Chapter 126: 126: Observations

Despite being almost completely sure that the final battle would be an easy victory for the Earth Country, Lex still rushed back as to reduce casualties and in case of any complications or contingencies he hadn't thought of, coming up.

Within minutes he had launched himself into the air, jumping over the outer wall of the Earth Country as he charged straight down at the Voltacs with a spear in his hands.

"Die" he roared as he landed on top of a Voltac, crushing him, and slashed apart 3 Voltacs in a single slash of his spear.

"Kill every last one of them" bellowed Lex to the soldiers who cheered for the White Flash, boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Lex after acting as a leader within the battle against the invading Voltiac Guild, had begun to understand the importance of morale in groups and war, as he was beginning to understand the importance of leadership in group battles.

Good morale is essential because it not only improves unit cohesion but can also grant a unit greater power with the boost of emotions and drive, which could tip the scales in battle.

In the same way, without good morale, a force would be more likely to give up or surrender and would be crushed by the enemy.

With the White Flash joining the battle it became completely one-sided as the Earth Country's army wiped out the final batch of Voltacs.

"We did it, Victory is ours" cheered the soldiers, seeing the final Voltac being slain by the surrounding soldiers.

Cheers of the soldiers and the citizens reosunded throughout the country as the White Flash's name continued to echo.

The surviving Earth Country citizens after cheering for hours, only then began to realise how scarred the country was an how deep the loses were.

As the realisation sunk in, most had lost loved ones and their residences, making them unsure of whether the country could even recover as it was mostly destroyed after the month of continuous battling.

Meanwhile, all the surviving upper echelon had converged in the centre of the country along with the Earth Leader, Lex, Ella and Angela.

The 14 people sat within the hall of the Earth Leader's mansions and all had sunken and drained expressions that were filled with sadness and despair, apart from Lex, Ella and Angela.

Ella and Lex were hooded, but under their hoods had seemingly unaffected calm expression while Angela kept the same cold and distant expression and was also staying calm with the cold nature that was embedded into her by her cultivation methods.

"What do we do now" asked the Earth Leader who had fallen into despair and had no idea what to do moving forwards.

His beloved country had been destroyed with most of the population being gruesomely killed and it seemed as though there was no purpose in life for him anymore.

Lex looking deep into his eyes saw how he deep the sadness he felt was and assumed his daughter must have been killed in the senseless slaughter of the Voltiac Guild.

"We have to recover the country" commented somebody.

"Yes, we need to provide food, shelter and hope for the rest of the surviving citizens" agreed another.

As the discussions began, they were continuously realising how much the country needed and the Earth Leader was beginning to feel the pressure and felt almost completely helpless in the situation that the Voltiac Guild had left them in.

As Lex heard their back and forth planning and them continuously bringing up more issues that needed to be solved, was beginning to rage more and more as the helplessness of merely being a sitting duck was beginning to get to him.

[I have had enough of avoiding that bastard and now that the country is in a relatively safe state, I can finally get my revenge for my master, the orphanage and all the deaths that the Voltiac Guild had caused] decided Lex.

"I will be leaving the country and heading to look for Elder Mason, you guys should try and get in touch with any other countries that may have survived the invasion of the Voltiac Guild and ally with them to try and fend off any more attacks from the Voltiac Guild. The guild has bases outside of countries and isn't as simple as they seem so you shouldn't become complacent" stated Lex calmly as he stood up and turned to leave.

All of those within the room were shocked by his sudden announcement of him leaving, as they watched him leave followed by Ella and Angela.

All of those left in the room wanted to be angry at Lex and his companions for leaving during the situation that they were in, but knew in the current state they were in, they had no chance against them in battle.

Lex and his companions didn't owe the country anything and merely did them a favour and if it weren't for them there may not have been any survivors, and made it so that Lex left without any guilt in the slightest as they left them trying to figure out a way to salvage the country.

"I will avenge the fallen" declared Lex as he left, with the rest of those from the Earth Country placing their hopes on him as their avenger.

"Lex is it really alright to leave them in this state," asked Angela who despite her cold nature, still had kindness within her.

"Angela, you can't bear the weight of everybody in the world's problems as it will only weigh you down and you won't be able to accomplish anything" explained to her Lex.

"By us even helping them, we have done them a big favour and there is not much more we can do in this situation and we should let the country's rulers deal with the affairs of the country's survival and development" continued Lex.

Hearing his words she knew he was correct and gave him a small nod, but she still felt slightly guilty about how they left the country as they ran past people who were beginning to worry and fall into despair.

After explaining his reasoning to Angela, he jumped onto a roof of a building and began to head towards the edge of the country at a speed he knew Angela and Ella, who were reinforcing their bodies with their Internal Cultivation, could keep up with.

"Is there really no way you can help" asked Angela childishly while they travelled.

While around Lex, Angela's coldness was very weak and her Saint Healing spiritual root was more in effect with her warm feelings towards Lex.

Which allowed her immaturity and naivety, that was hidden by her cold nature, to seep through.

Lex merely chuckled softly as he looked towards Angela who was older than him by a few months, but became like a child before him who was comparingly wise and experienced.

'Compose yourself child' screamed the Jade Empress within her mind as Angela jumped slightly from the sudden scream.

Lex who was watching her noticed it and from within her eyes could tell that she was trying to change how she was appearing to him.

Looking deep into her eyes, he could see that there was something she was hiding from him and from her sudden change in attitude, it reminded Lex of something.

[It is almost as though she has a voice within her head like the system. The only thing I can think it could be is the Jade Empress's soul] speculated Lex as he took of Kano and returned it into the inventory, revealing his calm expression.

Suddenly halting their travel, Lex stood on top of the building they were passing and turned to Angela who was close behind him.

"You have the Jade Empress talking to you within your mind, don't you" stated Lex directly, with his black eyes staring deep into her soul.

Angela suddenly became flustered by Lex's sudden statement, that was true and gave up on the information she was trying to keep secret because of the Jade Empress's orders.

"Yes," she admitted helplessly, feeling as though everything she was trying to hide was revealed under Lex's gaze.

"That's good for you, no wonder you could grow so quickly," Lex remarked nonchalantly, not caring about the details of the Jade Empress's soul somehow still residing within Angela.

Seeing his uncaring expression, Angela calmed down and couldn't help but wonder how profound Lex was, if that didn't faze him.

All meanwhile Ella followed beside them observing both of them closely and after noticing how unique both of them were, couldn't help but be amused.

In her eyes, what they had accomplished was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but what intrigued her was the fact that Lex's strong fate rubbed off on those that are close to him and around him.

Which she noticed from Angela who also had quite a strong fate around her, although compared to Lex's was still weak.

"Now we will leave to look for Mason"
