Chapter 218: The Surrender of the Sea Breeze Tribe
The team that rushed over to intercept from the Sea Breeze Tribe was certainly powerful.
Among the marine fierce beasts that came quickly, there were at least hundreds with a stronger presence than the swamp crocodile.
Some of these were even top fierce beasts that Yi Chen felt wary of.
Moreover, even more powerful fierce beasts were continuously arriving from the surroundings.
The sight was undeniably impressive.
But in front of Yi Chen, they were all insignificant.
His divine consciousness was the greatest nemesis of this incredible external force.
In an instant, the headbands on the foreheads of those Sea Breeze Tribe members flew up into the air.
No matter how loudly they shouted, the headbands coldly refused to turn back.
In the blink of an eye, the powerful fierce beasts they controlled began to heed Yi Chen’s commands and gathered in a designated area.
Before they could even grasp the situation, a large group of tribe members flying in the air descended from the sky and appeared before them.
They had no time to question and were all knocked out immediately.
The entire process was seamless and fluid.
They couldn’t exert any of the power of their controlled fierce beasts.
This was still because Yi Chen did not intend to harm anyone, making the process a bit more troublesome.
If it were another race, it would seem like a powerful mountain, but could be wiped out in minutes.
After dealing with the Sea Breeze Tribe members and marine fierce beasts who came to assist, the army quickly advanced.
Soon, they reached the island.
With a command from the leader of the four armies, the army split into two from both ends of the island’s edge, starting to advance at full speed to surround the entire island.
Then they slowly tightened the encirclement.
Yi Chen instructed Bai Ruo Xin to control the flying treasure, taking a group of warriors to continuously circle the island.
They were responsible for dealing with those Sea Breeze Tribe members rushing over to provide support.
Everything progressed smoothly.
Inside the island, there were just over ten thousand Sea Breeze Tribe members.
In less than two hours, with the speed of the army, they had completely controlled both the Sea Breeze Tribe members and the spirit mine in the center of the island.
What surprised Yi Chen even more was that the tribal chief of the Sea Breeze Tribe chose to surrender decisively.
This was much smoother than he had anticipated.
He had been prepared to conquer one island after another, anticipating disturbances caused by Sea Breeze Tribe members controlling strong fierce beasts.
After being captured on the island, the tribal chief not only was willing to surrender but also wished to cooperate in receiving other islands.
This could significantly shorten the time needed for the Flame Mountain Tribe to conquer the entire Sea Breeze Tribe.
The Political Council was also able to smoothly utilize various policies and benefits to assimilate the Sea Breeze Tribe members in a shorter amount of time.
This was undoubtedly great news for Yi Chen.
“Let’s stick to the original plan and patrol between the major islands. If any unexpected situations arise, we will provide support immediately.”
Yi Chen calculated for a moment and instructed Bai Ruo Xin to carry out the plan.
After all, with Bai Ruo Xin as the driver, it wouldn’t matter where they were; it wouldn’t hinder him from constructing the law seals for the Spirit Gathering Formation.
While patrolling between the major islands, they could respond and handle any urgent situations quickly.
“Okay!”
Bai Ruo Xin nodded, controlling the stone house as it circled around the island.
Soon, a batch of backup troops brought the Sea Breeze Tribe members to hand over to the logistics team.
The four armies and the remaining backup troops then split into several paths and headed to nearby islands.
Bai Ruo Xin then directed the stone house straight to the central island.
This way, they could quickly rush to any side that needed support.
Inside the stone house, Yi Chen began to focus on constructing the law seals for the Spirit Gathering Formation.
He maintained a frequency of creating one every three days or so.
However, upon reaching the first layer of the Stage of Separation, the strength of the law seals he constructed would be significantly higher.
His time began to split into two.
After constructing three or four law seals, he would then train for a while.
Occasionally, he would deal with scattered Sea Breeze Tribe members controlling powerful fierce beasts.
Time flew by.
With the cooperation of the Sea Breeze Tribe members, the reception went extremely smoothly.
The four armies and backup troops easily landed on various islands and convinced the tribe members there to relocate.
The relocation destination was not the valley where the Flame Mountain Tribe was gathered, but rather the Royal City that was under construction.
The area of the valley simply couldn’t accommodate over seven hundred thousand tribe members.
Although the Royal City was still being built, it covered an extensive area with all kinds of materials readily available.
With all hands on deck, they could quickly construct temporary wooden houses to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
This shift completely redirected the focus of the entire Political Council towards the Royal City.
After all, the sudden increase of over seven hundred thousand tribe members, who had lived on islands for years, brought persistent issues.
Surrender did not mean there would be no attempts to escape or rebel, nor did it mean they could easily adapt to life on the plains and successfully integrate into the entire Flame Mountain Tribe.
Managing these aftermaths would require substantial time and effort from the Political Council to resolve.
The successful relocation of the entire Sea Breeze Tribe in batches to the Royal City resulted in a stream of good news.
First and foremost, the population of the Flame Mountain Tribe surged from just over one hundred thousand to over eight hundred thousand, which greatly pleased Yi Chen.
With a population of over eight hundred thousand, in due time, that would mean over eighty thousand Iron Blood soldiers and several hundred thousand backup troops.
Additionally, the area of influence expanded from over eleven million square kilometers to over nineteen million square kilometers.
The sea areas connecting the major islands were all included within this territory.
This enlargement increased Yi Chen’s additional talent bonus from eleven times to nineteen times.
Both his training speed and skill creation would see significant improvements as a result.
Besides these remarkable gains, there was another surprise: the various spirit mines and spirit materials collected by the Sea Breeze Tribe were far more than he could count.
In fact, they exceeded his expectations by leaps and bounds.
He knew that the resources in the ocean might surpass those on land, but he had not anticipated the staggering quantity of spirit materials and mines that the Sea Breeze Tribe had obtained through the marine fierce beasts they controlled.
Both in variety and quantity, they were several times what the Flame Mountain Tribe had collected over the years.
Yi Chen deliberately set aside several hours to test these spirit materials and mines.
As he expected, they contained a large number of rare spirit materials and quite a few spirit mines that could be used to refine various powerful treasures.
However, he restrained himself from refining a few good treasures and continued to focus on his training and constructing law seals.
He understood well that the urgent task was to find a way to create the ‘Cave Paradise’ within a few years.
Only by creating the ‘Cave Paradise’ could he address the issue of ordinary tribe members lacking insight and being limited to the Ninth Level of Spirit Law, as well as the increasing time top geniuses needed to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth.
This way, he could use the abundance of resources to elevate the strengths and realms of both geniuses and ordinary tribe members in the Flame Mountain Tribe dramatically.
