Free Web NovelChapter 291: Additional Force
Adam Xim was the top strategist and the fifth in the ranks of the officials in the circle of the Xiao Dynasty. He, who had a scholarly appearance, was also one of the most famous in his generation. It was as if his presence always brought some spice that could make women turn their heads towards him.
From a very young age, he had been active in the Xiao family. He was a son of the previous squad commander who pledged loyalty to the Xiao family. As a result of his father’s persistence in exposing him to battles, he naturally learned about strategic battles.
Adam Xim, among other unique cultivators, was a unique cultivator as well. However, he had more profundity in the traditional way of cultivation, but it didn’t waste his talent as he used his unique cultivation as his backup plan. He used swords and spears in battles.
He walked gracefully then stopped behind Yuna’s back, who was currently calling each of the officials that Lucas requested to be brought to the Northern Continent.
The second person called was Bucaro Den. He had a simple and average face, black hair and black eyes, slightly tanned skin, and medium height. However, he was also part of the circle, in which he was 19th.
He walked silently, then showed his respect without making any sound. In a nutshell, he was a silent person, whom one wouldn’t be able to assume or predict his next move. And he was a unique cultivator who used strings created from the tips of his fingers. Even though it seemed weird, it wasn’t surprising to others since he gained this ability when he went through a body transformation that enhanced his constitutional body.
The next person was one of the secret squad commanders. Even though Lucas said that there would be no one coming from his familiars, he just couldn’t waste the ability that Michael was able to discover.
Michael was the familiar ghost of Lucas who kept on following him in Encanta to seek his real death. However, after arriving here in the Four Heavens, in which he had more opportunities to seek what he could do, he stopped and only pledged his loyalty to Lucas.
Michael wasn’t a physically present creature. Although he could be one in the past, he didn’t have enough energy to create a materialized body. However, after discovering cultivation, which he had a talent for even though he didn’t have a dantian, he was able to create his own body.
Now, Michael had the ability to collect spiritual energy. In simple terms, he could manipulate them without properly cultivating it. He could also collect essence that had no strong conditions to control, which he could convert back into spiritual energy.
He then arrived from the sky, with a smile on his youthful face.
"Master! Master! Thank you very much for believing in me! I didn’t know that you would really acknowledge me!" A child-like tone came from him as soon as he descended.
Lucas shook his head as he scoffed. "You helped me when my body was still controlled by God of Magic. It was just time for you to widen your horizons with me. Since your other brothers and sisters have already experienced being under my order, now is your time since you’ve been asking for it as well."
Michael sweetly smiled again as he went to the line behind Yuna.
"Now, let us just wait for another person. I told him not to take too long since this would be his last duty of instructing the newbie soldiers." Yuna hissed.
"You asked him? Really? Are you also profound with Mind Communication, Yuna?"
"Hehe... Of course, you didn’t know it, but I had already breakthrough at the mid-level of the King Spirit Realm."
"That is good news!"
The next person then arrived. He walked with confidence as his silky robe flashed the light coming from the sun. He then showed a bright smile as soon as he arrived.
"Nothing changed, Thomas."
"Of course, Senior Master Lucas. Nothing will change. I am still near to breakthrough to the 2nd level of the General Spirit Realm. Although I am not strong enough compared to the rest that was here, my knowledge in leadership could be used as well."
"Don’t mind it. You have such great potential. You will discover it once I pay attention to your cultivation technique."
After Thomas heard what Lucas just said, he rushed like an excited kid to Lucas with flickering eyes. His hands were intertwined, then he looked up at him.
"Really, Senior Master? You will do that for me? I am jealous of others since they were able to breakthrough fast, but I remained the same since before."
Lucas just snickered and tapped his shoulders. "You can trust me. I will surely teach you the cultivation technique that you can use," he said. Then came after his soliloquy. ’After acquiring the Thousand Meridian Physique, I can confidently check people’s compatibility with a cultivation technique.
"Thank you very much!"
"Oh! Here’s the last one in the group." Lia was suddenly cut off when another person arrived.
In this additional force, she was the one who stood out because she was the only lady among them.
Liamlyn Ban, an archer. She was also part of the officials and the 20th in rank. With her cultivation at the peak of the Master Spirit Realm, she still didn’t show any mistakes that could point out that she was lacking.
Although Liamlyn Ban became a member of the circle because she was a sect leader, she proved herself in the field after fighting with rebels that had appeared in the past. It became her stage that took Yuna’s eyes and eventually brought her to the circle.
She still didn’t go through a body transformation to have a younger appearance and a younger presence. However, her features as a lady were still noticeable, even though some wrinkles had appeared on her face.
"I greet her highness."
Lia clasped her hands and then said, "Then, that tackles the additional force to protect the captured land in the Northern Continent."
"What? Wait... Lady Lia, did you just say that Senior Master has already captured some pieces of land in the Northern Continent?"
As soon as Thomas asked it, Lia’s face turned to Lucas, who was hiding it in surprise.
"You didn’t tell them?"
"Well... I was thinking of making it a surprise, and look, it was a success."
Lia and Yuna then looked at the five officials and shook their heads as they seemed to have dropped their jaws. They showed that they were really in disbelief of the feat that Lucas achieved.
"I am surprised to hear that, and also happy. We have already made a huge step in our invasion of the Northern Continent." Adam said, with his eyes still wide. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Of course, who are we talking about, it is Master!" Michael added.
Others seemed to want to add something, but they looked embarrassed to show their personality to Lucas.
"Okay, enough with that. I will explain things to you, so listen carefully."
Lucas then went on to explain what happened in the Northern Continent and his intention to visit the Southern Continent. He explained each duty he had prepared for them and also gave some thoughts on the people on the piece of land he had captured.
Moreover, Lucas gave them unique items that could help them with their responsibilities on the Northern Continent.
"That would be all. Although I will go straight to the Southern Continent, I will still introduce you to your comrades so that you will have a flexible change of environment in the Northern Continent. Furthermore, there’s nothing much to do. I will be away for a month or more, and you can contact me through a talisman that has the array formation to send me a message whatever you write at the back of it. So... I hope you understand." Lucas ended his explanation.
The other five nodded and chanted in unison, "Yes, understood!"
It gave Lucas a chance to sigh, and then after it, he gave them some time to prepare for the mission, but it didn’t exceed an hour.

"Brother Lucas, please wait a moment," Yuna called Lucas as he was about to enter the portal after the additional force. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He raised his eyebrow in curiosity, then face her. "What is it?"
"Can you make sure that you will return safe and a victor?"
Lucas paused then simply stared at her. ’What does she mean?’
"I don’t understand." Lucas bluntly said.
Lia, on the other hand, could just shake her head as she watched how hesitant Yuna was. She knew it was just an act of a first-timer, but she couldn’t stand watching it. She left without saying any words, which Lucas didn’t bother to ask since Yuna was still about to say something.
Then, as Yuna realized that she had become too bashful, she decided to do what she had in mind. She reached for Lucas’s lips with hers, then touched them both together. Lucas was surprised by it, but after a second, his eyes returned to normal.
’I understand...’ he thought.
Yuna then disconnected their lips and said, "I will pursue you. After you return, please be my husband."
Yuna’s face turned red. She could only close her eyes from embarrassment as Lucas was just staring at her without making any sound. And as she couldn’t handle it anymore, she pushed him inside the portal. For a second, it disappeared, but the longing for Lucas’s presence continued once more.
"At least I already showed him what I felt."
