But before he could get in, the guards stopped him. “Hold it. Who goes there?”
I am...
Just before the divine brigadier could answer, someone ran up to him and bellowed, “Sir! It's good to see you!”
And then the man bowed before the divine brigadier fervently.
“The divine brigadier? Is that true? He's back? He's really back?”
“The divine brigadier is back!”
“He's back!”
Roars of welcome swept through The Cardinal Hall, and everyone heard it loud and clear. When they knew the divine brigadier had come back, everyone erupted into cheers.
Even the fighters in solitary training came out to welcome him.
Most of the time, only four of the twelve divine generals were on duty, but since the divine brigadier had returned, all twelve came out to see him.
The whole reason they went into solitary training in the first place was to await the divine brigadier's return.
Even the ancient fighters showed up, and on top of that, a lot of the fighters of Eragon came to The Cardinal Hall as well.
This was the biggest event of The Cardinal Hall for a long time to come. Back then, a lot of people objected when the divine brigadier said he'd leave for solitary training. But that would take a long time, and he was The Cardinal Hall's leader.
It'd be akin to a king leaving his empire for years. That was impermissible, and it was the same for The Cardinal Hall. The leader had to be around to keep the place safe, but the divine brigadier insisted on leaving. He wanted to get stronger and reach new heights.
That was why he left everything behind and went into training. More power. But before his departure, he left a message. “When I return, I shall be the strongest man on earth.”
Now that he finally made his return, everyone thought he was already invincible. Why else did he come back then?
“Greetings, sir!”
“Long live the divine brigadier!”
Everyone knelt before him and cheered, celebrating his return. The divine brigadier was their leader and the strongest fighter among them. With him at the helm again, nothing could stop The Cardinal Hall.
“We have long awaited this, divine brigadier.”
The divine generals were shedding tears
