Chapter 601: Scarlet Inquisition Force (II)
"Army Commander Laurifer, while we are under your command by Imperial Decree, even the Emperor shows deference and respect toward us. Your actions are an invasion of privacy and one that we could not tolerate without a reason."
After speaking those words, General Amalia took a step back, standing with the rest of the Titans. While the others did not say a word, the expression on their faces made it clear they shared the woman's feelings.
Cain could feel the immense pressure of being under the sharp and intense gazes of those people who were ready to resist him, but even then he did not yield or falter.
"Your words are right. My actions are an invasion of your privacy that would normally not be needed or even tolerated. Yet, for this mission, it is required."
Cain made a small pause at this point as he focused on the soldiers and his eyes began to burn with a monstrous red light full of willpower.
"The reason for this military force is the complete destruction of all Tier 0 Dark Factions in the Hyperion Continent, along with the decimation and dismantlement of the rest of the Dark Factions. Our timeframe is a single year."
When the Titans heard those words, a sense of shock and disbelief appeared in their eyes. The mission Cain had just described was something everybody in the Imperial Army would want to see, but they accepted it as an impossible task.
Cain could see that many of the soldiers were looking at him as if he was a madman. They did not believe he could succeed and that all this would be one great waste of time. Yet, all that was fine by him.
"I know many of you might think I am delusional, and that my youth and inexperience are making me aim for an impossible goal. I don't need you to believe my words, only to obey my commands and see the results."
The ten Titans focused on Cain as he spoke those words and, while they were still shocked, they all silently nodded. Even if they did not believe the young man's goal could be achieved, they were given a task and would fulfill it.
