Chapter 195 Path to New Beginning
"Imperial Lightning Fort!"
The shout of the soldiers reached all the way to the Captains, and they could not help but smile as they saw how Cain took advantage of the moment to boost morale while pressuring the students.
You needed more than brute strength to become a great military leader. Powerful cultivation made you a good soldier, but a good commander was someone wise enough to know how to explode the power of the others around you, and Cain was a master in it.
"That brat. No matter how you look at him, he is the perfect army weapon." Aaron spoke with respect in his voice, and the other Captains softly nodded.
Amos and Dominic did not care at the beginning that the state of the soldiers was better than that of the students since, for starters, they only cared about the strong ones, but there was also the fact they were younger and would be able to increase their cultivation exponentially during the next few months. Yet, Cain's actions made the duo look very bad in contrast, and if there was something they did care about was their reputation.
Ultimately, the duo could do nothing, so they only looked away and entered the command center.
Cain saw that his feat had the intended effect and smiled before walking straight into his residence, and right before entering, he shouted.
"We will continue our march in two days. Use this time to rest and take advantage of the military credits you have amassed. I left a book called Path to New Beginning in the military network. You can look at it if you so desire."
The soldiers were ecstatic about the day off since they were exhausted, and although Cain took the decision without consulting them, none of the Vice-Captains said a word about it. According to their calculations, overcoming their first encounter with a horde led by Wave Champion Beasts would have taken four days, but they did it in just one.
