Chapter 153 - Called for (2/2)
Vanishing from their view, he left Matthias standing there with a card and scroll in hand. ”Bring it over.” Matthias did as told and walked up to pass the scroll and card over without hesitation, not forgetting to inform Nightin what the purpose of the card was.
Taking over the scroll in hand, he could tell that the scroll had just been written not long ago, the material used was enchanted dragon hide which is one of the rarest materials even in the Overlord realms. For the scroll to have been written on dragon hide was more than extravagant, yet the process of enchanting it actually requires more than ten Great Saints to spend at least tens of years together, making the scroll a protective treasure strong enough to deflect any attacks below the Overlord realm attack power.
Just who wrote this and what does he have for me? Nightin thinks to himself, not forgetting to instruct Matthias to leave the room and stand guard outside first. Sensing that Matthias began to cultivate once stepping out, he didn't stop him and instead allowed him to do as he wants. What he wants is a soldier that serves him with the true intentions to do so.
Opening the scroll, the contents takes on life as they floated around him with an enchanting feeling, the characters were of a dazzling golden and were spinning around him, quick and graceful, but slow enough to be read.
”Young noble, I'm the Emperor of the Voyager Kingdom and I'm sure that you are curious about the reason why I called for you. It was the True General of my Voyager Kingdom who recommended you to me. The reason, he actually recommended you as a genius to me and knowing him too well just like the back of my palm, I tentatively appoint you as the trainer of all ten thousand soldiers. If you have any further details to discuss with me, just press on the red button. If everything is fine and you have no further qualms or objections, the press on the blue button.”
As the voice fades, Nightin pushes the red button and left behind a voice message ”I'll be heading over the the meeting chamber shown in the map carved on the token, see you there in ten minutes.”
Beep!
”He replied instantly without any hesitation, Lionel, what else do you have to say?” The second General Silver question fiercely in the face of everyone present, confidence on his face. Even though Nightin may have been described to be someone with maturity beyond his age and respectable moral character, his current actions doesn't seem to be in tune with what Lionel had told them.
”Are you jumping to conclusions as well? Just wait and you'll see what I mean. Emperor, did you mention something in the messaging scroll for him to request an audience with you?” Lionel retorted back to keep his strong stand while asking the Emperor another question peacefully. This is what makes him a true man worthy of respect in the eyes of others, he never backs down and will always stand above his rivals and those trying to put him down.
”You know me too well Silver, there isn't even a time where my actions can deceive you and your eyes.” The Voyager Emperor says with appreciation in his eyes, breaking out into laughter which no one dares to interrupt.
”That's right, I appointed him the trainer of ten thousand soldiers and he'll be leading them to the battlefield, but these ten thousand soldiers excluding Matthias who has made up his mind to serve him, are just ordinary soldiers around the middle stage Martial King realm. His opponent this time will be from the Savage tribe which has mysteriously suffered defeat and losing strength in these twenty years, before they merged with the barbarians and hunters at least.
Now they call themselves the trinity predators and go around attacking any city they could find, plundering any village they could locate, that is the true essence of being cultivators of the wild and every time people hear their name, they fear them.
An army led by three Great Saints at the early stage were the dominant force excluding the first grade kingdoms and that was the reason to back up their arrogance and cockiness, The first grade kingdoms had been wanting to take them out since a long time ago, but they were always lurking in the shadows, unable to be located, now that there was information on their location from their intelligence and that they were near the Voyager Kingdom at the moment, the Emperor had been intending to send some youths to conquer them. Now that there were two perfect candidates for the spot, he had to ensure that they were given the experience and chance to be on the battlefield and experience the true definition of war.
Outside the main gate, two youths could be seen staring at each other in curiosity. They were Ash and Nightin, each wearing a cloak of black and red respectively. Being someone who doesn't like to initiate conversations, Nightin waited for Ash to speak up. ”Hey, what's your name? Did you request for an audience with the Emperor as well to discuss about the upcoming war?”
”Upcoming war? I've only heard about me being assigned a trainer to lead ten thousand soldiers into the battlefield, name is Nightin by the way.” After a short introduction, Ash explained ”The name's Ash. You may not know about this, but I was also assigned around eight thousand soldiers and if the information I've managed to gather were sufficient and accurate, then we're being sent on a mission to deal with some nearby tribes that gathered together, forming a force known as the Trinity Predators.”
