Chapter 558: Military Logistics Center
Vlad smiled and nodded immediately at the Marshal’s request. After all, the runes were precisely the reason he and his companions had received such favorable treatment. Seeing Vlad agree so readily brought a satisfied smile to Marshal Maximo’s face.
"Excellent," the Marshal said. "Of course, I understand that schedules can break down in the chaos of the battlefield, but as long as you record those problems, we’ll be fine."
He delivered these words with an understanding tone, as though he wanted to make things as easy as possible for Vlad. Then, without warning, the Marshal’s gaze turned cold, and a powerful aura flooded the throne room.
"Everything regarding the Darkness Devouring Runic Formations is now classified information," he declared. "Any leak or unauthorized dissemination of this knowledge will be considered an act of treason, punishable by death!"
His last words reverberated through the hall, casting an ominous pall on the hearts of everyone present—especially Agamenon and Zalasar.
The Legends who were also in attendance were all trusted subordinates of the Marshal, comrades who had fought and bled alongside him. Meanwhile, the other Depravitas were Vlad’s closest friends, so the only potential wild cards in the audience were indeed the pair from the Solaris Clan.
Agamenon and Zalasar both bowed deeply at once, indicating their strict compliance. They might have been high-ranking nobles, but they were well aware that, in the Marshal’s eyes, Vlad’s value to the Golden Sky Fortress far outweighed the privileges of the Solaris Clan. The runic technique he held could be the key to saving countless lives, including those of some of the fortress’s top combatants.
Once certain that his message had taken root, Marshal Maximo withdrew his suffocating aura. His gaze then swung back to Vlad and the other Depravitas.
"You should head to the Military Logistics Center in the middle ring," the Marshal said. "There, you’ll receive equipment that matches your new military ranks as well as your badges. You’ll also be assigned a residence. Since you are now Barons, you’ll live within the middle ring—but if you play your cards right, it won’t be long before you make it to the inner ring."
Vlad, Jormungandr, Ouroboros, and Fafnir all smiled and bowed their heads toward the Marshal in gratitude. With everything settled, Maximo gave a wave of his hand, dismissing both the Depravitas and the Solaris Clan duo. None of them hesitated or lingered; they all took their leave promptly, paying their respects as they exited the throne room.
