All the soldiers gathered in the hall without exception. The generals forced out even those already in the banker's quarters. They could not fight back because the generals were higher rank than them.

Even if they protested, they could not win since the top three generals stood next to Elara and Zeke. That was enough proof that the generals were beside the 'rebels.'

"Everyone is here, right? It's good because I don't have to look for the people I must beat up!" Zeke was the first to speak up.

Not all the soldiers had sour and nervous faces. Some stood up happily because the one standing before them was the Great Commander's messenger.

"Can you explain this, Legendary General?" A soldier standing in the front row asked while staring intently at Bertolt. He was General Stefan, who belonged to the Ronin side.

Bertolt smiled. "That is the same question I asked you when you defected from the Great Commander. Like your answer back then, I also took the favorable side."

"You fool! You'll onl

    The soldiers who could hear Bertolt's words were upset. They felt the Legendary General had demeaned the Stealth Brigade."You've already committed a grave offense by supporting the rebels. And now, you insult an elite unit!" Major Vienna exclaimed loudly, her voice reaching to the very back of the line.Francesca snorted. "You got promoted without merit for sucking up to the President. A talentless person like you doesn't need to speak up!""Junior General Francesca, I will report your disrespectful attitude! When the elite unit comes, you can no longer be so arrogant. Your rank will be lowered!""I'm not power-hungry like you, Major. You used your family's wealth to get your rank. Do you think I'll be afraid of your threats?"Vienna's face flushed with anger and shame. A major was indeed lower than a general. Nevertheless, since Vienna belonged to Ronin's side, her position was higher than Francesca or Cassian's other supporters.After Ronin became the highest leader, the Great Comm

    Zeke defeated the wounded soldiers in an instant. His powerful attacks caused their wounds to worsen, leaving them completely powerless. They thought it was the end of their lives, but Zeke simply walked away after defeating them."Thank goodness that Hellhound is gone," muttered a soldier in a trembling voice, clutching the gunshot wound on his shoulder.Another soldier replied under his breath, "He could have killed us, but didn't because he was following the Commander's orders."These words made the soldiers fall silent. As Zeke said, they should be grateful to Cassian for sparing their lives.Although Cassian was not present, his influence was still there. Not only Zeke but the Commander's supporters went crazy as soon as they heard his news. Even the top three generals could change drastically just because of one order."I'm glad Colonel Elara tortured us first, so we don't have to face those crazy supporters," a soldier stared in horror at the battle.The uninjured soldiers hidi

    The Stealth Brigade did not always show up to handle big problems in the military. Instead, the country would usually deploy soldiers from other bases to help the general headquarters. It was strange because neither of the two came to help.The battle was intense, and even the Commander's supporters were confused. They were ready to sacrifice their lives to face the elite unit, but apparently, Ronin had not sent anyone."Major Lars, are you playing around? Go back to the Security Control Room and send another signal!" Stefan ordered, gritting his teeth as he felt his bullet wound throbbing with pain.Lars shook his head. "How could I joke around in a serious situation? I also can't believe that the Minister of Security hasn't taken any action on this matter," he answered honestly.He and Captain Yvan were not dragged to the hall like the others. Instead, Elara ordered them to send a request for help to the President. Ronin surprisingly ordered Virgil not to deal with the incident this

    Quickly, Timo and Vienna noticed the shot came from a tank far away from their van. The muzzle of a long gun could be seen rising from the tank before Elara finally appeared."Damn it, since when was the Colonel there?" Vienna cursed. The bullet hit the van's tire, making it impossible for her and Timo to drive it."Get down!" exclaimed Timo, pulling Vienna to hide in the cargo space.Elara closed one eye as she aimed at the van. "No one leaves here without Commander's approval!" she exclaimed before pulling the trigger.Everyone in the military knew she fought better with a gun. Her second shot shattered the van's glass and lodged itself in the back seat. Ordinary people might think she missed, but actually, she had targeted the glass from the start.It was a warning shot that created a distraction that forced the enemy to come out. Unfortunately, Vienna and Timo preferred to stay hidden.Cold sweat ran down Timo's temples as he searched for a weapon. Although he was higher in rank t

    Inside the briefing room, the top three generals were seated while fifteen other people stood behind them. Meanwhile, Elara and Zeke sat opposite the top three generals. There were a total of twenty people there, all with serious faces."It's good to see you again," Elara greeted them all.Ruth nodded. "We have no choice but to wait here. We are not like two people who move without orders to follow the Commander," she said with a hint of sarcasm and humor.The military members of the Phantom Legion knew each other automatically over time; they just did not know the members outside. Of those present now, only Elara and Zeke knew that Franklin was a member."I apologize for acting on my own. It was a stroke of luck that the Commander forgave me and General Zeke," Elara stated solemnly.Rules are rules. Cassian asked the soldiers in the Phantom Legion not to follow him, but Elara and Zeke broke the rules. He could have punished them, but since he did nothing, it proved that their mutuali

    The meeting between the Phantom Legion military members did not last long. The top three generals had agreed to take the others to train in Axion, the city where the fighters of Weltaria lived. They could develop their skills there while waiting for the Narman Empire's attack."Remember, we are always ready to help. Call us if you need it," Bertolt said before the meeting ended.Zeke shook his hand and hugged him briefly. "We hope we don't need your help. Because if we do, it means we're facing a powerful enemy.""Then you must be strong because you are accompanying Commander right now. Many people want to take your position, so do your job well!""Of course. I don't want to give my position to anyone else."The annoying grin on Zeke's face made the others want to slap him. They also wanted to accompany Cassian up close like Zeke and Elara. Unfortunately, they could only move on command.They were members of the Phantom Legion recruited from the military. Their duties are always relat

    The chatting investors immediately stopped because of Cassian's controversial remarks. He claimed to hold more shares than them, so they could not ignore him.The woman who introduced herself as Lara stared at Cassian in disbelief. "How many shares exactly do you have?" she asked."Fifty percent," Cassian answered without stammering. His aura of confidence spread, but no one could believe him.A young man in the front seat stood up and approached Cassian, followed by several other investors. With a disgusted look, he said, "How dare you lie here! I'm Julian Evans, son of the owner of CE Production, and I've never seen you!""Of course, you haven't because you're not interested in business. It was your father who made the deal with me," Cassian replied calmly.Julian clenched his fists. It was true that he did not actively manage the company because all he did was have fun. However, he always attended shareholder meetings because his father gave him some shares.He had never seen Cassi

    "Young Master, we need to kick this imposter out quickly. According to rumors, he's a madman and could cause a ruckus at the meeting," Morgan warned, remembering Cassian had unreasonable strength.Julian gave Morgan a cold look. "You got the CE Production shares thanks to my help. If you speak again, I'll ask my father to kick you off the list of major investors," he shot back threateningly.Hearing that, Morgan shut his mouth and returned to his seat. He had already lost a lot by withdrawing his investment from Tiny Treats. Losing his stake in CE Production would cost him even more, forcing him to obey Julian.Moments later, Charles Evans entered the hall, followed by three large shareholders behind him. They were Zeno, the owner of Weltaria Bank, Pamela Erickson, the fourth richest person in the country, and Peter, who had many connections with the underground.Charles was no longer in his productive years, but his powerful aura still shone through. All the investors directly stood

    Stefan's actions triggered several other soldiers to do the same—remove all the symbols that marked their positions in the military. While it looked like the same action, they had different reasons for doing so. Not everyone feared the Military Prison.People like Stefan simply wanted to fight because it was their duty to protect the country. Not many soldiers thought this way, as most of them chose to fight to avoid punishment.Cassian raised an eyebrow when he realized that some soldiers were still unwilling to surrender to him. It caught his attention because they were faces he did not recognize."I appreciate differing opinions. Therefore, I will not force anyone to go to the battlefield. Anyone who prefers punishment can line up over there," he instructed, pointing to the left.The soldiers who refused to fight quickly formed their line. Major Vienna stood at the front, pride still etched on her face."I'm sorry, I don't recognize all of you." Cassian walked toward the line on th

    Cassian walked with his hands resting behind his back while Elara and Zeke fell into line with the other soldiers. Rasmus did not join the formation since he was not part of Weltaria's military. He stood at the very back, alone, in a rigid posture.The soldiers, who had initially been standing in disarray, automatically corrected their formation. Cassian gazed at any soldiers who had been out of line for a long time, urging them to follow the rules. Though they did not want to obey, their muscle memory forced them to comply with their commander's commanding gaze."A fine day, isn't it, comrades?" Cassian greeted, lifting his head to look at the clear sky. "This weather is perfect for the Narman Empire to strike. They would suffer great losses if they attacked during winter and rain."He looked back at the soldiers, still wearing his usual calm smile. "I heard that you've become weak lately. Why don't you head to the border and hold off the enemy forces?"The silence was thick, and no

    All the soldiers at the General Headquarters were sitting quietly in the shared lounge when they received the news that the Narman forces had breached the northern border near the cities of Valen and Hawke. The military base in Weltaria had fallen, allowing the enemy to enter easily. Virgil had deployed the soldiers from the branch headquarters, but everyone knew that it would not hold for long."What are we going to do? If we keep staying still, the enemy will eventually attack us," Major Vienna said, hugging her trembling body.A lieutenant general named Agnes snorted. "You got promoted because of your connection to the President. No wonder you're scared. If it were me, I'd face the enemy with my strength," she responded sarcastically."How dare you insult me! You wouldn't dare say that in front of the President, would you? You coward!" Vienna retorted."That's true," Major General Sylvia responded, rolling her eyes. "But we're all tired of this new system. How can someone get promo

    Ronin's departure left a sorrowful silence for a while. Those in the President's faction did not understand why they should feel sad when Ronin had betrayed them. They thought they would be indifferent after their former leader left, but instead, they felt an indescribable emotion.However, there was no time for mourning. Cassian clapped his hands a few times to regain everyone's attention."I do have a personal vendetta against Ronin, but he has also committed crimes that deserve punishment. This means I will drag everyone involved with him to trial," he declared.Everyone in the President's faction stood tense, unhappy with the topic but knowing it was coming. Cassian must be saying this because he had irrefutable evidence."But instead of conventional punishment, I want to give you a noble chance to redeem yourselves," Cassian said with a smile.Rather than feeling relieved, the President's supporters grew anxious because they knew Cassian would not let them off easily."I'd rather

    The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise from the participants about the Soul Essence. Since cultivators existed, all the military forces in the world had to develop weapons that could match their power. This was the beginning of the creation of energy weapons, as not everyone could cultivate.For instance, Weltaria had more soldiers who could not cultivate than those who could. To balance the gap, the country had no choice but to invest heavily in purchasing energy-based ammunition that could only be used on special weapons.The price was beyond question. It was undoubtedly expensive, and Weltaria lacked the funds to purchase enough energy weaponry. This is why Ronin called upon wealthy, influential families, including the Hawthornes, as he needed their help."Can your words be trusted? I've never heard of energy bullets that can destroy cores. If it only weakens them, that's still reasonable," Ronin voiced his skepticism, hoping that Cassian was exaggerating.Cassian placed his

    Valoric was a word that none of the participants had expected to come up in this emergency meeting. They could indeed use the Valoric inheritance to benefit the country, but Mabel would not let that happen because everything had to follow the law.Everyone was shocked by the reality that the heir to the legendary family still existed. The officials had already imagined that everything Valoric owned would fall into their hands within the next fifteen years. Even though they would not be in office by that time, they could still place their relatives in government positions to corrupt it."W-Wait a minute!" Mabel stuttered, raising both of her hands. "You need to discuss this with the President first."Cassian glanced at Ronin briefly and laughed. "I'm sure that's unnecessary. The President already knows I'm the only remaining heir of Valoric.""What? He should've told me immediately!""Well, there must be a reason he kept it a secret. Even the top three richest people in the country hav

    The officials who came from various regions grew even more uneasy because of Gabriel's words. They had no idea what had happened to the Commander in Lumithorn City or the capital. Cassian had never disturbed them, so they had no interest in finding out anything about him. It was natural that they felt the most disadvantaged in this situation."Sir, I have worked well as the governor of Nothford. I feel it's unfair that I'm trapped in the internal conflict between you and the Commander," said Jed, speaking on behalf of the other officials who had no involvement in the President's personal issues.Ronin raised his hand while shaking his head, signaling everyone to stop talking. "The Commander didn't bother you because there was nothing in your region that caught his attention. But do you think he truly ignores you? He must have secretly investigated your crimes ever since you actually sided with my government.""Are you trying to provoke the officials to hate the Commander?" Gabriel int

    "I will remove Ronin from his position and claim the Narman Empire as part of Weltaria once we win. We can do anything once we have power," Cassian continued as he applied ointment to the wound on Elara's leg.It was a medicine he had developed together with Franklin, using rare new herbs they cultivated at the villa in Victory Hills. The ointment was effective for healing wounds caused by cultivation attacks or other objects with similar effects, such as energy bullet rifles.The ointment had been in development for a long time and was only perfected after the three-year war ended. Narman was currently detaining Franklin because he had been involved with Ronin's secret project. However, the ointments had been safely stored in the basement of the Victory Hills villa."Doctor Franklin succeeded," Elara said as her wound slowly closed and the pain subsided. "We can use this ointment for the injured soldiers later!""That was exactly my plan. Doctor Franklin also developed a stronger ant

    Cassian did not accept the paper and merely read the address once to memorize it. He walked out of the Weltaria Hall of Culture without saying anything further. After his departure, people could finally breathe a sigh of relief as his dominating aura vanished.They rubbed their throats, which had previously felt constricted, making it impossible for them to speak. The air around them returned to normal, and they were never more grateful to breathe freely."What was that just now? I wanted to flee quickly, but I couldn't move my body," one of the guests whispered when he finally managed to move again.Others had the same reaction once they could move their bodies. They cheered in joy, forgetting that they had just been throwing things at Ronin. Cassian had quietly calmed them with his dominant aura, allowing them to think clearly.The most important task now was evacuating civilians to a safe zone. Cassian would not prioritize his revenge on Ronin or the people who had once humiliated
