescent Mood Dining years ago," Leo said.
"Oh, then I guess the Silver Kingdom doesn't really care about it?" Ash can't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Dragon Horn Empire is Dragon Horn Empire, while the Silver Kingdom is the Silver Kingdom. What happened over that place is not a problem of Silver Kingdom, even though they are both Human race territories. Only the mercenaries and bounty hunters would really think of thoroughly searching for you. Unless of course if you bluntly present yourself for everyone to recognize." Leo replied.
"That's really fortunate since I was thinking of establishing a trade route between the Eclipse village and the Southeast Fortress of Silver Kingdom." Ash explained, "By the way, I've heard from Venice that you have a proposal. So, how about we go back to our camp, and let's discuss about it over there?"
"Sure, sounds fair to me!" Leo nodded his head without any problem. Just from basing through Ash's words, he can immediately understand that she was actually trying to test him right now of whether he would really dare to go into her territory, a place where she would be holding 100% of his life, or not and just forget about what he wanted to talk about. If he chooses the latter, then Ash would think that he became afraid after hearing about her background. On the other hand, if he chooses the former, then Ash might choose to consider the proposal that he would be proposing to her, or maybe she will just kill him over there instead of in here since his blood might attract the sleeping Twilight Bears. The former option doesn't really show his outcome clearly, but he would still go there nonetheless.
.....
It didn't take long for them to finally arrived at the camp of the 5 Divisions.
Looking all over the place, Leo immediately saw five big huts, specifically around 100 meters big, with a different symbol of Eagle, Tiger, Elephant, Tortoise, and Dragon above each one of them, clearly implying that each hut belongs to each one of the 5 Divisions.
He could also see dozens of people doing all sorts of tasks around the big huts. Some were training, some were in sparing, some were carrying in supplies, and many more...
"You both stay right here." Ash turned to look at Ahmed and Brad. Both of them weren't part of the 5 Divisions, so they can't come inside to view the inside of the place, and they're also not allowed to listen to their private conversation, even if they belong to the same village.
"Matt and Venice, call out the leaders of the other Divisions. Tell them we will have a very important discussion that concerns the safety of the entire Eclipse village." Ash ordered Matt and Venice before she quickly motioned for Leo to follow after her inside.
Leo just simply nodded his head as he followed along. Turning to look at his shoulder, Levi was long already gone once again. That little one had surely returned back to stealing the Magical resources of the hibernating Twilight Bears just like what he had said he was currently doing before Leo called to him.
Along the way, dozens of members of the Dragon Division turned to look at Leo following behind Ash.
"Dude, do you know that guy?"
"I don't know. Maybe a new recruit or something...?"
"Surely not, right? I haven't even seen that young man in our village before. Did anyone of you recognize him??
"Nah, I don't know that guy. Anyway, what do you think is he good at?"
"Basing on his hands, I'm guessing dagger."
"No, it's definitely a bow, basing in his sharp-looking eyes."
"Stupid, he��s clearly a Mage!"
"....."
"Don't mind them. That's just the natural reaction of people who are in charge of leading the 5 Divisions. They will always analyze what a person is good at. Oh, by the way, are you good at bow, dagger, or Magic, basing on your hands, I assumed both, except for Magic at this moment, am I right?" Ash said.
"Yeah, I used both daggers and bows. And just like what you expected, I'm still training my skills in Magic." Leo replied in astonishment as he didn't bother anymore at hiding his weapon preference or even his skill level since these people here could already perfectly assumed them.
The people of the Dragon Division were really unique. It was so unique that there wasn't even any single powerful person around other than Ash. In fact, the majority of members so far that he had seen were only those of No Star level and the rest were just a mere 1 Star level. Aside from Ash, who is currently in the 3 Star Mage level, no one was of noteworthy in power. If a normal person was given a chance to walk inside here, they would definitely assume that the Dragon Division is weak.
Contrary to that assumption though, in his opinion, this is only perfectly natural. People who are skilled in leadership weren't always the most powerful amongst the group. He is a clear example of that.
To be more specific, people who are good with strategy and leadership prefer using their brain more than their fist, so improving their thinking capacity is a reasonable thing to do.
However, he's already over that mindset. Using only the brain without any power is stupid, in his opinion. How can a person even apply their strategies perfectly on the battlefield when they are weak? The opponents could just simply kill the leaders, and the entire troops would most likely become like a headless chicken.
"Come inside, they'll be arriving any-" Ash wasn't able to finish her words when suddenly 4 people arrived, "I guess we don't need to wait for them anymore."
Turning his head, Leo immediately saw what he could easily guess were the leaders of the other 4 Divisions.
"That man is Sebastian, the leader of the Eagle Division." Ash pointed at a man with a Lizard-like tail, Bat like ears, Cat-like eyes, and fingers with Hawk like retractable claws.
"That girl is Sele, the leader of the Elephant Division." Ash pointed at a small girl that has Racoon's tail, Rodent's ears, Hamster's whiskers, and a small Squirrel's nose.
"That little man is Dan, the leader of the Tiger Division." Ash pointed at a short man with the combination of all big cat race features.
"And that is old man Torre, the leader of the Tortoise Division." Ash pointed at an old man with a Tortoise shell on his back, Armadillo looking body, and a face that looked like an Ant Eater.
"Let's get inside first!" Ash said as he motioned for everyone to get inside a small meeting room, "Matt and Venice, guard outside!"
"Yes!" Matt and Venice both nodded before they closed the door from the outside as soon as the 5 Division's leader and Leo got inside.
.....
Inside the room, Leo was seated in front of the 5 Division's leader. All of them, except for Ash, were all releasing powerful Magic power, trying to test Leo's capability.
Leo was really having a hard time breathing while withstanding the powerful force of the 4 leaders' Magic power.
Well, who won't? Sebastian and Dan were both 7 Star Mages, and Sele and old man Torre were both 6 Star Mages. If a person with cultivation similar to Leo was standing in his current location while trying to withstand the 4 leaders' Magic power right now, then they would have long surely lost their consciousness.
"That's enough!" Ash soon after ordered the 4 leaders to stop the moment she noticed that Leo was already having enough.
"Yes, Madam!" The 4 leaders replied with a slight bow of their heads.
Leo's opinion about Ash greatly improved the moment he saw the respect of the 4 leaders for her.
Although Ash was just a mere 3 Star Mage, her men with higher cultivation than her clearly still fully respected her. In fact, the scene right now clearly implies that Ash is positioned at the top of their Eclipse village, Hierarchy.
In his expectations, after that Poisonous Mist Disaster before at Dragon Horn Empire caused by Ash, even if the Hybrids that had followed after her were those who decided not to give her to the Dragon Horn Empire, sooner or later an event would take place that would put a crack between the relation of Ash and her men. Unexpectedly, there wasn't any, which just simply shows that Ash is a really capable leader. To be more exact, a great Commander.
His desire of recruiting the entire Eclipse village to his Heart city can't help shooting off to the roof.
"This young man with the name Leo is here today to propose to us a safe sanctuary somewhere in Silver Kingdom. What are your opinions?"
Hearing Ash's words, Sele's face turned doubtful as she said, "Ha...? This young man here offers us a safe sanctuary? Does he even have the capability to do that? He is clearly nothing but a mere No Star Mage. At best, he can be one of the offspring of a Noble Household. But that is clearly not enough to give us a safe sanctuary!.
Sebastian repeatedly nodded his head while listening to Sele's statement before he finally voices out his own opinion, "I also agree with Sele. And an addition to Sele's statement, this young man over here, even if he indeed has the capability to give us a safe sanctuary, would definitely require something in exchange for that. Am I right, kid? And based on his age, it's definitely to support him in becoming the next Patriarch of their Noble Household. So, in my opinion, we would surely become his tool if we agree with his proposal!"
"Ash, in your opinion, is this young man reliable?" Dan decided to ask Ash first before saying his opinion.
"Me? Hmmm... It's around 30 to 70. He's 30% reliable and 70% not." Ash replied after thinking for a bit.
"Okay! I don't need to hear this young man's proposal, I support him!" Dan finally expresses his thoughts. Although what Ash had just said may sound like Leo is unreliable due to the fact that in her opinion Leo is 70% unreliable, but with how many years already he had stayed with Ash side, earning a 30% approval from her definitely meant something. In fact, it only requires 15% approval from Ash for him to become the leader of the Tiger Divison. Leo earning 30% of Ash approval basically put him on the same level as Chief Lago.
"So do I!" Old man Torre added. He also has the same opinion as Dan, the 30% approval from Ash definitely meant something.
"Are you both stupid? We don't even know yet who that young man exactly is, which Noble Household is he a part of, and what is his intention. Moreover, that young man obviously doesn't have the capability to give us a safe sanctuary. And even if he does, it's the same as what Sebastian had just said. We would become his tools!" Sele quickly refuted. She really can't believe that Dan and the old man Torre would really support this unknown young man. What's even worse is, they actually decided to support him without even hearing about his thoughts yet.
"You both should remember back the time when we were bought by that Noble Household. Do you want the same thing to happen again?" Sebastian followed after.
"I'm not stupid Sebastian, I'm fully aware of my decision!" Dan replied.
"Tch! Tch! Tch! Young people like you both should really learn to respect an old man like me! Calling me stupid? Have both of your experiences already matched up to mine?" Old man Torre voiced out his displeasure.
"....."
"That's enough!" Ash stopped all of them from arguing any further, "Let's now listen to Leo on how he will give us his so-called safe sanctuary."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Hearing Leo's words, Ash can't help but feel astonished before she shook his hand and replied, "I didn't expect that my name would be so widespread amongst all ages!"
"I was only fortunate enough to listen about your story in the Crescent Mood Dining years ago," Leo said.
