Chapter 726: Sword Sage
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"Hahahaha..." Watching this scene, Berusken couldn't help but laugh, which reverberated around the entire Stars and Moons Castle, "Samaranth, you must not have imagined today when you forced me into Demon Snake Island. I will kill all your male family members and turn all your female family members into my sex slaves..."
At this moment, hundreds of underprivileged family members of Samaranth were wailing mournfully in the palace. Outside the palace, there were over 200 people of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School who were defending the last defense line with long swords while being covered with blood...
In the eyes of Berusken, those people defending outside the palace were nothing but sh*t because the only LV 13 battle general in the Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School, the most talented son of Samaranth and the head of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School in Stars and Moons Island at this moment, had been killed by him just now. After that LV 13 battle general, a LV 11 powerhouse in the Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School was also killed, the highest level among the remains was only LV 9 now.
These disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School whose highest level was LV 9 couldn't even release off-body battle-qi attack, not to mention sword qi. Even though they had about 200 people, they were nothing but ants in front of a LV 15 battle spirit. Berusken felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction from the scared looks of the struggling disciples of Stars and Moon Swordsmanship School.
At this moment, Berusken felt that he should not have killed Samaranth's son so fast. If that person was still alive, there might be more good plays.
'At this moment, although Samaranth could not see it, it was also not bad to be watched by his son.'
Berusken didn't know that Zhang Tie had already landed in Stars and Moons Island. A battle spirit's sense towards knights could never match that of a knight. Additionally, Zhang Tie purposely hid his qi. Even a knight wouldn't know that Zhang Tie had arrived, not to mention a battle spirit...
"I only want to revenge Samaranth and his family members. I know not all of you are Samaranth's offsprings. As for disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School, I know you were just forced to fight us just now, neither did I spare any chance to you..." Berusken watched those disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School who were defending the palace while a weird light flashed across his only eye, "However, as the battle situation has been clear, I will spare a chance to you. As long as anyone being not related to Samaranth's family members could kill a family member of Samaranth or a disciple of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School in front of me, I would let him leave out of here safe and sound; otherwise, you could only stay here to accompany with Samaranth family members' corpses!"
After hearing Berusken's suggestion, many disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School changed their faces while their eyes flickered a couple of times...
"Don't listen to him. He's already killed so many people today. No matter what, he would never let us go. We'd better fight to the death than be teased by him!" A disciple of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School exclaimed.
"This is your last chance. When I begin, you will have no time to regret. Do you really wish to fight to the death for Samaranth's family members?" Berusken continued to bewitch them.
"This guy not only wants to kill us; he even wants to destroy the reputation of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School, don't believe him!" The disciple roared once again.
At this moment, Berusken revealed a faint sneer, 'That guy is right. He wants to destroy Samaranth's family together with his Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School. As long as the message that the disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School killed Samaranth's family members at the critical moment was disseminated to the public, there would be no Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School in Ewentra Archipelago any longer as the only honor and influence that Samaranth left in the human world would turn into bullsh*t by then.
All the smart ones understood it. So what? At this critical moment, what was tested was not humans' intelligence but humanity.
Watching Berusken's sneer, before that disciple said anything more, a shiny sword had penetrated through his chest from his back. Closely after that, a figure jumped out of the crowd at an extremely high speed and moved to Berusken's side.
"Othello, what are you doing?" Many disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School roared.
"I will kill you!" Another disciple of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School jumped out as he rushed towards Othello who was running towards Berusken. At the sight of this, Berusken frowned as he released an off-body battle qi towards the latter disciple who was over 20 m away, causing him to spurt out blood and fly backward.
In the chaos, some more muffled sounds drifted from those disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School as they were pierced through by those on their sides. Closely after that, some more disciples moved to the side of Berusken...
In the blink of an eye, the remnants of disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School which was as firm as a Great Wall was collapsed. All the remaining disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School hurriedly jumped off as they watched those on their sides full of vigilance.
Berusken burst out into laughter...
"Anthony, what's that for...you said...you would love me forever..." A female disciple sobbed when she saw a male disciple killing another one, running to the side of Berusken and trembling with a sword in hand.
"Ruili, I love you. However, I don't want to be killed together with your Samaranth Clan. Your clan is already over..." That man said mercilessly and decisively.
...
"Even if Samaranth Clan was over, at least it had its glory before. However, even if you became a knight, you'd still be as dirty as a worm!" Another voice drifted from Berusken's back. Everybody became stunned. Even Berusken turned around.
They saw a 20-odd-man slowly walking towards them.
Of course, that man was Zhang Tie.
Actually, Zhang Tie had arrived a few minutes ago. He just watched quietly on one side as he wanted to see what these disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School would choose.
Zhang Tie knew it was about humanity. Although Zhang Tie had witnessed thousands of dirtiest and ugliest corpses, he had not seen the dirtiest humanity. Therefore, he just wanted to see what would happen out of his curiosity.
Zhang Tie felt that he had to appreciate Berusken, because of whom, he learned something new about humanity.
Zhang Tie knew that Berusken would definitely do more evil and pervert things in front of him if he just waited here. However, he was afraid that the entire Samaranth family would be cleaned and the bloodline of Stars and Moons Sword Sage would be broken off by then. When he recalled how relaxed Samaranth was when he killed the huge deep-sea monster for the sake of all the passengers of the steamer Polar Light, Zhang Tie let out a sigh inside before walking forward to stop this tragedy...
He did this out of his respect to Stars and Moons Sword Sage.
"Who are you?" Berusken's pupils contracted, releasing a great danger. Strangely, he didn't sense any aggressive qi from Zhang Tie. Given his qi, Zhang Tie was just a commoner.
"My name is Peter, Peter Hamplester!" Zhang Tie said frankly.
Although Zhang Tie's voice was not loud, his name Peter Hamplester was like a dull thunder.
Peter Hamplester, the king of Ice and Snow Wilderness, this name had been spread across Ice and Snow Wilderness over the past 5 years. All sorts of legends about this name and his marvelous manifestation and brilliance had been spread across Ewentra Archipelago.
As Zhang Tie said this, he stomped onto the ground with his battle qi, causing a long sword of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School to spring up and fall into his hand.
Zhang Tie raised the sword as high as his eyebrows...
In a split second, Zhang Tie's eyes turned as sharp as a lightning bolt while a terrifying sword qi went up into the sky like a battle-qi totem.
After promoting to a knight, if one had reached a high level in swordsmanship, the knight would not release his battle-qi totem when using his long sword, but sharp sword qi——This is sword sage!
Having awakened the sword affinity bloodline and spent much time in cultivating swordsmanship, Zhang Tie had long become a sword sage after promoting to a knight in the tower of time.
The sword qi sprayed over and covered the entire mountain top...
Berusken felt goosepumps all over. With a roar, he threw some disciples who had already stood on his side towards Zhang Tie before turning around, intending to escape...
Although it was already late morning, they suddenly felt dark all over. It seemed that night arrived at once while a full moon and a crescent rose in the dark at the same time...
Berusken moved fast; however, he was not as fast as the moons in the dark. When the full moon and the crescent rose up, the tender moonlights had already cast onto him while his protective battle qi started to crack heavily like frying beans...
Time flew past.
It could not be described as a swordsmanship, but as a scenery between heavens and ground, ebb and flow and waxing and waning...
The crescent and the full moon changed their shapes in opposite directions. The crescent gradually turned into full moon while the full moon slowly turned into a crescent. When the full moon changed into its original crescent look, the crescent also recovered its original full shape. After one cycle, the moons and the darkness disappeared at the same time while the Stars and Moons recovered their original looks too.
All the guys from Demon Snake Island and those rebellious disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School stood still in strange gestures like being applied with a magic...
The other disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School just watched all this with widely opened eyes, 'What happened? Was that an illusion? Why did we see moons just now? Why did these people stand still?'
As the wind blew over, all those [standing still] were blown away by the wind one bit after another, flying into the air without leaving any trace in the air...
Berusken's body started to collapse like flour while his head seemed to have disappeared together with Peter...
Only after 5-10 minutes, everything came to an end.
Everybody in Stars and Moons Castle felt like dreaming.
...
In the open waters of Stars and Moons Island, Zhang Tie was standing still in the void with his eyes closed while grabbing Berusken's fresh head by his hand, eyelashes quivering.
Berusken's memory was withdrawn by Zhang Tie as fast as a lightning bolt. LV 15 battle spirit was the highest level that the "soul capture skill" could work on.
After a long while, Zhang Tie opened his eyes while a bizarre light flashed across his eyes. He then slightly frowned.
After the head was thrown into the ocean, it attracted some sharks at once. Zhang Tie felt bored of watching sharks eating food.
After recognizing the direction, Zhang Tie straightly flew towards Saint Herner Island...
Chapter 727: A Hitchhike
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
When the 50,000-ton ship Narwhal from Sinaira Island to Saint Herner Island was only about 200 nautical miles away from Saint Herner Island, a guest landed on a small observation stand of the highest deck quietly.
The sea wind at dawn was a bit cold, especially on the highest observation stand of Narwhal. Therefore, besides noontime and afternoon when some travelers would enjoy the seascape over there, nobody was there in the evening and in the morning.
Except for Zhang Tie.
Given the direction, Zhang Tie knew that it was heading for Saint Herner Island. Additionally, as this place was not far from Saint Herner Island, Zhang Tie directly landed onto the free passenger liner.
Narwhal was a luxury liner. The snowwhite lacquer, the rows of tidy huge portholes, the long body, the three multi-functional swimming pools of different sizes on the ship and the lounge chairs and sunshades on the three decks indicated the high ticket price and the economic power of passengers.
Zhang Tie had traveled by sea many times. He knew that common passenger liner would never have swimming pools.
There was truly a heavy wind on the highest observation stand. The moment Zhang Tie landed on and put away his battle qi, his hair had been a mess.
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he walked towards the stairs on his side.
The moment he arrived at the stairway had he seen a young sailor thudding upstairs with a bucket and a towel while water was dilapidating inside. They almost collided with each other.
"Ahh, sorry, sir..." The sailor hurriedly moved to the left of the stairs at the sight of Zhang Tie, giving way to Zhang Tie as he kept apologizing to Zhang Tie.
"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he walked downstairs.
Until Zhang Tie reached the bottom of the stairs had the sailor become dubious as he scratched his head and murmured, "Strange, the director said he saw nobody here just now; therefore, he called me upstairs to clean the handrails of the observing stand. Didn't the director see this man?"
Of course, the young sailor would not report it to the director as he didn't want to find trouble. After shaking his head, he didn't care about it anymore.
After walking off the observation stand, Zhang Tie saw the schematic diagram of this luxury liner on the wall of the aisle. As it was a large ship, for the convenience of the passengers, many places on this ship were marked with its diagram.
This passenger liner was matched with dining rooms, bars, theaters, gambling houses, gyms and beauty parlors. After reading the diagram, Zhang Tie knew it was called Narwhal. After finding the location of the bar, Zhang Tie walked towards it.
The bars and entertainment facilities in this luxury liner were available around the clock.
The aisle was paved with a bright yellow carpet. Even the deck was paved with a comfortable wooden floor. As it was early morning, most of the passengers had just gotten up. Gradually, the ship became boisterous. He met many passengers on the ship, given whose dresses and styles of conversation, Zhang Tie knew they were rich people.
"My Barbie and Boddey need to walk half an hour a day. Attention, don't take them to high places in case they catch cold. Just walk them on the lowest deck. After that, you need to prepare a medium-cooked steak fried with olive oil; no spice. Prepare a fried salmon; remember to remove its bones; daub some cherry jam from Kolin Island onto the fish. After they finish their food, remember to massage them for 20 minutes!"
"Alright, what else can I do for you, Madam Martina?"
"Hmm, nothing else for the time being!"
At this time, a hatch door in front of Zhang Tie opened when a 50-odd servant in formal dress and white gloves waited outside the door. Closely after that, he pulled out two big dogs. At the sight of Zhang Tie, he hurriedly dragged the dogs to one side. Zhang Tie threw a glance at the two dogs. Closely after that, the dogs moved to the left side of the aisle kindly, giving way to Zhang Tie.
...
Zhang Tie came to the bar on the 2nd floor. Although the bar was still running, it only had few guests.
Only two groups of guests were in the bar. Some gentlemen were sitting around one table while a young couple was sitting at the other table who were leaning against each other, watching the seascape through the window and whispering something.
A girl in longuette was playing piano in the bar. As a result, the entire bar was filled with a melodious piano music. A beautiful female bartender was wiping glasses behind the counter while a beautiful waitress in an alluring kilt was greeting guests. Those men were attracted by her beautiful legs.
As soon as Zhang Tie sat on a relatively remote seat next to a window, the beautiful waitress walked towards here while twisting her waist. The waitress released a youthful enthusiasm which could fascinate any men.
"Sir, what do you want to drink?"
"Whatever!"
"Hmm, are you new here?"
"Yup!"
"How about a glass of seabuckthorn wine?"
"Fine!"
Before the waitress left while twisting her waist, she couldn't help but throw a couple of glances at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie touched his face. Actually, he had not seen his new look; however, he knew it should be maturer than his original look. 'Based on the template provided by Heller, this new look should not be too ugly.'
After a short while, the beautiful waitress served a glass of wine to Zhang Tie. The moment he sipped it, he identified the familiar taste——mutated seabuckthorn fruit, a species that was produced in Castle of Black Iron.
"Hmm, this wine tastes nice. Did you get it from Ice and Snow Wilderness?" Zhang Tie asked the waitress with a smile.
"Yes!"
"The seabuckthorn wine in the Ice and Snow Wilderness didn't taste so good before!"
"Yes. Previously, very few seabuckthorn wines in Ice and Snow Wilderness were sold to Ewentra Archipelago. However, a new seabuckthorn tree appeared in Ice and Snow Wilderness a few years ago. The wine brewed by the new seabuckthorn fruits tastes much better than that before. Therefore, it is even sold to Ewentra Archipelago!" The waitress explained passionately as she fondled her hair in a womanly way. From her eyes, Zhang Tie saw a familiar thing, which had nothing to do with wealth and reputation, but full of feminine charm.
"Oh, thank you!" Zhang Tie smiled as he raised his glass, "May I invite you for a drink as a part of my thanks?"
"Not now. We're not allowed to drink in working time!" The waitress shook her head as she added, "But I will be off duty in half an hour. Someone will replace me then. Will your invitation still be effective after half an hour?"
"Of course!"
The waitress smiled.
At this moment, some new guests entered. The waitress then walked towards them before ogling towards Zhang Tie.
Of course, the new seabuckthorn fruit was different than those before. The new ones were bigger and sweeter with some aura values. The wine brewed by such new fruits would definitely taste much better than those before. As he tasted the wine, Zhang Tie was thinking, 'Now that this buckthorn wine has been exported to Ewentra Archipelago from Ice and Snow Wilderness, the new seabuckthorn trees must have been planted in a large area of Ice and Snow Wilderness; those residents in Ice and Snow Wilderness must have a greater reliance on the new seabuckthorn trees. My dream is gradually coming true.'
'Additionally, I've left No. 1 earthworms and No. 1 soybeans in Ice and Snow Wilderness. During the past 5 years, they should have expanded.'
'Besides blades, there is another mild way to conquer others——reliance!'
'If you rely on something, you will be conquered by it.'
Zhang Tie's eyes turned profound...
As for those gentlemen in the far, they were discussing one thing that Zhang Tie was interested in. Therefore, Zhang Tie just leaned against the sofa and drank the wine as he watched the seascape through the window and listened to their conversation. Meanwhile, he started to recall what he had experienced during the past day.
'Last night, I was in the Zhang's old mansion in the Golden Sea City of Huaiyuan Prefecture; this morning, I arrived at Ewentra Archipelago. After that, I went to the Demon Snake Island, then Stars and Moons Island. After exterminating the dark force that had existed in Ewentra Archipelago for many years, I watched the seascape, listened to the music and drank the wine in the bar of Narwhal. What an unimaginable knight's life! Perhaps, this was why knights made people crazy for——freedom. After becoming a knight, I have few limits. I could change many people's fates so easily...'
Zhang Tie was fascinated by such a feeling...
Those men were discussing a major event that happened in Akray Island these days——After joining hands with each other, the major clans in Ewentra Archipelago wanted to establish an Ewentra Archipelago Parliament in Akray Island. This event was indeed influential for those forces across Ewentra Archipelago which were always in a loose state.
Chapter 728: On the Way
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"It's said that Renard Clan has a background in the Western Continent. Conor, the head of Renard Clan may take the position as the speaker of the parliament!"
"Not that simple. Without the corresponding force on his back, it's meaningless for him to become the head of the parliament. Don't forget that Willys Clan in Gantiado Island has the largest fleet across Ewentra Archipelago. In Gantiado Island, Willys Clan could control the will of two-thirds of major clans on that island. It's said that Willys Clan has a close relationship with Spencer Clan in Ice and Snow Wilderness. If the head of Willys Clan becomes the head of the Ewentra Archipelago Parliament, Ice and Snow Wilderness will support him for sure!"
"Speaking of Ice and Snow Wilderness, don't forget about the most important person——the sexy fox. Isn't the sexy fox closely related to the Wild Bear Tribe in Ice and Snow Wilderness? Isn't the Wild Bear Tribe more powerful than Spencer Clan? The barbarous tribes in Sinairi Island are still silent about the establishment of the Ewentra Archipelago Parliament. It would be meaningless no matter who became the head of the parliament if the authority of Ewentra Archipelago Parliament could not be guaranteed on the biggest and the most important Sinairi Island of Ewentra Archipelago. It's said that the sexy fox also has a good relationship with the barbarous tribes on Sinairi Island. What a terrifying woman! She has a relationship with both Ice and Snow Wilderness and Sinairi Island. Even in Saint Herner Island, she could still get the support of Bell Clan. I think that maybe this sexy fox could be the head of the parliament."
"I disagree with you. Just because of the close relationship between sexy fox and Ice and Snow Wilderness, she could not be the head of the Ewentra Archipelago Parliament. Don't forget about these major clans' target to establish Ewentra Archipelago Parliament. If sexy fox became the head of the parliament, it would be inconsistent with the target of the establishment of Ewentra Archipelago. How could those major clans agree with that?"
"Does Ice and Snow Wilderness pose a threat to Ewentra Archipelago? They've maintained peace for so many years..."
"No idea. Do you think the Ice and Snow Wilderness is unchanged? The tonnage of the North Wind Fleet of Ice and Snow Wilderness has surpassed that of Willys Clan two years ago, although it could still not match the total tonnage of the fleets of major clans across Ewentra Archipelago for the time being. What would those major clans do if that lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness became interested in Ewentra Archipelago one day?"
"Hasn't that Peter disappeared 5 years ago? Nobody knows whether he's dead or alive. Additionally, the bear tribes across Ice and Snow Wilderness were still splitting. How could they have a surplus force to cast greedy eyes on Ewentra Archipelago?"
"When did you go to Ice and Snow Wilderness last time?"
"4 years ago!"
"If you go there once again, I promise you will not say so when you come back. Additionally, I have to remind you. If there are Slavs on your side, watch out your words."
"What words?"
"You said that nobody knows whether Peter is dead or alive. If you dared say that in Ice and Snow Wilderness, Slavs on your side would definitely spring up to chop off your head!"
"Erm, is that so serious?"
"Haven't you heard those legends?"
"Yup, but I feel it's a bit exaggerating..."
"In Ice and Snow Wilderness, what you hear and see will be much more exaggerating than what you hear and see in Ewentra Archipelago..."
"Do you mean those fanatics of Ancient God School..."
"How do you know that?"
"I met a pioneer last time, who came from far away to make a pilgrimage in Ice and Snow Wilderness. After that, he joined the Ancient God School. These years, there has been a legend that the ancient god of Ancient God School is the patron of pioneers and Peter is the incarnation of the ancient god in the secular world..."
...
Those men didn't know that the Peter that they were talking about was leaning against the sofa comfortably, sipping the seabuckthorn wine and listening to their talk.
At the beginning, Zhang Tie remained a calm look when he listened to them talking about the parliament of Ewentra Archipelago. Later on, he choked and coughed when he listened to them talking about Ancient God School...
Those men turned around and thought that Zhang Tie, the young man was choked by his wine; therefore, they threw a despised look at Zhang Tie.
After recovering his composure, Zhang Tie raised his head and saw three beautiful legs standing in front of him in high-heeled shoes. The girl who played piano, the waitress and that female bartender were standing in front of him and watching him with a curious look. The girl who played the piano was still wearing the same skirt; while the waitress and the female bartender had put on a coat and covered their work clothes, making their legs more dazzling.
"Can you invite 3 of us for a drink now?" The beautiful waitress asked with a smile.
"No problem!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile. Closely after that, he recovered his composure and invited them to take a seat. He then called the new waiter for a bottle of seabuckthorn wine and three glasses. Later on, they started chatting.
The waitress was called Venika; the female bartender was called Daliana; the piano player was called Wallis. They were all students of Sinaira Business College on Sinaira Island. They would graduate next year. As it was the vacation, through the introduction of Daliana's family members, the 3 girls found a part-time job in the Narwhal. Besides making money, they could also have a free travel and broaden their horizon. They also wanted to find more opportunities for development here.
Ewentra Archipelago had developed commercial civilization and navigation trade. Besides having business relationships with each other, the islands on Ewentra Archipelago even had trade contacts with Ice and Snow Wilderness and Blackson Humans Corridor. Its trade route reached Western Continent while its developed commercial civilization provided more employment opportunities and more open and inclusive environment for young women here.
After knowing that Zhang Tie was called Peter, the three girls exchanged glances with each other before bursting out into laughter.
"What? Is my name so funny?"
"No, actually too many people have the same name. We have many Peters at school. There's one more Peter in Ice and Snow Wilderness!" Wallis explained as she threw a bashful look towards Zhang Tie. Compared to Venika and Daliana, this piano player looked more introverted.
Zhang Tie touched his nose.
"I've not seen you before. Are you new here?" Daliana asked Zhang Tie.
"Hmm, I've just been to Narwhal!" Zhang Tie explained seriously.
"Just? No way? Nobody could board on this ship as soon as it left the harbor. Did you come here by yacht?"
"No, I came here by air. When I saw such a ship heading to Saint Herner Island, I just landed to take a hitchhike!" Zhang Tie put it straightforwardly.
The 3 girls felt that Zhang Tie was very humorous.
Gradually, Venika had moved close to Zhang Tie's side. Being closely touched by her beautiful legs, Zhang Tie could even feel the smooth skin and temperature of her legs.
In less than 1 hour, they had drunk up the bottle of seabuckthorn wine. The 3 girls blushed and looked pretty cute.
"Well, thanks for your wine, we have to go to bed now. We worked the whole night!" Venika said as she stood up together with the other two girls.
"You're welcome. It was my pleasure to invite you for a drink!"
"Aww, do you want to take a seat in our dorm? I'm afraid that the ship will arrive at Saint Herner Island in about 8-9 hours." Venika suggested as she threw a delightful look towards Zhang Tie.
After hearing Venika's invitation to Zhang Tie, Daliana and Wallis exchanged a glance with each other. A bashful look instantly flashed across Daliana's face while Wallis's ears turned red at once.
"Fine!" Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he knew what did this suggestion mean. After dropping a gold coin, he left the bar with the 3 girls for the rear cabin.
Walking in the aisle of the rear cabin, Wallis seemed to be a bit nervous while walking ahead of them, Zhang Tie was walking in the middle of Wallis and Daliana while putting his hands on the soft waists of Venika and Daliana. The two girls didn't refuse him.
Coming to the door of the dorm, Wallis was too nervous that she even dropped the key. When she lowered her body to pick it up, her butts rightly rested onto Zhang Tie's lower abdomen as she felt hitting on something hard. With a sound "Ahh", Wallis blushed at once.
After opening the door flurriedly, Wallis rushed towards her bed like escaping away as she said, "I'm too tired, I will go to bed first..."
This was a dormitory of staff. Although it was not large, it was tidy. There were 3 beds, 3 wardrobes, 1 desk and 1 washroom.
The entire dormitory smelt faintly fragrant.
The moment the door was closed, Venika had started a hot kiss with Zhang Tie. At the same time, she put off her coat. Zhang Tie then put off Daliana's coat, having it slid off to the ground.
Venika wanted to put off her underbodice; however, Zhang Tie stopped her as he moved his lips onto her ear, "Don't do that. Don't you feel it's sexy? You only need to undo the top button of your shirt..."
...
After 9 hours, the Narwhal arrived at Saint Herner Island in the sunset afterglow. Zhang Tie also ended his temporary and pleasant journey.
When Zhang Tie was tapping the potential of uniform in Narwhal, the entire Ewentra Archipela and Ice and Snow Wilderness were boiling as a news was spread there as fast as radio waves with the effect of remote-sensing crystals.
——The Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness is coming back. Berusken and the other roundtable fighters' heads became the first batch of sacrifice for the return of the lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The entire Ewentra Archipelago and Ice and Snow Wilderness were shocked!
Chapter 729: Shocking the Ice and Snow Wilderness
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Eschyle City, Ice and Snow Wilderness...
With remote-sensing crystals, the news was spread so fast. Therefore, in only a few hours, what Zhang Tie did in Stars and Moons Island had been spread to Eschyle City.
Spencer Clan received the news from a business group in Ewentra Archipelago and transmitted the news to Eschyle City at once.
In only 5 years, a higher and more magnificent Iron Bear Castle had been built in the original address of Iron Bear Castle of Spencer Clan in Eschyle City.
Within an underground backroom of Iron Bear Castle, Elder Turin of Spencer Clan was entering a deep meditation.
After receiving the news, Elder Rodolfo arrived at the backroom of Elder Turin immediately and woke him up urgently.
After waiting outside the door of the backroom for 10 minutes, the alloy door finally slid away while Elder Turin slowly appeared in front of Elder Rodolfo with a cold look.
"What happened?" Elder Turin asked calmly which sounded a bit unpleasant.
Any knight would feel unhappy when his cultivation and meditation was interrupted. In Spencer Clan, everybody knew that the one who could really master the fate of the clan was Elder Turin, who had become a knight. Although Elder Rodolfo was also an elder, he was not a knight. Additionally, his seniority in the clan was utterly different than that of Elder Turin. Especially when there was no outsider on their side, Rodolfo treated Turin meticulously as his elder.
Rodolfo reported the news instantly.
After hearing that, Elder Turin's unpleasant look instantly disappeared as his eyes shot out a shrewd light.
"Is it true?"
"It's true. All the disciples of Stars and Moons Swordsmanship School have seen that. The news came from Stars and Moons Island. All the roundtable fighters in Demon Snake Island have been killed!"
After taking a deep breath, Elder Turin revealed an aggressive qi while his face turned solemn at once, "Order North Wind Fleet to get prepared in 3 hours, we're setting out for Saint Herner Island!"
"Ahh, Prepare North Wind Fleet to leave Oro Strait?" Elder Rodolfo became shocked as such a movement might cause a war between Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago. Additionally, this had broken through the bottom line that was tacitly approved by both parties.
"I will go there together with North Wind Fleet to welcome our Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness!"
"Bu...but this might arouse a war!" Elder Rodolfo had to remind Elder Turin considering the potential severe outcome.
"It's time for the war!" Elder Turin replied which shocked Elder Rodolfo so much, "I'm afraid that Peter was waiting in Saint Herner Island for the arrival of North Wind Fleet. If we don't go there, we may disappoint him!"
"Ahh..." Rodolfo became dumbfounded.
"It's estimated that an elder of Huge Bear Tribe will appear in Eschyle City in 2 hours and go to Saint Herner Island together with me!" Elder Turin revealed a faintly mysterious smile, "Pontiff Sarlin, who has the eye of time, must have seen that and made the corresponding preparation!"
After thinking for a short while, Elder Rodolfo seemed to remember something as he whispered to Elder Turin, "What about the Fiery Bear..."
"Just tell them the news honestly, they will make their own choice. Tell the old bear, it's the final chance for them to clarify their stance!" Elder Turin said faintly.
...
In the hieron of Elzida Mountain, Pontiff Sarlin had also opened his eyes at this moment. Watching Elder Toles in front of him, he nodded.
Receiving the answer, Elder Toles just bowed towards Pontiff Sarlin and slowly retreated the hieron.
After 1 hour, the cavalries of Thor's Hammer set out Gozida Plain, shocking the entire Ice and Snow Wilderness...
...
In a main tent of Wild Bear Tribe...
On the main seat was sitting a robust mountain-like man, who was tearing a roasted cattle and chewing it forcefully. Meanwhile, he listened to those sitting below him reporting to him. After eating each piece of beef, the man would always clean his oily hands on his bear-hide coat.
"Clan head Dali, what's your opinion about it?" A 60-years-old man asked.
"Hahaha...this is a big event; of course, I need to consider about it..." The one on the main seat put him off.
"Our whole family have stayed here for 7 days..." Another 20-years-old man interrupted.
"Hahahaha, you four have stayed here for 7 days; then you want the lives of over 13 million people of my wild bear troop?" The man who was tearing beef narrowed his eyes while releasing a depressive qi.
The 60-years-old man threw a stern glance at that young man before opening his mouth calmly, "You're very clear about the power of our Sacred Light School. If you cooperate with us, you will not suffer any loss!"
"Hah, speaking of Sacred Light School, I remember that a country called Sun Dynasty who believed in the God of Brilliance School have been exterminated by the demonized puppets disaster. Does the God of Brilliance School originate from your school? I wonder what other powers does your school still have in Blackson Humans Corridor now."
"Sun Dynasty is just a small country!" The 50-odd years man explained calmly, "That country's God of Brilliance School is just a small branch of our school in Blackson Humans Corridor. Additionally, as they had left the halos of the God of Sacred Light, that branch had been attracted to the evil route by demons. Therefore, they finally came to an end. In Western Continent, our Sacred Light Empire's power is thousands times greater than that of Sun Dynasty. Our believers are like numerous water drops in the ocean. As long as there's sunshine, there will be the follower of our school!"
"Then, what do you want?"
"Belief, we only need belief!" The 60-odd years man replied with an extremely righteous expression, "Besides belief, we need nothing else. If clan head Dali could promise to cooperate with us, the wild bear tribe would gain the opportunity to share the interests of Ice and Snow Wilderness and have power increase greatly; additionally, the assistance of our Sacred Light Empire would also be transported to Ice and Snow Wilderness through our fleet constantly, helping wild bear tribe grow stronger! Our only condition is to do missionary work in Ice and Snow Wilderness. The creed of Ancient God School is pretty absurd and intolerable. We cannot stand it bewitching people's minds here!"
"Hmm! I will think about it for a while, hahahaha..." The clan head of wild bear tribe continued to put him off.
"We can only stay in the wild bear tribe for another 3 days at most. If clan head could still not make that decision by then, we would have no chance then!"
...
After half an hour, the 4 people left the main tent, leaving that Dali continuing tearing his beef. Chewing the beef, the man narrowed his eyes while flickering weird eye-lights.
Gangula hurriedly came in from outside. After that, he walked to the man's side and whispered to that man.
Gangula was more steady now than he was 5 years ago while he kept a dense mustache.
After hearing Gangula's words, the man stopped chewing beef. After a short while, he pounded the cattle's leg onto the table. Closely after that, he glared at Gangula and issued an order, "Go chop off those b*stards' heads and send them to the huge bear tribe!"
Gangula licked his lips excitedly and nodded silently before turning around and leaving the main tent...
"Wait for a second, where's Sabrina?"
"It's said that she bought a castle of Spencer Clan in Eschyle City last month!" Gangula said.
"Hmm, you can leave!" The clan head rubbed his mustache with his oily hand while waving another hand towards Gangula. Gangula then strode away.
Watching Gangula leaving, the clan head of wild bear tribe revealed a sneer, "F*ck, b*stards, preach your sh*t! You just want to share my benefits with some talkative lackeys and a bullsh*t knight from Western Continent. Do you think that this father has not seen a knight or our Slavs have no knights? Peh..."
...
Sabrina was indeed in Eschyle City; precisely, she was outside the military harbor of Eschyle City. Sitting in a black sedan, she was watching the battleships of North Wind Fleet setting off the military harbor together with numerous residents of Eschyle City.
Only the command iron-blood battleships and heavy cruisers above 10,000 tons of North Wind Fleet could pass by Oro Strait. From the beginning, North Wind Fleet was founded for blocking Oro Strait. Therefore, North Wind Fleet was only matched with the above two kinds of battleships.
Those common civilians were cheering and watching the battleships setting off the harbor. Sabrina was shocked by the colorful flags that were hung on a battleship which was closest to her while feeling goosebumps all over.
One triumph flag and two black-iron throne flags...
Triumph flag indicated that the fleet was ready for battle while the two black-iron throne flags meant that there were 2 black-iron knights in the fleet!
All the battleships started to whistle at the same time, which reverberated around the Eschyle City like a roar.
'What's that for?' Sabrina was dumbfounded for a second before telling the driver to go back to the castle...
After 20 minutes, hearing the latest news, Sabrina revealed a bizarre look——Knight? The lad became a knight?
Chapter 730: Protection
Translator: WQL Editor: - -
The sunset afterflow sprey over the sea, turning the sea level of the entire Saint Herner Harbor into glow...
At this moment, the Saint Herner Island was more prosperous than that 5 years ago when Zhang Tie came here for the first time benefited from the great growth in trade and personnel exchanges in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
The Narwhal anchored in a new berth, allowing passengers to disembark.
According to the schedule, the Narwhal would stay in Saint Herner Island for 2 days. After then, this luxury liner, which belonged to Sinaira Shipping Company, would set out for Akray Island. After circling around the major islands across Ewentra Archipelago, it would finally return to Sinaira Island and finished its remaining travel.
Such a relaxed and pleasant travel was the favorite leisure travel of rich people in Ewentra Archipelago.
Previously, Blackson Humans Corridor was also a favorite tourist attraction of rich people in Ewentra Archipelago. However, as Blackson Humans Corridor was covered with battle flames, those rich people lost their interests in it. By contrast, Ewentra Archipelag and Ice and Snow Wilderness which were far away from the continent became shangri-la.
The fishery and shipping industry across Ewentra Archipelago gained a momentum in growth these years. Great batches of rich and poor people escaping from Blackson Humans Corridor brought more gold coins, greater consumption capability, demand and cheap labor force.
As Saint Herner Island was close to Ice and Snow Wilderness, the passengers disembarking Narwhal could buy sufficient specialties of Ice and Snow Wilderness from here at a low price, which was the transfer station of the trade between Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago.
...
"Sir, Narwhal will set off Saint Herner Island on 16:00 pm, September 27th in 2 days. Please carry your ticket and pay attention to the returning time!"
A staff reminded him kindly at the entrance of the gangway when Zhang Tie walked downstairs.
Zhang Tie responded with a smile as he left the Narwhal.
The dock was prosperous and crowded. Those disembarking the Narwhal were surrounded by all sorts of peddlers. Penetrating through the encirclement of the peddlers, Zhang Tie finally walked out of the dock.
Standing on the street outside the dock where he came several years ago, Zhang Tie felt everything familiar yet strange.
Right then, Zhang Tie saw a lot of trucks driving into the dock. The moment the trucks parked, those city guards of Saint Herner City had jumped off the vehicles and started to assemble.
"Company 1 takes charge of security of the east area; company 2 takes charge of west area; company 3 takes charge of the streets nearby the dock; company takes charge of maneuver supervision. Crack down any trouble that you meet!" A major issued his order to those soldiers. Closely after that, he wove his hand towards them, scattering the soldiers at once.
About 1,000 soldiers' arrival shocked many people nearby the dock. They exchanged glances with each other and wondered what was happening.
Zhang Tie was also watching them on one side as he sensed the sudden restless and urgent atmosphere in Saint Herner Island.
At this moment, a slight chaos drifted from a commodity trading hall nearby the dock. Someone rushed out of there while waving something in hand. Like being stimulated, he shouted loudly, "News from a business group in Ice and Snow Wilderness. The North Wind Fleet of Ice and Snow Wilderness have left Eschyle City a few hours ago..."
The man's exclamation puzzled many people on the street. However, someone understood it and changed their faces at once.
It was a bit chaotic in the street. However, the basic order was perserved. However, after hearing this news, someone accelerated their steps while a vehicle drove out of a parking position outside the gate of the commodity trading hall so fast that it even rubbed a taxi and caused a partial traffic jam.
Zhang Tie rubbed his jaw and smiled as he raised his hand. A taxi instantly parked in front of him.
"Sir, where are you going?" The driver turned around and asked him.
"Navyblue Castle!"
"It costs you 1 silver coin and 40 copper coins!"
Zhang Tie nodded. Then the driver started to car.
...
After leaving the dock, the overall situation in the streets was a bit intense while an increasing number of soldiers on duty could be seen everywhere in the street. The driver, who didn't know what happened, mumbled, "Ahh, what happened? Are they catching criminals?"
Zhang Tie closed his eyes and started to visualize 4 abacuses. About 20 minutes later, the car parked. Zhang Tie opened his eyes and found the car couldn't move any more as a group of soldiers from City Guard Administration of Saint Herner City set roadblocks in front of them.
The driver got off the car and talked with one soldier for a short while before returning with a sad look.
"Sir, I'm sorry, the City Guard Administration have blocked the way. I have to stop here. If you walk two miles ahead, you will arrive at Navyblue Castle!"
Zhang Tie slightly frowned as he took out a gold coin and gave it to the driver.
"Ahh, a gold coin? I have no changes!" The driver explained with an embarrassed look.
"Keep the changes!" Zhang Tie got off the car.
For these commoners who survive themselves and their family members by labor work, Zhang Tie always treated them generously since he became a new rich in Tokei City and left Selnes Theatre of Operations. He had no concept about one gold coin at all. However, a gold coin could make commoners happy for a long while. Perhaps, with one gold coin, they could tide over their current difficulties. As it could make both others and himself happy, Zhang Tie felt it was worthwhile to do that.
After being stunned for a couple of seconds, the driver looked excited, "Ahh, Sir, wherelse are you going to? Even though I cannot get you to Navyblue Castle, I can send you to Basa. I usually work nearby the dock. Remember my plate number. You can enjoy a free ride later!"
'What a benevolent commoner!' Zhang Tie smiled as he waved his hand towards the driver and walked towards the pass.
The driver didn't leave; he just parked on the roadside and seemed waiting for Zhang Tie to come back.
"Stop, this road has been blocked. Nobody could access to it!" Two soldiers blocked Zhang Tie.
"I'm going to Navyblue Castle!" Zhang Tie explained to the two common soldiers calmly.
"You're going to Navyblue Castle?" A first lieutenant instantly turned around and stared at Zhang Tie with a vigilant look. After glancing over Zhang Tie, he asked, "Are you a member of Navyblue Castle Business Group?"
"No!"
"What are you going there for?"
"It's nothing to do with you!" Zhang Tie answered faintly.
The first lieutenant commissioned officer became furious as he roared, "Catch him!"
All the near soldiers surrounded up him. Zhang Tie shook his head as he waved his hand, causing over 10 soldiers fly over 10 m back, including that commissioned officer.
Before those people climbed up, Zhang Tie had already flown towards the Navyblue Castle.
...
Outside the Navyblue Castle, dozens of armored vehicles and over 5,000 soldiers of the City Defense Administration of Saint Herner City were surrounding the Navyblue Castle. The Navyblue Castle was closed tightly while all the city-defense weapons on the castle were pointing at those soldiers of the City Guard Administration of Navyblue Castle. The current situation was very aggressive.
Gitta, the tough man was standing on the top of the castle wall with a cold look in full armor as he asked, "Major General Dim, what's the purpose of the City Guard Administration? Why do they surround our Navyblue Castle?'
"Nothing, the head of our Fain Clan wants to invite Ms. Olina to visit Saint Herner City for 2 days!" A man in major general uniform replied Gitta while standing on the top of the armored vehicle.
"F*rt. If that old man wants to see our Ms., just let him come to Navyblue Castle!"
"I'm sorry, if Ms. Olina doesn't think through it in one more hour, we will have to use force!" The Major General Dim replied in an icy way.
"Really?" A sound drifted from the sky. Closely after that, under the gaze of over 5,000 soldiers of City Guard Administration, a figure slowly descended and landed on the top of the city wall of Navyblue Castle. Everybody changed their face greatly.
Zhang Tie then revealed a smile at Gitta, who was already dumbfounded by what he saw. Closely after that, he watched the over 5,000 soldiers of the City Guard Administration and said, "Let the head of Fein Clan come to see me her in 1 hour; if not, what you told to Navyblue Castle just now would be what I say to Fein Clan!"
"You...you are..." Major General Dim felt hot all over as he almost fell onto the ground from the top of the armored vehicle.
"I'm Peter, Peter Hamplester; the lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness, also the master of the entire North Sea Area in the future. From now on, I declare that the entire Navyblue Castle will be under my protection."
Although Zhang Tie's voice was not loud, it could reached directly into ones' hearts. Hearing the name Peter Hamplester, everybody felt a dull thunder rolling by in the sky as they all felt goosebumps all over...
Behind a window inside Navyblue Castle, a pair of beautiful cyan eyes were tightly gazing at that figure who slowly descended from the sky. After hearing the one's last words, the pair of beautiful cyan eyes turned wet.
Ms. Olina then left the window and walked to the dressing table with undulating chest. Closely after that, she told her maids to help her dress up delicately...
Chapter 731: A Bloodless Battle
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Not until he saw Ms. Olina once again did Zhang Tie understand how much he missed this woman...
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that this woman was just similar to Miss Daina. However, when he saw her once again, he realized that this woman had been inseparable from his heart.
Perhaps, Zhang Tie was destined to have a deep touch with this woman since he saved her from the ambushed b*stards of Demon Snake Island.
Actually, when this woman had her warriors kill that guy dispatched from Demon Snake Island decisively for the sake of Zhang Tie's safety in Navyblue Castle, Zhang Tie had felt an indescribable thing between the two of them.
When he stayed with those girls of Rose Association, Zhang Tie felt that he was still immature mentally although being mature physically. By contrast, during the days when he stayed with this woman, Zhang Tie became a real man.
Zhang Tie thought that this was another sort of compensation gifted by the God.
Although it had been 5 years, this woman still had no wrinkles on her face. Conversely, her fervent, elegant and mature charm was like a delicately brewed rose liquor, which smelt more mellow, sweet and fascinating.
When he saw her, Zhang Tie knew Ms. Olina had dressed up well.
Olina was wearing a royal blue, bright heart-shaped long skirt while exposing her breasts in a pair of golden high-heeled shoes. The brilliant diamond necklace hung in the groove between her plump breasts.
This woman knew what he liked.
The moment he caught sight of Ms. Olina, the narwhal of Zhang Tie, who had enjoyed 6-7 hours' ride on Narwhal, became hard once again.
From 20 m away, by looking into each other's eyes, the two people had been obsessed.
When Ms. Olina moved her eyes away from Zhang Tie's face to the finger ring of awareness, a faint glow appeared on her cheeks, making her more beautiful.
Gitta, who brought Zhang Tie in, silently left the parlor of Navyblue Castle as he closed the gate.
With his eyes on her, Zhang Tie walked over there.
Seemingly having anticipated that something was going to happen, Ms. Olina's breasts undulated faintly.
Zhang Tie just walked over there and put one arm over her neck. Closely after that, he kissed Ms. Olina's lips intensely...
Gradually, Olina started to respond fervently as her sexy tongue slid into Zhang Tie's mouth.
After a long while, the two people departed from each other.
"Do you want me to wear a 'blindfold' this time?" Zhang Tie asked Ms. Olina.
A bashful look appeared on her face.
...
Besides the head of Fein Clan, even the head of Bell Clan, who were the most powerful figures in Saint Herner Island, arrived in Navyblue Castle in 1 hour.
After waiting for 1 hour in the parlor of Navyblue Castle, the head of Fein Clan became restless as bean-sized sweat started to drop off his half-balded head. He kept wiping off his sweat. By contrast, the head of Bell Clan looked calmer. Sitting in a dignified way, the old Bell sipped a mouth of tea water served by the waiter in Navyblue Castle.
After 2 hours, Zhang Tie finally walked out with Ms. Olina who wore a purple skirt.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, the head of Fein Clan instantly sprung up while the old Bell looked calmer.
At this moment, Ms. Olina looked brilliant and charming all over like a honey peach being moisten by morning dew.
Only after throwing a glance at Ms. Olina had the heads of Fein Clan and Bell Clan bowed towards Zhang Tie.
As they knew what this woman and this man had done in the past 2 hours from the look of Ms. Olina. As for men with rich experience, Ms. Olina's look indicated that she had not made love for a long time until just now.
Zhang Tie nodded towards the two men. Ms. Olina revealed a kind look towards old Bell; by contrast, she turned cold towards the head of Fein Clan.
The moment they sat down, the head of Fein Clan had sprung up once again as he watched Zhang Tie with a smile, "Erm...what happened today...was a misunderstanding?"
In Saint Herner Island, Fein Clan might be able to do whatever they wanted; even across Ewentra Archipelago, Fein Clan was still an influential clan. However, in front of the master of Ice and Snow Wilderness, also a knight, Fein Clan was barely a rural rustic new rich. If all the rural new rich across Ewentra Archipelago could join hands with each other, they might form a bit threat to Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, if there was only one new rich like Fein Clan, they dared never fight Peter alone.
Zhang Tie waved his head as he didn't want to listen to the boring explanation anymore.
In the final analysis, what Fein Clan did today was just to protect themselves when they knew that North Wind Fleet was heading towards Saint Herner Island.
"If there are a number of bandits and demons who do all the evil things outside your home, whom do you expect to help you guard your home; a strong braveman, or a businessman who only pays attention to profit and would escape away the moment they face the danger?"
The moment Zhang Tie uttered, the heads of Fein Clan and Bell Clan had become silent as they understood Zhang Tie's meaning right away. Ewentra Archipelago was the portal of Ice and Snow Wilderness. Previously, the Ewentra Archipelago and Ice and Snow Wilderness could maintain a certain compromise and balance; however, after the holy war broke out, the Ice and Snow Wilderness could not allow Ewentra Archipelago to sustain the current state. Because Saint Herner Island was the last station for demons to reach Ice and Snow Wilderness from Ewentra Archipelago, that's why Zhang Tie appeared in Saint Herner Island.
"When the demons would arrive here, your entire clan could escape out of here by one ship. But have you thought about the residents in Ice and Snow Wilderness? They have nowhere to escape!" Zhang Tie watched the heads of the two major clans as he added, "I'm not intimidating or threatening you. I just want to give you a choice. You can leave Saint Herner Island right away; I will not hurt you. You can go wherever you want with all the coins that you've made here. But if you want to stay here, you have to follow my rules!"
Ms. Olina remained silent. She just watched Zhang Tie, who exhibited a fascinating masculinity, the only time when Ms. Olina felt that this man had already grown mature.
After being silent for a second, the old Bell asked, "I wonder what do we need to do and what can we get if Bell Clan agree to stay?"
"Everything about your clan would run as usual. You could also keep your private forces; however, Bell Clan would need to adopt the following two aspects: first, taxation power. In order to accumulate strength, I have to control the taxation power of Saint Herner Island. Second, military power. As long as the demons arrived here, a powerful and brave army instead of stragglers and disbanded soldiers would protect you and spare time for you to transfer your wealth and family members. If the demons really arrived, I would allow you a free migration! Additionally, each island in Ewentra Archipelago could share a greater autonomy. I would not dispatch my administrative officers to the islands. Your clan interests would be basically guaranteed. Ewentra Archipelago could even find an autonomous parliament..."
Besides the taxation power and the military power, Zhang Tie promised a great autonomy to the islands and clans across Ewentra Archipelago. Furthermore, he used Ewentra Archipelago to balance the resistance coming from the lower middle class. This was Olina's advise during the past 2 hours when Zhang Tie made a "deep exchange" with Olina. With this advise, Zhang Tie could control the entire Ewentra Archipelago at the lowest price and face the least resistance. That woman was not only the best lover, but also the best adviser.
If he unified the taxation power, it seemed that some clans would abandon some rights; actually, from the perspective of the entire Ewentra Archipelago, this measure could further promote the trade of the entire archipelago and enable each clan to make profits. The biggest bottleneck that restricted the development of the maritime trade of Ewentra Archipelago was that taxations had not been unified across the archipelago.
As for the military power, it was the key for Zhang Tie to control the entire Ewentra Archipelago which reflected Zhang Tie's authority.
Additionally, the greater autonomy and the right to migrate when the demons arrived, collapsed most clans' willingness to resist.
Through the foundation of the autonomous parliament, he could not only allow the major clans on Ewentra Archipelago to pin down each other, but also handle many internal conflicts in the public. Besides, he could rope in middle class and citizens across Ewentra Archipelago and allow major clans to pin down common class. Apparently, this autonomous parliament could unify Ewentra Archipelago; actually, it collapsed the total power across Ewentra Archipelago, causing local force or clan to not predominate in Ewentra Archipelago.
After thinking a short while, old Bell asked the final question, "Whether Berusken was...killed by you?"
Through Ms. Olina, Zhang Tie had predicted that old Bell might ask this question. Because old Bell's two sons were killed by b*stards in Demon Snake Island, Bell Clan swore to clean Demon Snake Island.
"Yes, the entire Demon Snake Island will become a history from today on!" Zhang Tie nodded.
After watching Zhang Tie with a complex look for a while, old Bell finally stood up and made a deep bow towards Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he put his right hand on his left chest and said solemnly, "From today on, Bell Clan will pledge to be loyal to Peter Hamplester!"
The 6 eyes finally fixed on the head of Fein Clan. The situation had been obvious. Two of the top three major clans in Saint Herner Island had already stood on Zhang Tie's side. Even if Fein Clan was still controlling Saint Herner City, it had no chance to bargain with the other two major clans, even a knight.
Bigger sweat dropped off the head of Fein Clan.
"Fein Clan doesn't need to answer me at this moment. Before the North Wind Fleet arrives, you have 4 days to make a decision, stay or leave!" Zhang Tie said calmly as he waved his hand to let the head of Fein Clan leave.
When the head of Fein Clan was going to leave the parlor, he heard Ms. Olina talking to Zhang Tie.
"Perhaps Fein Clan still wanted a try with tens of thousands of soldiers!"
Zhang Tie sneered faintly like having heard a joke as he comforted Ms. Olina by lightly patting her hand——tens of thousands of soldiers were nothing but a sh*t in front of a knight ...
After hearing this, the head of Fein Clan turned his face immediately, 'Although Peter said I could have 4 days to consider it, would that woman spare 4 days to me? As I've already offended that woman by surrounding Navyblue Castle with so many soldiers today, if that woman used any trick during these days or persuaded Peter that Fein Clan's really going to "struggle", then...'
'Other women may not do such a trick but this one is different as she is "Enchanting Fox", who has been used to "kill" people.'
'Don't forget how this woman handled Ballas Clan.'
Therefore, the head of Fein Clan immediately drew back the foot which had stridden out of the parlor. After that, he turned around and returned to Zhang Tie's front. Lowering his head, he put his right hand on his left chest.
"From today on, Fein Clan will pledge to be loyal to Peter Hamplester!"
Chapter 732: A Hot Welcome
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
On September 29th, when the North Wind Fleet of Ice and Snow Wilderness arrived at Saint Herner Island after 4 days of travel, the entire Saint Herner Island had long been dressed up and waiting for it liking holding a festival.
The average citizens in Saint Herner Island might not know that the 3 major clans in Saint Herner Island had already paid allegiance to Ice and Snow Wilderness. However, the atmosphere of the ceremony made many people who were worried about possible wars reassured. No matter what, it didn't look like that a war was going to break out.
All the people in Saint Herner Island had rushed to the harbor to watch the heroic North Wind Fleet of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
At about 2 pm, a limousine fleet left Navyblue Castle for Saint Herner Harbor. The moment they left Navyblue Castle, they had seen soldiers of Saint Herner City standing on the roadside in a red formal dress while chinning up and chesting out like poplars 1 with a distance of 3 m or so.
Zhang Tie and Olina were sitting in a limousine in a very formal dress.
Zhang Tie wore a brilliant ceremonial robe, which was a noble grand duke's costume being matched with black, red and gold according to the rules of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Olina also wore a beautiful, black ceremonial dress, making her noble and beautiful.
They were sitting on the back row of the limousine. The windows of the vehicle were composed of one-way glasses, which could not be seen through from outside. The driver was Gitta.
A lot of onlookers on the roadsides were waving fresh flowers and flags with blushes. They were yelling "Peter...Peter...Peter...". Therefore, the car didn't move fast.
After leaving Navyblue Castle for a mile, more and more people gathered on the roadsides with ear-deafening exclamations.
Although it was only a couple of days since he came here, the news that Zhang Tie visited Navyblue Castle had already shocked the entire Saint Herner Island. Not only residents in the downtown of Saint Herner City, even many people in the remote areas of Saint Herner City had arrived so as to witness the heroic look of the Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
In Saint Herner Island, Zhang Tie had too many halos on his head. Besides the status as the Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness, his Knight-level battle force, his heroic deed in Demon Snake Island and so many events about him in Ice and Snow Wilderness and the entire Ewentra Archipelago made Zhang Tie much more brilliant than any superstars before the Catastrophe.
Zhang Tie became a mixture of authoritarian, hero, idol, superstar and religious leader.
In the heart of average people, such a person was even more brilliant than the sun.
Since the limousine fleet drove out of Navyblue Castle had the entire road become boiled. If not all the soldiers in Saint Herner City were maintaining the order, the entire road might have been covered by people.
"Peter...Peter...Peter..."
The sound insulation effect in the back row of the limousine was very good; even though Zhang Tie could still hear clearly the ear-deafening exclamations outside the car and see their frenzied and excited looks.
The onlookers constantly sprayed fresh petals over the road...
"I've been in Saint Herner Island for so many years, but it's my first time to see them completely boiled up for one person!" Olina watched Zhang Tie with a bizarre look. It seemed that Zhang Tie's honor was hers.
"Actually, I'm as same as them!" Zhang Tie smiled at Ms. Olina, "Perhaps you don't believe it; seeing them, I feel like watching myself!"
Olina blinked her eyes as she didn't understand why Zhang Tie said so...
Watching the average looks on the roadsides, Zhang Tie took a deep breath as he did one thing——He opened the windows on both sides. After that, he watched outside with a tender look. He was waiting to be noticed by the roadside people. Zhang Tie would always reveal a genial and simple look to these people.
...
The moment Zhang Tie opened the windows, the onlookers on the roadsides had stretched out their necks to witness the look of the Lord of Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Ms. Olina smiled towards the roadside people while sitting close to Zhang Tie in a beautiful and elegant way.
"Peter...Peter...that one must be Peter. I saw him!" A roadside girl shrieked as she instantly passed out due to extreme happiness.
"Ahh, that's Peter. The one sitting close to Ms. Olina is Peter!" Someone exclaimed with an excited look.
After catching sight of Zhang Tie, many people started to shout loudly due to the excitement.
...
When Zhang Tie opened the windows, the fleet was always accompanied with much more louder cheers. The moment the other onlookers heard the louder exclamations, they knew that the fleet was arriving.
The limousine drove in Saint Herner City along the designated route. In Saint Herner City, not only roadsides, even the balconies, windows and roofs of buildings on both sides had been crowded with people. Everyone was exclaiming and cheering. They even didn't know why they were so happy.
The fleets of Bell Clan and Fein Clan converged in the fleet of Navyblue Castle before heading for Saint Herner Harbor.
Hearing the cheers of the entire city, the head of Fein Clan felt lucky and fearful. He had not imagined that Zhang Tie could have such a great influence in Saint Herner Island. Watching such a boisterous scene, some clansmen of Fein Clan who felt unpleasant just now instantly changed their faces as they forcefully swallowed their saliva and didn't speak anymore.
Sitting in a car of his own fleet, the old Bell let out a sigh as he turned around and told his grandson with a solemn look, "Remember, Philis, unless you can arouse the same shock in a strange place after leaving Saint Herner Island, never stand on the opposite of such an influential figure if you want to survive Bell Clan. Because you don't know how many trump cards does this figure have. Many people will send your head to him in order to flatter him!"
His 20-year old grandson nodded solemnly. Closely after that, he whispered to old Bell, "Grandpa, is that Peter really younger than me?"
Zhang Tie was staying in Navyblue Castle these days. In the entire Bell Clan, only old Bell was qualified to see Zhang Tie. Even old Bell's grandson Philis, who was the successor of old Bell, was not qualified to see Zhang Tie. Only on today's occasion, Philis was able to stand closer to Zhang Tie under the leadership of old Bell.
"You should believe that someone in this world would always be favored by the God!"
...
The complete fleet then entered the Saint Herner Harbor, the periphery of which had been completely covered by onlookers. More than 10,000 soldiers of Saint Herner City were maintaining orders here.
After passing by the crowded road, the fleet came to an open dock. Watching the front cars parking, all the big figures of Saint Herner Island followed Zhang Tie off the vehicles.
A simple yet solemn welcome ceremony was held here while the ground was paved with red carpet. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the North Wind Fleet.
After getting off the car, Zhang Tie drew Olina's hand and walked to the edge of the dock. They then looked into the distance.
Following some frigates of Saint Herner Island, the North Wind Fleet appeared on the sea level with rising black and dense smoke.
In this age, a fleet composed of artilleries and huge ships symbolized maritime right and wealth. Without the deep background, a nation could never afford a fleet.
Two dense glow slowly rose from Zhang Tie's body spiritually. In a split second, the two glow twisted with each other and shot to the sky. Closely after that, an extremely brilliant heavenly curtain gradually spread like numerous bloody suns while the bloody flames covered the entire Saint Herner Harbor, even the Saint Herner City like a judgment in the doomsday and gods' fury...
The bloody heavens curtain reappeared in the world.
At this moment, watching the sacred, brilliant heavens curtain rising from Zhang Tie, all the influential figures in Saint Herner City standing behind Zhang Tie were dumbfounded...
When the bloody fiery heavens curtain appeared, two meteors set off the North Wind Fleet in the distance and flew towards Saint Herner Island.
The numerous suns radiated jarring luster, which poured into Zhang Tie's scalp. Closely after that, a huge wheel of golden light composed of complex geometric patterns came into being at Zhang Tie's feet. The moment the huge wheel of light came into being, an invisible strength swept over 100 sq miles like radio waves centered by Zhang Tie.
Everyone felt that something inside was plucked by that strength...
Last time when he released Bloody Fiery Heavens Curtain, it was 5 years ago. Zhang Tie had not predicted such a great change in Bloody Fiery Heavens Curtain. When the luster poured into Zhang Tie's scalp, Zhang Tie was in a bizarre state. Meanwhile, the scene that he released his Bloody Fiery Heavens Curtain in the ruined relics and the unforgettable, heavy feeling shocked Zhang Tie's soul once again like rebroadcasting a slide...
Chapter 733: The Gentle Strength-Supreme Protection
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie seemed to return to the most contradictory and helpless moment in his life.
Aurora appeared in front of him and watched him with a sad look...
"Gangula has already reached a confidential agreement with the heads of other small and medium-sized tribes. As long as the heads of the tribes support him, Gangula promises to survive some influential figures of each tribe. According to Gangula's plan, only 200-300 people could persist till 3 months later when the rescue would break through the tunnel!"
"Tomorrow, the allied force will start to clean the pioneers in this ruined relics! In order to survive the fighters in Grey Eagle Tribe, I will join the battle. I prefer to die with my fighters; instead of surviving myself alone!"
After saying that, Aurora left...
Sabrina appeared in front of Zhang Tie...
"My little man. Don't worry. We could still keep in touch with the outside world. The rescue team of Wild Bear Tribe and other tribes would arrive after a couple of days. We only need to stand here for 3 months. As long as I could survive out, I swear to take you out of here!"
...
Sam and Gerri appeared in front of Zhang Tie with the same sadness.
"Peter, Sam and I are here to bid farewell to you. After negotiating with Sam, we've decided to go back to the team of pioneers. As nobody can leave out of here or wait until the underground tunnel is broken through; we prefer to die as pioneers so that we still retain a bit dignity!"
...
The heart-wrenching pain and helplessness returned to Zhang Tie.
In the pain, Zhang Tie returned to the distant, dark tunnel in Wildwolf Valley...
In the distant and deep underground tunnel, he marched forward, followed by a team of miners while holding burning torches...
He took out his dagger, followed by all the others. Closely after that, he cut through his wrist and dropped the fresh blood into the pit on the stone.
...
"This is the blood of brothers. How can you dry up before the completion of the sacred great blessing skill?"
"Ahh, no..."
"Use mine, use mine blood..."
"Wtf..."
Strange faces reappeared in front of Zhang Tie...
...
"Brave sacrificers. You sacrifice yourself to your brothers. This is the supreme, righteous deed. This is the most satisfactory love...your names will be carved on that sacred arch door forever. When you can treat your brothers as yourself, you have entered the realm of truth. Time will end; oceans will dry up; high mountains will collapse. However, your names will never fade away. Your sacrifice means eternity. One day, all of us will gather in the sacred realm of eternity. Each perfection that you've done for your brothers will finally come back to you. Your brothers will never leave you alone. You know, the light is in your body. Everything that you create will stay along with you like how you stay with the God."
...
Potter who had become the fire holder exclaimed with a sacred look, "I wish to sacrifice myself for my brothers!"
...
Hallan Wood jumped out, "I wish to be the sacrificer!"
...
Jack Jones jumped out, "I wish to be the sacrificer!"
...
Natili Gandi jumped out, "I wish to be the sacrificer!"
...
Francis Franca jumped out, "I wish to be the sacrificer!"
...
Finally, only one word was reverberating in Zhang Tie's mind.
——Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer! Sacrificer!
Yes, sacrificer!"
Turning oneself into the burning torch in the dark——burning oneself to illuminate the road for others!
It turned out that the sacred light was buried in everyone's heart!
Zhang Tie through it through at once...
Based on his marvelous perception, each one within 100 sq mile became a fine string that could resonate with Zhang Tie in his consciousness...
'This is the Gentle Strength!'
'Actually, I've already mastered that in the ruined relics. However, as I've not reached the Knight level at that moment, I could not display it.'
When the huge visible halos and the invisible chakra were running, Zhang Tie felt like becoming a bell, a huge bell, which could ring in a certain state and could cause the resonance of other rings of lives.
The bell rings were the praise for sacrifice while sacrifice was the supreme protection of Zhang Tie and all the others.
Zhang Tie felt that something was in his body while those awakened genes and abilities integrated into that halos like musical notes and turned into a certain frequency in the halos and the huge bell, which was increased by times...
'That is a super great strike-resistant ability that I gained after eating so many iron-body fruits!'
'That's a super effective ability which could accelerate the recovery of all the wounds after activating the preliminary recovery body which I got after setting free so many earthworms!'
'And the ability to resist coldness granted by sandscale fish.'
Zhang Tie opened his gleaming eyes while an invisible strength spread across everybody within 100 sq mile...
The faint strength that everybody felt being plucked inside just now was intensified this time, causing everyone in Saint Herner Island feel a powerful, dauntless strength rising in their own bodies.
Being pushed by such a great strength, the battle-qi totems of all the fighters above LV 6 rose up along with one bright, yellow mysterious halos...
Actually, the halos appeared on everyone's body, but it was especially obvious on fighters above LV 6. The higher level the onlooker was, the more brilliant halos he would have.
In a split second, exclamations could be heard everywhere from the harbor to Saint Herner City...
"What's happening..." All the fighters in Saint Herner Island shouted.
At the sight of the sacred totem Bloody Fiercy Heavens Curtain that covered the entire sky, many citizens on the streets suddenly felt an unprecedented strength rising in their bodies which felt pretty comfortable. All the guys who had wounds and pains felt much better. Being shocked by all this, they just felt everything in front of their eyes was like a wonder.
"It's Peter, Peter manifests the wonder!" A smart guy immediately felt that he found the right answer when he remembered those legends about Peter.
"Ahh, wonder!" All the others started to exclaim with full of excitement.
"Yes, it's a wonder. I feel full of strength..."
A middle-aged woman raised her hand with full excitement as she explained, "The wound that was left when I chopped vegetables yesterday healed instantly. What a wonder..."
More people exclaimed...
The extremely brilliant sacred totem Bloody Fiery Heavens Curtain became the best note and background of the wonder in the eyes of the innocent people.
Some people even directly knelt down and started to pray while their faces were covered with tears.
For those innocent people across Saint Herner Island, very few of them knew the so-called wonder was just the manifestation of the knight's Gentle Strength.
Even many commissioned officers above LV 6 in Saint Herner Island didn't know what was happening when they were experiencing the knight's Gentle Strength, not to mention commoners. Even common knights didn't exist in Saint Herner Island, not to mention knights who mastered Gentle Strength.
Some senior commissioned officers might have thought of the legendary Gentle Strength of knight. However, they were not sure about it. After all, nobody had experienced such a marvelous skill of knight before.
However, they were sure that this special strength and the bizarre phenomenon in the sky was brought by Peter!
Among all of them, only Elder Turin of Eschyle City and Elder Gouras of Huge Bear Tribe who flew towards here knew that it was knight's Gentle Strength.
The invisible strength also reached the two elders who were still dozens of miles away, causing two huge golden halos. As a result, the two elders became more eye-catching in the sky.
The two elders had great perceptive abilities on their bodies. In a split second, they felt that their defensive ability and strike-resistant ability had increased by at least 3 times, even their protective battle qi had become about 10% firmer. Additionally, their cell healing and recovering ability increased by at least 6 times. Additionally, the two people felt that the chill instantly disappeared in the air...
This was knight's gentle strength, very powerful gentle strength. After being aided by such a strength, it was like wearing a cold-resistant super powerful armor, which could defend harms and accelerate the healing speed of wounds...
The two elders soon arrived at Saint Herner Harbor. After landing in front of Zhang Tie, they gave a salute to Zhang Tie.
"Gouras, the elder of Huge Bear Tribe!"
"Turin, the elder of Iron Bear Tribe!"
"Sorry for being late, clan head!"
"It's okay. Please don't be that polite. Now that you've arrived, just wait here with me for the North Wind Fleet!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile.
Finding that the two knight elders from Ice and Snow Wilderness respected Zhang Tie so much, many so-called "big figures" in Saint Herner Island forcefully swallowed their saliva before swarming up to greet the two elders.
The two elders just nodded towards the heads of Fein Clan and Bell Clan, not to mention those so-called "big figures".
"Clan head, is that your gentle strength?" The Elder Gouras asked Zhang Tie with desired eyes as he tried to recover his composure.
"Right!"
"What's the name of this gentle strength? It's too powerful!" Elder Turin asked with a respectful look.
After thinking about it for a couple of seconds, "I want it to be called supreme protection!"
'Supreme protection?' After exchanging a glance with each other, the two elders eyes shined.
One hour later, the North Wind Fleet finally arrived at Saint Herner Island while being greeted by Zhang Tie's Bloody Fiery Heavens Curtain.
Right in the greeting ceremony in Saint Herner Harbor, the 3 major clans of Saint Herner Island issued the joint statement. They declared that Saint Herner Island would be integrated into Ice and Snow Wilderness from today on under Peter Hamplester's ruling...
Chapter 734: The Sacred Light Empire
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
After finishing the ceremony, Zhang Tie finally spared some time to listen to the introduction of Elder Turin and Elder Gouras about Ice and Snow Wilderness in a study of Navyblue Castle. Zhang Tie then slightly frowned...
During the past 5 years, many unexpected things had happened in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
"Sacred Light Empire? Sacred Light School?" Zhang Tie mumbled this strange name from the Western Continent.
"Sacred Light School has a branch in Blackson Humans Corridor——God of Brilliance School. God of Brilliance School even founded a country called Sun Dynasty, which bordered with Norman Empire. After the holy war broke out, Sun Dynasty encountered a large-scale demonized puppets disaster and had already been exterminated. Therefore, God of Brilliance School and Sacred Light School are the same religion in different regions. Their creed and organization structure are the same." Elder Gouras explained. He even told Zhang Tie about Sun Dynasty and God of Brilliance School as he thought Zhang Tie was unfamiliar with them.
Zhang Tie was stunned. He had not imagined that God of Brilliance School and Sun Dynasty originated from Sacred Light School. However, he was familiar with God of Brilliance School and Sun Dynasty. When he joined Iron-Blood Camp, he had fought the corps of Sun Dynasty in Kalur Theater of Operations. Additionally, one of his subordinates was the muling of Sun Dynasty.
Everything about Sun Dynasty and God of Brilliance School made Zhang Tie feel disgusted.
"The one who founded God of Brilliance School in Blackson Humans Corridor was a red-robe muling of Sacred Light School. Later on, God of Brilliance School founded Sun Dynasty. As Blackson Humans Corridor was far away from Western Continent, plus certain internal problems facing Sacred Light School, Sacred Light School gradually lost its control of God of Brilliance School." Elder Turin added, "Sacred Light School has a tradition; it encourages expansion. This school allows its clergies to leave Sacred Light Empire and duplicate all the regulations of Sacred Light School in all the continents and countries in the name of preaching. Clergies are allowed to establish churches even theocratical states so as to increase the influence and controlling forces of Sacred Light School."
"Like a virus?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Yes, the expansion mode of Sacred Light School is like how the virus spreads!" Elder Turin nodded.
"How big is the influence of Sacred Light Empire in Western Continent?"
"Sacred Light Empire is one of the major states in Western Continent. Its force mainly gathers in the eastern region of Western Continent. The total area of Sacred Light Empire is 5 times more than that of Blackson Humans Corridor with more than 10 billion people!"
"How's the relationship between Sacred Light Empire and other states in Western Continent?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Sacred Light School is widely forbidden in many states and regions as a heresy. Sacred Light Empire doesn't get along with the other major states!" Elder Gouras explained.
Zhang Tie nodded as he knew clearly about the f*cking tricks of God of Brilliance School.
In one word, the creed of the so-called God of Brilliance School was that everything in the world was created by God of Brilliance. Therefore, everything belonged to God of Brilliance. All those who didn't believe in God of Brilliance were guilty and had to go the hell after death. Those who believed in God of Brilliance were righteous and were destined to go the heaven after death. It sounded noble. Actually, if you believed in it, everything of yours would belong to God of Brilliance. As God of Brilliance would not manifest itself in front of commoners; only those mulings who were close to God of Brilliance knew the will of God of Brilliance. Therefore, mulings administered and enjoyed everything that was created by God of Brilliance on behalf of the God of Brilliance.
Your belongings belonged to God of Brilliance; however, the belongings of God of Brilliance belonged to mulings. Therefore, your belongings belonged to mulings.
You were the citizen of God of Brilliance; mulings were the servants of God of Brilliance. God of Brilliance expressed his will and ruled his citizens through mulings. Therefore, mulings were the spokesmen of God of Brilliance. Muling's words were what the God of Brilliance wanted to say; Muling's will were the will of God of Brilliance and the truth. If you violated mulings' will, you violated the will of the God of Brilliance and the truth.
Everything of God of Brilliance School was interpreting how a group of worms, jerk clergies, liars, bandits and thieves bullied and slaved the followers using that God's statue.
Such a trick remained unchanged before and after the Catastrophe. However, the things that were worshiped always changed. If it was a God's statue being worshipped, they said that God created everything and brought people paradise and intelligence; if it was a great man or sage, they said that the great man or sage created everything and brought people truth and fashion; if it was science, they said that science created everything and brought people happiness.
As the God's statue remained silent, the mulings' words were God's will.
As the sage passed away, the politicians interpreted the truth.
As the science was profound, experts said only they understood it.
Only the God knew how many mean and dirty lies were fabricated.
Such a trick had been played for thousands of years; however, it still had a great vitality until today. Although age and environment changed, human greed, desire and fear remained unchanged.
"What are the stances of the major bear tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness?"
"A few days ago, the wild bear tribe had chopped off the heads of a group of clergies from Sacred Light Empire and sent them to the huge bear tribe. The fire bear tribe and sea bear tribe didn't express their stances for the time being. Mountain bear tribe, black bear tribe and demon bear tribe might have been roped in by Sacred Light Empire. The commissionary group of more than 200 people dispatched by Sacred Light School to Ice and Snow Wilderness this time was ruled by a mace muling. The mace muling was a knight
"How many knights do the three tribes have?"
"Mountain bear tribe, black bear tribe and demon bear tribe have one knight, respectively, who are the most dignified elders in their tribes. Julius, the clan head of demon bear tribe is a 5-star battle spirit, who mastered the skill of secondary instant promotion. After secondary instant promotion, his battle force is close to that of a knight. Plus that mace muling of the commissionary group of Sacred Light Empire, they have 4 and a half knights precisely!"
'Four and a half knights, plus Sacred Light Empire on their back, no wonder the tribes dared covet my territory. Actually, huge bear tribe and iron bear tribe have 4 knights. However, the opponent had not imagined that I also became a knight. Additionally, I've mastered the gentle strength of knight. Therefore, my party is more powerful.'
As a wide area of territory in the north of Blackson Humans Corridor had collapsed, the strategic importance of Ice and Snow Wilderness and Ewentra Archipelago grew. Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could collide with the power of Western Continent here. However, as it had happened, he had to make his decision.
Besides Sacred Light Empire, through reading Berusken's memory, Zhang Tie knew that other forces of Western Continent had already reached their tentacles in Ewentra Archipelago. Due to the huge amount of wealth that was accumulated through trades between Ewentra Archipelago and the other parties and its geographical position, which was closer to Western Continent than Blackson Humans Corridor, Ewentra Archipelago had already made some people drool with envy. This crisis in Ice and Snow Wilderness and the will that Ewentra Archipelago would like to establish Ewentra Archipelago Parliament were actually pushed by certain forces from Western Continent. Due to their tacit cooperation, if they made it, one western force would devour Ice and Snow Wilderness while the other western force would occupy Ewentra Archipelago.
'However, they have to admit that they have selected the wrong places due to my existence.'
"After handling affairs in Ewentra Archipelago, we will return to Ice and Snow Wilderness!" Zhang Tie told the two elders.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Elder Turin and Elder Gouras nodded at the same time!
...
On October 1st, after receiving the invitations of Peter Hamplester, all the heads of clans across Ewentra Archipelago, even the elders of barbarous clans in Sinaira Island arrived at Navyblue Castle in Saint Herner Island by airship to negotiate about the future deployment of Ewentra Archipelago.
Accompanied by the heads of major clans were their own fleets. The allied fleets of Ewentra Archipelago converged in the open water of Saint Herner Island, whose overall battle force was over 3 times than that of North Wind Fleet in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
Only 40 people or so were qualified to be invited to negotiate about the future deployment of Ewentra Archipelago by Zhang Tie. They represented the local forces of the entire Ewentra Archipelago.
Evidently, the battle force of North Wind Fleet could not match that of the allied fleet of Ewentra Archipelago. However, the allied fleet of Ewentra Archipelago and the major clans on Ewentra Archipelago didn't have knights on their back. In this case, as long as the war between Ewentra Archipelago and Ice and Snow Wilderness broke out, North Wind Fleet would be exterminated for sure; however, Ewentra Archipelago would also suffer a great loss. Additionally, the three knights from Ice and Snow Wilderness would definitely exterminate the local major clans on Ewentra Archipelago as a revenge. As a result, the trade and prosperity of the entire Ewentra Archipelago would be weakened. That was to say, even if Ice and Snow Wilderness won the war in the end, it could still not organize an established navy army in a long period.
Each major clan could be able to make such a deduction.
All the major clans on Ewentra Archipelago knew the outcome if they fought Ice and Snow Wilderness; however, they didn't feel like losing the war in this way. Therefore, after one day of negotiation, the major clans on Ewentra Archipelago dispatched two representatives to tell Zhang Tie about their conditions on October 2nd...
