2108 The Legend Shrouded in Moonlight!
Lin Yuan did not stay after solving the issue but returned to the underground palace instead.
However, he did not know that he had just cemented himself as a legend in the Iron Hammer Federation.
The legend would say that after the Iron Hammer Federation’s G.o.ddess saved the citizens, a G.o.dly being even more powerful than the G.o.ddess had wrapped himself in moonlight in the middle of the blazing day and used sand and vines to save the entire Iron Hammer Federation. When the G.o.ddess was later threatened by a traitor, the G.o.dly being had used a stream of water to protect her.
The Iron Hammer Federation had always wors.h.i.+ped the snow beast on the snowy mountain.
!!But ever since this event, a statue of a G.o.d shrouded in moonlight and wielding a stream of water and sand appeared in the snow beast’s temple. This statue represented rich fertility. There was a statue of the G.o.ddess next to the G.o.dly being, who was only one head shorter than the G.o.dly being.
The shrine in the depths of Lin Yuan’s soul started to change.
He had not had a chance to investigate the changed shrine yet, but the faith power continued to acc.u.mulate.
Lin Yuan believed that it would be better to possess as much faith power as possible. Thus, he also yearned to acc.u.mulate it. He was always thinking of ways to gather as much faith power as possible.
Lin Yuan did not think about faith power with this appearance.
But once he returned to the underground palace, he noticed that there were many more dots of light in the shrine in his soul.
He realized that the tribe members of the Iron Hammer Federation were good sources of faith power.
Lin Yuan intended to give Luo Lan some instructions once she returned.
Now that he had made good on his promise to her, he had the right to request anything of her.
With help from Luo Lan, who was currently the First Princess of the Iron Hammer Federation but was soon going to be its ruler, Lin Yuan would eventually be able to attain the faith of every tribe member from the Iron Hammer Federation.
But it went without saying that these were all just hypothetical plans at this stage.
The most important thing that Lin Yuan needed to do now was come up with a way to combat Fifth Page Truth.
Luo Lan had appeared and used her own means to control the situation.
The tribe members who had traveled all the way here and had managed to keep from starving to death while being held captive by the sea of flowers were the most elite combat power that the tribes could offer.
With these people loyal to Luo Lan, she would be able to take back the throne from Luo Cai as long as the Truth a.s.sociation did not step in to help him.
With the crown on her head, Luo Lan had a much more legitimate claim to the throne than Luo Cai.
Although Luo Lan had been shocked by Lin Yuan’s methods, she was not shocked when he left.
Rather, she turned to the experts around her who had wanted to s.h.i.+eld her and said, “Go and continue handing out the vines. Once everyone has eaten a leaf, each of them can keep two leaves and one vine for themselves. After eating one leaf, they won’t have to eat again for the next five to ten days. With the vines, they won’t have to worry about food for the next month!”
Luo Lan jumped down from the statue made of sand and started to heal the injured tribe members just like she did before.
Not all the tribes of the Iron Hammer Federation had arrived at the border at the same time. Thus, there were still more who were entering the sea of flowers under orders of the imperial guards.
Silver Corona gathered them within the sea of bone lotus flowers, and the members of the Black Gold tribes immediately handed the Soldier Ration Radishes to them to save those who were on the brink of starvation.
Lin Yuan knew that he had ruined the Truth a.s.sociation’s plan for the Iron Hammer Federation to start a war and that news of this would soon reach Fifth Page Truth and Luo Cai.
At that time, both parties would jump into action.
What Lin Yuan needed to do next was wait.
For the next two days, Lin Yuan’s life was abnormally quiet. But he knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Luo Lan had already returned to the underground palace.
She had not had a single night of good rest ever since she found out that her father was dead and she had to flee from the Iron Hammer Federation.
She had just been working non-stop for two days.
But when she returned to the underground palace, she looked extremely excited.
Lin Yuan could see grat.i.tude br.i.m.m.i.n.g in her eyes.
He did not give her the chance to thank him and said, “You should have done all you needed to do in the past two days. You’ve done well! Much better than I imagined! What are you planning on doing next with the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members?”
Luo Lan was silent for a moment before she said, “Lord Lin Yuan, none of the experts from the Iron Hammer Federation need to keep their heads low out of hunger anymore. I want to bring some of them with me to take back the imperial court!
“I know that you are almighty. I can’t deal with the Truth a.s.sociation, so please provide your protection! However, Luo Cai killed my father and ruined the future of the entire Iron Hammer Federation. It will take more than 20 years for the population of the Iron Hammer Federation to recover. I want to personally lead these tribe members who are lucky enough to survive into the imperial court to seek revenge against Luo Cao.”
Lin Yuan looked at Luo Lan with surprise.
He had not expected her to be so hot-blooded.
Luo Lan wanted to lead the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members back to the Iron Hammer Federation.
With the Soldier Ration Radishes, they did not have to fear going hungry.
However, things were not as simple as Luo Lan thought.
Lin Yuan did not know what Fifth Page Truth was capable of.
His goal was to reduce the entire Startling Lines Continent into a mayhem of bloodshed until all the citizens from the three federations lost their lives to war.
Lin Yuan had saved these tribe members who had been slated to be collected by the grim reaper.
It was likely that Fifth Page Truth would still find a way to claim their lives.
Thus, it was a very dangerous decision for Luo Lan to lead the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members back to the imperial court at such a time.
Ta Lei’s city was still in the process of being built. Although there was help from the Land Imps, there were not enough Spirit Craftsmen or manpower to start carving into the scaffolding that the Land Imps had set up.
Ever since the construction of Ta Lei’s city began, Lin Yuan saw it as the core of the entire Startling Lines Continent as well as the largest customer for Sky City’s resources.
Hence, the size and scale of the city were comparable to that of Sacred Forest City. In fact, it was even larger than Sacred Forest City.
This was why construction was still not done despite having help from so many Land Imps.
