Chapter 189: They were invited
After that, Vlad turned to the nineteen bloodline soldiers and thought for a moment before giving the group an order. "Return to the Royal Guards for more military training. You should start training as a single unit. While your performance during the ambush against the angels was good, there is still much to be desired."
The nineteen bloodline soldiers, their eyes sharp with anticipation, bowed to Vlad and silently left. They were determined to enhance their powers and become even more valuable in the future.
Ultimately, only Vlad, Jormungandr, Grand Marshal Anglius, and Chief Councilor Aloz remained. This group constituted the central command of the Xaos Kingdom, and their decisions and commands influenced the entire military power amassed over the last year.
Vlad focused on Chief Councilor Aloz, recalling that the man had mentioned urgent matters needing attention. He nodded to the old man before signaling the group to follow him.
The group calmly walked until they reached a massive metallic structure. Towering over ten meters high, it exuded an imposing aura that filled everyone with awe and wonder.
A wide smile appeared on Vlad’s face as he saw how much the Xaos Tower had advanced. It would only be a matter of days before Vlad and Jormungandr could extend the magic and runic engravings from the first floor to the other three, allowing the tower to absorb the world’s energy with ferocious efficiency.
The two Depravitas, along with the Grand Marshal and Chief Councilor, entered the tower and saw how the first floor was bustling with people. Soldiers and civilian officers carried out all sorts of tasks.
While the Xaos Tower was a formidable weapon and a crucial asset for investigation projects, its primary function was to serve as the logistical hub for the entire kingdom. Centralizing all operations within it would facilitate alignment, especially once the A.I. Chip clone was installed.
Though many people noticed the arrival of the four leaders, none of them slacked off. They continued with their tasks and ensured they did not disturb the leaders of the Xaos Kingdom.
Vlad and his group headed to the stairs and soon descended to the underground level, the most secure area to which only the Xaos King could grant access.
"You can speak now," Vlad said in a calm tone, detecting the energy flooding the area. Not only was this place excellent for training, but the radiation made it nearly impossible for anyone to spy on them.
