Despite Shye's description of their combat prowess, the existence of Dweezel's Soul Warriors inwardly alard Sanada.
Hence, for an entire year, the entire world was peaceful, as Hadean Varsa, the most notorious terrorist organization, had seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth after the devastation they caused in Yon Augenn City.
Naturally, this was because they already more or less had a fairly accurate estimate of the forces stationed in Yon Augenn City and were already making their preparations for one final battle.
In the next attack, oceans of blood shall be spilled, and they won't retreat until their objective is achieved: unseal the Black Dragon of Destruction.
For their attack to succeed, many preparations were needed.
Since all offensive operations have been halted, Shye and his Black Dawn Unit had lots of free ti on their hands.
However, they naturally wouldn't take things easy, especially after knowing about the existence of the Soul Warriors.
The Black Dawn Unit mbers trained their raw attributes like there was no tomorrow as advised by their leader.
After all, combat technique would only matter between individuals of equal physical and intellectual prowess.
It would simply be impossible for a ten-year-old boy to overpower a fully grown and muscular man no matter how skilled he is in combat techniques.
That's right, Shye was asserting that "attributes are king," which is largely true.
If it wasn't, he should've already lost to Siegfried by now.
It was just that normal people over-glorified the value of combat techniques compared to attributes since the latter was more difficult to improve the higher they were.
Nonetheless, combat experience and honing one's techniques remain extrely important, and this was why the mbers of his unit held a "sparring day" each week and a "hunting week," during which they dedicated all their ti to hunting monstrous creatures and engaging in true life-and-death battles.
Due to strictly following this monotonous yet highly effective training routine for the past eight months, along with the help of peak-grade training tonics, the Black Dawn Unit's mbers' combat prowess grew at a horrifying pace.
After all, such top-tier training was typically reserved for the most gifted adventurers.
Yet, at present, all three hundred mbers of the unit had access to this level of training, making them addicted to it.
It was difficult to stop training when improvents were nearly tangible, almost visible to the naked eye, and felt every few days, thanks to the top-tier training conditions.
Even those aged thirty-five and older received the sa resources as the younger, more talented mbers.
As a result, while the growth rates of individual mbers weren't entirely uniform, they all progressed at a pace comparable to that of "Young Geniuses", their raw attributes now on par with high-ranked adamantite adventurers.
The scary part was that they still had six months before the final battle.
Only true combat and the passage of ti would reveal just how strong the Black Dawn Unit would beco by then.
Of course, the squadron captains had their own, more difficult training regin.
Since they were expected to lead their own squads of terrifyingly strong mbers, Seira and the others couldn't allow themselves to simply be "equal" to their mbers.
They naturally have to be a great deal stronger for them to be qualified to lead such elites.
It was inevitable that their unit's strength would beco renowned across both the main headquarters and all the branch headquarters, reaching even those dedicated entirely to strike forces like Commander Chaos' and Commander Cobra's.
As a result, a lot of eyes within the organization turned to them in utter intrigue and curiosity, especially those who were extrely passionate about combat prowess.
They were eager to uncover the true strength of the new Black Dawn Unit and test the prowess of their Commander, Black Dawn—forrly the fad Shye Crowley of the Black Dawn, also known as Alpha One, the leader of the four-mber Alpha Squadron within their organization.
Rumor has it that all four mbers of the Alpha Squadron, including the monstrous Alpha Three, originated from the Black Dawn Unit.
Soon, these curious commanders brought their units to the main headquarters.
They hoped to cross-train with the mbers of the Black Dawn Unit for at least a week to see how their n asured up against a unit with a rapidly growing reputation within the organization.
The first who dared to challenge was the recently promoted Commander Kirov, who brought Hakkin's remaining elites to exchange pointers with the Black Dawn Unit.
Initially, he believed that although they would be outmatched in the sparring matches between captains and commanders, his elites would be able to stand toe-to-toe against the elites of the Black Dawn Unit.
However, to his utter disappointnt, the results were vastly different from what he expected.
It was a total one-sided annihilation that they suffered.
Not only were the mbers of the Black Dawn Unit more skilled in combat techniques, but they were also significantly ahead in terms of raw attributes.
Hakkin's monstrous elites, who were fairly renowned within the organization, couldn't even keep up with the Black Dawn Unit's borderline insane training regin.
Most of them were forced to rest for half a day on the fourth day of the one-week cross-training schedule to recuperate, as they had already been vomiting pitifully from exhaustion.
Kirov, his recently promoted vice commander, Fino, and his squadron captains all boldly proposed to join Shirley and the others in their training despite Shye's warnings.
In the end, though they didn't regret their bold decision, it humbled them, as even Kirov himself struggled to keep up with Luna and the others.
When it ca ti to spar, Vice Commander Fino and his squadron captains lost every match against Seira and the others, ultimately falling short even against soone like Luna.
Kirov was utterly shocked upon learning that he was only equal to the weakest among Shye's squadron captains.
As for when he dared to challenge Squadron Captain Shirley and Vice Commander Izanagi, Fino and the others from the Kirov Strike Force could only watch in horror as their commander was effortlessly toyed with, like a child facing fully grown adults.
Of course, Kirov was devastated upon learning the extent of the disparity between him and the captains of the Black Dawn Unit.
If the captains were already this strong, then he had no place attempting to asure up to Commander Black Dawn.
After a week, everyone from the Kirov Strike Force had their heads down like defeated dogs, their hands clenched in frustration and devastation as they realized how weak and insignificant they were in the grand sche of things.
They had been too complacent in the past!
If even the monsters from the Black Dawn Unit were pushing themselves to the limit despite already being so strong, how could they justify lounging around in their headquarters, training only four to five tis a week?
They had to work harder!
Fortunately, their Commander, Kirov, was not soone who would be broken by such realizations.
He even requested for Shye to train him and his n, lowering their heads and acknowledging their inferiority in exchange for a chance to be way stronger than they currently were.
The mbers of the Kirov Strike Force were all passionate about combat, thanks to their forr commander Hakkin's strong emphasis on combat prowess.
Hence, upon learning that they would be training with the mbers of the Black Dawn Unit from now on, they were ecstatic.
Unfortunately, the rapid rise of Shye's small unit was not appreciated by a few arrogant and prideful commanders and captains, specifically those from the Chaos Strike Force and the Cobra Strike Force.
