Alex and the others spent all night discussing tactics until morning. After they finished their preparation, Alex did not return to rest but continued to inspect the first division and the elite troops' training.

Humans, in general, could stay awake several days. But some can go to the extreme, for example, the American Randy Gardner holds the 'world record' for not sleeping for 11 days and 25 minutes. As for those who were in the military, generally, they only get 2- 4 hours of sleep while on duty and even less when they were out on patrol. It was not uncommon for special forces groups who were on duty to only get an average sleep of 2 hours per day for up to 10 days. Sleep was still needed by those who are in Mortal Realm. And once they reached the Sky Realm stage, sleep no longer becomes a necessity.

The troops in front of Alex had been trained from the start to rest for only less than 4 hours every day. The main goal, of course, was to train them mentally to be ready to engage even if they were not in a prime condition.

As for Alex, even though he could rest any time he wanted, he could not stop worrying about the news brought by Aria.

.

All 70,000 first division troops had been prepared, all of the high-level mutated meat cans in the warehouse had been distributed effectively. The results of their physical and mental tests yesterday had concluded that about half of the first division troops had reached the peak of the Mortal Realm while the rest were still in high stages.

Alex thought about sharing the spirit stones they had accumulated, but he hesitated. These spirit stones will be crucial once the Doomsday Pillar arrived. Each high stage Mortal Realm fighter required an average of 8 spirit stones to reach the peak stage. The 80,000 spirit stones that Alex has would only help around 10,000 more troops. So he finally decided against it.

Today, the entire first division troops looked more confident. Especially because today, they will train together with the second division troops. The second division troops, with a total of 50,000 people had just been reinforced with 20,000 carefully chosen cadets.The strength difference between the two divisions became more obvious. Now A total of 140,000 troops ready to be distributed in 7 regiments. They must be divided to get used to working together, familiarizing themselves with the area of ??their respective mission and, of course, getting used to the orders of their new leaders.

Therefore, this morning, Alex must assign the leaders of each regiment. Alex's choices were centered mostly on the Deathsquad's senior troops.

He inspected each of the Deathsquad lieutenants and captains who had gathered, but he had doubts whom to choose since there weren't many who could match Arief, Donny, and Dario. These three were the main figures in the Deathsquad army. He wondered if he should prepare a regiment for Aria. Alex doesn't really need a veteran commander. Farrel and the others were already experienced in regard to war tactics. What Alex truly needed were people who had the charisma to lead in the front. Someone whom Alex could trust to follow orders and not retreat once they've seen the hordes of tens of thousands of zombies coming toward them.

When Alex was still studying the profiles of his potential leaders, someone approached him.

"You seem to be thinking too hard. You know.. a good leader must be decisive."

Alex was surprised to see this person and the other people next to him. "I thought you guys already left?"

"We're not gonna miss out on the fun."

The man who approached Alex was James Randall and Admiral Gerard.

"We were actually ready to leave this morning, but we heard about the scout's report last night. So, we decided to help and stay for now."

Alex, still quite surprised, said, "Are you sure about this Admiral? This fight will take several days. Won't your mission be delayed for too long?"

"Don't worry, America will be fine. Anyway, I haven't had the chance to see the whole island of Bali. I've heard that the Kuta beach in southern Bali is very beautiful."

With Admiral Gerard and James Randall joining, it meant that the two people next to them, Winter and Nathanael, will also take part in the upcoming battle. Alex could already feel the burden being much lighter now.

Alex then showed to the Admiral Gerard the 140,000 troops who were training. But not long after, he received another surprise. A group of hundreds of fighters, wearing the same uniform as Alex's troops, arrived.

"Jerry!"

Jerry and his wolf squad, who had been carrying out rescue missions for the last three months in eastern Indonesia, have finally returned. Jerry was Alex's spirit enhancer. His presence at this time made Alex even more reassured.

"Haha, why does only Jerry gets a welcome? What about me?"

The person standing next to Jerry was one of the spirit enhancers who was part of the wolf army. Sergei Jacob, a 2-meters tall guy, with red hair and a beard. A professional wrestler who was also an earth spirit enhancer.

"Alex, you still owe me a lot of drinks. Don't break your promise."

"Haha, don't worry. We have a lot of them stashed."

There was one more noteworthy man standing next to Jerry. A man in his 40s, named Darius, who had lost all of his family members in this plague. Darius was the master of a fairly rare element. In Alex's previous life, Darius was one of the strongest spirit enhancers. He was the wielder of space, the lord of gravity.

These three people were part of the wolf army and with their presence back, Alex became more confident.

The 7 regiments were then completed for tomorrow's battle.

Regiment 1: Arief

Regiment 2: Donny

Regiment 3: Dario

Regiment 4: Sandi

Regiment 5: Winter

Regiment 6: Natahanel

Regiment 7: Jerry

The 7 regiment leaders will have 1,000 more elite troops, and they will also be reinforced with 10,000 each of first and second division troops. Each regiment already has its own special force, which is their main force. Arief, Donny and Dario's regiments were supported by Deathsquad troops, Winter were supported by James's personal army as well as additional navy seal units from the Admiral. Whereas Nathanael with his delta force. Jerry's wolf troops were a combination of the strongest forces of the Deathsquad and former Black Snake gang members.

Out of the 7 regiments, only the Sandi regiment seemed to be lagging behind. Even though Major Sandi was a former Bali special forces trainer, there weren't much units under him. Alex wanted to place Rama and all four martial arts masters, however, the mutated bears' high mobility would be very useful for Farrell in issuing commands to the 7 regiments. So to completely reinforce the fourth regiment, Alex then thought about the newly reformed team of spirit enhancers.

Hearing the word of the new unit of spirit enhancer, Jerry, Winter and Natahanel's group interests were piqued.

They together headed to one side of the Antiga military base. There they found 10 people who were practicing together. The first person that caught their attention was a fat man who was being pummeled by the two young twins. But even though this man was like a punching bag who couldn't strike back, the man was smiling.historical

When Alex's entourage arrived, a blond woman wearing glasses approached Alex.

"Ahhh you came. Hi Jerry and Sergei. You, I seem to remember you. Oh right, you're Darius! Welcome back to Bali. Wait, you guys still haven't returned to America, why are you still here?"

"Hello, Cindy. Did you miss me?" Sergei answered.

"Huh?! Who would miss a red-haired bear like you?!"

Theo, who was standing not far, immediately ran over to Alex's group. "Hello, all."

"How's their progress, Theo?" Alex asked.

"Oscar and Oliver have improved, but they are still reckless. As for Daisy and Tommy, although they are young, they are very reliable and fast-learners. Currently, we are testing their abilities of the new guys"

Ark was an earth spirit enhancer, he could form small lumps of rock made from the earth without touching the ground. The lump of stone could fly where he wanted it too, but it could only break a tree branch right now.

Dinda was a fire spirit enhancer but was not able to demonstrate the ability to control fire yet. However, since he had been practicing bow master when he was 5 years old, he could use heavy bows and iron arrows with ease after reaching peak stage mortal realm. The strength of shots can pierce through tree trunks with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

The one who had the most drastic change was Raufgar. This fat man had never consumed a spirit stone. But yesterday, he directly swallowed 16 spirit stones and slept for 20 hours. He just recently woke up.

"..."

"While everyone was practicing, he was sleeping soundly. We tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't budge."

Ordinarily, people meditated for a few hours and would still awake while digesting the spirit stones. This was the first time anyone slept through it.

At present, the twins were testing out Raufgar's physical strength and defense. As usual, plant and earth spirit enhancers received an increase in their endurance. Raufgar's fat body did not appear muscular at all, but even with the combined heavy blows and kicks sent by the twin brothers, Raufgar didn't seem to feel pain.

After more than 15 minutes, Raufgar was finally defeated and the two brothers were exhausted. Not long after, Raufgar walked toward Alex and asked,

"Is there anything to eat? I am hungry."
