Darius Supreme

Darius disappeared from his mage tower after making sure everything would function fine in his relative absence, and then teleported right into the camp of Safemoon at the frontlines.

Since the army was extremely mobile and powerful, they usually would not need a camp. However, they waited for Miranda to work on the conquered parts of Fallon so far, integrating the technology of Safemoon, especially in transportation, as well as slowly brainwashing the citizens that this was the best choice of their lives.

So they paused here, right before the final 50 or so empires that were the most powerful n Fallon. The true leaders of the Fallon Continental Council usually came from and were affiliated with these top empires.

This also caused the empires to feel like they were seated in a quiet exam hall with the urge to take a dump, but did not dare to raise their hands to admit that they want to leave.

The emperors and nobles of these empires had not had a good sleep for the past few weeks due to Safemoon\'s deployment, and they dreaded the day the camp would break down and march.

Ironically, they also cherished each day the camp existed because it was one more day they could enjoy the freedom and probably even life and limb.

However, all that would end today.

When Darius appeared, Achilles rushed over to greet him with a salute. Beside Achilles was a rugged soldier who was young and chiseled jawed, exuding a \'Chad Thundercock\' like aura.

"Hello Boss, this is Commander Maverick, the leader of the Safemoon Army." Achilles introduced with a smile.

After all, Safemoon had an army and there was the elite force led by Achilles which actually belonged specifically to the Stone Family. The normal army was made out of crafted humans by Darius with the Material element who underwent 100 years of FIVR training that made them elite and brainwashed them.

After being given Soul Nourishing Divine Dew to awaken true souls, they instantly sparked and gained unique skills as well as Awakened and reached the Adept stage at the minimum.

As for this commander, he was a peak Master-stage warrior mage who could become a Grandmaster in due time. In fact, most of the normal army troops had the potential to reach the Master stage.

As for the Elite forces, they were around 1/3rd of the Safemoon army and were created from the womb of Medea\'s Demi-God body, birth from the seed of a Phoenix-infused humanoid.

So they had the bloodline of the flame phoenix as well as Divine Sparks within their bodies that could be lit up later in life. Since they were all born naturally through the same father and mother, they were literally close siblings with very similar features all around.

They also underwent the 100 years of training, but theirs was more brutal and elite, also focusing less on brainwashing and more on their brotherhood and well as independent thinking.

They started at the peak Master stage and could easily become Grandmasters with a little bit of effort. From there, they could light their Divine Fires and become Demi-Gods after some training and hard work, reaching their peak power.

They were led by a true Demi-God in the form of Achilles who was also their mentor in a way. Achilles had been altered, granted the Fire Phoenix bloodline as well, while his special invulnerability had been given to his elite soldiers.

So obviously, given the difference between both forces, one could not expect them to have the same leader, though they nominally fought together.

Darius observed Commander Maverick and nodded with a soft smile. "Good to meet you. Give me an update."

The Commander saluted with the utmost respect and spoke in a deep voice.

"It is rather my honor to stand before my Lord and Creator. The current situation of the army is that were are ready to push forward at a moment\'s notice and conquer all the enemies of Safemoon!"

Darius smiled and lead the two men to the nearby command tent. "And? How many troops do you have now, respectively?"

The Commander saluted once more before speaking. "Lord Darius, we currently have over 20 million men available. 85% are at the Adept stage, 14% at the Master stage, and 1% at the peak of the Master-stage like myself!"

Achilles smiled casually and folded his arms behind his back. "Well boss, we have 30,000 Elites so far and 75% are at the Master stage, 23% at the Grandmaster stage, and 2% at the peak of the Grandmaster. No Demi-gods apart from me since we need your permission to light our Divine Fire."

Darius nodded and was pleased. Upon entry to the command tent, he was it was quite simple in nature, much like how Gunner would prefer it. He walked over to the map on the table and observed the details on it.

"How soon can your men deploy?" Darius asked while staring at the map and not even looking at them.

Achilles and Commander Maverick shared a look and answered boldly.

"Right away, My Lord!"

Darius tore his eyes off the table and glanced at the two leaders of his first army with a pleased smile. "Good, then let\'s get ready to deploy. I want to have the rest of Fallon conquered before the end of the weak."

Achilles and Commander Maverick were excited and felt like this would be a good chance to show off their prowess before the lord. They both saluted and grandly shouted their compliance before rushing out.

Darius watched them leave with an amused look. He could tell what they were thinking and actually encouraged it. It was always a good idea to put in extra effort when someone who was qualified to reward you for that effort was looking.

That was also one of the reasons he bothered to come out here anyway. The other reason was because, as Vena had clearly stated, she wanted him to increase his combat experience.

Where better to do so than in war?
