Chapter 669, Make an Example to Deter Others

Kage Mako nodded emphatically, agreeing wholeheartedly as he said. “That goes without saying, Master. This person is nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking he’s invincible just because he possesses a Pet Dragon. If he were to truly encounter an expert like you, a Fifth Profession Player at Level 130. what would his meagre strength amount to!?”

“Never mind just you, any of the Patriarchs from our Cherry Blossom Country’s Four Major Clans are all Level 120 Fifth Profession Players. Pick any one of them at random, and they would thrash him to death, wouldn’t they?”

After a pause, Kage Mako spoke with a hint of envy in his voice. “At Level 120, one can step into their Fifth Profession, touching upon Divine Power. Fourth Profession Players just pale in comparison to such strength. It’s like the difference between Heaven and Earth.”

“I’ve always wanted to reach that Level, but unfortunately, I was just a bit short of successfully achieving my Fifth Profession Change. It’s all because of that detestable Dragon Tamer!”

As he spoke those words, he clenched his fists tightly, producing audible *crack crack* sounds from his knuckles.

Kage Tenshi glanced at him and said with disappointment. “If you had devoted yourself wholeheartedly to Levelling Up, you would have had your Fifth Profession Change long ago. Then, when you’d encountered that Dragon Tamer, you wouldn’t have suffered such a tremendous loss.”

“The Patriarchs of the Four Major Clans are all Fifth Profession Players. But aren’t they all cultivated by my own hand? As fellow Disciples, their talents aren’t actually superior to yours. The reason they could become Fifth Profession Players is simply because they were more devoted to the path of Levelling Up than you were.”

Kage Mako’s face was filled with shame as he lowered his head. “Master, I’ll take your words to heart. But, when we go to seek out that Dragon Tamer, do we really need my four Senior Brothers to accompany us? Whether it’s you personally taking action or any one of my four Senior Brothers, any of them would be fully capable of crushing that Dragon Tamer. For all of us to mobilise together, it seems like making a mountain out of a molehill…”

“No matter!” Kage Tenshi waved his hand with supreme confidence in his voice. “Actually, this is not solely for that Dragon Tamer. There’s another important reason. I’ve recently decided not to maintain a low profile any longer.”

“Extremistis Country has been rather unstable lately. After experiencing a tide of Bone Monsters, the Major Force controlling Extremistis Country is clearly stretched thin and have lost popular support. I want to seize this opportunity to take control of Extremistis Country. This way, I can obtain resources from Extremistis Country itself.”

“There’s also the matter of paving the way for you. Once you successfully had your Fifth Profession Change, I’ll have you go to Extremistis Country to become the one controlling it behind the scenes. The entire Cherry Blossom Country is already basically in your four Senior Brothers’ hands. After cultivating you, I don’t need you to control part of Cherry Blossom Country like they are doing. To simply put it, I’ll have you go to Extremistis Country and have Extremistis Country in our hands as well.”

Upon hearing these words, Kage Mako was overjoyed.

He truly had not expected his Master to have prepared such a wonderful assignment for him!

Kage Tenshi wielded enormous power. The entire Cherry Blossom Country was essentially under the control of the Four Major Clans.

The Patriarchs of the Four Major Clans were all Kage Tenshi’s Disciples, following his commands. In short, the entire Cherry Blossom Country was completely under Kage Tenshi’s control.

If Kage Mako were to establish a fifth Major Clan, it would not really mean much. At most he would be following behind his four Senior Brothers and could only end up getting some scraps.

But if he went to Extremistis Country, that would be different entirely.

Firstly, Kage Tenshi had no established Force in Extremistis Country. If he supported Kage Mako in establishing a foothold in Extremistis Country, then Kage Mako would be able to enjoy abundant resources there.

Secondly, while Extremistis Country was not particularly far from Cherry Blossom Country, in this world, the distance between the two countries was not so easily traversed.

If Kage Mako went to Extremistis Country, he would essentially be establishing himself as its ruler. Kage Tenshi certainly would not be able to manage him too closely.

As long as he did not go too far and did not shortchange on the tributes owed to Kage Tenshi, he could do as he pleased in Extremistis Country, supporting whatever puppet Royal Family he wished.

Thus, going to Extremistis Country was a wonderful assignment for him.

However, for people from their Cherry Blossom Country to stretch out their hand into Extremistis Country, it would inevitably be crossing certain boundaries.

After all, if Cherry Blossom Country had experts like Kage Tenshi, wouldn’t Extremistis Country have them as well?

Therefore, Kage Mako still had some concerns. After his initial surprise, he asked somewhat suspiciously. “Master, if we can gain control over Extremistis Country, that would certainly be excellent. But doesn’t Extremistis Country have Tangun? If we want to control Extremistis Country, Tangun certainly won’t agree…”

“What does it matter if he disagrees?” Kage Tenshi sneered repeatedly. “Extremistis Country has already exceeded what Tangun can control. Extremistis Country has suffered successive natural and man-made disasters. Tangun has long lost interest in such a tiny place. Moreover, when I travel to Dragon Country to capture that Dragon Tamer, I’m actually giving Tangun a warning, letting him know of the formidable power of us from Cherry Blossom Country.”

“Tangun’s strength is roughly equal to mine. The Fifth Profession Players under his command should not exceed three. But if he sees me bringing four Fifth Profession Players to Dragon Country to capture a Dragon Tamer, what will he think?”

“I would ask him this instead, ‘will you dare clash with me’?”

“Furthermore, by capturing that Dragon Tamer, I might very well extract information about where he got all those Dragons. If I can gain a Giant Dragon’s assistance, then Tangun would no longer be of concern.”

“As long as I decisively capture that Dragon Tamer, and then point my sword toward Extremistis Country, Tangun will naturally know when to retreat and obediently hand over Extremistis Country.”

After listening, Kage Mako nodded repeatedly. “Brilliant! Master, you have truly thought everything through. This strategy of making an example to deter others is unparallel. Once Tangun sees it, he certainly won’t dare compete with us for Extremistis Country. It seems that in the future, Extremistis Country will likely become part of our Cherry Blossom Country!”

Kage Tenshi replied indifferently. “When the time comes, whether you personally govern Extremistis Country or have Extremistis Country incorporated into Cherry Blossom Country, that’s all up to you fellow Disciples’ to decide. I’m not interested in such matters. You only need to ensure that the resources I require are delivered punctually.”

Kage Mako knelt on one knee and bowed with cupped hands. “Naturally! Master, please rest assured. We fellow Disciples all know that everything we currently possess was bestowed by you. We will certainly obey your commands without question! Never mind mere resources. Even our very lives, we would give to you!”

“Heh! if you truly think that way, then you haven’t failed all my efforts in cultivating you all these years.” Kage Tenshi smiled. “Very well, go notify your Senior Brothers. In three days, following the guidance of the mark, we’ll proceed to capture the Dragon Tamer from Dragon Country!”
