My Gene System - Chapter 102

On the other side of the map, the attackers who came from the Rattin Kingdom were starting to approach the Arzotoc village.

Moreover, the leader was looked calm as he was just in the surroundings and enjoying the breeze and the yellow bright sun touching their bodies.

His name was Xelin Trone, the person who was assigned to rule the invasion against the Arzotoc village. To describe his appearance, he was looked American as he had blond hair, but the difference here was, he had aggressive red eyes, and his physique seemed to experience death training.

Furthermore, his height was around one hundred and seventy-five centimeters. On top of that, at his young age which was twenty-four years old, he was already permitted to handle thousands of attackers. Or to be exact, because of his extraordinary ability, and reasonable thinking, he gained the respect and trust of the people around him.

It was too obvious that some of the attackers were older than him, so it means the ability of a certain person matters in this world.

“Sir Xelin, I think we can reach the Arzotoc village in around four or to five days. I included here the possibility that the will monsters us.” The man who had black spiky hair politely informed him. It was Vole Giza the navigator of this invasion.

Yet, by simply his outward appearance and his physique, they could easily tell that this man was not just an expert by navigating the location. He was also was a skilled fighter just like what you could see in his numerous scars that seemed to come from a sword or other metallic keen weapons.

“Don’t be too cautious about our current location, Vole. Everyone here knows about that since the Arzotoc village is located far away than you expected. Aside from that, that village is surrounded by four different dangerous forests so you should anticipate some of the monsters are guarding them.” Xelin explained nonchalantly as he was not looked bothered if they were staying for a while inside the forest.

Why? It was simple. When the moment they perceived the Arzotoc village, do you think they would immediately engage in an attack? To put it simply, the thousands of attacks were probably exhausted in their travel so they were needed some time to regain their strength. At the same time, they might be overconfident since their opponents were also human beings, so its means there was still a chance that they could defeat their group.

This was Xelin opinion and the main reason why their king chooses him to be the leader of this invasion. Yes! He was too cautious and doesn’t allow himself to commit a single mistake, knowing a single mistake could change everything.

Vole nodded his head at him as he agreed with those words. “I apologize, Sir Xelin, I just thought that you become an inpatient in this invasion because we already traveling for several weeks.” He explained, then slowly pushed himself into a stood-up position, trying to walk next to this man.

“Why should I? I want this invasion to become nice and smooth.” He responded as he hop off on his red horse before adding. “I’m not in hurry, Vole because I as know we are still getting the same result which is all the creatures in that village would die in our hands.”

One thing you could notice in this man was that his red eyes were getting furious every time he talk about killing.

“I understand, Sir Xelin.” Vole responded and even he was looked a bit terrified every time he was this man becoming like this. Nevertheless, he must leave his current location, so that he could continue to navigate this invasion. “I’ll take my leave, Sir-”

And all of a sudden, he was paused as he saw Xelin’s right hand was making gestures that means to stop.

“Wait for a moment, Vole.” He said in a serious tone without looking at the person on his behind.

“What is it, Sir Xelin? Did I say something that offended you? If that’s the case I really apologize.” Behind his tough and scary outward appearance, still, he was showing his respect to this man as he was savvied what Xelin’s capabilities.

He just smiled maliciously, then took a glance at him with his softened red eyes. “No, Vole. I just would like to say here that stop acting too casual in front of me. Still, we are great friends back to the death training camp, nothing gonna change.” He spits out of his mouth, leaving the tough man dumbfounded at him.

“What was that? Did he know that we are now standing in different worlds?” He asked himself in a weak tone, but eventually, he shrugged his shoulders, and his lips were widened. “Well, this is how you really are, Xel!”

A couple of hours had passed, the thousands of attacks were calmly walking under the vast green forest. Where the sunlight couldn’t reach them, only the soothing breeze and chirping of the birds that they could be felt.

“Sir-” Vole stopped as he reminded him of the words Xelin earlier. “Xel, right. I can ask you some questions?” He said in a weak tone so that the attackers around them couldn’t hear how he exactly approached the leader.

It piqued his attention not because he was curious about what Vole would like to know; it was because he called him in the way how Vole called him back then. “What is it, Vole?”

“Well, several weeks had passed when the time we declared that we are going to invade the Arzotoc village.” Vole took a stop just to see how he would reach.

“Yeah… What about this?” He responded again, feeling that there was a monster existence closer to the area.

Remember, that the main problem right now was the possibility that their numbers were vastly decreased because of the monsters’ attacks.

“If you don’t mind, I can ask the reason why we are trying to attack the village? Since it’s been a week, still, I have no idea about the main reason why we have invaded a small village like them. Yes, I’m aware of the useful materials that can be found around them, however, I think it’s not enough to attack them.” Vole said in a polite tone, so he can talk to this man longer.

At this point, he doesn’t mind if told the main reason for this invasion. Nevertheless, he wanted to know why Vole could say those words.

“Before I tell you mine, I would like to hear your words. How could say that this invasion would not have benefited the Rattin Kingdom?” He said in a serious tone, thinking that this man has large ideas rumbling inside his head.

“If you see, almost seven thousand fighters we are gathered in this expedition, it’s the three fourth of the current numbers of the creatures inhabiting in the Arzotoc village? Just for the resources? I don’t think about that since it’s way too obvious that we can find the materials we are looking for around our kingdom.” He knew he was overdoing it, still, he wanted to share his thought about the invasion. “Sorry, if I offended you this. But I don’t think attacking their village is valuable for our Kingdom since we can attack the kingdom that much richer to them and take their stuff.”

At this juncture, he understood what he was trying to say, and for some reason, he agreed with it. Why? Because he already questioned the King the same as what Vole said to him. But what he could do? He should obey all the orders given to him or else he would be killed and his family.

“Honestly, this is the King’s order, I have no right to question about this. Also, we are still getting to them as their establishment was developed, on top of that, we can increase enlarge our territory so the other country nor Kingdom would afraid to us.” He explained, however, didn’t give the answer Vole was looking for.

He took a deep breath, calming his mind. “I know it’s the King’s order and what are the small benefits we could have in this invasion. But, you could tell me why he suddenly declared war against that small village?”

“You’re quite persistent to know more about it, huh? But I guess nothing will change if you say it to you. The reason for this invasion is because of our King’s Dream?” He said with a low tone so that no one could eavesdrop on them.

His eyes were widened after hearing these words, nevertheless, he was not mad about hearing the reason. To put it simply, Vole knew the capacities the King of the Rattin Kingdom.

“W-Wait, what’d he say to you?” He stuttered as he really wanted to know about the current circumstance.

“It’s not that clear, but I remembered that he says that there was a man there that could be the main threat for our Kingdom.. So he wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible.”
