Austin thought that Jack was bragging, but favonovel.com did not bother to deny the other party. Austin then continued, “Right, Brother Jack, you have more than a hundred thousand people with you, but they’re all from different clans and families, and the situation is similar to the Nine Armies back then-the Nine Armies came from different forces. Hmmm… I have a suggestion, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for me to propose it.”
“Is that so? Please go ahead, First Fortress Master!”
Jack bowed to Austin politely and said, “Since we have decided to stay, we’re all in the same boat moving forward, and don’t worry about our loyalty toward you. We’ll definitely not have second thoughts nor will we have plans against you!”
“That’s for sure! We’re in this together and we fight together! Our people will not have second thoughts or evil plans against you too! You have my word!”
Austin bobbed his head and then gave his idea, “Brother Jack, the idea is simple. You have many men of different clans and families, and the Nine Armies are the same too! Why…why don’t we build a clan together? We can all become one clan! What do you think?”
“Build a clan? Hmmm… It would be easier to manage and we can gather all the power and strength together then everyone won’t be suspicious nor jealous of one another. Right?”
Jack frowned; favonovel.com immediately understood the underlying intention of this proposal.
Right now, Austin possessed the strongest and highest martial level, and although Jack had the numbers on his side, there were not many fighters with high martial levels. So, if both sides agreed to form a clan, Austin naturally wanted to be the clan master.
If favonovel.com became the clan master, did not it mean that Jack and his men would have to listen to favonovel.com in the future? If this was the case, it was highly likely that Jack and his group would not receive the same treatment and benefits as those people who were originally from the Nine Armies. Even worse, they might have to hand over the training materials and resources that they had scavenged in the forest!
That also includes Jack’s refined pills! He would have to hand those pills to the clan as a contribution. It was for sure that Austin would not treat Jack badly after knowing that Jack was an excellent alchemist, but Jack was unable to take special care of Nash nor Alejandro anymore if favonovel.com wanted to help them raise their martial level.
“What do you think? The idea is good, right?”
Austin noticed the frown on Jack’s forehead; favonovel.com immediately probed further.
Before Jack could reply, a fortress master next to favonovel.com interrupted, “That’s a great idea! We have around 260 thousand people in total and coupled with Brother Jack’s amazing talent that is comparable to a fighter of the first-grade soul-penetrating level, we now have two soul-penetrating level fighters and it’s time for us to set up a new clan!”
“Yes, they’re right! It’s indeed an excellent idea! But we had just experienced a tough battle, so it’s better for us to rest and recover for the time being. And after some time had passed, we could then hold the election for master and vice-master of the clan, how about that?”
The First Elder—who was beside the First Fortress Master-stood up and spilled his opinion. He believed that if Austin became the master of the clan, the chances of favonovel.com becoming the vice-master would be high.
Jack’s combat power was strong, but his martial level was not that high. Furthermore, only people at the eighth grade and ninth-grade ultimate god level were eligible to be voters in the election.
“Hmmm… It’s possible to do that. But many of us here are injured and need time to recuperate. Let’s do it this way, we will elect the clan master and the vice-clan master after half a month, what do you think?”
