Karl couldn't fault Hawk for that one. Bird to bird, they were a hundred times his size, and they likely had a number of nasty tricks for dealing with other flying predators that they hadn't used against the humans.

false. corn snakes are AMAZING pets and have an incredible temperament. but like any other reptile, they scare easy so they can be a little "aggressive" to make you back away. which mostly looks like strikes with no real biting unless you grabbed them, in which case they believe they have to fight for their lives
"And give my mom a heart attack? I don't think so. But we always had wild corn snakes in the yard, taking care of the earth mice. They're not what you would call friendly, but they keep pests under control, and that makes it hard to dislike them.

The total output of the generators was off the charts, and the panel couldn't properly measure the output. With the improvements that Wolfe had made, the one reactor was already outputting half of what the entire facility should.

made me think of this haha
Valerie nodded. "There will be plenty of time. After the scare that you gave High Command, who didn't realize that your group had been tasked to take out the Royal Rank target alone, they're not going to let you go scouting alone again.

it serves as a prequel to summoner. it's a short read at a little over 300 chapters, but a goodie! those 2 books will give you all the details you could possibly need
But more importantly, with them, we had the six High Priests necessary to cast a resurrection ritual. Tori should reappear somewhere familiar to her in the next forty-eight hours."

I think Karl is boosting everyone's system to get better results of exp farming compared to "normal" training
But more imminently, Karl noticed that everyone in the group was becoming much more powerful than they had been when they started the battles. Officially, practice did help the growth rate, but it was supposed to have more to do with the individual how rapidly they advanced unless they were using some sort of magical aid.

IT JUST CLICKED! DRAZZIT IS THE SUMMONED DARK ELF THAT HELPS CAIN AND CREW NAVIGATE THAT BURIED CITY IN THE DESERT! Is this drazzit a descendent?
The Dark Elf looked confused. That was not what the word politics meant in her language. Anything from treachery or assassination to simple bribery was all politics.

this hurts a little each time I read it: "I don't wanna die. screw the ethics, screw the indoctrination, screw the legality. Please. I just want to live."
[Cascading failures deemed unacceptable. Loyalty subroutines damaged. The ethical sub-processor is damaged and offline. The legal database is offline. Please advise. This unit does not wish to become inactive.] The Pilot responded, then stepped off the fallen Mecha and out onto the grass.

it occurs to me now rereading this that it would be like recurring highschool: start as a freshman with 3 years of senior students, go through your 4 years with junior students following after you, only to graduate and repeat the process all over again with most likely the exact same groups of seniors ahead of and juniors behind you
Each of the other towers would also contain four years of students, keeping them somewhat within their age groups within the academy, but the classroom and common areas would let them mingle outside their dorm towers with ease.

who's ready for bureaucratic BS?
[I will pass it out once we get to the wagons. That will keep everyone occupied as we travel, so they don't panic when the patrols attack us.]

What he found was a small room with a few dozen liquor barrels and a dozen Satyr children, huddled together in terror, and looking malnourished far beyond what two days in a hiding hole would justify.

That news was a shock all through the Command Structure. There was something definitely amiss with this double strength group, but none of them were privy to the details of the group's strength, other than their official rankings.

At this point I'm physically hurled out the window and into the street, landing in the laughing arms of Elder Song.

I caught this the first time but forgot about this haha "Ponce De Leon"
"Lead Negotiator Ponce, how might I help you?" She asked from the elevator to the bunker, unwilling to step out into the body-littered field.

"We will leave this afternoon after we have confirmation from the Reavers that they know what we are up to and that they don't object to our deal. I can't see them making a fuss, even if this ally is so rural. I know our soldiers well enough to know that the women of this planet will be very popular among men of a certain proclivity."

That was enough for Karl, but Hawk and his opinion that beasts were better teammates than humans had stuck in Remi's head, and she wanted to prove to Karl that he could rely on her, even if she was still small.

According to their beliefs, the World Dragon had not been born as a world Dragon, and he had actually been an Ancient Eldritch Being, from the species that had helped create many of the worlds that the Great Pantheons ruled over. They believed that it was only when he decided to devote himself to protecting the world that the World Dragon had changed forms, taking on the aspects that were needed to obtain divinity and grant his blessing over the world.
