26 Reinforcements

Inside the Easter Continent, a large group of people was arming themselves. They were the men cultivated by the Chen Clan. After usurping the Eastern Capital, they had begun preparing to attack multiple parts of the empire simultaneously.

The Golden Bullet company had made arrangements with them, they would provide the weapons and the transportation while the Chen's would provide the manpower. They would efficiently target various strategic points in the empire.

The Chen's, however, had a different agenda. They set their eyes for conquest, they didn't want to just weaken the empire. They planned to take it for themselves. Currently, ten large floating ships began to descend as the head towards a large open space.

"They're here!" An elderly who had a white beard exclaimed. He was one of the elders of the Chen clan. "Call the Clan head here!" He commanded as he looked at one skinny youth. The scrawny youth nodded as he began to run towards the direction of the clan head. He was running at speeds that seemed to be faster than what you'd expect from his appearance.

The elder then began to rub his white long beard. "Will this be the road to fortune or to destruction.....nobody knows." He had a longing look in his eyes. He was one of the people who had personally seen the rise of the clan. He had fulfilled the long wish of their ancestors who have sworn the rise of their once great clan.

"Elder Bai!" I have already called the Clan head. He said to make sure that all preparations are complete before we set off." The skinny youth had already come back when not even half a minute had passed. It was a speed unbelievable to normal human standards.

"I see..." The elder then dismissed the youth as he made haste.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, made sure to keep everything under his control. He knew that since they had not taken full control over the Eastern continent the empire might do something when they were out on the mission. There were still lots of people who were rebelling under their rule.

He was having a headache as he kept seventy percent of their power to guard their current foothold in the East. He left behind men who were only loyal to him to stay on the island as he was worried that the different factions on the clan might not work cooperatively.

He then took out some of the elites from different factions to make sure that no matter what happens when he returned he will still be the one true leader of the clan. If they had returned victorious then his name would only increase in fame and his position as Clan head would be solidified. If he lost then at most all he would lose are disloyal subordinates from other factions.

After wearing his azure armour he then made way towards the direction of the large ships. On the way he had met Elder Bai, "Greetings to Clan Head, all the preparations are now ready. The troops are ready to go at any moment as long as you give the word." The elder had respectfully greeted the Clan head as he made his report.

"Good work Elder Bai, Well then it's time so I'll leave you in charge of the base while I go."The clan head smiled as he left the elder. "I wish you best wishes Clan head, take care.....Make sure you come back alive."

The elder gave his farewells as he watched the clan head's back. "If only his father could see him now, he would be really proud of how much his own son has grown." He softly murmured to no one in particular.

The men began which was gathered in front of the Clan head all had resolved themselves to die. Each and every one of them had the strength which is comparable to the elite troops that Robert had brought from the Central Continent.

These men were trained by methods that their ancestors had polished taking the future into consideration. They knew that they wouldn't be able to stay in their island sanctuary forever and in order for them to come back with a much higher survival rate they needed to have power. The lack of resources however only made things tough for them.

Today was the day that they had made their mark.

Today they are no longer the cowards that had only survived because they had left the battlefield early. They are now men who will face the empire head on.

"Today the men and women of the Chen Clan would have the sweet taste of revenge that all of the descendants of the Chen Clan had been giving their lives for."

"TODAY WE SHALL KILL!"

An azure aura showed itself as it danced around the body of Ye Chen. It danced around like waves in the ocean. The crowd was astonished to see how terrifying their leader had become. Their hearts began to beat fast.

The crowd which had been initially just touched by the speech that Ye Chen had made no felt the strong urge to become the strength of their glorious leader as he had given them a flash of his power.

"FOR OUR POWER!"

"FOR OUR FREEDOM!"

"FOR OUR REVENGE!"

The crowd felt their bodies getting hot as they began shouting the same lines that the Clan head had said.

On the Western Continent, however, Anastasia had seen how Ye Chen had made complete dominance as if the whole world was his stage.

"He's good." Rina gave a comment as she had seen Ye Chen's speech. Anastasia who heard that gave a strange look at her sister. She knew brushed up and learned the history of the Chen's, so she knew things that Rina didn't.

"Don't you feel something weird from seeing that? Those people aren't even born when the empire made the purge, yet they feel extreme hatred towards the empire. I can only pity their childhood. I can almost imagine how they must've been raised." Anastasia gave her thoughts as she knew that hating something from generation to generation continuously must've been difficult.

After her sister had told her about it she too also began to feel the weirdness of the situation as she thought of it. She was almost swept up by the passionate speech that Ye Chen had given that she didn't take note of how extreme the crowd had been responding to his speech.
