Chapter 740: Victory is not the end (II)
Lurin had a week to prove his abilities, or else Scarlet General James, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, would undoubtedly take the young man's position of Scarlet Ambassador and hand it to someone else.
Shortly after Cain finished, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar stepped forward with a frown.
"My King, permission to speak freely."
Cain turned to the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and nodded.
"Go ahead."
"My King, why must we integrate those people into the Scarlet Alliance? They were unwilling to make a move when we needed them the most, facing The Organization and the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army."
The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar paused at this point, taking a deep breath and controlling his rage. It was clear how he felt about the people in the Prometheus Sector, seeing them as nothing more than cowards. Although it might sound extreme, it was a normal sentiment, especially in the eyes of the warriors present, who risked their lives while those in the capital did not move a finger.
"With you leading us, I am sure we have the power to breach into the Silver City and take control of the capital. There is no need to court those cowards."
Cain stared at the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar for a second and saw that some great generals silently nodded, agreeing with the man's words.
"With you and the Collapsing Lightning Duke by my side, I could indeed breach into the Silver City. However, the city's defenses are nothing short of extraordinary, so I will have to use all my power. Before the fight ends, nearly a third of the city would have been blown to pieces."
