"Great, our Zhao Family finally has a second titled Monarch." The old patriarch, the Iron Leg King, laughed heartily with an excited expression.
The other members of the Zhao Family were also very excited. Their previous depression had been swept away.
One had to know that although there were many titled Monarchs in the universe, there weren't many of them. If a family could have a titled Monarch, then that family would truly be considered a high class family and would be famous for a hundred thousand years. On the other hand, it would only be a large local family.
"What a pity." The Iron Leg King said regretfully, "If only it had been a little earlier."
If Zhao Yang had become a titled Monarch earlier, the Zhao Family would have continued to inherit Sparkle City.
"That's right. It's very difficult to obtain Sparkle City now."
Zhao Fu knew how high the status of the new city lord was. In the human army, only three-star purple gold commanders or five-star generals had the right to own a rank three life planet's main city. In other words, Ye Chen was either a three-star purple gold commander or a five-star general. However, generals had to be titled Monarchs. Since Ye Chen wasn't an Monarch, he was naturally a three-star purple gold commander.
"You can only gain by giving up. We can offer one billion yuan stones and let him choose a new main city."
Zhao Yang said.
"One billion yuan stones is too much. Even if we obtain Sparkle City, it will take us many years to earn one billion yuan stones."
"That's right, too much."
"I think five hundred million is enough. We just need to let him choose a new main city."
The discussion in the conference hall became louder. Most of them objected.
Hearing the discussions, Zhao Yang sneered, "If you can't even give up one billion yuan stones, how can you even talk about owning Sparkle City? I'm over three thousand years old this year. After inheriting the position of Sparkle City Lord, I'll have been here for nearly a hundred thousand years. Everyone should know how much wealth I can accumulate in a hundred thousand years!"
In theory, occupying a rank three life planet's main city could accumulate several hundred billion yuan stones in a hundred thousand years. Of course, this was only in theory. For example, an ordinary person could earn a lot in their lifetime, but their savings were pitifully small.
The distribution of the clan's wealth, nurturing the younger generation, purchasing all sorts of secret arts, dealing with unexpected situations, issuing exploration missions, befriending Sovereigns — all of these required essence stones. For a clan with a Level 3 life planet's main city, it was already very exaggerated for it to accumulate one hundred billion essence stones over a hundred thousand years. Normally, it would only be several tens of billions. The stronger one was, the more essence stones they would need.
The Old Ancestor of the Zhao Family offended too many people. After he died, his enemies all wanted to take revenge on the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family had to spend half of the family's wealth to settle these matters. Therefore, the Zhao Family's wealth was a little less, but it was still around 10 billion. 1 billion wasn't a small amount.
"What if one billion is not enough?"
Zhao Fu frowned.
"1.5 billion then." Zhao Yang's bottom line was no more than two billion. Everyone had their own bottom line. His bottom line was four times that of Ironwater King.
"No, what I mean is that the other party might not care about the benefits in front of them. You have to know that most of the empty main cities don't seem to have city lords, but they are all occupied by large clans. If every clan wants to use essence stones to make the other party compromise, then it will be very difficult for the other party to choose a satisfactory main city. Moreover, the upper echelons of the human race will not allow them to go back on their word again and again." Zhao Fu could see this more clearly than anyone else.
Zhao Yang was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "Anyway, Spark City must belong to our Zhao Family."
…
Spark City Lord Residence.
The high-ranking officers of the city guard army arrived first. Following them, the high-ranking officers of the Spark Army also arrived in groups of twos and threes.
At this moment, the City Lord Residence's meeting hall was overcrowded. Fortunately, this hall was large enough that nearly a thousand people could sit inside without feeling cramped.
"With the new city lord taking office, the Zhao Family will probably be purged."
The one who spoke was the commander of the Seventh Army of the Spark Army.
The ninth army commander nodded slowly, "Among the high-ranking officers of the city guard army and the Spark Army, the Zhao Family occupies twenty to thirty percent. The new city lord will not allow the Zhao Family to monopolize the city."
The Spark Army had a total of ten commanders. However, apart from the seventh and ninth armies, the other eight commanders were all Life and Death Kings of the Zhao Family or close to the Zhao Family. The fact that the two of them could become commanders was actually the Zhao Family's superficial effort. As for the city guard army, it was naturally under the Zhao Family's control.
"I hope this purge won't be too big." The ninth army commander continued.
He cherished the position of commander very much. The city guard army and the Spark Army had a salary. Ordinary soldiers received upper grade spirit stones, basic officers received supreme grade spirit stones, and middle and high ranking officers received yuan stones. The annual salary of the Spark Army's branch officer was three hundred yuan stones, the captain one thousand yuan stones, the captain three thousand yuan stones, and the commander ten thousand yuan stones. It did not seem like a lot, but there was basically no danger to their lives. They didn't need to explore or join the human army. As Life and Death Kings, their lifespans were extremely long. After ten thousand years, the commander's position would definitely allow them to accumulate a net worth of tens of millions.
Not to mention, at their position, the additional income was not small, and they could often make a small fortune.
Once they lost this position, they could only wander around like other Life and Death Kings or join the human army. Perhaps they could make a fortune for a while, but the risk was too high, and they could easily lose their lives.
Of course, to become a commander, one had to first reach the sixth layer of Life and Death Realm.
Footsteps echoed as Ye Chen walked in from the side door of the hall. Behind him was Rose King.
"City Lord!"
Everybody in the hall stood up.
Sweeping his gaze over everybody, Ye Chen waved his hand, indicating for everybody to sit down.
"Those who didn't come are all relieved of their duties."
Ye Chen said to Rose King.
"Yes."
Rose King's current status was that of a vice city lord.
Everybody in the hall was startled, inwardly rejoicing that they had arrived quickly.
Glancing at Rose King, Ye Chen said, "From now on, Rose King is the vice city lord of Spark Flower City. Seeing her is the same as seeing me. For those who disobey, I advise you to leave right now. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"Rest assured, City Lord. We will certainly follow your orders."
Everybody was clear that by climbing on the high branch of City Lord, Rose King and her family could be said to have skyrocketed. Who would dare to be disrespectful to Rose King? As for City Lord's means, they didn't doubt it at all. Before coming, they had already received the news that Spark Flower City's former city lord, Zhao Clan's patriarch, Iron Water King, had been killed on the spot for disrespecting City Lord. They didn't think that their necks were tougher than Iron Water King's.
Clearing his throat, the Rose King looked at the crowd and said, "The commander of the Fourth Corps of the Spark Army, the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth captains of the Fourth Corps … are all dismissed. The commander of the Sixth Corps, the first, second, third, fourth, sixth, eighth, and ninth captains of the Sixth Corps … are all dismissed."
Spark Flower Army and City Guard Army had a total of eleven commanders. Four of them had come, but at this moment, two of them had been dismissed. There were also a large number of captains, colonels, and branch captains.
The seventh army's commander's brows twitched. The two dismissed commanders were the upper echelons of Scarlet Fire Gang and Sky Fire Gang. Among the nine factions, these two gangs were undoubtedly Zhao Clan's lackeys.
