Chapter 150: Life just got a bit difficult (1/2)

”As an imperial knight, you are allowed to create your own forces and have any clan of choice submit at least thirty percent of their military force but I see you have no intentions of creating a force of outsiders… Am I correct?” Emperor Fei said with a raised eyebrow and Lucien nodded in agreement.

He may be an imperial knight and a viscount now but many didn't care. In their opinion, Lucien I still a fourteen year old who got lucky and now acts like a big shot. In this chaotic era that is about to begin, Lucien didn't bother with strength, all he wished for is loyalty. That's why he would rather have an army of fifty that he can trust than a hundred thousand forces that may stab him in the back at a critical moment.

”Yes… I intend to expand my territory and circle… I wish to recruit some young, promising youths to join my side and my main force, for now, will consist of spirit beast cultivators…” Lucien answered honestly, with his head bowed.

”Very well… You may leave and prepare your people… We will have the war meeting without you but be rest assured, you will be informed of our decisions” Emperor Fei said and the wuxing clan head nodded his head in agreement.

”Thank you!” Lucien said before he turned and left, not looking back.

Seeing his figure that constantly released small amounts of gray mist, Emperor Fei couldn't help but smile. Lucien is someone who he couldn't predict his future or how far he will go. You make plans and suddenly he gains an unknown power and stuns everyone. This is what he wished to see in the young emperor candidate. In his opinion, Lucien is more capable than all nobles here. If he is actually able to get these spirit beast cultivators to his side, he will be the first man to bring spirit cultivators and body cultivators together to form a clan!

This is no small achievement!

When Lucien left the royal court he quickly headed towards the academy. The first person he wished to recruit is someone capable of playing the guardian role over his younger recruits. Someone whose strength may be overlooked and underestimated but Lucien could see his true potential.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

Lucien was in a royal carriage when the notifications appeared. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to take a look at it and see what's up.
