238 – Faldina
Yang Feng said faintly: “So it’s the emissary of the Morrince Empire. Could you please tell me what brought you to my Miracle City?”
Edith carefully sized up Yang Feng for a moment, then said with a faint smile: “Master Ian, the Red Earth Wasteland has always been the territory of the Morrince Empire. You built this city on the territory of the Morrince Empire, so you have to return it to the empire.”
“Of course, as a recognition for building a city in the Red Earth Wasteland, the empire is willing to give you the imperial hereditary peer title of chevalier, grant you a fief, and have you become a real aristocrat of the Morrince Empire.”
Yang Feng sneered and said coldly: “In exchange for a trifling fief of a chevalier, you want to swallow my Miracle City. The Morrince Empire has quite the appetite.”
Under Yang Feng’s management, the Miracle City broke away from desertification and became a beautiful and fertile city. The number of slaves in the city was in the tens of thousands, which Yang Feng bought at great cost from many slave merchants.
The trifling fief of a chevalier and an aristocratic title of the Morrince Empire weren’t even worth one-ten-thousandth of the Miracle City.
“In fact, you don’t have a choice! The Morrince Empire has millions of regular troops and hundreds of main divisions. Tens of thousands of Firmament Knights, over 1,000 Star Knights, over 300 Great Wizards, over 30 Archwizards serve the Morrince Empire. What about your Miracle City?”
“According to our intelligence, there are only 2,000 human warriors and 800 half blood warriors in the Miracle City. Of the 2,800 warriors, only the 200 royal guards of the Iman Principality are considered to be elites, the rest is but a rabble.”
“There’s only 1 true powerhouse, who is you, Great Wizard Ian! However, do you, a trifling Great Wizard, want contend against the over 300 Great Wizards and over 30 Archwizards of the Morrince Empire? Your best course of action is to join the Morrince Empire and become a noble aristocratic Great Wizard. Otherwise, you’ll have to flee to the end of the world or be reduced to a prisoner once the army of the Morrince Empire reaches your doorstep. These are the 2 options you have.” With a graceful smile, Edith flatly threatened Yang Feng.
The mighty Morrince Empire was Edith's backer. Millions of regular troops, tens of thousands of Firmament Knights, over 1,000 Star Knights, over 300 Great Wizards, and over 30 Archwizards, this was the foundation of the Morrince Empire.
Additionally, what Edith had yet to mention was that there were still countless experts in the different temples of the Morrince Empire. If the Apologetic, Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope rank powerhouses of the temples were also considered, the number of experts would increase by a fold.
Besides, there were still numerous greater aristocrats in the Morrince Empire. These greater aristocrats had their own private troops and supported numerous experts. If the forces of the greater aristocrats were also considered, then the Morrince Empire would only be stronger.
“That does sound impressive and all. However, how many of them can you really mobilize and send to the Red Earth Wasteland? The territory of the Morrince Empire is extremely vast, and the main divisions are scattered about in order to deter foreign forces and internal fractions. At most, you can mobilize and send here under 30,000 troops.”
“As for Wizards, I’m a person of the temple of the Weave Goddess. I don’t think that Legend Wizards would act against me. As for the other Wizards, most of them are reluctant to fight me.”
“Although the Morrince Empire is extremely powerful. However, once your warriors enter the Red Earth Wasteland, they’ll never return. Once you lose a few times and over 100,000 of your warriors die, the Morrince Empire will likely leave my Miracle City alone!” Said Yang Feng with a faint smile.
Edith inquired: “Over 100,000 of warriors! Are you sure that your Miracle City can withstand the offensive of the Morrince Empire? On what grounds?”
Yang Feng replied with a smile: “With me here, unless gods personally intervene, the Miracle City won’t be breached!”
Although the gods didn’t intervene often on the Feisuo Plane. However, there had been cases of gods meting out divine punishment and destroying forces that provoked them.
Yang Feng had already built the temple of the Weave Goddess in the Miracle City. Under the protection of the Weave Goddess, if he didn’t do anything heinous or profaned the gods, it was basically impossible for the gods to mete out divine punishment and destroy the Miracle City.
Of course, if the Morrince Empire sent an army to attack the Miracle City, the Weave Goddess wouldn’t intervene to rescue Yang Feng, either.
The secular affairs were to be handled by the secular world and the churches, this was one of the treaties signed by the gods of the Feisuo Plane over 100,000 years ago.
Over 100,000 years ago, during the battle of gods, the true bodies and embodiments of gods wantonly killed enemy believers. The majority of races were nearly slaughtered. Ordinary beings couldn’t withstand a single blow from the gods, and even Legend rank powerhouses were just a bit stronger cannon fodder.
Seeing the devastation of the Feisuo Plane, the gods weakened by the battle reached a series of treaties that restrained them from personally intervening at will.
After the gods stopped intervening in person, although the Feisuo Plane was still flooded by war, the population of the various races recovered rapidly. Very few gods dyed due to this treaty, which in turn strengthened the standing of the treaty.
Knowing that the gods generally wouldn’t intervene in person, Yang Feng boldly and confidently established the Miracle City in the Red Earth Wasteland.
Edith said with a smile: “Interesting! Master Ian, I’m looking forward to your performance. I’m just a representative of the Morrince Empire and had to make a trip here. Personally, I admire you very much. After all, to establish a city in the Red Earth Wasteland is really a miracle. If you are defeated by the empire, you can come to the Hansen Family to seek refuge with me. I can build you a magic tower and let you continue to study magic.”
Magic towers of the Feisuo Plane were very similar to Warlock towers of the Cangzhi Plane. Of course, Warlock towers of the Cangzhi Plane were more powerful. On the Cangzhi Plane, a Starry Sky Warlock could even suppress a god by relying on the power of a Warlock tower. On the Feisuo Plane, however, magic towers weren’t that powerful.
Yang Feng smiled faintly, saying: “Thank you. However, I don’t think that this day will ever come.”
At this moment, Lina came in. She was slightly taken aback upon seeing Edith. It was her first time to see such a handsome, nearly flawless man.
Lina came to Yang Feng and said in a low voice, “Master, the emissary of the Titan Empire is here to see you.”
Yang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a faint smile: “The emissary of the Titan Empire is here, too? Let them in!”
Lina retreated respectfully. “Yes, Master!”
Shortly after, an exceptionally beautiful girl dressed in a silver dress, with glistening blonde hair, a tall figure, jade-like fair skin, delicate and beautiful facial features, and pretty and emotive eyes came over with a bright smile.
When the exceptionally beautiful girl dressed in a silver dress entered the room, the whole room seemed to turn brighter, and all eyes gathered on her.
“Edith, so you’re the emissary of the Morrince Empire! Great, I was dying to see you!” When the exceptionally beautiful girl dressed in a silver dress saw Edith, her eyes shone strangely, then she fell into Edith’s embrace and smiled enchantingly, not caring about the surrounding people.
“Faldina, my sweetheart, my baby, fate brought us together again. I will never let go of you and let you leave me.” Edith said sweet words and kissed the exceptionally beautiful girl on the cheek.”
Yang Feng coughed softly and said faintly: “Ms. Faldina, could you please tell me what brought you here?”
Faldina said carelessly: “Nothing much! The Titan Empire wants you to hand over the Miracle City, Ian. This land belongs to us. Since you build the Miracle City here, then it belongs to the Titan Empire. You won’t live much longer if you don’t hand it over. I said what I had to say, now it’s up to you to decide what to do.”
Yang Feng sighed in secret: “This is the arrogance of a big state!”
The Titan Empire was more domineering than the Morrince Empire. It wanted to swallow the Miracle City without giving Yang Feng any benefits in return. Ultimately, Yang Feng’s strength and background were too weak.
The Titan Empire and the Morrince Empire looked down on Yang Feng.
Edith said with a gentle smile while embracing Faldina: “It seems that the offer of the Morrince Empire is slightly better! Master Ian, won’t you reconsider?”
Yang Feng replied indifferently: “Please give me a few months to think it over!”
Edith shook his head lightly and said with a smile. “You want to stall for time? It’s no use! If you don’t give us an answer within 10 days, the hunting fang corps of the Morrince Empire will enter the Red Earth Wasteland and launch an attack on the Miracle City.”
Yang Feng sighed softly, saying: “In this case, it is a pity that the hunting fang corps of the Morrince Empire will soon disappear from the roster of your empire.”
Edith replied with a soft smile: “Then I’ll wait and see how you will make the hunting fang corps disappear, Master Ian!”
