"Rember, we must present a solid front. If we allow that brat to carry on unchecked, we will lose our chance to shine. We must convince the rest of the Vice-Captains to side with us."
The other four Vice-Captains nodded as they heard Uriel's words. Making an enemy of such a talented man like Cain was not sothing they wanted, but siding with Uriel had proven beneficial for all of them again and again, so they would follow him.
Uriel understood that his bond with the other four was not so strong that they would give their life for him, but he knew how to manipulate their greed.
As Uriel approached the soldier encampnt's center of command, a solemn expression appeared on his face. Even if he hated Cain, there was no way to deny the might of the red force field this one was unleashing.
Uriel did his best to hide it, but his eyes showed envy. He knew about the Ego Eternal Path of Power and that Cain was a divine genius for reaching the First Realm at such a young age.
Of course, Uriel was sure that if he had been born with an awakened Ego Matrix, his achievents in the Ego Eternal Path of Power would have been even more outstanding than Cain's.
"Despite his talent in the Ego Eternal Path of Power, he is still a brat. Using his Ego Wave as this must push his mind to the limit. I am sure he can not focus on anything else now, so we must take advantage of it."
Uriel was full of confidence, but the mont he entered the center of command, a sense of shock appeared on his face.
Cain stood at the center of the room in front of a holographic platform that depicted the entire Blade Mountain. He flawlessly explained the troops' movents through the thousands of kiloters of forest and the hundreds of mountain ranges.
"You are late," Cain spoke as he stared at the five with eyes glowing with red light before focusing again on the holographic platform.
He was not putting up a strong front or overexerting himself. If his willpower were still at the Peak Wave Champion Rank, it would have been hard for him to use Ego Wave and focus on other tasks, but things are different now.
The willpower of a Wave King was exponentially stronger than a Wave Champion!
It not only allowed Cain's mastery over Free Ego to be much greater, but his ntal powers were so great that he could carry on two completely separate trains of thought. For example, right now, part of his mind was focused on his Ego Wave, monitoring the entire encampnt, while the other part explained the battle formation to the rest of the Vice-Captains.
The four Vice-Captains beside Uriel frowned as they saw that. Clearly, Cain had more than enough ntal power to keep his Ego Wave across the encampnt and develop fantastic battle strategies.
Uriel could feel their gazes but was just as confused as them. According to his understanding of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, it should take all of Cain's focus to perform this level of Free Ego.
power.
"As you can see, an extensive mountain range divides the first section of the forest into two large The group was the last to arrive since the other forty-five Vice-Captains were already there, so even if they were enraged by Cain's words, there was nothing they could say. They remained silent as they approached the holographic platform, focusing on Cain's words, looking for a flaw they could exploit.
Uriel clenched his fists as he heard Cain's strategies since they were better than what he could develop. They took full advantage of the terrain, enhancing the army's defensive and offensive power.
"As you can see, an extensive mountain range divides the first section of the forest into two large areas, so we will not have to worry about those coming from the Wave Universities.
My battle formations are sowhat crude right now as I am unaware of the battle power and specialties of the other battalions, so I am open to any input. I will do my best to improve them with each battle.
I suggest we use my battle formation and thoroughly analyze them after the first encounter with Wave Champion Beasts.
Also, I will generate a chat room where every battalion can share their status, and I will adjust the battle formation mid-battle."
When the other Vice-Captain heard the last part, they all showed shock and awe in their eyes. Cain's battle formations were already better than anything they could co up with, but the fact that he declared he would adjust them mid-battle was incredible.
"Are you sure you can bear that responsibility?"
A young man with golden hair and blue eyes spoke solemnly. When the other Vice-Captains turned toward him, they all showed respect.
Cain recognized the man as Antony Farlight. He was just a year older than Cain but was already a Level 9 Essence Wave Warrior, and his aura's might made it clear he was far from average.
There was no ill will in Antony's voice, and he was sincerely impressed by Cain's strategies, but while adjusting the formation mid-battle would be of great help, it could easily lead to catastrophe.
Cain stared at Antony, his eyes bursting with red light.
"I would not have proposed it if I was not sure I could do it."
Antony stared at Cain for a mont before nodding and turning toward another person in the room.
"I am fine with it. What about you, William?"
The one Antony called William was a young man of his sa age, with black hair and brown eyes, whose body unleashed a shocking physical might.
William stared at Cain for a mont before nodding.
After seeing that Antony and William accepted, all the other Vice-Captains nodded.
The last ones to respond to Cain's strategies and plans were Uriel and the other four Vice-Captains by his side. The animosity between Uriel and Cain was no secret, so even if this one rejected the plans, the other Vice-Captains had already spoken.
Uriel was smart enough to know when not to fight, so he just nodded, along with the other four.
Like that, the battle formation and plans for the first march were complete, and the entire military force was ready to march with the first ray of sunlight.
