Full-time Creation Master

"Look at what you're saying!"

Mo Fan, still basking in the glory of his "General" position, instinctively straightened his back.

His eyes and brows radiated an undisguised sense of pride and satisfaction, and his tone of voice was much more triumphant than usual.

There was none of the cautiousness he displayed when he met Chief Red Hare Firescale Horse before, as if he had secretly abducted someone's precious jewel. Not even a trace of guilt or timidity could be seen.

"That wasn't some kind of extortion; it was a genuine collaboration!"

He took half a step forward, deliberately emphasizing his tone.

His self-righteous demeanor

They were not in the slightest afraid of the raging anger and monarch-level pressure emanating from the clan leader.

"It's a win-win situation that benefits our Great Xia and allows your Fire-Scaled Horse Clan to gain a foothold."

It's beneficial for both of us, with no drawbacks!

Men, by nature, have very few true hobbies.

He commands a large army of 100,000 armored soldiers!

At a single command, thousands of troops would bow their heads and obey without question!

This is absolutely one of the most burning dreams etched into every man's bones.

At this moment, Mo Fan, feeling smug and self-satisfied, spoke with even more confidence than usual, his frankness now carrying a certain air of self-assurance.

It's also more straightforward.

Leave no room for compromise.

That flamboyance couldn't be hidden.

"Father (Chief of the Red Hare Fire-Scaled Horse Clan), don't forget..."

My precious seventeenth son and I are true sworn brothers.

It's a soul contract, the kind where there's no distinction between us!

His tone was unusually intimate, yet his words carried an undeniable certainty: "Besides, do you know how precious and difficult it is to obtain a formal position in the Great Xia Dynasty these days?"

"I put in a tremendous amount of effort!"

I had to pull every string and smooth things over to barely secure a spot!

"We'll directly integrate your entire Fire-Scaled Horse clan; no need for all those roundabout methods!"

"Otherwise, with the Great Xia's rigorous, ingrained vetting standards, layer upon layer of exams, checkpoints, and selection processes, they could easily shut down your group of proud, arrogant, and unyielding Fire-Scaled Horses!"

(Do you know how many forces are willing to be dogs for our Great Xia right now?)

"snort--"

The Red Hare Fire Scale Horse Chieftain was so angry that his mane stood on end.

Two sword-shaped plumes of white vapor shot out of his nostrils.

His impatience and anger were almost overflowing as he roared at Mo Fan, "Who told you that our Fire-Scaled Horse Clan cares about your Great Xia's organizational structure?"

Who told you we wanted to be formally employed?

"Who gave you the audacity to act on your own and make decisions for our entire Fire-Scaled Horse clan?"

ah?!"

He practically roared out the last two words.

No one submits without setting a string of conditions, and no one is indifferent. Negotiation is key to achieving a win-win situation!

If we surrender unconditionally, do we need you?

Win-win situation?

You brat, you and the Great Xia have defeated our Fire-Scaled Horse Clan twice, haven't you?

The anger and frustration in his chest were released all at once through his voice, yet he was utterly helpless.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

A genuine look of doubt flashed across Mo Fan's face. He blinked.

He immediately regained his previous self-righteousness and remained completely calm.

Having already received subtle and overt hints from Luo Shen about the situation in the Northern Frontier and having prepared a complete set of arguments in advance, he felt no shame whatsoever.

Instead, he straightened his back again and earnestly advised, "Dad!"

That's where you're wrong!

"We need to broaden our horizons and expand our perspective."

We can't just focus on our immediate surroundings.

We need to look at the long term!

Think about the future!

He dropped the intimacy on his face, his tone instantly becoming serious and solemn, each word ringing out clearly in the clan leader's ears:

"Your Red Hare Firescale Horse Empire, to which the Northern Frontier Blood Beast Empire belongs, is now trapped in a desperate situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides and unable to advance or retreat!"

"To the south lies our Great Xia."

To the north lies the polar bear human empire.

These are both formidable opponents you've dealt with for many years; you can't afford to underestimate them in the slightest!

"The white-skinned dynasty in the northeast is now expanding outwards at an even more frenzied pace."

Ambitious and with a terrifyingly large appetite, they have long coveted this fertile grassland in the northern frontier, eyeing it covetously and constantly probing!

"The Northern Emperor also made sure that the Snow Fox Empire and the Polar Bear Empire joined the invasion of the south."

The non-permafrost zone, which was originally the northernmost 8000-mile buffer zone of the Blood Beast Empire, now seems to be less than 3000 miles away!

The rest of the area has become the far north permafrost region!

"In the southeast, Qiu Zhibai's undead empire has also firmly established a foothold, making it their central artery connecting the north and south, giving you no chance to breathe!"

"And the west side was always in a terrible state of chaos!"

Tribal battles and demonic warfare raged on.

Now things are even more chaotic, with war raging everywhere, and there will never be peace!

"Your Fire-Scaled Horse tribe has never suffered a shortage of people and lost territory each year due to the wars in the west."

You know these hardships better than anyone else, you understand them better than anyone else!

"The overall environment is already so bad and so dangerous,"

But this generation's Blood Beast Emperor is stubborn and inflexible, as soft as cotton!

Mo Fan's tone carried just the right amount of regret, which only added to its persuasiveness.

Mo Fan's tone carried just the right amount of regret, which only added to its persuasiveness.

Every word hit the nail on the head: "He simply doesn't have that ability."

I also lack the courage.

We will provide your Red Hare Firescale Horse Empire with ample protection and support!

"You are also aware of the power levels of legitimate emperors (Emperor-level floor tiles, Red Hare Firescale Horse Emperor, Red Hare Firescale Horse Emperor's unity of man and horse, and the Northern Frontier Blood Emperor who could once rival the Rooftop Emperor head-on!"

"But now this Blood Beast Emperor is not only old, but he was also severely injured by concentrated fire because he was too arrogant in the land of Raffi."

Now they're hiding in their old nest and not showing themselves.

They only know how to compromise, back down, and make concessions when faced with problems.

How can such an emperor protect your Fire-Scaled Horse Empire?

How can we safeguard the peace of the northern border?

"If things continue like this..."

Not long,

"Who knows, one day, your Red Hare Firescale Horse clan might become a sacrifice used by the Blood Beast Empire to seek peace and compromise!"

"At that time, will we cede a piece of land, or a city?"

Even at the cost of your entire Fire-Scaled Horse clan?

It's possible to trade temporary peace for something like this.

Do you really want to see that day?

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming incredibly firm and powerful, brimming with confidence: "On the contrary, our Great Xia has such a profound foundation that no one has ever been able to figure out its secrets!"

Leaving aside its historical foundation, even now, its military strength is formidable and its combat power is unparalleled.

"But we absolutely have the strength to protect your entire Fire-Scaled Horse clan, to protect your territory and your people!"

"Moreover, the Great Xia Dynasty has only been established for one year."

It was a time when everything was in ruins and opportunities were everywhere.

Everyone who gets a permanent position will receive ample resources and support!

"For you, joining the Great Xia now is not a compromise, nor is it dependence."

This is the best opportunity.

It is also the only way to protect the tribe and its people!
