184 Chapter 184: Military School (1/2)

Caesar stroked the rough fur of one of the larger bears, a doting smile plastered on his face. He had not seen his beautiful bears for quite a while, and from the looks of it, their muscles and intelligence had further increased since the last time he saw them.

The mana within their body was rich and the dozen or so bears easily pressured the knights on the training grounds. Unfortunately, most of the knights were either in school or currently at home, thus, only a hundred or so knights were on duty.

Not to mention the fact that most of the present knights were recruits, further lessening their chance of victory. Naturally, they wanted to decline his proposition, however, such an action was deemed impossible by the older men, and they immediately unsheathed their wooden swords.

The younger recruits, although still confused, followed their instructors lead and shakily held their swords. A mocking smile played on Caesar's lips as he observed their rather inefficient formation, stance, and mindset.

”I'll inform the newcomers on the rules before beginning,” Caesar said, ”number one, you may not fatally injure, nor use bladed weapons. Number two, you must not cheat and use any underhanded methods. Number three, giving up or running away in unacceptable.”

As Caesar's words ended, he raised his right hand in the air and signaled for the battle to start. The flame-bears instantaneously roared and charged forward on all fours, striking fear into the new recruits and causing some of them to drop their weapons.

A few of the stronger and battle-hardened knights roared a few times and attempted to direct the younger men, however, their efforts were in vain. Before they could even possibly enter into a formation, the bears charged in and begun irreversible chaos.

A plume of dust was wafted into air and Caesar wasn't even forced to raise a single finger before the flame bears absolutely decimated the knights. Like ragdolls, their bodies were flung all over the place and streams of tears fell from the younger men.

The older knights, however, simply played dead on the ground and hid under their unconscious teammates. Such a scene was rather comical and Caesar couldn't help but chuckle, he wanted to strike fear into the rookies and force them to start striving for strength. If they didn't, their deaths were inevitable if a war were to start.

With this in mind, Caesar clapped his hands and gestured for the flame bears to retreat. Of course, the trained bears immediately stopped what they were doing and grouped up behind Caesar, laughing mockingly at the fallen knights in front of them.

”Do you understand now?” Caesar asked, ”you were caught unprepared and you moved into formation far too slowly. All of you felt fear and your movements were sluggish because none of you were used to battle,” he continued whilst staring at each of the younger men in the eyes.

Some of their pants were full of urine while others had directly gone unconscious from the sheer shock. Such a pathetic scene was intolerable for the ”demon marshall”. In fact, he could feel anger rise within him at the mere sight of such inadequate warriors.
