Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2100
2100 Whose Order?
The Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members’ reaction to being rescued represented the Iron Hammer Federation’s potential.
Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie held a discussion.
When the Startling Lines Continent was conquered, the Divine Wood Federation would become the core of the three federations, but not all of the Creation Master resources produced by Yi Huailu would go into the Divine Wood Federation.
Lin Yuan intended to send Yi Huailu to Ta Lei’s territory after increasing Yi Huailu’s power. This way, Ta Lei’s territory would become the core of the three federations.
They would pick talented people from the three federations to nurture them before they were returned to the three federations.
Thus, understanding how a federation handled danger would inform Lin Yuan of whether the talented people in the federation were worth being nurtured.
The Divine Wood Federation had not satisfied Lin Yuan when they had been in danger. Every faction only cared about themselves, causing the entire federation to be divided. None of them thought about the Divine Wood Federation’s overall welfare.
Lin Yuan hoped that the Iron Hammer Federation would be able to provide him with a satisfying result.
Through his interaction with Ta Lei’s Horseshoe Tribe, Lin Yuan felt that the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members were honest people.
At the time, every member of the Horseshoe Tribe had been ready to sacrifice themselves in order to create a chance for Ta Lei’s survival.
Meanwhile, none of the leaders of small factions in the Divine Wood Federation had thought about their juniors first in a state of emergency. Rather, they ensured their own safety and profits first.
In this aspect, the Iron Hammer Federation was better than the Divine Wood Federation.
After mulling for some time, Lin Yuan decided not to interfere in the selfish character of the Divine Wood Federation’s elite.
If the Iron Hammer Federation could not provide Lin Yuan with a satisfying result as well, Lin Yuan would have no choice but to turn to the Great Lush Federation.
However, the Great Lush Federation had been under the Truth Association’s control for the past few years. When Lin Yuan took over the Great Lush Federation, he would need to work with Jin Qianxun to do a deep cleaning first to empty the Great Lush Federation of all traces of the Truth Association.
The Source Sand quickly transported Luo Lan underground.
As per Lin Yuan’s instructions, Shadow followed Luo Lan.
He had given Shadow two orders.
The first order was to protect Luo Lan, and the second was to listen to her commands.
Silver Corona told Lin Yuan about the current state of the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members who were currently trapped within the sea of flowers.
All of them were starving but dared not enter the sea of flowers. Thus, they were pacing at the center of the area, causing numerous bloody fights to break out. All of them had looks of despair hanging off their faces.
The tribes who had occupied advantageous locations first knew that they were not dead but had been captured by the sea of flowers instead.
As they fled to where they currently were, they got a good look at how strong the sea of flowers was.
After capturing them, the sea of flowers surrounded them but did not attack them. They were like penned-up pigs waiting for the day they ended up on someone’s dinner plate.
There was a clear distinction in ranking between the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribes. It resembled the ranking between the aristocratic families in the Divine Wood Federation.
Namely, they were ranked with Black Iron at the bottom, going up to Light Bronze, White Silver, Yellow Gold, Platinum, and more.
Platinum tribes usually had one or more Class 4 Creation Masters.
The tribes with the highest ranking of Black Gold had at least one pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master.
There were six Black Gold tribes that had been captured by the sea of flowers.
Normally, Black Iron, Light Bronze, White Silver, and Yellow Gold tribes lived within the territories of Black Gold tribes and served the Black Gold tribes.
They had to offer up a batch of resources to the Black Gold tribes annually.
The repeated offerings secured the power of the Black Gold tribes.
Although Platinum tribes were not reliant on Black Gold tribes, they usually had collaborative relationships.
The leaders of Black Gold tribes were not always the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
In order for Creation Masters to continuously increase their powers, they could not spend much time managing the tribes.
However, the key decisions in the Black Gold tribes were always made by the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
Now, six pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters had been captured.
There was no question that they were the true bigshots in the Iron Hammer Federation. Even the Iron Hammer Federation’s previous king had to bow and beg in front of them.
Presently, all of them had ashen faces and livid expressions.
“With so many of us trapped in the sea of flowers, even if we end up eaten by the sea of flowers, half of us will be gone in less than three days. Rather than so many of us waiting to die, why don’t we try to charge out in the direction we came in?
“We have already sent out feys to sense the sea of flowers, but they were attacked when they took flight. Moreover, this fog is much too thick. There’s no way for us to properly investigate this sea of flowers! Going back in the direction we came from is the only way for us to escape the sea of flowers!”
The rest of the five pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters nodded. It seemed that this was the only way to escape the sea of flowers.
However, it was clear that there was something hidden in the sea of flowers that could threaten Myth Breed feys.
A thearch-class expert from a Platinum tribe was sent to investigate the sea of flowers. But five hours had passed, and he still had not returned.
Before the thearch-class expert left, he had agreed to return two hours later.
Given that he had not returned despite being three hours late, it was likely that he had died in the sea of flowers.
Given that even a thearch-class expert had been killed in the sea of flowers, the six pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters dared not act recklessly.
Even if the sea of flowers was ineffective against Immortal experts, there might not be an Immortal expert amongst the Black Gold tribes.
Even if the Black Gold tribes did have Immortal experts, they would want to survive alongside their other tribe members.
At that moment, an enraged voice roared, “Damn it! If I’m ever able to return to the imperial court, I’ll cut down Luo Cai’s head even if it costs my life! What kind of order is this? On the journey to the Divine Wood Federation, even without the sea of flowers, at least half of our people died. How is such scum fit to be the Iron Hammer Federation’s king? With such a king, there’s no way that the snow beast on the snow-capped mountain will bless the Iron Hammer Federation.”
