Chapter 2 - Recruitment

Blank is also taken away by the royal guards because of the king's edict as it is ordered to recruit all the kids between the age of 8 and 13, so their mindset as a warrior can be trained at a young age and also to find some potential summoners among them.

Two tall figures were standing at the corner of the camp, one of them is the commander of the royal guards and another is the 5th prince of the deluech kingdom.

The commander is a high ranking warrior with a strong build, he has joined countless wars and many dangerous tower expeditions but he emerged victorious each time earning himself the rank of the commander.

Whereas the prince is a magic swordsman, his body pales in comparison to that of the commander but in terms of combat prowess the prince has many advantages.

"It seems the king has already made plans for raiding the 100th floor again", the commander asked the prince.

"Ah, yes his majesty recently heard a prophecy claiming the rise of a young dragon summoner", the prince spoke with a gentle smile on his face.

When the commander heard the words of the prince his body started to shiver. Just the thought of imagining a human being capable of summoning a dragon is absurd.

The commander would've just laughed it off as a joke if it happened to be someone else who said those words but right now it was the prince himself who delivered this news to him.

The prince is just below the king in terms of hierarchy and not just that but they also stand a chance to become the future king themselves and rule the entire kingdom.

The commander is left speechless after hearing the words of the prince.

"Would this be the last batch of new recruits from this region?", the prince looked towards the royal guards bringing about 30 kids sitting on a wagon towards the camp.

Some of their faces showed expressions of fear, doubt, anger and confusion.

"Ah yes, it is", the commander verified it for the prince.

After hearing that the prince jumped on the back of his horse and left towards the direction of the other regions.

Two guards followed the prince as they were assigned the duty to keep him safe.

Three days later, five hundred and seventy kids from the same region as blank were brought to a war camp responsible for training of the new recruits.

Although all the new recruits would generally be older than 13 but this is the first time an exception was made due to the king's edict.

The 8 years old blank was brought out on the battlefield at such an early age, how would he survive in this harsh world?

Within 7 days the royal guards delivered hundreds of wagons filled with thousands of kids at the army camp.

The next day, all the kids are gathered into a general assembly area, a few hours later a blonde haired man, the 5th prince of the deluech kingdom entered the stage.

"I adam deluech, the 5th prince of the deluech kingdom shall oversee this military camp for the next 4 years. All of you have been gathered here to re-write history and become one of the first warriors who shall take part in the great battle to conquer the 100th floor of the destiny tower, 10 years from now. Keep training day and night till you are no longer able to lift a finger, deserters shall be beheaded on the spot".

The speech of the price inspired many recruits to train harder and pursue strength whereas the weak hearted ones who planned to run away shivered on the very thought of getting beheaded.
