Chapter 169: A7
Thus, this meeting ended quickly under an atmosphere of solemnity. Both sides merely introduced themselves, with Sarah making herself known to Luo Wen.
“Teacher, the Overlord is truly awe-inspiring. Compared to him, I, as the former Empress of the Ratfolk, am far inferior,” Sarah remarked.
Morgan appeared puzzled as he replied, “I’m not sure what’s going on with the Overlord today. He’s usually much more approachable. But there’s plenty of time in the future; once you get to know him better, you’ll understand.”
Sarah chose not to pursue the topic. “Teacher, what’s next?”
“Since you don’t plan to return, why not focus on a career within the Swarm? Right now, we have plenty of personnel in management, but we’re severely lacking in military commanders. Perhaps you could give that a try,” Morgan suggested after some thought.
“But I only have experience in games,” Sarah replied. Since the unification of the Ratfolk, and under the deterrence of “unexpected events,” no skirmishes involving more than 100 individuals had occurred for years. Even if Sarah had wanted to hone her skills, she couldn’t find the opportunity and had to resort to practicing through games.
“It doesn’t matter. The Swarm’s combat strategies are entirely different from those of the Ratfolk. Besides, the Swarm currently has no enemies, so there’s plenty of time to learn. As long as you’re interested, it won’t be an issue.”
After considering for a moment, Sarah said, “I’ll take your suggestion, Teacher.” In her younger days as the eldest daughter, she had led small-scale skirmishes against the Kingdom of Merrican. She had enjoyed those days of commanding far more than her time as Empress, though the later years of peace had left her with no opportunities to shine.
The two chatted as they walked. Due to the weak gravity of the Moon, every step they took sent them soaring a considerable distance. Before long, they exited the underground base and arrived on the Red Moon’s surface.
