Chapter 489 -490: Three Clans Join (3rd Update)

“Courier?” Upon hearing this, an elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan couldn’t help but smile. “What a picturesque and intriguing title. Emperor Lin’s idea is truly brilliant. But if our clan were to become these couriers, there would indeed be some form of compensation, right?”

“Indeed, that is certain.”

“In that case, Emperor Lin, might you inform us what the compensation entails?” the elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan asked curiously as he looked at Lin Qian. At this moment, since their clan’s future was at stake, he couldn’t afford to be anything but cautious.

If Lin Qian’s response failed to satisfy him, he would have no choice but to lead the Spirit Hoof Clan away, severing ties with the Huaxia Empire.

“The matter of compensation isn’t the responsibility of the Huaxia Empire but is provided by all the citizens of the Huaxia Empire,” Lin Qian explained with a smile upon hearing the elder’s question. “The citizens of the Huaxia Empire will need you to deliver items of varying sizes and weights, and the fees charged will differ accordingly. The couriers from the Spirit Hoof Clan will earn a commission based on their workload—the more deliveries, the more Soul Crystals you earn.”

“Once the smooth delivery service is established, the Huaxia Empire will only send scholars from the Heavenly Art Department for supervision and business guidance. Your Spirit Hoof Clan will take on the primary responsibilities.”

“Once you grow bigger and stronger, you can even expand your operations beyond the borders of the Huaxia Empire to other powers. When the entire Soul Martial Continent is populated with couriers from the Spirit Hoof Clan, the Huaxia Empire will take pride in you,” Lin Qian declared, looking fervently at the elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan. “At that time, your Spirit Hoof Clan will also rise to fame.”

Lin Qian’s words excited the elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan, as the describe future seemed full of limitless possibilities.

At least, much better than their current situation.

“I, Emperor Lin Qian of the Huaxia Empire, hereby swear a soul oath. Today’s promises to the Spirit Hoof Clan are genuine. Should they be false, I shall be turned to dust and smoke.” Just then, the sound of Lin Qian taking a soul oath suddenly resonated in the front hall, startling everyone present.

Especially the elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan, whose gaze towards Lin Qian was filled with shock. He truly hadn’t expected Lin Qian to take a soul oath, which proved the sincerity of his earlier words.

“I can understand your concerns. The four elders of the Human Clan trust me because we belong to the same clan, naturally, they do not need such promises. But since our races are different, merely my words may seem like a fool’s dream to you,” Lin Qian continued, looking at the Spirit Hoof Clan elder. “Taking this soul oath is my demonstration of sincerity.”

“I hope that the Huaxia Empire will not only consist of the Human Clan. I wish for other races to also become members of the Empire, making it stronger and flourishing with diversity.”

The elder from the Spirit Hoof Clan stood up, moved, and saluted Lin Qian. “What a grand ambition, I, Ling Jiu, am eager to witness that day, Your Majesty.”

“Welcome to the Huaxia Empire, Elder Ling Jiu,” Lin Qian responded with a smile, rising to his feet and approaching him, clasping his hands. “I will not disappoint you.”

“Let us wait and see.” Ling Jiu also smiled broadly at this moment.

Seeing this, the elder from the Dwarf Clan couldn’t sit still any longer, standing up and asking Lin Qian, “After our Dwarf Clan joins the Huaxia Empire, may we enter the Fire Department?” ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Of course, gathering the best of all clans is the true path to supremacy,” Lin Qian replied with a smile, looking at the Dwarf Clan’s elder Lu Shengshou. “One day, if the Fire Department can bring together various races skilled in Artifact Refining and manufacturing, capable of handling and creating an assortment of styles, that would be perfect.”

Lin Qian’s words made the eyes of the Dwarf Clan’s elder Lu Shengshou sparkle as he grabbed Lin Qian’s hands eagerly. “Then my Dwarf Clan too is willing to join the Huaxia Empire. There’s no need for you to swear any soul oath now; your sincerity earlier is quite clear to me.”

“However, there’s another matter I need to ask you about—those giant metal ships that can fly. May our Dwarf Clan participate in their making?”

In Lu Shengshou’s hopeful gaze, Lin Qian nodded affirmatively. “Naturally, you can, but there will be very strict selection, and a soul oath must be taken to ensure confidentiality before you can participate.”

“But the most critical part will be even more stringent, handled only by those I trust,” the Emperor stated. “I believe you can understand why.”

After Lin Qian finished speaking, Lu Shengshou nodded, “Indeed, such powerful tools must be kept confidential, or the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Once the Dwarf Clan had made their oath of the inner demon, the likelihood of leaks would be nil. However, to ensure safety, only the male artisans of the Huaxia Empire on Xuanhuan Star could handle the core aspects.

Both Ling Jiu and Lu Shengshou then looked towards Bade.

“The Red Horn Clan respects and believes in the strong,” Bade began as he stood and approached Lin Qian to bow. “Your Majesty, I hope you will not forget the promise you made today, let us witness the strength of a true empire.”

“In this empire, there will be no enslavement or oppression; all shall be treated as equals.”

Lin Qian gazed at the clan elders of the three races, nodding slowly, “Rest assured, my empire will surely not disappoint you.”

“Your Majesty, regarding Black Corner Country, what should be done next?” Now allied with the Huaxia Empire, Bade was the first to speak, his eyes filled with a strong will to fight, “If Your Majesty requires it, the Red Horn Clan is always ready to be dispatched.”

Now, Bade’s eyes were filled with confidence; the power of the Four Clans had grown significantly.

With Lin Qian’s presence, the Human Clan had regained its normal strength, no longer presenting the weakened state of the past; they now possessed the means to confront Black Corner Country.

The tyrannical Black Corner Country was about to be completely annihilated.

“To deal with Black Corner Country, the three clan elders need only lift a finger; no other clan members need to intervene.” After Bade made the suggestion, Lin Qian immediately responded, “Handling the war against Black Corner Country should be left to the Imperial Army and War Beast Army of the Huaxia Empire.”

Lin Qian’s response left the three clan elders looking at each other, evidently confused as to why they were not needed.

“Even the Human Clan in the Ancient Forest World won’t need to take part,” Lin Qian continued upon seeing their puzzled expressions. “Your clansmen haven’t received specialized training and can’t adapt to the combat style of the Huaxia Empire.”

“In fact, your combat strength would only serve as a rescue measure, a mere enhancement, having no decisive role.”

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the three clan elders appeared bewildered, looking toward him, “Then, what should our three clans do?”

“When the time comes, I will dispatch scribes from the Heavenly Art Department to create certificates; only then can your three clans truly become citizens of the Huaxia Empire,” Lin Qian replied, pausing briefly before continuing, “I will soon capture a large amount of Black Corner Country’s towns and will also need your three clans’ help in managing them.”

“When will the battle formations against Black Corner Country commence?” Bade asked curiously as he gazed at Lin Qian.

Emperor’s Eyes!

At that moment, Lin Qian’s eyes already shimmered with a golden glow, his expression solemn, “It has already begun!”
