Chapter 748: Hidden strength (2)

While fiddling with the shards of the broken weapon and reminiscing about the past, Duke Runak continued to explain the true situation of the War Ursa Battalion to the young Frost.

"For years and years we have accumulated an uncountable number of refined gems."

He placed the broken weapon back onto its pedestal. The former owner was once one of these so called gems.

"These elite soldiers are the true bastion that stands between the monstrous nations of the Glacial mountains and the sapient lands directly south." Duke Runak slowly turned his head, revealing a playful smirk and an unmasked pride.

"The War Ursa Battalion that you experienced today is nothing but the outer shell, inexperienced whelps in need of a good grinding." An air of brutality and bloodlust naturally oozed out of him as he spoke.

Those in the military were not soft by any means, they would gladly sacrifice the few for the benefit of the many.
