Adolf woke up early in the morning as it was a "harvest and replanting" day, he was wearing black pants along with boots of the same color, his torso was bare while his gray hair swayed in the morning breeze, as he walked down the street. his destiny he recorded a conversation he had with a gentleman from Rhyfel some time ago.
- - - - - - - - - -
"So you are saying that the four generals of the War Sovereign are so strong?"
Adolfo asked doubtfully.
"If that's right, they not only possess tremendous strength but also have highly refined instincts along with rich combat experience, if you young leader tried to face them with your current strength you would surely die."
Said the knight of Rhyfel, upon hearing his words a frown appeared on Adolf's face, naturally to reach the War Sovereign he had to pass over his four generals but if he couldn't even face them he would fight against the War Sovereign. War would only be a joke.
"Can you give me information about them? I would like to know what we are facing, it doesn't matter if they are small details as long as knowing a little about them is better than not knowing anything, after all the only thing I fear in this world is facing The unknown".
Rhyfel's knight nodded before beginning to tell everything he knew about the four generals.
"First general is the sword of thunder, Sir Keiran Crowley, as his name indicates he is a magical swordsman who uses thunder magic but what would stand out the most about him would be his sword and how it works".
"His sword from him?"
Adolf asked intrigued, the Rhyfel knight nodded before continuing to speak.
"His sword was made up of small fragments that together formed a complete blade, the name of his sword was [The Thousand Fragments] and as the name implies it was made up of a thousand fragments made from a special mineral. Sir Keiran used his magic of thunder for his sword to stay together or separate as he likes, the sword fragments will not only be able to attack but also used for defense and mobility.
If he wanted to attack, he would shoot the charged fragments of his thunder magic to finish off his enemy incredibly quickly, if he wanted to defend, he would use the fragments together with his magic to create a thunder net that would serve as a shield, finally if he wanted to use To move I have heard that there were two ways to do it, the first would be to use the fragments to create platforms in the air and thus be able to fly without even using wind magic, the second I am totally unaware of since I was not part of his regiment".
Adolf was totally stunned by the description of Keiran Crowley's abilities, it was simply unimaginable that he could create such things with magic, he had no idea how talented one must be to do such a thing.
"Are you alright, young leader? From one moment to the next he went blank."
"I'm fine, please continue."
Rhyfel's knight had doubts but still continued.
"The second general is the invisible archer, Ainsley Ash, he/she used a special bow that allowed arrows to be shot at a much greater distance than usual, his title was given thanks to his magic that turned him/her into an invisible being, I already know his smell, heat, aura, his figure and even his mana was totally covered by his magic hence his title, among the four generals it is said that he/she possessed the best eyesight and there was even a rumor that his eyesight was so good that he could see a total distance of 100 kilometers if he/she put his mind to it".
"Why do you always say "he/she" every time you mention his gender? Don't you know if he is male or female?"
"No, I don't know" the Rhyfel knight sighed as he shook his head "Ainsley Ash no one knows what she looks like, her age, much less if she is a man or a woman since she always has her magic active, our lord says. knows all those details but it is unknown if that is true or not".
Adolf nodded confirming that he understood, although the information about Ainsley Ash was less "impressive" in certain ways compared to Keiran Crowley's was more terrifying in other ways, just knowing that he/she is totally invisible and his firing range is absurdly high could scare even the bravest person, since one could die without even knowing when, how or for whom he died...
"Third General Haakon Edvardsen, the Iron Fortress, he was well known for having the best defense among the four generals under our lord's command, employing water magic to absorb and disperse the impact of attacks while simultaneously He uses it to relieve the fatigue of his body and heal wounds, I can proudly say that I was part of his regiment and although it is a pity I can no longer use the abilities that I possessed".
Adolf lifted an eyebrow for the last comment but nothing out of the ordinary, when the gentleman from Rhyfel was about to talk about the fourth general his atmosphere changed completely.
"The fourth general... the invincible soldier... Kósmo Athanasious... he... he was simply indescribable..." .
The voice trembled and fear leaked in such a way that Adolf knew he wasn't faking it, he really feared Kósmo Athanasious, even if he was only talking about him the fear he felt didn't diminish in the slightest.
"Strength... speed... stamina... or abilities no one knew anything about him, not even his own regiment knew much about him, the only thing that was known about him was that he was the first of the four generals to serve under the command of our lord, no one, not even the generals themselves, knew anything about him, they had not even heard him speak."
Adolf frowned as he further listened to the Rhyfel knight's words.
'Kósmo Athanasious... is dangerous.'
Adolf thought but at that moment the voice of Rhyfel's knight brought him back to reality.
"There was a rumor in the early years of Rhyfel's formation... the rumor was that the three generals Keiran Crowley, Aínsley Ash and Haakon Edvardsen had all faced Kósmo Athanasious together... ".
"Who won?":
Adolf asked curiously.
"Keiran Crowley... Ainsley Ash... Haakon Edvardsen...".
Adolf more or less expected that result since according to what he had heard about those three his abilities were impressive, but the next thing he heard made his blood freeze.
"...The three of them... lost completely... they couldn't even put up a fight before Kósmo Athanasious beat them all... ".
- - - - - - - - - -
While Adolf recalled that conversation with the Rhyfel knight, he did not realize that he had reached his destination, in front of him was a complete structure, undestroyed, but it did not look old but had been built recently, this was something that Adolf had created later. a few weeks from reaching the intermediate ring of Rhyfel.
The structure measured 10x10 meters with 5 meters high, with a jump Adolf managed to reach the top of the structure, inside it looked like a prison but what was inside were not humans or burned knights but other creatures that Adolf knew disgustingly well , were goblins, at least 100 of them inside the structure.
But there were some strange things if one paid attention, like among the goblins they were all female and the second thing was that they didn't fight or even behave like goblins, they behaved correctly like children between the ages of 8-12 years old, to a certain degree of self-awareness and the world that surrounds them... but the strangest thing was that everything was clean, there was no waste such as urine or excrement around the place.
Adolf's eyes wandered around the place before taking a goblin that among his peers seemed the most "beautiful" but was still disgusting.
The goblins trembled especially the one that had just been selected, they all knew that it was about to happen since they had witnessed it before, she was going to be killed to later be devoured, not even the bones would be exempt from that fate.
Adolf dragged the female goblin about two hundred meters from the goblin prison, the more he looked at the goblin in front of him the more complex his gaze became but he knew there was no other way, mana stones were something essential to him and it was a resource finite within Rhyfel, with everything he had hunted within the outer and intermediate ring he obtained a total of 1,000 manastones ranging from bottom rank to low rank.
The worst of the matter was that he accidentally killed all the male goblins within the inner and outer ring leaving only female goblins without the ability to continue reproducing, as it was these would be the last manastones of him...
'My God... give me strength for what I'm going to do.'
Suddenly Adolf dropped his pants and with a face of disgust accepted the fate that was to come...
[The Gods have been stunned by your actions]
[The Gods look at you with doubtful eyes and ask you to please stop]
- - - - - - - - - -
After the "act" Adolf sat not far from the female goblin, this compared to before had a bulging belly, although no more than thirty minutes had passed, she was about to give birth, patiently Adolf waited for new goblins to be born and his wait did not last too long since after only a few minutes 5 elves were born.
The female elves were always in the ovulation period, it can also be said that their gestation period is only a few hours, it is not for nothing that they are known as the most fertile race.
But immediately Adolf noticed something strange about them, compared to normal goblins that had hideous features and bodies along with green skin full of lumpy blemishes these were certainly different, his features weren't hideous but not pretty either and his skin was a paler green as the lumpy blemishes decreased in quantity and size, he definitely looked better than the average goblin.
'Do they look like this because I am a full blood vampire and they carry traces of my bloodline? Also the mana from their bodies is considerably higher than normal goblins… interesting in a way.'
Adolf then killed the goblin mother with a wave of his hand before extracting her manastone and putting it away, also grabbing the newborn goblins before taking them to the prison to wait for them to be ready to "harvest".
Adolf repeated the same process with half of the captive goblins leaving half alive to take care of the newborns, although this would be for a short time since within 15-30 days these newborns would already be adults.
But that was not the only thing that Adolf did, but he also left them a considerable amount of meat so that these children would grow well since the elves did not consume milk as food in their infant state but ate meat, the worst part was that this meat that the children would feed on would be their mother's meat, they were literally eating their mother.
Adolf left without even caring about that, he just waited for time to pass so he could reap the fruits of his "work", while he returned to the base a series of messages arrived before his eyes.
[Certain Gods look at you with complicated eyes]
[The [Light of Eternal Glory] watches you with complicated eyes, kindly asks you to please don't commit such a vulgar act again]
[The [Ruler of the Underworld] admires your tenacity and willpower, he thinks that even though it's unpleasant and tacky it's not a bad idea]
[The [Heavenly Wolf, Sirius] looks at you with indifferent eyes, looking forward to the time of your fight against the four generals of the War Sovereign]
'Damn Gods'.
He cursed at Adolf before turning to continue walking.
