Legendary Sword God Sect - Chapter 155

“Aren’t you guys just soldiers made up from figments of imagination? How are all of you standing before me right now just like any other human soldier?” Nightin asks as he approaches one of the soldiers which left a deeper imprint in his mind, he was the one who started to understand him first and took a stand to support him before the others.

“General, we are indeed just soldiers made up from figments of imagination, but then the controller who created us said that you owe him three thousand years as the price for creating us without ending our lives within a year. He told me that the only reason you have the privilege to keep us alive, is because he sees potential in you which exceeds even him. The controller who created actual lives actually admitted that someone has higher potential than him after that before sending us off.”

But who was he? He is the person who created a trail full of actual living beings all by himself, his capabilities might be unmatched even when compared to those in the Overlord realm and yet he actually praised someone for not just having high talent with boundless potential, but as someone with talent who exceeds him.

“Why did he decide on that still? How did he determine my potential when I left midway before the trails could even be finished? Or was he in view of the whole process of me learning the nine professions?” Nightin asks again, realizing that the place he left for was most likely under control as well.

“I’m not sure how he did so or where you left to, but I just know that his abilities shouldn’t even exist or belong to this world, he didn’t feel human to me, yet I could sense his sincere concern for us. The controller had the intention to help you, or even help us to…”

“Argh!” That soldier groaned in pain before he could finish speaking, his body twitching from the sudden lightning bolt which caught him off guard.

“Where did the lightning bolt come from?” Nightin asks around only to realize that none of them were surprised to see their comrade getting struck by lightning. Pointing towards one of the soldiers who was looking in concern and about to request for permission to provide assistance, he says him “Tell me what’s going on.”

“All of us here have sworn an oath to not divulge any details to you. Please pardon us, but we truly are unable to let you in on any of the information you’re seeking. As for what we know as the punishment, you’ve seen it for yourself. Though it won’t cause any permanent damage, just the few minutes of living hell it brings is more than enough to prevent us from leaking any information.”

“General Night, if there’s nothing else, please allow me to make my way to help him before he loses himself in the nightmares they bring about.” The soldier says respectfully as he made his way towards his friend laying on the ground, the body of his friend twitching from the voltage.

“What are you trying to do?”

“The controller gave each of us an elixir which will only work if it wasn’t intentional to divulge the hidden truth.” The soldier answers truthfully as he popped the elixir into his friend mouth.

In just a split moment, colour returned to the face of that soldier as he picked himself back up weakly before falling back in.

Looking at all of them, Nightin got the commanders to stand in front of their platoon and team of strategists to branch out and form a circle behind him.

“System scanner!”

[47 strategists, 1 great strategist]

[Average cultivation realm: Martial King middle stage]

[Highest cultivation realm: Martial Emperor fourth gate (transcendent thus far)]

“System, I would like to have more information on the great strategist, as much as possible”

[Unique trait: Able to devise strategies which are at least ten times more useful than all the other strategists]

[Someone whose strength lies in combatting through his strategies making use of his laws of the natural universe and the natural elements such as fire, wind, water, earth, thunder, light, darkness and his unique origin]

[Unable to extract more data]

Marking the great strategist as someone he should pay attention to, he turns his attention towards the soldiers.

[2952 soldiers, 8 commanders, one sub general]

[Soldiers average cultivation realm: Martial King late stage (comparable to the Martial Emperors with their formation)]

[Commanders average cultivation realm: Martial Emperor second gate (transcendent) (comparable to someone who has awaken the third transcendent gate)]

[Sub general cultivation realm: Martial Emperor seventh gate (transcendent+) (unmatched below the Martial Saint realm)]

“Commanders, please stand in front of the respective armies you are leading, the sub general is to stay at the front to lead all of you! The great strategist will also be joining you guys in the upcoming battle, alongside the sub general!” When Nightin issued his order, the soldiers did so without any hesitation.

[Sudden quest: Defeat the Trinity Predators (C)

Conquer the Trinity Predators without any casualties. (B)

Force the Trinity Predators to surrender without a war (A)

Trinity Predators joins your army (S)]

“Emergency note: All soldiers are currently at the peak of their growth, the cleaner the battle is won, the higher their chances of becoming Overlords in the future!”

Looking at his army, he issued the soldiers to continue on with their training while getting the strategists to gather around the round table at the meals area.

“My team of strategists, I would like to know more about the Trinity Predators and their current location, including the geographical status and other landscapes.”

“So that we can avoid getting ambushed or suffering from unexpected attacks such as landslides or surging water?” One of the younger strategist asks.

“Yes, we also need to devise a strategy based on their manpower and average cultivation realm. I’ll take care of the three Great Saints alongside General Ash who is leading another army into the battlefield.”

Stepping up to leave the room, he tells them “I’ll be back after a brief conversation with General Ash.”

Leaving the meals area, he was surprised to see Ash standing at one side watching his army train, his face cold and yet he just felt like a mortal standing there, oblivious to the word fear. All he knows is fearless, that’s how someone who’s taught by a master who once lived with the wolves behave.

“General Ash, please step out for a moment, there are some details which I’ll need to discuss with you.” Nightin calls out from behind as he walks up towards Ash.

“Drop the formalities. At least when there are no other soldiers around, I’m not someone who likes getting into unnecessary trouble.” Ash chuckled as he asks “do you know why I’m chosen?”

“You don’t seem to know what happened between me and General Lionel for them to choose me.” Nightin says before asking “What’s the reason for yours though?”

“I’m the first person in history ever since the Ancient Origin era to have awakened the Divine law of imagination.” Ash says confidently, his hair and face bracing the strong breeze.

“They chose me because I have the talent to not only create a new path of cultivation, but because it also meant a chance for every living being including mortals to cultivate.”

“So, what’s the plan for the upcoming war? What information have you managed to gather from that newly appointed army of yours?”</b<a<s]>
