Armipotent

Chapter 509 – The First Tribe

Ashley wanted to cover her face from embarrassment, who said such a thing to persuade the tribe to join the empire? She could not believe that those words came out from the man.

Chief Lauri glanced at Aki and then he looked at the man who offered him a grand conquest. It was ridiculous to hear that from a single man. If the man came with a huge force, Lauri might believe that the man had the ambition to conquer the world. However, the man was alone, with two women and two beasts? Conquering the world, Lauri doubted whether the male human could conquer the forest or not.

"That's it? You come to offer me that?" Lauri looked toward Tang Shaoyang with a strange gaze but it changed into a resolute gaze quickly, "What if the Pallarmus Tribe refused the offer?"

"Then I shall bring destruction to your tribe. Your tribe will be sacrificial to summon my army!" Tang Shaoyang was not joking when he said that. His emotionless face told Lauri that the man was serious, but Chief Lauri was not convinced by that empty threat.

"Then we will defend our honor if you wish to fight!" Lauri pulled the crude trident on his back and raised it to the air. The Chief of the Pallarmus Tribe was speaking something in his own language. It was followed with cheers from the Pallarmus Tribe's people.

The cheers abruptly stopped until an aura spread out. Lauri looked at the man and the man was no longer the same human as before. The man had transformed as black scales covered him and two horns protruded upward from his head. The man had a wing that spanned up to ten meters and Lauri felt that a strong aura from the man. The aura was commanding him to kneel and his instinct was screaming at him, telling him to kneel.

Lauri never felt like this before, it was strange yet it felt natural at the same time. Yes, it was as if this was what he was supposed to feel. As the Chief of the Black Impaler, he was the most intelligent creature in the tribe. The Chief tried to rationalize the thought and he heard something thumped against the ground.

Lauri looked back and was shocked to see his kinds were kneeling, even his kinds who had not transformed into beastmen also knelt. Everyone was kneeling toward the man who had transformed. Seeing his kind were kneeling toward the man, Lauri's last defense crumbled and knelt toward Tang Shaoyang, "We are willing to follow you, Emperor Tang!"

At the same time, Ashley was shocked by the transformation that happened before her eyes. This was not the first time she saw someone transformed, she had seen the Left Guardian transformed into a lion as well. However, the one in front of her was the legendary Dragon.

'Not only does he have a second class but he also has a bloodline?' This was a big blow to her and also to her knowledge about the system. The man was not Epic, she had cast the [Basic Detection] on him when they fought on Earth. It was a mystery how the man could get the second class, now he showed his bloodline as well. It was not just a random bloodline, but a dragon on top of that.

As for Selena, she was not surprised as Ashley. This was not her first time seeing him like this. She had seen him once in his Dragon Transformation in Arkania. She was still marveled at the sight of the transformation. 

Tang Shaoyang was slightly surprised that this was working. He remembered that the beast he contracted, Malki the Fire Ant Emperor, Aerelion the Dark Wyvern, and Feera the Chimere were willing to be contracted because of his Dragon's Aura. He thought this method might work on living beasts as well and he tried it and it worked.

He doubted the method did not work as Aki managed to resist the Dragon's aura, but then he realized it might be because of his class, the Mind Control. The rat beastmen had a strong mind that was hard to be affected even with the Dragon's aura.

"We have conquered the first tribe, now I will leave the rest to you, Selena. Can you hold a wide range ceremony for the oath? We have hundreds of Black Impaler waiting for their oath," Tang Shaoyang turned toward Selena as he took out a vial of a mana potion. He chugged it down in one gulp. He had to drink the mana potion regularly since he had to maintain the Spirit Manifestation.

Selena nodded and walked into between Tang Shaoyang and the Pallarmus Tribe. She held her hands together and put her hand on her chest, where she started the chanting. Even though the system helped them to understand each other, there was a certain language that the system did not translate for them. Selena's chanting was one of them and there might be more language that the system did not translate.

Bwoosh!

A wind blowing from Selena's feet as a magical circle formed and enlarged, the bright magic circle caused Nol and the cat to shut their eyes. The magic circle reached all the members of the Pallarmus Tribe.

"Chief Lauri of the Pallarmus Tribe, you follow my words one by one…" Selena then started the oath. The oath for the Pallarmus Tribe and its members, since it was a whole tribe, Chief Lauri alone was enough to represent the tribe. The oath was saying that the Pallarmus Tribe could not betray or even had the thought of betraying The Tang Empire. If they broke the contract, death was their fate.

The same for Tang Shaoyang, he also said his oath. In his oath, he mentioned that he would bring the Pallarmus Tribe into glory and protect the Pallarmus Tribe from harm and danger. Yes, it was not a one-sided oath like a slave, but an equal oath. After the oath ceremony was done, the magic circle vanished with some of them being absorbed by the members of the Pallarmus Tribe.

Just like that, Tang Shaoyang easily conquered the first tribe in the Gigante Forest.
