Silverfall Army

Travelling on these country roads made me realize that this kingdom is beautiful. The landscape and mountain ranges across the distance are majestic. It truly highlights the beauty of a countryside free from the horrors of the battlefield.

I travelled across the Grievoi plains, named after a mystical dragon that supposedly existed during the age of Gods, and was said to have been slain by "kaldrov", the God of war in this world. It makes me laugh, as I was unable to battle this man, and fuels my desire to conquer all those hailed as supreme.

For its small size on the map this kingdom is quite massive, it fills me with excitement when I try to imagine how the rest of this continent looks like, it also makes me wonder how strong the people of this world are. It seems things will get quite interesting.

After 2 days of travel, I finally arrived at my destination. Lymberg city is run by Marquess Richard Oliver Lymberg, it is not only a business hub but also a strategic point when planning invasions against other kingdoms.

The city is filled with a bustling atmosphere and there are a lot of street vendors that try to make ends meet by selling their products. I don't know if it's my scent, but I seem to be gaining a lot of attention as I move through the streets of lymberg.

I then entered a tavern, the atmosphere fell silent as I walked towards an empty table and took a seat. Furthermore, I have no idea about the current events taking place in this world, so the only way to gain information is by eavesdropping on the conversations of others.

As I was listening, an interesting conversation occurred between three men who seemed to look like soldiers. I paid close attention to what they spoke about.

Soldier 1:" Did you hear the rumors, it seems the Silverfall kingdom is going to war with the kingdom of Verdantia."

Soldier 2:" Isn't that the military kingdom That shares a border with us."

Soldier 3:" Not only that, it seems the silverfall army is currently conducting a tournament to determine the leader of the Iron clad division."

Soldier 2:" I noticed people from different places registering themselves for the tournament."

The tournament had already piqued my interest, i then stood up and approached them. "How do I register" I smiled while looking down on them like an eagle staring at its prey.

" You look strong, to register you have to go to the city square where you'll find a long line of warriors such as yourself." Said the first soldier.

I nodded and proceeded towards the city square, where I would find a maiden waiting for more competitors. "Is this where one would enlist for the army." I asked while gazing at her.

" Y-Y-Yes t-this is the place for enlistment." Said the maiden with fear in her voice.

"I would like to enlist in this kingdom's army." While looking down on the paper, she wrote on.

"Ah yes, may I get your name please." Asked the maiden.

Even though I possess the body of Zeke, I am still the man known as Ragar at heart, and I want the world to know of my name.

" My name is Ragar Jin Alexander." I responded with a smile on my face.

" Would you also like to participate in the tournament?" Asked the maiden.

"Of course, where is it being held." Keeping my gaze upon her.

"You're in luck, the tournament is about to begin at noon at the army barracks." Said the maiden while smiling.

I thanked her while calling the horse and travelled to the barracks. My blood began boiling, my thirst for battle became larger and I was excited to see how the warriors would entertain me, a man who has trained this body with the God of blood and Warfare techniques for three years until I reached the peak of strength.

I arrived at the army barracks and stood among a hundred other applicants, most looked like your average soldier, with some specialized in ranged weapons and some wielding long swords and iron maces.

A man looked at us from the wall, it seemed I was the only one who noticed him as we both made eye contact for a while, it was like staring at a bear, his aura was massive, but I was a bit disappointed because what's a bear compared to a DRAGON!!!!

He soon fell back, and the other soldiers wondered why he looked so frightened, they all noticed me and the looks of fear on their faces gave me strength. I strive off the fear of enemies.

He stood up and announced the tournament wouldn't be a real tournament but a battle royal, and only the last man standing would win as of this point.

The warriors were all shocked, and before they could find their opponents, I cut down the first warrior who moved. I then cut down five warriors every time I took a step, the warriors tried their best to shield themselves and soon they surrounded me, if it were anyone else, they would have succeeded, however, they were facing ME!

God of Warfare sword techniques accompanied by sheer raw strength resulted in a sight the commanders overseeing the battle royal had never seen before. Total dominance on the battlefield. While they were filled with fear, they were also filled with excitement, the excitement of having someone on their side that could turn the tides of war just by their appearance on the battlefield.

A total of one hundred and fifty strong appeared for the opportunity to acquire the position of commander, but at the end of the day, only one man remained standing as the blood of the warriors who were barely breathing covered the battlefield, and that man was me.

Not only the commanders, but even the soldiers who came to see the battle were shocked.

I then shouted:" As you can see, I am the last man remaining!"

"BRILLIANT! Absolutely brilliant." Shouted a man who wore fancy clothes, seemed as if he was a noble.

"MY LORD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Shouted one the commanders who was overseeing this event.

"Young man, I would like to have a word with you." Said the noble with a smile on his face.

He then proceeded to leave the place while telling the commanders to bring the wounded warriors physicians.

One commander approached me and directed me to a different location. It was there that I saw the same noble again. This time he was surrounded by other soldiers. However, these soldiers didn't look like the regular one's outside.

"My name is Marquess Richard Oliver Lymberg, current head of house Lymberg and the ruler of Lymberg city."

I smiled and released a large aura which left everyone alert. "I am Ragar Jin Alexander, my origin is not important, however, the glory I can bring this kingdom is large."

" Ragar Jin Alexander huh." Said one of the commanders. "We have no need for your background, but we have need for your power, we are willing to make you the commander of the iron clad division, we are also willing to provide additional benefits such as a piece of land in the Lymberg territory and a large salary or 1000 gold every month. In return, we would like you to fight for this kingdom."

The commanders then went down on one knee." We sincerely require your assistance and guarantee the best treatment for you, Sir Alexander."

"We have no one in our military that displays the same amount of strength as you. We are a weak kingdom, even the kings guard is not so strong, but we have hope that maybe we can turn the fate of this kingdom into something positive, therefore please accept this position." Said Marquess Lymberg.

This sensation brings back the memories of my past life, the feeling of being needed, the feeling of hope people have towards you. There are many kingdoms on this continent, and I aspire to one day rule an empire, if this kingdom is a stepping stone, I'll make sure to use it.

While smiling I replied," I will gladly take on this position my lord, and fellow commanders. "

They all had a feeling of relief and excitement. They finally had a strong commander who improved their military power, and someone that could turn the grim fate of this dying kingdom around.

I, on the other hand, was happy to set a foothold in this kingdom.
