chapter 1846-1850


    Chapter 1846


    These words made the corners of Josh’s mouth twitch slightly.


    He was not an idiot. He knew that they would not hand those people over so easily. However, as


    someone from the Alliance Guard, he had to say such words too. Otherwise, he would not be able to


    exin everything properly once he went back. That was why he wanted to show his power.


    After thinking about it, he said, “All right, Tomas. You’re sure that you won’t hand them over? You’re


    seriously not afraid that a huge war will break out between the two sides? You’d be the number one


    sinner then!”


    Tomas just smiled as usual. “Haha. We’ll worry about the future once we’re there. Anyway, I won’t hand


    them over to you now. If you’ve got the guts, you cane over to snatch them away. See if you can kill


    them right under my nose.”


    After saying that, Tomas thought for a while before saying to the other man, “Master Wallman, I suggest


    that we leave this matter as it is for today. About six hundred thousand of them hade in, but now


    only about two hundred thousand of them are left. Furthermore, the Bloodshed n and the Nine Armies


    have lost so many people. Let’s just stop for today. Otherwise, neither side will get anything good out of


    this!”


    “Hmph. I can’t decide anything on today’s matter, so I’ll take my leave first. As for what we will doter, I


    think the bigger ns in the Alliance Guard will only decide after having a discussion!”

    Josh gave a cold harrumph and quickly waved his hand, leading everyone away.


    “We’re leaving just like that, Master Wallman?”


    After flying for a while, an Elder from the Bloodshed n asked Josh, dissatisfied.

    Josh stopped and red at him. “Of course. Why would we stay there and not leave? If we truly fight


    against them, we won’t be their match. If Tomas wasn’t afraid that their n would suffer great losses if


    we truly fought while he also did not want his n to suffer, he probably wouldn’t have let us go either!”

    “Then-then what should the Bloodshed n do? We’re only left with thirty thousand people!”


    The old man heaved a sigh, at a loss.


    Josh was stunned for a while, then he quickly told the Bloodshed n while smiling, “Your Bloodshed


    n is no longer considered a proper n. Never mind your remaining numbers—even if you returned


    to the n Association, the forces that you offended before might even give you trouble. Are you really


    that willing to allow your n to die off or be dispersed just like that?”


    Here, Josh paused for a while before continuing, “That’s why I think the remaining thirty thousand of you


    should join our n. This way, the Sword King n will grow a little stronger, and all of your disciples will


    be able to survive. Of course, those of you who are at the ninth-grade ultimate god level will still be


    treated like Elders once you join our n as if you were our own!”


    “We wish to join! We’re willing to!”.


    The Fifth Elder and the others all cried out. After all, the Sword King n was a lot stronger than the


    Bloodshed n. Furthermore, their Elders would still be treated like Elders once they joined their n.


    This was a good thing. Why would they not rejoice?


    “All right, all right. Let’s go. Let’s return to the n Association first. We’ll get all of you registered once


    we get back, arrange amodation and give each of you a token!”


    Josh was delighted. This was not a pointless trip after all. Although the Bloodshed n was no more, the


    Sword King n had suddenly grown a lot stronger. This way, the ns that were once almost as


    powerful as them would probably admire them now.


    Chapter 1847


    “Phew! They’re finally gone! It’s fortunate that you and your men came in time, Master Tomas!”

    After Josh and the others left the ce, the First Fortress Master of the Nine Armies — Austin Drago-


    heaved a long sigh of relief. Before the Pavilion of Billow Cloud arrived, he was truly in aplete state


    of panic, fearing that if they really needed to be in a battle with the Sword King n, they would not be


    able to defeat them.


    “Hahaha! I didn’t expect that you could make that Bloodsh*t n suffered such a great loss! Bloodshed


    n is now at its end. Yup. No more Bloodshed n! Hmmm… Bloodshed n is the nearest Alliance


    Guard to you and they oftene to this forest to hunt for treasures. Now that they are gone, there won’t


    be any peopleing over to fight for training resources with you Guys!”


    Tomasughed aloud, and then added, “And it’d be so much easier for the Nine Armies to develop and


    expand!”


    Nheless, a few lines formed between Austin’s brows as he heard it. “It’s true that the Bloodshed n


    has suffered great loss. But, there are too many people from the abandoned world who have entered this


    ce! I don’t think the Alliance Guard will turn a blind eye to this matter. Sigh! What should we do next?”


    Austin spilled out all his concerns.


    Tomas, too, furrowed upon hearing. “Don’t worry for now. When the people of the Sword King n return


    to their ce, they would definitely tell the higher superiors about the situation, and they would definitely


    hold a meeting to discuss this matter. After all, it’s a serious matter! Hmmm… This time, the Nine Armies


    suffered severe losses as well. I actually have two ideas!”


    “You have ideas? What are those?”


    Austin looked at the other party with an expectant expression.


    Tomas then exined, “First option, to prevent the people of the Alliance Guard fromunching sudden


    attacks on all of you, I’d suggest that those who came from the abandoned world seek shelter under the


    Pavilion of Billow Cloud, or even be part of us! The second option, they could stay in this ce with the


    people of the Nine Armies, after all, the Nine Armies have suffered great loss, and in case the Sword


    King n attacks any of you after we left, you have these people.”


    Austin thought carefully about the suggestions before saying, “If I were to propose, it’d be better for


    Jackie and his group to stay on this side of the Nine Armies. The cultivation and training resources inside


    this forest are good for them too. Furthermore, it’s highly likely that the Alliance Guard thinks that these


    people will go with the Pavilion of Billow Cloud and will not stay with the Nine Armies. In that way, we’ll


    be safer too!”


    “Hmmm. Why not ask them? They’ll decide for themselves!”


    Tomas thought for a while then proposed, “I think the Alliance Guard will not want to wage war against


    the Nine Armies, but they will not let the matter of the Bloodshed n go as well. The higher


    management in Alliance Guard will not ignore it. So, I think they will send some ns whose overall


    combat power is above average to find trouble with you!”


    Tomas then informed Jackie, Lily, and the others about the situation, and let them decide for themselves.


    After giving the matter some thought, Jackie finally decided to stay with the Nine Armies, while Lily and


    those thirty thousand people from the Hall of Divine Royal decided to follow the Pavilion of Billow Cloud.


    They even want to be part of them!


    The people of the Pavilion of Billow Cloud were naturally happy to have thirty thousand people join their


    sect, and among these people, some of them had broken through to the first-grade ultimate god level!


    Soon, the Pavilion of Billow Cloud brought the new joiners and left the ce.


    “Let’s collect our spoils of war!”


    Looking at those corpses on the ground, Austin ordered.


    Chapter 1848 “Brother Jackie, thank you for choosing to stay. I thought you would choose to go with the


    Pavilion of Billow Cloud. After all, they’re more powerful than us, not to mention that they have slightly


    more soul prating level fighters than we do. The Master of the Pavilion of Billow Cloud is even at the


    second-grade soul-prating level!”


    After the big crowd left the scene, Austin looked at Jackie and his group with a grateful face. The Nine


    Armies lost a lot this time, so he was really afraid that Jackie and his men would decide to go with the


    Pavilion of Billow Cloud, and the Nine Armies would be in huge trouble if the Alliance Guard sent their


    underlings to seek trouble.


    Nheless, Jackie smiled lightly and said, “I don’t think that my elder brother, Lance will forgive me that


    easily. He’s now the disciple of the First Elder of the Pavilion of Billow Cloud. So that’s no way I’d go with


    them. Besides, we suddenly barged into this ce and put you guys in danger, and I truly feel sorry


    about that. So, I think it’s better and wiser for us to stay with you guys, going through thick and thin


    together!”


    Jackie’s words made Austin feel guilty and ashamed of himself because they knew that they were no


    match for the Bloodshed n and decided to wait, at the same time, somewhat reluctant to help Jackie


    and the group. However, Jackie and his group in the end still decided to go through thick and thin with


    them, when they could have secretly left the forest when the Nine Armies were fighting with the


    Bloodshed n.


    “Young Master Jackie, no matter what, we’re stuck with you! We don’t want to follow those people at all!


    After all, those who are from the Hall of Divine Royal decided to join the Pavilion of Billow Cloud, and we


    despised being under the same n with them!”


    The head of a second-ss family said to Jackie after thinking for a brief moment.


    “He’s right, Young Master Jackie! Although the Pavilion of Billow Cloud is strong and powerful, we have


    faith in you! We believe that once you break through to the soul prating realm, the Pavilion of Billow


    Cloud is nothing to you!”


    Another head of a third-ss family immediately chimed in and looked at Jackie with a smile.


    They all knew very well in their hearts that Jackie was a third-grade alchemist, and although the Pavilion


    of Billow Cloud might appear to be strong and powerful right now, as long as Jackie had time to refine


    pills and distribute them to the others, they all would be able to improve their martial status in no time.


    Moreover, Jackie was a master among the masters; it would be the wisest and the most promising


    choice to follow Jackie.


    Jackie did not know whether to cry orugh after hearing all these boot-lickingpliments from these


    family heads.


    He then looked at Austin and handed him a healing pill. “First Fortress Master, I made this healing pill


    and it’s quite effective. Take it and you shall recover from your injuries in no time.”


    “Thank you!”


    Austin had healing pills as well, but since Jackie had offered him his, he did not want to reject his


    kindness. So, he epted Jackie’s healing pill with a smile on his face and swallowed the pills. “Fortress


    Master Whittemore will arrange ces for all of you to stay! On top of that, we’ll send several men to


    keep an eye on the peaks of the hills, and once we find anomalies or people from the Alliance Guard


    approaching this ce, we can be notified immediately and prepare in advance!”


    Fané nodded his head in agreement. “The Sword King n will definitely report to their superiors and


    they will hold discussion over it. And this back and forth effort will take some time, at least a month I


    guess. So, we’re rtively safe for at least a month, and within this one month, we shall improve our


    martial status! It’s the golden opportunity for us to train and improve ourselves!”


    “Heh? But how much can we improve in Just a month’s time?”.


    Austin smiled bitterly upon hearing Jackie’s words. “Raising the martial level in one month? Right, even if


    some demi-god level fighters are able to break into the early stage of True God Realm, it’s not much use


    for us. What we need are fighters with ultimate god level or soul-prating level! Only if we could have


    more people with soul-prating level!”


    “Haha! Don’t worry about that. I’m certain that someone among us will break into the soul-prating


    realm within a month!”


    Jackie chuckled and responded.


    Chapter 1849 Austin thought that Jackie was bragging, but he did not bother to deny the other party.


    Austin then continued, “Right, Brother Jackie, you have more than a hundred thousand people with you,


    but they’re all from different ns and families, and the situation is simr to the Nine Armies back then-


    the Nine Armies came from different forces. Hmmm… I have a suggestion, but I’m not sure if it’s


    appropriate for me to propose it.”


    “Is that so? Please go ahead, First Fortress Master!”


    Jackie bowed to Austin politely and said, “Since we have decided to stay, we’re all in the same boat


    moving forward, and don’t worry about our loyalty toward you. We’ll definitely not have second thoughts


    nor will we have ns against you!”


    “That’s for sure! We’re in this together and we fight together! Our people will not have second thoughts or


    evil ns against you too! You have my word!”


    Austin bobbed his head and then gave his idea, “Brother Jackie, the idea is simple. You have many men


    of different ns and families, and the Nine Armies are the same too! Why…why don’t we build a n


    together? We can all be one n! What do you think?”


    “Build a n? Hmmm… It would be easier to manage and we can gather all the power and strength


    together then everyone won’t be suspicious nor jealous of one another. Right?”


    Jackie frowned; he immediately understood the underlying intention of this proposal.


    Right now, Austin possessed the strongest and highest martial level, and although Jackie had the


    numbers on his side, there were not many fighters with high martial levels. So, if both sides agreed to


    form a n, Austin naturally wanted to be the n master.


    If he became the n master, did not it mean that Jackie and his men would have to listen to him in the


    future? If this was the case, it was highly likely that Jackie and his group would not receive the same


    treatment and benefits as those people who were originally from the Nine Armies. Even worse, they


    might have to hand over the training materials and resources that they had scavenged in the forest!


    That also includes Jackie’s refined pills! He would have to hand those pills to the n as a contribution. It


    was for sure that Austin would not treat Jackie badly after knowing that Jackie was an excellent


    alchemist, but Jackie was unable to take special care of Nash nor Alejandro anymore if he wanted to


    help them raise their martial level.


    “What do you think? The idea is good, right?”


    Austin noticed the frown on Jackie’s forehead; he immediately probed further.


    Before Jackie could reply, a fortress master next to him interrupted, “That’s a great idea! We have around


    260 thousand people in total and coupled with Brother Jackie’s amazing talent that isparable to a


    fighter of the first-grade soul-prating level, we now have two soul-prating level fighters and it’s


    time for us to set up a new n!”


    “Yes, they’re right! It’s indeed an excellent idea! But we had just experienced a tough battle, so it’s better


    for us to rest and recover for the time being. And after some time had passed, we could then hold the


    election for master and vice-master of the n, how about that?”


    The First Elder—who was beside the First Fortress Master-stood up and spilled his opinion. He believed


    that if Austin became the master of the n, the chances of him bing the vice-master would be


    high.


    Jackie’sbat power was strong, but his martial level was not that high. Furthermore, only people at


    the eighth grade and ninth-grade ultimate god level were eligible to be voters in the election.


    “Hmmm… It’s possible to do that. But many of us here are injured and need time to recuperate. Let’s do


    it this way, we will elect the n master and the vice-n master after half a month, what do you think?”


    Chapter 1850


    “Sure! Not a problem! We just went through a tough battle, we should really rest and recuperate for the


    time being. Take your time to rest and recover, even if it takes twenty days!”


    Austin’s heart leaped up for joy; this was a great opportunity to take these people into his n and have


    control over them.


    Jackie and his group had the number, and the best thing was that in addition to Jackie, there were


    several sixth-grade ultimate god level fighters and a fifth-grade ultimate god level fighter in the group.


    They were not weak at all and theirbat prowess was also strong!


    Furthermore, they had quite a few people of first-grade ultimate god level.


    Once he took in Jackie and his men, the overallbat power of his men would eventually increase.


    “Good! Then let’s do as you said! Let’s rest for twenty days and we will hold an election after twenty


    days!”


    Jackie replied with a smile hanging on his face.


    Austin was rendered speechless; he did not expect this oue at all—Jackie earned another five days!


    However, he believed that even if he generously gave Jackie thirty days, the position of n master


    would definitely still be his.


    Therefore, Austin did not pester the matter further. He then flew into the sky and announced loudly,


    “Ladies and gentlemen, I have had a discussion with Brother Jackie and the Nine Armies are willing to


    take everyone in. We will all get along like real brothers and sisters. Even though we alle from


    different ns and families, prominent ones and smaller ones, we have decided to build a new n for


    unity! From now on, we are all from the same n, one big n, and there’s no distinction between the


    Nine Armies or the other ns!”


    The people of the Nine Armies naturally apuded and cheered upon cheering the great news, while


    Jackie and the others naturally followed the crowd, apuding and cheering for the new arrangement.


    However, inside their hearts, they all knew very well that once they merged and formed a new n,


    Jackie and the others like Nash or Alejandro would no longer have a say in the new n.


    Nheless, overall, it was still an advantage. To be taken in by the AntiAlliance Guard was at least


    better than having no ns to take care of them at all. It was better than being hunted down by the


    Alliance Guard.


    Austin nodded in satisfaction when he saw everyone cheering and apuding for this new formation. He


    then signaled everyone to quiet down and said, “However, since we’ve just gone through a very tough


    battle, we should rest and recover for twenty days! Then we will hold an election in twenty days! But,


    because there are too many people, we’ll do it this way; only people withbat powers of the fifth-


    grade ultimate god level and above are eligible to vote in this election, and every eligible voter has only


    one ballot. We will elect our master and vice-master in this election.


    The newly elected master will decide the future direction of the n; the newly elected master also has


    absolute power and everyone must respect and obey the master!”


    The crowd apuded again at Austin’s speech. After a while, the battlefield was cleared up. The head of


    the Whittemore Fortress then led Jackie and the others away and arranged a ce for them to stay.


    The evening came by quickly. Nash, Alejandro, and those men with higher martial levels gathered at


    Jackie’s residence.


    “Young Master Jackie, Austin is sneaky. His idea was basically in his favor; he wanted to absorb us, and


    he even had the other fortress masterspletely grasped in his hands!”


    Alejandro felt a flicker of irritation when he thought about what happened this afternoon.
