Chapter 613
When the kneeling young man heard the question that contained a profound implication in it, thousands of thoughts of mixed feelings rose in his heart .
The scenes of the most profound memories of life flashed in Yeegan's mind . The intense expression of despair, rage, unwillingness, and self-blaming that only a king of a perished nation would have appeared on the face of his father, who ordered him to change into servant's clothing a few years ago when the king castle was destroyed by the Atandin people . The hopeful look that forever etched in the eyes of his excellent teacher and worthy friend, Holby, who always followed him despite being captured and sold as slaves by the abominable foreign tribe's chaos army . The greedy faces of the slave merchants who did not give a damn when his thin partners were stabbed by the barbarian warriors in the throats because of their cries of panic after the slave ships sent them to the desolate Hellfire islands . The Wizard Li God's inexplicable smile when he risked his life to see the god to borrow an army to resurrect his nation after he put in great effort to become a Holy See knight when the Wizard Li's expeditionary army raided the Green Leaf Mainland and gained a strong foothold on the mainland . The ecstatic cheers and shouts of his compatriots who had been persecuted by the foreign tribes when he ascended the Skybeast that was as big as a city to lead tens of thousands of army to return to his ancestral habitat that was thousands of miles away and raided his first oasis in the desolate corner of Songee Desert…
Yeegan fell into a moment of silence before answering dryly, \"Great God, the reason I present myself in front of you is to grant you with the devout faith of millions of the sand people and ask your Holy See in the mortal world to take over all the oases I recovered . \"
When Zhang Lisheng heard that the reason why Yeegan, who decided to disguise himself to meet with him, was to give up his authority, a subtle change suddenly could be seen on his expression .
After a moment of silence, he said, \"Knight Yeegan, you had a vengeful battle against the Atandin people in Songee Desert by just relying on 50,000 paladins and managed to gain the support of millions of sand people in a short time . You have shaken the Atandin palace and tied the limbs of the Atandin people, causing them to be unable to join the mainland coalition forces . You have accomplished a merit great enough for me to bestow a land to you . However, the world of the theocratic world that I created can never retain the aristocratic class of the feudal lord, so I can't let you restore your country . However, as a god known for his generosity, I'll not be stingy to a believer who has a prominent accomplishment . I'll grant you the status of a chief priest, and Songee Desert will be designated as your parish in the future . \"
In the land shrouded by the Wizard Li faith, the religious authority and the political power were merged into one body . A chief priest who held a parish equivalent to a kingdom had power and influence similar to the ancient king . Although his status was not hereditary, Wizard Li priests were allowed to get married and possess private properties . It was not difficult for the high-ranking people to protect their children, and so, the bestowal that Yeegan received was not too harsh compared to his merits .
However, to an ambitious king who resurrected his kingdom and shone surprisingly bright through the short period of hardening in the battle of life and death, Yeegan felt a strong unjust in his heart . Nevertheless, the current situation was no longer the same as a few months before . Even a fool would know that it was only a matter of time for the Wizard Li faith to shroud the entire mainland . A hindrance would inevitably be crushed, so he had no choice but to yield .
\"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, Great God,\" Going against his own wishes and listening to his aides' suggestion, this sand king who sold himself at a high price in advance could only show his gratitude on a delighted pretense .
Zhang Lisheng did not give too much care despite seeing through the unwillingness in the eyes of Yeegan, who had a delighted expression . A true outstanding monarch and wise man would not hold a superstitious belief in other existences beside himself, so it was just natural for the young man to not force it .
Secretly smiling to himself, he ordered the choresman beside him, \"Send for Sarunono, Dupanki, and Sulusasa… The nine Legion Commanders will accompany Chief Priest Yeegan to return to Songee Desert on airship and attack the enemy from behind . The rest of the regiments will fight in the front line of the battlefield . It's important to prevent the Atandin people from defending its front and back, so they can be wiped out in one fell swoop . \"
\"Yes, Great God!\" The native choresman kowtowed and retreated . Then, Yeegan also left the tent respectfully .
Looking at his disappearing back, Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself, \"I hope that you'll not transform your unwillingness into action…\"
Standing up, he waved his hand and consolidated thick fog to hide his figure . When he reappeared once again, he was already on an airship's pod that looked indistinguishable from a typical public transport airship .
A few minutes later, the airship slowly lifted off, buried itself into the sea of clouds, and quickly disappeared…
The heat in September was gradually dissipating . In the flat plains that had four distinct seasons, the Lange City, located in the Hedontee Province that was initially part of the Fran Kingdom was already bathed in pleasant and comfortable autumn .
When the Wizard Li army conquered Fran, other than some medium-scale battles in the frontier region, the kingdom caught in the civil war already won with unstained swords . Most of the cities were unaffected by the conflicts, so other than a lack of surrounding walls and an additional majesty gloomy temple, there was not much change in this vast industrial city built in the mining area compared to the era of the king .
In the early morning, the airship station in the suburbs of Lange City was already crowded with merchants engaged in seasonal goods business and travelers who planned to travel far .
