Chapter 1207 - 633: Jiang Yi, Medina, and Zong Shen

As Jiang Yi stepped out of the Lord’s Small Tower, Medina followed closely behind.

Moments ago, they discussed the comprehensive merger of the Light Chaser Legion and the Guides Corps, where Medina voluntarily relinquished the main body of the Light Chaser Legion; after the merger, the Guides would become the principal entity.

The only difficulty at present is that the Guides Corps is yet to be upgraded.

Actually, Zong Shen could have facilitated the Legion’s upgrade long ago, but he deliberately held off.

The rapid expansion of a Legion is not necessarily beneficial.

Especially now, as his power rapidly increases, thereby significantly boosting the Legion’s influence.

Other Lords are not on the same level of progress as his development.

This applies to the development issues of the Legion as well.

Within the region, other Lords haven’t grown to the appropriate level yet, and blindly recruiting new members could...

Lack of essential trials and training among the Lords may affect the quality of the Legion’s development.

Zong Shen has his own set of standards for the Guides Corps’ next steps in expansion.

In the process of increasing the Legion’s numbers from 100 to 1,000+, he plans to set certain recruitment thresholds.

If a Legion is ultimately to incorporate all surviving Lords in the region,

then these 100 to 1,000 Legion members will be the foundation.

This can be understood as the base of a towering skyscraper.

The stronger these Legion members are collectively, the higher the cohesion will be.

Additionally, a complete Legion power structure can be established during this period.

No matter how the Legion members increase subsequently, as long as the foundation is solid, the skyscraper will not collapse.

Zong Shen has always approached issues from a long-term perspective.

But now, it is about time to upgrade the Legion.

At least Medina’s Light Chaser Legion’s comprehensive strength is still quite commendable.

The most important thing is that Zong Shen needs to set an example when necessary.

After all, Medina can be considered one of the Lords who have actively shown goodwill towards him.

These are all considerations Zong Shen had in mind beforehand.

"Lord Zong!"

Seeing the giant Black Dragon arriving, Jiang Yi knew Zong Shen had come.

Medina, however, displayed much more apprehension.

Even though his temperament is far more tenacious than that of the average Lord, he was still deeply shaken at his first direct encounter with the Black Dragon; fortunately, Xiaoheizi did not enter the courtyard.

Zong Shen had it lie outside, while he himself passed through the gate and entered the Lord’s Courtyard.

Accustomed to the fortified High-tier Lord’s Courtyard, viewing Jiang Yi’s "old antique" courtyard again suddenly evoked a sense of weak defense for Zong Shen.

His own Lord’s Fortress felt most reliable!

Seeing Jiang Yi approach, Medina paused slightly but quickly caught up.

Their expressions were somewhat reserved as they faced Zong Shen.

Jiang Yi was more familiar with Zong Shen.

She bowed respectfully to Zong Shen, and for modern individuals, this has already become a rather high-standard etiquette.

Medina, out of habit, originally extended his right hand, but upon seeing Jiang Yi’s action, he promptly restrained his outstretched palm and slightly bowed.

He had not interacted much with Indigenous People, at most visiting nearby villages occasionally.

Though he had inquired about the location of nearby Bang City,

the journey spanning hundreds of kilometers discouraged him from venturing there for the time being.

Thus, he had not yet contacted the Indigenous Nobles.

And the etiquette of recruiting Warriors and farmers differs from addresses to Lords.

After all, identities stand prominent.

Medina’s strength and development speed are also not slow.

He can be considered one of the prominent Lords within the region.

Except for Zong Shen, no other Lord in the area could prompt him to bow with sincere apprehension.

Describing Medina’s mindset with the term "sincere apprehension" is not an exaggeration at all.

The Endless Continent is a place where strength reigns supreme.

The Earthly pride doesn’t hold sway here.

Strength breeds dignity and pride.

On this front, Medina was quite clear.

With enough power, not only would even Lords call you ’master’, but Indigenous People would, too!

Now, the ’master’ is none other than Zong Shen!

To their greetings and salutations, Zong Shen first nodded to Jiang Yi.

Then he shifted his gaze to Medina, extending his hand with a smile.

"Long time no see, Medina."

Faced with Zong Shen’s outstretched hand, Medina hurriedly raised his right hand to grasp it.

Zong Shen could proactively extend a handshake to him, but it wouldn’t be fitting if he did it first.

Such is the power of strength.

With strength, I call the shots.

Without strength, you call the shots.

After shaking hands with Medina, Zong Shen loosened his grip.

"Lord Zong, please come in first."

"Food and drinks are prepared in the hall."

Jiang Yi remarked at this point.

As the host, she needed to fulfill her duties.

"Good, let’s discuss further inside."

"By the way, Jiang Yi, tell your subjects not to get too close to Xiaoheizi."

"That fellow is a bit mischievous, not very obedient."

Zong Shen said with a grin.

"Little... Xiaoheizi...?"

Jiang Yi was stunned, feeling somewhat speechless inwardly.

She maintained a sense of awe towards the Giant Dragon, with the massacre beyond the Poisonous Mist Swamp vivid in memory,

She didn’t expect such a terrifying beast to be named Xiaoheizi by Zong Shen?

"This must be the wicked humor of a big-shot, right?"

With such thoughts, Jiang Yi turned around to guide Zong Shen and Medina.

The three proceeded into the Lord’s Small Tower together.
