Chapter 1022 - Crimson Dynasty
Chapter 1022 Crimson Dynasty
Fire Throne. Fifth level.
Inside an incredibly protected secret room.
Greem stood before an alchemy platform, silently examining the starbeast corpse lying in front of him.
The corpse was sealed in a kind of semi-translucent amber. It was a strange species completely unlike any planar creature. Its appearance was difficult to describe. At the very least, Greem had never seen anything similar in any of the planes.
In conclusion, the starbeast was like a mess of rotten meat that had grown haphazardly. It had no extended appendages or joints, nor any fixed skeletal structure. It didn’t even have defined flesh organs of any kind. Its entire body was covered in a black, hard layer of a substance that gleamed with specks of crystal light.
In all seriousness, this should be a young starbeast!
Even a youngling starbeast had the might of a Second Grade. It was more than enough proof of the dangers and terrors of the realms beyond.
Greem was like the backbone of the Crimson Clan. As long as he remained in the clan, he would be an irreplaceable guarantee and assurance to the clan members, even if he did nothing at all!
After all, it was widely rumored throughout Zhentarim that Greem, the legendary fire adept, had been listed by the various leaders of the other clans as the Third Grade that was most likely to advance to Fourth Grade. Under the effects of such a psychological expectation, any adept or organization that dared to go against the Crimson Clan would be perceived as mad. They would be foolish individuals who had no concept of a cost-benefit analysis.
The Fabres adepts that retreated to their clan territories also dejectedly acknowledged their defeat.
The Fabres Clan had to offer incredible compensation as a ransom for their captured clan adepts and elite forces before they could mend the rift and hostility between them.
Twenty-one million magical crystals.
An enormous number of magical materials and adept resources.
All Crimson nobles that defected to the Fabres Clan.
The reconstruction of a dozen Crimson cities and over a hundred castles and villas.
More than a hundred thousand otherworldly slaves.
A massive number of low-grade magical equipment, scrolls, potions, wands, and other alchemical items.
……
With this compensation, the Crimson Clan could completely rebuild the Ailovis Region and turn it into a worldly clan territory belonging to themselves. The noble territories and human kingdoms of the past had been ravaged thoroughly. It was the best opportunity to merge them and create a massive, united human kingdom.
The Crimson Dynasty!
This human kingdom, completely subordinate to the Crimson Clan, would be called the Crimson Dynasty. The king placed upon the throne would be known as Baderhorn Crimson, Adept Gargamel’s last living relative that he had scraped out from his hometown.
Due to their excellent performance in the last clan war, the human nobles that remained staunch in their support of the Crimson Clan were all promoted. Count Thomas was now Duke Thomas and owned a vast territory stretching several thousands of square kilometers.
No Crimson adept stood alone. All of them had clans and families of various sizes behind their backs that needed support. Now that there was a vast kingdom for them to reside in, they excitedly brought their relatives and kin over, creating new noble families with their own legacy territories within the Crimson Dynasty.
