With Field Marshal Heatsend, herself, asking them to terminate their mission and head back the ten teams of elite demigods looked at each other wondering what their next course of action should be:

Should they leave, following the orders of Field Marshal?

Or

Should they insist on continuing with their mission?

However, one brave team leader reported, ”Madam Field Marshal, we were sent here because you were unreachable,” and after a quick pause he daringly enquired, ”May I ask what happened? Is Dalton Wyatt safe? Are the kids from the Southern Capital safe?”

Listening to him, other demigodsʼ faces turned dignified as they suddenly felt the pressure of the Field Marshalʼs divine intent on them increase significantly but they all held their ground and did not show any sign of retreat.

”Things here are of not your concern, report back to your posts or be prepared to be charged with insubordination and receive corporal punishment,” Field Marshal Heatsend threatened.

When the ten elite demigod teams arrived in the sky-blossom city air space, their presence was immediately sensed by Wyatt even without the Field Marshal having to report their arrival to him. The Field Marshal wasnʼt surprised by this, after all, in his current form Wyattʼs presence was stronger than any of the fifty elite demigods before her. The Field Marshal has many doubts about his strength that aside, it was Wyatt who asked her to get rid of the demigods sent to rescue the kids from the southern capital.

Listen to the Field Marshal threaten them with insubordination and corporal punishment instead of giving them an answer, the demigods did not get deterred but rather grew suspicious. After all, the reason they were sent here was because the Field Marshal wasnʼt answering or replying to any calls or texts.

Meanwhile, the in charge of the ten elite demigod teams immediately contacted the real response and rescue team as they were just the response and reconnaissance team, support for the real R&R team. The other team leader dared to enquire about the field Marshal because he was buying the demigod in charge enough time to report back to the R&R team and wait for their instructions. But they did not think the Field Marshal would respond so strongly, making them suspicious of her intentions.

Seeing that the ten elite demigod teams werenʼt showing any signs of retreat the Field Marshal sighed. Listening to her sigh the fifty demigods simultaneously summoned their grimoires and fanned out forming a battle array formation.

Seeing this, the Field Marshalʼs sigh grew longer, knowing things werenʼt going to be easy. She really did not want to hurt the people she personally trained and selected. As the Field Marshal she had the highest authority in Southern Watch after the Southern Ruler and the Southern Queen but seeing how they dared to ignore her orders, it was clear they were here on the orders of the Southern Queen as the Southern Ruler was busy at the Way beyond. But knowing her sister-in-law was just a puppet of her niece the Field Marshal figured Annaʼs mother was using Colleenʼs name to order the R&R team. Making things complicated.

”Do we have to do this? You guys should know in your heart that even with battle array formation you are no match for me,” The Field Marshal said giving the fifty Elite demigods a second chance to retreat.

”Madam Field Marshal, we never planned to defeat you. Since, we failed to gather information, at the least we can buy time for the R&R team to get here,” the demigod in charge informed.

”Fine, have it your way. I will wait for the R&R team with you guys,” The Field Marshal did not want to harm her own people, after all, they were just doing their job. As long as these guys did not disturb Wyatt she could tolerate their stubbornness.

Listening to the Field Marshal the fifty Elite demigods sighed in relief and the in-charge even went far as to thank her, ”Thank you, Madam Field Marshal.”

The Field Marshal shook her head seeing the exaggerated actions of the elite demigods. However, she was impressed that they were willing to stand against her and perform their duty properly. They were strong but not good enough to fight one of the top ten strongest in the world. Therefore, she was happy with their performance. She would have been disappointed in them if they had left with her warning and would have reconsidered them for the job.

”Madam Field Marshal, just out of pure curiosity is that unknown blood rule domain yours? I sense celestial force from it,” one of the team leaders asked the Field Marshal with her eyes filled with fanatic worship toward the Field Marshal.

”I hate to disappoint you but it doesnʼt belong to me,” the Field Marshal replied shaking her head, and then asked, ”Did you guys not receive any update from the kidsʼ parents? Seeing the dumb look on your faces I take it my niece did not inform you everything but just enough for the mission.”

”It is understandable. After all, we are the reconnaissance team. Her Highness might have wanted to cross-check the information she has with what we found before deploying the R&R team,” the elite demigod in charge of the teams hurriedly defended Annaʼs motherʼs action.

The demigod teams were already demoralized facing the Field Marshal, one of the top ten strongest card apprentices in the world, as their opponent, learning that the higher-ups sent them on a mission without proper information would only further demoralize them so he hurriedly acted to salvage what he can. After all, his mates were not dumb.

”Haha, nice save. As a reward, I will answer you. Yes, you are correct that the blood rule domain is indeed made using celestial force and it belongs to Wyatt,” the Field Marshal shared only the things that demigods had already guessed. Simply put, she was bragging about Wyatt.

When Wyatt used celestial force and blood rule in combination to invoke a domain, the Field Marshal was shocked to see Wyatt achieve something she had been trying to achieve for decades. There were records of ancient demigods being able to do this. Now that she had achieved the peak, the Field Marshal tried various things to improve her strength as being one of the top ten strongest did not satisfy her.

The Field Marshal tried to combine celestial force and rule energy to invoke a celestial rule domain mentioned in the ancient records but she had to start from scratch because she had no idea what it looked like nor had experienced it. Since all she had were ancient myths to help her the Field Marshal took many detours in her attempts to recreate the myth and never succeeded even after decades. Despite failing repeatedly the Field Marshal was not without gains as her mastery over the Celestial force borrowed from the worldʼs will increased significantly with every failure. So, imagine her surprise when Wyatt achieved it.

The Field Marshal had a lot of questions for Wyatt regarding the celestial rule domain but most of all she was jubilant that she did not trust the wrong person. It did not take long for her happiness to morph into pride. After all, she wasnʼt the only one who was attempting to recreate celestial rule domains from myth. Among the top ten strongest in the world, each one of them had tried to recreate the celestial rule domain at some point in their life, failed repeatedly, gave up, and moved on.

In a way, the celestial rule domain was more like an unrequited love of all the top strongest. Even though the Field Marshal herself did not recreate the myth she was proud that the person she gave her undying faith to was the one who recreated the myth. Therefore, she could not help but brag about Wyatt to the fifty elite demigods gathered.

”A blood rule domain made using celestial force, isnʼt that celestial rule domain?” An elite demigod blurted in shock. However, many demigods present did not seem to know what he was talking about. After all, the celestial rule domain was a myth that only those at the top knew of and pursued. It was more like an extra syllabus for the elite demigods. They still had a long way to go before worrying about recreating myths like the celestial rule domain.

”I am impressed you know about the celestial rule domain,” the Field Marshal looked at the demigod who blurted about the celestial rule domain and made a point of remembering those that showed understanding toward the Celestial Rule Domain. Since, they were researching about the celestial rule domain it showed that they had not given up having achieved elite demigods rank and desired more. The Field Marshal who liked to encourage talents did not think twice before adding them to her lost of potential investment.

”Huh, isnʼt this too peaceful? I thought we were here to fight the Field Marshal!”
