Magical beasts can even forcibly terminate the contract at a certain cost.
In other words, the binding force of this contract is not strong.
This human before me possesses such formidable strength, yet he has only proposed a condition that is beneficial for the Dragon Wolf Clan, with no apparent drawbacks, which inevitably moves the heart of the Dragon Wolf King.
What made him hesitate was whether the terms were too good to be true.
Noticing the thoughts of the Dragon Wolf King, Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, “Elder, you don’t need to consider anything else.
I am doing this only to ensure that you can feel our sincerity in the cooperation between us in the future.
In my territory, it’s not only your Dragon Wolf Clan that is a different race.
I have many partners, such as the Elf Tribe, the Dwarf race, the Goblin Tribe and so on.
Everyone lives in the same large family, helping each other.
My goal is to establish a haven that no hostile forces can threaten.
Wele to join us, Dragon Wolf Clan.
How about this, I can make a contract with you, limited to one year.
If after a year, you find that my territory is not suitable for you and your tribesmen, you can migrate back at any time.
I can even ask Glacis to help you retake the territory in the northeast of Frosty Forest that you currently hold, what do you think?”
Ye Yinzhu’s words left the Dragon Wolf King with little reason to refuse.
He nodded solemnly and said, “Let’s do it according to what you said.
Please establish the contract.” For him, forming a contract was the safest method.
He had to be cautious for the sake of his tribespeople.
Under the witness of the Four Sacred Beasts, Ye Yinzhu and the Dragon Wolf King formed a one-year contract.
Feeling the power of the contract bestowed by the heavens, the Dragon Wolf King’s mood finally relaxed.
He silently wondered whether his decision would lead his people to a bright path or to the abyss of destruction.
But no matter what, he really had no other choice.
The reason he decided to trust Ye Yinzhu was largely because Ye Yinzhu, in a position of absolute power, had fully considered the feelings of the Dragon Wolf Clan, which left him with a very good impression.
“Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, where is your territory?
Should we set off right now?” asked the Dragon Wolf King to Ye Yinzhu.
At the strong insistence of Glacis, he also addressed Ye Yinzhu as the Zither Emperor.
Of course, Glacis had also self-proclaimed the title of ‘Ice Emperor’, which was his own wishful thinking.
Ye Yinzhu said, “I have another important matter to attend to.
Elder Dragon Wolf, may I know how many people are in your tribe currently?”
The Dragon Wolf King answered, “After so many years of recuperation, although we have dragon lineage and our reproductive ability is much lower than that of ordinary wolves, it is still much stronger than that of the dragons.
Currently, my tribe has a total of more than five hundred members, with over three hundred in the prime of their life.
We can fully meet the terms of our agreement.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled with satisfaction and said, “Then let’s leave now.
My territory is within the Burna Mountain Range at the boundary of the Northernmost Wilderness.
Once we get there, I will designate a mountain specifically for your tribe as your territory, and provide your people with food and necessities.
However, you must remind your tribespeople, after joining my Qin City, not to have conflicts with other races.
We are all partners here.”
“Naturally, as long as no one attacks us Dragon Wolves first, we will not initiate conflict with others.”
The Dragon Wolf Clan had nothing to hold on to in Frosty Forest, and it took the Dragon Wolf King just two hours to rally his tribe, including his only son, a rank 8 Dragon Wolf.
The entire clan, totaling five hundred and sixty-three Dragon Wolves, followed Ye Yinzhu, Sura, Zi, and Ming towards Ming Hui’s territory.
Walking all the way back to Qin City was clearly not a good choice, so Ye Yinzhu opted for teleportation.
However, the size of the Dragon Wolves was too large; direct teleportation might have burst his Lord’s Mansion.
Therefore, after arriving at Ming Hui’s ice cave, Ye Yinzhu first teleported himself, Zi, Ming, and Glacis back to Qin City.
After making quick arrangements, he then returned to Frosty Forest and, using the Life Storage Gem, teleported the entire Dragon Wolf Clan back to Qin City in six separate trips.
Anya arranged for the Dragon Wolf Clan on a steep mountain peak not far from the Dwarf race.
This mountain peak had many natural caves, which were most suitable for a species like the Dragon Wolves to settle.
After a brief survey of Qin City, the Dragon Wolf King was quite satisfied with the place.
Henceforth, Qin City acquired its fifth different race, setting the foundation for Ye Yinzhu’s future elite force, the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry.
After returning to Qin City, Ye Yinzhu received some good news.
Three acquaintances had already arrived in Qin City.
Among them were Chang Hao from the Chess Sect and Ma Liang from the Hua Sect, who had left Milan upon receiving orders from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
They were originally going to return directly to the headquarters of the Eight Sects, but upon arriving there, they found out that the Eight Sects had already relocated to Qin City and thus, they hurriedly made their way over.
The other person was the strongest of the third generation of the Zi Luolan Family, Venus Dragon Knight Oliveira, whom Ye Yinzhu had strongly requested Nina to send to “supervise” him.
Nina and Qin Shang had already left Qin City.
Before departing, she informed Martin via magical munication.
Martin did not have any plaints about sending Oliveira to Ye Yinzhu’s side.
After Oliveira followed Ye Yinzhu to participate in the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle, his strength had improved substantially.
Considering Ye Yinzhu’s successful power demonstrated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation victory, as well as the secret pact between Nina and Ye Yinzhu, the Marshal immediately sensed a promising future for Qin City.
“Yin Zhu, I never thought we’d be able to fight side by side again.” Looking at Ye Yinzhu, Oliveira couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Not so long ago, he had watched Ye Yinzhu single-handedly turn the tide through the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Once upon a time, he was the top student at the Milan Magic Martial Academy, but now that title seemed so laughable.
At first, Oliveira always pared himself to Ye Yinzhu in secret, hoping to surpass this prodigy of the Divine Music Department.
But now, it seemed that the gap between them was only widening further.
Yet, he wholeheartedly acknowledged Ye Yinzhu’s strength.
Without going into details, Oliveira knew he couldn’t pare to what Ye Yinzhu had achieved during the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle.
Perhaps in terms of military strategy, Ye Yinzhu was slightly inferior to him, but he couldn’t match Ye Yinzhu’s personal leadership and charisma.
“Brother Oliveira, how have you been?” Ye Yinzhu asked with a smile, giving Oliveira a hug.
Oliveira replied with a bitter smile, “Not very good at all.
Not to mention that you’ve pletely shattered our Zi Luolan family’s dignity.
Now, the Beastmen at Thor Hammer Fort are attacking the Northern Legion like madmen.
And according to the information we have received, the Beastman Army from War God Fortress will soon arrive at the front line—the situation is tense.
If it weren’t for the numerous mages your second grandfather brought with him this time, we would probably be unable to hold on.”
Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Grandpa Martin bears the title ‘Shield of Milan,’ so even if we can’t wipe out these Beastmen, defending the borders should be no problem.
After all, the Northern Legion is the strongest and most numerous of the Milan Empire’s armies, with close to six hundred thousand troops.
Plus, with the support of Dragon Knights, Dragon Cavalry, and mages, it won’t be easy for the Beastmen to penetrate your defenses.”
Oliveira replied with a wry smile, “That’s true, but looking at the overall situation, our prospects are not optimistic.”
“Oh?
How is the situation in all parts of Milan?
I really don’t know; brother, please tell me.” Ye Yinzhu genuinely admired Oliveira’s military acumen and excellent big-picture understanding.
Oliveira came over to the table beside Ye Yinzhu and took out a sheepskin map from his bosom.
This map was very large.
Spread out on the table, Ye Yinzhu noticed that the map was extremely detailed, showing the entire territory of the Milan Empire.
Pointing on the map, Oliveira said, “Look, this is where our Northern Legion is located, and these arrows I’ve drawn represent the Beastman Army’s rapid assembly.
You’re right, our Northern Legion is full of talent and has the strongest fighting force among all the divisions in Milan.
However, the Beastmen’s offensive is too fierce this time; they are launching desperate attacks without regard for their losses.
Although they can’t break through our defenses, they have dragged all six hundred thousand troops of the entire Northern Legion to the border, leaving no one to spare for any other front.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and replied, “The force from just Thor’s Hammer Fortress isn’t enough to pose a significant threat to the Northern Legion, but if we add War God Fortress into the mix, the Northern Legion will be stretched thin.
It’s already quite an acplishment to maintain the defenses without the lines being breached.
The North absolutely mustn’t fall into chaos; the Priya Plains, the breadbasket of Milan, is right behind you.
Once the Beastmen break through the front lines and enter Milan, every military division of the entire Milan Empire will face the risk of collapse.”
Oliveira nodded and said, “Exactly.
Therefore, Grandpa and the Northern Legion can only stand fast here.
According to the Empire’s original strategic deployment, such a situation should not have occurred.
Although we have a strong enemy to the north, we had two great allies to the east and west of us.
The Beastmen may be powerful, but they lack mages, and their individual bat strength cannot play a sufficient role in a large-scale war.
We need only about three hundred thousand soldiers to solidify the northern defenses.
But now, with the betrayal of the Flore Empire, the situation on the continent has changed.
Not only do we have the War God Tribe as an enemy, but we also face the treacherous Flore Empire.
Suddenly having enemies on two additional fronts has indeed put the Empire in a very pessimistic position.”
