The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 7141
James gestured, summoning a projection before the assembled group. The Marauder Warriors emerged, draped in dark crimson armor, each meticulously arranged in a formation.
Banners soared high, announcing their presence with a silent proclamation. Their aura emanated formidable military prowess, casting a shadow upon all who beheld them.
Dorvus and the gods of the Four Seasons stood in the forefront of the imposing army, their presence commanding respect.
Witnessing this spectacle, Mantian furrowed his brow and asked, "That's Xanthakos’ Marauder Army. Are they plotting an assault on the Wyrmscale Source?"
James folded his hand behind his back and answered, "No. They answer to my command now."
At his declaration, a collective gasp swept through the divine assembly.
Taichu looked at James in disbelief and asked, "Did...did you submit to Xanthakos?"

James stared at her and questioned, "Submit? What do you think, Ms. Taichu?”
Marius scoffed at Taichu’s question, "Absurd! Xanthakos isn't even fit to be my master's underling! How could he have submitted to him?"
Taichu asked, puzzled, "Then, are you working with him? Xanthakos is a notoriously cunning-"
James interjected, "Enough! Spiritual Saints!"
"Present!" The Spiritual Saints responded in unison, their hands clasped in reverence.
James commanded, "Mobilize Wyrmscale Source's forces and assemble seven legions. Each of you will be the commander of a legion. Only gather powerhouses that are at the Spiritual Sage and above. Anything below shouldn’t be considered"
The Spiritual Saints exchanged hesitant glances, wrestling with their concerns.
James said firmly, "The rules of the past do not bind me. I'm not Xanthakos or Goyo. You are allowed to voice your concerns and objections. I welcome debate and disagreement. I will not punish anyone even if it results in fierce arguments or fighting."
The Spiritual Saints bowed in response.
Seraphine stepped forward and said, "Since you've allowed it, I will give you my honest opinion."
James responded, "Go on."
Seraphine said, "The Spiritual Sage Rank is equivalent to the Soma Daeclon Rank. I'm afraid that might be too high of a requirement."
The Mountain Saint, Kronos, chimed in, "Yeah. Selecting troops based on this criterion will significantly lower our manpower."
The Water Saint, Marlowe, added, "Those at the Spiritual Sovereign Rank are considerably strong. They should be able to fight against the Five Path Emperors' armies."
