The Legendary Mage (Alavin)

Chapter 394

"Can you control these stone statues?" Banneth asked again "It's not a matter of control: they are here to protect me."

"How powerful were these statues of kings ten thousand years ago?" asked the head of the Iron family. Although he had not personally witnessed the strength of the statues, judging by their performance in pursuing the Stellar Precepts Commander and slaying the Skyborne Rivers Commander, their power must've surpassed anyone present. Moreover, they felt no pain, had no emotions, and were true weapons of war. With their protection, Stormcast would become the most formidable stronghold in the Northlands, as well as the safest.

Alavin shook his head, unclear of the precise strength. When he received the legacy, his consciousness had fused with that of the Kings, and he had relived their lives in a hazy trance. But upon awakening. the memories were not clear, just vague impressions

Everyone had a multitude of questions they wanted to ask, but upon careful thought, they weren't sure what exactly to inquire about. What comforted them was that Alavin's current demeanor was humble and respectful, unlike his earlier cold-blooded and icy gaze. This suggested he was not truly bloodthirsty and cruel, but rather, he believed in clear-cut enmities and had the courage to face his enemies head-on

After all, he and his kin had been oppressed for years and had almost been slaughtered; it was reasonable for them to vent their frustrations.

"The Northlands will be lively for a time," the Starlit Echoes Commander mused with relief. He felt fortunate to have aided the Cobalt Strike Commander, to have chosen to stand with Stormcast, and to have persisted until the end. Otherwise, the dead commanders today would not be just two, but possibly three, and he could have been among them!

Jarad asked Alavin, "What are your plans? Will you lead your statues of kings to assault the three great royal houses?” Alavin shook his head. “I've obtained what I wanted. There's no need for total annihilation.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The necessary proclamations had been made, and the intended deterrence was achieved. From now on, nobody should dare to bully the Mallister family or commit evil in Stormcast. That was sufficient, and Alavin was not so cruel as to destroy all the royal houses and Organizations, which would likely backfire. Moreover, the Kings had made it clear that their purpose was to guard the new kingdom and deter powerful foes, and unless someone invaded again. they would not awaken.

This meant that the Kings would not follow Alavin on a reckless rampage across the lands!

Jarad and the others nodded slowly, relieved that Alavin was not insatiable forrevenge and wouldn't continue to’Suppress the royal oo» houses and the Stellar Precepts. tf all the oyals were killed and the Stellaf Precepts eradicated, the Jictands royalty would undoubtedly fervene in the Northlands, sending even more powerful figures to oversee the realm, a loss far outweighing the gain.

Suddenly, Alavin said, "Heads of the Iron family and the Mollen family, I have a somewhat presumptuous request.” "Speak," they said

"Because of my affairs, you have offended Lord Falconcrest and the Stellar Precepts, including Amber Valley. Who knows how they might seek revenge in the future? I was wondering... Perhaps we could find a time to relocate your families to Stormcast? In the future, we could look out for each other. I'll designate an area within the inner city for you, ensuring no one will disturb you."

The head of the Mollen family smiled. He had been considering ways to propose this very idea, and Alavin had taken the initiative, a sign that the young man was grateful.

The head of the Iron family was silent for a while. The Iron farnily had maintained its.exalted position in the orthlands f8r years due to robust strength, Qold strategies,anda = ™ policy ofeutrality, withno one daring36 cause trouble at their.door, However, due to various reasons, they had been forcibly drawn into thé chaos of the Northlands, and their family might indeed be in danger. Moreover, their clansmen were accustomed to traveling far from home, leaving the young, elderly, and women at home, which was a worrying prospect.

After some thought, both accepted the invitation

Alavin smiled knowingly; with two prominent families settling in Stormcast, its prestige would grow even greater After all, the Mollen and Iron families were organizations on par with the Eight Orders and Five Lords. Their move to o Stormeast, whether openly or covertly, signaled ana liance; serving as a deterrent to att realms. Furthermore, the arrival of the Mollen family signified the entry of The Thousand Treasures Commerce. This super consortium would surely improve Stormcast’s environment, allowing its citizens to live better lives sooner.

Banneth chuckled, "Learning to forge alliances, are we? You aim to make Stormcast the preeminent fortress city of the Northlands."
