39 The Scou (2/2)

Master Shannon continued to watch the battle through the afternoon. He was really impressed by the three. They were certainly a group of demons in battle. He was confident that these boys could take on even Martial Origin Initial level Student Realm fighters. If the three of them worked together they were even the equal of someone at the Senior Student level.

Diederiun returned with a report for Master Shannon.

”My lord,” Diederiun said with a bow.

”Well, what did you discover,” asked Master Shannon.

”Reporting to Master Shannon,” Diederiun began his report.

”The brothers are Malkus and Paneneko Gun. According to records, they come from beyond the Dark Mountains and the land of the Amazons. The crossed over the Dark Mountains and came to our lands to find fortune for themselves.

They have no formal masters. They are battle hardened but extremely gifted. The Brothers abilities soar after every battle. This is not surprising since they come from the Dikokan Clan. It's not clear why they left their clan, maybe to adventure. However, like General Tower, they seem intent on bettering themselves through combat on the battlefield.

”Dikokan Clan? Those are some of the most gifted natural warriors in this world. They learn quickly and their bodies have boundless strength. The more difficult the training the greater their strength will become. They train better through battle than simple cultivation. Battle, is their cultivation technique.” Master Shannon pondered aloud. His demeanor didn't change, however, there were fiery embers burning in his eyes.

”All three of these youths have tremendous potential. I must convince them to follow me to the sects!” Master Shannon said. Looking at the Duke, Master Shannon smiled.

”If these boys are as powerful as I think, you can expect extravagant rewards for their recruitment. If you have any requests for the sects, let me know and I'll ask for you.” Master Shannon said. The Duke was extremely excited, a favor from the sects what a priceless reward! Becoming King wouldn't be impossible. However, he wasn't ambitious in that way and was satisfied with his position.

”My son isn't gifted in martial arts but is a genius at crafting mechanical mechanisms. He has always dreamed of attending the Cosmic Mechanics and Stellar Engineering Academy. Unfortunately, we lack the money and connections, and he lacks the cultivation to get in. I wonder if the sects could help?” The Duke asked.

”I think even a Supreme Sect might be eager to take these boys in. Your son's dream might be possible. Of course, that's if these boys survive this silly battle. If I were you, I would find a way to end this silly battle quickly and help those young men retreat safely from the battlefield.” Master Shannon said.

”Yes!!!” The Duke shot up from his chair and had a message sent to his Grand General. He told him, no holding back, end the battle as soon as possible and make sure those three warriors are immediately delivered safely to his tent.

The Grand General Hawkins was watching the battle and was really enjoying the work of General Tower and his two comrades. Tower had always been gifted in tactics and fighting. Watching him now it was as if he was watching an artist perform. He had never seen Tower being so incredible.

As he was contemplating these things, he received an urgent communication from the Duke. General Hawkins was surprised. The Duke rarely ever showed interest in these battles. He read the orders from the General and was momentarily confused. He looked over to the Duke's tent and saw Master Shannon sitting next to the Duke.

Now it made sense! Even he had been thinking about how to incorporate those three men into his army and fast track them up. He even considered sending them to the Royal War Academy for training. It looks like his little kingdom wasn't blessed with such an opportunity. However,he knew that if things went well, the Duke would be receiving some blessings very soon.

The General saved a little maneuver he came up with to use against the enemy if he ever became desperate or needed a quick win He never knew he would use the maneuver in a battle they were going to win even if he did nothing. Orders were orders, and he had his to carry out. Even if he was reluctant.

There was suddenly a great eruption of shouting coming from the troops. The chaos before now intensified many times over! Grand General Hawkins was confused about what was going on. It seemed like something good happened. His men seemed ecstatic.

”Marshal, find out what's going on,” ordered General Hawkins.

After a couple of minutes, Marshal came back in beaming with excitement.

”General, it's unbelievable! General Tower and the Gun brothers have killed the enemies Command staff, including their Grand General. Right now, they're rushing towards the nobles tent and are hunting Duke Vaegle!” Marshal shouted in excitement.

Grand General Hawkins was immediately excited. ”Tower, I knew to ask you to join was the right thing to do!” General Hawkins thought, but suddenly, he recalled something.

”Shig, someone, go grab those craze shpajits!” General Hawkins roared.

”But General, if they pull this off then we'll earn untold wealth and fame!” one of the General's lieutenants argued.

”If they get themselves killed all of us will be executed. You still want to argue with me or do you want to follow your orders?!!!” General Hawkins screamed.
