A few minutes later, a soldier in a sergeant's uniform entered the office. He saluted the lieutenant.“Lieutenant, you called for me.”Lieutenant Andrew nodded toward the sergeant.“Yes, Sergeant Wyatt. This is your new team member. He will join your squad.”He forwarded the file where Alex’s details were filled.“Your unit is perfect for him, as his strength matches your squad's soldiers. But try not to send him to difficult areas at the beginning. Training him properly will be beneficial for our department.”Sergeant Wyatt looked toward Alex, then nodded.“Yes, I will train him properly.”Lieutenant Andrew looked at Alex and pointed at the sergeant.“Sergeant Wyatt, take this recruit to get his uniform and show him his quarters.”Sergeant Wyatt came toward Alex and saluted Lieutenant Andrew.“Yes, Lieutenant.”Alex followed Wyatt to a residential area where Wyatt opened a door.“This will be your place to stay. You should arrange the bed and clothes neatly every day. Sometimes highe

Alex considered his situation, then thought about the coup in which he had been framed.“I wasn’t involved in my family’s schemes, but who was it that framed me? I didn’t even have any enemies. Ever since I regained my past-life memories, I have tried to avoid royal family affairs as much as possible so why target me?”He then thought of his mother.“She hasn’t cared about me for as long as I can remember. Why was I reborn into a royal family? Wouldn’t it have been better to be born into an ordinary family?”Alex felt that being cast out of the royal family might have been the best thing to happen in this life.The next morning, Alex went to the cafeteria and saw his unit already eating.He joined them after all, he would be here for who knew how long.“Hello, everyone. My name is Alex.”The other soldiers looked at him. They had assumed Alex came from a prominent family and were initially wary, but they had seen him work hard on the battlefield. Yesterday, they hadn’t had a chance to

Alex listened, but he felt these were fabricated tales. After all, powerful warriors could live far longer than ordinary humans. He had heard of a few in the palace who were over two hundred years old.He then thought of the elders he had met during his talent test.“Those elders seemed more powerful than the general I met upon arriving here. Could it be that even stronger warriors remain within the palace, or that the army’s most powerful are stationed elsewhere?”He turned back to John. “So how did they fight back against these monsters back then?”John looked at him as if remembering something himself.“Actually, that’s where the first president of the human council comes in. Among everyone, he was the first to discover the path of the warrior. He shared that knowledge with the kings, and the powerful kingdoms supported him. As for the monsters, they weren’t as strong then as they are now.”Alex considered the idea of spiritual energy, but when practicing martial arts to break thro

Lucy heard the words but wasn’t surprised after all, everyone knew students were only allowed to stay in groups.“Sir, I was with my group, but during the fight with the monster, I let my emotions get the best of me. I started chasing a 2nd-level monster, and when I finally killed it, I was already in this area. Just as I was about to return, a 3rd-level monster attacked me, which led to my current situation.”Hearing this, Alex felt that emotions could be a significant problem for warriors. Fighting emotionally could leave one vulnerable to traps or ambushes during battle.“Okay, you can go back. You’re not in good condition to fight monsters right now.”Alex watched Lucy’s departing figure, then turned to another area to search for injured soldiers.Time passed, but the battle showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.Alex, already exhausted, sat outside the base watching soldiers come and go, but he didn’t see anyone he knew.Just as he was thinking of returning to the battlefield,
