Chapter 2108: Legion Captains

Chapter 2107: Legion Captains

Of course, the three remaining Great Righteous Sects might survive the Reaper Soul Legion’s onslaught due to their formations, but that’s all. It was unlikely they could come out unscathed in an invasion of slippery yet powerful Soul Emperors and Soul Empresses. In any case, it was obvious in how they maintained supremacy with just their undulations alone, so there was no need to strut around their might.

As for the Soul Palace, its denizens looked dumbfounded; their eyes had seen its immense rise and fall. After all, Davis appeared like he was going to take away all fifty-six of their Soul Emperors and Soul Empresses who had just revealed themselves, making some even cry. However, they were helpless to voice out their dissatisfaction, which made them feel extremely helpless.

At this rate, they were going to lose their Territory and, worse, even their power.

“There’s no need to worry, members of my Soul Palace. As I am still the Palace Master, I won’t let it be invaded or become extinct until I leave for the immortal world. I’ll later choose a few representatives to handle the affairs of the Soul Palace and allow them to reach the peak of Emperor Soul Stage.”

“…!?”

The Soul Palace’s cultivators became dumbfounded on hearing Davis’s voice, but their expressions quickly churned bright when they raised their heads and saw him address them.

“Palace Master is wise!”

“Long live Palace Master!”

“Long live Palace Master!!”

“Long live Palace Master!!!”

They began to chant, invoking their very spirits to cheer for their Palace Master. Hearing his promise, the top disciples and even some elders began to shed tears of joy. Joining the Reaper Soul Legion was a missed opportunity, but now, they still had some hope to become a Soul Emperor or a Soul Empress, a Peak-Level one at that!

This proposition was extremely attractive to them because power was everything, and with them remaining here to handle the affairs of the Soul Palace, they didn’t feel like they were going to be used as cannon fodder either. Although the Reaper Soul Legion became immensely powerful, no one can say what kind of tragic fate they would meet in the immortal world.

After all, they were treading into unknown lands. Anything can happen. However, being the overlords in the Fifty-Two Territories, the Soul Palace’s safety was guaranteed. Unlike the whole world, they only had to face the Calamity Light. With the Emperor of Death also voicing out his words, it was unlikely the Soul Palace would be destroyed, and that’s why this opportunity was all the more precious to them.

Their hegemonic lifestyle was practically assured.

This kind of thought process was true for the elders, but the young ones still held hope to see the Reaper Soul Legion recruit again.

Nonetheless, they dispersed quickly as the Emperor of Death and the Reaper Soul Legion entered the towering palace. There was nothing to do anymore other than to be prepared for the selection while the outsiders were full of doubt and dread, thinking that the Reaper Soul Legion might make a move in the future to subjugate and unify the human race under one banner.

Although it was a good matter for the race, was it a good matter for them who would lose autonomy and authority over their Territories?

Inside the palace, Davis looked at his Reaper Soul Legion with a satisfied expression on his face. He sat on his throne at the center of the raised altar, and beside him were Yotan and Threelotus, who sat to his right and left, respectively. In front of them were three tables with many alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments as well as rich meat.

The platform below also hosted the entire Reaper Soul Legion, who looked ready to devour the sumptuous feast.

Obviously, they were partaking in a banquet at the moment, while on the other hand, Davis doesn’t need to do such things because he was an avatar. However, he still drank refreshments for the soul, which tasted delicious. These non-alcoholic concoctions were plenty in the Soul Palace as they were used to relieve exhaustion a bit and boost soul force recovery rate, but it wouldn’t work for someone at his level.

“Now then,” Davis placed the cup on the wooden table before he looked at his people, who became attentive.

“There isn’t much to do in these lands other than patrolling and defending until the Calamity Light descends. Legion Captain Praezen, do you have any ideas to offer?”

Legion Captain Praezen stood up, cupping his hands in respect before rubbing his beard.

“Forgive me, Legion Master. I thought about it a lot and still can’t understand your true intent. I can only guess from your words that you truly intend not to commit yourself to the domination of the righteous path. In that case, we, the First Division, should patrol and defend the Poison Lord Villa and Flowing Mist Sect Territories. Rumor has it that these lands have become a hotspot for the gathering of many wicked path powers already, so I would first like to start by clearing the vermin.”

Legion Captain Praezen’s brown eyes shone with a golden glint.

“Right. I haven’t been paying attention to those lands.”

Davis possessed a laidback attitude, agreeing with his old individual who had the potential to be the Reaper Soul Legion’s Tactician.

“As for the Second Division, Legion Captain Lightsky and his soul warriors should take care of the Legion Master’s Territories near the Alstreim Family Territory like the Tripartite Alliance Territory, Falling Snow Sect Territory, and the Towering Cloud Hall Territory.”

“Likewise, the Third Division’s Legion Captain Starlily should stay here and protect the Soul Palace and the Burning Phoenix Ridge Territories.”

Legion Captain Praezen finished his idea, causing Davis to perfunctorily nod. However, two people were frowning, and they were none other than Legion Captain Lightsky and Legion Captain Starlily. They both had their eyes narrowed, but one didn’t say anything while the other stood up and turned to look at Legion Captain Praezen.

“With all due respect, I reject being assigned to this place, First Division’s Legion Captain. No one would dare attack the Burning Phoenix Ridge, for its Sect Master is plenty strong, not to mention she’s the fiancee of our Legion Master, and if no one’s going to make trouble with the Burning Phoenix Ridge, then no one’s going to be stupid enough to pick a fight with the Soul Palace.”

“You’re right.” Legion Captain Praezen didn’t retort.

“Starlily. You sound like you want my Burning Phoenix Ridge and Soul Palace to be attacked?”

“…!?”

Davis’s cold voice suddenly resounded out, causing Legion Captain Starlily’s pupils to dilate before she quickly went on her knees as she turned towards him.

“Legion Master, I didn’t mean it that way! I apologize if my words came across as such, for I only want to gain more achievements and obtain rewards from Legion Master’s hands.”

Her voice shuddered, causing Davis’s sadistic tendencies to tease relieved before he nonchalantly opened his mouth.

“Oh, I see.” He turned to look towards Yotan, “What does Legion Commander think about Praezen’s assignment?”

“Not bad.” Yotan’s melodious voice echoed, “But, I want to train the soul warriors as well. Just defending won’t cut it for the difficulties we must face in the future. Personally, I don’t want anyone in our legion to die even though it’s impossible, but to that end, we must become the reapers themselves, being the ones to take the lives of others.”

“…!”

A sharp yet vindictive light shone in Yotan’s eyes, causing the captains’ and the soul warriors’ hearts to tremble, their emotions resonating with her words.

‘There she is… a natural-born leader…’

Davis couldn’t help but inwardly smile, understanding that Soul Emperor Elusivemist had manipulated her and restricted her freedom, making her believe that she was not much. He gave her power, and her true worth naturally shone like a jewel.

Legion Captain Praezen rubbed his beard before he smiled.

“If Legion Commander and Legion Master want to train our soul warriors and even dominate the lands, then how about conquering the Twilight Shade Valley Territory to the northwest that’s fought between the four powers: Blood Pledge Villa, Dark Moon Crow Empire, Three-Eyed White-Serpent Palace, and the White-Winged Tiger Empire. It is still undecided who is going to have unrestricted access to it, so we might as well interfere and take it all for ourselves.”

“…!”

Everyone’s eyes became wide, their rapidly beating hearts waiting for the Legion Master’s answer.

Davis also blinked at Legion Captain Praezen’s words, half-impressed and half-convinced that he could become their tactician since Legion Captain Praezen understood his thoughts. With a growing smile on his face, he turned to look at the other two.

“Starlily and Lightsky, I have missions for you two.”

“Command me anything, Legion Master!”

“I await your command, Legion Master!”

Second Division’s Legion Captain and Third Division’s Legion Captain went on their knees, causing Davis to open his mouth.
