Chapter 845 - Expansion of the Crimson Clan
Chapter 845 Expansion of the Crimson Clan
The outcome was well and truly beyond everyone’s expectations.
When Greem walked out of the arena while tossing around the strange red eye in his hand, the stands were utterly silent.
The spectating adepts watched him silently with complicated looks in their eyes. For a moment, not a single person walked forward to congratulate him.
In the end, it was Mary and Billis who, all smiles, gathered at Greem’s side and offered their blessings.
A trace of a smile finally appeared on Adept Laurent’s face. He strode to Greem’s side and loudly said, “Very good! I never expected you to be hiding such a special trick. Good…very good.”
Greem knew that Laurent was probably cursing him somehow in his heart right now. As such, he showed no courtesies.
However, when the entire Ailovis region had become the land of the Crimson Clan, the Kamala Clan would still have an exceedingly hard time trying to continue living in the gaps between the Crimson Clan’s influence.
Without resource sites, they lost their spring of adept resources. Without worldly territories, they lost their source for new apprentices. These two things were the foundation for any adept clan to last long.
Now, the Kamala Clan had lost both!
Following Layton Academy’s announcement, the Kamala Clan also announced their retreat into their headquarters, no longer involving themselves with any of the local matters in Ailovis.
Thus, with the stepping down of one adept organization after another, the Crimson Clan truly started rising!
Greem immediately hid within his room once he returned to Fire Throne. Mary and Gargamel were the ones to give the order for three dozen Crimson adepts to walk out of the tower and be stationed in various resource sites across Ailovis.
For a time, the Crimson Clan had a total of one First Class resource site, seven Second Class resource sites, and sixteen Third Class resource sites. The number of worldly territories and human cities was uncountable.
After five busy years, the Crimson Clan finally finished its initial distribution for the worldly territories and the change in management. The Crimson Clan’s lands took up over sixty percent of Ailovis. It was an area of over two thousand square kilometers that was split into one dukedom, three marquisdoms, four counties, and plenty of viscounties and baronies.
There were a total of seventeen human cities in this massive territory, along with two hundred and sixty-three towns and villages, one million subjects, and seven mines and quarries.
The Crimson Clan’s adepts were simply far too insufficient after gaining all this land. Thus, they started to hire and recruit a group of wandering adepts as well and barely managed to keep the entire area running.
In terms of just the number of adepts and the area of their territory, the Crimson Clan had already far surpassed their old masters– the Sarubo Clan. They were now a sizeable adept clan that couldn’t live up to their name.
The only thing that the Crimson Clan was lacking now was presentable high-grade adepts.
It was fortunate that they had a Third Grade thunder dragon and a Third Grade emerald dragon as their ultimate fighting force. That was the only thing that kept the Crimson Clan’s highest military power from being too lacking. Otherwise, such a ‘bloated’ and ‘fat’ body would have attracted the scheming eyes of the outside world.
During this period of change and turbulence, the Crimson Clan leader that obtained the first victory ever in the World of Adepts against an adept of a grade above him had been hiding in his tower. He had not shown his face at all.
Thus, the years passed by just like that, one by one.
