Chapter 32
Red Oak’s great chieftain, Kwi.
A respected hero who unified thirteen tribes upon unfamiliar lands.
He was also a brilliant strategist who united the fractious tribes through war against the Death Entra.
“Chuuk chuuk. By the will of the gods, we have achieved a great victory.”
Kui knelt, closed his eyes, and offered a prayer to the heavens.
Even in the midst of the battlefield, he never ceased his prayers.
It was a habit born after hearing the voice of the gods directly, and it was his very reason for being.
Prayer was the most crucial means through which he shared his entire life with the gods, expressed daily gratitude, and sought guidance for the events to come.
“Chu-chu. Grant me your teachings.”
The thousands of Red Oak warriors of the Kui Clan devastated the Death Ent colony in a single day.
While numerical superiority played a part, the system he devised proved decisive in securing victory.
Namely, the chain of command.
He felt that a structured chain of command was necessary to efficiently govern all the Red Oaks and thus created a vertical command structure.
This allowed him to employ tactics like rotating exhausted warriors, weakened by the Berserker spell, to the rear and deploying fresh warriors to the front lines.
All thanks to the mana that grew fuller with every prayer and the intelligence that rose.
“Chuuk! Chuuk! Oh, God!”
Kuiaga raised his arms and shouted.
Then, a chilling voice echoed in his mind.
[My faithful servant.]
“Chu-chu!”
