95. There Are Spaceships Coming

It was not easy to train a group of fallen beasts. After all, their beast forms and types were so varied that there was no way at all to train them uniformly.

Anyway, Reynolds had no plan to train them into a regular army. He just wanted to let those fallen beasts vent their vigorous energy and understand a few rules, which was a very simple matter actually.

At first, these fallen beasts were a complete mess during training, but now they could already line up into neat and tidy rows. Even more, they could make many extremely difficult moves according to orders, which was a huge progress.

These fallen beasts were trained during the day, and at night, Reynolds would show them movies outdoors, making them watch various videos that the military got for the soldiers to watch.

These videos were specifically selected for soldiers to watch and had passed censorship. Other than that, all of them were to promote positive energy and also proclaim some spirits such as "selfless dedication" and so on.

These things were not too suitable for ordinary people, but it was just right for these fallen beasts to watch. The fallen beasts had encountered huge changes and had been abandoned by the entire society. Many of them hated normal beastmen and sub-beastman out of jealousy. With this kind of mentality, they were unsuitable to re-enter society.

Right now, there was no way to do psychological coaching on them, so Reynolds could only do this first.

This evening, the outdoor cinema was in operation as usual.

The desert area seldom had rain and snow. Occasionally, there were rain and snow, but they only fell for a moment. Reynolds did not prepare accommodation for the fallen beasts and just randomly chose a place to put the projector to show the movies. The fallen beasts could only find a space to lie down on their own, but they were already very satisfied.

As fallen beasts, they had no such thing like entertainment before.

What was shown tonight was not a movie but a documentary video instead.

Don't look at how powerful the Beastman Empire was now, and how there were no neighboring countries that dared to invade them. Once, they had also encountered all kinds of troubles. When they had just stepped into the interstellar era, the Beastman Empire had even suffered colonial rule.

The space aliens invaded and occupied the mother star of the Beastman Empire, captured the beastmen to work for them exploring new planets, and even regarded sub-beastmen who retained some beast characteristics as playthings while arresting and taking away the beastmen to the fighting arena and making them duel . . . .

Later, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of that time led numerous beastmen to rebel. Only then did the Beastman Empire break free from the humiliating colonial rule. Afterwards, the beastmen also fought countless battles in order to be able to obtain more living spaces.

During those battles, many beastmen died, and there were many others who were wounded and became fallen beasts. However, the beastmen still did not give up and charged into the battlefield wave after wave.

Many of the battles had been filmed, and the video they were watching today was cut out from those filmed battles.

Although the fallen beasts had gone through arduous training during the day, but they already recovered now and were quietly staring at the huge screen not far away.

They used to think that they were very pitiful, but now it seemed that . . . they were actually still lucky.

Although they had become fallen beasts, but they could live freely on the Fallen Beast Planet, and they did not have to be like those beastmen in wartime, who were considered as cannon fodders to charge at the forefront. Furthermore, they even had hope of restoring their beast cores.

The male lion Bruno, a fallen beast who had followed Reynolds for many years, was in the leading position among the lion-shaped fallen beasts who were now divided, and he also occupied the best position when watching the video.

He had always scoffed at the movies Reynolds made them watch and even vaguely thought that this was an evil design of the imperial family, whom wanted to brainwash them. Naturally, he had never taken those movies seriously.

But today, his whole attention was finally attracted by the content of the video.

He even could not help but feel ashamed and remorseful after watching the battles in the video.

"Bruno." Jesse, who had turned into his lion form, came to Bruno’s side and slowly licked Bruno's hair. "Don’t worry, your beast core will also be restored after a few more days."

Edgar originally said that he would only help Bruno restore his beast core last. Bruno had never been chosen in the past few days, so Jesse was worried that he was unhappy and came to comfort him.

"I'm fine." Bruno said. "I’m not worried . . . . I’m really not."

Saying so, Bruno lay on the ground, the emotion showing in his eyes complicated beyond words. He had been chided several times but always felt that he had done nothing wrong, and he had even been rather opposed to Edgar and others. But now, as he looked back and thought deeply about it, he suddenly realized that many things he had done seemed to be a little self-righteous, arrogant, and childish.

He always had a very strong opinion against sub-beastmen because of some bitter experiences after becoming a fallen beast. Yet if he thought about it carefully, even if his mother had made him bitterly disappointed, but not all sub-beastmen were like that.

Turning his body around, Bruno leaned on Jesse and stopped talking. He secretly vowed that he would definitely perform well later and make Shu Shu sit up and take notice of him, so he could get the chance to restore his beast core early.

Bruno was in a complicated mood. Reynolds, however, was very excited at the moment.

There were countless fallen beasts on the Fallen Beast Planet. All the fallen beasts who followed him were basically sane and clear headed, but a lot of the fallen beasts who lived in various settlements had begun to suffer from dementia and even become crazy from time to time.

These fallen beasts barely remembered that they were beastmen and not real beasts. After the news about Shu Shu being able to restore the beast core spread, they also came here, but they caused a lot of trouble after arriving.

Reynolds had been very anxious before. He worried that, in the end, these fallen beasts might not be able to become beastmen again because of their unsound minds. Now though . . . .

Since Shu Shu created that so-called spirit gathering formation, these fallen beasts unexpectedly looked a lot more clear headed. Among them was a fallen beast whom once was his friend and had long forgotten about him, but now he remembered him again.

Learning this fact, Reynolds felt indescribably happy and also admired Shu Shu very much. Thinking that Shu Shu seemed to like watching those fallen beasts being trained in various ways, he took out a handheld computer and then began to design all kinds of new moves for the fallen beasts so that they could please Shu Shu when they underwent training.

As a beastman, it was only right to work hard to make the sub-beastman happy . . . . Reynolds earnestly designed highly difficult moves for those fallen beasts.

He was also for these fallen beasts’ own good, ah! Almost half of the fallen beasts were single, so they would definitely try to pursue a sub-beastman after becoming beastmen again. If they learned a lot now, later when the sub-beastman was being unhappy, wouldn’t they be able to rely on these lessons to coax the sub-beastman?

He provoked Jones’ anger yesterday, and Jones did not let him enter their room. In the end, he certainly relied on performing a sideshow and even wagged his tail like a pet dog, which made Jones can't help but burst out laughing, to climb up Jones' bed.

Shu Shu felt that his recent life was simply very rich.

He could accompany the children to play, watch the fallen beasts train, and study the formation method. At night, he could pull Edgar to bring the children to watch a movie and then do things that were not suitable for children with Edgar afterwards . . . .

Such a life, Shu Shu felt that even if he lived it for a long time, he would not feel bored!

Shu Shu thought so, but Edgar's thought was completely different from him.

Although the Fallen Beast Planet was good, but life in the capital star was more convenient and allowed the children to get better education . . . . As a father of two children, Edgar felt that he had to redouble his efforts to resolve the fallen beast problem early so he could take the children back to the capital star as soon as possible.

In the beginning, Edgar could only help ten fallen beasts restore their beast cores every day. Over time, this number changed. Nowadays, Edgar could already help twenty fallen beasts restore their beast cores every day!

In this way, animals that suddenly became naked men as they walked around the base were getting even more . . . .

These beastmen, whose beast cores had not yet stabilized and who were temporarily unable to control their physical changes, initially lived together with other fallen beasts. However, after Edgar bumped into transforming men twice and found that Shu Shu actually started to observe those fallen beasts’ bodies with full interest, he kicked all these men out without the slightest hesitation, making them live in other areas while hunting for meat as well.

Of course, he found a high-sounding reason for this—he made this decision for those beastmen’s own good, so as to make them adapt to their bodies as quickly as possible!

A new day came, and outside the house where Edgar and Shu Shu lived, twenty huge beasts gathered together at dawn.

These beasts were huge in size, and a sneeze from one could make a hole in the sandy ground. However, they were currently motionless and, surprisingly, had not made a single sound.

They were all waiting for Edgar and Shu Shu to wake up, hoping to restore their beast cores soon.

When Edgar and Shu Shu came out of the house, the twenty fallen beasts fixed their gazes at them simultaneously. Those fervent gazes made people can’t help but feel spooked, but fortunately, whether it was Edgar or Shu Shu, they were already used to being watched attentively like this.

Edgar looked at the twenty fallen beasts in front of him and saw Bruno, the lion he was very familiar with, among them, but he did not say anything. He greeted these people and let them follow him into a room in the storied building next to him.

In this room, there was a highly effective spirit gathering formation, which had gathered a lot of spiritual power. As soon as these fallen beasts went in, they felt indescribably comfortable . . . .

Twenty fallen beasts soon regained their beast cores.

After completing today's task and using up all his spiritual power, Edgar was just planning to go back and think of a method to improve the efficiency of the beast core restoration, and then he saw Calvin coming over from a distance.

When Chris took Ian to leave the Fallen Beast Planet, he took away several spaceships and many people, but he did not take Calvin and the Duke of Mund.

Edgar had been very busy. Moreover, Jonathan had almost killed his family, which made him take offense to some extent, so he had not tried to find Calvin, and Calvin also avoided him deliberately. As a result, after the two men met again, they actually never communicated with each other.

Calvin had lost a lot of weight, and the former playboy looked very wan and sallow now. Edgar glanced at him and called him, "Calvin."

"Your Imperial Highness." Calvin saluted Edgar and looked at Edgar with shame in his eyes. He always considered Edgar as his best friend. Edgar as well as the emperor and the empress had also taken very good care of him. And as a result? His mother had actually caused Edgar to almost die twice.

"What’re you going to do in the future?" Edgar asked.

"I’m going to go to the army." Calvin replied.

Calvin had been the police chief of the capital star and had a pretty high status, but now he was already sacked. If he entered the army, he might have to start from the bottom . . . . Edgar originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Calvin's resolute expression, he choked back the words he was going to say and only said, "Work hard."

"I will." Calvin took a deep breath.

Edgar did not say anything else. He knew that his relationship with Calvin certainly couldn’t go back to the way it was before. After all, what Jonathan had done could not be utterly erased.

The two men looked at each other silently. At this moment, a soldier of the Imperial Fleet arrived in front of Edgar. "Your Imperial Highness, there’re spaceship coming to the Fallen Beast Planet!"

"What kind of spaceship?" Edgar asked.

"One of them is an imperial spaceship, and the other two are a civilian spaceship and a private spaceship with no symbol on it." The soldier stated.

Before Chris returned to the capital star, he had already contacted the capital star using the military emergency communication channel to inform the situation here and let the capital star there sent some supplies.

The Fallen Beast Planet was a little far from the capital star. It was estimated that Chris had not yet reached the capital star now, but the supplies sent by the capital star should indeed have arrived.

There were really a lot of things in them that were in short supply. It was said that there were several professional childcare experts . . . . Edgar immediately asked, "Where’re the spaceships ?"

"The spaceships are still outside the atmosphere and can land at any time." The soldier replied.

"Arrange a landing right away." Edgar said and recalled something. "You find someone to notify the crown princess." He had ordered people to prepare a lot of fine food to be brought along. Shu Shu would definitely like it.
