A rare magical miracle in the world

"But the others..."

Not to mention the slaves who were purchased, let's talk about the imminent arrival of eighty thousand people, as well as the vassals traded from Immortal Hawk Duke Micia,

"Loyalty is the most fundamental thing to receive Miracle Power."

However, loyalty does not mean blind allegiance, nor does it mean that they will do whatever Bailuo says.

For instance, if Bailuo ordered Yilona to kill Ju Nono, would he do it?

Yilona would rather suffer the backlash of Miracle Power than do such a thing.

Similarly, on the battlefield, faced with the threat of death, would the Child of Miracle turn into a deserter?

In life-or-death situations, would they flee out of fear?

The answer is, yes!

In the Ancient City battle, indeed, a portion of soldiers chose to flee.

This kind of flight, unlike the strategic retreat of Hailbo and others, stems from fear in their hearts.

Bailuo does not blame them, after all, they are just teenagers.

If he were to fault them for that, Bailuo would have to reflect on whether he has sunk so low as to lose all sense of moral baseline.

"As long as they are well trained, and continue to drill diligently, they will become valiant warriors."

Bailuo said, "Although some of them may be eliminated and become clerical workers, they are still usable."

"At least, they are usable!"

Bailuo didn't say much more; he felt he was already being quite lenient.

Children?

Thinking back to when he first crossed over, at 4 years old he had to climb mountains to search for wild vegetables, at 8 he was being chased by invaders, and then under his uncle's harsh training, he spent ten years.

What is severe?

In the bitter winter, wearing only trousers, he hunted monsters alone.

Diving into water, barehanded he wrestled with pythons.

Learning to use various weapons, learning the languages and customs of different parts of the mainland, as well as studying etiquette, dealing with interpersonal relationships, and thinking about where they would move next.

Miracle Mainland is truly harsh to mortals.

The reason Bailuo holds the Yatun Clan in such high regard is because they, like him, were not only born warriors but also received the strictest training.

Bailuo pointed to an outsider: "What do you do?"

The other replied: "I'm a carpenter."

Bailuo: "And you?"

Another said: "I am a pig farmer, Your Majesty."

Bailuo: "You."

The man answered: "I'm a mason."

At this moment, the Yatun Clan really could shout out loudly: "Sparta!!!"

Bailuo didn't want to say too much about such a world-famous scene; it also gave him a headache, realizing that relying on some half-baked individuals to support Yatun's military simply wasn't possible.

"Our Yatun's main force will ultimately depend on you." Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire

Why does Bailuo favor the Yatun, Fairies, and Tree Elf Tribe?

The answer is simple, because they are warriors, they are soldiers.

Ask yourself, if a king does not favor his soldiers and generals who protect and serve the nation, but instead cherishes sycophants who do nothing but flatter, then that nation is doomed to fail.

Yatun has been established for only a few months, and Bailuo's journey of conquest has just begun.

Conscripting an excessive standing army is not what Bailuo will do; he will advance on both fronts, but the balance of attention will definitely not be equal!

"I know that even if I really were impartial and treated everyone with fairness, you would still stand by me."

Bailuo: "But those who protect this nation and expand its borders for me are you."

"Outsiders, who have yet to prove their worth, are already enjoying the education, housing, and subsistence that I provide, and I still have to bestow them with power."

Bailuo almost laughed at this thought; what was he, a welfare institution, or a foundation: "As a king, I should strive to cultivate my subjects, but what right do they have to sit on an equal footing with you?"

It's like managing an army,

justifying who should be a general, a manager, and who can only be soldiers.

Bailuo made it clear, the Fairy Clan deserves the right to command troops, they can manage the future soldiers.

Despite their humble origins, they were just a group of small animals.

"So what if they're animals?"

Bailuo smiled and said, "Even if they are animals, they are my animals, the animals of our Yatun!"

With these words said and laid out plainly before the Fairy Clan, it would be a lie to claim they weren't moved.

"Your Majesty..."

Jie Ling, Flame Light Princess, Silver Snow Concubine, Xiaoyin, Yeyin, Hong Ying, and Baiying Yin, all took human form and knelt before Bailuo.

If it weren't for Bailuo, they were destined to remain animals all their lives, aging early.

So, even if there were no benefits, even if Bailuo only saw them as tools, the fairies had no regrets.

However, Bailuo felt that they were his vassals and rightfully deserved dignity and status.

"Subjects, citizens, commoners."

Bailuo: "Separated, clearly so."

"I also hope you can understand your own status," Bailuo said, "from today onwards, you are no longer pets of the Yatun Clan, but companions, family."

Just as the relationship between Cat Lulu and Hailbo was based on mutual recognition of rank, akin to that between a captain and team members.

"My plan is to select compatible partners for you."

Bailuo said, "From now on, the Yatun Clan and the Tree Elf will be paired with a fairy to act together, guarding each other."

"I shall fight alongside Lord Nors."

Baiying Yin grasped Bailuo's intention; he wanted the Fairy Clan not to distinguish themselves too strictly from the Yatun Clan.

The Yatun Clan and fairies were inherently one.

They could seek companions and then go out to fight together, helping each other.

They would share honor and disgrace alike.

If they erred, they would be punished together; if they completed a task, they would receive the reward together.

"Mhm."

Bailuo nodded, "Rest assured, Nors and the others will grow soon enough. By then, it won't be just a one-sided protection from you anymore."

Concerning the power balance within the People of Yatun after the sudden strengthening of the Fairy Clan, Bailuo and the council of elders had deliberated for a long time.

In the end, they reached such a conclusion.

Let the fairies and the People of Yatun team up, fighting side by side, turning the honor between two individuals into a unified whole.

"Only the Yatun Clan and the Tree Elf have this privilege," Bailuo said, "newcomers..."

"You are not tools, you won't be allocated per head."

Bailuo said, "I will issue an edict, effective immediately, only those who are recognized by the fairies can become true warriors."

The Fairy Clan was perceptive and discerning, they had a keen eye for people, with their own set of criteria.

So, Bailuo effectively handed over the right to select Yatun warriors to the Fairy Clan. With them overseeing the Yatun Army's loyalty, Bailuo felt he could rest easy.

This also meant that only the People of Yatun accompanied by fairies were true People of Yatun.

Just like Hailbo, who was no different from the Yatun Clan.

"Silver."

Bailuo said, "I also bestow upon you a new name, Silver Wing."

"Thank you for the name you've given me!"

With his massive frame, Silver Wing knelt again, feeling no humility but rather honored to personally receive Bailuo's gift, "I will not fail your expectations!"

"Mhm."

"Alright, continue."

Bailuo looked towards the remaining members of the Aquatic Tribe: "There is still one legendary spot open, I am curious to see who will finally claim it."

The King was already so powerful, so how much stronger could a legend be?

This was Yatun's first legend, and though Bailuo had high regards for Cat Lingling and Baiying Yin, now their qualifications seemed insufficient.

No, it's not that their qualifications were insufficient.

The Mysterious Dragon had improved their qualifications, which were linked to the entire Fairy Clan's enhancement. Cat Lingling and Baiying Yin might be qualified, but because this legendary bloodline was not apt for them, they could not undergo transformation.

"If it's not a beast or a bird, then could it be a reptilian kind?"

Thinking this, Bailuo looked towards Miss Dolphin in the fish tank and the other Aquatic Fairy Tribe members.
