THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 554 Depression

And after one hour, the two hundred brave soldiers returned victorious. Immediately the crowd started to cheer for them.

"Welcome back!"

"Thank you for fighting bravely."

"That was brilliant."

"General! Your wind sucking technique is amazing!"

"Those dragons are amazing!"

They started to cheer in their own way. They supported the brave warriors who returned after grand victory. Rick and his soldiers received the cheers while shaking their hands. They smiled along with the crowd. They felt proud when they saw how the crows were cheering for them. They also joined them as they started to share their experience on the battlefield.

But they still needed to report the events to the committee. So they took their leave after brief interaction with the crowd. But even when the soldiers were leaving, they didn't stop cheering for them. The cheering dimmed down as they were going away from the crowd.

There were some youngsters among those two hundred soldiers who were reluctant to leave. But they knew their discipline. They knew that they had to report about the war to the committee. So, even though they wanted to enjoy the cheers from the crowd, they still left.

.....

Inside the meeting hall of the City Lord Manor, the Six Pavilion Lords and the Committee leaders were sitting on their chair. Those who didn't know Jimmy in the past were having the normal expression. But there were still the likes of the Six Pavilion Lords who were having the facial expression full of shock and astonishment.

They never believed that they could win the war with just two hundred soldiers. In fact, when Jimmy sent these two hundred people, they were hoping for a miracle. But even in this miracle, they were hoping for the victory with as few casualties as possible. But too much for the hope for miracle, their soldiers returned victorious. And most importantly, they came back be clean sweeping the enemy camp. And that is also without any casualities.

There soldiers came out with some minor injuries. But it can be overlooked. After all, the injuries are minor. After some treatment and some rest, they will be fine. So they didn't bother about the injuries too much.

Andrew sighed and said, "Brother! Be honest. You knew that we would win without any casualties, right?"

"That's right!" ,Bill also sighed and said, "You knew that two hundred people are enough, right?"

They were depressed. Who were they? They were proud Generals undre City Lord Ferlin! What exactly didn't they see in their journey? They saw many twists in the war. Countless turnarounds, betrayal, cruelty and harsh reality. But this kind of clean sweep was first for them. But even after all their achievements, they never had created any miracles. But Jimmy was creating miracles very constantly.

In fact, since the moment Jimmy and his companions joined their meeting, all they witnessed is nothing but miracles. And they keep seeing these miracles more often.

"I know." ,Jimmy shook his head in disappointment and said, "But there were some mistakes in Rick's Generals.h.i.+p! This point disappointed me."

The six Pavilion Lords were speechless. Brother, you have already created miracle, alright! Winning a war against five thousand bandits with just two hundred soldiers disappointed you? Then what about our past achievements? Would they look like a fairytale for you? If it wasn't us, and if it was someone else in our place, then how would they react?

Sigh!

The six Pavilion Lords were furthur depressed. Jimmy's sentence was like a faceslapping for all their past achievements. But they don't want to argue on this. Because, most importantly, they knew taht today's victory's credit goes to Jimmy. Even though it was Rick who took the responsibility of the Generals.h.i.+p, the one who arranged for the war is still Jimmy. So they kept quite.

"Brother! What were those scrolls?" , Daniel asked, "Where exactly they came out from? And most importantly, how did the dragons came out from those scrolls? And why are those Dragons so powerful?"

"I don't know." ,Jimmy shook his head and said, "I don't know where did they come from. Probably, they are one of my brother's recent creations! Only he could create such strange things!"

The six Pavilion Lords were once again depressed. Brother! You are already a monster for us. And it looks like, your brother is such a talented freak! Another creation? What do you mean by another creation? Do you know just what degree of talent one need to create something? And yet, your brother invents things like making a candy? If it is not talent, then what about those so called Heaven Defying Geniuses in the G.o.d Realm? Your brother will definitely put them in shame for sure.

While they were depressed, the man who put them in depression entered the room. Looking at Arjun who was as confident as ever, the Six Pavilion Lords faces became complicated. They wanted to subconsciously dodge his gaze.

Arjun said, "It looks like we won."

Even though both Arjun and Jimmy are practically one, in order to avoid suspicion, they had to communicate as if they are two separate ent.i.ties. That's why, Arjun asked as if he wasn't certain.

"It's only natural." ,Jimmy said, "How did the cla.s.s go?"

"Excellent!" ,Arjun praised them as he said, "They had thirst for knowledge. This is excellent. They learned the concept very quickly."

"Hmm!" ,Jimmy still pretended to ask as if he don't know what Arjun want, "Do you want any help?"

"Actually, Yes." ,Arjun said, "I want the Mining for the Resonance Steel to be sped up. The current pace would be used up in no time. We need man power to speed up the mining process. Or else, we can't ma.s.s produce the Army of Constructs!"

"You are right!" ,Bill thought for a moment and said, "If we can't ma.s.s produce the Army of Construct, then our chance for winning the wars against other Cities won't increase."

"Blackwood Bandit Group might be strong." ,At that time, Andrew said, "But they only had an army of just five thousand bandits. But a City Lord would have an army of at least fifty thousand soldiers! And this number is a minimum one. We don't know the exact number of the strongest City Lord out there. We need to be prepared."
