Everyone was stunned beyond words.
As it turned out, the God of War did not take them seriously at all, to begin with, and he had long had a plan ready to deal with them.
“God of War, we’re ready to receive your punishment!” Grover responded.
“Very well. Brom now on you guys are only allowed to carry out legal business!”
“We can do that!”
“You guys are not allowed to kill recklessly!”
“We can do that!”
“On the other hand, I want a share of your business profit to fund the military expense, and you have to do that every year from now on. Are you okay with that?”
“I’m okay!”
Grover agreed without hesitation.
Levi glanced at the martial arts masters of the union and commented, “All of you here are abusing your talents by using it to bully people who aren’t physically trained. Don’t you guys feel ashamed of that? You guys should’ve just joined the frontline to defend the country! It will be a waste of your talent to stay here doing nothing!”
“All men in Erudia should be men of indomitable spirits whose priority is contributing to the country. This applies even more so for all of you here who possess immense talent!”
Everyone glanced at one another dazedly as they slowly began to understand what Levi’s plan was all about.
Firstly, he wanted them to surrender all the dirty money they had earned over the years to fund the army.
Secondly, he wanted all of the martial arts masters to join the army and contribute to the country.
“Are you guys not willing to do that?” Levi questioned them with a smile.
“We’re willing to join the army!”
“In fact, I’m getting tired of this quiet life I’ve been leading! I should have joined the army sooner to defend my country!”
“Yes, I should use my talent at the right place!”
Levi’s words received a positive response from them.
In fact, some among them did not think that joining the army a great idea, but in the presence of the God of War, they had no choice but to agree.
Excitement was surging in Levi’s blood when he stared at the crowd of martial arts masters in front of him.
He started picturing a troop formed by them and what sort of effect that would have.
He was sure they would be invincible!
They would be undefeatable especially in carrying out ambushes and invasions.
Since every single one of them possessed their own unique skill, he believed they would be able to dominate the battlefield.
Right at that moment, the war at the country’s south border happened to be in a critical situation.
If he dispatched a troop consisting of the members of the Southern Union there, he was sure they would be able to make a huge difference.
This had been his plan all along.
“Since every one of you has agreed to join the army, I’ll start briefing you guys about what’s next!” “I’ll line you guys up and form a troop with the name of ‘Beasts’, and I’ll be the direct commander of it.”
“You guys are to gather at the South Warzone tomorrow where each and every one of you will go through a special training!” “During the training, you guys will be helped to get rid of your bad habits and will gain military knowledge to become a better soldier!” Levi announced.
Although these guys were talented, they were still amateurish.
Hence, he would entrust Kirin with the duty of transforming them into an invincible troop.
“Understood!” all of them shouted in unison.
The thought of becoming soldiers directly under the command of the God of War had never occurred to any of them.
Even those who were unwilling to join the army just now started counting themself lucky because they had landed the dream job for many of the male population within the country.
On the other hand, Levi did not compel the Four Kings and the Six Slaves into joining him, because after all, they worked directly for Grover.
At the same time, he needed to count on them to generate more profit to fund his army.
Just like that, Southern Union was tamed by Levi in the most unexpected fashion.
After getting it done, Levi returned to the office appearing as though nothing much had taken place.
To his surprise, Zoey came to visit him.
“Can we talk?”
It was only reasonable for her to be suspicious of the things that had happened so fast lately.
Hence, she saw the need to ask for an explanation from Levi.
When she arrived at his room, she confronted him, “Levi Garrison, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?”
The air was charged with tension in an instant.
