Death… And Me

Chapter 343 - Taking Control

Chapter 343 - Taking Control

The Units then began to reorganize themselves according to what Kassie said. There were several types of Units around. Some had only Foundation Establishment cultivators, while others had a few Core Formation cultivators in between. A few elite teams had more or were entirely made up of Core Formation Realm cultivators. Usually, these elite teams would have a Core and Soul Fusion leader, but it was rare for more than one to be present.

However, there was one problem in the cultivation world. It was the fact that all cultivators relied too much on their individual prowess. That being said, even when they moved as a Unit, you rarely encountered a group moving with formations.

The Death Unit was basically the only one that solely relied on it. Of course, the first three months when Roan trained everyone was worth it in the end. Roan's group was considered one of the top Units in the War Ranking. However, they only had 300 members. Compared to the other elite Units, they didn't even have half of their forces.

Calina was in the front line, preparing their team to attack, when all of a sudden, she received a Spiritual Sense Message.

'Welloi, Salatis, Juka, Zouei, and Verder. Ask those five to take another 49 members and move to the positions I'll tell you.'

Calina was taken aback for a moment. That wasn't Roan's voice, but Kassie instead. Still, as the main commander in this attack, Calina had to comply with the orders.

Those five were puzzled when they received those orders as well. Of course, they didn't dare to ignore it and immediately divided the group into six parts. Soon after, they moved away to join other Units at the front line.

Seeing that, Calina couldn't help but sigh.

'How am I going to lead our Death Unit now? To think that we would be separated even before the battle started. Well, Rean and Kentucky are still here with the elites of our group. However...'

Calina then looked at the five people the order mentioned.

Welloi and company were five cultivators that showed some talent at leading. During the three months Roan had been training their Unit, not only did he focus on Calina, but also on those five. A Unit isn't just led by a single commander. Small unit leaders were also necessary to piece the whole Unit together through the main commander. Only through an action like this could they use the Formations properly.

However, she soon noticed something different.

"This..."

It turns out that although those five had been separated from Calina, they were still inside her Spiritual Sense range. That being said, she could still give them orders on how to move together.

Soon, more strange things happened. Welloi and the others noticed that several Units began to attach to them. Not to mention that those Units were the elite ones with many Core Formation Realm cultivators. Calina wasn't an exception. She was specially given three Units with Core and Soul Fusion Realm leaders in the middle.

"Why are they staying behind us?"

"How would I know? They simply came on their own."

"Is it part of the plan?"

Suddenly, Welloi, Calina, and the other four heard a Spiritual Sense message. However, it wasn't from Kassie this time, but Roan.

'You six groups will be responsible for guiding the main elite groups during the attack. Use everything you learned. It's still morning, so you have until the end of the night to teach them how to use the cutting edge formation. The success of this operation depends on you.'

Soon after, Roan began to focus on other groups. He didn't have enough time to deal with those guys, so he left it for Calina and the rest to deal with.

Calina's group immediately began to sweat all over. Let's not even talk about the limited time to work with these new teams. Would they accept being led by the six of them? Especially with 'Illia,' a teenager, as the main commander between them all?

Besides, the cutting edge formation is just...

Sure enough, complaints began to appear right from the start.

"Leader, I can't accept this! Why do we need to follow that brat's orders?! She's gonna get us killed!"

"This isn't right. Death Unit is indeed one of the top-ranked Units. However, we are not any weaker. Shouldn't it be us that should lead instead?"

"Forget them. Once the battle starts, we will move as we wish."

Several similar sentences appeared right and left, making Calina and the others feel helpless. How would they teach these guys when they obviously have no intention of following their orders? Besides, the number of cultivators under her command right now was several times bigger than before. She had at least three thousand elite cultivators to lead!

It was then that Rean touched her shoulder and used a Spiritual Sense message.

'Calina, this is also a test. Tell me, how can you convince the Imperial Family of your rights to the throne if you can't even convince a bunch of low-level cultivators? This is just another roadblock in your path. Compared to what the future has for you, what can it be accounted for?'

Calina looked back at Rean, who seemed to be very calm. Finally, she took a deep breath and began to shout.

"Listen up! From now on, we are all a single Unit, and I'm the main commander! My orders are god's orders! What I say is the rule! Those who don't comply with it will be punished accordingly under the rules agreed between the Sects and Royal Family. Who are the leaders of the Units who joined me?! Step forward!"

All the Units looked at Calina with a surprised expression. Finally, one of the leaders stepped forward before saying.

"Little girl, no one here has any intention of doing whatever you want."

He was a cultivator from the Lagan Sect called Via Sunimai, his cultivation level at the Initial Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm. The guy was quite big, being almost twice Calina's size. However, the girl didn't step back.

"Hmph! Should I consider it as you breaking the rules Senior Kassie put in place?"

Via narrowed his eyes. Kassie was very straightforward. Those who don't follow the order would be executed. Of course, Via and the other leaders wouldn't simply leave things like that.
