The legendary warrior

Chapter 109 The Name of ‘Misty South’

"How was it? Now it's time to keep your promise, Master!" Ricky grinned.

"It seems you've revealed your true casting ability!" Grace replied.

"I had to. You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs," said Ricky, chuckling. "Moreover, I didn't lose anything because of that. It was just a little bit of my method that I taught Olivia."

"Well, I just hope you won't be quickly surpassed by your disciple," said Grace, raising an eyebrow.

.....

The subsequent days saw Ricky and Edgar continue their recruitment for members among the outer disciples.

As for the inner disciples, they wouldn't approach them yet. After all, it would be a difficult task as they didn't know any of them and their natures and personalities in the least.

Their rules and principles about recruiting members were that they would have to always primarily consider their nature and personality.

Vivian, an old friend of Ricky, joined in without hesitation. In addition to Vivian, they also found ten more members, all of whom had been bullied by the Refinement and Casting Faction and also worshiped Ricky.

While Ricky and Edgar were recruiting members, the news that Ricky was planning to found a faction had now spread to most of the Snow Sect, like a tornado that travelled with the fastest winds.

The members of the Refinement and Casting Faction laughed their heads off when they heard that.

As expected, they also remarked unkindly that as long as Ricky pushed for the establishment of his faction, they would definitely cause him some grief.

....

"This continent is called the Misty South, so I'd like to call our faction the 'Misty South Faction.' I hope one day, everyone will know the name of our faction as THE FACTION of this continent!" Ricky said, his eyes shining with aspiration.

And so it came to be that the 'Misty South Faction' was born.

Edgar, Grace and the others had no objection to this. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Besides, they didn't know the true meaning of this 'Misty South' in Ricky's mind. If they had, they would think he was out of his mind.

He wanted his faction to be famous in the whole continent? He should be elatedly satisfied if it could just survive in the Snow Land!

......

Soon enough, Ricky stood in the main square of the Snow Sect and announced that the Misty South Faction was officially established.

Ricky, Edgar, Heather, and the other members who had joined them were standing on the arena. They wanted nothing but to tell disciples of the Snow Sect that Misty South Faction was officially established today.

There was a sea of people in the square, again gathering to witness this controversial warrior's pronouncements.

"I don't know how Ricky can be so confident. How could he have the nerve to found a faction with very few people?" Some of the outer disciples shook their heads, thinking that he was more foolish than he had previously seemed.

When the other factions had been officially established- the Refinement Faction, Casting Faction, and Amber Faction- they had already gathered hundreds of outer disciples and many strong inner disciples. This so-called Misty South Faction looked so weak, its numbers paltry.

"You'll see, the people of the Refinement and Casting Faction are about to make a mess."

......

Suddenly, a large group of people came from the east. They were the members of the Casting Faction. There were over two hundred people, headed by Gennadi who ranked top one among the inner disciples, Clyde who ranked fourth and Roger who ranked ninth.

The Casting Faction, led by three of the top ten inner disciples, had numerous powerful inner and outer disciples.

Then, another group of people came from the west, boasting a crowd that exceeded that of the Casting Faction. It was, of course, the Refinement Faction, who were led by another three of the top ten inner disciples.

Marching were Wyn, who ranked second among the inner disciples, Hector who ranked sixth and Julius who ranked tenth.

"Look, people of the Amber Faction are here."

The other group marched forth, the people of the Amber Faction, goddess of all the disciples. This group was led by Amelia, who ranked third and Bertha who ranked fifth.

"Now the top three factions are all here! And the Refinement Faction and Casting Faction came with bad intentions. If those are all the people that Ricky's faction has, I'm afraid that their faction will only live to see one day of existence!"

Chaos arose as heated discussions commenced.

And while seeing this... Those ten outer disciples that Ricky and Edgar recruited began to shiver. However, they of course already pictured this before they agreed to join, so they steadied their nerves and tried to calm down immediately.

When the leaders of those three factions met, they greeted each other warmly.

Then they looked at Ricky.

"well, greetings! Since you are all here, please exercise a vote. After all, according to the rules, I need the approval of your factions in order to go through with establishing my faction or not!"

Ricky took initiative, speaking confidently without a trace of nervousness. He looked directly at the top eight inner disciples.

"We shall begin!" Amelia stepped out and said with her clear voice ringing in the air, "We, the Amber Faction, have agreed to the establishment of the Misty South Faction."

"I didn't expect the Amber Faction would agree to it!" some of the disciples murmured, quite surprised to hear this from Amelia.

"It's fine. Amber Faction has never been involved in the fights of factions. Whether the Misty South Faction exists or not doesn't matter much to them."

However, what would surprise everyone was what Amelia was going to say.

"We have decided to support the Misty South Faction. And from now on, we formally declare that we will ally with them!"

"What! What!? How could it be?" Amelia's words had an effect that was similar to a bomb exploding in the Snow Sect. The square was resounded with shock.

Gennadi, Wyn and the others were also dumbfounded.

They could totally understand that the Amber Faction would support the establishment of the Misty South Faction. But since they announced their decision to become allies with them, it would mean that their faction would now publicly be against them.

Ricky, too, was in shock. This was an unexpected pronouncement that he had not been informed of.

Immediately, Ricky turned to look at Bertha.

However, Bertha shook her head, her eyes darting to Amelia. Obviously, it had all been Amelia's idea.

Ricky understood, his heart beating like a drum.

"What is Amelia doing? Does she really want to ally with me? Why!?" Ricky was confused and a stream of questions ran through his head, but he could not ask her just yet.

Although Amelia had personally invited him to join the Amber Faction and also appreciated him from the start. At this point, she was in no way obligated to help him.

"Amelia, please reconsider carefully before you make up your mind!" Gennadi and Wyn said at the same time. They were putting pressure on her, alarmed at the shift in power dynamics that was now taking place.

"What makes you think I haven't thought this through?" Amelia said sweetly, smiling softly.

This meant that Amelia no longer cared about them. She looked at Ricky with her beautiful eyes and smiled. "Ricky, I've shown you where I stand. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Of course, I'm honored, Amelia. From now on, I'll do anything to support the Amber Faction! We are allies!" Ricky laughed.

"That's exactly what I want to hear, Ricky!" Amelia laughed as well, her shining eyes filled with joy.

"Don't you celebrate too soon!" Gennadi and Wyn said again, "Because we don't agree with the establishment of the Misty South Faction!" They stood tall and looming, trying to intimidate Ricky.
