BXBX NOVEL Chapter 993 Meeting
Chapter 993 Meeting
"And what are these people for exactly, Alliance Leader?" Chief Valencia inquired with a wondering look.
The other leaders, Venerable Shamans, and Half-step Battle Kings also wondered the same thing.
"The pointy-eared elves are citizens of my empire, who have all signed up to cultivate crops in the Darkmoon Tribe," Leon stated.
"Although you won\'t get the same energy as you normally would from beast meat and sea monster meat. The vegetables and fruits cultivated by the elves are very tasty and promote health. At the very least, you won\'t have to starve if other food sources run out, ever."
"On the other hand, these people are all slaves, war criminals of our empire. I am putting you in charge of them, Chief Valencia. They come with various abilities. You may use them to cultivate the land, develop the tribe, or even create drinking water."
"What? They can create water?!" many warriors quickly exclaimed with shock, surprise, and doubts.
"Water Transcendents, step forward and show them your ability," Leon ordered.
However, the Water Transcendents, which was a majority of the slaves, grumbled and didn\'t comply immediately.
Or rather, they disdained to demonstrate their abilities to the barbaric-looking people.
"It seems like these slaves lack disciplined and don\'t treat the warriors of the Darkmoon Tribe. Why don\'t you all put on a show of strength and let them know who they are looking down on exactly?" Leon suggested.
HUU!
The Half-step Battle Kings stomped the ground with a grunt-like warcry and exerted pressure on the slaves with their vigorous auras.
Their united effort shook the ground greatly.
At the same time, ex-marquis Raygor and the other slaves\' expressions abruptly changed after they felt the Half-step Battle Kings\' strength.
Most Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendent-level slaves could only compare to High-rank Great Warriors in strength.
However, the present Darkmoon Tribe had many Great Warriors, not to mention Battle Masters and the Half-step Battle Kings that are above Great Warriors.
Ex-marquis Raygor was a Peak Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent.
The force Ex-marquis Raygor could exert with his water ability was around 3-million jin, which was the same force the Half-step Battle Kings could exert with their physical abilities.
However, there was only one Raygor, but at least a dozen Half-step Battle Kings.
Furthermore, it didn\'t seem like the Darkmoon Tribe had someone else even stronger than the Half-step Battle Kings.
Gulp!
Many slaves quickly swallowed their saliva.
The barbarian-looking tribe was full of powerful warriors! What right did they have to look down on such strong warriors?!
Several Water Transcendents quickly demonstrated their water ability after giving in to the pressure.
Drops of water quickly formed in midair for everyone to see.
Chief Valencia and the others witnessed it with their own eyes and became astonished. Hearing it was one thing, but seeing it was another.
The feeling was not the same!
"Incredible… To think it was possible to create drinkable water…" a Half-step Battle King uttered with amazement after scooping a sip.
However, the Half-step Battle King immediately received judging looks from other Half-step Battle Kings, Venerable Shamans, and even the Battle Masters that came to check out the situation.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" the Half-step Battle King asked, baffled by their judgemental gazes.
"Obviously. For hundreds of years, the Celestial Water Spark has created drinkable water and supplied it to everyone in the Infertile Plains. No sh*t that water can be created," another Half-step Battle King stated.
"Ah, you are right. It was a poor choice of words. What I mean is that I didn\'t think people could wield this sort of ability," the Half-step Battle King corrected.
After the Water Transcendents finished their demonstration, Chief Valencia confirmed the abilities of the Fire Transcendents and Earth Transcendents.
"Interesting…" Chief Valencia uttered.
"Their abilities are quite similar to shamans. However, their abilities are more concentrated around a particular element…"
"You\'ve brought us a great gift, Alliance Leader. I will make sure that their abilities are put to full use," Chief Valencia assured.
"I don\'t care how you treat the slaves. Unless they do something that warrants death, it is best to keep them alive and in good condition to make the most out of their abilities," Leon stated.
"However, the elves are people of my empire who have volunteered for this job. Please take good care of them. For starters, they need accommodations and a plot of land for their crop cultivation."
"Please arrange that, then meet me in the hall, Chief Valencia," Leon instructed.
"Understood, Alliance Leader."
…
After handing the elves and slaves over for Chief Valencia to manage, Leon drops Faelyn off at Barrenrock Courtyard with everything she needs to formally practice her alchemy.
"If you need anything, you can ask the maids to help you. I won\'t be gone for long, but I will also leave Rainshine with you. After I settle some matters, I\'ll take you to another place to practice alchemy," Leon said.
"Alright," Faelyn nodded obediently.
Nevertheless, Leon didn\'t leave immediately. He spent some time forging a Fire Induction Array for Faelyn to use.
Only after finishing the Fire Induction Array did Leon leave Barrenrock Courtyard.
Faelyn watched Leon leave until she could no longer see him. Afterward, she shifted her attention to the Fire Induction Array, pill cauldron, and spirit herbs she was provided.
"I guess I\'ll start practicing on the Tier-1 Energy Gathering Pill," Faelyn decided after taking a deep breath.
Although Faelyn learned that wood users could increase the success rate of pill refinement and even enhance the pill quality, she had no confidence in refining pills for the first time.
Confidence was something Faelyn had to build up with experience and success.
…
Meanwhile, Leon took a short tour around the Darkmoon Tribe and observed its development.
Afterward, Leon headed up the plateau and waited with the other tribe leaders for Chief Valencia to arrive in the great hall.
Leon did not need to wait long.
Within several minutes, Chief Valencia arrived, and the meeting officially began.
"What is the current situation in the Infertile Plains? What happened in the past few days that I was away?" Leon inquired.
"It\'s… getting ugly."
