Chapter 1658 - Unrequited (1) (1/2)
”The Sea Faction will specialize in deep water battles…”
After learning of the Dark Ocean from Ri, Dyon realized that the number of otherworldly environments in the martial world were innumerous. How could Dyon, a mere mortal, ever imagine a day when he'd meet a vast ocean than spanned almost 30 universes total?
Now, imagine for a moment if Dyon came up against an enemy who was born and raised in such an environment? What would happen if he blindly charged, leading his army into the depths of the ocean? Wouldn't he be asking to be wiped out? What chance would he stand?
In line with this logic, Dyon had plans for numerous smaller factions that he would fit into these larger four main factions. He wanted to be prepared for any sort of environment whether it be the ocean floor, the depths of a volcano, or a chilling ice cap. He wanted an army capable of adapting to anything.
”The Sea Faction will prioritize the nurturing of water will path cultivators and water type beasts just as the Air Faction will prioritize wind will path cultivators and beasts. Much like the Air Faction, while the Land Faction could fight in the sea as well, it will be the Sea Factions' duty to dominate the seas.
”Their rankings will be as followed: Seaman, Naval Squadron Captain of 10 men, Naval Second Lieutenant of 100 men, Naval First Lieutenant of 1000 men, Naval Captain of 10 000 men, Naval Major of 100 000 men, Vice Commodore of 1 000 000 men, Commodore of 10 000 000 men, Rear Admiral of 100 000 000 men, Vice Admiral of 1 000 000 000 men, and finally, Admiral of 10 000 000 000 men.
”Much like the Air and Land Factions, Admirals will also have the opportunity to earn stars.”
Dyon could see the skeptical look on the faces of those around him. Was it really necessary to invest so much in a task force tailored to the sea? It seemed a bit silly. After all, they weren't mortals, and this wasn't the mortal world. Whether it was land, sea, the air, or even the depths of space, cultivators could easily fight in them all.
However, Dyon didn't bother to explain. These were matters that could only prove their worth with time.
”Finally, there is the Array Alchemy Faction. This should be self-explanatory.
”Many of you have been bred to believe that alchemy and formation theory should be kept separate and apart, but this philosophy is wrong. Still, while I have my staunch beliefs in such things, I will allow youths to pick their own paths. As for those good enough to understand the value of fusing both principles, they will enter the Array Alchemy Faction.
