A few dozen minutes later.
All the soldiers had gathered in front of the gate of the capital of Aurora with William and the generals.
William stood up a few feet above the ground for all to see.
"I'm going to give you good news and bad news, the good news is that we have found the location of the people living in Aurora, the bad news is that they are probably all in the Zaran capital."
At first, the faces of countless soldiers beamed as they anticipated the reunion with their loved ones, but their hopes were quickly shattered with the second part of the sentence.
Most of the soldiers' faces were tense, as most of them were still unaware of the perpetrators of this event, as there were no obvious clues in their inspection area. Then after a few seconds of reflection, their faces filled with despair, as many of them had difficulty controlling their emotions. Many of them stared at the ground in an attempt to regain their composure.
This situation is quite normal, because 90% of the soldiers here lived in Aurora with their families, which means that from now on, they will never see their loved ones again.
William continued after a few seconds had passed.
"So we are going to destroy the Zaran capital and save all the humans in it."
This time, surprise was written on the faces of all the soldiers. Then their faces became extremely firm and each of them gave off an extremely heavy and deadly aura. None of them knew about William's plan, they didn't even know about William's system and talent and they all thought that this battle would be a complete suicide. None of them were fools, this war has been going on for over 100,000 years, it's not going to end today! They just wanted to drag some Zaran with them to hell during this battle, because they had nothing left to lose.
William was very pleased with this situation, as a few soldiers were showing signs of breaking through, which meant more fighting power in this upcoming battle.
In just a few seconds, at least 10% of the ranks (F+) present here were experiencing overwhelming changes in their bodies.
Ten minutes later, these (F+) ranks were all feeling much more ferocious than before. They transcended their ranks and rose to (E-) rank!
That was 80 (E-) rank soldiers!
Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy to reach (E-) rank, these soldiers were already close to a breakthrough thanks to solid foundations and countless battles. So it didn't mean that the other soldiers had less willpower than the new ranks (E-), they just hadn't accumulated enough willpower before!
William waited another minute for each soldier to make the most of this rare opportunity to advance rapidly in strength. So a silence fell as several hundred human soldiers gathered countless thoughts before converging on one: kill as many Zaran as possible!
"Listen to me, I don't intend to die in this battle," William said calmly after waiting a minute.
This time, the soldiers still felt only one emotion: anger! All their previous admiration for this young man's strength instantly faded. Some of the soldiers even felt disdain for William.
But William knew that this was only temporary.
"Today you will all experience an earth-shattering change in your destiny. Today you will become the first soldiers of the future most powerful army in the universe. From today we will fight together in the four corners of the universe and face the tens of thousands of races to finally stand on top of the universe!"
This time, the soldiers could almost not stand William anymore. They were all wondering:
"How could we follow and admire such a fool and dreamer. How can our Queen just stand there and say nothing in the face of such absurd talk."
But some of the intelligent soldiers at the front, including the 12 patriarchs of the city, began to take William's words seriously. For they saw no reaction from their Queen and all the generals following this young man. Instead there was even excitement?
William slowly descended from the sky after this sentence and instead the 5 generals of rank (D-) all went up to the sky, because William could only assign two roles for the moment: General and Supreme General.
The soldiers were all surprised to see so many people flying, because this is the proof of a man in the ranks (D-). When did the ranks (D-) become so common? Just yesterday, only their Queen was in the (D-) rank, he was already surprised to see another (D-) rank in a small town but now there were 4 more! Most of them had already noticed the events outside the walls, but they could not have guessed that this was the reaction of the environment when a rank (E+) was promoted to rank (D-)!
The 5 generals raised their hands and 5 gray clouds appeared in the sky. A few seconds later, raindrops fell on all the soldiers.
When the first raindrop came in contact with a soldier, he heard a strange sound in his mind.
Ding

[You have unlocked the soldier's store and can open it at any time].

The soldier unconsciously thought about the statistics page and a translucent page appeared in front of him.

"What the hell is this?" exclaimed Jacob, the first soldier to be hit by a raindrop.
A cold, robotic voice answered him in his mind.
[I am the system].
The raindrops began to make contact with many soldiers very quickly.
Various soldiers on the ground began to interrogate the system in their minds.
After the 720 rank and file soldiers (F+), the 80 new rank and file soldiers (E-), the 75 non-commissioned officers (E-), the 22 rank and file officers (E), and the 12 rank and file generals (E+) had made contact with the system, William's generals came down to the ground and stood behind him.
"Talk to the system if you need information, it will answer each of your questions as best it can. Said William, transmitting his voice to the ears of each soldier.
After the generals and William waited a few minutes for the soldiers to finish talking to the system, William repositioned himself a few feet above the ground, drawing everyone's attention.
"Every second that passes is a second of suffering for your family and friends who have been captured by the Zarans. So now every second is precious and every second must be used conscientiously," William said.
"So we will quickly improve our strength to be able to face the millions of Zaran and annihilate their capital. For this, the system is indispensable because it will take you to a parallel hell in which you will experience countless battles of life and death. I hope you are ready soldiers!" William continued.
All the soldiers were ashamed of their previous thoughts about William, the disdain disappeared and was replaced once again by respect and admiration. And this time, these feelings were countless times greater than the previous ones!
All the soldiers fell to their knees and shouted in unison:
"We are ready to overcome all the obstacles that will stand in our way!"
William nodded his head slightly.
