Chapter 116: Railius’ Future Plans
"Anyone who thinks the power of House Aurellion is solely in their military power is gravely mistaken."
"They do not understand the depths of House Aurellion’s great influence that Railius meticulously planned since his earliest days."
"They do not see the hidden forces he controlled far before engaging in his stellar military career or understand the power it gave him."
"Nor the many streams of revenue and income that he created, which became the financial backbone of his noble house."
Baron Malwin Thornsworth, Teacher of Railius Aurellion.
....
After looking through the important game screens and checking on his Dynasties situation, Railius decided to have his character go to bed, knowing that tomorrow he would have to meet with his ex-regent and current Grand Commander of The Pelican Guards Leon Mantelon, who would undoubtedly put him through his paces. In the few times that he had done training sessions during his last Dynasty History Event, it was always Leon’s ’training sessions that he hated the most.
Whether it was Leon chasing him while firing arrows or putting him onto his ass every single time they had a sparring session, compared to Malwin, who had exciting debates with Railius, Leon seemed to have one way of training him and one way only making Railius only more determined to slack off.
Hit him!
Did Leon think Railius was nothing but a human pinata to hit?
Hit him until he learned from experience! And while he did teach Railius the basics of swordsmanship, that was it for Leon wanted his young lord to develop his own style of fighting because he knew that was the key to becoming a master or grandmaster, which Leon wanted Railius to become as soon as possible so he can hold his own for a while until help came along.
After all, one of Lucius’ biggest weaknesses when he was general was his poorer martial skills compared to his opponents. In fact, it was so poor that Drusus worried for his friend and capable subordinates safety requested the then King of Chavaria, Cassius Crestier, to give him some royal guards as protection when Lucius nearly died on the battlefield after he committed too many of his men, which is why Scorpius was with Lucus at Brunag in the first place.
