Just before Arthur could speak, a sudden rumble occurred just outside his mansion. The sound in this late hour of the night was loud, echoed in the entire academy and alerting everyone.

"Another attack," Arthur hurried to his feet as he ran directly towards the outside. The team moved after him, with dignified looks on their faces.

They weren't a match to these invaders, the academy wasn't, no one was here.

As they all reached the bottom, they were stupefied when they saw the scene that welcomed them.

Large bodies, strong auras, bald heads, and bare chests. An entire legion of giants stood in front of them, waiting in front of the doors of their mansion.

Each one of them looked so giant to rival Arthur's mansion. Despite that, they all stood in calm, not causing any ruckus, and Arthur noticed the unified bronzed scarf wrapped around their necks.

"They are finally here," he laughed before moving towards the outside.

"Wait…" Amelia tried to stop him with hesitance, yet he didn't listen and went outside.

Just as he reached them, the legion had already arrived. Numbering a five hundred giant made this part of the academy like it had grown hills all of a sudden.

"Are you young master Arthur?" one of them ignored the masters and disciples who hurried to this place as he turned his gaze towards Arthur and asked.

"Are you the ones my godfather sent?" Arthur asked with a wide smile over his face.

"Yes," the giant said before shouting in a loud shout, "legion… assemble."

The next moment the giants all moved in unison, like doing something they all trained on for so long. Then they put their hands over their bare chests as they descended on one knee. "We salute the young master," they all shouted in one voice that echoed around the academy, even shaking some of its buildings.

"Oh, I like that," Arthur laughed before turning towards a certain direction. "Mr. E, glad you came. I was just about to send someone to you," he said when he saw Mr. E appearing with an amazed look over his face.

"Your orders, young master," the first giant to speak spoke again, "our grandmaster ordered us to follow you and die if needed to. Just snap your fingers and we will make sure to crush any enemy you desire."

Arthur smiled before moving towards the still half kneeling giant as he patted his leg, the only place he could reach even in such stance, and said:

"I'm grateful for my godfather to send such capable warriors," he paused before adding, "and make sure I won't just throw you to lose your lives for nonsense. I consider you my own team now, and I won't let my team down," he said it loud and clear, stating his own vision to those who were new to him.

"That's great," Mr. E arrived at this moment while moving his glance over the giants, "damn, if they were here much earlier, those bastards wouldn't have dared to touch the academy."

"You've a point indeed," Arthur nodded before adding, "now isn't the time to say such things. We need to make preparations and be ready to move the first light in the morning," Arthur said.

"As you wish, young master," the giant said before adding, "grandmaster told us you'll need some to stay behind. Do you want to do that?"

"Let's not talk this serious just when you arrived," Arthur laughed shortly while hinting that this wasn't the place to talk about such things.

"My name is Doaf," the giant said as he was now sitting inside the most secured hall in the entire academy; the dean's mansion.

Mr. E arranged things for the entire legion to eat and rest before taking Arthur and Doaf towards the dean's mansion. The mansion was the most giant building in the entire academy, with a hall that was able to contain the huge body of Doaf.

"Listen Doaf," Arthur seriously said while the plates of food in front of them were empty, "it's not polite to say to someone in his home his food sucks!"

"But young master this is the truth," Doaf was stubborn, "this food didn't make my stomach even feel anything."

"Sigh," Arthur stole a side glance over the dark face of Mr. E. "This is the most precious food we ever had," he muttered with a shocked tone and deep sorrow.

"Alright, taste this," Arthur waved his hand and the next instant a large pile of meat appeared.

"That looks promising," Doaf cracked a smile when he sniffed the aroma of the meat. "It's not made by any low being here," he turned to glance at Arthur, "may I ask from which it was made?"

"Just taste it and stop making a scene," Arthur helplessly smiled while watching Doaf put a small piece in his mouth.

And the next instant his eyes shone. "A Golam's meat! No way!" he instantly recognized the nature of this meat, and Arthur was simply surprised by this as he raised one eyebrow in response.

"Don't be surprised, young master," Doaf hurried to eat more meat as if he was afraid anyone would come to compete him on it, "it's not easy to find a Golam to cook these days," he embarrassedly laughed after clearing up the pile Arthur just took. "May I ask if the young master has more?"

"C'mon, you ate my meat and didn't tell me how you feel about it," Arthur laughed.

"It's great meat, even for us up there this would be a nice meal from time to time," Doaf honestly said.

"Then let it be from time to time for you too," Arthur evilly laughed and hurried to say before Doaf could speak, "don't worry, I won't mistreat any of my followers," he promised first before adding, "now it's time we discuss serious matters."

"Young master can order and I'll execute your wishes," Doaf said in strange excitement, which made Arthur sigh. He never thought such a giant man would be tempted by this piece of meat.

Yet he recalled his first master. 'Wasn't he also so excited by hunting that lizard?' he thought to himself before giving Doaf a side glance, 'are all the bronzed giants this hungry all the time? Do they live inside a desert or something?!'

"Ahem," Mr. E cleared his throat as he jumped over his awkward moment from before, "I think we need at least a hundred protectors here."

Arthur glanced at him silently before thinking this old fox was trying to start the negotiation early. "First we need to know the number of our enemies here," Arthur said before adding, "you met them, can you tell us about their estimated numbers?"

"Around a thousand," Mr. E said with a dark face.

"A thousand?!" This number greatly exceeded the number of guards sent by George.

"Don't worry, we are much stronger than them," Doaf noticed the stern look over Arthur's face so he stepped in to clarify things. 

"How much strong?" Arthur asked.

"Like one of us can deal with ten of them," Doaf said before adding, "we have the absolute advantage, don't worry."
