Chapter 148 – Three Special Forces
Robin ignored Billy's question and looked at the patriarch, "Uncle Brian, have you collected the information I asked of you regarding those who are about to break into the knighthood?"
"Eh? Ahaaa.. yes yes, we stopped 6 cultivators who were about to build their pillars as you requested and I also collected the needed information, we currently have 8300 individuals that carry the family's name and their levels between 8 and 10."
"A large number… what about those under 50 years of age?" Robin muttered, then asked
"Oh?" he get a small book out of his poke and started flipping its pages, "If we deducted those, then… the number would be roughly 3700 individuals." The patriarch replied after thinking for a while
Robin nodded, "…Still a lot, but no problem we can make it work with that."
"Work with what? What are you even talking about?" Asked Billy annoyingly
"The time has come, Billy.. it is time to strengthen the foundations of this family and get past our shallow roots as a weak Earl family" Robin stated
The Patriarch was surprised by the response, and asked, "Our shallow roots? What do you mean? .. Is that Metal Pyramid related to the matter?"
Robin nodded, "Right, for those who don't know… the patriarch constructed a pyramid as per my request, it is almost 6 meters high, made from the metals used in low-level weapons… and over the past months I've used a massive rune to cover every inch of it.. now that pyramid can be used as a 50,000-slots Oath Tablet!" thousand units."
"Fifty thousand?!" Everyone shouted at once, that is a huge number
Robin nodded, "Now, we won't have to make Oath Tablets anymore except for sale, or perhaps for use in our new lands… the existence of the pyramid made many things possible."
"things like what?" Asked Billy, a pyramid of this scale and those materials was certainly not built to be a landmark!
Robin smiled with a slight smile, "Starting tomorrow, start gathering the family members who are between the eighth and the tenth levels and whose ages are less than 50 years old,
They will take an oath on the pyramid to never leak the family secrets and techniques to anyone and to serve as the family's special forces for at least 100 years, after the 100 years they can stay and continue their hard work for us or they can leave it if they had enough of the life in the army"
The patriarch understood something and asked quickly, "You mean…"
Robin nodded and took out 4 small scrolls from a bag that was next to his chair and put them on a table, and he unfolded them all next to each other…
they were all completely empty except for a small mark on the top of each scroll, and then he started pointing at them and said, "The three scrolls starting from the right are the three major heavenly laws that the boys have,
The fourth one is an energy cultivation technique, which I recently modified to speed up the absorption and filtering of energy… All of you can inject your spiritual sense into this fourth scroll now."
Without delay, all the attendees passed their spiritual sense into it, and after doing it everyone felt as if he had received a direct hit to his soul and sat motionless in his place…
All of them remained in this state for about 10 minutes.
"Amazing.. amazing.." Mila was the first to start speaking even with her eyes still closed, she already knew that Robin had developed a technique to cultivate the natural energy more quickly and effectively, but this is even better than she expected…
"This technique…!" Billy raised his voice in shock as he opened his eyes wide
"Haha I know I know, with the help of this technique in addition to the Soul Revitalizing Pill, you can undoubtedly break through to level 22 during the current year."
Even the Patriarch sighed after opening his eyes, "If I had this Energy cultivation technique in my youth I would have… Sigh~"
As for Robin's four sons, they were not as impressed, they know the original cultivation technique that Robin modified and there wasn't that much of a difference, but Zara still carved the new Energy Cultivation Technique into her mind
As for the three boys, they have their own Energy Cultivation Techniques that match the law they use, so they really benefited nothing…
"Where were we… aha, As for the family youths that are between the eighth and the tenth level who accepts the conditions I mentioned before and takes the oath on the pyramid, we will have them all pass their soul sense into the Energy Cultivation Technique scroll first, then have them choose between fire, wind, and darkness major heavenly laws and pass their soul sense in their chosen scroll as well.
But before they chose you have to tell them what will they be doing, Those who choose the wind will be the vanguard of the army, they will work to bring news, carry out operations that require speed, they will also be trained as an elite archers force that will back the armies for behind if needed
those who choose the dark will work to master stealth and the arts of assassination and hunting inside enemy territory, and taking the officers' heads as the battle goes, they will always remain in the shadows, but the effect of their work will surely be legendary…
as for those who choose the fire major heavenly law, they will be a special forces team belonging to the main army, they will take head on battles, they will bear the most danger, but the most glory as well…
My three children will be responsible for their training and leading the force of their own laws in and outside of the wars, you can say that they always are their personal guards, this is an order that can't be changed with out further orders from me personally.
These forces will be the hands and legs of the Burton family in the future, they must receive the best armaments, training resources, and the best treatment and respect for themselves and their families, those guys will be the new generation of knights in our family!"
"Hmmm..?! Hmmm!!!" Theo stood and kept gesturing madly
"What… Aha I see, you are worried about communicating with your followers?" Robin asked
Theo nodded quickly, "Hm! Hm!"
"…I didn't think about that, to be honest… It is alright, I will find a solution for you before the personal training starts, does anyone have another question?" He asked and started looking around
Caesar looked at Peon excitedly, then replied in one breath, "We are ready."
"Those Four Scrolls… Aren't you worried that they will be stolen like the soul techniques? If this happened, a certain disaster would occur… even my father would start a war with you over those!" asked Mila worriedly
"… That was overly honest… anyway, there are no other copies than those four you are seeing, and they will always be with me.
even if some super guy manages to pass the Saints of the Royal Family and take them from me, I have put a self-destruct seal that I can activate at any time and destroy the scroll with a thought…
but if I am killed before I activate the seal… well, Let's just say I don't care what happens to them next Ahahaha, heh~ is there anything else?"
As for the patriarch and Billy, they didn't respond…
they just seemed absent-minded, sometimes they would smile, sometimes they would frown, it as if they are swimming in their dream world, busy thinking about the possibilities behind those three special forces
even the three boys didn't seem in their complete focus, Theo and Peon had a look of enthusiasm, it was clear that they were looking forward to their own special squads and even began to make preparations and set training programs in their heads!
as for Caesar, after his initial excitement, it died down quickly as he sat there silently, even frowning a little… But Robin didn't put much thought into this.
"…I think no one has additional questions, good! Patriarch, do we have new news about the Duchy of Evren?" Robin asked, changing the subject, it was a rare event to see all the key members of the family, it is an ideal day to make the younger ones know the situation around them
The patriarch returned from his stupor but quickly closed his eyebrows, "Of course, there are.. the harassment and confiscation of vehicles reached their climax two months ago, they were even an armed conflict that a few individuals on our side died in,
and instead of even apologizing to us, they are now demanding ten gold coins for each person who crosses the border from our side to the new lands, and they will take 10% of all the armaments from the wagons that cross their lands."
