"Army Commander Laurifer, while we are under your command by Imperial Decree, even the Emperor shows deference and respect toward us. Your actions are an invasion of privacy and one that we could not tolerate without a reason."
After speaking those words, General Amalia took a step back, standing with the rest of the Titans. While the others did not say a word, the expression on their faces made it clear they shared the woman's feelings.
Cain could feel the imnse pressure of being under the sharp and intense gazes of those people who were ready to resist him, but even then he did not yield or falter.
"Your words are right. My actions are an invasion of your privacy that would normally not be needed or even tolerated. Yet, for this mission, it is required."
Cain made a small pause at this point as he focused on the soldiers and his eyes began to burn with a monstrous red light full of willpower.
"The reason for this military force is the complete destruction of all Tier 0 Dark Factions in the Hyperion Continent, along with the decimation and dismantlent of the rest of the Dark Factions. Our tifra is a single year."
When the Titans heard those words, a sense of shock and disbelief appeared in their eyes. The mission Cain had just described was sothing everybody in the Imperial Army would want to see, but they accepted it as an impossible task.
Cain could see that many of the soldiers were looking at him as if he was a madman. They did not believe he could succeed and that all this would be one great waste of ti. Yet, all that was fine by him.
"I know many of you might think I am delusional, and that my youth and inexperience are making aim for an impossible goal. I don't need you to believe my words, only to obey my commands and see the results."
The ten Titans focused on Cain as he spoke those words and, while they were still shocked, they all silently nodded. Even if they did not believe the young man's goal could be achieved, they were given a task and would fulfill it.
As for the interference with their computer rings. Although Cain did not give a specific reason, the motive was clear to all. Since they would be going after the Dark Factions, there was a chance of spies and blackmail coming from the underworld, so Cain would handle it by monitoring every single soldier for the next year.
Cain even did it before they could realize their mission, so if there was any spy among the ranks, they would not be able to communicate the information to the Dark Faction. Or at least that was the idea.
It might sound like a good plan on paper, but there was no mind capable of processing all that information in real-ti, making it ineffective and easy to find a flaw. At least that would be the case if the one processing the information was a humanoid mind.
In the end, while the soldiers were not too happy about the interference with their computer rings, they understood the reason and since the Titans accepted it, there was nothing the lower-ranking soldiers could say about it.
Seeing that the matter with the computer ring was handled, Cain waved his hand, and the next second a sphere with a multicolored fla appeared in his hand.
The fla imdiately drew the attention of the soldiers as its 19 revolving colors were truly wonderful and they could feel a unique energy coming from it.
Cain allowed the soldiers to gaze at the fla and its majesty. Thanks to the upgrade in his Ego Wave and Essence Evolution Path of Power, he could already generate 19 Revolution Flas.
Once everybody was able to gaze at the fla, Cain turned toward Duke Gigant with a solemn expression.
"General Gigant, do you trust ?"
Duke Gigant was surprised by that question. He stared at Cain's eyes for a mont before adopting a serious expression.
"I trust you are an honorable man."
Cain nodded to the man and then, under everybody's gaze, the sphere with the 19 Revolution Fla flew until it was right above Duke Gigant, just as a red force field ford a transparent cocoon around the man.
'Revolve the world energy that will soon flood every corner of your body with all your strength. Success and you will see your talent rise and foundation improve.'
Duke Gigant's eyes narrowed as he heard Cain's voice in his mind. He had no idea what the young man was trying to do, but upon seeing those red eyes full of resolve and confidence, he nodded and adopted a ditative position inside the red cocoon.
A smile appeared on Cain's face as he saw Duke Gigant's trust and his Ego Wave exploded as he unleashed the 19 Revolution Fla.
The other nine Titans and the million soldiers saw how the multicolored flas covered Duke Gigant, and just as they wondered what its purpose was, they felt the sky and earth tremble.
The next second a gargantuan amount of world energy flooded into the red cocoon, and everybody saw how it invaded Duke Gigant's body, reaching deep inside him.
Duke Gigant could not help but frown as he felt the imnse amount of energy flooding him and how it seed he would explode. However, he did not lose focus and his Ego Wave burst as he began to mobilize it.
Cain's focus reached its peak as he guided the 19 Revolution Refinent, and thanks to the help of the Titan's Ego Wave lessening the burden, there was no danger in the process and it was only a matter of ti before success arrived.
Minutes turned into hours but no one said a word as the process of Tribulation Enhancent was simply too enticing. Finally, after nearly three hours, the world energy began to fade and the red cocoon faded.
Everybody stared at Duke Gigant in silence. They did not feel a change in the man, and he remained in a ditative stance with his eyes closed, yet sothing must have happened as all saw that imnse amount of world energy flooding into his body.
