Chaotic Sword God Chapter 590: A Friend has Come

Chapter 590: A Friend has Co

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. During these two months, the Fla rcenaries had exponentially expanded and earned a place as one of the strongest rcenary groups in the Blue Wind Kingdom. A group that stood on top of the other leading factions and even the royal palace itself.

Up to this point, only the strongest families and factions had been able to prevent themselves from being subjugated by Jian Chen.

A large mansion was situated at the very center of a First Class city called Wanzhu City. This mansion had originally belonged to the strongest power within that city, but had now been reclaid to beco the living area of the Fla rcenaries for the ti being. Even the naboard at the very front had been swapped for the emblem of the Fla rcenaries.

At this current mont within the magnificent halls of the mansion, Jian Chen and the strongest hundred mbers were all gathered around a table to discuss several important manners. For the mont, the rest of the rcenaries were all stationed outside the city in a clearing since they could not all enter the city at the sa ti.

“Captain, only three out of the six strongest families in the Blue Wind Kingdom were willing to join our Fla rcenaries. The other three would rather die than submit.” Zhan Tian dutifully reported. He was one of the first to join the Fla rcenaries and was also one of the three Earth Saint Masters from the Carnage rcenaries, and had been given the right to speak for the entire group.

From his seat at the very front of the table, Jian Chen revealed a small grin on his face as he took in the news from Zhan Tian. “Three of them were willing to submit I see. Not bad, I wasn’t expecting as much at first. Which three have agreed?”

Not long after he finished speaking, two middle-aged n and an elder co walking over with respectful salutes and greetings.

“This one is Shi Wanjun, representative for the Dayong clan. We of the Dayong clan would be happy to join the Fla rcenaries and hope that we may follow the honorable captain into the brilliant light.”

“This one is An Situ, representative of the Domineering Heavens sect. We would be happy to join the Fla rcenaries...”

“This one is Dick-Parosi, delegate of the Shuilan clan. We are willing to join your Fla rcenaries...”

These three n were all Earth Saint Masters at about the Fourth or Fifth Cycle. The parties they represented were among the strongest powers in the Blue Wind Kingdom and once had a Heaven Saint Master presiding over them. However, those Heaven Saint Masters had been killed in the war with the Gesun Kingdom.

Staring at the three humble and respectful n, Jian Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, “I welco you into the family that is the Fla rcenaries. From henceforth, we are all family. As long as you work with the Fla rcenaries in mind, then I, Jian Chen, pledge to never treat any one of you wrong.”

“I declare that the Dayong clan, the Domineering Heavens sect, and the Shuilan clan, will change their nas to that of the Halls of Dayong, Domineering Heaven, and Shuilan. And you three will still lead your respective hall.”

Jian Chen had no desire to expunge anyone of their power upon entry into the Fla rcenaries. The only thing that would change would be their goals; their relative power would remain untouched, but any sect or clan would be changed to a ‘hall’.

“A thousand thanks for captain’s charity!” The three n clapped their hands together in salute. All three of them had been worried that their authority would be stripped away from them the mont they joined the Fla rcenaries.

Sitting on his seat while deep thought, Jian Chen said, “Zhan Tian, take so people to Loess City and eliminate the Harido clan.”

“A report for the captain. Rumors have it that the Harido clan vacated Loess City a long ti ago. According to our sa sources, they’ve fled the Blue Wind Kingdom already.” A black-robed elder spoke.

“What? They’ve already left the kingdom?” Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed for a mont before he waved his hand with a small smile. “They act quite fast. If I had known that they would flee earlier, I would have moved to deal with them sooner.”

“Captain, why don’t we dispatch a team to chase after them?” Zhan Tian asked.

Giving it a second to think about, Jian Chen replied, “No need. I will handle the Harido clan myself since they’re no longer a threat to worry about. Unless their leader is able to beco a Heaven Saint Master, they won’t be able to do anything in the anwhile. Even if he becos a Heaven Saint Master in the next twenty years, our Fla rcenaries will have grown strong enough to deal with them. Even if I’m not here, a single Heaven Saint Master won’t be able to asure up to the strength of the entire Fla rcenaries. They’ve decided to run away from the kingdom for now, so we don’t even need to bother with them.”

“Then captain, what shall we do about the three factions that chose death over submission?” An elder asked from the side.

Jian Chen leaned back in his chair while his fingers kneaded. He realized that leading the Fla rcenaries was becoming more and more of a headache. It was no longer as easy as before where he could act as he pleased. Back then he was the only mber and didn’t require such heavy consideration.

“Everyone, why don’t you inform of your ideas.” Jian Chen suggested.

“Captain, since the Fla rcenaries have beco so strong and those three factions refuse to submit, we shouldn’t let things lie there. We should eliminate them all. Let them serve as an example to the world of our strength.”

“Captain, we should avoid that at all costs. The remaining three factions still have two Heaven Saint Masters within their reach and a considerable amount of Earth Saint Masters. If those three join hands, then they will beco an enemy that will deal a considerable amount of harm to us. Should we fight them, then we would anger even the kingdom itself. If they mobilize the entire army, then our Fla rcenaries would suffer even more.”

“Captain, those three factions are not to be belittled. We have no conflict with them, and even if they would rather die than submit, it is not worth going to war with them only to suffer a disastrous result. The ends do not make up for the ans.”

Everyone ca to different conclusions about how to handle the situation. On one hand, so wanted to eliminate the group. On the other hand, so wanted to forgive and let them be.

From where she stood by the side, Bi Lian hesitated to speak for a brief second. Finally she gave her input, “Brother, there is no conflict between us and the three factions. We don’t have any real need to subjugate them, and we should forget about them for now since they’re willing to die rather than to submit. With two Heaven Saint Masters, they’d cause a lot of damage if they join together since our Fla rcenaries have no other Heaven Saint Master besides you, brother.”

“Bi Lian and I share the sa opinion.” You Yue agreed with her.

Everyone grew quiet when the two of them spoke. They all knew that these two won were both very close to the captain, and thus they were not willing to say anything else.

Jian Chen wasted no ti to agree with the two of them, “If that is so, we’ll forget about this matter for now. Well, today’s eting shall end here then. You may all leave and make the preparations for whatever necessities you need. In three days, we leave the Blue Wind Kingdom.”

“Yes, captain!” Everyone agreed before leaving the halls.

After the eting was adjourned, Jian Chen returned to his own room. He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. His fingers gently tapped against his temples. Now that the Fla rcenaries had exploded in scale, it took even longer to consider and think everything through, causing Jian Chen so fatigue.

Suddenly, the doors opened to reveal You Yue wearing a pink long-skirt as she walked into the room. When she saw Jian Chen rubbing his temples, she revealed a concerned look on her face, “Jian Chen.” She softly continued, “Managing the Fla rcenaries is a tireso task, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It really is quite tireso. Now that the Fla rcenaries have grown, there is far too much to consider and far too many factors to think about. It is only now that I realize how trendous a task it is to manage such an enormous group. Aside from having an equally trendous amount of power, one must not neglect being able to control and manage everything.” Jian Chen replied while massaging his headache.

Choosing to sit on a nearby chair, You Yue said, “You could delegate these small affairs to soone else you know.”

“There aren’t many that I could trust. Aside from the group we travel with, there are no other capable people. Ming Dong is the vice-captain, but I know his nature — he isn’t cut out for sothing like this. Dugu Feng does not have the power, and Tie Ta is further away from such a position. The only ones left would be you and Bi Lian.” Jian Chen sighed. Then his eyes flew open as he looked to You Yue, “You Yue, I know that you’ve been an intelligent person since childhood and spent years learning in Kargath Academy while growing up in the palace. If I have you and Bi Lian govern the Fla rcenaries, do you believe that you would be able to do the group well?”

You Yue was pleasantly surprised to hear the words that had co out of Jian Chen’s mouth, “What? Jian Chen, do you really think Bi Lian and I should be governing the Fla rcenaries?”

Sitting up, Jian Chen faced her with an earnest expression, “I do. If you have the ability to govern, then I would be willing to allow you to do so in my place.”

“That would be great, Jian Chen. You may rest assured. Bi Lian and I won’t let you down.” You Yue excitedly replied.

Just then, Ming Dong walked into the room. When he saw the happy You Yue by his side, Ming Dong stared suspiciously at Jian Chen, “Brother, you’ve a friend here to see you.”

“Who?” Jian Chen asked.

“You’ll know when you co.” Ming Dong smiled mischievously.

Suspicious of his actions, Jian Chen followed Ming Dong out of the room and into the open courtyards of the mansion with You Yue following him from behind.

Soon enough, Jian Chen arrived at the gates to the building, but when he saw just who this “familiar” person Ming Dong had referred to, the expression on his face solidified into one of astonishnt.

The friend in question was Huang Luan.
