Chapter 20 At that moment, Logan could feel that he had advanced to a new level. A second core, revolving around the one he already possessed, had formed. He immediately knew that the two cores were intricately connected, more than anything else. The force that used to flow directly from the core to his body was now amplified twofold in an instant as it passed through the second core. Woong. The sudden surge of power nearly made his body tremble. Moreover, he could sense that the quality of the force had grown as well. It had become stickier and denser, giving him confidence in its efficiency beyond a mere quantitative increase. Additionally, achieving a dual-core signified that he was ready to learn the next secret technique of his martial heritage. Iron Splitter, Dan Geum Cham Just thinking about the power of the first technique, he was certain that the second would far exceed his expectations. If he could master that technique before the war, even advanced knights would pose no fear to him. His elated consciousness naturally brought the secret techniques to his mind, and from then on, his research, which lasted until dawns light greeted his closed eyes, did not cease. Mm As expected, its not easy. Despite the disappointment in his words, Logans expression was not too dark. It had taken three months to master the Wave Splitter, the first technique. With patient effort, mastering the second before the war seemed entirely possible. Just as Logan was contentedly enjoying the new morning sunlight, someone knocked on his door before he fully relished the quiet. Come in. My lord, did you sleep well last night? The one who entered with a snicker was Rick. Whenever Logan saw that face with such a smile, he knew Theres a problem again, isnt there? Eh, a problem? If that were the case, I wouldnt be smiling, right? You only have that expression when theres a problem for me but something fun for you. Ha Haha, my lord is joking So, nothing serious then? Im off to training? The family head has requested your presence for a meal! The whole family! Logan was about to head for the door when Rick shouted abruptly, making him grab the boys cheek mercilessly. Hey, trouble! What trickery is this? Ahh! It really hurts! Whats so troublesome about having a meal with the family? Its the first time since you ran away! Thats only in a typical family relation We always had breakfast together until a few years ago! Oh? Now that he thought about it, that did seem true. Thats right. There were times like that. Distracted by memories flashing through his mind, Rick didnt give him a moment to get sentimental. Hurry up, theyre waiting for you. If you were training, interrupt; if you were sleeping, wake up anyway. Now? Why? What are you talking about! Today is your birthday! And the twentieth at that! Ah! Ah, what? You should hurry! Sighing deeply, Logan exhaled a breath. * * * Among the aristocratic families of the empire, some celebrated the coming of age with lavish parties, but this practice was far removed from the Grandia Kingdoms Maclaine family. It was customary for the occasionally separated family members to gather and celebrate over a meal. To Logan, however, even this small tradition was nothing but a nuisance. I should be able to ignore such minor customs. Thinking from the perspective of the birthday person himself, it was an absurd notion, but given the current mood, anyone could understand. Discounting the greetings to his father and stepmother before the meal Youre of age now. Yes. This was essentially the only conversation during the meal. Ill just eat quickly and leave. With that thought, Logan swallowed the dessert on his plate in one gulp. I have eaten well. Then, I Sit down.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only Yes. But even leaving this uncomfortable place was not up to him. Watching Logans annoyed expression, Patrick, who also finished his dessert in one go, opened his mouth. If tradition is followed, they will set out one week after the declaration of war. The distance from the enemys fortress to ours is three days march We have fewer soldiers, so a defensive strategy should be First, issue a conscription decree. Gather as much force as possible, set up defenses, patrol No, we must send emissaries first Amidst the chaos, not typical of aristocratic meetings, the chamber was filled with uproar. With a scowl, Patrick, who was watching this confusion, suddenly stomped his foot. Bang! Silence, everyone! His thunderous voice silenced the noisy assembly. Even if the royal authority isnt as it used to be, these people have declared war without royal permission. This is clearly a deliberate act. To those who are speaking of trucedo you really think before speaking? His stern look swept across the chamber, and those who had been voicing opinions of sending emissaries and seeking peace all shut their mouths. With a stern rebuke, the lord who steered the familys opinion toward war continued to shout. Everyone prepare for war! And speak of strategies for victory! All other opinions will not be tolerated! Abruptly defined in direction, the vassals opinions quickly organized. Conscription will take place over three days The soldiers weapons and armor Knights training As preparations and organization for war were set in motion, opinions concerning Logan began to surface. Will the young lords join the battle? It was obvious for the force-using brothers. Now that I think about it, the eldest son trains with the knights. Will the young lords join the knightly ranks? It was the Maclaine family, long descended from knights, though now fallen. For them, it was only natural for the familys direct descendants, now of age, to participate in combat. At that suggestion, Patrick nodded without hesitation. My sons will also join the battle. Especially Logan, who has come of age, should fulfill a role befitting him. Logan didnt object, and so his deployment was confirmed. However, there was a bit of an issue with his role. I heard your mercenaries are training for cavalry, is that correct? Thats right. A well-trained cavalry can be considered the equivalent of at least three infantrymen. Can your mercenaries take on that role? Absolutely. At Dwaynes words, Logan responded with a confident smile. However, very few truly believed him. At least its better than nothing. Perhaps the young lords toy soldiers might actually be useful. Doubtful. Theyre just lowly mercenaries. Theyll probably run at the first sign of trouble. The disparagement towards Logan extended to his mercenaries, and those who had never seen their training denounced them with unanimously negative opinions. Logan steadfastly presented his argument without wavering. Father. My mercenaries will not just replace three infantrymen, but ten. We have been training in unison for several months, so please allow us to operate as a separate detachment. Are you saying you wont follow the familys command? It would be more helpful to the overall military power if we act separately. Thats fine. Permission granted. The approval came too easily. Probably because the mercenaries were not considered a substantial military asset. For whatever reason, it was good news for Logan. Thank you. Still, not everything went according to plan. However, you will assign someone else to command them. You will join the knights. Excuse me?
