Chapter 3034: Chapter 3054: Our Joining is a Double Insurance for You!
"Then it seems, even if I don’t agree with you, you would still fully attack the Demon Race and fulfill a warrior’s duty. But if I do agree with you, wouldn’t my Great Wilderness Palace shoulder the blame for colluding with the Immortal Realm?"
The Palace lord sized up Lin Chen with a calm tone, clearly not wanting to get involved in trouble.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The Great Wilderness Palace already has so many from the Human Clan, one more team shouldn’t make much difference. We can be a force from the Immortal Realm or native-born Desert People."
"A force of one thousand five hundred is a mere number. If you don’t speak of it, and I don’t speak of it, who is to know I come from the Immortal Realm?"
The Palace lord stared at Lin Chen, "One thousand five hundred people breaking through four garrison points continuously without injury. Is this the standard of combat power for the armies of the Immortal Realm?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "That’s not quite it. My team has taken on several central fighters from forces with whom I have good relations. The strength of these forces is at the Top Stream within the Immortal Domain."
The Palace lord’s tone was subtly meaningful, "I see. I was wondering—if a mere thousand-soldier team possessed this level of strength, how could the Demon Race’s army break through the defenses and push forward for thousands of miles."
Lin Chen said calmly, "If the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo hadn’t taken action, perhaps what would have collapsed was not the defense line of the Immortal Realm, but rather that of the Demon World."
The Palace lord said coldly, "Do none of your Immortal Realm’s Saints take action, just watching from the sidelines?"
Lin Chen spread his hands, "I share that question, but as a mere soldier, I don’t even know who to ask. Given your noble identity, you probably know much more than I do. Could you perhaps enlighten me?"
The Palace lord was silent for a few seconds, "If I knew, why would I ask you?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Alright. The affairs of the Saints are for the Saints to handle. I just need to take care of myself. Palace lord, whether or not you accept us, at least give me a clear answer."
The Palace lord once again fell silent, obviously weighing the pros and cons. freewebnoveℓ.com
Lin Chen was not in a hurry, standing quietly in the middle of the Main Hall and waiting.
After about a minute, the voice of the Palace lord rose again, "You join the Great Wilderness Palace merely to seek refuge. Once an opportunity arises, you will naturally leave and return to the Immortal Realm. When you leave, you’ll have left all the trouble for us."
Lin Chen nodded, answering openly, "If we have a chance to return to the Immortal Realm, we definitely will. After all, that is our homeland. Moreover, this place is fraught with enemies. Staying here is far too dangerous."
"However, this time the Immortal Demon Channel is permanently sealed. The war has progressed to such an extent that the Demon World and Immortal Realm will surely determine a winner. It’s no longer the way of the past with occasional battles that end with a ceasefire."
"Although the Great Wilderness Palace is not yet involved in this war, it can’t hide forever. Sooner or later a choice must be made. Our arrival could very well be seen as a safeguard opportunity for the Great Wilderness Palace."
Lin Chen didn’t explain fully but the Palace lord seemed to understand.
If the Demon Race wins a great victory, perhaps the Great Wilderness Palace could maintain its current status, even expanding its territory due to the growth of Spiritual Soil. But what if the Immortal Realm wins a great victory?
Under the premise of an Immortal Realm victory, they may not tolerate the existence of the Great Wilderness Palace. However, if the Great Wilderness Palace accepts the Immortal Realm army beforehand and cooperates, then even if the Immortal Realm army approaches, at the very least, there would be grounds for negotiation.
"Look, we have always been enemies with the Demon God Temple, and we have taken in and protected your War God Mansion’s forces and cooperated with them. This shows that our stance is the same; we are not enemies..."
Having the steps to prove allegiance rather than enmity, coupled with the deterrence of the Great Wilderness Saint, meant that the Great Wilderness Palace carving out its own territory wasn’t impossible.
The Palace lord asked, "Do you think the Immortal Realm will be the ultimate victor?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If the Saints can’t decisively determine a victor, then this battle will drag on for a long time. Nobody dares to say who the victor will be. But concerning the current matter, no matter whether the final victor is the Immortal Realm or the Demon World, there’s only benefit and no harm for the Great Wilderness Palace!"
The Palace lord fell silent again, but this time, Lin Chen did not have to wait too long.
"I can accept you, but I have some conditions."
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "Please tell me, Palace lord."
The Palace lord began calmly, "After joining, you cannot claim to be an army from the Immortal Realm. You are one of the many forces that we have secretly nurtured. You are descendants of the Eighteen Ancestors of the Human Clan."
Lin Chen agreed without hesitation, "No problem, joining the Great Wilderness Palace, we naturally become part of the Desert People. To say that we are descendants from the Eighteen Ancestors is completely acceptable."
The Palace lord nodded, "You have a Magical Treasure that can accommodate many people and even block tracking, right? I have a mission for you to complete. With your team’s strength, it might be a bit difficult to remain undetected, but it should not be a problem."
Lin Chen asked directly, "Can you elaborate, Palace lord?"
The Palace lord replied, "I need an item that is held within a Major Force, protected by heavy guards. Normally, it’s very difficult to acquire."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, "I can give it my best shot, but I can’t guarantee success. In any action, my team’s safety is the priority."
"Before deciding to come to the Great Wilderness Palace, I even considered leading my fifteen hundred people to find a remote, uninhabited place, to claim our own territory and lay low, waiting for the Immortal Demon War to yield a result before emerging. But after thinking it over, I felt we should contribute our efforts, which is why I am now standing here."
The Palace lord nodded, "Good, do your best and leave the rest to Heaven’s Will."
Lin Chen nodded briskly, "No problem. Anything else?"
The Palace lord spoke gravely, "Lastly, since you’ve joined the Great Wilderness Palace, if there’s a battle, you too must join the fight. You can’t just hide inside the Great Wilderness Palace and idle away your days."
Lin Chen Laughed out loud, "If we were just here to idle away the days, we wouldn’t have come to the Great Wilderness Palace. Our direct attack on the four garrison points has already sufficiently proven our sincerity."
The Palace lord nodded, "Good. Welcome to the Great Wilderness Palace. From today, you’ll form your own camp, named Dawn, and will follow my orders directly."
Lin Chen sighed in relief; he would hate to have the Third Squad directly integrated into the main fighting force of the Great Wilderness Palace. Once inside the army, anyone could command them, and if they had an officer who targeted them or the Human Clan, the Third Squad would be done for.
Bulletproof vests are bulletproof, but they can’t withstand a continuous sweep of an assault rifle.
In closing, the Palace lord asked, "Do you have any requirements or anything else to say?"
After some thought, Lin Chen said, "I’d like to take some time to visit the Human Clan Ancestral Land and pay my respects to the Eighteen Ancestors."
"That is permissible."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Additionally, there are a few guys from the Mercenary Association that I’m afraid will need to be locked up..."
