Chapter 955: Chapter 943: Grand Unification, the Weakest Legend Minions Chapter 955: Chapter 943: Grand Unification, the Weakest Legend Minions As the Dove Faction of Earth Star civilization grew stronger, in the world of Pandora, Muria began preparing for what he had long planned to do—overthrow the backward tribal system of the Yi Kong People and establish a unified centralized power system.

As for the foundation of his unified government, it naturally stemmed from the threat of exotic people that he was now actively propagating. He told the Yikong People of the Ayaray Forest that the exotic people coveted the resources of their world and would definitely return, and that war would once again erupt.

If the Yikong People did not wish to suffer heavy losses like those around the previous Forward Base, then they must unite. Only by uniting could they reduce casualties and secure victory in war.

Because Muria had the instructive example of the Yi Kong tribes that surrounded the Forward Base of Earth Star civilization, his endeavor to amalgamate all the tribes and establish a centralized power regime proceeded very smoothly.

Of course, the reason why the Yikong People complied with such significant changes in their system without causing too much trouble was largely due to the supremely transcendent entity within the world of Pandora—the Divine Tree!

It was because this matter had the Divine Tree’s endorsement that Muria’s efforts were extraordinarily smooth, with almost no opposition. Thus, before Muria sent Doctor Allen back to her world, he had broadly completed the unification of the tribes of the Ayaray Forest.

After dispatching Doctor Allen, he immediately summoned the nine legion commanders under his command. Although the title of legion commander sounded impressive, in actuality, each one commanded only about two thousand adult Yi Kong people. In other words, Muria’s army numbered merely eighteen thousand people.

But compared to the total population of just over one hundred and fifty thousand Yi Kong People, less than one hundred and sixty thousand, an army of eighteen thousand was somewhat excessive. This ratio of military to civilian population could only occur in such a primitive and wild world.

“The exotic people will once again send armies to invade our world!” Muria spoke seriously to the nine legion commanders he had chosen, “And this time, the number of legions they deploy will not be as small as last time.”

“Great King Uhl, do the exotic people really possess such terrifying strength? Last time, they dispatched so many battleships, and this time, they can actually send even more?”

“How long do you think it takes them to produce a battleship?” Muria laughed, “You’ve seen the crude assembly line recently set up at Yunjian Peak that manufactures these metal armor weapons you’re wearing, right?

In the world of the exotic people, there are thousands upon thousands of such lines. They can produce a battleship a day. Do you believe that after I destroyed so many of their battleships last time, they have already reproduced what I destroyed?”

“The exotic people are too terrifying!” Hearing Muria’s description, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of these legion commanders. They could not imagine that exotic people could produce battleships at the rate of one a day.

“What’s there to panic about, I’m here, aren’t I? Even if they produce battleships that cover the sky, what of it?” Muria scolded those frightened legion commanders, “I can shoot them all down.”

“That’s right, with King Uhl around, no matter how many battleships the exotic people have, they won’t be able to harm us!”

“Indeed, I possess the power to protect you all, but you must also have the power to protect yourselves. After all, I cannot possibly protect every Yi Kong person all the time!”

“Your Majesty King Uhl, please rest assured; we are pushing the soldiers hard every day in their training!”

“I know that!” Muria nodded. This was the part that reassured him the most. The arrival of the Earth Star Humans had indeed disrupted the peace and tranquility of this world, but it also brought a sense of crisis to the Yikong People, who finally understood the importance of diligent training.

“But merely prompting the soldiers to train is not enough; I need to expand my army the number of soldiers in my army is far too few!” This was also Muria’s biggest discontent; the number of soldiers he could use was too scant.

Eighteen thousand people, this number was practically a joke to him. In the Empire he had established in the world of Elasia, any noble assigned to oversee an overseas territory had more than this number of soldiers under his command.

“Your Majesty King Uhl, if you wish to expand the army, many of our tribespeople are willing to join!” A legion commander raised his head and looked at Muria with shining eyes, “If only you would consider lowering the criteria slightly…”
“No. The standards for joining my army will never be lowered, only raised! I do not want Yi Kong People who do not meet the criteria. They only need to live quietly and comfortably in their wooden houses and produce armor, weapons, and crossbow arrows for the soldiers!”

Upon hearing this legion commander’s suggestion, Muria immediately and unequivocally rejected it. Having already separated the military from civilians, how could he regress.

“King Uhl, since you’re unwilling to lower the army recruitment standards, then how do we increase the number of soldiers in the army?” A legion commander asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Of course, it’s to increase the population base of the Yi Kong People under my command! The more Yi Kong People I have, the more I can select from them to find the elite Yi Kong People that meet the standards.”

Muria rose from his ancient obsidian Throne and then raised a hand to point outside the great hall, “Just lift your heads a little and cast your gaze beyond the Aryale Forest!

Beyond the Aryale Forest, there are many other Yi Kong Tribes who are still unaware of the threat of the Exotic People. Go and tell them about this threat that could take their lives at any moment, and then bring them back!”

Thus began the expansion of the small centralized power that Muria had established, as he sent out almost all of the Legions under his command, even dispatching the majority of the Phantom Knight Regiment along with the army.

Similarly, because he anchored the seat of power, Muria also kicked out the increasingly powerful and growing Mesha with one swift movement. Naturally, its target was not to follow the army and conquer the Yi Kong Tribes.

The task given to the Meow King was to subdue the powerful creatures born in this world, equally an important force that Muria wouldn’t ignore.

As for Muria’s own task, well, as a King, he naturally had to stay central and couldn’t run around everywhere. Plus, he had other important tasks to attend to.

Since the army, Mesha, and the Phantoms had all been dispatched, Yunjian Peak seemed quieter than usual at this time. And it was then that Muria came to the Divine Tree growing at Yunjian Peak.

“I mean, your consciousness has already materialized, so can’t you be a little less rigid when you act?”

Muria stood under this Divine Tree enveloped in a hazy white glow, looking up at it and couldn’t help but complain. The tree had grown into a towering nearly twenty Meters tall due to the rapid increase in the population of the Yi Kong People living on Yunjian Peak.

In response to Muria’s complaint and jest, the Divine Tree’s willow-like branches swayed of their own accord before settling down again.

Hmph? You came to me because of this trivial matter? I got it, now scram and don’t disturb my sleep!

That was the message Muria interpreted from the Divine Tree, though he didn’t directly communicate with it in consciousness, he felt that its meaning was pretty much the same as what he just said.

“Dear Tree, you have sealed my true form, preventing my true self from coming out, and I accept that because your world is so small, it indeed cannot accommodate the activities of my true self! But I am merely trying to open my Semi Plane to let out one of my weakest Minions, and you won’t even allow that. Aren’t you being a bit too unreasonable?

You should know that his emergence benefits me, but also strengthens your resistance against external attacks. Moreover, his strength is very weak and poses no threat to your ecological environment. Even if he becomes uncontrollable and goes rogue, he won’t be able to cause you much harm!”

Muria was trying desperately to persuade the Divine Tree. Yes, he wanted to release one of his Legendary beings from his Semi Plane because his true form posed too great a threat to this world, and thus the Will of Pandora World firmly refused to consent.

Therefore, Muria had to settle for second best. He wanted to release the weakest Legendary being from his Semi Plane. As for other Battle Beasts of Gold Rank and Soul Intent Level, Muria couldn’t be bothered to release them, as unleashing such levels of Battle Beasts wouldn’t help him much unless in massive numbers.

Listening to Muria’s plea, the branches of the Divine Tree in front of him swayed gently as if pondering, and a dreamlike mist of white light rained down like drops of water.

After a moment, a breeze blew, and a pure white branch descended, wrapping around Muria’s palm as if by coincidence. Then, an inexplicable fluctuation spread out.

“I knew it!” As this fluctuation spread, a Radiant smile instantly appeared on Muria’s face, and behind him, a mirage-like illusion emerged.

But this illusion did not fade away over time; instead, it solidified gradually. Then, from within the illusion, emerged a half-human, half-serpent entity, exuding a powerful aura that oppressed all spirits around it.

“Come forth, my weakest Legendary Minion, the Slaughter Shadow, Shifanlin!” Muria called out.

Honestly, this alchemically synthesized beast, which had spent hundreds of years yet remained at the Legendary Third Rank in strength, was brought by Muria with the thought of recycling waste. However, unexpectedly, it now proved to be enormously useful. It was the weakest among all the Legendary Level Minions he brought in his Semi Plane, and for that reason, it could appear in this world.
