[Milestone 1: Gain [1] Pawn Class Subordinate (Completed)]
-> 10% Boost in stats relative to the stats of the subordinates.
[Milestone 2: Gain [100] Pawn Class Subordinates (Completed)]
-> En Passant: This grants your pawns a 50% boost in all stats when they attack in pairs [Cannot be stacked].
-> Pawn’s Sacrifice: This allows you to permanently boost the strength of any of your pieces by sacrificing a pawn [The sacrificed Pawn can never be revived.]
[Milestone 3: Gain [500] Pawn Class Subordinates]

[Milestone 4: Gain [3000] Pawn Class Subordinates]
-> ???

Jason hummed curiously as he read through the new milestone description for the Pawns! He could boost the power of his pawns by allowing the commander to be killed? That was insane! Jason knew that even though a Pawn was to gain a hundred percent boost in its abilities, it still wouldn’t be as strong as any of the other pieces, but that didn’t mean the boost wasn’t going to be very significant!
For example, Raya had twenty Pawns under her command and most of them were Pawn Rank III’s that had been difficult to handle when they were still alive. If Raya was somehow killed while fighting a battle, then all twenty of them would immediately be twice as strong as they had once been! This was going to be very useful in the moment when Jason needed to preserve mana as much as possible! Since the Pawns would keep their powers until their commander is resurrected again, Jason could preserve mana by holding off on the resurrection and just focusing on making sure that the other subordinates finish the battle properly!
Jason smiled a little as he appreciated the new boost and then he turned to the other tab that opened at the side.

Jason’s eyes widened in shock once he read through the new technique available for the rook class! He could switch places with any of them!? That was fucking broken! An ability like that basically meant that Jason could teleport to any place where his Rook was so long as he had the mana to take him there!
Jason closed his eyes and released a sigh as he cursed in his head! The first thing that came to his mind after realizing how useful the skill was, was how he would have been able to get to Gina quicker if he had this skill earlier! The ability to teleport meant that he wouldn’t have been wasting all that time trying to convince the Enforcers to let him go and he wouldn’t have had to reveal Ragnar to the public either!
’Fuck.’
Jason cursed internally once again before he shook his head and decided that it was pointless to dwell on things like that. Jason closed down the tab and he turned to glance at Fenrir, the wolf, who was sitting on its hind legs and looking at Jason curiously. It tilted its head to one side cutely when it felt Jason giving it an intense look and Jason’s mouth split into a smile before he activated the technique!
[King’s Substitute] has been activated
Doon!
Jason suddenly vanished from his position and Riyala released a cute scream when the large Moonlight Wolf appeared in front of her! Fenrir was surprised for only a second before it began to pant in excitement as he pounced on Riyala and began licking her face!
"Ah, wait! Wait! Don’t lick me there! You smell so bad! Hahaha!"
Riyala began laughing as the licks became more intense and Jason watched them from the other side of the field with a smile. That was a perfect substitution. Jason barely felt any discomfort on his body at all when he was switching places with Fenrir, and if he had to describe it, then he would say it was the same feeling as driving your bike really fast on an open road! There’s an intense rush of air, and then you’re suddenly on the other side of the world! Jason had even stuck the landing without stumbling, so he knew he didn’t have to worry about falling over every time he used the skill! It was perfect!
Jason looked at all the Phantoms that were gathered in front of him and he told all the Rook Ranks to walk forward. Alpha and the other four phantoms who were strong enough to be Rook Rank I’s came forward and Jason hummed as he glanced at the tab above their heads.

[Phantom Assassin]
[Rook Rank I]
[Hierarchy Level: 1 [0.00%]]

The tabs were similar for all five of them and the only difference that Jason noticed between them was that they had different mana levels. A notification sounded echoed through Jason’s system as a new tab opened.
[Will the user like to baptize the new Rooks with names? Yes/No?]
Jason frowned before he closed the notification with a thought. Jason didn’t feel close enough to any of the phantoms for him to be giving them names. Yeah, they were loyal to him now, but he couldn’t forgive them for what they had cost him. As far as he was concerned, they didn’t deserve to be named. Jason quickly ordered all the other phantoms to move towards each of the Rooks and become their subordinates. There were forty-five Pawn Rank Phantoms and forty of them were assigned to four of the Rooks while the last Rook only managed to get five rather than ten. Jason gave that final Rook five Spidermonkeys to use as its subordinates and Jason got back a nod of gratitude from it.
All the phantoms were very obedient and they were willing to follow all of his orders without question, but they could feel that he was not happy with them and they all felt like they needed to prove their worth to Jason before he would accept them as part of his Legion. Even the other members of the Legion were giving them coy looks from the side because they could all feel the King’s dislike for the Phantoms! It was still weird to Jason that these people used to be his enemies just a few minutes ago and they were now so docile, but he wasn’t going to dwell on it for long. He already learned to adapt very quickly when it came to anything concerning magic.
