Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Ignoring my brief moment of happiness, Phillip shouted to the rest of the leaders

"Department heads. Please present your reports."

One by one they began to explain what they were doing. It was a lot to take in, to be honest. I didn't even know that my group already had so many departments. Weren't Cynthia or Bella supposed to manage this shit?

"My Lord! The ten graves are jacked by the kitchen and ready to roll! Leave the looting and the sales to us!" Cynthia cheered.

No wonder this girl was screaming at the top of her lungs. It must be the effect of {Comfort food}. But which kitchen was she talking about? Had Aki already formed Inari's Kitchen?

Eva and Adam Baker came forward as she grinned.

"Yo boy! I am not part of Infinity yet, but my boys and girls are part of Inari's Kitchen. We have enough food to feed your troops for at least a month. We can't let your ass die tomorrow, can we?"

I wonder if these poor fools knew what was in store for them. If they thought that being a part of Inari's kitchen meant just being cooks, they were sorely mistaken. Aki had already mentioned that she planned to train these bastards severely.

Joshua, flanked by Mike and Warren, spoke next. While the Asian had a serious face, the other two had goofy smiles.

"The Infinity army has incorporated the new troops as directed by Lady Satis. We looked for people with military or law enforcement experience. Accompanied by two Wolves from the 3rd Squad, the members of the 2nd Squad are now serving as squad leaders. My Lord. We now have 7 10-man squads ready for battle."

What the fuck? When did we get so many people? All three of my men now had Phantom soul signatures. Liv's threats seemed to have borne fruit. But Jasmine didn't share that she was the one who gave the plans to expand the army.

Still, I was apprehensive. Wouldn't it be dangerous to have so many new people? I didn't trust them easily. Could the other troops operate without {Reload}? What if they betrayed us?

Wilfred, one of my two new clerks, announced as he gestured to a large group of reapers further away.

"My lord. Tildi and I have posted short quests for Adventurer parties. We will have no problem going more than 10 zones at a time. Many even wish to sign long-term contracts or join Infinity as permanent Adventurers. As instructed by Lady Ishtar, we have yet to respond to them."

Hmm. That was expected. Lilly knew the disadvantages of taking on too many people too quickly. Besides the mercenaries, the adventurers were the only able-bodied force. But they could also be loose cannons or spies planted by others.

"Also, my lord, as Lady Rhiannon pointed out, everyone who joined Infinity was forced to take a Seeker's Vow of Loyalty. If they were to break this vow, they would have to surrender their bodies to be transformed into soulgear. Only then were they granted {Rewind}, {Reload}, or {Regen}," Tildi continued.

'Ah, so that is why.'

A seeker's vow was essentially a slave contract. Should a reaper break his vow. The rules of the vow allowed the one who made it to take compensation as stipulated.

The rules Robyn proposed were simple. Work for us and earn souls. If you betray us, we will take your life and your {Fate} instead.

'How heartless. I like it,' I thought with a smile.

Terence Anvil, the head of the Strongmen, stepped forward, unaware of my inner evil machinations.

"My lord! Lady Freyja has ordered us to join the troops as shielders. Commander Joshua has already divided us into groups. Our other mission is to prepare the future zones of Infinity for defense. If you grant us the new material, we will ensure that your strongholds will never fall!

How fitting. Liv, who knew what it felt like to have her battlefront breached, was concerned about our defenses. This was before we even had zones.

I was sure that even if I neglected our defenses, my northerner would make sure that my zones were as hard as steel.

Then a man with glasses and baggy clothes stepped forward and handed me a clipboard.

"My lord, as for my report. Here are the latest records of all available zones, ranked by strength and potential spoils. Minerva's Wizards will also be deployed along with the mercenaries to serve as communication officers. Leave the intelligence gathering to us."

I looked at the clipboard and saw a digital screen like a tablet.

'Ho? These bastards already had {Code}? '

Bella probably plans to use them for combat and data analysis. I had never been to war, but I knew how important information was in battle.

This was something I experienced personally, as fighting a Dirge Siren blind as opposed to having Aira with me was like night and day. With the Sirens and {Perspective} and {Portal}, along with the Wizards, coordination between the groups would lead to the best outcome.

Finally, Yvonne and Aisha stepped forward, wearing black uniforms with a wolf emblem on their shoulders.

"Patron. As commanded by Lady Vela, I have shared {Rewind} with the saints who wish to join Vela's wolves. To prove their worth, they have worked without rest. Over two thousand rounds of various calibers as Sacreds have been added to our ammunition stores."

Two thousand rounds? How on earth did they do that? Or rather, was the entire Sacred Division involved? Hadn't Vela's wolves just been created yesterday? How could they even get the souls to rewind so many times?

2000 Sacreds for sixty saints would be thirty-three rewinds. Who allowed the saints to even dare to try to rewind that many times?

"Patron, the saints do indeed have {Rewind}. But the majority of the Sacreds have been manufactured because of the {Comfort Food} from Inari's kitchen," Aisha, the girl with the glasses, added.

Oh? So there was a synergy between the Saint Division and Inari's Kitchen. As long as the Saints were desperate enough, they could gorge themselves on monster meat skewers and continue to bless without stopping.

When Jo turned it into a test, the Saints all tried their hardest to join Vela's wolves. But isn't it too fast? The wolves fought zombies. Why were they so eager to join?

Yvonne, who must have understood my confusion, looked me dead in the eye as she interjected excitedly.

"Patron, the Sirens just slay! No cap! Lady Minerva recorded our beatdown of our opps and gave it to Lady V! Like, the Saints were mostly NPCs, right? I used to just let them cook, but Lady V is THE GOAT PERIODT!"

Ah yes, without Yvonne's rambling nonsense, which I could not understand, it would not be the same.

"She showed it to them and said 'Get up and fight.' They saw our glow-up and knew we were not just being extra. They all ate Lady V's words and turned into Vela Stans! Now they all follow her and understood the assignment," The blonde head saint chattered.

Aisha sighed while she translated.

"Patron, Lady Vela showed the entire Saint Division how the Vela wolves were created. Many felt saved by Lady Vela's words. When she used the Sacreds as a measure of everyone's resolve. The Saint Division as a whole went above and beyond what anyone expected."
