"As an imperial knight, you are allowed to create your own forces and have any clan of choice submit at least thirty percent of their military force but I see you have no intentions of creating a force of outsiders… Am I correct?" Emperor Fei said with a raised eyebrow and Lucien nodded in agreement.
He may be an imperial knight and a viscount now but many didn't care. In their opinion, Lucien I still a fourteen year old who got lucky and now acts like a big shot. In this chaotic era that is about to begin, Lucien didn't bother with strength, all he wished for is loyalty. That's why he would rather have an army of fifty that he can trust than a hundred thousand forces that may stab him in the back at a critical moment.
"Yes… I intend to expand my territory and circle… I wish to recruit some young, promising youths to join my side and my main force, for now, will consist of spirit beast cultivators…" Lucien answered honestly, with his head bowed.
