Refining the Heavens 4 (炼天四)

Chapter 36: Operation MOM

With just one look Edward knows what the Great General Lorelai wants to convey and shuddered.

"If you dare let a hair on my niece be harmed, prepared to die!"

Despite that, the archer somehow managed to feel a little happy amid being frightened.

It's strange, but it was like Luciette had confirmed their relationship to her family, although the two of them do not actually know exactly what kind of relationship they are in right now.

This joy was small compared to the death stare he is receiving.

In front of the others, the archer started turning pale.

It is downright frightening to face the anger of a Great General, much less someone with such unnaturally thick bloodlust.

The Great General had seen this countless times. Her bloodlust came from the special cultivation method she is practicing and it helps paralyse her opponents in battle.

Compared to her victims, to remain unflinching, the boy is already at the top class with his level of courage.

Furthermore there is a silly grin that appears every now and then.

That happiness that blossomed in his chest simply refused to submit. It is like the cool rays of the sun that wouldn't extinguish no matter how thick the clouds are.

When the Great General saw this, she immediately smiled.

"My niece has quite a good taste for men. If only I was like that when I was younger. Sigh."

None of the Great General's previous romantic relationships ended up happily. In fact, quite a few almost died from heart attacks after Lorelai looked at them once. The rest who were attracted by her good looks or soft-spoken nature, all fled without looking back.

Unfortunately for Lorelai, picking a powerful cultivation method is great, but getting a right one is just as important...

Although the Great General was happy that Edward managed to 'survive' she still looked hard at him and said in a steely voice, "Rest assured and carry out your plans. Remember, my crew and I specialise in long ranged attacks. Our targets can never hide far enough."

This time, Edward shuddered involuntarily.

Is she talking about the coming battle at the Ku Kang camp? She is talking about that right?

Why is she looking in my direction while discussing war tactics?

After the Saint Empire frontline troops introduced themselves, it's the Snowdrifts' turn. Esley looked at Kairos and requested him to take over. With a nod, the boy commander started introducing the leaders of Snowdrifts.

The first ones to be called out are Alan Walker and Lux Cixton.

Both of them are defensive-type cultivators and perfect to lead the first wave of soldiers.

Alucard also joined this group so that he could fight alongside his grandfather, Diao Ling.

From him team, Lan Lei of the Resounding Thunder family, volunteered to follow next to Avgust. Kairos briefly remembered that he is from a family of generals and had a look full of admiration for the Great General of the Wispy Willows.

Alongside these four, Kairos suddenly called out one more name. Unexpectedly, it is a person from the Saint Empire frontlines.

"If possible, I would like to borrow Martial Captain, Sihala Huluhuala to join this operation alongside my friends."

Esley gestured his approval, and a young man walked out from the back of the crowd and nodded quietly at Kairos.

With him, their setup will be complete.
