Chapter 369 Golden Crow Division
Chapter 369 Golden Crow Division
Some distance away from Albion's estate, a group of five soldiers clad in red and black armor made their way closer step by step.
At the same time, the leading Scarlet Nether Soldier held a map in front of him with the estate marked on it.
No doubt, these Scarlet Nether Soldiers were specifically looking for Albion.
"Do you think this is a good idea, Captain? According to the information, the newly promoted Tier-1 Baron living there is potentially a first-stage True Soul Immortal," a Scarlet Nether Soldier mentioned with growing concern the closer they got to their destination.
"That's precisely why we must conscript this person into the Scarlet Nether Army," the captain replied.
"True Soul Immortals are the main fighting force in this war. The more True Soul Immortals we have, the better chance we have at winning. Furthermore, cannon fodders like us will also have a higher chance of surviving."
"I know that but it wasn't what I meant, Captain," the Scarlet Nether Soldier argued, saying, "We are only Spirit Manifestation realm soldiers. Our words won't have much sway to a True Soul Immortal. That's why we should ask the commander to step in."
"The commander is busy talking to the Lord of Netherglow City. Besides, I, alone, am enough for this task," the captain said with some confidence.
"While I am not a True Soul Immortal, I am still a peak-stage Spirit Manifestation realm expert. True Soul Immortals would at least hear me out. Besides, have you forgotten? This time's conscription is different from the past."
"The Realm Lord personally order the Scarlet Nether Army to conscript everyone at the Spirit Manifestation realm and above for the Realm War. Not even Golden Soul Immortals can refuse the Realm Lord's orders, let alone a True Soul Immortal."
"That's why you worry too much, Xomath. Just let me do all the talking. Who knows? The True Soul Immortal might be very reasonable, and everything will proceed smoothly," the captain said optimistically.
"Haiz…" Xomath sighed and said, "Alright, Captain. If you say so."
The Scarlet Nether Soldiers eventually reached Albion's estate.
Since there was no gatekeeper or any security for that matter, the Scarlet Nether Soldiers opened the gate themselves and set foot on Albion's estate.
…
Knock, knock…
Before long, the front door was knocked on twice, catching Suzy's attention in a nearby room. Just as she went over to answer the door, she quickly discovered her new master was already there.
"You can go back and cultivate. I will handle this," Albion stated and signaled Suzy to leave with a wave of his hand.
He had been expecting the unwanted guests to arrive.
Nevertheless, Albion wasn't in a hurry to open the door and meet the Scarlet Nether Soldiers face to face.
Instead, he just stood by the door and asked, "What do you want?"
"We—"
The Scarlet Nether Captain was ready to state his obvious purpose in a confident manner when he suddenly sensed an overwhelmingly dreadful and powerful killing intent, which caused him to freeze.
His words were immediately stuck in his throat.
Gulp!
After the Scarlet Nether Captain swallowed his words, he changed his mind and replied timidly, "W-We just want to talk."
"I don't want to talk," Albion stated before asking a question with an obvious answer, "How many of you are there?"
"T-There's five of us, Your Excellency," the Scarlet Nether Captain answered honestly.
"Good. You can talk to each other."
"…"
After waiting for some time, the Scarlet Nether Soldiers didn't hear anything further from Albion, nor did they feel his presence behind the door.
As such, the Scarlet Nether Soldiers stood outside with dumbfounded looks and took a moment to process what the heck had just happened.
They had never encountered such a bizarre situation before, but the other party's intention was clear.
"I-I understand. Sorry to bother you, Your Excellency. Have a good day," the Scarlet Nether Captain apologized, not knowing whether the True Soul Immortal heard him, then pulled his men away from Albion's estate.
…
After the Scarlet Nether Captain ensured they were far away from the estate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His body couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the True Soul Immortal's killing intent.
He had never felt so close to death.
Meanwhile, the four Scarlet Nether Soldiers gave their captain odd, unimpressed, and disappointed looks.
"Didn't you say you could do it, Captain? What the hell was that?" asked Ruven, one of the other three Scarlet Nether Soldiers.
"Huh? Did I say I could do it? Hell to the no!" the Scarlet Nether Captain strongly denied before he spoke with lingering fear, "I've never met anyone with such a dreadful and powerful killing intent before."
"Not even the Golden Soul Immortals I've seen on the battlefield from a distance displayed anything close to that True Soul Immortal. Who knows how many lives that person had taken to acquire such a killing intent?"
"If we had tried to be forceful in our approach or even the least bit disrespectful, we could have gotten killed. That True Soul Immortal clearly has no scruples with killing," the Scarlet Nether Captain assumed.
"But then what should we do, Captain?" Xomath asked before stating, "We can't ignore this person. Considering the True Soul Immortal possess such a strong killing intent, he must be very powerful. He might even be a retired war hero."
"If we can conscript this person, our Golden Crow Division will have a slightly higher chance of outperforming the other divisions in the war," Xomath added.
And as the ones to conscript the powerful True Soul Immortal into their Golden Crow Division, their squad would be rewarded.
"Be that as it may, we don't have the ability to conscript this person," the Scarlet Nether Captain shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we'll get ourselves killed before we can even mention the Scarlet Nether Army."
"We can only notify the commander and hope he can deal with this True Soul Immortal personally," he added with a soft sigh.
In the end, they still had to rely on their commander for the job.
