CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 319: AFTER THE ATTACKS OF THE BIRDS 4

"I also asked Nichole if she had also stored a lot of energy in the vine that she has, but she said that she was indeed doing it.

However, most of the time, she could only put her excess energy into it when she had to sleep already.

She couldn’t spare a lot of her energy because she needed to continue using her ability to practice her control of the plants.

Nichole and the others said that it’s also not easy to train how to put their energy into those plants, so those in the army probably haven’t mastered it yet.

And even if they had already mastered it, they probably wouldn’t have enough stored energy to make those covers like what Ciel did."

Luciel had always been absorbing energy throughout his surroundings while doing something else, so he had always had a lot of plant energy.

There were also zombie crystals that had more energy in them, so Treyton knew that Luciel had stored a lot of his energy in the vines he had, and there were even more in their space.

If Nichole and the other plant users were as efficient as Luciel in absorbing energy, then they could probably store more energy into the plants that they have.

The capacity of each person is also different from others, so some could absorb and store more energy into their bodies while some would have less.

It was obvious that Luciel had more capacity and faster absorption than Nichole and the other plant users.

"By the way, he had used up a lot of the energy that he had been storing for the past few months, so be sure to give him compensation," Treyton added.

"Of course, we will give him rewards. He saved a lot of people in the base because of what he did, so he should also be rewarded. Just tell us later what else he wants, and we will try to give it to him," Grandpa Omar said.

"Ok. I’ll ask him later."

"Won’t he really join the military? He is strong and could lead a lot of soldiers to something more," Grandpa Omar said again with some regret.

"I already told you that Ciel doesn’t have any interest in joining the military at all. He’s not fond of fighting at all and prefers to just spend his time leisurely."

It seemed that his grandpa still had some thoughts about letting him and the others join the army after seeing how strong they were.

It was probably his habit acting up again, as he had always liked to recruit strong people into the army.

Unfortunately, he and the others didn’t want to go back to the army any longer.

They wanted to have freer control over the things they wanted to do, so they didn’t want to remain in the army at all.

He had left the army because he didn’t like someone controlling too much of his actions, and he still hated it, so he really didn’t want to go back to the army where they had to follow others’ orders about what they needed to do.

If they had joined the army, they surely wouldn’t have had the freedom to go to the places they wanted, just like what they did yesterday.

The soldiers had an important duty to protect the people in the base. Orders had to be followed properly in situations like yesterday, because if soldiers were free to go where they wanted and just save their families and friends, then no one would be left to protect the base properly.

It was the same with his uncles and the others. They couldn’t even leave because they had to command the soldiers so the base could be defended properly.

So, most soldiers certainly had places they wanted to go, but they couldn’t just leave, because if they did, their comrades would likely be endangered due to a lack of manpower.

So Treyton really didn’t want to go back to the army because he wanted the freedom to do what he wanted, and to save those he wanted to save on his own terms.

Of course, he would still help other people, but he would always prioritize his people over others.

His grandpa and the others certainly already knew his reasons, but Grandpa just couldn’t stop his habit of wanting to recruit strong people into the army.

"I know," Grandpa Omar said. "I just wanted him to join the army because he’s strong, and a lot of people were also very amazed by how strong he is, which would be good for the army if we had someone like that."

"Yes, every time I received a report, they would ask about the person who had such a great ability to construct the vines as protective covers in such a short time.

A lot of people also saw him fighting outside, so those people practically idolized Luciel," Uncle Wilder added.

"You guys didn’t say anything about him, did you?" Treyton asked.

"We didn’t stop them from spreading the news about what Luciel had done this time because it’s also good for the stability of the base," Uncle Jeremy replied.

"People are always looking for strong figures, so after knowing that there is such a strong person living in the base, they would be more at ease, especially after the sudden bird attack.

We just asked those who personally knew who Luciel was not to spread anything specific.

So, even though a lot of people are asking for details about him so they can thank him for saving their lives, no one has leaked his whereabouts.

Luciel doesn’t go out much, so it’ll probably take longer before everyone in the base knows that he’s with you."

"I see. It’s indeed okay to spread what Luciel did this time as long as no personal information about him spreads.

Ciel doesn’t like to be bothered, so if he were troubled by the very people he saved, he’d just think they were annoying."
