BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148 - 133 You Must Stay by My Side as a Hostage_2
Lu Chen said, “Since 1 have allowed your people to move into North City, from now on, every member of the Sky Wolf King Tribe is my subject. They must obey my commands, actively integrate into North City, and abide by the laws and regulations of North City.”
Hearing this, Yelv Nanyan thought for a moment. If the Sky Wolf King Tribe were to really relocate to North City, obeying the commands of the North Prince was certain, but Yelv Nanyan didn’t think it would be that simple.
After all, the Sky Wolf King Tribe was a Barbarian Tribe; how could the North Prince be at ease with them moving into North City? There must be other conditions.
Just as Yelv Nanyan was about to ask if there was a third condition, Lu Chen spoke up, “That’s right, once the Sky Wolf King Tribe moves into North City, they must settle separately. From then on, the Sky Wolf King Tribe will cease to exist.”
Upon hearing these words, before Yelv Nanyan could say anything, the Barbarian Tribe’s High Priest, who stood behind her, immediately said, “Impossible! We absolutely cannot agree to such a condition!!!”
To move into North City, and even unsure if it was a plot by the North Prince, they had to dissolve the entire tribe. How could they possibly accept that?
They would definitely not accept such conditions!
Yelv Nanyan’s face turned dark as well, just as she had thought; the North Prince wanted to dismantle the entire Sky Wolf King Tribe, erasing it from history completely.
At that moment, Yelv Nanyan coldly asked, “If we do not accept the North Prince’s conditions, what will the North Prince do?”
Lu Chen said indifferently, “If Queen Yelv does not accept, then 1 will have to learn from your Barbarian Tribe and simply take you back to the Prince’s Mansion by force, making you my woman.”
Hearing the blunt words of Lu Chen, Yelv Nanyan coldly said, “Does the North Prince think I am just a weak woman?”
As she spoke, Yelv Nanyan exuded the aura of a Martial Artist.
Over the years, she had collected much of Great Sum’s Martial Arts through various means, and she had been practicing martial arts in secret. Very few in the Sky Wolf King Tribe knew of her martial prowess. She rarely used her skills, but that didn’t mean she was a weak woman.
Yelv Nanyan thought to herself, she was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, and although the North Prince was very calculating, his strength was at most at around Fifth Grade.
If they were to really clash, with the distance between them, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to capture the North Prince directly.
At that moment, the soldiers behind Lu Chen stopped pretending and released their Martial Artist auras. Mu Changtian and the others even displayed their Protective Gang Qi directly.
Lu Chen of course knew why Yelv Nanyan still had the confidence to speak to him like this; she was a concealed Ninth Grade Martial Artist, surely thinking she was not his match.
To make Yelv Nanyan utterly despair, Lu Chen also directly released his own Protective Gang Qi.
When Mu Changtian and the others, along with Lu Chen, released their Protective Gang Qi, the Barbarian Tribe soldiers immediately became restless.
Even Yelv Nanyan showed an expression of disbelief.
Four… Four Grandmasters!
The North Prince is also a Grandmaster!!!
How is this possible? Isn’t the North Price only sixteen or seventeen years old?
Seeing Lu Chen release his Protective Gang Qi, all the Barbarian Tribe Elders wilted. No wonder their army of three hundred thousand fell at North City; even the North Prince, this boy of only sixteen or seventeen, was a Grandmaster.
At this moment, Xiao Pengthian was also stunned in his place.
He now understood why Lu Chen had told him a month ago in prison that after the negotiations ended, he would make a choice.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Grandmaster; he no longer needed to consider anything, did he?
This was an existence bound to become a Great Grandmaster, and might even break through to the Celestial Realm in the future.
The rule on the grasslands was to bow to the strong, the strongest is the leader.
To submit to a future possible Celestial realm power was not shameful at all.
Feeling the formidable aura of the Martial Artist coming from Lu Chen, Yelv Nanyan’s delicate body trembled slightly.
She had no choice left.
Either become this young man’s woman, or have only a dead end.
At this moment, a Barbarian Tribe soldier suddenly ran from behind to Yelv Nanyan’s side, and with a panicked look, whispered something in her ear. Yelv Nanyan’s face turned even paler.
Yelv Nanyan couldn’t help but look up at the young man before her, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Lu Chen had already guessed what the Barbarian Tribe soldier had told Yelv Nanyan, so he took the initiative to say, “Oh, that’s right, I forgot to tell you, half a month ago 1 had already sent word to the various tribes of the grasslands about the defeat of the Sky Wolf King. I believe by now the North Fre King must be searching the world over for your Sky Wolf King’s royal court.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the Barbarian Tribe elders’ faces changed drastically, knowing that once the North Fre King learned of their defeat, he would definitely search everywhere for them and then plunder their tribes.
Lu Chen continued, “You now have only two choices, either accept my terms and move all your people into North City, and your queen marries me, becoming my woman,”
“Or, you can retreat and fight the North Fre King in a battle to the death.”
“Additionally, the North Fre King might not know the location of your royal court, but I do. 1 believe this information would be of great value to the North Fre King.”
At this moment, the Barbarian Tribe’s elders all wanted to curse Lu Chen for his despicable and shameless behavior, but like fish on a chopping board, they had no choice but to bow their heads.
“I have plenty of time and can wait for you to discuss this slowly, but before the sunset, I expect a definitive answer from you.”
With that, Lu Chen turned and walked towards the Black Cavalry, but he did not leave.
At that moment, the Black Cavalry brought out a table and immediately spread out all the food they had prepared onto it, and even poured a cup of wine for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen sat at the table and sipped the fine wine.
Meanwhile,
Yelv Nanyan and a few elders of the Barbarian Tribe still hadn’t spoken, remaining silent.
It seemed they had reached a dead end already.
No, to be more precise, they had embarked on a path of no return since the moment they decided to attack North City.
They had chosen a foe they should never have engaged.
Without doubt, the North Prince was the nemesis of their Sky Wolf King tribe, they hadn’t faced anyone like him before.
The end days for the Sky Wolf King tribe had indeed arrived.
After a prolonged silence, Yelv Nanyan finally said, “Setting aside whether we can leave this place today in front of four Grandmasters, even if we return, I fear we cannot withstand the North Fre King’s slaughter.”
The High Priest said, “Queen, do we really have no choice but to disband our tribe?”
Yelv Nanyan replied, “If the North Prince genuinely wants to take in our Sky Wolf King tribe, relocating to North City might not be a bad thing for us, but he would never allow us to keep the tribe intact. That would be a huge threat to North City, and he wouldn’t permit such a threat to exist.”
Hearing Yelv Nanyan’s words, the High Priest of the Sky Wolf King tribe closed his eyes, appearing utterly exhausted. He then said, “Queen, whatever you decide, we will follow.”
Just then, Lu Chen said to Xiao Pengthian behind him, “General Xiao, you can go and reunite with your people now.”
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Xiao Pengthian was slightly taken aback.
He asked in disbelief, “You dare let me go over there? Aren’t you afraid I’ll just run away?”
Lu Chen took a sip of wine and then said, “If you think you can escape, you’re welcome to try.”
Xiao Pengthian glanced at Wenren Lie not far away. It was Wenren Lie’s hammer strike that had knocked him unconscious before, and he was still daunted by the thought of Wenren Lie’s hammer.
He let out a deep sigh, then walked towards Yelv Nanyan and the others.
Seeing Xiao Pengthian coming from Lu Chen’s side, Xiao Wenyao was extremely excited. She hurried over, grabbed Xiao Pengthian’s hand, and sobbed, “Uncle! Thank goodness you’re alive!”
Xiao Pengthian patted Xiao Wenyao’s head and said, “Yaoyao, don’t cry, your uncle is fine, let’s go over there first.”
Xiao Wenyao nodded, and the two approached Yelv Nanyan.
Xiao Pengthian, seeing Yelv Nanyan, bowed and said, “My respects to the Queen.”
Seeing that Xiao Pengthian was released by Lu Chen, Yelv Nanyan sighed and asked, “General Xiao, what is your choice?”
