"Your body is filled with the power of Subspace creations. From a certain perspective, you are not merely a material being; you are more like a perfect fusion of Subspace energy and tangible matter, created using the genes of a Supreme Being. I can confirm that it is an important movement in the Great Plan of the Ancient Saints. You are a verse in that grand symphony." Mazda Moody continued, "There is no doubt that your birth is the crystallization of the Ancient Saint's sacred technology. You are the Son of the Ancient Saint."

Fugen's expression slightly changed as he recalled the origin of the Genetic Primarchs.

The creation of the Genetic Primarch has always been a mystery. What Fugen knows is that the Emperor used his own genes and unknown technology to create twenty Genetic Primarchs. Then these Primarchs were swept away by a Subspace storm used by the Chaos Evil Gods, leaving the Emperor unable to create another batch of Primarchs. He launched a Great Expedition to find these masterpieces throughout the universe.

It now seems that the Genetic Primarchs might have some connection with the Ancient Saints?

"Your arrival means a lot, Son of the Ancient Saint. May I know your name?"

"My name is Fugen." The Primarch of the Emperor's Sons quickly emerged from his confusion. These questions would make him think but would not shake his loyalty. Fugen had an inkling that the Emperor sent him here precisely to learn these things.

So, it won't be Angerong, it won't be Vulcan, it won't be Magnus, it won't be Zhuangsen, nor will it be Clarkson. None of them are suitable to make contact with these Ancient Saint servitors.

Laine is too young, and his power is not enough to force the Demon Toad into action personally. The Emperor needs Kiliman to help him manage various affairs and initiate a new round of expeditions, so this task could only fall upon himself.

This is the Emperor's arrangement, everything is within his control.

"Let your army set up camp here and wait, while you come with us to the Sun City." Mazda Moody gave Fugen enough time to think. After waiting for him to finish processing, it continued, "We want to discuss a deal with you."

After more than a year, Fugen finally obtained what he wanted. He didn't hesitate much as he knew Mazda Moody's power. If the Demon Toad teamed up with Kuga, he wouldn't stand a chance. And based on the cold, logical reasoning of these Ancient Saint servitors, they wouldn't deceive. Since Fugen has proven his strength, they would negotiate; if he happened to be killed by Kuga, it would be his own fault.

Fugen nodded, "Alright."

The Human Expeditionary Army was ordered to camp in the Lizardman ruins and wait. Though they were extremely reluctant, the human soldiers lay down the gold, silver, and various gemstones they had looted, returning them to the Lizardmen's hands before setting up camp, watching their Legion Commander leave with the Lizardmen.

...…

The next day, as the sun rose, the expeditionary soldiers, having rested for a night in exhaustion, were astonished to find the ruins piled with the gold, silver, and various gemstones they had previously surrendered. The Temple Guard Army even brought additional precious gemstones in several wooden boxes!

The Lizardmen not only returned this wealth to the expeditionary army but also offered some meat, non-toxic fruits, and many gourds filled with clean water for humans to consume.

Pilazzo was just about to scold his subordinates from eating what the Lizardmen offered, taking the Lizardmen's gold and silver, but then the Legion Commander Fugen appeared, surrounded by Temple Guards. Pilazzo quickly approached Fugen, "Legion Commander? This is…"

"This is half of the commission for the first order, my Deputy Legion Commander." Fugen, wearing a custom-made Lizardman Divine-Blessed Feather Cloak, with herbal-pouched wounds, was riding a fierce Cold Lizard, a look of relief on his face, "I have taken on several Lizardmen orders; this wealth is their deposit to us."

"What orders? Can we fulfill them?" Pilazzo and the human soldiers' eyes sparkled at the vast amount of wealth. The Ash Legion would become the richest mercenary group in the Old World!

"I have signed an alliance with the Lizardmen. We will fight for them, and they will give us wealth," Fugen said, smiling, "We agreed that many coastal ports and small plains outside the Lustria Forest, we Ash Legion can occupy at will, as long as we don't enter the rainforest. They even promised to open trade with us."

"That's truly… fantastic!" Pilazzo couldn't contain his excitement. The expeditionary soldiers, upon hearing this good news, burst into laughter, cries, and roars, each expressing the joy in their own way. More than a year's hardship had finally paid off with such a generous reward!

"Legion Commander! We listen only to you. Wherever you want us to fight, we will fight!" a soldier shouted loudly.

"Very good." Fugen's mouth curled into an eerie, cold smile, "The first order for our Ash Legion is."

"The Barbarian Tribe in the northwest of Lustria that worships Chaos, Skogji!!!"
