Chapter 151 – Darius’ Return
About two months had passed since Ares returned to the Frontier Territory .
Peace had slowly returned to the Frontier .
[R-reporting!]
And one day, Ares was listening to George when a gate guard barged into the room to report an emergency .
[An unidentified army is heading toward Heinz from the east . The number is about 300!]
However, Ares didn’t seem to care at all even after hearing such an urgent report and neither did George .
The guard became a little uneasy due to their reaction . Ares had to reassure him because of that .
[Yeah, about that army… they won’t do any harm to us so just leave them alone . And open the east gate while you’re at it . ]
[B-but…]
[Oh, I forgot to explain, didn’t I? That army is our ally . The two of us have already been informed about their arrival in advance by the『Dragon’s Eye』 . ]
That said, Ares smiled as he slowly got up from his chair .
[Darius has finally returned . I need to greet him properly . ]
The news of Darius, one of the Frontier’s warlords, quickly spread throughout Heinz . Everyone had gathered to the east gate to see him .
Darius was originally a prince of Grants, and he had protected the people of Grants from hordes of magic beasts and barbarians alike for a long time now . For the people… especially those who originally lived in this land, Darius was as popular as Ares .
A lot of people had gathered to witness the hero’s return .
Of course, Darius noticed this large group of people . He stopped in front of the front gate, looking around suspiciously .
[Oi oi… what is this? What’s with this many people gathering just for a welcome…]
Darius smiled bitterly because he could sense the presence of a lot of people waiting beyond the gate .
[Isn’t it because of your popularity?]
As if replying to Darius’ confusion, several men appeared from within the gate, one calling out to him .
Hearing that voice, Darius unintentionally smiled .
Yes, that voice belonged to the ruler of the Frontier Territory Ares .
Ares looked on with a smile on his face, with Sigurd and Shu standing on his right and left respectively .

Seeing Ares, Darius immediately dismounted from his horse, responding to the greeting like a true retainer should be .
[Milord, I have returned . Pardon me for being late . ]
[Oya, no need to be so proper about it . You don’t have to do something that isn’t like you . ]
[Many eyes are on me . I can’t afford to do that . ]
Darius bitterly laughed in response to his lord’s words, then glanced at Shu .
[Ah, is this the person whose presence I sensed earlier? What a surprise . To think that there is still such a strong man around here . ]
[Nn? Ah, his name is Shu . We became friends about a few months ago . ]
Shu quietly bowed in lieu to Ares’ introduction .
[Looking forward to work together with you . ]
Darius only grinned in response . From afar, he could already sense just what kind of person this man is: a 『monster』 just like himself .
Looking back, behind him, his wife Zenovia was also staring at Shu sharply, probably sensing the very same thing: that the three men standing before them are powerful warriors .
[Please raise your head . That aside… once things have calmed down, we need to make an appointment . ]
Darius said as he offered Shu a handshake .
[Yes, by all means . ]

Shu accepted the handshake with a smile, then spoke to Ares .
[This is surprising . There is actually another strong warrior serving under the clan head aside from Sigurd-dono… I really cannot afford to be a slouch . ]
[Calling him strong may not be exactly true… he’s just a total weirdo . ]
[…Milord clearly has no right to call me that…]
And thus, Ares and his three retainers entered the gate in a harmonious manner .
Heinz’ hospitality was at full blast once again . Darius was really popular among the folks, receiving warm pats from all over the places .
[The people’s culture really has gone for the better… but I guess this part will never disappear . ]
Ares chuckled while looking at the scene . The people of Heinz were warriors first and foremost . And strong warriors at that .
The 300 strong Aryan warriors that Darius brought along, as well as his wife Zenovia, received the hospitality well . It seemed that they’re enjoying themselves .
Leaving the Aryans on their own for a while, Ares, along with Darius and Zenobia went back to the mansion .
Upon arriving at the mansion, several familiar figures greeted them .
After a short self-introduction, they decided to discuss a certain subject .

Yes, about the future .
[It seems that we’ll need to reorganize the army in the near future . ]
It was Shion who started the discussion .
He then pointed out the reason . The Frontier’s military power consisted of a lot more diverse characteristics now .
Ares’『Legion』,『Dragon Knights』under Sigurd’s command and also the 『Aryans』commanded by Darius . Soon, the『Samurais』of Yashima would also come to join Shu . It’s such a diverse corps that no other territory or even country possesses .
[In addition to that, there is also Shadow’s skeleton army… they’re also a force to be reckoned with . How to assimilate them all together into the Frontier territory’s army… It’s very important . ]
And then there’s the Frontier army themselves . The army was mainly composed of former soldiers of Grants, one of the most powerful mixed-race armies to ever exist in the continent . With demonkins, mercenaries and adventurers added into its ranks, it only grew more powerful .
Ares and the others strengthened the army even further by teaching them strategy and how to collectively work together, instilling a sense of unity . It made the current Frontier army to be one of the best armies in the continent .
Diverse and powerful units with an overall powerful army… Shion was currently working on how to mix the two together .
[In any case, I think everyone needs to know the whole story first…]
Everyone nodded at Shion .
Ares explained afterward .
[The『Dragon’s Eye』reported that the war in the west is entering the countdown stage . And… there seems to be a change in situation on the east as well… The world will probably see a lot of changes in a matter of six months . We can’t afford to miss this . Therefore, everyone… please lend me your strength . ]
Everyone present nodded their head strongly .
