“Calix has only unlocked five acupoints. You, a Seventh Archduke, will be up against a Fifth Archduke. If you still lose, you should join the ranks of trash,” said Zeke.

Frowning, Apollyon asked, “Have you met Calix, Mr. Williams?”

Zeke shook his head.

“How do you know that he's only a Fifth Archduke?” asked Apollyon.

Zeke scoffed disdainfully. “Is it difficult to find out someone's strength from a distance?”

By simply unleashing some energy, he had managed to discern Calix's powers without the latter noticing anything.

It was a piece of cake.

Apollyon and the others became even more in awe of Zeke.

Look at him! He's a true warrior.

Something that was practically impossible to them was nothing but a simple gesture to Zeke.

It was impossible not to admire a person like him.

Zeke continued, “There's still some time till the actual battle. Continue training and strengthen your skills. We'll set off after dawn.”

“Got it!”

The rest continued with their training till the sky completely brightened two hours later.

By then, their powers were already firmly grounded in the Archduke class.

Zeke nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad! Let's go.”

However, Apollyon asked quickly, “Mr. Williams, can we ask our troops to come with us?”

“Why?” asked Zeke in confusion.

“To be honest, we've got a very messy bunch in our troops. There are some people who aren't willing to accept your authority. They think that you are an incapable man who only managed to unite the troops through petty schemes,” explained Apollyon.

“If we bring them to watch the battle, they can witness how powerful we are. After that, we'll address you as our master and make them realize that you're the one who helped us cultivate our skills. No one would dare to question you again,” he continued.

“Well, it's up to you,” replied Zeke casually.

Zeke was not bothered about whether the troops obeyed him or were accepting of his leadership.

After all, it did not matter to him at all.

Glancing at the time, he instructed, “Let's go. It's almost time.”

“Let's go!”

After gathering the hundreds of men in the troop, the ten Decani marched off grandly with Zeke.

A noisy commotion had broken out among the group as everyone discussed the upcoming battle.

“Do you think that the newbie can be a match for Calix?”

“That's gonna be tough. Look at how impressive Calix is! All of you know very well that even our boss, Apollyon, can't endure one blow from Calix.”

“If that newbie loses to Calix, he'd definitely die.”

“D*mn it! After following him, our lives improved slightly. But he's sending himself to his death right now... Looks like our good days are coming to an end.”
