Chapter 657: Enhancing great generals (I)
There were 15 individuals on the highest level of the Titan Tower gazing at the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, the Patriarch of the Aegon Family, and the Scarlet King.
Nine of these people were Titans while the others were Middle Divine Ascension Masters, and each of them was a great general of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance with hundreds of thousands, and in some cases, millions of soldiers under their command.
Although they were all able to maintain a composed expression and did not show any sign, it was easy to see the worry and doubt in their hearts, something that disturbed the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.
The soldiers' morale had significantly risen thanks to the weapons, armor, resources, and healing drugs, as it would help them improve their chances of survival in a war that raged in their homes.
However, things were more complex with these generals. While they had followed the Collapsing Lightning Duke into war and obeyed his command, they had the authority to leave Gaia's north with their families and take refuge in the south. While extremely dishonorable, it was not so unbelievable.
There should have been five other Titans present. Still, once those Sector Dukes noticed the Imperial Court did not enforce their defense of the northern Sectors, they chose to escape, leaving ordinary people to defend themselves.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke was furious with those Sector Dukes and wanted nothing more than to rip them to pieces for their cowardice, but he could not give himself the luxury of exerting personal vendettas with a war to lead. So, he ignored them but made sure to remember their names.
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar took a deep breath as he stepped forward and made his energy burst, drawing everybody's attention.
Although they would be following Cain's plan, the one that would take the lead while the Collapsing Lightning Duke recovered was going to be the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, as the man was already a legendary figure in the army. Cain had no problem with it, as he understood he was no longer on the Hyperion Continent, where his word was practically law.
Actually, he preferred that way since, without having to lead, he could instead focus on his power.
"My friends, I can see the doubt that assails your minds and the dread that creeps into your hearts, but I assure you, the battle is far from over.
The Scarlet King brought with him resources and weapons that would improve the might of our troops, from the weakest Wave Warrior all the way to the Early Divine Ascension Masters, not to mention that the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation will give us an edge every second of our next skirmish."
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar's voice was booming with power, reminding all the great generals of the feats Cain performed. This was done not only out of gratitude but because they needed to raise the young man's figure to the point of myth if they wanted the plan to work.
