"AHH!"
The Wendigo general roared, hitting the ground with a thud as Star slammed him down before Sunny and Josephine. Nioh, Nicolas, and Blood Eye stood silently behind her, observing the scene.
"You?! Who are you?!" Volkov bellowed, fixing his gaze on Sunny.
Sunny took a step forward and squatted before the fallen Wendigo. "I am the god wolf, and I brought you here to watch," he said with a sneer.
"What?!" Volkov hissed, pain lacing his voice as he clutched his shoulders.
Sunny gestured with his head toward the piles of Wendigo corpses. Confused, Volkov turned, seeing the mercenaries setting the bodies ablaze.
"You… you?!"
BAM!!!
A red sword burst through his chest from behind, even as Sunny gripped his shoulder. "I promise you this… your entire race will be wiped out… And all your territories will be mine." He pulled his sword free, pushing Volkov's body to the ground.
{Master killed an elite Wendigo, and gained 3,500 Exp.}
'Huh? Higher than the exp gained from the Elder?' Sunny was stunned.
'You are completely unpredictable,' he muttered, turning to Star, Nioh, Nicolas, and Blood Eye.
"Check the tunnels… Any living Wendigos should be killed."
The three nodded. Star shot into the air, vanishing from sight, while Nioh, Nicolas, and Blood Eye mounted their bikes and sped away. More than ten thousand Grand Class mercenaries followed closely behind the four.
"We… we won," Josephine murmured in surprise, her eyes fixed on Volkov's corpse.
"This is just a small victory," Sunny stated. "Tomorrow, we are visiting the ogre."
"Huh? Why them?" Josephine asked.
"They are closest to us," Sunny replied simply.

[At One of the Tunnels exit.]
BAM!
Xanor pushed the stones off him, forcing himself out from the debris. "What the?! Why did she destroy the tunnels which have stood for hundreds of years?!" he muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping around at the ten wounded Wendigos.
He quickly stood up and rushed to one. "Where is your kingdom?! What planet?!" he yelled, then sighed, realizing the Wendigo couldn't speak.
He pushed it to the ground and rushed to another. "What about you?!"
"I… Don… Knok," the Wendigo struggled to speak. Though its English was broken, Xanor quickly understood. "What about your base in this planet?" he asked.
"North."
Xanor nodded and slowly stood, dust clinging to his armor.
WHOOSH!
Hearing a distant sound, he looked over his shoulder, seeing a figure flying towards the location.
"Fuck!" he cursed.
He quickly turned back. "Wait!"
Xanor paused, looking at the Wendigo. He rushed back and cut the necklace from its neck. "I will make sure they pay," he vowed, then turned and ran, heading north.
Moments later, Star landed on the ground, her wings folding and re-entering her body. "Hmm…" She cast her gaze over the ten Wendigos.
"You know what to do."
BAM!
Her snakes burst from the ground, rushing toward the Wendigos and beginning to feast on them. Star sat down, closed her eyes, and began absorbing their energies.
'What a sick lady?!' Xanor thought, silently leaving the place. At that moment, Star opened her eyes and turned her head in his direction. "Hmm…"

[One Hour Later.]
Sunny stood in the town square, facing hundreds of thousands of beastmen and women. He exhaled. "I heard from your Queen our numbers measured in millions… But because of the Wendigos, we reduced to such numbers… We all lost people, and I will make sure they are all avenged… The battle that happened today is just a drop of water, we haven't even left a dent on the Wendigos forces…" he muttered, then added in a dark tone:
"With the nation's weak strength, the other races on the planet kidnapped a lot of our people, using them as slaves, because you are all powerless to stop or rescue them!" He moved his gaze to the soldiers, who all lowered their eyes.
"Each one of you must enter the Master rank before this month ends! Succeed, and you will become my elite troops! And all of you will be given Elite Class equipment!"
He opened his System storage, activating it before their astonished faces.
"….?!!!"
Mila and the people were stunned, staring at the millions of Elite Class equipment within Sunny's storage.
"Achieve this! And you will gain a complete set! If you can pass the Grand Master rank and enter the Half Heavenly in this timeframe… You will gain Grand Class equipment! Note; None will be starred!" he yelled, closing the storage, and continued:
"If you pass my expectations, and enter the Heavenly rank in this one month, you will become my subordinate, and have one of the highest honors amongst your peers, so work hard and earn it!" He smiled, seeing their determined expressions, and continued:
"All my subordinates will have fully starred Grand Class equipment, each controlling twenty million mercenaries! And there are more rewards!" he declared.
Nicolas turned to Blood Eye, who stood behind him, and whispered, "Isn't that enough motivation?"
"These things will make anyone go crazy. Let's just see how the troops will achieve it," she said, folding her arms across her chest.
"Yes… these guys are weak. With some irresistible rewards, they will train more… And with the anger against the Wendigos and other races, they will achieve it," Star said, adding, "At least, most of them will enter the Grand Master rank… Gaining Heavenly rank in a month is impossible… Utterly impossible."
Nioh, Nicolas, and Blood Eye nodded in agreement, watching as Sunny continued:
"As I said, we will avenge our people! But first, we must grow stronger, and the only way to do that is taking back this Planet…" He moved his gaze to everyone present. "We have hundreds of people… Humans, and other races, they are all under your Generals." He gestured to Nicolas and Blood Eye.
"Tomorrow, we are moving them to this planet… After that, we are attacking the Ogre city! We will take it over and free our people!"
The soldiers nodded, but the people looked at one another in confusion, not because of attacking the Ogre, but the other races moving over.
"Why are we taking other races?" Mila finally asked.
