Old Zhao was the one who welcomed Dror at the entrance. After noticing the extraordinary aura emitted by Old Zhao, Dror knew He was in the True warrior realm and this old man's no now middle aged man's strength could almost rival his own.

Old Zhao as an old veteran and broke through the True warrior realm on his own, It won't take long for him to reach the strength, to go toe to toe with Dror.

Dror spoke with a happy smile on his face " so you really made it … Hah.."

But Old Zhao had a serious expression and clasped his hands together to bow with deep respect.

Old Zhao has been a stubborn man throughout his life; he only bowed before very few people in his entire life, but this stubborn old man was bowing before a young man with respect.

For Old Zhao all the help and the chance to redeem himself to stand up tall, was a heavy debt that he owed this young Major. He was already determined to serve this young major as long as he served in the army.

Dror was startled by this sudden show of respect but he soon reached with his hands to stop Old Zhao .

" We are friends right, there is no need for all this…. but of course you can't shy away from treating me to a sumptuous meal and drinks from the golden knife restaurant …."

Old Zhao's serious expression disappeared as he showed a rarely seen smile.

" Of Course it's my treat…"

It wasn't long and Dror arrived at the young dragon camp, where his men were undergoing arduous training.

Dror had a smirk after observing the entire training field.

Of the more than 150 soldiers undergoing training, 100 of them were already at 8th or 9th level of the warrior realm, turning this entire force to something that should be reckoned with.

As Dror arrived every soldier's attention was directed to their legendary Major nicknamed the barbarian god.

Soon the soldiers stood in lines before their leader, under the command of the lieutenant and their squad leaders.

Lieutenant was beaming with a smile as he saluted the Major, Levi was also standing besides Mark in his official uniform as the second lieutenant along with one of the members of the old red eagle, second Lieutenant Timothy.

And behind them stood each squad leader leading their squad in attention.

Dror was really happy at the sight of his company which was orderly and maintained the discipline and dignity of a well trained army.

Dror was not much aware of army etiquette, but he had read about it here and there.

" Be at ease men.."

" I am glad to see all of you giving your all to train, keep it up. We will be receiving a much dangerous mission soon so I want all of you to be prepared and be at your peak, so keep up the good work…. Then return to your training… "

The soldiers knew their major was not a man of much words and they were satisfied with the praise that they received.

Old Zhao nodded at the circumstances with a slight smile. Then he sent a spiritual message to Timothy, Lieutenant Mark, Levi and one other person who joined Dror and Old Zhao to follow them to Dror's office.

Old Zhao had already informed Dror that Xeander had not yet returned from the Air base yet, while Chaow was undergoing special training under the guidance of Old Zhao.

Inside the office room Dror took a deep breath as he observed the five people before him who were already in the True warrior realm; he could only sigh at how quick the strength of his own company had grown.

Other than Old Zhao, the rest of them had all taken the universe resonance pill to advance into the True warrior realm.

Even though taking Universe resonance pills was considered an inferior method still they were also considered real True warriors and had a great chance to reach supreme warrior realm unlike pseudo True warriors, just that they would have to put more effort than people who naturally broke through to the True warrior realm.

Dror could only sigh once more in his mind as he thought about all these related matters.

It was Old Zhao who spoke up.

" You are already acquainted with Timothy, let me introduce you to this new rising young star… Somchai "

Old Zhao pointed towards the young man who had joined them. This young man had black hair with a peculiar spiky hair style with both sides cropped, his eyes were ordinary black, in fact he didn't stand out in any manner.

Dror had the feeling that this young man was very similar to Chaow as their age and bearing also appeared to be very similar.

The young man clasped his hand and bowed slightly to show his great respect for the major.

"Major.."

Dror remembered the selection that they had conducted for soldiers a while back, and this young man was one of those fan followers of the barbarian god, then he heard Old Zhao's spiritual message.

" This young man is a really talented person, he is someone I wanted to train, especially along with Chaow… hah .. but what can I say, he is a stubborn kid, his training speed has been really amazing. I tried to convince him to break through the True warrior realm naturally but he insisted on taking the universe resonance pill.

This has something to do with his past , he is an orphan from one of the slave villages.

When he was still young his whole family was killed by a squadron from the alliance government, the leader of that squadron was current commander Claudius from the Lomba family.

He really looks up to you as someone who defeated Claudius once, but his thirst for power to attain revenge is what worries me…. Hah…"

It was lieutenant Mark who spoke up this time.

" Major, we have decided to assign Somchai along with Chaow as your personal guards, both of them could be of great help to you even if you don't need them to protect you…"

Usually someone at a Major level will not have their own personal guards, only someone at Lieutenant colonel or higher who leads a Battalion and above would have personal guards, but Dragon company had the authority to decide their own hierarchy and modes of operandi.

Dror pondered a little and agreed with a node.

" Ok"

Then he looked at Old Zhao and inquired.

" When will Xeander return… and what about the special team that I asked you to form.."

Old Zhao replied with a calm tone.

" Deputy Major will arrive by tomorrow. The last time I spoke he was confident in attaining the invitation from the minister of war.

As for the matter of the special team we already have two beast masters, the Deputy major has promised to recruit a very talented beast master and her apprentices from the Air base, I think there won't be any problem with what we have offered as the price of recruitment there is no chance of anything going wrong.. "

" Good "

Dror nodded with a satisfied smile.

" With everything progressing smoothly, I believe you have already started the special training for the 100 selected soldiers in the old ways… this is a really important mission. We can't fail here at any cost or the consequences would be much more terrible than you can imagine… so I hope all of you look into the data and reports related to the previous war challenge again and see if we have missed anything and include that in the training of the soldiers."

The rest of the people present nodded in agreement with Dror's words.

Levi showed smirk and slowly muttered " So we are really doing it, the war challenge.."

Levi has been waiting to test his strength after entering the true warrior realm and this was his chance, similarly everyone else had a similar expression: a craving to challenge and defeat their opponent, to wash away the shame that they have been enduring for a long time.

But Dror was more composed to others and he reprimanded Levi " Don't jump the horse, we are waiting for a final confirmation from the Raven and changes can happen at any moment, so stay calm and composed. Even if we fail to participate in the Challenge it doesn't matter, their will be other chances .."

...

While at this time Xeander was standing in front of a gate with a cautionary sign board hanging out " Beware of the dogs ".

He was lost in his thoughts and memories for a second before calming down.

This was one of the properties that was situated farthest away from the main buildings of the Air base.

The compound of this vast property was walled with a special formation.

Xeander had heard stories about this place from others, this place was nothing less than a zoo with all kinds of spirit beasts and one of the powerhouse of the rebel forces resided here.

Xeander slowly rang the bell that was attached to the gate.

Ding…

But there was no response and he had to wait for around 15 minutes before a servant arrived at the gate to open it.
