- Haaah - With a long yawn and slowly turning my gaze towards Sean, I began to speak

- Well, how's that progress

- What kind of business are you talking about, Master? If you are talking about negotiations with the Alliance, then things are going well so far.

- Not about that. I'm talking about building my shelter.

- It is in full swing, Master. In 2 weeks we will finish everything. The Green Alliance was happy to provide us with resources.

- That's good. To endure this state is already unbearable

Even though I can become a dragonoid and have a humanoid body, it is very inconvenient to keep such a state for a long time. It's like if an adult is stuffed into a box, even if he fits there, after a while he will still unknowingly break the box because it is not convenient to be inside. Because of this, I had to take my true form several times. To be honest, a huge body has become more familiar to me, I have already caught myself thinking several times that a humanoid form is *unnatural* for me. The maximum time I can stay in the form of a dragonoids is 2 days. A very uncomfortable two days, after which you need at least a day of rest in true form. For the first couple of hours, everything is fine, then there is a feeling that there is not enough space, and in the end I barely keep my shape, wishing with all my heart to break these shackles.

- I understand, Master, I also began to have felt as if this body is not my * natural*

I immediately looked in his direction. He's not lying, I can tell for sure.

System. Can you determine the reason for it?

"System: Your servant has started the process of turning into a dragon. He is slowly changing, and after a while, he will be able to become a dragon. The process takes from 3 to 6 years, but progress can be increased through the accumulation of XP. Destroying the body without damaging the Dragon Core will increase the required time for transformation. Core damage will increase the required time to transform"

Understandable.

- Don't worry about it. It's just the process of turning into a dragon.

- Into a dragon!? Ahem. Is this really the case? -Sean looked at me in surprise. It seems to affect their upbringing. The dragon is their great ancestor, they are their faithful servants, and so on and so forth.

- Don't doubt it. A couple of years and you will become a dragon.

- Thank you, master, for allowing me to become a dragon! -Sean bowed to me with all sincerity.

-You deserve it, Sean. This is for all your contribution to the good of your race. Accept it with honor.

- Yes!

- Well, how are the preparations for the ceremonies going?

-The preparations will be completed tomorrow at noon, and the invitations have already been sent. The ceremony will begin in three days.

- Mhm, I'm going for a walk.

- As you wish, sir. Do you need an escort?

- Well, no. I'll just walk around.

…

After leaving the main house in the city, I decided to look around and think about my own. Dragonoids are very loyal and will never betray, however, they are sometimes too loyal. They always want to help me with everything. However, if they weren't as loyal as dogs, I wouldn't be able to sleep well without a well-protected house, like my mage's tower in my past life. Life made a hopeless paranoid out of me. After I become a great mage, I rarely went out without a reliable escort.

I would be flattered by their actions if I were a human as before, but I am a dragon now. Although my abilities are limited in the form of a dragonoids, my body is still stronger than a regular dragonoid's, and the mana reserve is a dragon's.

Wandering in my thoughts and walking around, after a while I found myself in a training field. Here, as usual, the young trained. When they noticed me, they bowed with all respect. I found Jonathan among the crowd.

- Jonathan

- yes! -Jonathan immediately stood up straight, like a well-trained soldier.

- Well, how do you feel after the first successful mission?

- It feels like I've finally taken the first step in what I've been training for all my life.

After the successful capture of the cities, Elvengal did not react in any way. They simply did not have weapons to arm the army, and it is not practical to send an unarmed army. So they just silently admitted their helplessness. For now, Brenga is covering them and other countries see him as a buffer between them and my Kingdom.

- Hmm. How is the training going with those development techniques?

- Are you talking about the techniques of the supreme warrior?

- Yes, about them.

- Everything is going just fine! These techniques are just great! Thanks to them, we can be more confident in the battle with the magicians!

- Hmm.

- However… it's hard for me to explain how it all works and what its advantages are.

The other kids didn't seem to understand what the advantages of these techniques were. In the previous world, for the sake of knowledge of this technique, others killed and proved loyalty by going out of their way, yet, they don't know how useful it is.

- Okay, I'll explain everything to you. One supreme warrior with the proper skills will be able to deal with dozens of warriors of the same level as him. This is achieved because the higher warriors use a special way of development. They make something like a perfectly functioning energy supply system out of their body. While mages use mana outside, warriors use it to strengthen themselves. The mage first collects mana from the air and stores it in his mana storage and gradually increases it, then warriors simply collect mana and distribute it through the body. This helps them to go beyond the body's limits, however, this method wastes a huge amount of mana in vain and the body receives less energy. The technique of the supreme warrior has two advantages. First: They transmit energy much better and with less loss. Because of this, higher warriors are physically stronger than ordinary ones. Second: Unlike ordinary warriors, they use mana storage, but not like magicians. There are so-called templates in the technique. Templates are like pre-prepared spells, they activate them at the right moment and charge the body with mana in certain places, along the way, depending on the template, they light up, freeze, glow, darken, etc. and so on. This can strengthen the owner, blind the enemy, change the environment in their favor, or help in attacking or retreating. After using the template, the warrior's body may weaken for a while, because the body has used a lot of energy in a short time and there is some shortage of mana in it. This side effect usually goes away in half a minute. The number of templates depends on the level of the warrior. The warrior of the basic level owns one, the warrior of the lowest owns two, and so on. Is everything clear?

- Yes! Thank you for explaining this to us, Sir! - They all said in unison. Nodding silently, I went on.

…

Looking around the city in human form, I finally decided to think about how I should act now. After all, if my premonition is telling the truth, in a few years I'll have a very unpleasant time. At first, my ideas were high walls, however, they are likely to be useless. Angels and Demons will most likely be able to fly. And the Titans... for them, the walls will probably be like a stone on the road, at most they will just stumble against the wall. It looks like I will have to leave the tactics of the war of the magical world and switch to the tactics of the war of my home world. The tactics of the new era are reduced to fast and maneuverable soldiers who wage war at a distance. These tactics need to be combined somehow so that they are possible in this world with current technologies. There will be a lot to think about and think about, and then train the army for this tactic. It's not a matter of one day.

- Eh…
