Aurora’s gaze narrowed as she gestured lazily for him to speak.
The one who had raised his hand stepped forward.
A towering figure. Dark-skinned, broad-shoulded, with massive curved horns and crimson eyes that tried to be intimidating. But to Aurora, he might as well have been a goat. Not the good type.
A member of the demon race.
He spoke, his tone deep.
"I believe all the orders are efficient, and I agree with them."
Some of the human leaders exchanged glances, they knew there was a ’but’ coming.
And sure enough—
"But I believe I speak for everyone here when I say that the strong should lead."
A murmur of agreement rippled through the other non-human leaders, many nodding their heads, some even voicing their support outright.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the human division leaders darkened. His words had a clear meaning, Aurora wasn’t fit to lead them.
However, Aurora never missed a beat.
She snorted. Then spoke.
"What you believe is worthless."
The demon’s eyes narrowed.
Aurora kept going, completely unfazed.
"I’ve been placed in charge of every single one of your asses. Whether you like that or not is none of my concern. But when I give an order, you follow. Without hesitation."
She took a step forward, her eyes sweeping across all of them.
"Don’t question me. Don’t waste my time with your ego-driven bullshit. Hell, you don’t even have to like me. Just listen. Like obedient little puppies."
A visible vein twitched on the demon’s forehead.
Some of the other non-human leaders clenched their fists, their expressions darkening, but Aurora didn’t give a damn.
"If you have a problem with it, take it up with Atticus."
Silence.
Even the demon’s muscles tensed at the name.
No one dared to challenge Atticus. Only his gaze was enough to freeze them in their tracks. While they still considered themselves superior to humans, Atticus was on another level entirely.
Aurora smirked.
"Now, as I was saying before horn-head over here interrupted me—"
A few of the humans snorted in amusement, while the demon’s eyes twitched violently.
Aurora ignored him completely.
"Each race will decide their own battalion leaders. I don’t care how you choose them, just get it done by the end of the day."
She clapped her hands together sharply. Explore more adventures at freewebnovel
"Well, that’s it!"
Then, her voice rang out again, booming across the camp.
"NOW, LET’S GET TO JOGGING!"
High above the sky, a pair of mismatched eyes observed it all unfold.
’It’s annoying even watching it from a distance… She has a natural talent.’
Aurora was simply born to be annoying.
Even her fiery, loud voice was enough to make anyone want to pull their hair out.
Yet Atticus’s smile widened as he watched her barking orders, her voice booming across the forest field.
The recruits below were running, their faces twisted into massive frowns, already drenched in sweat.
"They’re so weak."
Ozeroth’s disdainful voice rang in Atticus’s mind.
"She’s draining all their energy! When will they start serving us like they’re supposed to?!"
Atticus sighed heavily, shaking his head.
