Inside of the carriage, Caesar was twiring around a black coin that had a purple coating, "according to my father, this is the insignia that all licensed businessmen have" He thought to himself quietly.

Caesar looked outside of the carriage window and thought about the upcoming war… "if we lose this battle then our families, the citizens and everyone else will die…." Caesar clenched his teeth tightly and his eyes flashed with determination "I will not allow it!"

About 30 minutes later the carriage reached its destination, Caesar stepped out of the carriage and thanked the driver. The entire street was covered with engineers and blacksmiths creating crossbows and ballista's. In this past week because of the low amount of engineers, blacksmiths from all around the kingdom have come to help.

Caesar walked into the depths of the workshop and found Danny madly scribbling something on a parchment, Caesar walked towards him "How many crossbows have been made thus far?" Danny heard a familiar voice looked up and replied quickly "We have already created 350 Marshall.

"Good work, how about the ballista's?"

"Reporting sir, because of the size we have only been able to create 10"

"That is nothing to scoff at Danny, you have done well"

Caesar sat down on a nearby chair and took out a piece of paper, he placed the paper on the table and straightened it out. "Danny, I have something I want you to make however I only need about three of them"

Danny looked at Caesar with stars in his eyes "Marshall, Anything you ask of me I will complete" Danny said with a serious expression.

Caesar nodded his head after hearing Danny's words. "Good, let's continue. Before I get started I want to let you know there are many different ways to build this weapon each with a different purpose. The way I'm going to show you how to build this is very abstract and different from how it normally should be made"

Caesar said in a patient tone… He continued after he paused for a second "The weapon is called a trebuchet, It makes use of a Mechanical advantage of a lever to throw a projectile. The trebuchet will consist primarily of a long beam attached by an axle suspended high above the ground by a stout frame and base, the reason for this is so that the beam can rotate vertically through a wide arc. A sling is attached to one end of the beam to hold the projectile. Once the lever is pulled the tension of the strings assisted by the large height of the trebuchet will throw the projectiles a far distance"

Danny contemplated for a few minutes then looked at Caesar inquiringly "This device uses similar functions to the ballista, what is going to be so complicated about it"

Caesar smiled deviously before replying "I want it to be able to fling living things"

Danny's jaw dropped and asked Caesar in a baffled tone "M-marshall why would you want to fling people"

"Do you not see the beauty of my vision Danny?"

Danny shook his head slowly and tilted his head "What vision? Is the Marshall thinking about something that I can not comprehend with my limited intelligence" Danny thought to himself quietly and looked at Caesar with admiration

Caesar slowly and subtly pulled out another parchment from his pocket and placed it on the table. And with a completely serious expression said to Danny "Imagine it's night time and you are all eating joyfully. Planning on sieging a castle tomorrow but all of a sudden, a flying flame bear lands in your camp and starts attacking you"

Caesar's new illustration had a large bear being propelled by the trebuchet, "I have even registered this as a new military unit. I call them the bear brigade"

Danny looked at Caesar with shining eyes "absolutely genius Marshall, only someone of your caliber can think of something so abstract"

Caesar stroked his chin in contemplation "haha, I am truly a genius aren't I" Caesar took the bear brigade parchment away and said "even without the bears the trebuchet will be quite useful for long-range attacking"

Danny slowly nodded his head "you are correct, it can probably fling projectiles even further than a ballista can"

Caesar started walking out the door, "I leave it to you, Danny, Don't disappoint me. The future of the bear brigade lies on your shoulders"

Caesar stepped outside and got on his carriage, he opened up the front window "Head towards the outskirts of the kingdom"

"As you command Marshall"

Caesar opened his eyes in shock "this is the first this guy has talked" he thought to himself as he sat back down and closed the window. "Currently our long-range potential will absolutely be better than our enemies however if they do a frontal assault our ballista's and trebuchets will become useless, I need to think of a way to keep them back"

The carriage soon arrived at the outskirts of the kingdom and Caesar jumped off… he put his hands in the dirt about 10 meters in front of the gate. "It's quite soft, this will work" Caesar than shifted his attention to the large amounts of trees and smiled slyly. "I know what the next training session is going to be"

Caesar turned back and hopped in the carriage "head towards the training grounds" he said as he smiled with an evil grin.

The knights at the training grounds were all smiling ear to ear "haha, we defeated those damn bears so the Marshall left early"

"This is the first time we have ended a day without being close to death…"

"Has anyone heard from Ronny?"

"Nah, I think he's dead"

*clak*

Suddenly all of the knights turned their heads to the noise and saw 'that' carriage… "it's over boys, we had a good run" The knights immediately started stating their condolences to each other.

Caesar hopped off the carriage and could not help but admire the progress these knights have made, before the knights were all thin and frail looking but now each and every one of them has streamlined muscles packed with inner power.

"MEN, FOLLOW ME."

Caesar roared and started walking towards the outer gates, the knights all unhesitatingly followed and marched behind him in a formation.

Once they reached the outskirts of the kingdom Caesar abruptly stopped and turned around "HALT" The knights immediately stopped their footsteps and awaited Caesar's next order.

Caesar walked 10 meters further down and said "I want you to take your swords and dig a 1 meter deep and 1-meter wide trench around the entire kingdom. We will then create stakes and place them at the bottom of the trench"

The knights all nodded and started getting to work, They pulled out their 'dread swords' and dug at the areas Caesar pointed out to them. Caesar was not dawdling and doing nothing while they were digging, he kicked down trees and brought them to the knights so they could create stakes.

1 week slowly passed like this… Caesar looked at the trench created by the knights and the sharp stakes that were placed under it. "You guys have done well this week, we have only 2 weeks left before the enemy arrives"

Caesar paused for a second then continued "Because of your guy's current strength the beasts close by in the forest are too weak… So I have invited a very special instructor to help train you all."

The knights all looked around bewildered "Where is the instructor?" a few of them muttered out loud.

Caesar unbuttoned his shirt and tore it off showing his perfect six abdominal muscles and pale white skin. "Of course the instructor is me… I have gotten a bit rusty as of late" The knights all started shaking.

"M-marshall I think training with the bears is more beneficial to our training"

"What I tell you to do is the most beneficial to your training" Caesar replied without even looking up. Caesar soon snapped and a thin but long coffin was carried by 30 or so huge muscled men, on top of the coffin was a long wooden spear.

"I have been wanting to try a new weapon as of late, you all will be my practice" The Knights didn't even register Caesar's words and all stared straight at the wooden spear "why are there so many people carrying it?" they all thought to themselves

The 30 men placed the coffin-like object down and started walking away swiftly if one paid close attention the muscles on their backs were spasming. A captain soon stepped forward

"Marshall, pardon my rudeness but I need to test out this wooden spear in case of tampering," the knight said as he walked towards the wooden spear and tried picking it up.

"Ahhhh"

The knight screamed as he tried picking up the spear but it just wouldn't move an inch… Soon the captain stopped trying and looked towards Caesar with a serious expression. "I am afraid my wife is giving birth at this moment and I request to leave for this training session"

"Declined"

Tears flowed down then captains cheeks as he walked back to line up with the rest, Caesar walked over to the wooden spear and thought "I can not just rely on evolving my physique, I also need to temper my body"

Caesar picked up the wooden spear and walked back to his original position, every step he made caved into the ground showing the weight that spear had.

"GROUP 1, FRONT AND CENTER"

"YES MARSHALL!"

Group 1 slowly formed in front of Caesar and entered a fighting formation, the captain huddled the knights together and gave them orders "look, as the captain of group 1 I have been impressed by all of you and truly loved making friends such as you guys… So I ask of you this one last favor, I want to at the least injure the Marshall once. So give it your all guys"

The knight's all looked at the captain with respect before radiating killing intent towards the marshall "We can finally get revenge" they all thought inwardly.

Caesar looked at the knight's in front of him with surprise "they dare bare their fangs in front of me?" Caesar smiled widely and roared "BEGIN"

Caesar launched forward, his speed was only one-fifth of his normal speed however he still made it to the frontlines of the knights quickly. Caesar raised his spear and swung in a large radius vertically.

"BRACE" the captain roared

"CLASH"

The spear hit the knights and made them go flying… sweat trickled down Caesar's face "this spear is heavier than I thought"

"DO NOT RELENT MEN, HE WILL GET TIRED SOONER OR LATER"

"AHHHH"

The knights charged towards Caesar, he twirled the wooden spear in front of him and didn't allow them to close the distance. A few knights broke through his defense and slashed at him. Caesar lifted his right leg and kicked all three of them away and jumped up.

Caesar froze the water molecules in the air creating an ice slide and surfed down behind group 1 and started his onslaught again.

30 minutes later all of the men in group 1 were either unconscious or on the ground gasping for breath.

Caesar stood in the middle of the fallen knights with sweat flowing down his body and also gasping for breath "I didn't think I would need to pull out ice magic, these knights have progressed much more than I anticipated"

[Noble physique evolution progress: 5%]

A robotic voice echoed inside of Caesar's head… he opened his eyes wide in shock "I can evolve my body by training as well? I should have thought of that earlier" Caesar whispered to himself

Caesar then looked up at the 4 other groups that he hasn't faced with anticipation and smiled gently

"Who's next?" he said in a gentle tone
