"Very well, Captain Tong! Please tell us what it is that you want in exchange for the spell." Xiao Yuyu plastered a smile on her face.
Wang Tong marveled at his luck for meeting the chief medic, who was able to appreciate the power of the spell.
"Chief, what we want is simple; we want to be the leader of the Maersa district." Wang Tong announced with candor and confidence.
"Captain Tong, the Sect cannot dictate the power dynamic of regional factions… You know that." Ye Zi shot back at him.
"Of course, I do. But, if the sect can lend us fifty mastery casters to aid us in our siege on the City of Maersa, Battle Wolf should be able to establish authority after taking the city. After the siege, it will be up to the casters to choose between staying at Battle Wolf or returning the Sect."
Xiao Yuyu was at a loss, since the demand went very much against the grain of Guan Dongyang's character. He had been a proud young warlord who would turn down reinforcements even if they were free.
