9 The first generals

In a huge, extremely luxurious room, a young man who wore a slight smile on his face was seated on a throne positioned several feet high. Below him is a staircase which counted about ten steps.

You could see to his right an excessively tall figure, This person stood very straight like a statute. She was wrapped in a very deep black armor but what shocked the most was the skeletal skull which was not covered in the armor.

At the bottom of the stairs are 4 humans covered in armor except they weren't wearing helmets, they were all kneeling on the ground. These 4 people all gave off a suffocating feeling when watching.

It is an aura that they all subconsciously escape after having an extraordinary level of strength. Yet these people all wore extremely respectful faces.

From left to right we can recognize Arthur, Edward, Frédéric and Charles. Obviously the person standing on the throne is none other than William.

This scene is a now ordinary scene that has been going on regularly for over a month.

After the battle, William captured the Patriarchs and all enemy soldiers. He brought them back inside Yol all tied with strong ropes led by the 3 swordsman disciples and the rest of Yol's soldiers.

Hell the patriarchs could easily break those ropes but they all knew that the only result would be to have their heads beheaded so they were like good children not even opening their mouths and keeping their heads down while they heard the exclamations. citizens of Yol.

"I heard that the patriarch and our soldiers were facing the forces of 3 cities, how could they win? Asked an ordinary citizen filled with doubt.

"I was on the wall and it was truly amazing, the young man standing next to Artur suddenly summoned an invincible skeleton army that swept through all the enemy soldiers, then by with the help of a extraordinary skeleton he made the 3 patriarchs eat the dust. »An ordinary hunter replied proudly as if he was the one who had turned the situation on the battlefield.

"How is it possible, he is obviously not more than 18 years old!" The ordinary citizen admired.

This kind of conversation was happening all over town, and William's fame quickly spread throughout town.

William couldn't help but show his pride lightly on his face, after all he's still just a 16 year old hot-blooded young man.

Looking at William's back standing erect and proud like a chosen divine on his horse, Arthur had a very complicated expression, he himself knows that without William he and his soldiers would have met a miserable death and all of his citizens would have experienced an extremely difficult life under the joint reign of 3 patriarchs.

Half an hour later, William arrived in front of the lord's palace accompanied by Arthur, the master swordsman, the 3 prisoners and the 3 swordsmen disciples.

Suddenly the 3 disciples raised the sword towards the 3 prisoners, then made a vertical cut in their direction. The Patriarchs made their final thoughts until a few moments later they noticed that they are all still alive.

All suddenly directed their gaze to William who had turned around, their gaze full of questioning with a hint of fear.

"Pledge allegiance to me and you will obtain the strength you have always desired. »William said directly.

The 3 ex-prisoners were all very surprised but it didn't take long before they got down on their knees with a small smile hidden in front of William.

"I Edward, warrior of rank (E) submit to Divine Warrior William. "

"Me Frédéric, warrior of rank (E) submits to the Divine Warrior William. "

"I Charles, warrior of rank (E) submit myself to the Divine Warrior William. "

In this world no one dares to subdue former enemies because everyone knows that at a critical moment this kind of subordinate can suddenly turn his sword towards his master's back.

But William wasn't worried about it, he even wore a slightly confident smile.

[The skill "Soul King" has been updated]

[Detail of the skill "Soul King"]

[1st effect: Subdues the soul of the defeated opponent]

[2nd effect: Grants a system to subordinates]

Seeing the 2nd effect even William was surprised, he was already expecting something incredible but it was beyond his comprehension.

And he even began to worry that the system is his biggest secret and also his unique cultivation path, if he loses his only advantage then he will be no better than his own subordinates!

Met he received a flow of information that immediately calmed him. He will always be the strongest!

According to the system the subordinates will have access to the majority of the system but there is a price for all.

First, the King has control over life and death over all subordinates.

Second 30% of the experience gained by subordinates will be transferred to the King

Thirdly, subordinates do not have access to the class system, nor to the player's race, but they can still be resurrected as long as they are in a parallel world.

In return, the subordinates will never have a bottleneck again, they can go at will to the parallel worlds and will be endowed with the skill [Soul of a General (?)].

[Soul of a General (?): Subdue the soul of the defeated opponent. The rank of the skill corresponds to the rank of its possessor. Other features will be unlocked in the future]

To put it bluntly this skill will allow William to no longer be limited by the power of his soul and build a gigantic army by borrowing the power of the soul of his subordinates.

Apparently the army will belong to the General but the real owner will be William. In addition, generals may in the future also be given a skill lower than general according to their own rank. Yes, it is a skill that evolves according to the power of its carrier!

For now, William is limited to 7 generals: 1 general for every 10 soul power points. So in the future we can imagine the number of generals William will have.

All possessing a potential not inferior to the greatest human genius. With this skill even a cripple can become a God!

But in the end it all comes down to willpower because to become stronger with the system it is necessary to fight to the death every day to improve.

In life, the only limit is our own will.

Although it took a long time to explain William only took a fraction of a second before he understood everything. William walked slowly over to Edward then put his hand on his head.

"I, the Soul King, grant Edward, warrior of rank (E), Divine potential" Solemnly recited William

As if the heavens were reacting to William's words, the heavens instantly turned dark and a lightning flashed then rushed towards Edward's forehead.

Edward's eyes suddenly turned black. Everyone in town will be aware of the phenomenon but it is not something that William can hide for a long time so you might as well take advantage of this phenomenon to increase his own reputation and scare off enemies. A few moments later he knelt extremely respectfully towards William.

William was not at all surprised by the situation, Edward had probably received all the information from the system and therefore understood the huge opportunity that lay before him. No change in his personality or memories is necessary.

It is natural to have this expression after being stuck for over 80 years at rank (E). Besides, as long as he is loyal to William there is no problem!

William did the same to Frederick and Charles in front of Arthur's astonished eyes.

"I, the Soul King, grant Frederick, warrior of rank (E), a Divine potential" Solemnly recited William

"I, the Soul King, grant Charles, warrior of rank (E), a Divine potential" William recited solemnly.

The same situation happened again. Finally Arthur took a deep breath, his face in front firm and following his instinct he approached William then knelt down.

-Point of view Arthur-

"Me Arthur, warrior of rank (E +) submits to Divine Warrior William. »I say respectfully to William

I could see that William was slightly surprised at my pledge of allegiance. It's my biggest secret: I'm a Rank (E +) Warrior! If I wanted I could take 2 of these new generals without losing ground!

Then William slowly approached my position and I could see his hand slowly approaching my forehead.

"I, the Soul King, grant Arthur, warrior of rank (E +), a Divine potential" said William solemnly.

The sky darkened slightly but I did not notice this slight detail, a larger bolt than the previous ones formed in the sky and instantly arrived at my position. Receiving the information that was transferred to my consciousness, I am extremely surprised.

It is truly a potential that can be called Divine!

No bottleneck!

An elite army that I can train myself!

Unfortunately she does not have the characteristic of immediately regenerating like the king but she is still immortal if I only wait 24 hours!

With that I even have the capital to conquer the Northern Kingdom on my own!

I really took the best bet of my life. The King is destined to be a legend that will be passed on throughout the universe until its extinction t I would be known through the ages as the King's best general when he started out!

It is an honor that would be envied even among generals above rank (A) in the future. Rank (A)… I want to be one myself. At this thought I had the immediate desire to go train in the only parallel world unlocked for the moment: Hell.

-End from Arthur's point of view-

William noticed Arthur's firm face which is very different from the respectful expression of the other 3 generals. By this time William knew that Arthur would be one of his hugely important assets in the future.
