Chapter 71: Sapling Legion_3

The Coliseum was just a minor interlude, it was the freshly minted Magical Beast Legion that he was focused on.

There were two hundred and seventy-three Magical Beast Knights in his territory, but only one hundred and sixty could be incorporated into the Magical Beast Legion. The rest held important positions in various departments. The gap to a full complement of three hundred was still quite significant.

Even more troubling was that, among these one hundred and sixty Magical Beast Knights, over ninety had Magical Beasts that were still juveniles.

Before they could truly form a combat force, he would have to wait for the Magical Beasts to mature. There was an estimated year to go, and although the process could be accelerated, he was mainly worried about attracting outside attention.

So many Magical Beasts maturing early would be impossible to keep secret. Once the rate of maturation exceeded common knowledge and acceptance, it was bound to bring a lot of trouble.
