I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 323: Leaving The Base

Another month passed by, and Angus finally could leave the Explosion Squad on their own. Currently, there are more than twenty soldiers that could use explosion skills. Although most of them can hardly use it, they will become better as they continue their training.

Since Angus also left some guidance books of the explosion skill to them, they could improve themself by following it without Angus. Therefore, Angus could finally go towards the Dark Forest and join with Jayna.

Each day passing by, Angus begins to miss Jayna more and disturb his mood. Fortunately, he has a lot of students that could be used as stress relief.

Currently, Angus is in front of all the soldiers that already baptize with his hellish training. All the soldiers are in line and standing straight like a spear pointing at the sky.

Looking at the expression of the soldiers, Angus feels satisfied. His hard work for the past half-year is not in vain.

"Good. Some of you may have already heard this, but I will make things clear. Today is my last day to stay in this base. After that, your training will be handled by the other veteran or senior. Still, if I find your performance is lacking, I will be sending you back here again."

"At that time, don't think of staying alive or having an easy death because that is the only thing you will wish for the moment all of you meet me again." said Angus.

"Yes, sir!!" yelled all the soldiers in the training ground.

"Alright, then I will leave first. With this, you don't need to become my personal assistant anymore. Unless you still want to keep working in that position." said Angus towards Anne on his side.

"N-No, sir." replied Anne in a hurry.

"Hmm… So, you don't like to become my personal assistant, huh? I guess I will tell Father about your blunder." said Angus.

"N-No, sir. I didn't mean it that way." said Anne in panic.

Angus looked at the panicked Anne silently before bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha… Look at your face. I am just joking." said Angus while laughing.

'It didn't feel like you were joking.' thought Anne silently.

During these past months, Angus has been the type of person that will always mean what he says. If the soldier is ordered to get dry wood means they need to harvest wood in the nearby forest literally.

"You are a good and capable leader. I will give a good word to Father about you." said Angus.

"Thank you, sir." replied Anne while bowing.

Then, Angus approached the carriage nearby. All the soldiers begin to salute towards Angus while entering his carriage. Since all his stuff is inside his space storage item, Angus didn't need to bring a lot of things. Along with the carriage, there are also a lot of guards to protect him.

Angus decided to immediately go towards the Black Fortress without stopping in Freyspire city and visit his house first. Besides, he could visit his home anytime since it is only needed for around one or two weeks at most from the Black Fortress to his home using the carriage.

Same as before, Angus also gets some guard from the ex-Sur village combatant. After more than half a year into the Firuman, Duke Jacob and Jade realize that the Sur Village combatant is kind of superior to the ordinary combatant in the Heart Kingdom within the same grade.

Their grade and power may be the same, but their combat sense and fighting capability are vastly different.

In a battle between life and death, combat sense and fighting capability are most important. Otherwise, it is only like giving a gun to a little kid without teaching them how to wield it.

Because of Endless Battlefield's harsh environment, the Sur village combatant is forced to improve themself to survive. Therefore, Jacob is more reassured when the Sur village combatant becomes Angus' escort.

Even though all Angus's research and achievement is a national secret and not many people know about it, he is still an important figure for the Heart Kingdom. His safety is a high priority among other people inside the Heart Kingdom.

Angus shadow guards even have magical tools to send out an emergency signal to the surrounding stationed base in the Heart Kingdom.

The moment the signal is sent out, all the nearby fifth-grade and sixth-grade combatants affiliated with the Heart Kingdom will be obligated to go towards the Angus location.

Only a few people have this kind of privilege. Therefore, Angus is relatively safe as long as he is still inside the Heart Kingdom territory.

The journey towards the Black Fortress is uneventful as he is still inside the Victory territory. The addition of Sur Village combatants creates new forces and strengthens the Victory family.

With the new addition of manpower, the crime rate inside Victory fiefdom is lower significantly. Almost all the nearby rogue bandits are eradicated while the surviving one decides to migrate to another territory.

Since the security is increased, the number of visitors also increases, especially for the merchant. This also boosts the total income and the residents' lives.

After a week and a half, Angus finally could see a massive Fortress across the horizon in black color. He had already heard a lot of stories from his father and brother about it, but he could help but be shocked at the scale of the building.

Even though the building is massive, Angus didn't feel annoyed towards it as he knows it is necessary to have this enormous building to protect against giant size monsters or monster waves.

During his journey inside the Endless Battlefield, he often found monsters of the same height as high-rise buildings. These kinds of monsters could create more destruction than monsters of small size.

After a while, Angus finds a long queue towards the fortress. Most of the people here are adventurers. These adventurers will go towards the Dark Forest, hunt monsters or gather some rare resources.

As one of the oldest monster habitats, Dark Forest is a mysterious place that is filled with many rare resources.

Like the old man Draught said before, the miasma and mana is a kind of similar energy that comes from the same source. Therefore, Dark Forest also could produce a lot of rare magical materials.

Since the monster overlord appearance happened a few years ago, the current Dark Forest is relatively safe for these adventurers to venture.

Despite this, if the fortress scout receives any single clue about the monster wave approaching them, the Black Fortress will immediately close their gate and force these adventurers to help fight the incoming monster.

Angus's carriage and the group couldn't bypass the long queue despite his status as high noble since this checkpoint is handled by the extermination squad. As the squad is tasked with national security and hunting the criminals, everyone must comply with their investigation.

Unless it is some urgent and special case, all the people inside the Heart Kingdom couldn't refuse and hold back their investigation. Even the royalties need to comply with them, much less a high noble like Angus.

After waiting for a few hours, it is finally his turn to finally arrive, and the extermination squad begins to check his things. Because of Angus's background, they still couldn't check Angus space storage casually without a good reason and passed the strict check easily.

Entering the Black Fortress that looks like a city between two walls, Angus could see the busy life of the Black Fortress. Then, Angus gets out of his carriage and decides to walk on his own.

Still, his guard is not leaving him and is tasked to protect him even when he is hunting inside the Forest. After venturing for a while, Angus feels a similar presence approaching him rapidly.

"Angus!!" called Anna while running at full speed.

Didn't want to receive Anna's full charge, Angus immediately gathered mana on his fist and smashed her the little troublemaker. *Bam* The force was so great that it attracted the nearby passerby.

Since Dark Fortress is also one of the Heart Kingdom's military bases, no one is stupid enough to cause trouble in it. Therefore, fighting is a rare occurrence here.

Some of Angus's bodyguards are also surprised at the sudden person approaching Angus before she gets hit. In contrast, the Sur villagers combatant already get used to the little monster-minded girl behavior. They know it will take more than this attack to kill the little girl.

"Ow.. Ow… It hurts!! Meanie Angus!! It hurts!!" said Anna while holding her head and rolling on the ground.

Ignoring the little troublemaker, Angus looks in the direction where Anna is coming from. Not long after that, a group of people came to his location. He could see Jayna was surrounded by many guards like him.

Looking at his girlfriend, Angus couldn't help but feel a little bit absent-minded at her appearance. Currently, Jayna is wearing battle armor with crimson-colored decoration on it.

Despite wearing battle armor, she still couldn't hide her beauty and developed body. Combined with her golden-colored hair and pretty face that could match with the top model on Earth, she could easily gather attention from all the males nearby.
