"So what about the other two generals? What would they be doing?" Walker was not hiding a single bit of his curiosity.

"Your thirst for knowledge is rather ravenous. I think you will do very well in the next few days when we start negotiations." Scylla was slowing the conversation and enjoying Walker's obvious impatience.

"Sorry, I don't mean to be rude. I have not learned much about this so I am very interested." Walker looked a little down but he had not lost the curious glint within his eyes.

"I understand. Well, the second two are not completely dependant on war. We have the guardian general. They deal with all defense and protection of the kingdom borders and in the most importance, our main city."

This made sense from the moment Scylla said the name. Walker didn't need much background since having someone whose job it was to properly protect the city was very important. The ranking of general was the only surprising part, he knew that his kingdom did not have their leadership divided this way.

"You met him I believe, he escorted you from the tamers guild to the coliseum the first time." Scylla thought she remembered hearing this which made Walker think harder. His eyes became focused as he remembered that he had been guided by a demi-human with gorilla traits.

"The gorilla traited demi-human is a general?" Walker said this tentatively due to the fact that he did not know if Scylla would be forgiving if he forgot.

"Yes. Benson rarely speaks and is always a little intimidating. He is a sweetheart though. You should see him training the kids." Scylla spoke like she was a gossiping girl. It was a strange personality change that none of them had expected. It did make sense, if this general Benson was the defender of the city then it was just easy to guess that he was a kind person.

"Lastly we have The general of harvest. They are responsible for every and all things revolving around the production of food and the development of crops. General Rita is very peaceful until something happens with the fields. Not a single general let alone all three of us together can beat her. King Rorick was just barely able to defeat her the first time they trained together."

This was a pretty large piece of knowledge to drop. The strongest general was apparently the one that had to deal with crops and produce. Not a single one of them would have guessed this. Those that dealt with crops were often the ones that were expected to be weak since they would seldom learn a single combative skill.

"What would make her the most powerful general? My mother is a farmer and she has never learned a skill to be combative with anyone, I just want to understand." Gil made it clear why he ould question this and Scylla nodded along. She had always wondered this as well until she had been soundly defeated. After that day she had never referred to anyone else as the most powerful general.

"She may be the general of the harvest, but what would a farmer do when they needed to protect the continent's largest fields from monsters, pests, bandits, and other things?" Scylla had brought the idea that the general of the harvest wasn't just out growing food.

She looked around and gave her own answer, "most would send for a quest. The adventurers guild or the city would send some aid. But instead, the general of the harvest takes care of that. She is always sending her own small army to patrol fields, report disease, fend off monsters, and much more. She is the very foundation of the kingdom. She doesn't even have the ability to grow anything too." The last part made all their jaws drop.

Alma finally broke her silence, "Now please do not take offense, but how in the holy world can someone who can not grow things stay in charge of all of the fields and growing productions?" Scylla had expected this but didn't expect Alma to be the one to break and ask first.

"General Rita is like me, she is an ancient monster trait demi-human. She and I would be closer friends if she liked the idea of being within ten feet of a demi-human with carnivores traits." Scylla laughed at her own joke for a little then continued. "She is an ancient minotaur trait demi-human. I know minotaurs are normal demi-human traits along with minotaurs being a common monster in the underground. But an ancient minotaur is a much higher existence."

The group had fallen in to Scylla's bait and were not completely immersed in the true story. "This makes her more powerful, and when she decided to protect an area she has many skills to do so. She also does everything she can to learn what she needs to do so. In this case, she knows everything about farming at the highest level of farmer would. If you have ever read the book about the minotaur that guards a living labyrinth then you will understand."

Walker could recall a similar book. It was an older story that some thought to be false but others claimed to be real just lost to time. "The book was about a master dungeon maker, a system no one is sure exists. They used a mastery skill that gave their best dungeon a name and life. In this case, it was called Labyrinth. Then the labyrinth created a single monster instead of many, a minotaur. It was adept in traps, combat, tracking, building, and most of all protecting."

Walker relayed this story to the others who had appeared more clueless. If Walker had not taken the time to read the books in the library and keep the memory in the mental archive he would have been lost as well.
