The truth

"Now that each person has their assigned area, anyone can start the search now. I ordered.

As soon as my sentence was finished, the silhouettes of the ranks (E-) and above blurred as the ranks (F +) entered the city while paying attention to their surroundings.

But at the same time Arthur, Frederick, Charles and Edward heard my voice reach their ears.

"Stay here, I have to talk to you. "

When that voice finished speaking the generals started to feel anxious but had no choice but to obey.

They quickly appear in front of me on one lap.

"I have a question for you. I said quietly, keeping a calm expression.

Arthur and the others were quiet.

"I would like to know when you died how long you were in this dark space? "

Arthur spoke first.

"In my training I died three times, I don't know how long I was in this space because I had no notion of time. "

The others followed, nodding

"We also don't know how long we stayed but the period should be between one or two weeks. "

Listening to this information I was still calm but the surrounding air was starting to get heavy.

"I told you that I was only there for an hour when I died in (F) rank so why not let me know. "

All the generals rested their foreheads on the ground in redemption.

"We're sorry, we noticed that when we knew approximately the duration, the experience received after exiting this space is significantly diminished. »Said Charles hastily.

"I also tested this theory and my 3rd death was willed, I committed suicide to see if my will could still undergo huge transformations, but the experiment was unsuccessful. After undergoing this torture twice my willpower could only cause an improvement of 100,000 exp. Arthur continued.

"We had a theory, the prison sentence is directly related to our will, the stronger our will, the longer the prison sentence will be. It is both a threat to our life and an opportunity to become stronger in an extremely short period of time, so in order not to spoil our King's opportunity we have made the unanimous decision to withhold this information from you. Edward added.

Listening to this information, I had a slight headache, not knowing how to react. If he had given me this information, my level probably would have increased by one or two levels instead of my 4 levels. However, I really felt endless desperation in this place, so I wish I had known this information.

Suddenly, I was strengthening my resolve.

"You certainly haven't made the wrong decision. "

All of my generals suddenly lifted their heads to look me in the eye. I could notice their disbelieving faces at my words.

They were already expecting a very heavy punishment, even death, because they had endangered the life of their King!

I raised my hand slightly and the spiritual energy began to gather around me, then I lowered it and the energy flowed around me and my generals to form an invisible dome that allowed no sound to escape. .

"I am going to describe to you the current situation of the human race, so no word from my mouth must come out of here, or the already fragile human society will be completely wiped out. "

The generals were even more stunned by my words, information had long been completely restricted and it took some status to just get a brief glimpse of the current situation. However their expressions became resolute in the next moment, swearing in their hearts that they wouldn't let anything slip away.

"Victoria gave me a brief summary of the current situation of the human race, and I can tell you that it is truly abysmal. Although it has been about a million years since mankind began to explore the vast universe and embark on the path of culture, true human powers are few and far between and barely enough to protect a meager territory. Because of our own weakness, humans are attacked by multiple races at the same time and struggle to survive, it is only through the continued sacrifices of countless powerful soldiers that mankind can survive today! Unfortunately this did not stop the other races from capturing many human cities and turning the humans into slaves! "

Everyone's expressions turned very ugly at the news. They weren't aware of it at all. As countless soldiers risked their lives on the battlefield and many humans suffered in an unknown place, the generals led extravagant lives in their small towns.

I continued despite the chaotic thoughts of my generals.

"My talent allows me to break this situation, but I need time and the opportunity to shorten that time is extremely precious. So you have made the right decision, no punishment will be carried out. "

The generals were still very disturbed by this news.

"Take it back! We are still weak, but we won't be forever! For now, let's do what's within our grasp including the mystery of the disappearance of the inhabitants of Aurora. So now immediately go to your assigned areas and do your best to find clues that would track the inhabitants. They couldn't just vanish like that! "

Arthur, Edward, Charles and Frederick took a deep breath and the next moment they became unfazed. Yet at that moment, the hearts of each of them were forever transformed.

As they were about to return to the city, something in their minds felt something breaking in their minds, as a vortex of several diameters appeared above each of them.

Seeing this scene, it was my turn to be stunned.

"Are they really gonna be promoted now?" "

I tried to approach, but the spiritual energy gathered for the promotion of 4 ranks (D) was so intense that it pushed me away.

The 4 generals began to float a few inches above the ground, then they began to climb gently into the air.

1 meter

2 meters

...

10 meters

Finally they came to a stop 10 meters above the ground. 4 gigantic tornadoes had already appeared. The event was of such magnitude that people inside Aurora could even see these huge tornadoes from their position.

About ten minutes later ...

Arthur, Edward, Charles and Frederick were quietly descending to the ground. Everyone had their eyes closed, enjoying the effects of the baptism of spiritual energy. Even I could feel that their temper had changed to become more mysterious and extraordinary.

Ding

[Detected that 4 ranks (E +) have transcended their rank to reach rank (D-).]

[A reward will be given to them for their promotion to rank (D-)]

[Obtained a random talent ticket (Uncommon).]

[Detected that this is the 1st time the host's subordinates have reached rank (D-)]

[The reward leveled up.]

[Random talent ticket (Uncommon) becomes Random talent ticket (Rare).]

[The Random Talent Ticket (Rare) is now available in their owner's inventory.]

As the notifications sounded one after the other, I saw Arthur slowly opening his eyes, but I couldn't see any hint of joy in his gaze, unlike his habit. Instead, one could see extreme coldness in it.

Arthur gently clenched his fist, feeling his vitality and strength run through his whole body. He knew he had taken another step to show the hostile races that the human race is not weak and that they would all pay a high price for despising him.

And Arthur knew that the opportunity for the human race to reach such a future was held out by the young one before him.
