Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 154 - Special Training Program

Unlike the other regular towns, there were no individual residents in the Silverstone town. Previously it was occupied by the families who had their own servants and after the invasion, there were only three new families that were established around the same time as the Hellmore family.

These families used to have contacts with the other towns, where they regularly bought the basic essentials like food grains, fruits and other things, to sell into the town.

However, it was only done by a few families who were not powerful enough to sell to enter the wilderness.

During the invasion, they left all those items back into the town, making Lucas and others not worry about basic essentials.

Nevertheless, he could always get the spirit beast's meat either by entering the 'Myriad primordial forest' himself or sending some of his powerful family members.

"Family head, even though I know why they are planning to lock down the entire Silverstone town and train everyone, no matter how much we train in the town, we will still not progress as much as we train in the wilderness.'

Bryok understood what Lucas was trying to do; however, he didn't hesitate to voice out his concerns.

Since the Hellmore family owns the Silverstone town, it was common sense that all the residents of the Silverstone town would be targeted by the royal family.

Compared to the Hellmore family, the other families would be facing a greater threat if they went out because they didn't have heaven's blessing and even if the royal family directly killed them, nothing would happen to them.

"Don't worry about your training. Just send the young men from your families from next week, they will be trained together with the young men of the Hellmore family."

Lucas replied to Bryok's concern with a slight smile on his face as he continued, "As for the middle-aged men and old men in our families, they need to wait as I am planning something good for them to train."

When Lucas decided to go against the royal family, he had already thought of his future plans. Even though he didn't expect that he would gain three guardian families, his plan could be modified without much difficulty while the result only becomes better and better.

"We will follow as you say, Sir Lucas."

The three young men didn't know what Lucas was planning for the older men in their families who were already in the early tiers of the general rank, but they have enough faith in Lucas after experiencing how he increased their talent without touching their bodies.

Soon, the three family heads left with their family members and as for Lucas and his family members, they also left to the Raindrop manor.

For the next few days, Lucas made all the preparations for the training of the young men, stored all the ingredients for cooking and other basic necessities.

Also, the young man that Old man Bernard invited to Silverstone town to change their fates also started appearing one by one. Of course, Lucas sent Phantom eagle on patrols around Silverstone town in order to protect them.

Luckily, there was no one who was trying to ambush the people that were coming towards or going out of the Silverstone town.

"From a total of 100 invitations, only 51 showed up and among these 51 young men and women, only 24 after willing to fight whereas others were more than happy to work for the normal jobs like farmers, storekeepers, servants, maids and other miscellaneous jobs."

Even though Lucas was disappointed with the number of young men who were willing to fight, he could not say anything because most of these young men and women lived by fear until now.

For them, a job with good pay where they don't have to be in the front lines was better compared to the fighting jobs.

'The skill [Fighter's sense] is very helpful in detecting whether these 51 young men and women were telling the truth or not.'

Lucas felt glad that he received that skill which made things easier for him while recruiting the young men.

Overall, it took a week for everything to settle in Silverstone town before having another meeting with the three family heads.

In the meeting hall of the raindrop manor.

Currently, Lucas was in a meeting with three young family heads and behind him, the old man Bernard was standing without saying anything.

"From tomorrow onwards, the special training program for the youngsters for my family will officially start. Did you select the young men whom you want to send to that program?"

After discussing various things, Lucas informed others about the special training program.

"Yes, Sir Lucas."

"After discussing among ourselves, we decided to send 10 youngsters from each family with the highest potential for that program."

"As for the others, we will train them by ourselves as we didn't want to burden Sir Lucas with everything."

All the three family heads replied to Lucas in a polite manner.

"Nonsense, who said it will be a burden? You can send as many youngsters as possible."

Lucas frowned when he heard their words as he continued, "Even though it is special training, there will be multiple instructors to guide them. Moreover, the more youngsters join the training, the better."

"Only then, the competition between the youngsters will be intense."

For Lucas, training 10 members or 100 members doesn't make much of a difference because he would be giving them the modified version of the training he received in his previous life. 

After observing the young slaves who were the first to receive his modified version of the exercise, Lucas came to know that it had a good effect on them compared to himself from the previous life.

He noted that it might be related to the energy in the nature of this world that made the training's results increase by multiple folds.

"Really?"

All three family heads were excited as they nodded their heads before deciding to send more youngsters.

"But, Sir Lucas, where are you planning to train them?"

In the next second, Jenson asked with a question mark on his face.
