"You have to consider carefully. Cooperating with the White Tiger Legion is better than cooperating with other factions."
The emissary smiled. "In this Mount Buzhou battlefield, the White Tiger Legion is the true pillar. Even if those large factions don't choose to cooperate with the White Tiger Legion, they will still give 10% of their authority to the White Tiger Legion. The White Tiger Legion will naturally provide them with better resources."
Ye Tianze fell silent. This was naturally a very good choice.
The emissary saw that he was somewhat moved and continued, "If you give half of the authority, the White Tiger Legion will fully support you. Even the large alliances won't dare to touch this place."
"Apart from giving half of the stronghold's production to the White Tiger Legion, what else do I have to give half?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Half of the contribution points earned from defending the outpost, killing spirit beasts, and killing outsiders must be given to the White Tiger Legion."
The emissary said, "The more the White Tiger Legion invests, the more they will need. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. However, the authority of the stronghold is usually managed by the owner of the stronghold. Unless it is wartime, the White Tiger Legion will not interfere with the operations of the stronghold."
Ye Tianze smiled. What tax? That was secondary. After all, the contribution points from tax weren't included in his personal contribution points.
Only the foreign races he killed and the strongholds he opened up were real contribution points.
However, it was precisely in the area of contribution points that Ye Tianze couldn't give in.
"That is to say, in the future, half of the spirit beasts and foreign races I kill outside my stronghold will be given to the White Tiger Legion?"
Ye Tianze asked. "The new strongholds I open up based on this place will also be given to the White Tiger Legion?"
"That's right."
The emissary nodded. "You should know that the White Tiger Legion's investment far surpasses your gains. After all, this is a place that can establish an alliance. In the future, it won't be a problem to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people."
"I've made my decision," Ye Tianze said. "I don't want to cooperate with the White Tiger Legion."
"Are you serious?" The emissary's face turned cold. "Do you know how many opportunities you will miss by doing this?"
"If I were to cooperate with the White Tiger Corps, I would lose even more things," Ye Tianze said. "I'm not an idiot."
"Are you really not going to consider it?" The emissary asked.
"I won't consider it," Ye Tianze said.
"But to occupy the stronghold, you need five people. Where did you get five people? Including her, you only have two people."
The emissary said, "Why can't you cooperate with other forces? As far as I know, the forces of the Southern Territory will definitely not cooperate with you, let alone the Imperial Dragon Realm Alliance. Once they know the existence of this stronghold, they will definitely attack the stronghold next time. Although you are strong, you can't resist the siege of several alliances. Then you will get nothing."
"The emissary is right. The Western Alliance will not cooperate with you. After all, this is a fat piece of meat that can be used to build a new Alliance stronghold."
"Cooperating with the White Tiger Legion is the best choice."
Ye Tianze smiled and said, "Who said I don't have five people?"
"Hmm?" The emissary was a little confused. He said with a smile, "We can't join you. We belong to the White Tiger Corps."
"Emissary, dare I ask, in the rules of the establishment of the stronghold, does it say that other creatures are not allowed to be counted as the founder of the stronghold except for humans?"
Ye Tianze asked.
"Alien races are not allowed!" The emissary said directly. But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something and wanted to block Ye Tianze's way of retreat.
Ye Tianze beat him to it and said, "Spirit beasts are not considered alien races!"
"You are making trouble!" The emissary said.
"Just answer me. Are spirit beasts considered alien races?" Ye Tianze said.
"But the rule says that only five people can open up the stronghold," the emissary said.
"Is there a rule that spirit beasts can't be counted as the founder of the stronghold except for alien races?" Ye Tianze asked.
"You!!!" The emissary was a little helpless. "No."
"Okay, then I and the tiger cubs will join the stronghold."
Ye Tianze said, "The eldest is called Big Mao, the second is called Second Mao, the third is called Third Mao, and so on … The eldest and the fourth, including me, are the founders of the stronghold."
Ye Tianze immediately took out a group of tiger cubs. They were timid and hungry. They treated Ye Tianze's finger as a nipple and kept sucking on it. They didn't know that they had already become part of the stronghold.
The Li woman was speechless. The tiger guards also shook their heads. They had seen too many strange things, but this was definitely the first time.
"Don't make trouble like this. They are not humans. They can't be the founders of the stronghold," the emissary insisted.
Ye Tianze clearly didn't want to let it go. Just as the two were arguing, the Li woman suddenly said, "Lord Emissary, if these spirit beasts recognize a master, then … they will be considered part of the human race. Naturally, they will have authority in the human race and become the founders of the stronghold. After all, our White Tiger Corps also has a team of alien races."
The emissary was stunned, then said coldly, "That team is Lord White Tiger's personal guard. It doesn't count."
"Then … does Lord Thunder count as part of the human race?" the Li woman asked.
"Mm!" The emissary immediately became cautious.
The tiger guards watched from the side but didn't interrupt.
Ye Tianze was puzzled. The Li woman explained, "Lord Thunder is Lord White Tiger's mount. His strength is at the peak of the heavenly realm. He has long been a part of the human race. Lord Thunder often represents Lord White Tiger when he travels. He is also Thunder Tiger!"
When Ye Tianze heard this, he understood. This Li woman was smart. She knew that her life was in Ye Tianze's hands. She was fighting for a chance to live.
"Lord Thunder is naturally a part of the human race!" The emissary sighed. "I say, woman, how can you not know what's good for you? He killed your senior brothers and sisters, and you are still helping him."
"A wise man submits to circumstances. If I lose my life, what's the use of knowing what's good for me?" The Li woman was very open-minded.
This made Ye Tianze have a whole new level of respect for her. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be afraid of her. This kind of person would never have the word 'loyalty' in her heart.
But Ye Tianze was different. He was confident that he could control this Li woman.
"What's your name again?" Ye Tianze asked.
"I am the flute teacher of the Snow Mountain, Lee Chao-young," the Li woman said.
"Very good. From now on, you are also a part of this stronghold. However, whether you can obtain authority will depend on your ability," Ye Tianze said.
Lee Chao-young nodded and stood up. She said to the emissary, "Since you have acknowledged Lord Thunder as a part of the human race, then these tiger cubs can also become a part of our stronghold. Therefore, Lord Emissary, please register them immediately. In addition, our stronghold does not need to be announced to the outside world for the time being. We apply to enter a period of protection immediately after the first wave of attack!"
Lee Chao-young used the rules incisively and vividly. The emissary was speechless. This also meant that the White Tiger Corps lost the opportunity to obtain authority over the stronghold.
"Yes, but … these tiger cubs must recognize a master. If these tiger cubs die, then even if half of the founders die, the stronghold will still be ownerless," the emissary retorted.
"As far as I know, other than the Beast Trainer Sect, no one else can make a spirit beast recognize a master. Forcefully making a spirit beast recognize a master will trigger the inheritance restriction in the spirit beast's body. These spirit beasts will die immediately!"
Lee Chao-young was speechless. She looked at Ye Tianze. She was also gambling. After all, Ye Tianze had a treasure that could contain spirit beasts. That meant that he also had the ability to tame spirit beasts.
Not only did Ye Tianze not hate Lee Chao-young's quick-wittedness, but he liked it more and more. The Mount Buzhou battlefield was originally a place of tigers and wolves.
Those who were weak and didn't know how to use their brains would only be at a disadvantage. If they didn't want to be at a disadvantage, they had to scheme against others. Lee Chao-young was clearly a very suitable candidate.
Ye Tianze looked at the tiger cubs, purple light flashing in his eyes. For these tiger cubs, the power of the Deterring Eye could directly take them as slaves.
It wouldn't even trigger the inheritance restriction in these tiger cubs. This was also the power of the Deterring Eye.
However, this time Ye Tianze kept their talent, leaving them room for growth. After all, he had to cultivate these Thunder Origin Tigers in the future.
If his Thunder Legion had such spirit beasts as mounts, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
A moment later, the eight Thunder Origin Tiger cubs had all become his slaves.
With a thought, these little cubs jumped to the ground and roared in unison like an army.
Although it looked funny, there was a bit of a tiger's posture.
"This …" The smile on the emissary's face instantly froze.
Everyone present watched this scene in shock. Although they didn't know what method Ye Tianze had used, it was clearly much more brilliant than the Beastmaster Sect's.
The Beastmaster Sect's methods were incomparably cruel. They first had to torture these tiger cubs until their wills collapsed before taming them.
However, Ye Tianze didn't seem to have done anything. He had taken all of these tiger cubs under his command.
The emissary had a helpless expression. "Isn't this a bit preposterous? Why don't you reconsider? Everything can be discussed."
If the White Tiger Legion didn't have authority over such a stronghold, it would be a huge loss for them.
As an emissary, he would be stationed here in the future. Without authority, he could only collect a tax of ten percent.
This was the lowest authority the White Tiger Legion had. As for other matters, it had nothing to do with the White Tiger Legion.
When Lee Chao-young heard this, she knew that an opportunity had come. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Tianze beat her to it. "No need. Big Mao and Fourth Mao have become founders. It will be easier for you to announce it. Everything else will be handled according to Lee Chao-young's instructions."
The emissary hadn't expected that Ye Tianze wouldn't negotiate with him at all. However, he couldn't show his warm face to Ye Tianze's cold ass. "Alright, without the help of the White Tiger Legion, I'll see how you will defend the stronghold against a second invasion."
After saying that, the emissary registered Big Mao and Fourth Mao. This new stronghold immediately appeared on the White Tiger Legion's map.
At the same time, a new stronghold appeared on the White Tiger City's public map. The owner of this stronghold was rather strange. The five million contribution points entered Ye Tianze's military tablet.
