The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 630

Chapter 630 Cerro Show

"Why are you going so far from the training ground?" The Sergeant asked as Karl began to herd the freshly fed Cerro herd away from the others.

"Do you think that four baby Cerro frolicking in the grass will be productive for the other trainees? If everyone is watching them, who will be training?" Karl laughed.

One of the Cerro rammed into Karl's leg and bounced off, bringing laughter from the soldiers on the sand behind them, as if to prove his point.

"Ah, I overlooked the human factor. I will have one of my Corporals wait nearby in case you need anything."

Karl shook his head. "No need to pull someone from their training. I'm just going to go out off sight behind the bleachers. That's far enough that we can train, and I can still hear the others in case of trouble. You never know what might happen with new Elites trying skills that they haven't fully mastered. Things can go wrong, and I'm pretty good at sorting out wayward troublemakers."

[Or you just want to be close enough to watch it all go down.] Cara added.

[I can jump onto the bleachers from here. It will be a great view.] Thor laughed quietly at the pair as he prepared his warriors for their training. Sitting on the bleachers would give a much better view, but he had trainees of his own to work on, and Ophelia was going to be working with the Rangers today. Instead, he had a pair of Remi's bodyguards to help with the one-on-one training. They had four arms, and four swords, so they could keep constant pressure on the warriors as if they were fighting multiple targets.

When Karl had the smashing poles erected and the orders given to the Cerro Hatchlings, all of the excess spectators moved away from the training grounds, leaving the rest of the group to train in peace, while Karl barked orders like a herding dog and kept the procession moving.

Then, he got a great idea. He could give them a competition, to get to a specific pole as fast as possible when he called the number.

Not only would it help them burn energy from the feed that Thor had given them, but it would help develop their tactical thinking as they worked to be the fastest.

Karl jumped on top of one of the pillars.

"Everyone, attack the pillar that I am on." He called to the four eager Cerro.

A tiny stampede started as they all rushed at the same time, tripping over each other to be the first to hit the pole.

"No, you have to actually reach the pole. Again." Karl called as he hopped to another.

The second attempt was a bit better, but still not well organized.

"You're a pack, you need to work like it. Organize your charge to hit multiple spots on the pole, then peel off for the second rank to strike. Again."

Over and over, the Cerro pack worked to better their coordination.

By the time that lunch rolled around, they were actually getting good at it, and Karl was having fun making them run around for the crowd as they learned to coordinate an attack that looked much more like scaly puppies running into posts.
