Death… And Me

Chapter 356 - After Battle

Chapter 356 - After Battle


Well, Calina and Malaka were not the only girls present. Although men were still the majority, the cultivation world had a huge number of women too. Between 20% to 30% of the entire army was composed of them. That being said, quite a few were present in the elite Unit.


Rean arrived a moment later, just in time to see Roan patting the girl"s heads.


"Give up, impostor! What did you do with the real Roan?!"


Roan"s mouth twitched as he looked at Rean.


"Since I"m an impostor, I guess there is no problem in beating a few enemies. What about I start with you? Does it sound a good idea?"


Finally, Rean nodded.


"Oh! Seems like you are the real one. There is no need for that."


*Pfft*


*Hahahaha!*


Immediately, everyone around began to laugh, including Malaka and Calina. The bad mood was quickly swept away with that. After that, a few of the leaders, like Dillo and Via, who were not part of the original Death Unit, came forward to say something.


"Little girl, this Cutting Edge Formation was really something else. I can"t believe you really kept it working all the way to the end."


"Indeed. You opened this old man"s eyes. I guess one really can"t judge a book for its cover."


Other female cultivators also came to compliment Calina.


"You really showed all these guys how things are done."


"Good job, girl. If you need my help in the future, just come to my Sarai Clan. I"ll be sure to lend you a hand."


Calina couldn"t help but feel a little embarra.s.sed with all those compliments. It"s one thing to have the ability, but another to be recognized. She quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and bowed to everyone.


"Seniors, sorry for the way I treated you before. That was the only way I could use to make everyone work together."


Via just shook his head before saying.


"Don"t worry about that. We didn"t do any better to start with."


Dillo agreed.


"It would have been the same, whether it was you or any other appointed commander. It"s nothing personal. It"s just that we believed that keeping our own Unit under our command would be better than some outsiders taking control of all. Any other person on our side would have complained all the same. However, you proved to be able to do it, besides..."


Everyone then looked in the direction that Ca.s.sen"s Alliance retreated.


"We did something incredible thanks to this Cutting Edge Formation. Although we did lose a few of our members, everyone knew what to expect during this war. I can already imagine the rewards that everyone who partic.i.p.ated will receive."


Immediately, everyone"s eyes shone. Indeed, they made the highest contribution during this battle. They would all receive a tremendous amount of Merit Points after the calculation was done. One must not forget that it was only because of these rewards that a significant portion of the cultivators took part in this war.


Calina smiled. However, she knew that the Cutting Edge Formation was pa.s.sed to her by Roan. The formation didn"t collapse under her command. That was true. However, the main factor was still Rean"s area of effect Light Element Abilities. Not to mention every time he went around with Kentucky healing everyone who got injured.


However, just as she was about to say that, Rean also stepped forward.


"Indeed. Illia did a really great job. It was all thanks to her commands that everything went okay. Of course, we are all responsible for our success, myself included. Still, we need to be grateful for that."


"Ah? No, That"s-"


Roan agreed with Rean.


"Snow White is right. I wasn"t even here due to a few problems on the backlines. Fortunately, she was a good apprentice, so she was able to accomplish this independently. I"m really impressed with this formation as well."


Calina was taken aback. Why are they giving all the credits to her? They knew very well that she didn"t do it alone. However, Rean and Roan ignored her.


"Who the h.e.l.l is Snow White?"


"Oh! Don"t you like the name? I find it to be perfect."


"Perfect, your a.s.s! Stop coming up with these weird names."


"Ha! Said the guy who uses everything except my name."


"My names are still better than Snow White."


"The h.e.l.l they are!"


In the end, Calina didn"t even have the chance to clarify anything as the twins bickered against each other.


Finally, the two got tired of the argument a few minutes later.


"Whatever. I"m not going to waste my time with you anymore."


Rean then looked at the teams before saying.


"Everyone who is injured, come forward. I"ll do something about that."


Roan also ignored Rean and pulled Calina with Malaka away.


"Roan, I didn"t do all of that alone, you know that."


Roan shook his head.


"You should take as much support as you can. In the future, it might prove beneficial to you. Do you think the leaders of those Units are idiots? They know that Rean"s Light Element was also one of the main factors for the Formation to work until the end. Still, they silently agreed to leave all the credits for you. Just keep quiet and accept it. Otherwise, all our efforts would have been for nothing."


Roan then looked at Malaka.


"You too. Don"t go around saying nonsense, understood?"


Malaka felt wronged.


"But I didn"t say anything!"


Roan nodded.


"It"s good that you didn"t."


Roan then changed the topic.


"Alright. Now I want to hear everything you learned. What happened while commanding, your thoughts, why you did what you did, everything. I"ll then tell you what I saw from far away and give my opinion based on what I hear."


Calina and Malaka nodded. After every battle, he would take the two girls and give his lectures based on their experiences. As little as it might change, he would never let it pa.s.s.


While Rean and Roan got busy, the ancestors and representatives of the various countries gathered together again. As one could imagine, all the eyes were on Ka.s.sie and "her" stupendously great commanding ability. It far surpa.s.sed what the other sects and royal family strategists knew about. The thing that caught their attention the most was how "she" could make everyone work with formations even though it was their first time.


Ka.s.sie looked at Dalamu"s Ancestor, but Zuan shrugged his shoulders. Right after, he sent her a Spiritual Sense message.


"What do you want me to do? Tell everyone that the real commander was Roan? Let alone whether they will believe it or not. Even if they do, it"s a terrible idea to let others know what he did today. Having the Umbral Sect aiming at them is already enough. The twins don"t need more enemies. Just come up with some excuse, and that"s it. Besides, considering Roan"s personality, he probably couldn"t care less about fame."


Ka.s.sie sighed as she looked at everyone.


"Ahem... There is no need for everyone to feel this impressed. While I"m not cultivating, I spent most of my time drawing talismans or playing Sisca. After so long, I obviously came up with many strategies. Today I just tried to put them into practice."


"You saw it yourselves, didn"t you? There were many, many mistakes which had a lot of our cultivators killed in the process. You are making it look bigger than it really is. I"m happy that we achieved this victory and that we can now take over the Triliun and Transten Ore deposit. We should now focus on it and on the rewards of the survivors."


However, Burin didn"t let it go and immediately asked the question in everyone"s minds.


"I can understand that your formations worked fine. However, how did you take control of the enemy"s formation? If not for that, this war would have been a lot more gruesome. That was truly the turning point of this battle."


Ka.s.sie felt like crying. How would she know? The one who made it was Roan, not her. Still, she had already come up with the perfect excuse.


"Hehe! The way I used to take control over their Formation was obviously... a secret!"


Other than the Dalamu Sect members, everyone else cursed Ka.s.sie in their minds. The problem here was precisely that. If she could take control over the Formation on the Ca.s.sen"s Country Side, couldn"t she do the same with their sects or Royal Family formations? Still, Ka.s.sie couldn"t care less about what they were thinking.


Zuan also agreed with Ka.s.sie before saying.


"Who would be idiotic enough to tell others about such a thing? Wouldn"t it make our Dalamu Sect"s advantage disappear? Let alone me, I doubt that any of your sects or the Royal Family would tell the others either. You should just be happy that I used it for us to take control of the enemy"s formations, guaranteeing our victory."


No one could find a flaw in Zuan"s words. Indeed, if they were the ones to discover a way to pull such a move, they wouldn"t say a single word either. In the end, they just made a mental note to have this event thoroughly investigated later. However, for now...


"Let"s finish and organize everything as fast as possible. We will depart tomorrow morning for the Palau Mountain Range. That"s where the Triliun and Transten deposits are located. I have no doubt that Ca.s.sen and the other countries will try to extract as much mineral as possible before we arrive there."


Everyone agreed with those words and immediately left to take care of the arrangements.
