A large wooden cubicle structure suddenly materialized out of thin air, dropping heavily into the dirt floor of the tent. Adrian looked around. The inside of his command tent really wasn’t big enough to comfortably hold the massive structure without making everything cramped.
He placed his hand on the wood, and the cubicle instantly disappeared back into his dungeon storage.
He walked outside the tent and snapped his fingers again. The wooden cubicle reappeared right beside his tent, settling perfectly onto the grtound.
He touched the wooden frame once more and activated his Dungeon Door skill, permanently linking the enclosed space to his massive underground Oresfall dungeon.
He turned back and looked at Leo, who had followed him outside.
"You can go directly into my dungeon using this door," Adrian explained. "Though, do keep in mind that the monsters inside this dungeon will actually be hostile toward you. They won’t just stand there like that bird did, so have fun. If you want, feel free to take a few soldiers with you. They’ll help you level up safely."
Leo nodded, though he immediately started wondering how the hell he was supposed to convince actual soldiers to follow a weak kid like him into a monster den.
But then Adrian suddenly spoke up again.
"Wait, why don’t you just go with Wang Lei?" Adrian suggested, pointing at the quiet man standing nearby. "You two can just get to know each other while Wang Lei helps you fight. This idiot also needs some real-life battle experience, so I think it will be a good way to do things."
Leo nodded eagerly. He reached out, opened the door to the cubicle, and stepped inside. Wang Lei silently followed right behind him, pulling the wooden door shut.
Adrian just stood there and looked at the closed cubicle for a few seconds.
He muttered to himself under his breath.
"I thought they would at least ask for a weapon, or some armor, or literally anything before just walking into a dungeon," Adrian whispered in disbelief. "I don’t know if these guys are just reckless, overly confident, or just complete fucking idiots."
He let out a sigh and shrugged.
"Welp, whatever. Wang Lei is with him. I don’t think anything too bad will happen."
Adrian turned away from the cubicle and walked over toward the center of the camp.
Thousands of his soldiers were currently standing at attention. They were holding their formations perfectly, but their minds were clearly wandering after the chaotic events of the day.
Adrian glanced over at Celeste’s medical tent for a brief second to make sure the S-rank knight was being treated before he turned his full attention to his army.
He raised his hand high in the air just to grab everyone’s attention.
"Soldiers of Oresfall!" Adrian yelled.
The entire camp instantly snapped back to reality. Every single pair of eyes locked onto Adrian, and the idle chatter and wandering thoughts completely vanished.
"It is time to get ready for war," Adrian declared. "It is time to take over this land. And it is time to officially establish our own Kingdom!"
The thousands of soldiers raised their boots at the exact same time and stomped down hard into the dirt in perfect unison. They raised their spears and rifles high into the air.
"All hail Oresfall!" the army roared.
Over the next few days, Adrian sent all of the non-combatants and commoners who had stayed behind in the camp safely back to Oresfall. Along with them, he sent a few soldiers acting as messengers to deliver his new orders.
Adrian stayed right where he was in the war camp for around two entire weeks to keep an eye on his enemies. Roderick had managed to send over 300,000 gold coins already and a letter that basically said that orders were passed to the nobles to send over the family members to Oresfall.
Then after those two weeks of waiting, his main force finally showed up.
The seven thousand men that he had previously sent back to Oresfall had marched back, fully armed and ready to fight.
Adrian stood inside the main command tent and looked at Draven and Frankenstein.
"You guys ready?" Adrian asked.
The two lords nodded sharply.
Adrian turned to look at the other nobles standing in the tent, including Baron Kaldwin, his son Sebastian, and the rest of the nobles who had defected to his side.
"I hope you guys are ready too," Adrian said.
They nodded in agreement, though a few of them looked noticeably nervous.
Adrian walked out of the tent. The only people who actually followed him outside were Draven and Sebastian. The rest of the nobles weren’t really great when it came to frontline combat, so they stayed behind to manage the logistics of the camp.
Adrian walked straight across the fields and headed over to the medical tent where Celeste had been treating the injured S-rank knight Roderick had given him.
When Adrian walked in, he looked at the second person standing in the room. Roderick had delivered on his promise and sent the second S-rank knight from the capital along with the letter and the money.
Adrian looked at the knight who had been resting on the cot.
"Kaelen," Adrian called out. "How are you feeling now?"
The S-rank knight immediately sat up and bowed his head respectfully.
"I feel all right, my lord," Kaelen answered. "I am capable enough to get into a fight right now."
Celeste, who was standing nearby wiping down her herbal tools, chimed in. "Don’t worry about him, Lord Adrian. He’s fully healed."
Adrian nodded in satisfaction.
He turned his attention to the second knight.
It was a woman, and a genuinely pretty one at that. She was noticeably shorter than Claire, but the sheer density of mana radiating off her body was more than enough to tell Adrian that she was incredibly dangerous. An S-rank knight was no different than a super human after all.
