Chapter 62 – Numbered Soldiers
Ethan stood with his arms crossed, eyeing the figure before him.
Fallen Empire Soldier – Unnamed.
Level: 11.
He tilted his head, unimpressed.
"Hmm? Only level eleven? Still, that's good enough. But… unnamed? Do I really have to give them names? All ten of them?" He groaned under his breath, running a hand through his hair. "And what happens when I get even more? Hell no, I'll drown in names."
Straightening, he raised his voice with mock authority.
"You are Number One. You're Number Two. And you—Number Three."
He summoned the rest in a neat line, his lips curving with smug satisfaction as he pointed at each in turn.
"Four, Five, Six...Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten. Perfect. Done. Easy."
The soldiers, expressionless as statues, accepted the decree without complaint.
Satisfied, Ethan dismissed them back into his summon space.
Beside him, Lirael blinked, then stared at him with a mixture of disbelief and exasperation.
