Chapter 86
86 Sinar County
It did not take long for cadets to reach the southwest position.
Lurin was at the lead and immediately noticed the nearly one hundred soldiers resting around a broken building. All of them looked exhausted and had all sorts of wounds on their bodies, making it clear just how hard the last few days had been for them.
The soldiers also detected Lurin, Beelze, Levi, and the other cadets. Most of them showed curiosity in their eyes, but some did not react so friendly seeing a group of young cadets coming their way.
Lurin noticed that, but not even for a second did he show a flash of hesitation or weakness. He might not have Cain’s imposing aura that pushed everybody into compliance, but he had trained his entire life for a moment like this.
Once Lurin was one hundred meters away from the broken building where the soldiers rested, he raised his hand, stopping everybody. All the cadets, including Beelze and Levi, followed his command.
Beelze and Levi did not show any rebellious behavior. Soldiers needed a leader in a moment like this, and while they felt more comfortable following someone they knew, Cain handed the leadership to Lurin, and they trusted their friend’s instincts.
Lurin did not look back but saw how everybody followed that simple command the instant he gave it, allowing his aura to rise even mightier, making his next move easier.
“I am Lurin Sinar. Vice-Captain Razmun sent us to this location to provide reinforcement and take leadership.” Lurin then took out the crystal card Razmun handed to Cain and sent a copy of the information to all the nearby soldiers.
Cain was still looking down, enduring the mental pain of using his Ego Wave and restraining his bloodline’s emotional outburst. A small smile appeared on his face as he heard Lurin’s words.

‘Good, he spoke clearly from the beginning, stating our role and position to everybody.’
