"Master, how are you going to rescue your friends Evan and Herbert?" Violet asked with a concerned look. Due to the close relationship that she and her master had, she could directly communicate with Austin inside her mind. Therefore, she already knew everything that was going on.
She also knew it well that Austin was going to try to save his friends at any cost.
After a while, Austin's 500 guards, 1, 000 female servants and 1, 000 male servants gathered in the spacious main hall. They stood in orderly rows and waited patiently for Austin's instructions.
These servants had been adopted by the royal family of the Violet Orchid Empire from very young ages. They had been taught the manners and etiquette that cwith serving their masters over the course of their lives till now. The very core of their education was to be obedient and respectful of their master.
While waiting for Austin's words, they were also glancing at their new master with curiosity.
The female servants had already learned special techniques that were related to serving male masters. Although they were all virgins, they already had a deep knowledge of sex.
It was quite normal for the aristocrats and the officials to ask their female servants to sleep with them. Austin's female servants were nervous at the thought. They stared closely at their young master who couldn't have been more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
When they imagined serving this young man in his bed, they couldn't help blushing in shyness and feeling their heartbeats quicken. Austin was fairly handsome, especially after stage five of the Overlord Body Refining Formula.
"Okay, everyone. May | have your attention?" Austin cleared his throat and spoke in a loud voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'll be honest. I'm not from a noble clan, so | don't know any rules about these hierarchies. | don't have any special requirements for you, either.
| know that each of you has a cultivation base in martial arts. | would like it if you can spend most of your spare ton refining those skills.
If anyone makes an outstanding achievement and improves to a great extent, I'll give him or her a befitting reward.
Also. Remember that my first requirement is that you never try to create trouble for others and never bully the weak when you go out. On the other hand, never yield to anyone who dares to bully you. As your master, | won't allow you to be treated unfairly. That's all that | need you to do here.
You don't have to worry about my diet and daily life. Oh, and last but not the least, please don't kneel down on the ground when you see me. It's fine, really." Upon hearing Austin's words, the servants and the guards were left dumbfounded. They had never expected that their new master would be such an easy-going person! According to their education in the imperial palace, they were required to pay special attention to a rigid hierarchy and behave properly as a servant. They were required to do anything according to their masters’ orders.
Compared to their previous education, Austin's words didn't sound like orders at all! On the contrary, he had asked them to mainly focus on martial arts refinement. Was it tfor them to be cultivators instead of servants in this palace? They exchanged perplexed glances with each other and didn't know how to respond to such unusual orders.
Before they could figure out their next move, Austin opened his mouth again.
"Okay, the guards stay here please. The rest of you can leave now. You can go and do anything you want. Also, | would like to remain undisturbed unless you have something urgent to report to me." After the servants had left the main hall, the guards stood at attention in neat lines. It was the first tthat Austin was going to review this troop, so everyone kept their spirits up and wanted to give their master a good impression.
Austin put on a serious look as he told them, "I don't like blathering, but at the very least, | can promise you all that | won't treat anyone who is willing to followwith unfairness.
Now let's go straight to the matter. Two of my friends were kidnapped by Abbott, the leader of the Blood Wolf Team.
I'm planning to have a life-and-death fight with them and free my friends in the process.
As you all know, the Blood Wolf Team is the most notorious force of evil inside our empire. | want to know how many of you are willing to fight them alongside me." To be frank, Austin didn't need to ask them that. These guards had already established soul links with Austin. In their minds, Austin was the only person that they would submit to, and his words were above anything else in this world. They would follow his orders without hesitation even if he asked them to commit suicide, let alone fight against the Blood Wolf Team.
There was a moment of silence after Austin had finished his words.
And then, the guards suddenly shouted out in indignation.
"How dare the Blood Wolf Team offend our master! They deserve to be killed ten thousand times! They deserve to be sent to hell! Master, please allow us to go with you! Abbott is a real bastard! We will kill him and wipe out the Blood Wolf Team for you!" "Master, please give your orders to us now! We will fight for you till death!" "We will fight to the finish and will not stop until the Blood Wolf Team is eradicated!". . . .
"0-okay, thank you." Austin was surprised by these men's determination.
He coughed embarrassedly because he felt that his followers were acting almost more indignantly than himself.
"Master, your guards are really loyal and devoted to you!" Violet remarked, her eyes blinking in surprise.
"Okay, okay. Be quiet and listen to my plans now." Austin raised his hands and said over the hubbub of the hall.
Immediately, the guards fell into silence. This sense of discipline was a result of the excellent training they had received in the past.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin nodded with satisfaction. He could now understand how extraordinary the royal family's guards were.
"I'm glad that all of you have such a high morale. You'll need it.
However, there are two things that we need to do before going up against the Blood Wolf Team. Firstly, we have to find out the Blood Wolf Team's stronghold in the imperial capital city and secondly, the number and strength of their forces.
We should have the situation clear in our minds before we set out to save my friends.
Team leaders, please select your team members, and give preference to those who are deeply familiar with the imperial capital city. Send them out to investigate about the Blood Wolf Team as soon as possible." "Yes, sir!" The five team leaders stepped out of the line and answered. They were all at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm.
After giving his orders, Austin returned to a room for cultivation in the main hall.
As a reward of his championship in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games, he had received three drops of the Ancient Magic Liquid. He decided to consthem before the battle.
He had stored a large amount of numerous valuable herbs and pills inside his Space Ring, so he also wanted to consas much of them as possible too.
Aside from that, he still needed to store smore vital energy into the vital energy stone.
Such preparations were necessary because Austin knew that the Blood Wolf Team was a strong force to be reckoned with. Aside from Abbott who was at the medium stage of the Mysterious Realm, there were several other potent enemies too, many of whom were at the preliminary stage of the Mysterious Realm.
There were still many other members who were at the Earth Realm and differing levels of the Energy Gathering Realm.
To increase the possibility of his victory, Austin needed to make sufficient preparations for the battle.
