69 – Preparations

It had been almost ten days since my last visit to Nueridge. I flew out of the base, landing on the trees of the forest that had been cut down. My ears heard many heavy footsteps.

"Come on, this is nothing, guys!" Garthur shouted at about thirty minotaurs who were running in front of him. "Don't be pussies! This is for your stamina! You don't want to die from exhaustion on the battlefield, do you!?"

It seemed the group had been running for quite a while. Most of them looked exhausted, even sticking out their tongues, except for Garthur.

Ritor, who was leading the group, still looked strong too. He can even let out a thunderous shout. "Pay respects to Lord Vorn!!!"

"Good morning, Lord Vorn!" They greeted me in unison.

"I can't hear you!!!"

"Good morning, Lord Vorn!!!"

I waved to them. "Don't stop! Just keep going!"

"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!!!"

In my wildest dreams, I would never have guessed that I could have an army of creatures with such gigantic and formidable-looking bodies.
