Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169 - Taming the Old World - Safeguarding Home - 4

Min quickly requisitioned two junior Tamers with flying mounts. In a matter of minutes, they glided across the border separating the defensive sectors and touched down in Taro’s zone.

♢♢♢♢

Taro’s situation was remarkably similar to Min’s. He held a high-ranking post, managed a large company of soldiers, and oversaw a sector that was currently enjoying an unprecedented era of peace.

But Taro had never struggled with the humor problem. He didn’t make cynical jokes.

Taro was simply warm. He possessed a gentle, slightly innocent disposition, the kind of rare, genuine person who effortlessly made everyone around him feel comfortable.

Naturally, the hardened soldiers initially assumed they could walk all over him.

A commander this polite, this willing to listen to complaints, and this reluctant to shout orders looked like an incredibly easy mark.

That assumption survived exactly until the first time the alarm bells rang. The moment Taro fused, summoning his massive beasts to the frontline, the sheer density of his aura smothered the entire sector. Seeing a man that polite casually command that much destruction permanently rewired the garrison’s perspective.

Nobody ever mistook his kindness for weakness again...

His calm nature actually produced a highly effective side effect. The soldiers serving under him were incredibly relaxed, naturally catching the quiet confidence that Taro radiated without even trying.

Taro spotted them landing and his face lit up.

"Li! Min! What are you two doing here?"

He rushed forward and wrapped them both in a massive, crushing hug, nearly lifting them off the cobblestone with his broad Earth Bear like frame. "Did you come to visit me? Both of you? Together?"

"No, we only came to eat your food," Min corrected him, adjusting his uniform after being set down. "Ok, Li came to see you... I am strictly here for the pantry, let’s be honest with ourselves."

Taro laughed, not offended in the slightest.

"Then we are going to eat well!" He was already waving over a quartermaster, issuing rapid instructions to prepare a special meal. "I’m sending a fast one for Liu right now. He needs to come down here and talk with everyone too. We’re having a banquet! All four of us, exactly like those times back at Ren’s mansion."

♢♢♢♢

Liu arrived a few hours later, right as the sun began to dip.

With the group finally complete, they sat down around a long wooden table loaded with food.

Liu was, without question, the quietest of the commanders. He was also the only one the soldiers had never underestimated for a single second.

He carried an aura that the troops universally described as a vampire’s presence. There was something distinctly cold and unsettling about him. It was an invisible pressure that made rookies lower their voices to a whisper whenever he walked into a room, though none of them could explain exactly why.

The garrison was genuinely afraid of him.

The great irony was that Liu was just incredibly shy since he could hear their whispers perfectly.

Yet he barely even noticed the chilling effect he had on people, thinking it was all about the uniform. On the rare occasions he did notice someone was scared of him, he secretly rejoiced, simply because it meant fewer people tried to force him into small talk. For someone as deeply introverted as Liu, possessing a terrifying vampire aura was most of the time a convenient blessing.

"Liu, tell Li about what happened last month," Taro urged, piling a generous helping of roasted meat onto Liu’s plate.

Liu paused, his fork hovering in the air. He didn’t look up from his meal.

"...No."

"Oh, come on that was a good one!" Min prodded.

"Nothing happened."

"A fresh recruit literally passed out when Liu looked at him," Min finally spilled the details for Li, looking absolutely delighted. "He just looked at him. Didn’t say a single word and didn’t even merged with his beast. The poor kid thought his soul was being harvested and just hit the floor."

Min laughed so hard he had to steady his cup to keep it from spilling.

"And the best part? Liu had no idea why it happened. He genuinely thought the kid had caught a fever or something. He sent a bowl of hot soup to the infirmary for him!"

Liu kept his eyes glued to his plate, chewing slowly.

"He was pale," Liu muttered in his own defense. "He looked sick."
