The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1903

Master Mackenzie stared coldly at the empty glass. "I don't care what you think about Fane Woods. I've already made up my mind to do everything in my power to stop him from advancing further."

Master Loader knitted his brow and glanced sideways at Master Mackenzie. " Are you saying that you'll personally handle him?"

Master Mackenzie nodded his head without any hesitation. "You should save your breath trying to talk me out of it with your baseless logic. That brat is not the same puny insect that we can easily squash under our feet. He's more like a tiger now, though still nothing we can't handle." Master Loador turned around and sta:

Master Mackenzie with a grave expression. Master Mackenzie did not bother looking back at him for he and continued on saying, "If we don’t do something about him, it'll be our heads rolling on the ground next. Thus, he should be prevented from advancing further at all costs. We would need to gather all the Alliance Guard's power to take down the Nine Armies even if others might think we're making something out of nothing."

The high death toll of so many skilled fighters had sounded an alarm bell in Master Mackenzie's mind. He took a deep breath and shouted at the guards outside of the door, "Send the message to all of the higher-level-ups of the Alliance Guard to gather in the meeting room!"

The tension in the meeting room was palpable and it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The higher-level-ups had already received reports from their disciples about the Nine Armies' situation before they gathered. Their expressions all turned grave when they received the news. Alathic Hackford of the Wind Cloud Pavilion, one of the six great clans, was so incensed that his beard curled up unto itself. He could not believe that the Nine Armies were able to eliminate all their skilled fighters.

Master Mackenzie went straight to the point and told them all about his thinking. Master Hackford frowned upon hearing his plan for he did not fully agree with it. "So your plan is for us to leave our base camp and head toward the Nine Armies? Isn’t this a bit too much?" Though he was similarly furious about all the dead fighters, he did not think they needed to leave where they were and fight to the death at the enemy's location.

Upon hearing the question, Master Mackenzie rested his cold gaze on Master Hackford. "Too much? How could you ask this under these dire circumstances? The fighters we sent out were the best of the best, yet look at how they've ended up!

Even if we send out stronger fighters now they would no doubt be slaughtered too!"

Master Hackford's lips twitched at the reply but did not say anything in the end. Throughout this. Master Loador sat quietly at the head of the table with knitted brows. Nobody had any idea what was going on in his mind for he did not refute or agree to anything Master Mackenzie said, choosing to remain neutral. However, everyone present could sense the anger seething beneath his skin.

While the Alliance Guard was busy discussing how to mount an attack on the Nine Armies, the atmosphere at the Nine Gods Clan was the total opposite. The large group of alchemists brought back by Fane Woods had created a seemingly-infinite number of pills in just a few days. Thanks to the pills, the combined power of the Nine Gods Clan had drastically increased. Many of the ultimate god level fighters had leveled up to the soul-penetrating status. It seemed like Lady Luck was smiling down on them as things got better and better.

In the end, Master Zeller and Master Yarbrough decided to stay with the Nine Gods Clan.
