Chapter 488 -489: Courier (2nd Update)
The people at the gathering place where Wang Gang used to be had all boarded the Sky Soaring Battleship.
The Sky Soaring Battleship, which Lin Qian had been using all along, could attack, defend, and transport a large number of people; it was a well-balanced warship.
Lin Qian, with the Sky Soaring Battleship, came to one gathering place after another as ordered by Shen Zhixing to attack and asked if the survivors of the Four Clans were willing to follow and relocate to live within a Mountain City.
The gathering places that had been attacked were riddled with holes, completely in ruins, and impossible to inhabit any longer.
Moreover, since there were plenty of vacant spots in the Mountain City that they had captured, it would be better to relocate them there.
After all, they were implicated by Lin Qian; this was the utmost effort he could make.
Without exception, no one disagreed; what was the point of staying on the ruins?
Moreover, Lin Qian had also agreed to let them take the bodies of their loved ones to their future residences; what else could they be dissatisfied with?
In the eyes of the Four Clans’ people, the Sky Soaring Battleship seemed very rare, with the children chasing each other on the warship’s deck.
When the Mountain City appeared before them, there was a bit of trepidation in everyone’s eyes.
However, upon entering the city, they saw elegant members of the Human Clan coming forward to warmly greet them.
What made the people from other gathering places envious was that those behind Wang Gang from his gathering place could actually receive a house in the city, even with an independent courtyard? freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Besides their envy, they also did not understand why others could directly get houses with private courtyards while they only had humble tents.
“Because they have become citizens of the Huaxia Empire,” the elegant scholar explained with a smile in response to the puzzled Four Clans members, “The Huaxia Empire has always been very generous to its own citizens.”
In an instant, Lin Qian acquired many more citizens of the Four Clans for the Huaxia Empire.
However, Lin Qian was not concerned with the situation here at the moment; he believed that the scholars from the Heavenly Art Department could handle it well, without his worry.
At that moment, on the top floor of the Mountain City, Lin Qian entered the front courtyard of the extremely luxurious mansion and said to the people behind him, “Shen Zhixing threatened me here, and he killed my subordinates from the Imperial Army, along with innocent bystanders.”
Hearing Lin Qian’s words, the people following him closed their mouths and remained silent.
After entering the main hall of the mansion, Lin Qian took his seat at the head, signaling everyone to be seated. At the same time, those who came in also took their seats one after another.
Those closely following Lin Qian were none other than the four elders of the Human Clan, Wang Qiongxing, He Baili, Xu Wuwei, and Fu Deqing. Sitting opposite them were the elders of the Red Horn Clan, the Dwarf Clan, and the Spirit Hoof Clan.
Compared to the Human Clan, the Red Horn Clan, the Dwarf Clan, and the Spirit Hoof Clan had significantly fewer members; there were only three elders from these three clans combined, still fewer than the Human Clan.
However, while only Wang Qiongxing of the Human Clan had Master Level combat power in the Awakening Realm, all three elders from the other clans possessed Master Level combat power.
As for He Baili, Xu Wuwei, and Fu Deqing, their Realm was only at the Sixth Level of the Awakening Realm, though they were half a step away from the Seventh Level sanctuary.
“Are you three sure about this? Don’t tell me you’ve come to bamboozle me,” Lin Qian turned his head toward the elders of the Red Horn Clan, the Dwarf Clan, and the Spirit Hoof Clan and asked for confirmation after sitting down.
After observing the previous battle, the elders of the three clans approached him with a simple purpose: to join the Huaxia Empire.
Moreover, it was not just individually, but to have all three clans become part of the Huaxia Empire.
Lin Qian had already been considering how to rule the entire Ancient Forest World. This underground world was too important to him, concerning the evolution of the entire population as well as resolving the situation in the Southern Domain and the Southern Nine Provinces.
“But I want to know, once our three clans join the Huaxia Empire, will we be treated with the same fairness as the Human Clan?” the elder of the Red Horn Clan, Bade, asked Lin Qian earnestly, “We hope not to discover that we’ve joined another Black Corner Country within the Huaxia Empire.”
Next to him, the elders of the Dwarf Clan and the Spirit Hoof Clan were nodding along, echoing their concern.
Addressing the concerns of the three non-human elders, Lin Qian showed a smile and pointed outside, “The attitude of the Huaxia Empire toward other races is evident in this city that I have conquered. Even the Black Corner Clan has been treated with equity after investigating the truth, let alone you all?”
“I hope that all the races joining the Huaxia Empire can find their own place here. For example, the Dwarf Clan can fully join the Fire Department. As for the Spirit Hoof Clan, I have already planned to establish a Swift Wind Express to take advantage of their strengths.”
Lin Qian’s statement about finding their own place deeply impressed the three races’ elders. In fact, after entering the city, they had looked around, and they were very satisfied with the sight of five races living together.
Especially the Dwarf Clan, when they saw their own people working alongside the Human Clan on a palace construction, they felt reassured.
Their people were not enslaved but exuded happiness, clearly enjoying the work they were doing.
Furthermore, he asked his people, and they told him the Fire Department they joined was specifically responsible for various manufacturing tasks within the Huaxia Empire.
From this, the elder of the Dwarf Clan knew that his people were not looked down upon but rather highly valued and utilized.
On the other hand, the elder of the Spirit Hoof Clan looked perplexed at Lin Qian, “Swift Wind Express, what is that exactly?”
“If a citizen of the Huaxia Empire needs to send an item to a town’s village three hundred miles away, how is it to be done?” Lin Qian asked in return upon hearing the Spirit Hoof Clan elder’s question.
“…” The elder of the Spirit Hoof Clan was momentarily stunned, then responded, “It would be too troublesome. One can’t be sure there would be someone to take it there if left to chance, and going oneself is far too far.”
“The Spirit Hoof Clan is not only fast but also have extraordinary stamina, and running itself constitutes training for your clan,” Lin Qian said with a smile to the elder of the Spirit Hoof Clan, “If the Spirit Hoof Clan utilizes its racial advantage, taking a city as the center, daily gathering the items that need to be delivered by the citizens of the Huaxia Empire, and sorting them to be transported to other cities.”
“And then, the Lingti clan in that city, according to the destinations listed on these items to be delivered?”
The elder of the Spirit Hoof Clan was puzzled; indeed, their race exercised their physiques and stimulated their Soul Power by running.
What Lin Qian was proposing seemed tailor-made for the Spirit Hoof Clan.
“This is a new occupation, one that I have personally conceived for your Spirit Hoof Clan,” Lin Qian replied, smiling at the elder of the Spirit Hoof Clan.
“Couriers!”
