"You are being too enthusiastic here gentlen. You are giving an outsider way too many privileges, don’t you think?"
One of the powerhouses, a lady with a ssy bun on her head, Jaan, spoke.
Parth didn’t mind her tone or the accusation. He just asked.
"Then please offer so suggestions. I am all open for it."
"If you let him attack the wilderness under the control of others, that could quickly escalate into war. In fact, even though many of the forests and seas are not in official control of so territories, they are still used as hunting grounds and resource points by many factions.
If you just give him free reign like that... don’t you think it will be detrintal to a lot of people?" Jaan expressed her opinion.
"Of course, it would be. That’s the point of conquest. To gain authority over sothing that doesn’t belong to you and belongs to soone else. He claid that he ca here to conquer land. Let’s give him a way to do that, with so restrictions."
"I still don’t understand why we should even entertain his presence."
"For starters... I like the kid. Secondly, Myrmon made a promise that he didn’t think through. And lastly, I don’t really see a point of why we shouldn’t do it. In fact, in my opinion, allowing is the best option we have."
"And why is that?"
"I can cut a deal with him. In exchange for information. There are multiple people, so people even at our level that’s going to co to Darkhan.
Think guy can provide info about them to us, before they co here. We are ceding so territory to this kid, in exchange for the power houses to not just barge in.
Anyway, from the preliminary info I got, there are at least 200 powerhouses of our level in their realm. Even if we can fend off against them, there is no way for us to consistently defend their attacks if they co after our villages and such.
I also go to know that through these portals, only they can enter, but we can’t. At least for the next five years.
Even after that, our access to the other side opens gradually.
We are people bound by honor. But the sa couldn’t be told about them. If they get despicable, even if we won in the end, the price would be too steep.
So, exchanging information is our priority." Parth explained his reasoning and there was a sudden silence all over the room. Even Jaan grew a frown on her face.
When Parth ntioned the conquest in the first eting, everyone was more or less curious and excited. They didn’t ask for more details, mainly because they are confident in their own strength.
But now... almost two hundred. The lack of honor...
They indeed can’t risk it.
"I agree with you. But how can we ensure that you can get the exact information that we want? After all, our strategies and focus are different things." This ti it was a different powerhouse.
Parth didn’t even think before answering.
"It’s easy. We can give him open access of communication with all 48 heads here. It’s a two way communication. Just like how he has to fight for the land, we also have to earn the info ourselves.
Whatever info anyone wants, you can just communicate with him, negotiate the details and get it yourselves.
And no threatening allowed. I will be the first one to oppose it.
Even if a youngster from your organization threatens him, I will be the first one to co knocking on your doors for an explanation."
"Alright, you don’t have to constantly threaten people left and right. You know you have given too many words and made too many threats. What if you forget them at one point?" Shin joked to ease the tension.
Parth ignored him and said.
"I am being serious right now. If anyone wants to invade his territory, it’s fine. But the maximum strength of that person should be the maximum strength of people in Sam’s party. That’s the line I draw. No one shall cross it."
"We got it." This ti, all 47 people answered in unison. This had happened before. More than once.
They discussed a few more details and Parth left.
The next morning. By sunrise.
Parth went to Sam’s Island.
Sam ca out to greet him and even led him inside.
They sat at the sa table as before and Sam lay out so spread of at.
"I am experinting with the at of the beasts I caught. Let know what you think. Any feedback would be helpful."
"Thank you. I will help myself then."
Parth started eating and talking at the sa ti.
"As I said before, they agreed and there were so conditions.
You can go after all the wilderness and the sea. In fact, most of those two are occupied by different beasts. There was almost no human control.
Even if there was so human control over so of those areas, you can try and conquer it.
Any area that you conquered, can also be tried and taken back by other people. But I made a condition on your behalf that only people that match the cultivation level of your highest cultivators are allowed.
..."
Parth went on and explained the conditions.
"That was quite generous. So, what’s the catch?"
"You know there are so conditions?"
"Of course, I know. There is no way, all your leaders are so pleased with my charming personality that they gave up such a generous offer."
"Alright, I will be straight. It’s simple.
All the leaders are interested in the information about the academy realm. They want to have access to communicate with you to get that information."
Sam almost laughed out loud.
"You ca to the right person. No one, not even Bloody Chariot could guarantee he has more info on academy realm than I did."
"Don’t tell , you started boasting now instead of ."
This ti, Sam just smiled. He didn’t answer it and explained another plan that he had.
