Berserk: The Prophet

As the days went by, Green and Baziso continued to grow stronger through rigorous training. Their bodies became more and more powerful, and their skills became increasingly refined.

However, Cardi's urging never stopped.

"Green, I'm not giving you much time. Give me the information I want as soon as possible." As the Demon Eye writhed and opened, Kadi's voice rang in Green's mind.

"I'm trying to gain their trust as quickly as possible."

Green was frustrated, but he had to deal with training while looking for opportunities to explore the layout of the "Dragon's Nest".

Meanwhile, Green and Baziso performed exceptionally well in training, which caught the attention of General Kirsten.

“These two children have potential,” General Kirsten said with a smile.

While waiting for the right opportunity, Green was also constantly thinking and refining his plan in his mind. He knew that once his relationship with Juda was discovered, he and Baziso would be in dire straits.

Soon, in March, when General Kirsten returned from the capital, Nowrudkahuatti.

It is said that a third brutal murder has occurred in Naurudkahuati, the capital of Grant, and the victims are all beauties recognized by Grant, not ordinary poor people who would be easy targets.

"...Is it the same modus operandi again?"

"Hmm, and I suspect the perpetrator is likely someone from the upper class." Hopefully, it wasn't what he thought, General Kirsten squinted and stroked his beard.

"By the way, have the children already counted the number of those who want to stay?"

"Yes, only about 300 children were rescued. After deducting those who went home and those who were too exhausted, 152 remained."

"They were previously assigned by Juda's soldiers to build stone walls and dig up large stones, and they were also subjected to brainwashing education."

"...It's the same as before," Gulenberudo reported simply. No one else was present during this conversation between father and son.

“By the way, Edward suggested that we need to conduct a more in-depth investigation into these children,” Gurunberdo said with a serious expression. “Perhaps some of them know some key information; or perhaps they have been brainwashed by Juda’s education, who knows.”

General Kirsten nodded slightly in agreement. "But we must be careful in our approach, so as not to frighten or distrust the children."

“I understand.” Gurenberudo turned and left the room. He would protect these children and teach them how to be true Grants.

After a brief meeting, Green and Bazzo emerged from the conference room, Green's performance was impeccable.

After Hanks' father died in the war, his mother's health deteriorated. In order to pay for medical treatment, they sold their property and land near the capital. Unfortunately, even so, his mother passed away early, and Hanks suddenly became an orphan wandering around various villages.

They always busked on the streets to earn a living, consistent with reports from nearby villages.

Bazso is the son of a hunter who lives with his father. He accidentally encounters a Juda spy in the jungle. His father is killed, and he is knocked unconscious and taken away by the Judas.

Clearly, their identities had been fabricated by Kadi in a way that was completely airtight.

They even fabricated the hunter's name, since the real hunter with that name was already dead.

Almost all the children who were captured had one thing in common: they were being manipulated behind the scenes by Judas's spies.

In exchange for trust, even minor pieces of information could be sacrificed. Edward and Hickel, under Gurenbelud, sent men to stake out and deal with the secret passages between the "Outer Mountain".

...It's like a cat-and-mouse game, where only the low-level Juda spies who don't get the information in time are captured.

With this matter settled, Green and Bazso's performance in training has become increasingly outstanding. They have not only surpassed many of their peers in physical fitness and skills, but they are also more mature than their peers in terms of mentality.

The task of leading the children's training was left entirely to the two of them, Green and Bazzo, who had already corrected their less-than-perfect fighting stances.

Because Green prefers to use two-handed weapons, Hickel often personally instructs him, while Bazzo trains with Gullenberger for strength training.

However, to become a true knight, foot combat skills alone are far from enough, so Edward served as their riding instructor and taught them how to use their lances skillfully on horseback.

Since Juda hasn't seemed to be making any big moves lately, the three of them have had plenty of opportunities to come here and observe and guide the children's training.

Green and Bazzo have also made great progress and can now easily handle the horses.

Through continuous training, Green and Baziso gradually adapted to this high-intensity military life. They only needed to devote themselves to training with passion every day without having to think about anything else, seemingly tireless.

Green was considered a junior centurion among these children, while Bazzo was more like a lieutenant, in charge of managing 50 men.

Below them were outstanding children who were appointed as little ten-person captains, and they would play war games in groups after a day of training, much like playing house.

They have gradually emerged from the shadow of Judas' concentration camp and are becoming increasingly healthy.

Green couldn't help but smile warmly as he watched them playing and laughing. Playing was the only thing people their age should be doing.

Green, holding his greatsword, leaned against the crenellations of the city wall, gazing at the afterglow of the setting sun and the land below the "Dragon's Nest." Since being officially appointed as the children's centurion, they had moved from their residence in the castle tower to a bastion in the Dragon's Nest.

As the new force that would later become the "Gurunberdo Legion", they had begun to integrate into military life, and they were also responsible for guarding the city walls and keeping watch in the watchtowers.

It can be said that Green and Bazzo have completely gained the trust of Gurunberudo and his group, and their plan can be implemented more smoothly.

Green liked to climb the wall at night to overlook everything in the "Dragon's Nest," but Hickel and the others just thought it was a child's curiosity and hobby.

Little did he know, the demonic eye was always wriggling and observing everything. As for the turrets located on the four corner walls of the "Fire Dragon's Nest," Green was not qualified to approach them for a visit, despite Green's repeated pleas to the uncle who assisted in their maintenance and management.

The tallest buildings in the entire "Dragon's Nest" are two, one of which is the castle tower where the lord resides, also known as the castle tower, where the war council is also held.

The other is the gatehouse of the "Fire Dragon's Nest". The heavy iron gate is as indestructible as a steel shield. Inside, there are three gates made of fine iron, which can be used for large-scale troop deployment and defense.

Green had once looked down over the entire "Dragon's Nest" from the castle tower. Apart from the insurmountable walls formed by the two side mountains, the entire Dragon's Nest looked very much like a semi-circular hexagonal shield, and its structure was also very novel.

The options for attacking a city are nothing more than forcibly breaking through the iron-walled gates or scaling the high ramparts, both of which are extremely difficult.

The narrow siege route made it impossible to launch a large-scale attack on the city walls, and no matter how many people came, they were destined to be slowly consumed by the "Fire Dragon's Nest".

Moreover, the area directly beneath the "Dragon's Nest" is filled with solid rock and mountain structures, making tunneling extremely difficult.

In short, Green relayed all the information he could gather to Kadi, and figuring out the troop deployment of "Fire Dragon's Nest" was not a difficult task for Green.

However, it is clear from any perspective that forcibly attacking the city would be suicidal and the worst possible choice.

After several days of planning, Cadis instructed Green to carefully observe the relationships and entanglements between Glenn Belluddo, Kirsten, Hickel, and Edward, suggesting that spending more time with them might yield some unexpected gains.

Having earned the trust of several people, Green was naturally aware of the emotions and bonds between them.

Even if Green couldn't sense it, he should have learned a lot from the soldiers' gossip.

After all, many of the "Dragon's Nest's" capable generals were rescued by General Gilstein in Chester fourteen years ago, including Gurenbeldo.
