David immediate rushed into the room after he sensed the overwhelming pressure that was released out of the room. David looked at Michael and grinned.
"Congratulations, Michael or should I now say, Shadow King?"
"En." Michael smiled before asking David.
"What happened while I was unconscious?"
"Nothing much happened, but we managed to get some good items after opening the crystal drops."
David used his identification skill on Michael and he was awestruck at what he saw. "No wonder the successors of the shadow king always make a comeback." He sighed before going outside and called Michael"s parents.
A few seconds later, 4 people arrived in the room. Michele teared up as she said. "I thought I was gonna lose you like your elder brother.
While Brawn was in a better emotional condition, he grinned. "Strength is a man"s best friend and companion."
Xiao Yao was silent but Xiao Che whispered before suddenly shouting. "Thankfully you did not die BECAUSE we brothers must live on together and rule as kings."
Someone suddenly burst out laughing and everyone followed.
----------
Two hours had pa.s.sed after they had talked. David had already finished his daily 2 hour cultivation period which increased his cultivation points to 20%.
He asked a person near his cabin to call Michael, Xiao brothers and General Tullius to the Village hall because he remembered something good.
Minutes later, The 4 brothers and a middle-aged man were inside the village hall sitting down in a circular table.
"I have discovered a portal around 4.5 kilometers away from the village, it is a dungeon, albeit a low-level one but it is a large scale dungeon." David told the group.
"Dungeons and Dragons? Are those the ones that are the same in the game? Fight monsters and Loot Epic loot?" Asked Xiao Che hastily.
"Yes, but no dragons at least not yet, you would also need to remove the epic beside the loot to properly describe this dungeon." Michael replied before David opened his mouth.
"How are you so informed about this." Xiao Che softly muttered, Michael heard it but he had acted as if he did not hear it.
"This dungeon only has a simple requirement as it only allows profession users to enter but it only allows those of stage 3 below to enter and has a maximum of 250 people inside. Those who does meet the requirement cannot enter and if the number of people exceeds 250 the dungeon will forcefully evict people until the current number is 250." David continued.
"So what you mean is that we would need to let the people have a profession change?" Tullius answered after he thought about it for a while.
"Right, but the problem is the people itself. We would not know if they would cause trouble." David sighed.
"It would be better if you would profession change those who were under me before because discipline is already engraved in their bones." Tullius voiced out his proposal.
"We could do that but they would need to properly familiarize with their weapons first before going to the dungeon." David accepted Tullius"s proposal to profession change his soldiers.
"Michael, you will be in charge of letting the rogue profession soldiers familiarize themselves with their profession. Che, you will be in charge of the battle and tank aligned warrior profession soldiers. Yao, you will be in charge of the archer profession soldiers. I would also help the mage and priest professions. Remember that rewards will be given to those who are exceptional during this training and punishment would be given to those who are making trouble."
David walked in front of Tullius and said.
"I, David Ombra, Leader of Fallen Leaves village appoint thee as the Vice-commander of the Virtuous Leaf Army."
The moment David finished his sentence a new t.i.tle has been added to Tullius"s status panel.
Name: Tullius Ivanovic Bradley Mccoy
Village: Fallen Leaves Village
t.i.tles: Vice-Commander of Virtuous Leaf Army
"Thank you for granting me the position of commander I will do my best not to disappoint you, Dav-... Village... Leader." Tullius stuttered as it was his first time calling David"s t.i.tle then he bowed down.
David nodded and told the 4 people. "After the training of the new profession users, each one of us would command a squad of profession users. Michael, Che, and Yao, each of you will have 9 Warriors, 9 Rogues, 9 Mages, 9 Archers, and 4 Priests, while Tullius will have 12 Warriors, 13 Archers, 13 Mages, 13 Rogues, and 4 Priests. I myself will command 9 Warriors, 9 Archers, 9 Mages, 9 Rogues, and 3 Priests."
Tullius then asked. "What are the primary objectives of the squad?
"I am thinking that the 4 squads would be a.s.signed to clear out wandering Evolved beasts and Zombies in each direction of the village. While Me and my squad will go deeper into the forest and act as guerilla soldiers." David replied.
"Who would be a.s.signed to protect the village?" Michael commented.
Everyone including David was silent for a while before Tullius said something. "How about having a cycle on who would protect the Village. One of the squads excluding Village leader"s squad would stay back and protect the village while the 3 Squads will continue their clearing of unwanted visitors in their a.s.signed locations."
"GREAT IDEA, Old Man! Wisdom indeed comes with age." Xiao Che"s big a.s.s voice was heard.
"I"m only 46 this year kiddo." Tullius coughed.
In the next 2 hours, David identified each and every soldier inside the village and wrote a note containing the names of the picked people and their designated cla.s.s after giving the note to Tullius, David gave him the permission to use the Statues. Tullius gathered up the soldiers that were chosen by David and told them to proceed to the statues near the Village Hall.
The Commander slowly did the profession change so that he would not have an error in changing the profession. It had took an hour to profession change more than 190 soldiers after the soldiers changed their professions they had fully used up the 50 profession quota for each of the 4 statues and the 20 profession quota of the priest.
When the people nearby saw the profession change of the soldiers it made the spectators envious of the soldier"s newly received powers. Tullius saw their expressions and told David about it, David sighed and stepped up and said. "You people will soon have the chance to be like the soldiers, for now, the remaining quotas are only enough for these soldiers to receive their professions."
David gathered up the newly changed soldiers in an empty ground near the Statues. He pointed at each location where the soldiers would go.
"Every cla.s.s will have a trainer. Warriors profession users, your trainer will be Xiao Che. Archer profession users, your trainer is Xiao Yao. Rogue profession users, your trainer is Michael and those of Mage and Priest profession follow me."
-------
The Mage and Priest soldiers followed David to an empty land near the walls of the village. David scanned each and everyone one of the
"First and foremost, the most important thing that you should know is your skills. Did you saw the blue panel appearing in front of you when you changed profession that disappeared a moment later?"
"That was called the [Status Panel], it contains your stats, your talents and especially your skills. Say " Status" in your mind and that blue panel will appear in front of you once more."
"Look at your skills down below, it should contain 3 skills. Meditation, Magic Missile, and a random magic skill."
David finished his lecture 30 minutes later, his lecture included the meaning of Stats and their uses. then he proceeded to the hands-on activity which is the casting of spells.
"Casting of spells only requires you to visualize the magic circle or circles required to cast your spell. The magic circle is already imprinted in your mind when you learn a spell, some spells have 2 or more magic circles which makes it harder to be visualized. For example, the [Magic Missile] skill has only a single magic circle so in this situation you only need to visualize the magic circle for the spell to be cast." David said as he fired a [Magic Missile] on a tree causing it to have a big ball-sized hole in its trunk.
"This is the same for priests so there is no way that you can say it"s unfair. I will give each of you a task. All mages will need to fire 10 Magic Missiles on the Wall over there. No need to worry because the wall is 4 times more durable than you."
"While you priests should cast 10 healing spells on the Mages. Do not try to act like you have already finished the task because I would know who lied and who did not."
The entire training finished when it was almost 6 pm because some of the soldiers haven"t finished their tasks, the training was considered good because no one lied or they just don"t have the b.a.l.l.s to lie.
When they returned to the empty ground near the statues, they had also seen that the 3 other groups had also finished their training.
"There will be 5 teams led by Me, Michael, Xiao Che, Xiao Yao, and Tullius. The members would be picked by the leaders. I would go first to picking my members." When David said this many of the soldiers looked at him with pleading eyes hoping to be picked.
He picked every 9 of each profession and 3 priests that have the proper skills for his team as a guerilla team which would act as a scout to discover the unknown locations nearby and far away from the village. After picking he also helped the other 4 to pick their members which suited them the most.
Soon enough, 4 groups with 50 people and a 5th group that had more than 50 people.
"Tomorrow we will clear out the roaming evolved beasts and zombies near our village. So remember to meditate and to level your cultivation stage. Sleep well."
