They were once mere cannon fodder in the new alliance under Yaquis Holiness, relegated to menial
tasks and constantly on guard against betrayal, division, or absorption.
Now, James not only granted them a vast Genesis Region and abundant resources for cultivation, but
also was willing to impart the secrets of the Marciais Combat Form, without meddling in their sect
affairs.
Any one of these offerings alone would have earned their respect and loyalty.
They knew their initial choice was right with James’ current arrangements.
At least they had bet correctly.
“The Jademora Empire needs significant personnel adjustments.” James looked at Rebella and the
others.
At these words, all the powerhouses of the Jademora Empire were astonished.
“Rebella,” James suddenly called out.
Rebella was taken aback but promptly stepped forward.
“With the Courageous Tower in your hands, you are hereby appointed as the Left Grand Lord of the
Jademora Empire, entrusted with all affairs of the empire,” James declared with unwavering certainty.
The crowd erupted into murmurs as this pronouncement echoed.
Rebella’s promotion to Left Grand Lord of the Jademora Empire raised questions about Lyla’s fate.
They wondered if James truly did not allow Lyla to return.Rebella raised her head sharply.
“Master, I, this...” James glanced at her, not giving her a chance to continue speaking, as he started to
issue another command.
“Xatia as the Right Grand Lord, Yancy Quaid as the Great Protector, Xezal Dalibor as the Chancellor,
Taran Zach and Jurryt Haebril as the Left and Right Great Guardians.” James raised his head.
“Those mentioned are the top decision- making core of the Jademora Empire.
In times of indecision, Rebella will have the final say.” Adjustments were made indeed, and the people
present murmured as they heard James’ arrangements.
However, the six suddenly promoted individuals wore expressions of bewilderment.
They were unsure whether to accept or refuse.
One thing certain was James still had intentions to discipline them.
Despite Lyla’s management leading the Jademora Empire to prosperity, their narrow-mindedness and
pettiness had caused her so much grief, to the point of her resignation.
noveldramaYet, James capitalized on the situation without relenting.
It should be noted that this was indeed a formal appointment in front of so many people.
“As for the Commanders of the Forladtt Land’s first, second, and third layers...” James’ voice elongated
as he looked at the remaining Jademora Empire powerhouses.
“Hershya commands the third layer, Qairo commands the second layer, and Talvelai commands the
first layer.“As for the selection of personnel for the subordinate legions, that will be arranged and discussed
among yourselves.” James surveyed the crowd again.
“Everyone, the Solstice Alliance doesn’t interfere with the affairs of your sects or legions.
However, if conflicts arise between sects or legions and cannot be resolved, they shall be submitted to
the Leader for personal adjudication.
“At the same time, all sects must unconditionally accept the Leader's command in the event of an
external invasion or a major battle.
Here, I emphasize three points.
Obedience, absolute obedience, and unconditional absolute obedience.
Whoever dares to disobey, no matter who they are, will receive no mercy!” The Fifth Xaeclon Rank
aura permeated the scene with the final proclamation, causing everyone to tremble and kneel one after
another.
At this moment, James looked to Truett.
“Everyone, please go to the wing building and wait for the reunion wine.
I need to discuss some matters with your Leader and Great Protector.” Upon hearing this, everyone
exchanged glances and then hurriedly left with a solemn expression.
James’ sudden arrangement seemed reasonable, but they could not shake off the feeling that
something was amiss.
Yet, they could not quite put their finger on what exactly felt wrong.As the crowd dispersed, James approached Truett and Lucille.
Suddenly, a smile crossed his face.
“You've trapped me, James,” Truett said bitterly.
“You know I don’t like these matters...” “you’re Truett Sadler.” James smiled and patted his shoulder.
“The Young Master of Skynet, and the youngest standout under Tirta.
This is your destiny, not determined by your willingness.” Truett slapped his forehead.
“Alright, I'll listen to you, but this can’t go on forever.” “T’m asking you to stay back because I’ve
something to explain,” James said.
He waved his hand, and the Grimlore Map appeared in the void.
