Standing above looking over his new encampment, or base of operation Axel stood with a huge grin across his face. This will be his first time he has to relax since he came to this world. He was very unsure on what he wanted to do in this world, with no goal or path given to him. His thought process was to create chaos in these kingdoms. He didn't want to rule, he didn't want peace, he just wanted to have fun and enjoy life so he wouldn't be bored. With the ability to create a small army his first goal should be to build up this location and create an actual base. Then after he would need to get information without it, no matter what he did he would fail. We would need laborers which now he had 15 and 2 knights, which both knights swore oath to Axel. With the addition of Andy and Teoter Black Squad has reached a total of 5 members. Axelagain made Kairi take charge of the training of Black Squad, while he decided to finally figure out his Skills being locked from earlier.

Axel was literally mind blown, not only has his summoner skill unlocked allowing him to level it up again. He gained 2 brand new classes, Commander and Landowner. Is that the reason summoner I can level up again? It didn't gain any levels so that would mean it unlocked after the fact I gained 2 of the new skills. Wait how do these new classes level up. I would assume by the hints, that maybe the Commander is done by increasing the size of the Black Squad while also increasing its influence? And Landowner would be increasing the amount of land under my control? or maybe increasing the size of the encampment via personnel. I wish i knew what any of this meant Combat, Title, Influence are these sub-classes or are they something else? I'm not exactly sure yet, but it should become a little more clear later. For now I should be able to test the landowner skill a little bit.
P.O.V. Maple
I ended up becoming a recruit of IronHide under the leadership of Axel officially, making me a member of Black Squad under his direct command. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure if I should be happy or very concerned. The fact that i was put in Black Squad made me believe I wouldn't be put in much danger, However, seeing Axel slaughter bandits with the largest grin on his face made me question whether we would get the easy life or actually the most gruesome task. He made me wonder if it was actually the right decision to stay with him and aim for a strong future, or find a new village and sell myself so i can live. Now I can eat without worry, the work may be harder actually a lot harder, but i feel rewarded this 'close combat training" is making me grow confident in myself, after seeing Kairi destroy all the other members of Ironhide.
Our training has gotten to be even more intense, at least for me and Zach, including our earlier basic training we are now required to do martial arts training and disarming our opponents. Eventually, moving on to 1 on 1 duels where we tested our martial arts on each other. Zach being naturally stronger was wiping the floor with me. Everyday though our duels kept lasting longer. The feeling of training actually felt relieving the stress from farming everyday is gone any stress from the training come and goes with the next set of training. The soreness in my body and the feeling of being unable to walk every morning only for that all to slowly disappear over time. I can feel my happiness rising, slowly instilling loyalty to my new home. I feel ever closer to my fellow Ironhides, that even their own personality has been rubbing off on me, their goals to get stronger for a singular cause.
Feeling stronger as the days passed I can feel strength has largely increased to the point even Kairi was impressed at my growth. Today, I've finally defeated that loser bandit, ah sorry I mean Zach in our duel. All this does for me is instill me with a strong willingness to train harder for a means of protecting myself. As another week passes the encampments "Laborers" built a few housing structures and "Militia" buildings while tearing down some of the older ones. The place is looking completely different from before 3 of the men that we freed happened to be carpenters. making this a much faster process. We now have a big enough farm to support everyone here, it might be 6 months before we have crops being grown but Axel has ensured nothing would go wrong with his soldiers hunting for food everyday to help support everyone here. With the bandit storage and the hunting we should be able to stabilize with no problems. However, these are the least of my concerns cause I'm Maple of Black Squad and nothing will stand in my way to become the best for Axel.
