Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 2827 - Difference in Means

Shuntian Bohai’s decision directly ended the battle of Shuntian City. He came before Yi Daiyan. If it was just a ruse, it would be pure suicide. His action had changed the fate of the Central Shuntian Clan.

Among the thirteen regal clans, the Central Shuntian Clan had always been strong. They were famous for their albusbeasts and weren’t much inferior to the Greenhill Yushan Clan. And now, just like the sanctlighters, after losing over a hundred million people in war, they chose to do damage control and submit to Yi Daiyan.

Shuntian Bohai was a very straightforward person. Since he had chosen Yi Daiyan, he instantly became a loyal minister, even more straightforward than the sanctlighters.

"Kneel, all of you!" After kneeling himself, Shuntian Bohai turned around, calling the remaining hundreds of millions of astral gods and gods of the Shuntian Clan out of their astralships.

They were all stunned for a moment.

"What’re you all waiting for? The ebons didn't support us at all and just hung us out to dry! Shenxi Xingtian isn’t worth supporting. The future of Ebonia and the Infinitum Mundus is in the hands of the First Rex Mundi. She’ll become the strongest rex mundi in the history of the Infinitum Mundus and usher in a new era!” When Shuntian Bohai shouted that, he had already forgotten what he had said earlier. Before, he had said that Yi Daiyan was an outsider to the Infinitum Mundus....

But a wise man submitted to the circumstances.

Under his loud shouting, although each member of the Shuntian Clan felt ashamed, they chose to surrender and submit.

"Losing our guardian formation core and ether-class astralships means our clan has basically been castrated. From now on, the life and death of the entire clan will be determined by Yi Daiyan."

"What’re you thinking? If we don't surrender, our entire clan will be wiped out. The ebons sent us to die, trading our lives for the destruction of the Greenhill Yushan Clan. Castrated, yes, but at least we're still alive. If we perform well, there's still a chance to rise. But if the clan is wiped out, can we justify our actions to the ancestors? Can we justify ourselves before our ancestral heritage?"

It wasn’t that they’d had to surrender, but that not surrendering meant death. Between two bad options, choose the slightly better one.

Even so, the people of the Shuntian Clan, who held themselves in high regard, still felt a great sense of despair. The feeling of falling into hell made them extremely uncomfortable. They could only watch as Yi Daiyan took control of the core of the Shuntian Guard Formation and Shuntian City could no longer defend against her alliance.

Of course, the guardian formation was still there and could still function.

Next, the ether-class astralships would be destroyed. That was the most painful part! Each ether-class ship was a treasure built by generation after generation of their ancestors. If they were all destroyed at once, the Shuntian Clan would lose almost all of its ability to fight at the upper echelons of the mundus.

Shuntian Bohai’s heart was bleeding. "Dammit, for other overlords, if we joined them, we’d at least get preferential treatment. But with Yi Daiyan, we won't even have a single astralship!" He did have complaints, but he knew that the Shuntian Clan, as the ones being subdued rather than actively joining, didn't have the qualifications to bargain. Neither did the sanctlighters!

"Shuntian Bohai." As Shuntian Bohai was about to order the destruction of the astralships, Yi Daiyan called out to him.

"Rex Mundi! Please give your orders!" Shuntian Bohai respectfully responded, his expression fawning. He was an old hand at flattery, and he had a premonition that something good was going to happen.

"The situation is special right now. The ebons and their henchmen are attacking Greenhill. The Infinitum Bodhimanda needs the help of your clan. I'll give you a chance. If your Central Shuntian Clan is willing to make amends this time, the Infinitum Bodhimanda can show mercy, leaving you with three ether-class astralships," Yi Daiyan said.

Shuntian Bohai was instantly overjoyed. It was truly a surprise! Not even the sanctlighters had received treatment like that! The ebons had sold out the Shuntian Clan and placed all their bets on Greenhill, giving the Shuntians a chance to make amends.

"Rex Mundi, I’ve received the Infinitum Bodhimanda’s orders. The Shuntian Clan will certainly make amends. Even if we die, we won't complain!" he hastily replied.

Three ether-class astralships were already quite good. After all, Yi Daiyan didn't specify which three, so the Shuntian Clan could retain its three strongest astralships: the Albus, the Skybreaker, and the Skystrider. Their powers surpassed ninety-five percent of other ether-class astralships.

"If you can annihilate the ebons' expeditionary corps, I can show mercy and leave you with five," Yi Daiyan calmly said.

"Yes! We’ll definitely throw ourselves into the fray, sacrificing ourselves without hesitation!" Shuntian Bohai's blood was boiling. He knew that Yi Daiyan was very clever. Once he participated in the battle to 'annihilate' the ebons, it would definitely leave no room for negotiation between them. Even if Yi Daiyan left the Shuntian Clan with five astralships, the Shuntian Clan would have no chance to join the ebons again in the next ten thousand years. They would have a blood feud!

From that, it could be seen that she really needed to defend Greenhill to lay the foundation for the first wave of victory.

"At present, the beast wave is gathering at Greenhill. Shuntian City isn’t in great danger. I'll leave your guardian formation open. You only need to leave a third of your troops to defend the city. If Shuntian City is in trouble, I'll take responsibility," Yi Daiyan said.

"Yes!"

One sentence, "I'll take responsibility", had highlighted the biggest difference between Yi Daiyan and Shenxi Xingtian. That was that she had the means to make that promise! Shuntian Bohai deeply felt it. To be honest, he had been won over by Yi Daiyan. The woman, in terms of both combat power and methods, was perfect.

What was most valuable was her means, which far surpassed ordinary people! He had to reconsider Shenxi Xingtian.

At that moment, Shuntian Bohai felt like putting aside the interests of his clan and had a sudden impulse to follow a supreme ruler.

Two-thirds of the Shuntian Clan, with more than three hundred thousand astral gods and six hundred thousand astralships, travelled to Greenhill at the fastest speed under Yi Daiyan's arrangements.

Their current participation in the war was something they had never thought it would be from beginning to end.

"It isn’t just for the five astralships. In this battle, if we perform well, we can completely integrate into the faction of the First Rex Mundi and become one of them! The sanctlighters didn’t even have this opportunity!" Shuntian Bohai loudly shouted.

"Yes!" Many Shuntian Clan members also understood. They had originally been standing on the wrong side, but there was still a chance to pay homage to a new master and transform into a righteous army. Missing such a good opportunity would be foolish.

Their Shuntian Guard Formation was now in Yi Daiyan's hands, so it was too late to betray her and change sides again.

"Grand Elder, what should we say if Shenxi Xingtian comes looking for us again?" someone asked.

"Tell him go fuck himself!" Shuntian Bohai rolled his eyes.

The problem now was timing. The Shuntian Clan army was a surprise army.

"Ether- and sanctuary-class astralships, move ahead. Other astralships strive to keep up." The Albus was extremely fast and took the lead.

At that moment, a huge shadow unexpectedly passed over their heads.

"What is that?"

"The Infinitum Stele...." It was even faster than the Albus, which was known for its speed.

"Damn! This time, if Shenxi Xingtian doesn’t cry. I'll do a handstand and shit in that position!" Shuntian Bohai laughed.
