The camps were bustling as many of the recruits joked and laughed, the sounds of chatter filling the air.
While the human camp had many large dining halls, Aurora had thought it best that they have dinner outside for the first night.
The other races had chosen to do the same. While it was far from bridging the differences between them, there was still a sense of camaraderie seeing different campfires lit across the forest.
As the campfires burned into the night, Aurora, who had been with the other Ravensteins, finally excused herself and walked away from the camp and into the forest. Many saw her, but none followed.
After moving a significant distance away from camp, Aurora came to a stop as she heard a familiar voice.
"You need to try smiling more often."
Aurora’s head snapped toward the source of the voice.
She snorted the moment she saw who it was.
"I’ll do that when you stop dumping your responsibilities on me."
Atticus opened his mouth, then closed it.
Then opened it again.
But no words came out.
A moment later, he sighed in defeat. "Fine, fine." He shoved his hands into his pockets. "So, how’s it going?"
Aurora crossed her arms, tilting her head slightly.
"Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m a born leader! It’s going perfectly."
Atticus rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath, "And she pretends not to like it…"
"What did you just say?"
Atticus cleared his throat. "Nothing."
"Better."
A brief silence settled between them, the distant crackling of campfires filling the night air. Experience more tales on freewebnovel
Then, Aurora’s expression turned serious.
"So, how do you want it?"
Atticus paused, thinking for a moment.
Then, his tone shifted, analytical.
"Each race is already divided into different divisions, and I want to leave them like that. Each division has roughly one thousand members, and they will now be called Legions."
Aurora nodded, absorbing his words.
"Each of these races’ Legions will collectively form a Battalion."
"I’ll leave the choice of Battalion leaders to you. Pick the ones who can command respect. You don’t need to like them, just make sure they’re competent."
Aurora nodded again.
Atticus went on.
"Now, for the army arrangements, we need to tailor each Battalion to their natural strengths."
He raised a hand, ticking off each race.
"The elves are best suited as rangers. They’ll handle long-range attacks, scouting, and maneuver warfare."
"The dwarves will be in charge of construction, weapons maintenance, and heavy infantry. They’re sturdy and disciplined."
"The angel Battalion will focus on aerial combat and control. Their ability to fly gives them the best vantage points."
"The demon Battalion are our frontliners. They have sturdy bodies, enhanced regeneration, and superior strength. They’ll take the brunt of direct engagements."
Aurora listened intently, taking it all in.
"Each Battalion will focus on these aspects, specialization over generalization."
Atticus’s tone shifted slightly, colder now.
"But right now, the most important thing is ensuring they follow your orders. No matter how absurd they may sound."
"If there’s anything you’re good at, it’s annoying people." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
