Lu Ran broke out in cold sweat when he saw the heads rolling on the ground.
"Why did you have to offend General Long Yan over such a small matter?"
Lu Ran smiled bitterly. "Do you know that he's the only half-step Martial Emperor in the White Tiger Legion? If Lord White Tiger doesn't make a move, he's the strongest person in the legion!"
Hearing this, Ye Tianze was somewhat annoyed. He said, "They followed me through fire and water, risking their lives to earn military merits, but they were taken away by a bunch of scum who didn't make a move. In the end, they even wanted to destroy us. In the eyes of the Inner Secretary, is this a small matter?"
Lu Ran was speechless.
"If this is a small matter, then tell me, what is a big matter?"
Ye Tianze asked. "If you want military merits, you have to fight for it with your life. I don't care what others do, but if anyone dares to take military merits from me, or steal my brother's military merits, I'll send them to hell!"
Father Ming and the others' eyes reddened.
Although they felt that Ye Tianze was rude to offend the Great General, Ye Tianze hit their soft spot.
Although the White Tiger Legion had strict military rules, there were many people who stole military merits. Under normal circumstances, they would be satisfied as long as they could get some leftovers and contribution points.
No one would really care about the spoils and military merits that were taken away, let alone complain to the Great General.
Those who had never been on the battlefield would not know the pain of having their merits stolen. However, this time, someone spoke up for them and helped them get justice.
Lu Ran didn't refute. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Then, can we talk about cooperation?"
Ye Tianze immediately left the city and returned to the meeting hall.
Lu Ran originally thought that after saving Ye Tianze and the others, it would be easy for him to get control of the stronghold.
After this incident, Ye Tianze should understand that he could not defend the stronghold with his own strength.
But Lu Ran did not expect that things would not go as he expected. Ye Tianze, with three hundred Tiger Guards and two hundred geniuses, would be able to defend this stone city stronghold.
Not only that, they had wiped out four thousand elite non-humankind warriors.
Lu Ran looked at Ye Tianze and smiled bitterly. "You can't be thinking of taking the entire stronghold for yourself, right?"
"Of course not." Ye Tianze said, "From now on, everyone who survives this battle is the master of the stronghold."
Lu Ran was speechless and said, "Can we not waste so much effort? Even if you turn all of them into the founders of the stronghold, won't Stone City still need a City Lord? "
"What conditions have you brought?"
Ye Tianze did not beat around the bush. "If you still want the same conditions as before, then you can leave now!"
"I say, you … Sigh, fine fine fine, I'll tell you the truth. In the future, the army will take 40% of the profits and authority of Stone City." Lu Ran said, "The army will still provide half of the resources to upgrade the formations and defenses of Stone City in the future. How about that?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
Ye Tianze smiled. "The resources provided by the army can only support Stone City to upgrade from a basic stronghold to an Alliance level stronghold. You can take 40% of the profits and authority, and you can earn it back in the future. After all, there's a limit to the amount of resources needed to upgrade to an Alliance level stronghold. However, as long as this stronghold exists, you can take 40% of the profits every day!"
"Tell me, with Stone City's potential, how many years will it take to earn it back?" Ye Tianze asked. "One year? Two years? You can earn back all the resources by then! "
"The army needs to support five hundred thousand troops to fight against the non-humankind. Without the army, do you think you can stand here?"
Lu Ran said, "Without the skin, what can the hair attach to? You young people always don't understand some things. "
"You're right. I understand the army's difficulties," Ye Tianze said. "But, doesn't the army collect taxes from the various strongholds?"
After pausing for a while, Ye Tianze said, "Even if we don't cooperate with the army, the army will still take 10% of the future profits. Isn't that the protection fee for the army?"
"Aren't you acting shamelessly?"
Lu Ran said, "Besides, if you don't cooperate with the army, do you want to cooperate with the Great Five Alliance? I'm afraid they can't wait to tear you into pieces. Let me tell you, Ye Tianze, after losing the stronghold, you're the sinner of the human race! "
"Don't try that with me."
Ye Tianze said exasperatedly, "Without me, you can forget about opening up this stronghold. Without this stronghold, the White Tiger Army will be stuck at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. Since you've been stuck at the same spot for so long, why do you think I'm the sinner after losing this stronghold?"
"Also, even if I don't cooperate with the Great Five Alliance and the army, there will naturally be others who are willing to cooperate with me!" Ye Tianze said, "Furthermore, after this battle, they will offer a higher price."
Lu Ran suddenly thought of a faction and said, "You're talking about the Jubao Hall!"
"My Southern Border's Tian Nan City has always cooperated with the Jubao Hall. The second young master of the Jubao Hall is my brother."
Ye Tianze said, "With the wealth of the Jubao Hall, it shouldn't be a problem for me to support this stronghold, right?"
"This …" Lu Ran didn't know what to say.
The White Tiger Army was indeed very strong, and could even be said to be the strongest army of the human race. However, in terms of wealth, it couldn't even compare to a ten-thousandth of the White Tiger Army.
After all, half of the White Tiger Army's supplies were maintained by the Jubao Hall.
"What do you want in order to cooperate with the army?" Lu Ran asked.
At this moment, he knew that he was already a piece of meat on the chopping board.
"I'll give the army 20% of the profits of the stronghold."
Ye Tianze said, "The army will provide the resources needed to upgrade the stronghold's formations and fortifications in the future. Furthermore, the army will prioritize upgrading the stronghold. Other than that … the army must send 5,000 Tiger Guards to defend the stronghold. All of the Tiger Guards will be under my command!"
"You, you, you … you're asking for too much!" Lu Ran said, "20% of the profits and you want the White Tiger Army to give you so much resources? You're dreaming."
"Then I can only give 10% of the army's profits to the Jubao Hall and give them 30%."
Ye Tianze said, "I believe that the Jubao Hall will consider my request. As for experts, we don't have enough money to recruit experts at this time. If we can't recruit them, then it must be because we don't have enough money!"
Lu Ran was silent for a moment before he said, "30%. You have to give 30% of the profits!"
"Deal."
Ye Tianze said, "Send 5,000 Tiger Guards to me immediately and secretly. Other than that, immediately send formation masters and blacksmiths to upgrade the defenses."
"You're an Asura, a blood-sucking Asura!" Lu Ran said.
"I'm an Asura, but I'm a blood-sucking Asura. After sucking blood, I'll use it for proper business. At least from now on, Stone City will be the frontline of the human race in Buzhou Mountain. It will help the army withstand most of the pressure. As long as Stone City is still there, the other races can forget about taking a single step into the human race's territory!"
Ye Tianze said.
Lu Ran was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll discuss with Lord White Tiger about what you want. But I hope you remember today's promise!"
Lu Ran left with Long Yan, but Long Yan didn't take all of the reinforcements with him. He left half of them to guard Stone City.
"General, you won't stoop to that kid's level, right?" Lu Ran asked.
"Do you expect me to forgive him?" Long Yan asked.
"Haha, although this kid is narrow-minded, he's a talent." Lu Ran said, "If we train him well, he'll be able to hold his own in the future."
"You're saying that I'm narrow-minded? Don't think I can't tell. "
Long Yan said with a cold face, "He's a talent, but if he's too hard, he'll break easily. Don't you understand?"
"Then in the future, we'll have to rely on you. This stronghold will become the foundation of the human race's mountain climbing." Lu Ran said with a smile.
"It's my duty to take care of the stronghold. As for this little bastard?" Long Yan said, "It's his good fortune that I didn't make things difficult for him."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Ran nodded, "But do you know what he told me?"
"If you want to say it, just say it. Don't keep me in suspense." Long Yan said with annoyance.
Lu Ran immediately repeated Ye Tianze's last words. Long Yan was silent after hearing it.
After a while, Long Yan asked, "Did he really say that?"
"Yes." Lu Ran nodded.
Long Yan didn't say anything. But at this moment, the shuttle arrived at the stronghold of the Great Five Alliance and he suddenly landed.
Lu Ran quickly asked, "General, where are you going?"
"They dared to ignore the army's order and attack a stronghold that's in a protection period. We can't just let them go, right?" Long Yan said without turning his head.
At the same time, in the stronghold of the Great Five Alliance and the Eastern Alliance.
The fifty thousand people of the alliance hadn't returned, but the scouts had. They reported the situation of Stone City's stronghold.
"How dare Long Yan kill our people!" The leader of the Southern Alliance said.
"Damn Long Yan, how dare he ruin our good business. What are those guys doing? Why do we need those spoils of war? Why let them go back to the city? Can't we just kill them directly? Now it's all in vain! "The leader of the Western Alliance said.
"Do you only care about whether the stronghold is taken or not? Don't you care about how this kid destroyed the alien army?"
The leader of the Northern Alliance said, "There are only three hundred Tiger Guards in the stronghold. Including the young geniuses of the new generation, there are only five or six hundred people who can fight. However, there are four thousand aliens, all of them elites. When our people arrived, most of the aliens had already been destroyed. Isn't that the main point?"
"Don't have the ambition of a little bastard and destroy our own prestige. If it wasn't for Long Yan, we would have taken the stronghold!"
The leader of the Eastern Alliance said.
"Yes, that stronghold was originally developed by several people of the Western Alliance. He was just one of the helpers, but in the end, he destroyed our people. Such a cunning, vicious, and untrustworthy person, it's only natural that we take back the stronghold. Damn Long Yan, he actually …"
The leader of the Western Alliance said.
However, before he could finish, a voice interrupted him, "Everyone is in a good mood. I don't know if this Long Yan's visit has disturbed everyone's good mood."
Long Yan slowly walked in. The expressions of the five leaders and the powerhouses changed greatly.
