Master Of None Chapter 470 - 470. Generals

Wade was leading them down a separate road off of the market area. "Are you sure we aren't going to walk down that street? It looked like a nice market to explore." Scylla had a slight interest in the items made with elental mana crystals that she had not seen before. Sadly it was not the direction that Wade needed them to go.

"Oh, you would love the water spikes they have. They are made from water elental mana crystals and when placed in the ground cause the water in the air to rest in the soil. It would help very well with gardening, especially in the hot months." Walker said this mostly to pique Scylla's interest. He also wanted to have sothing that would make him want to negotiate more. It was the start of his base for the politics talks later on.

"Really? They even have important things like that here? I am sure it must cost a hefty amount of gold to create." Scylla could only see such a useful item as sothing that would be expensive. She had many of the sa thoughts that Walker had had when he first heard of the water spikes.

"They are surprisingly low priced. Here they are a common item since they do not trade. I believe there are so other items that would really impress you as well." Walker gave her the small hint making Scylla want to abandon the thought of the training area entirely.

Yet, as they started to co in to view of a round open space with stairs that led downward Scylla beca interested in battle once again. "This is the entrance to the underground area for training. We need to keep it underground so that we can regrow the necessary obstacles and safety vines." Wade made a lot of sense explaining this.

"I can only imagine how often you need to rep[air things. The elental archers I use can destroy decent chunks of any sparring area." Scylla listened intently since she had not seen these elental arrows in person. She had read up on them and knew that they held a lot of power but other than that she was completely lost to how they worked and even how they were made.

"Will I be able to see the elental arrows in use here? They sound like a formidable attack to deal with." Scylla was pushing for more but Gil was just smiling like a fool. He had not had many people interested in his own skills because of Walker. But now he was going to revel in the attention.

"Yes. The enforcers have many that have different systems. They mostly have archery based systems but lately, there have been many spell swords that have been participating in the joint training. That was all due to Walker and the crystal swords he helped to make." Wade casually brought up the crystal swords which again attracted Scylla's attention.

"The more I listen the more I am surprised by what you are capable of. You can also craft weapons that can be used in real battles at such a young age. You know that a blacksmith at your age would still be making the most basic weapons with the most basic materials. I believe even the ones that advance past the basics only do so because they have higher tier systems."

"I feel like you could stay here all day and still be trying to get more information on battle. Are you sure you are not so form of librarian or archivist system user?" Walker made the joke and laughed a little. Scylla just smiled while shaking her head.

"I wish I had such abilities. They would make my job as one of the generals much easier I happen to have a knack for rembering things and go out of my way to learn these things. I am normally the general in charge of the front line battles." Walker and Gil were now the curious ones. They had not inquired about the exact reason for the four generals in the demi-human kingdom and saw that this might be the best chance to learn.

"Can I ask what the other general would do? I don't know much and I don't an to pry." Gil was the one to beat Walker to the question. Alma was also listening intently since she had been fairly silent. Wade was less caring about this since he just wanted to get everyone where they wanted to go. He had a feeling that the training with the enforcers was going to be incredibly interesting today.

"Oh, it is not prying at all. I thought you already knew. I am the general of the front. I will lead war efforts and be the one to make orders on the ground. I have a counter part nad..well you might et him one day. But he is the general of the back and he does all of the large planning. He will direct the army as a whole. I do not just take his orders but I make his strategy possible."

This sounded like a good balance for an army to have. Without a general at the front then there would not be a proper communication to the leaders. It also took the stress of the planning general with one person at the front. This was because the general at the front could give orders while the general at the back ford plans. Ideally, the general at the back would be able to send a plan when the general in the front needed help. It was a balance.

"I see how the general of the front and the general of the back can work equally. But what are the jobs of the other two if not war?" Walker was now more invested in this conversation than before. This was his first real learning experience with how a kingdom would properly divide it's general and higher ranking officials.
