Full-time Creation Master

"War, war, war everywhere!"

Empress Ma raised her head, her tone filled with weariness and helplessness.

His crimson mane drooped slightly, diminishing some of his sub-emperorly majesty.

With a touch of melancholy, he said, "There is no longer a peaceful home in the magical realm!"

Having said that, she slowly turned her neck, her gaze falling to one side of the council chamber—

There hung a fire painting with colorful flame patterns, which had been displayed to everyone even earlier than the two flame images on the Flame Mirror Fern.

Above the fire painting lies the land of Lafite, which has temporarily settled down.

The Flame Mirror Fern was unwilling to delve deeper, as the entire area was enveloped by countless layers of faintly glowing vacuoles.

Those cavitation bubbles are the isolation barriers set up by emperor-level powerhouses.

The barrier was thick and sturdy, completely blocking out the outside world and making it impossible to see what was inside.

Every horse that saw it could sense the underlying unease and crisis from the trembling of the barrier.

Besides Lafite Land

On the other side of the fire painting, the fierce battle in the far north is depicted.

The Northern Emperor has mobilized his forces and ordered the White Skin Empire, White Bear Empire, and Snow Fox Empire to invade southward across the entire front.

Iron cavalry trampled through the ice and snow.

The flames of war spread to the northern border.

The layers of defenses erected by the Blood Beast Empire and the Russian Empire crumbled under the fierce onslaught of the Far Northern Alliance.

They retreated step by step, their defenses crumbled, and they suffered heavy casualties.

The semi-permafrost buffer zone, which was originally 3000 li long, is now less than 3000 li long!

Even the land was stained dark red with blood.

......

In the council chamber, the three sub-emperor-level Red Hare Firescale Horse Emperors—two females and one male—still stood quietly on either side.

The presiding emperor of this meeting, Red Hare Firescale Horse Emperor, was no ordinary powerhouse.

She was the empress of the entire Red Hare Firescale Horse clan, also known as the Horse Empress.

Normally, she handles all the affairs, large and small, within the clan's empire.

Meticulous and decisive in handling matters

He enjoys high prestige within the community and is undoubtedly the rightful chairperson of today's meeting.

The remaining two sub-emperors, Madi, were both descendants of Madi and Madi Queen.

They are just two generations apart, and their generational status is different.

Their natural talents were limited, and they were never able to break through to the level of a legitimate emperor.

In addition, the status of Emperor Ma and Empress Ma also exerted a suppressive influence.

In tribal councils, they already had little say and mostly just listened silently.

Moreover, a few days ago, these two sub-emperor couple, who could be described as "bratty kids" (there was a generational difference between them, and demons didn't care too much about that).

Ignoring Empress Ma's advice, he insisted on venturing into the war-torn land of Lafite.

The results speak for themselves.

The two horses following the Blood Beast Emperor were in grave danger and severely injured.

He has only barely recovered today.

His body was still somewhat weak, and the wounds on his scales had not completely healed.

He was too lazy to speak or express any opinion, and simply stood there with his head down.

The true ruler of the Red Hare Firescale Horse clan is the Horse Emperor.

He remained silent throughout, his eyes slightly closed.

His expression was indifferent, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.

It was as if it were secretly pondering, silently waiting for everyone to discuss and reach a final decision before making the final decision.

"Didn't anyone say anything?"

Empress Ma sighed softly, her tone full of helplessness.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present—the great monarchs looking at each other in bewilderment, the two silent sub-emperors, and Madi, who remained lost in thought with his eyes closed.

Looking at these speechless children,

Seeing that even the strongest members of their clan were helpless,

She sighed heavily again, her aura becoming even heavier.

"Since none of you want to talk about it, then I will!"

Empress Ma slowly raised her head, and hundreds of bright, vertical pupils, like small suns, glowed faintly.

With unwavering resolve and clarity, his gaze swept over every powerful figure present, and he spoke, each word distinct and forceful: "Accept it!"

Accept the incorporation of the Great Xia, accept this irreversible trend.

"The trend is irreversible!"

Her tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation.

As if having already seen through everything, "The chaotic era of the magical plane has arrived."

The future will be a stage for the strongest.

The weak will only be mercilessly swallowed up by the torrent of time!

"Our Fire-Scaled Horse clan is not strong enough!"

Ma Di's expression was calm, without the slightest hesitation or timidity.

His eyes were filled with a clear understanding: "In this chaotic world..."

The weak,

In the face of the strong,

There was never any choice.

They could only passively accept the arrangements of fate.

"Therefore, before this chaotic era fully unfolds,

While there's still time, we must proactively 'sell' ourselves!

Her words were blunt and cruel, yet every word hit the nail on the head: "The sooner you make a decision..."

The earlier you attach yourself to the strong,

We can then sell it for a good price.

This will allow the community to have more opportunities to survive and leave a way out for future generations!

The assembled Grand Monarchs and Supreme Monarchs of the Horse Kings

Upon hearing this, everyone was moved, their expressions varied, but no one refuted it.

They all raised their heads simultaneously, their gazes fixed on Madi, the orthodox emperor-level powerhouse who remained silent throughout.

Ma Di's eyes remained slightly closed, but his eyelids twitched slightly twice.

He didn't speak or make any move.

They remained silent, which, according to past practice, was an implicit acceptance of Empress Ma's words.

Seeing that Emperor Ma did not object, all the horse kings lowered their heads and readily admitted this cruel fact.

They knew in their hearts that Empress Ma was right.

Horse-type demons have historically been considered to be of medium strength among demons of the same level.

Few horse-type monsters can achieve such an extreme bottom ranking.

However, almost no horse-type demons can be ranked among the top powerhouses of their level.

It has always been in an awkward situation of being neither here nor there.

Lacking top-tier combat power and the strength to overwhelm other races,

In this chaotic world of war and the survival of the fittest,

Submitting to the stronger, becoming dependent on the powerful.

This was the best option and the only way out for the Fire-Scaled Horse clan.

"Among the many forces, Great Xia is undoubtedly our best choice!"

One of the more impatient Grand Sovereigns couldn’t help but speak, his tone full of eagerness and excitement.

"Have you forgotten that every other demonic force sees us horses as food and mounts, and readily hunts and kills us for sustenance?"

"But humans are different!"

It emphasized its words, making each one clear: "Humans have never devoured us (living) horses like those demons."

What they need is our speed and combat power, and our 'man and horse as one' partners!

"Moreover, the Great Xia's strength on the South China Sea battlefield..."

We could all see it clearly from the Fiery Mirror Fern.

Five forbidden spells are in charge.

My God!

The warships are incredibly powerful!

Only a force like this can truly protect us!

Upon hearing this, the horse kings became even more eager, their hesitation completely vanished, replaced by undisguised excitement and calculation.

"yes!

Rumors have already spread privately that the Great Xia Dynasty offered incredibly generous terms to incorporate our horse demon clan!

Another supreme monarch-level horse king said in a low voice, a greedy glint in his eyes: "It is said that..."

"As long as we sincerely submit, the Great Xia will provide resources that can allow a Supreme Monarch to directly break through to the Emperor level!"

"Emperor-level!"

But it is our lifelong pursuit!

Countless horse kings instantly became alert, their expressions turning strange.

Each of them was secretly calculating how to secure this valuable promotion opportunity when they surrendered.

Some people are thinking of taking the initiative to make goodwill, some are thinking of hiding their strength and asking for exorbitant prices, and some are secretly planning to win over their allies and get a bigger share of the pie.

Even the two sub-emperors, Madi, who had remained silent and bowed their heads the whole time, upon hearing the words "emperor-level resources,"

He couldn't help but shudder, his languid body straightening slightly.

A barely perceptible flicker of excitement and longing flashed in their eyes.

After all, they have limited natural talent and have been stuck at the sub-emperor level for many years, unable to break through to the orthodox emperor level.

This resource can directly elevate one to the Emperor level.

For them, it is undoubtedly a fatal temptation.

The previous listlessness and silence were instantly replaced by excitement.

The originally solemn and dignified atmosphere in the council chamber completely transformed into a restless and agitated environment.

The horse kings whispered amongst themselves, their former unity gone.

The emperor and empress at the very top had a complete view of it all.

A hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes. They exchanged a glance and sighed heavily in their hearts at the same time.

They had long anticipated that, in the face of self-interest, the cohesion of the group would ultimately crumble.

After the horse was pulled back from its saddle, its expression turned serious again. It was thinking to itself: more important than how to sell it for a good price was how to stabilize the situation.

Ma Di slowly opened his eyes, his previous indifference gone, replaced by a deep contemplation.

Its gaze was fixed on the distance, as if piercing through the barrier of the Fire Forest Plains and looking towards the Blood Beast Empire.

At this moment, what the two of them were thinking about was no longer the immediate conflict of interests—but how to safely and smoothly extricate the entire Red Hare Fire Scale Horse Empire from the Blood Beast Empire, which was mired in war.

The Blood Beast Empire is now surrounded by enemies on all sides.

With its defenses breached, it was already struggling to survive.

If you continue to depend on it, you will only be dragged into an abyss of no return.

Extricating oneself from such a situation is easier said than done.

Although the Blood Beast Empire is weak, it will never easily let go of this fighting force.

The slightest carelessness could lead to utter disaster.

.......

The specifics of how His Highness King Mofan negotiated with the Fire-Scaled Horse Empire at that time are unknown.

However, according to historical records and military archives,

Prince Mo Fan, who came from the Fire Forest Plain, took away 10 general-level Fire Kirin Horses and directly re-equipped his 10-strong army!

The Fire Kirin Horse Empire, after abandoning 1/5 of its power, migrated entirely to the sphere of influence of the Great Xia within three months.

Of the 500,000 Radiant Horses of the Knights of Light, four-fifths came from the Fire-Scaled Horse Empire.

It was His Highness Prince Fan who, through a fortuitous encounter, obtained a secret treasure that transformed the ordinary Fire-Scaled Horse into a Bright Heavenly Horse!
