The Legend of the Cultivation World

A bodyguard?

The distribution of gifts from several sponsors has been completed. Arya was now in a room located in one of the military headquarters with the higher-ups, to discuss the task that would be given to her.

"As part of the 7-Color Flag General, you certainly need your own headquarters to form your army. Now I'll give you the choice of a city for you to lead and make headquarters."

Datu Mahendra presented several documents containing information about several cities in the Brawijaya Kingdom to Arya for selection.

Arya picked up some documents then started studying them one by one. Eventually, he found a city that interested him.

"I chose the City of Madya..." Arya said while handing over the documents regarding Kota Madya on Datu Mahendra's desk.

Hearing the choice from Arya about the city that wants to be imipin and used as the headquarters of the Black Flag troops, suddenly made Datu Mahendra and 6 Generals who were in the neighborhood was shocked.

"Are you sure you chose the City of Madya to imipin? There are still 35 better cities than that, Arya." Ask Datu Mahendra who is not out of thought with Arya's choice.

Madya City itself is famous by its nickname as the City of the Dead. Not because the city was not inhabited, precisely the City of Madya has a large population.

Alsan why Madya City is dubbed as Dead City because the city is a dumping ground for disabled people in the sense that it has abnormalities on the basis of cultivation.

The city of Madya is also a dumping ground for people who are considered incapable in terms of the economy of various cities.

People from the upper middle class will not be willing to set foot in the city with high poverty and underdeveloped.

Even the City of Madya was considered a very dangerous city because of its location adjacent to the Demon Forest. There have been many instances where Demon Beasts from the forest attacked Madya City and inflicted countless casualties.

Indirectly the City of Madya is a place to slowly annihilate people who are considered useless by the Kingdom.

There were only a few soldiers standing guard there. Surely those soldiers were on guard in the sense of watching over the residents of Madya City from getting out of there.

"Yes, Sir! I'm confident in the decision I've made, and I want to put the Black Flag there!" Arya uttered without the slightest hesitation.

Several senior Generals tried to remind and try to make Arya make another decision. Since Arya was now part of the 7 Color Flag General, the other Generals did not want their names dirty, just because one of their members led a shantytown in the corners of the Kingdom.

But Arya's decision was already unanimous and the military higher-ups could only sigh in the face of the young man's fiery desire.

"alright... If that's your decision what to do." Datu Mahendra then gave documents to Arya which he had given the Supreme Commander stamp.

Arya happily accepts the document and stores it in a dimensional ring.

"Then, when do you want to recruit an army to fill a place into the Black Flag?" Ask Datu Mahendra who is a little curious about the criteria of the team that Arya wants to choose.

Secretly three young soldiers eavesdropped on the talk of the top military brass. They were none other than Raka, Angga, and Satria who were curious about the conversation that was going on inside.

But upon hearing the talk of the formation of the Black Flag army. Raka, Angga, and Satria become increasingly curious and even hope to join the Black Flag army under Aryan leadership.

Upon hearing Datu Mahendra advise Arya to recruit them, Raka, Angga, Satria gets excited and is convinced they can join.

But upon seeing Arya shake her head from the crack of the door. The hopes of Raka, Angga, and Satria that were already as high as clouds instantly collapsed.

"Sorry sir, but I must reject the proposal to elect the three men. That place would be very dangerous for them, let alone considering that the three of them were extremely important Young Lords to their families."

Arya's words immediately made Datu Mahendra pay close attention to her. Indirectly Arya has given him a warning if not to lose one of her sons again.

Placing Satria into Madya City for now is not the right choice according to Datu Mahendra. Moreover, placing two other Young Masters who came from quite influential families in the Kingdom. It would be very risky to put the three of them in such a dangerous place.

Datu Mahendra then gave up on proposing his son and the two Young Lords joined Arya. He did not want any friction within the internal Kingdom, just because two Young Masters from influential families were injured and even killed while running errands in Madya City.

"Who will you choose?" Datu Mahendra asked while massaging his forehead as he almost made the wrong decision putting Satria, Raka, and Angga to join Arya.

Arya smiled faintly and a strange request was thrown from her mouth. "If allowed, I would like to select some prisoners who are in the dungeon."

"Are you sure? Every prisoner in their cultivation base has been destroyed. Even if you pick a few of them, they won't be very useful." Datu Mahendra then reminded that there is not a single Physician in the entire Nusantara land that can repair the Meridian that has been destroyed.

Arya just nodded and had to force Datu Mahendra to give permission to the young man to choose some prisoners.

As Arya was talking to Datu Mahendra and the other Generals, someone knocked on the door and then some people came inside.

Seeing who the person who came made Arya surprised. They are none other than Maharani, Arista, Anjani, Dierja, and one mysterious person wearing a robe.

"Can we talk to you for a second, Commander?" Tanya Anjani who made the 6 Generals understand and decided to step back to duty.

When Arya wants to come out suddenly she is stopped by Anjani who tells her to stay because there are important things to be discussed.

"What do you want to talk to me about, Mrs Anjani?" Datu Mahendra asked politely as Anjani was the Wife of the late Crown Prince.

Datu Mahendra and Anjani then begin their talk about prisoners of war from the Kingdom of Angasari who is none other than Princess Amanda.

Anjani began to tell about Princess Amanda's condition which worsened when she was in the Royal Capital of Brawijaya.

If until Princess Amanda was killed while a prisoner of war, then it is certain that the Kingdom of Angasari which is currently holding back will directly attack the Kingdom of Brawijaya.

"I want the young man to watch Princess Amanda in a place other than the Capital." Said Anjani while glancing towards Arya who from earlier tried not to get involved.
