Chapter 384 - The Great Leaders Of The Sentinels Faction
"As long as you progress and offer more value to the faction, your rewards and future are limitless. We do not base rewards off of status or relations and everyone must work for their place in the faction, with the leaders having absolute authority. We have weeded out the weak and disloyal and now we can carry on forwards with the name of the sentinels"
"I will be watching over all of you and am yet to truly have to use my power. Nobody can threaten my faction or cause trouble in my territory and you will see me once again in the future" stated Adam before disappearing into thin air.
He wanted to make his presence and authority as the Secret Leader of the Sentinels Faction memorable and known by all and while giving his speech, Adam was using the Charm Skill the entire time.
Adam wasn\'t using it to make them attracted to him or manipulate them, which wouldn\'t occur as he only used a small amount of its power, however, he used it to increase his likeability and the reverence that they felt towards them.
His speech was perfect and even his friends were in awe and couldn\'t help but respect Adam and forget that he was the same age or younger than them and was also their friend.
They saw Adam as either an intimidating killing machine, a reckless and relaxed youth, or a charismatic and respectable leader.
It was as if he could change to match any situation and he was still watching what was occurring in his Soul Form, which made it appear to the onlookers that he had disappeared..
"Leader Wayde, also known as the Flame Master of this city will also become a leader of this faction and the 5 main units will all be on equal standing no matter how much power or how many members they have. We will be swearing on our lives that we will work towards the betterment of the faction, meaning that infighting will be impossible and we must all help each other become greater" Chase announced.
Chase\'s words seemed to carry the most weight after that of Adam\'s after his great display of power and care for those that fought beside him, using his hardened body as a shield for many attacks and protecting all of them with his life.
"Transfers between factions will be quite ordinary and you can each request a transfer, but must be accepted by the unit leader you are currently in and the unit leader whose unit you wish to join. Bellow the leaders, there will be many different leadership roles and the life-bonding contracts must all be formed with one of the 5 leaders" stated Elizabeth.
"Together we will lead this world into a new age and all talents will be greatly valued, but nothing beats hard work and one cannot allow a talent grading or their pasts to hold them back. Joining the sentinels faction allows one to start a new life of glory and each of you are valued members of the faction" Angela continued.
"I will be in charge of a combat unit that specialises in using all forms of weaponry and I will also be pushing members of the faction towards studying. The unit I form will be open to everyone and those within the unit will be paid, while those using the services of our unit will be able to do so for free, as long as they are a member of the faction" declared Wayde.
"Everything is clear to you all and you are all dismissed. Be sure to return to your homes and recover and tomorrow everything will be sorted out. In the morning, make sure to head towards the current location of your headquarters and instructions will be given from there" stated Cole.
Adam was impressed by how great the leadership of his friends was and also how coherent they were when speaking. It was as if they were all in sync and all their subordinates listened carefully and showed respect.
"We are proud to be a part of the sentinels and thank the leaders and the Secret Leader for his protection and guidance" all the cultivators declared in unison before dispersing and returning to the city.
"Now we have the fun job of clearing this place up and we probably won\'t get much sleep tonight as we will have to prepare our communications and logistics in order to handle such a large amount of members," said Cole after all the cultivators had left.
"We also need to find out how the Soul Contracts are formed from Adam, who disappears whenever it is time to actually take some responsibility and clear up his mess" added Angela as she cursed him under her breath.
There were many things involved in leading such a large faction and sorting it out would be very arduous and would take quite a long time, which was why Adam left it in their hands, but he couldn\'t help but laugh to himself as he heard them speak about him.
They were unable to hear him, but in his Soul Form, he was able to hear them and from what he had understood, the frequency of sound that Soul Forms communicate in cannot be heard by most physical forms.
Adam suddenly appeared behind Angela after reverting to his Physical Form and placed his arm over her shoulder.
"So, this is what you talk about behind my back," said Adam as he began laughing at the utterly shocked expression of his friends.
He began teasing them and Angela was flustered with Adam\'s arms over her shoulder as she began trying to attack him, but to no avail.
"Calm down Angela, you wouldn\'t be able to hit me even with my eyes closed" he teased as they continued joking around.
The mood had completely changed from that of the battlefield and speeches and it felt hard to realise that they were still youths that shouldn\'t have many responsibilities or worries.
"Now then, about clearing this place up, you can leave it to me" reassured them Adam, who didn\'t want them to waste their time on getting rid of all the blood and bodies that lay all around the battlefield.
