CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3

Luke drank the orange juice and ate the boar meat that was cooked. General Fudo was sitting in front of him. As both of them ate, Fudo kept talking about the sad fact that his children were eaten. Luke really could not accept such things and asked the General, "Do they really eat people?"

Fudo spoke in sadness, "I have seen people like you who have stayed in the interior. You will rarely face any problem and at most will face some out-of-control animals. Many of them started thinking with compassion and will not fight seriously till they get injured for lifetime or die. I will take you to see them."

Luke sighed and said, "There is no need for that."

Fudo said, "You are stronger than me and as long as you have enough commanding talent you can become a general. You should not lose your life. Take this blade. This is one of the blades inherited form the kingdom."

Luke took the blade and kept it in his hand. He was happy to find that the blade was something similar to the blade given by the village chief to cut the weapon to the necessary shape. He asked Fudo, "What is this thing? Why don't we make this blade into a weapon?"

Fudo smiled and said, "This is inherited by the kings and the royal lands. From thousands of stones a few may form such a blade. Make sure that it is kept safe. The time to make the handle for the blade is two hundred years and it was grinded to this shape day by day. How long will it take to make a big knife like yours."

Luke smiled and said, "it is known as a sword."

Fudo smiled and said, "It is a good name."

Luke thought about the different powers of the world. He smiled and returned to his room. The time had come to the end of day and he and Fudo went to the gate. He and Fudo walked instead of riding the mount. They walked and entered the forest. He was able to see different groups of people and them gathering together. It was interesting to see that they were indeed something akin to red skinned. He saw different groups and found that there was no cannibalism. Fudo was happy to see that no human was caught as there would be no more loss from their sides. While they were seeing from farther away, he saw that one of the children of the tribe was beaten down and killed. The raw flesh was eaten and all the tribe shared the food. Luke nearly retched and ran back. He did not want to stay with such savages. Eating other people can still be understood from the point of culture but eating their own children cannot be accommodated. They should be killed.

Fudo followed Luke and covered the mouths of Luke. The sound should not be made. Luke finally controlled his body. He had absolute control over his body. He got angry and returned to the fort with Fudo. He asked Fudo, "When is the next attack?"

Fudo smiled and said, "They attack every often. We used to think that they were humans like us. They only need ten months like us humans to give birth but the children grow up in five years. You should understand that the population shift is a huge problem. The kingdom is always in peril. Either we will be wiped out or we will have to continue fighting."

Luke could only sigh and return back to room. The kingdom had a huge wall covering from the other side. He was sure that the kingdom should have bled to make the wall. Humanity is often seen in inheritance. Sometime species needs to be exterminated. Like the Neanderthals that was killed to the last ones, it would be better if they die.

Luke bought a huge block of wood and started carving out of fun. He found that people the carving skill was added to the skill bar. He was happy to make some figurines. He found that there was no money in this world and bartering still continued. This country is still primitive. He thought of introducing some currency, but metals like gold is not considered important here as life is the most important. He smiled and thought about creating a bow and arrow. There was a weapon that could be used to blow through the pipe using the needle type thing.

Sometime invention is nothing more that using the things that we could seen in the world. The known things could be bought together and make something new. The wood was too strong to be bend and those wood could not be used. There should be some plant fibres that were elastic in this world. He decided not to do so. The numbers at the other side was already high. He could spread some martial arts and some army training methods. The ideas of formations cannot be copied by the brutes. Something like bow and arrow would be easy if made to replicate. If the savages make the bow and arrow, his kingdom would be destroyed.

Luke stood at the top of the wall and looked at the savages trying to climb the wall. He could see that they were spreading from many sides. He thought about making a moat and redirecting some rivers to fill with water but he did not know the map of the place. He could only do something that is more useful. He decided to fight off the war. He jumped to the ground. The other warriors shouted and he waved back at them. All the savages kept attacking him and he kept on killing them. He kept moving from side to side and kept killing each savage. The fastest weapon to kill in a war is the sword and the dance with the sword was something that other people could not imitate. The power of his body was strong enough to cut them off in a single blade. The unlimited stamina made him use the power to his content. He created an extreme killing martial arts and each one of his move was acted with his full energy. The filling energy of his body and the using of his energy made his fight the strongest. The body was getting tired and damaged due to excessive exercise and due to the higher bloodline, his body was getting healed. His bloodline was increasing.

Luke kept advancing and everywhere Luke went the people were cut down. People at the war could only sell slashes that was advancing to other the forest and running towards the savages. He wanted to kill all the savages.

Luke returned after the war. He had killed nearly three thousand people. He entered the room and was very angry. It took a lot of time to kill the savages. He smiled and decided to enter the forest. The savages also had the strong and he decided to fight them at their homeland. He was granted the position of the general due to his accomplishment. He got a red ring that could speed up the healing process. He could not understand the world. He had to understand the secrets before he could fight properly. He decided to fight for a few days and make some achievements and decided to go to the royal capital. He has to understand the truth.

Most of the times the war did not lead to much death as the weapons were mostly blunt and the people had higher healing power. The coming of Luke broke the balance and the fact that he had killed more than twenty thousand soldiers was more than enough to let them retreat for a long time. The number of savages seems different and he could feel some terror in their numbers. The number of the savages were different from the kingdoms soldiers as each savages, even the children were soldiers.

Luke entered the capital. He was riding the wolf and had a red ring. He smiled and entered the bigger house. It seems that the king did not have much luxurious life. He smiled and entered the house. The king and the ministers were fighting on different topics. Luke entered and looked at the king. The king smiled and hugged Luke. He was seven foot tall and he was really muscular for a king. King roger smiled and said, "Welcome to my humble abode, killer general."

Luke sat down at the opposite of the king among the ministers and said, "The job of the soldiers is to kill and the job of the general is to slaughter. Spread that I like the name Luke. Nothing more and nothing less. There is no need for any titles as my name Luke is more than enough to hold on to all the achievements I make."

The king smiled and asked, "What are your plans?"

Luke smiled and said, "I need some soldiers to be stationed at my village."

The king said, "Your parents will be given more food and clothes. They will be protected from harm. Is there anything else you need."

Luke said, "I want to know the truth of the world."

The king smiled and said, "Anyone above the position of the village chief can know the true history. I will tell it to myself."

Luke said, "I will be entering their forest. I will keep on killing them."

The king said, "There will be no way ensure your merit."

Luke said, "their death is more important. Such beings should not be allowed to exist."

The king smiled and said, "Sure. Let me tell you the truth. This world is a planet and is proved to be so. The planet is something akin to a ball and the sun, moon and the stars move around our planet. We are in a big land isolated by ocean from other lands. The world had magic and there were mages. The mages were strong and the civilization was strong. This land was known as Atlanta once. The magic started weakening and the wizards died out. This is the last place where there are some traces of magic and where magic could work. Only blood and soul can be used to drive magic. After some time even that will fail. The savages are the experimental products of alchemy to make humans strong in another path different from wizards. There is nothing else we can do."

Luke asked, "Is there no way to educate them?"

The king said, "Hundreds of them are kept in captivity and are forced to learn common sense. We were not even able to stop them from eating human flesh. The only way is to have a complete war."

Luke said, "I will be entering their lands and killing them one by one like the warriors of hatred."

The king said, "That is indeed a good thing. the warriors would be happy to have a general but we would like you to be alive more than anything else. We are facing the biggest crisis in existence."

Luke looked at him questioningly. The king sighed and said, "We have the crystal glass that has the power to see the outer world with the power of the blood sacrifice. The island is moving towards the continent and will reach there within ten years. The savages will have more food and they will grow in a huge number. The other kingdoms will fight us. We need a strong person like you more than anything."

Luke took the crystal and looked at the items. Now this was a real medieval society. They used horses for warfare and used iron weapons. The people fought each other and waged wars. They are so vulgar. Finally I met some real people. I have to protect myself and be ready. He decided to become stronger. He had skills and experience. He at least needs to break through the sage realm to stay alive. He decided to get some poison immunity and other immunity types skills too. The healing at that time may help him get a self-healing type skill. He decided to work harded.

Luke stood up and said, "Where was there any reason for the Bear tribe to stay away from the war? I will make sure that I will fight against them. I am leaving to fight them. I will keep killing them unless I become a sage. I will return after ten years."

The king smiled and said, "I will be waiting for you. Do you need some armours or shield?"

Luke smiled and said, "my fighting style is the extreme fighting style. Fight to the death. Kill them before they can kill me. The only move is to kill."
