《My life as a human knight has begun》Chapter 36

"Geh... and here I thought that I finally can see the Goddess clan, now we have to wait other days ?~," Sven said while walking through the front gate of Jega camp with grumpy face
"It cant be helped, Sven. They said that the sacred weapon will bestow upon us when the priest has done praying to God for our fortune. So I say, within four days, you be able to see their place, Sven and that's our prince has promised. Until then, you have to wait" Ordas walks beside him, pushing the cart with a three big pouch, topple with each other.
God, huh... I haven't acknowledged their existence since I never saw them. But they say the god posses unlimited strength, power and wisdom. If so, then I want to meet this god and fight it, who seem so holy and mighty as those humans said. But when I think about it, if their god this mighty, then they should have not any difficult to fight us, demon. In fact, they can ask the god itself to go rampage on us, since he or she so called undefeatable, they can achieve the demon lord's head without a sweat...
I also noticed that these past months, some of the recruits are kneeling in front of the small wood with a nice carve as looks like a doll. Their Mouth also mumbling as their eyes closed with the hands hold become one. So I think the god that Ordas mention just now it must be that doll. And how to suppose I should fight with that unliving thing like that! what's the harm can he do?! I can throw that thing miles away with my full power and that's the end of that pathetic god's life of them!
"Well, tomorrow the construction will begin in here, so Mr Klosen, Galland... can you gather all recruits in one place? I want to announce something" Sven scratch his head
"Sure thing" they went separate ways
After a couple of minutes, all of the recruits, either the injured or none, have gathered in an open field... just like their first day. Even Sir Itagrav and his men attend this as well.
"What's this all about?" he asks to one of the recruits
"I do not know, but it said that Mr Klose has something to say. I think it must be the reward from the royal family" replied him
"Are you sure?? damn I can't wait!!" said the other with excited when they heard the conversation
Right after Mr Klosen standing on the stage, all of them were silent completely as they murmuring with a quiet voice.
"I have something important to say here, so listen carefully. I, Klosen Adel, the rank captain, will announce it to you, the great holy knight, has come to this place with a request"
"T-the great holy knight?! that impossible for we to have one! I haven't recall any person that I know from the royal capital, has a rank of great holy knight!!" Sir Itagrav shocked by Klosen words
"G-great holy knight? that is a very high ranking officer that coming here~" said the others

Once Sven climbing the stair and stand in front of them, all of them wearing a weird face as they facing each other with clueless," You kidding me, right? Are you saying that he..."
"Yes! Sven of Versfalio is the first great holy knight has ever made in this country. And that makes me under him" Klosen said with smile
"So, Sir Sven... you may come forward"
"Stop it, Mr Klosen. It's a bit awkward if you mention my name like that" Sven feels embarrassed by Klosen words
Then, he walks slowly and standing on the stage in front of them. Those eyes have struck Sven's face with full of question
"It's as Klosen said, I'm the first great holy knight in history. This golden locket in my hand is the proof of my title. Which means that I have full authorities on you guys. But let escape that because I want to tell you the very important news. In our battle against the demons, we may achieve the victory but our total loss of men is not being easy to ignore it. Our comrades, our siblings have been taken away with cruel by not with the enemies, but within our allies. Why is that? because they have not come to aid us. I've been calculating the journey from Bardlin and Excadiablo at the Royal capital, to Jega, it's around at least two hours if you sprint your horse like a madman. The report about the arrival of our enemies is around evening... a day before the battle. It makes sense to think that they would arrive here before night, right after they receive the reports from those messengers, but they didn't" Sven shouting as he looks everyone eyes
"So, you basically blame us for your men loss? is that you want to say, Sven!?" Sir Itagrav suddenly angry by the statement from Sven
"It's Sir Sven for you, purple bastard!" Arthur aims his sword at Itagrav's forehead
"I'm not saying basically... I'm totally blaming you guys. Just like the Lorc guys, you too want to have all the credit by yourself, isn't that right, Itagrav?" Sven glaring with disgust
"This is a coup, you brainwashing them to overthrow the kingdom. I must tell the king for your action and come back with a mighty force to annihilate you!" Sir Itagrav leaving this place with his men, but being stopped but Sven's dark aura
"Forgotten already? I'm your superior, the great holy knight. Turning your back against me means ignoring my order. I'll overlook this if you give me your cooperation by sit well and listen to what I'm saying"
"F-fine!" he clenches his teeth to hold his anger toward Sven
"Good, as you see the result, they manage to come but only by last minutes... which means they are nothing but a fool who wants to have an easy way by sitting under your hard work. But that shit will done now!! The prince has granted me to create my own military, and I name it Regulus! and my intent to build this for to protect the weak and raise them to be a proper fighter.... better than what they have now. The other camp may let you enter if you're from a noble family or high, but not my military because I forbid that system to emerge in my faction. You already know my strength so I'll personally train you guys until you manage to stand your own feet. But I do not force you to join me... if you guys have better choices.... so stay with it."

Those who heard that keeps murmuring with wrinkles on their forehead, " I know that I'm still a kid... and you find it hard to serve me for as I'm still young. Knowing that, all I ask is to believe in me. Believe me, as I will be the torch to your darkness and leads you to the path of glory"
Then... in the middle of those recruits, a man with a short axe standing with confident," I, Dorel from the Kaku village, will serve under you until this body being shred by the enemies!"
After that man said, one by one state their will to fight to the death, under Sven's faction... until all of them standing with a passion in their eyes including the original of Sven's unit. Sven looking at them with satisfied expression
"My ambition is to create an army that can withstand any attacks and be able to fight with mightily, without relying upon any hope. We will defend the weak and slaughter any enemies that stand in our way. For that, we will strive to loop victories in future, and carve our mighty stories on not only through to those people's lips but also spread to the other empires as well. Let those scums know, that the one who will stand above them for eternity is, the Regulus!" he raise his hand to the air
"YEAH!" all of them cheered with a burning spirit
"Ah, I almost forgot. The prince also giving me your reward. And guess what... its 500,000 gold coin!" Sven said with loud
"5... 500,000 g-golden coins!!!" all of them said at the same time
"My payment for cutting the wood for the nobles is 70 copper per day... and now I receive a gold coin for the first time in entire my life! I'm glad that I survive to this day! I'm glad!" one of the man sobbing, being calm down by his friends
"looks like I can buy a luxury food and toys for my children!!" said the other guy hugging to his friend with joy
"Hmph" Sven smiling when he saw his men cheering, dancing, crying and hugging with joy, right after they heard about the reward that they will receive
"How much for a 1 gold coin for anyway?" Sven ask Klosen
"You don't know? 1000 copper coin is for 1 silver coin, 1000 silver coin is for 1 gold coin. That's why they so happy about it since there's among of our men is from a poor family. They enter the camps with the same way as you. It's a hell for them, who newbies to fight a demons army as not even one year that they staying here, and also a miracle that they manage to get out that mess. I bet they can't wait to go home and meet their family, after their family also waiting for them patiently to see them alive as a good news"
Sven stares at those face of them, crying with joy... talking about to meet their family once its end, he understands it very well. Aya's face suddenly strikes on his mind, smiling while waiting for him to return," I guess you're right... they really deserve it"
Sven clapping his hand to gain their attention" Since you guys have chosen to serve under me, from this day... I hereby that your title will rise from recruit to elite. And for your reward shall be given once we have finish divide it. And one thing, as for tomorrow, our fortress will start to construct, so I'll give you three month of off day. Use this chance to meet your family and spend your time with them!" they become more excited as they heard those words.
"And don't worry about the camps as the prince also agreed to sent his best royal guard to guarding and watch over this place until the construction was completed," Sven said
"what about us? don't we also receive our reward as well, since we're the one who tends your men's injury, guarding this place when you off to the royal capital... and the most important part, it was I who gave the reports on your victory to them... so I demand our payment too!" Itagrav standing in unsatisfied looks.
"Oh, yeah... about that. Wait for a moment..." Sven rubbing all over his body to search something, and let out a five gold coin in his hand. Then, he put in the pouch and throw at him
"O-only five gold coin!? what's the meaning of this! I should receive better than this for my effort! and-"
"You have the nerve to complain in front of my face, you ungrateful human! If not from my mercy, you do not deserve to receive anything from me since you the one who caused all of my men injured. If you come early, none of this matter will occur and my men will not suffer from damage, whether inside or outside body!"
"I-I'm not denying that..." he lowered his head
"But for your mages, who tend my men's injury with relentless... they shall receive different reward than you... so, do you agree with my proposal?"
"Yes..."
"Good, so from this day, I shall declare this place as the Headquarters for the Regulus... and you will starting your off days in tomorrow, as we shall celebrate our victory with feast and drinks... tonight!"
"Yeah~!" all of them cheered
I guess I'm happy like everyone as I can't wait to see Aya tomorrow

The scientific knowledge she could find on the internet using the free Wi-Fi in one of the local coffee shops forced her to tolerate the occasional interrogation. But even hipsters were better than Seth, the beefy police officer that caught her teleporting. Apparently, she wasn’t allowed to lie to him, which was fine as long as he didn’t ask about the clone. Seth: Seth had seen his share of bad luck. On normal days, it manifested as a shoulder injury that got him discharged from his SEAL team or wounding a civilian while on the police force.

At least Nasilain promised not to use her magic to split atoms. Content warning: This book DOES NOT contain zombie fairies. Everything else is fair game though.
