After the Skyfall

Chapter 863 The Warrior's Loyalty

As ancient oaths echoed within the Red Gold Mountain, the tribal chiefs and high priests who had arrived here pledged their allegiance to the Red Mountain God, Da Yi, expressing their willingness to serve the Red Mountain God for generations to come.

Thus, Li Yi successfully took over an enormous force.

“Great God of Chishan, I cannot express my gratitude to you. I can only offer you the most beautiful woman in our tribe, and I hope that you will accept her.”

After the oath of allegiance was sworn, the high priest of the tribe shouted, and at the same time brought out the tribe's most beautiful concubines.

As this practice emerged, other tribes also offered up their most beautiful women, hoping that these beauties would stay on Mount Chijin to serve the gods.

Upon seeing the beautiful concubines in the main hall, Eji and Suji, who were beside Li Yi, immediately became nervous.

Although they did not want to see this happen, as gods, it was obviously not enough for only the two beauties by their side. This would not be able to strengthen the divine bloodline family, nor would it be able to maintain the Crimson Gold Kingdom.

But Li Yi laughed and said, "Take all the girls from your tribe back with you. They should belong to the strong and brave warriors of your tribe. I will not take away other people's good things."

He refused the high priests' offer of help.

While the high priests were somewhat disappointed, many of the tribe's powerful warriors were overjoyed.

The story of the most beautiful girl and the most powerful warrior is a beautiful tale in every tribe, and no warrior in any tribe wants to see the jewel of their tribe fall into the hands of someone else.

For the sake of the tribe, they dared not disobey the will of a local god, after all, they had sworn an oath to be loyal to the Crimson Gold Mountain God, but deep down they were not entirely happy.

As an Earthling, Li Yi was all too familiar with the tragedies brought about by love, hate, and grudges. He didn't want a powerful warrior to suddenly appear and challenge him, a god, for the sake of some girl.

It would be best to help others achieve their goals.

soon.

The tribal chiefs and high priests began to leave, carrying with them the three rules of the Red Mountain God, returning to their tribes to spread this important news throughout the land.

In an instant, all the tribes cheered.

From this day forward, they will be under the protection of a god, and this god of the Red Mountain will not require their offerings. The only requirement is that the strongest warrior in their tribe pledge allegiance to this god.

This cost is almost negligible.

After all, once the tribe has protection, even powerful warriors who stay in the tribe are of little use. Following a god to fight might bring greater rewards to the tribe.

However, High Priest Dou Kun has quite a busy time ahead of him.

Since some tribal chiefs came seeking help, and Li Yi had already agreed to protect their safety, he naturally had to deal with some of their troubles. All the troubles they needed to resolve would be explained to High Priest Dou Kun.

Afterwards, High Priest Dou Kun would arrange for powerful warriors to solve these problems for them. If there were any that they couldn't handle, then Li Yi would have to step in personally.

But High Priest Dou Kun was clever; he would entrust these problems to the warriors loyal to Crimson Gold Mountain, gather the strength of all the tribes, and help govern this Crimson Gold Kingdom, so that he would not need to trouble the Lord.

However, to be on the safe side, Li Yi decided to stay on Crimson Gold Mountain for a while. Only after confirming that there were no problems would he choose to leave and return to Earth. Of course, before leaving, he would also arrange for people to manage the area.

During the few days that Li Yi stayed at Crimson Gold Mountain, he could sense powerful warriors entering Crimson Gold City one after another. These warriors were all at the Mountain Lord level. The two most powerful ones were a pair of brothers from the Heavenly Vein Tribe, whose strength had reached the level of the 30th Mountain Lord.

"Greetings, God of Red Mountain." The two warriors, both at the level of the Thirty Mountain Lords, came to the main hall and respectfully bowed to Li Yi.

"The Heavenly Vein Tribe, the lords of the Thirty Mountains, Jiao Cang and Ji Ao." Li Yi's gaze swept over them slightly, and some records sent by the mountain fruit surfaced in his mind.

Every warrior sent from a tribe is registered, and their name, strength, and tribe affiliation are recorded.

The Thirty Mountain Lords are as strong as two peak Three-Flower Realm cultivators working together, which is quite impressive. If they learn the cultivation method and gain magical power, they will definitely be a formidable general.

However, the Tianmai tribe is relatively poor. Even the Thirty Mountain Lord's crimson-gold armor is old and damaged, with pits and dents, bearing many traces of battle.

“Your strength is not bad. The fact that the Tianmai Tribe sent you here is enough to show your tribe’s loyalty. As the God of Chishan, your lord, I bestow upon you Crimson Gold Armor and Crimson Gold Divine Sword.”

Li Yi waved his hand, and several beams of crimson-gold divine light flew out, directly adorning their bodies. The armor shimmered with light, displaying extraordinary defensive power. Moreover, as a crimson-gold artifact, it could freely change size according to the body. If infused with magic power, its defense would be even more astonishing.

"Thank you for the blessing from the God of Red Mountain." The two warriors were overjoyed. They stroked their brand-new armor and sharp swords, and a strong sense of confidence welled up in their hearts.

With such weapons, they would definitely be able to defeat even stronger alien beasts and enemies.

“Go ahead, there are designated accommodations for you on Crimson Gold Mountain, and someone will arrange for you to stay,” Li Yi said.

The two warriors left the main hall with excitement and joy, and then servants guided them to the warriors' quarters. As the lords of the Thirty Mountains, they had their own separate residences and their own servants.

All of this was thanks to Xiu Xiang; for the construction of Chijin Mountain, he had to purchase a large number of slaves.

Although slavery is not a good system, Li Yi would not go against the traditions of this world. He could only do as the Romans do. All he could do was ensure the normal lives and safety of these slaves.

Li Yi received many powerful warriors one after another, and there were occasional surprises. For example, he gained the service of a warrior named Xun Fei, who was a level 50 mountain lord.

His tribe was also a large tribe, but compared to a god, it was still very weak, so he followed the rules and joined the Kingdom of Crimson Gold.

Li Yi planned to arrange for a Taoist master to teach these warriors for a period of time before they could be deployed.

After all, one must at least learn some basic spells and cultivation techniques.

Relying solely on brute force is a huge disadvantage in combat. Even if they learned martial arts from all over the world, these primitive people who rely entirely on muscles could experience a dramatic increase in strength.

In less than ten days, Li Yi had gained dozens of powerful warriors.

"If only I had the Lord of a Hundred Mountains to pledge his allegiance," he thought to himself, while also acknowledging the Lord of a Hundred Mountains' strength.

However, the Lords of a Hundred Mountains rarely pledge allegiance to a local god, because they themselves have the potential to become local gods.
