"Thanks for the t.i.tle!" Matthias half kneels on the ground, colour returning to his face as something that resembles an amulet in the form of a cross appears in his hand.

"You"ve managed to awaken your soul weapon ?" Nightin asks when he saw that cross who merged into Matthias body.

"Yes, I call it the ray of hope. I don"t know of this is hidden in my innate talent or thanks to your words of wisdom, but I"ve awakened the rays law. A law uncla.s.sified, but rumored to be stronger than most divine laws as its peak."

Ta Ta

Hearing approaching footsteps, Nightin says "Come in."

"General Lionel, what"s the reason for your sudden visit? I believe that you had some emergency to attend to."

Hearing the question, Lionel didn"t answer. Combing his hair back, he says "The Voyager Emperor has requested an audience with you, with immediate effect."

"What is it about?" Nightin asks patiently, his maturity being reflected off his behavior. While most youths his age would at least show some form of agitation or excitement, it wasn"t even worth paying some attention to in his eyes.

"Can"t you just behave more like someone your age for once?" Lionel says helplessly as his gaze turns towards Matthias "Matthias, I understand that you have wishes to follow him."

"General Lionel, I..."

"It"s fine, you"ve made the right decision by following him. Staying in the army will only cause your talent to be buried up by the dust, just don"t forget that you"re still part of the Voyager Kingdom."

"Thank you General Lionel!" Matthias kneels down to him for the last time, adding on "Don"t worry, I won"t forget about the Voyager Kingdom or your kindness. I wouldn"t be who I am today if you had not bring me and my

... My brother into the army that day."

"Bring you and Hysan in? I don"t recall such a thing ever happening."

"We were the ones who entered through the living h.e.l.l trails and made it out, you were the one who suggested it and we are the two who pa.s.sed." Matthias reminded as realization struck Lionel.

"I see, so you"re that talented boy who was roped in to undergo private training. How has life been from there on?" Lionel asks back, a scroll appearing in his hand alongside with a card. Before Matthias could answer, he tells him "Pa.s.s this to the young n.o.ble, tell him that this card will be the entrance proof."

Vanis.h.i.+ng from their view, he left Matthias standing there with a card and scroll in hand. "Bring it over." Matthias did as told and walked up to pa.s.s the scroll and card over without hesitation, not forgetting to inform Nightin what the purpose of the card was.

Taking over the scroll in hand, he could tell that the scroll had just been written not long ago, the material used was enchanted dragon hide which is one of the rarest materials even in the Overlord realms. For the scroll to have been written on dragon hide was more than extravagant, yet the process of enchanting it actually requires more than ten Great Saints to spend at least tens of years together, making the scroll a protective treasure strong enough to deflect any attacks below the Overlord realm attack power.

Just who wrote this and what does he have for me? Nightin thinks to himself, not forgetting to instruct Matthias to leave the room and stand guard outside first. Sensing that Matthias began to cultivate once stepping out, he didn"t stop him and instead allowed him to do as he wants. What he wants is a soldier that serves him with the true intentions to do so.

Opening the scroll, the contents takes on life as they floated around him with an enchanting feeling, the characters were of a dazzling golden and were spinning around him, quick and graceful, but slow enough to be read.

"Young n.o.ble, I"m the Emperor of the Voyager Kingdom and I"m sure that you are curious about the reason why I called for you. It was the True General of my Voyager Kingdom who recommended you to me. The reason, he actually recommended you as a genius to me and knowing him too well just like the back of my palm, I tentatively appoint you as the trainer of all ten thousand soldiers. If you have any further details to discuss with me, just press on the red b.u.t.ton. If everything is fine and you have no further qualms or objections, the press on the blue b.u.t.ton."

As the voice fades, Nightin pushes the red b.u.t.ton and left behind a voice message "I"ll be heading over the the meeting chamber shown in the map carved on the token, see you there in ten minutes."

Beep!

"He replied instantly without any hesitation, Lionel, what else do you have to say?" The second General Silver question fiercely in the face of everyone present, confidence on his face. Even though Nightin may have been described to be someone with maturity beyond his age and respectable moral character, his current actions doesn"t seem to be in tune with what Lionel had told them.

"Are you jumping to conclusions as well? Just wait and you"ll see what I mean. Emperor, did you mention something in the messaging scroll for him to request an audience with you?" Lionel retorted back to keep his strong stand while asking the Emperor another question peacefully. This is what makes him a true man worthy of respect in the eyes of others, he never backs down and will always stand above his rivals and those trying to put him down.

"You know me too well Silver, there isn"t even a time where my actions can deceive you and your eyes." The Voyager Emperor says with appreciation in his eyes, breaking out into laughter which no one dares to interrupt.

"That"s right, I appointed him the trainer of ten thousand soldiers and he"ll be leading them to the battlefield, but these ten thousand soldiers excluding Matthias who has made up his mind to serve him, are just ordinary soldiers around the middle stage Martial King realm. His opponent this time will be from the Savage tribe which has mysteriously suffered defeat and losing strength in these twenty years, before they merged with the barbarians and hunters at least.

Now they call themselves the trinity predators and go around attacking any city they could find, plundering any village they could locate, that is the true essence of being cultivators of the wild and every time people hear their name, they fear them.

An army led by three Great Saints at the early stage were the dominant force excluding the first grade kingdoms and that was the reason to back up their arrogance and c.o.c.kiness, The first grade kingdoms had been wanting to take them out since a long time ago, but they were always lurking in the shadows, unable to be located, now that there was information on their location from their intelligence and that they were near the Voyager Kingdom at the moment, the Emperor had been intending to send some youths to conquer them. Now that there were two perfect candidates for the spot, he had to ensure that they were given the experience and chance to be on the battlefield and experience the true definition of war.

Outside the main gate, two youths could be seen staring at each other in curiosity. They were Ash and Nightin, each wearing a cloak of black and red respectively. Being someone who doesn"t like to initiate conversations, Nightin waited for Ash to speak up. "Hey, what"s your name? Did you request for an audience with the Emperor as well to discuss about the upcoming war?"

"Upcoming war? I"ve only heard about me being a.s.signed a trainer to lead ten thousand soldiers into the battlefield, name is Nightin by the way." After a short introduction, Ash explained "The name"s Ash. You may not know about this, but I was also a.s.signed around eight thousand soldiers and if the information I"ve managed to gather were sufficient and accurate, then we"re being sent on a mission to deal with some nearby tribes that gathered together, forming a force known as the Trinity Predators."
