Calm

Before The

STORM

"Sire the preparations are going well"

"I see How Long Till It is ready"

"It is hard to say, the "architects" are saying it will still take a while"

"Almost We are almost there,Soon we shall Reclaim that which is rightfuly ours"

"Yes My Lord!"

*The Fight is over the 10th escaped but the rest lie lifeless Aqib,Muneeb and Shaheer are extremely tired after that ordeal and have decided to go and hide in the mountains until they recover

Aqib:*Gasp* *Gasp*This should be good enough lets hide in that cave.

*The group take shelter in a medium sized cave

*Aqib blockes the entrance and the rest of the cave leaving behind the are of a small room

Aqib:Now no one will be able to surprise attack us.

Shaheer:Nice,Muneeb do your thing.

(Muneeb turns the rough and mountanious ground into a soft and comfortable carpet he also creates a few lanterns which aqib fuels and then hangs on the roof)

Aqib:Finally I can get some good sleep.Muneeb are you SURE you cant heal us?

Muneeb:I can restore physical injuries but I cannot restore mana or get rid of tiredness. Sadly.

*The group tell each other about their fights

Shaheer:And then I turned his student into a zombie and he got impaled from the back lol

Aqib:You barely survived that man.

Shaheer:I knew if that fight dragged on with the both of them I would be dead meat So I took a gamble and risked everything to kill the 12th.It didnt go as planned but in the end I still won.

Muneeb:Man I dont want to talk about the 10th he was so weird, he kept calling me a cutie and it seemed like he was enjoying getting hit ;-;

*The room falls silent but aqib changes the subject

Aqib:So what do we do after this?

Shaheer:I picked up the 12th's diary and according to it aside from outposts there are actually small fortresses which house much more people and generally there are generals living in them.

Aqib:We should attack them one by one so they dont get the chance to jump us like this time.

(To jump someone means to surprise attack someone with multiple people)

Muneeb:This has me thinking if the bottom six generals were this powerfull just how strong are "The pillars" and The Honoured One.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

*"The pillars" is the name of The Honoured One's personal group.

Shaheer:Our stats were higher than the lower 6 generals, the only reason that fight was so hard was that they jumped us and their abilities countered ours.I don't think the stats of the upper six will be too much higher than us and even if they are there is no way a single upper general will be able to fight all of us together.

Muneeb:You have a point but what if they have an extremely broken ability like the 10th or Abuturab.

(Broken means very powerful)

Aqib:Well that is a risk we have to take.

*The room falls silent once more as the three think of what to do next

Shaheer:Man if only we knew what abuturab and musab were doing!

Aqib:Like what if they are dead.

Muneeb:Nah no way considering how much of a coward abuturab is he would probably just hide in a pocket dimension if something like that happened.

Shaheer:You have a point XD!

*In a fortress not so far away

?:Oh so you are the new guy?

Abuturab:Yes and you must be the 1st ranked general.It is a pleasure to meet you.

Rank#1:Oh you flatter me! But back to the topic on hand I shall be testing you to see what rank you fit in.

Abuturab:And what will that test be?

*The 9th teleports in front of The Honoured One

(The Honoured One glares at the 9th)

The Honoured One:So you I guess you failed?

Rank#9:Ah! I was hoping not to meet you so soon.....And yes we failed. I know what will happen to me but before you do that I would like to say that they were much stronger than we expected.

The Honoured One:So strong that 5 OF YOU FAILED?

Rank#9:Well their stats were near the upper ranks and they were quite intelligent fighters especially the elements guy.Welp I tried my best hit me with it boss.

The Honoured One:Even at the end of your life you are still cracking jokes? You never fail to amuse me.

*The Honoured One reaches out his hand towards the kneeling general and a flash of light encompases the 9th after the light dissipates the only thing left is ash

EnigmaticWomen:You should have let him live,His power was quite useful.

The Honoured One:If he was necessary for the future you would have stopped me earlier.

EnigmaticWomen: (:
