Cassian walked with his hands resting behind his back while Elara and Zeke fell into line with the other soldiers. Rasmus did not join the formation since he was not part of Weltaria's military. He stood at the very back, alone, in a rigid posture.

The soldiers, who had initially been standing in disarray, automatically corrected their formation. Cassian gazed at any soldiers who had been out of line for a long time, urging them to follow the rules. Though they did not want to obey, their muscle memory forced them to comply with their commander's commanding gaze.

"A fine day, isn't it, comrades?" Cassian greeted, lifting his head to look at the clear sky. "This weather is perfect for the Narman Empire to strike. They would suffer great losses if they attacked during winter and rain."

He looked back at the soldiers, still wearing his usual calm smile. "I heard that you've become weak lately. Why don't you head to the border and hold off the enemy forces?"

The silence was thick, and no

    Stefan's actions triggered several other soldiers to do the same—remove all the symbols that marked their positions in the military. While it looked like the same action, they had different reasons for doing so. Not everyone feared the Military Prison.People like Stefan simply wanted to fight because it was their duty to protect the country. Not many soldiers thought this way, as most of them chose to fight to avoid punishment.Cassian raised an eyebrow when he realized that some soldiers were still unwilling to surrender to him. It caught his attention because they were faces he did not recognize."I appreciate differing opinions. Therefore, I will not force anyone to go to the battlefield. Anyone who prefers punishment can line up over there," he instructed, pointing to the left.The soldiers who refused to fight quickly formed their line.

    Every cultivator has a core, but high-quality ones are difficult to obtain. Soul Essence cannot help either, as its energy bullets would destroy the target's core. The only way to get the core is to weaken the target and take it when they are on the brink of death.The soldiers would not have frustrated expressions if Cassian's only requirement were the core. They could easily take cores from weaker Narman soldiers, but they needed to defeat the stronger ones to obtain a high-quality core."Are there no other conditions? I don't mind working without pay," Norman sighed deeply, rubbing the Soul Essence in his hand. He had been eagerly waiting for such a powerful weapon, but he made the mistake of betraying Cassian, and he did not want the Commander to fire him because of that.Stefan hit Norman on the head with his military helmet. "Don't ask for too much. You should be grateful that the Commander is giving you this opportunity. We went down the wrong path by siding with Ronin, but he

    Cassian walked around the rows of soldiers, his footsteps echoing with each click of his boots, adding tension to the atmosphere as he spoke emotionally."I didn't abandon you like you did to me. You stayed silent when the bad rumors about me spread; some may have even believed them. Despite that, I accepted you back because I believe in your strength. No one in all of Weltaria can replace you. That's why I'm allowing you to fight alongside me again. You are irreplaceable!"Each word he spoke struck deep, touching the hearts of the soldiers. When the rumors about Cassian spread, they had not tried to refute them. Their disappointment led them to believe those rumors were true. Moreover, the silence from their Commander only strengthened their belief in the rumors.The soldiers felt relief and guilt after learning that Cassian had left the military due to Ronin and Arlo's schemes. They now understood the real reason for Cassian's departure. He had never intended to leave them, only tem

    As Bertolt had expected, the bullet could penetrate the shield since Argon was not using a material capable of withstanding the essence of a core crystal. Only Cassian knew how to create a counter for Soul Essence bullets since he was the one who successfully developed this new weapon."You're dead now, you jerks!" Francesca shouted, jumping out of her hiding spot due to her excitement."Hey, watch out!" Patel grabbed her and pulled her down just in time as a shot from the enemy missed, failing to hit her because she had already ducked."Sorry about that," Francesca apologized, smiling awkwardly at her teammates, who glared at her. She quickly returned to her position and aimed at the visible enemy. "Wow, look at their faces. They're so confused! Let's kill them and leave them wondering what destroyed their precious shield!"The snipers from Weltaria did not need Bertolt's orders to open fire because they knew exactly what to do. They were the best long-range marksmen, specially selec

    "We will continue advancing but still maintain the ambush strategy," Bertolt instructed as he led the sniper team to the next hiding spot at the foot of the mountain. "Emperor Arlo hasn't discovered Soul Essence, and that's our advantage. He will surely send more soldiers because the protective array formation here has been breached!"The snipers responded in unison, "Roger that, sir!"They shared the same mindset as Elara, sticking to the ambush tactic of hiding and attacking the enemy once they passed a certain point. If the Narman soldiers were crossing the river, the snipers from Weltaria would immediately attack.At the same time, combat medics from Weltaria were deployed to save the wounded soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

    For three long years, the battlefield echoed with shouts, cries, and clashing weapons. But now, after Weltaria's victory, a brief hush fell over the scene.The soldiers kept a firm grip on their weapons, wary that the enemies might feign surrender and launch another attack. Once they realized victory, they dropped their weapons and erupted into cheers.Compared to the ecstatic atmosphere on the battlefield, the Command and Control Center felt heavy ever since someone arrived."Our enemies agreed to a peace treaty with us, and their only demand was for Cassian to drink this bottle of medicine. If you want the war to end, just drink this. Don't you seek peace, Commander Cassian?"Cassian Valor, the supreme leader responsible for strategic decisions, sat calmly behind the desk.His physique was well-built, clad in shining armor, and adorned with royal symbols denoting his authority. With a sharp stare, he examined the mysterious bottle of medicine offered by Ronin, the President of Welta

    Three days later, the news of the peace agreement spread across the nation, capturing the attention of other countries. Walteria's war against Narman Empire attracted the attention of other countries due to its large scale.Many were skeptical that Walteria could maintain peace in the nation.The people of Walteria were pleased when they heard the war was over. They no longer had to worry about the Narman that often hurt innocent people.A group of construction workers were taking a break while talking about the news started by the foreman."The war is over! We beat the Narman!"The others responded enthusiastically."The Great Commander is really great! He can create peace that was thought to be impossible.""But isn't it strange that the Great Commander doesn't appear much in the news?""I think I'm the only one who noticed. The news only mentions him successfully handling the war, but there's no explanation of his next move."Everyone wondered where Cassian went after the war was o

    Cassian was surprised by Isabell's statement. Although he was able to predict the enemy's movements and devise a war strategy, he could not have predicted that Aveline would want a divorce. It was beyond his reach.He was disappointed that Aveline filed for divorce at their meeting after all this time. Apparently, she had a different idea about this meeting."Why are you doing nothing? Take these divorce papers and return them to me when you have signed them," Isabella growled in annoyance that Cassian was silent like a fool.Cassian snapped out of his reverie. Unable to see, his hand fumbled on the table for the divorce papers. But he accidentally nudged the coffee cup, spilling the contents onto the documents."I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose!"Isabella did not accept Cassian's apology and snapped at him, "You must have done it on purpose! Are you pretending to be blind to mess things up? I'm sure you expected Aveline to divorce you, so you planned this."Hearing the accusation

    All the soldiers at the General Headquarters were sitting quietly in the shared lounge when they received the news that the Narman forces had breached the northern border near the cities of Valen and Hawke. The military base in Weltaria had fallen, allowing the enemy to enter easily. Virgil had deployed the soldiers from the branch headquarters, but everyone knew that it would not hold for long."What are we going to do? If we keep staying still, the enemy will eventually attack us," Major Vienna said, hugging her trembling body.A lieutenant general named Agnes snorted. "You got promoted because of your connection to the President. No wonder you're scared. If it were me, I'd face the enemy with my strength," she responded sarcastically."How dare you insult me! You wouldn't dare say that in front of the President, would you? You coward!" Vienna retorted."That's true," Major General Sylvia responded, rolling her eyes. "But we're all tired of this new system.

    Ronin's departure left a sorrowful silence for a while. Those in the President's faction did not understand why they should feel sad when Ronin had betrayed them. They thought they would be indifferent after their former leader left, but instead, they felt an indescribable emotion.However, there was no time for mourning. Cassian clapped his hands a few times to regain everyone's attention."I do have a personal vendetta against Ronin, but he has also committed crimes that deserve punishment. This means I will drag everyone involved with him to trial," he declared.Everyone in the President's faction stood tense, unhappy with the topic but knowing it was coming. Cassian must be saying this because he had irrefutable evidence."But instead of conventional punishment, I want to give you a noble chance to redeem yourselves," Cassian said with a smile.Rather than feeling relieved, the President's supporters grew anxious because they knew Cassian would not let them off easily."I'd rather

    The hall was filled with murmurs of surprise from the participants about the Soul Essence. Since cultivators existed, all the military forces in the world had to develop weapons that could match their power. This was the beginning of the creation of energy weapons, as not everyone could cultivate.For instance, Weltaria had more soldiers who could not cultivate than those who could. To balance the gap, the country had no choice but to invest heavily in purchasing energy-based ammunition that could only be used on special weapons.The price was beyond question. It was undoubtedly expensive, and Weltaria lacked the funds to purchase enough energy weaponry. This is why Ronin called upon wealthy, influential families, including the Hawthornes, as he needed their help."Can your words be trusted? I've never heard of energy bullets that can destroy cores. If it only weakens them, that's still reasonable," Ronin voiced his skepticism, hoping that Cassian was exaggerating.Cassian placed his
