Chapter 466 - Three Division Leaders in a Meeting
The snow gale dispersed and sunlight returned to the earth . Nevertheless, within a night, Skyheart City became even more solemn . The nights once filled with music and songs were gone . Aristocratic families had their tails tucked between their legs . No one wanted to offend Madam Ye at this time .
Bloodstains left by the Guillotines on a Snowy Night event had yet to fade .
No one knew what Madam Ye’s next move was going to be, but discerning people knew not to provoke her .
The three central divisions had strict military discipline .
After Guillotines on a Snowy Night, not even one elementalist from the central divisions could be seen on the streets .
Brilliant military glory, unfathomable, valiant with unsurpassable abilities, cold-blooded and cruel, killing without blinking, strict military conduct… These were the impressions and memories that the city had of the three central divisions .
The three divisions were stationed in different places .
The Surveillance Division was stationed in a military camp located within Skyheart City . They were supposed to be stationed in a practice ground of the Sky Edge Division but the Judgement Division was stationed there temporarily . It wasn’t a big area and its facilities were very simple and basic, but the Judgement Division did not mind at all .
In fact, the military camp had more than enough space for the Judgement Division .
Aside from the three central divisions’ glory, their strength exceeded the other 10 divisions even though they had the three smallest battle teams among all Thirteen Divisions of the Avalon of Five Elements . The Surveillance Division had the biggest team, and even then, it was made up of under 1,000 members . The Judgement Division had only 800 people, whereas the smallest division, Dread, had 500 .
In actuality, the three central divisions had never ever been fully filled .
The member selection process of the three divisions was extremely strict . They would rather be shorthanded than recruit unsuitable elementalists . They had exceedingly high psychological demands from their elementalists and would abandon those with slightly weaker willpower .
An unremarkable looking Three Leaves Bamboo Cart appeared at the military camp entrance .
There was no marking and nothing conspicuous . It was just a commonly seen cargo transport cart except that its body was covered in a thick black cloth so its interior couldn’t be seen .
By now, few people used Three Leaves Bamboo Carts to ferry goods since they were more difficult to use and elemental energy cost more . The cart required a huge volume of elemental energy and was simply not cost effective for transporting goods . The trend now was to make use of load basin beasts, which consumed less elemental energy . They had the heaviest cargo capacity, were easy to raise, and had a high survival rate outside the city .
This was Skyheart City, the biggest city in Beyond Avalon after all . It housed the most aristocratic families and was one of the most prosperous lands, but the number of Three Leaves Bamboo Carts was still lower .
Nearing the camp entrance, the cart instantly slowed down . An elementalist stood guard at the gate with a fixed expression on his faces . He would detect over 10 wisps of energy locking down on him from within the shadows if he had keen senses .
The cart door opened and a seven or eight year old girl alighted . Her hair reached her ears and was glossy and smooth . Her hairstyle resembled a round apple with a neat fringe covering her forehead . She had chubby cheeks, jade-like skin, and long eyelashes like brushes . She was like a cute little doll .
A few expressionless guards followed behind .
The elementalist, who stood guard with a stern expression, saluted . "Madam Caijue !"
The girl nodded calmly before walking over from the door .
This scene was rather comical . An adorable little girl behaving like an adult made her even more adorable . Her steps were very small and her walking speed was slow because of her size and short legs . Those immeasurably strong people behind her followed her pace, so they were practically inching forward with small, quick steps .
A fierce and tough looking elementalist, who stood rigidly, bowed respectfully with a stern expression and a fixed gaze .
No one would’ve thought that this young little girl, Ximen Caijue, was actually the division leader of the mysterious Judgement Division .
Upon entering the military camp, elementalists could be seen practicing with all their might . Some practiced alone while others were sparring . There was almost no difference when compared to the other battle divisions, but if the other 10 divisions were to witness this scene, they would notice something strange .
Silence . Unusual silence .
Lone trainers analyzed, pondered, and gestured quietly . Training with a partner was much more intense . Blood splattered from time to time, and some elementalists already had many injuries . No one complained, however, as if they had no concept of pain .
It was a strange scene .
Ximen Caijue and her guards looked on indifferently as it wasn’t their first time witnessing something like this .
Nian Tingfeng saw Ximen Caijue and her group approaching and greeted, "What occasion is it today that Madam Ximen Caijue is visiting personally?"
The girl answered coldly, "Wan Shenwei is here too!"
The smile on Nian Tingfeng’s face remained, but the cheery expression in his eyes was gone . "Why such a big fuss? Then let’s talk in the meeting hall . "
With that, he turned around and led the way .
Ximen Caijue’s guards and Nian Tingfeng’s subordinates stopped outside the meeting hall .
In the spacious meeting hall, Nian Tingfeng brewed his own tea . While boiling the water, he said, "Skyheart City’s tea leaves are much better than the Old Territory’s . I got this from confiscating possessions ,so I forgot which family it belonged to . Asking these fellows to battle and kill enemies is bothering them, but they are all experts in enjoying life . I’ve not tried more than half of the tea leaves that I seized . I’ll go get more from different families once this batch finishes . "
Ximen Caijue kept quiet, her apple face remaining stern and cold .
Not long after, a lushly bearded man pushed open the door and entered the hall . This big man was exceptionally tall and sturdy, like a man from the mountains . His hands were much longer than an ordinary person’s . He looked a little like an ape . It could be seen from his face that he’d face many hardships . There were many fine crisscrossing scars and his arms and legs were also covered in scars .
