Chapter 890- Future of Saint Hall Cavalry (1/2)

After I flashed the pendant, the two Grand Priests became much more respectful towards me. Even the other priests behind them looked at me as if I was a god. I even felt like if I wanted them to, those female priests would just take off their clothes. However, I didn't need that and continued to talk to the two old men...

”How many Saint Hall Cavalry do you have inside?”

”Replying to General.” You Qian said, ”Saint Hall Cavalry are chosen believers of God. Each year, we select a hundred to two hundred people from Waterfront City to train, and ten percent of them would be blessed with the cleansing of God Power to become Saint Hall Cavalry. Year after year, that same process has continued, and now we have around two thousand people. To assist Waterfront City this time, we sent eight hundred Saint Hall Cavalry.”

I frowned and said, ”Send people over to Waterfront City and call the Saint Hall Cavalry back. From now on, without my orders, the Saint Hall Cavalry cannot participate in other battles.”

”Yes, General!”

”Apart from that, can I select a portion of people to be trained by you to become Saint Hall Cavalry?”

”Yes.”

”Even if they don't have any faith and don't believe in your god?” I smiled and asked.

You Qian's face was filled with helplessness, ”General if you want, then everything is okay...”

”Okay...” I said, ”What do you need from me if I have enough power?”

You Qian said, ”The cows and sheep we use for ceremonies and all our daily items come from Waterfront City. That’s the reason why we headed over there after hearing the King’s orders.”

I thought about it and said, ”In the future, Tian Ling City will provide monthly provisions for you all. Moving forward, you all will only listen to Tian Ling City. I will also send ten thousand elite troops over. Do what you deem fit, and train as many Saint Hall Cavalry as you can. As for those who don't succeed, just increase their current combat strength.”

Grand Priest Ling Dong was slightly shocked, ”General, we... we are all believers of faith and we not tools for war, you.. you will make Bright God Hall lose its faith...”

I couldn't help but laugh, ”I am a soldier and don't believe in any gods. I only know that humans are being killed by demons and the Hybrid Demon Army is wiping us out. Your so-called god has been silent and no one has come down from above to save us. If there really is a god, then Dragon City's Frost is the only god who fought for mankind. She is my teacher, so does such faith count?”

You Qian was stunned, ”Oh my... the Frost Goddess is your master? General... Bright God Hall will follow your orders and we won't go against it!”

I nodded my head, ”That’s good. And if any human attacks Bright God Hall, you all have to fight back. Your Bright God Hall will only listen to me.”

”Yes, General!”

You Qian looked towards me and said, ”I think General won’t be able to come every time, so please leave us some words such that when we see your writing, we will know that it is yours. How about that?”

”Okay!”

The priest beside him took out a piece of paper and a brush. I wrote a really big Li Xiao Yao on it with my unique handwriting and then I drew a heart. The two Grand Priests’ mouths opened wide, not knowing what that heart was. They nodded, ”What General draws isn't something that mortals can understand. We have remembered it and with this handwriting, we will know when General has orders for us.”

”Alright, I will be leaving now!”

I looked northwest and smiled, ”Waterfront City is going to have a change in Masters. From today on, Waterfront City will belong to Tian Ling Empire. Do you all get it? If anyone else from Waterfront City comes, you don't have to bother about them.”

”Yes, General!”

I walked out of the Bright God Hall confidently and a bunch of Saint Hall Cavalry knelt down. I muttered to myself and wondered — was that Saint Heaven Jade really that powerful? Gosh, I couldn't help but sigh. Pearl and Emperor Rob probably didn't know the effects of this Saint Heaven Jade, right? If they knew about it, Pearl would have just sent two thousand Saint Hall Cavalry from Bright God Hall to fight and maybe she wouldn't have died.

I couldn't help but feel emotional after thinking about that. Life was like a flower — if Pearl could see everything I’ve done since she died, she would be happy, right? If I could make her spirit feel delighted, then everything would’ve been worth it.

After walking out of Bright God Hall, I looked out at Clear Black Eyes’ troops and my head shuddered. Lin Tian Nan told me to unify the seven main cities, but he didn't know about the complicated power struggle within. To fulfill this goal, who knows how many more enemies I will face and how many loved ones will I let down? How many more things would I have to do against my conscience? Forget it — men have to achieve things in this world. If I created legacy, then this life would be worth it.

I flew up into the clouds and looked back at Clear Black Eyes. She also raised her head and looked back at me. Clear Black Eyes's goals very clear and it was even quite apparent. She had to answer to the India Region which is why she wanted to discuss Waterfront City with us to find the best solution. Was she a friend and not a really terrifying enemy? Probably not.

This world was never a fairy tale and there wasn't that much love and warmth.

……

Waterfront City. This lone city was already on its final legs. The retreat of the Saint Hall Cavalry caused them to lose their final resistance. On the ground, Lin Wan Er, Li Mu, and Yue Qing Qian all pushed forward. Many KING members died under our firepower net. Notifications rang in our ears and even KING_MARY and LEE had died twice. If they died again, they would lose four levels. Most of them probably weren't willing to suffer such consequences.
