Capítulo 3: The Squire Realm, Retaliation
"Darling!"
Perhaps because she was officially a wife now, but Rea has discarded all the shyness of a maiden. Now, only a mature, stunning woman was there.
Fredrinn's smile widened as he tightly hugged her waist. His mother, Cecy, also came to celebrate Rea's pregnancy. They chatted with each other and laughed.
They didn't go all night long, however, as Rea needed to watch over her fetus.
A day later, Fredrinn, after arranging all the necessary things for the villagers to do, set out to hunt the wild beasts with his men under the worried look of Rea and Cecy.
Fredrinn was cautious as he trodden the way; the nearest hostile force was the Rein Village. The enmity has been passed down by their ancestors, and this forest area has become one of the things they always sought for.
This time, he was determined to subdue the Rein Village if the opportunity arose and claimed this whole area.
Along the way, they meet several wild beasts. Fredrinn marched with no fear and was filled with excitement. With the meat of these beasts, he could enhance the strength of the villagers!
With his immense strength, the subjugation was smooth. No one suffered even a gash, as Fredrinn would crush them with his fists.
Ter and the other strong men were in awe; the village head was mighty!
There are as many as 20 wild beasts. With these preys, the group planned to go back. If they fight for more, it would be inefficient. After all, only about twenty men are in the group.
Just as they were about to go back with the prey, a figure jumped out and assaulted a fellow villager.
Others decisively threw the corpses and rushed towards the figures.
"Men, halt!"
However, Fredrinn quickly established his authority and commanded them. The villagers looked unwilling, but when they saw that their fellow villagers easily smashed the assaulter, they were stunned.
So weak?
"Men, form a line!"
Although stunned, they hurriedly implemented the training for the past month and formed a strong line of men, including the one who was attacked.
Fredrinn waited for the enemies to appear; you can't hit what your eyes can't see. As soon as a bunch of men appeared, he did not hesitate.
"You! How dare you attack our Rein Villa—"
An arrogant young man was about to run his mouth when a menacing, ferocious line of men charged unhesitatingly towards the scrambled group. Fredrinn and his men did not give them a chance at all as they ruthlessly cut them all down.
The hunting group of the Rein Village, which consisted of over 30 men, was cut down like pigs. The difference in strength was too vast.
While they stuck in their natural development of muscles, Fredrinn has enhanced his men's strength thoroughly, doubling their strength directly.
The villagers were excited. Their gaze towards Fredrinn became even more fervent. Such a prodigious village head!
"Men, loot the corpses and bring back the wild beasts for consumption. Prepare the children to enter the squire realm by feeding them the meat! They are our future!"
"Understood!"
Afterward, they head back to the village. The sun was ready to set, and a night in the forest was too dangerous.
Nocturnal wild beasts, for ordinary people like them, are too strong.
After they arrived at the village, the housewives and white girls cheered when they saw the dozens of wild beasts. With these nutritious intakes, the men would become stronger! That's tantamount to the foundation of the village!
Fredrinn did not concern himself with how the wild beasts were processed; that's the job of the midwives.
"After the platforms are built, I will push forward the importance of education for children and make a set of more organized steps for farming."
"I also want the children to have the necessary foundation to break through to the squire realm."
Although the Village of Peace was rural, it still had its own foundation. One of the ancestors successfully became a baron of the Mystyr Kingdom and was qualified to have a Coal-grade scripture, allowing him to enter the squire realm.
It was still in the Ancestral Graveyard. The reason was the lack of education and talent. Simply put, the villagers after that predecessor were too stupid to know and too untalented to use it.
This secret was conferred from his father after he became an adult; it was mandatory for the son of the village head to know the history of the village.
But now, with Fredrinn as the leading figure, combined with his experience as a lowly soldier of Count Yeldon, he could maximize its potential.
Unlike other lowly soldiers, Fredrinn was keen to the slightest of information he heard of. It was only because of his lack of talent that he couldn't put it to use.
"Now, it's time to turn everyone into squires!"
With a look of excitement and hope for the future, Fredrinn went to his bedroom and softly hugged his pregnant wife, who cooed at his presence.
In the morning, after kissing his wife, Fredrinn came to the elders and requested them to open the Ancestral Graveyard to retrieve the Coal-grade scripture.
At first, they firmly rejected it. It wasn't until he offered the reason that they immediately rushed towards the Ancestral Graveyard and urged the men to dig the Baron's resting place.
Fredrinn was speechless.
After getting the scripture, the elders looked at him expectantly. They asked respectfully if they could watch him practicing the scripture. At this, Fredrinn easily agreed. With this last step, he wouldn't be doubted by anyone anymore, establishing his absolute authority over the village.
Soon, he began to focus on cultivating.
The path of power in the fantasy world was centralized in one thing: pure energy! To enter the transcendent path, one must be able to attract pure energy into their system.
The rate of attraction of these systems relied on fate's cruelness called talents. It was also because of this that Fredrinn was just a mere sacrificial soldier.
But now, as he practiced the scripture, the difference was apparent. Over a hundred times!
With his accumulation, in an hour, Fredrinn easily broke through to the squire realm!
His strength was directly doubled, capable of exerting over 100,000 kg! Unless a Grand Knight came to suppress him, he was basically invincible!
The elders stumbled in excitement as they sensed the immense strength within Fredrinn. They smiled ear to ear, increasing their wrinkles.
Soon, Fredrinn began to urge the midwives to feed their children with the nutritious wild beast's meat. He also shared the meat with all of the villagers, wanting them to increase their strength quickly.
Some caught on quickly and bowed respectfully towards Fredrinn. Compared to his father, Fredrinn was simply too giving and just!
After another month of development, roughly built platforms of the Hall of Education and Agriculture Field were established, and they were officially opened.
With Ryly and Lez each leading the development of these divisions, Fredrinn was not worried.
The movements were swift, and soon, in just a week, children began to attend the Hall of Education to learn the things Fredrinn deemed mandatory. Many midwives and white maidens also came to the Agriculture Field to help the development of wheat and other feedstocks.
With Lez's talent, the development was expected to skyrocket in the next few years!
With this, all of the villagers have their part to do, not wasting any manpower available.
It was also at this time that a bunch of men came to the village to harass them. It was futile, as the villagers of the Village of Peace were simply too strong after their training; 5 men were enough to suppress them!
Fredrinn simply gathered 10 men, including Ter, and commanded.
"Ter, lead others and raid the Rein Village. Force them to surrender, and if anyone dares to resist, kill the men, turn the women into breeding grounds, and brainwash the children with Ryly's help."
Fredrinn's eyes turned cold and ruthless; towards his enemies, he offered no mercy. He knew well that his source of power came from the population, and a chance to increase its numbers cannot be missed.
He also wasn't a simple person; to survive as a sacrificial guard in Count Yeldon's territory for over a decade, he not only had to be cruel towards others, he also had to be cruel towards himself!
Ter and his men did not comment. In their opinion, the Rein Village was a generational enemy that could not live under the same sky as them; there was no need to be sentimental!
With Ter leading the strongest men of the village, subduing the Rein Village was simply a piece of cake. He doesn't even need to come; that would be an overkill.
Fredrinn also understood that this would not be the only time.
To reach the peak, conquering other forces is a must.
With a resolute heart, Fredrinn marched ahead.
His temperament slowly changed from a selfish man to a decisive leader!
