Chapter Eighty-One: Mon Rua
"Hmm, his military service is almost over, if he can become a Huwei next year, it's considered a success. When he heard that Diguo was coming to see him, Ge Li smiled and replied, they had worked together for many years and their relationship was very close."
"They live in a pretty remote area, almost as far as the training camp. I was startled when I first found out where they lived." Liu Yu said casually while eating meat and chatting with Ge Li.
"They are indeed a small and weak family. Alexander, if you have the opportunity in the future, help him." Geli suddenly said sincerely to Liu Yu.
"Uh, don't worry, I'll definitely help him if I have the chance." Liu Yu also understood Di Geng's struggles as a member of a small family and was willing to lend a hand due to their colleague relationship.
Four days later, in the western part of the Fire Castle, a golden statue of Bimon over ten meters high stood facing east on a spacious square.
Under the statue, an elderly Red Flame Mongol in formal attire stands south and respectfully hands a black command plate to an elderly Golden Mongol in formal attire standing north.
Between the two old Beomons, a golden-robed old Beomon stood with his hands clasped behind his back, intently watching every move of the two old Beomons in front of him.
"The ceremony of the Monluo agreement has been completed." After Old Huang Jinbi received the token, he announced loudly. Then, the old Huang Jinbi in the north began to say something to all the Bi Mons on the field.
To the north stood twenty or so people wearing golden, brown and red three-colored formal attire of the Bimou tribe, with magnificent clothing and accessories.
Liu Yu, dressed in a golden uniform, was also among them. When he heard the words of the Beast God Temple's ritual, his mood suddenly improved. Liu Yu smiled and glanced at the man standing beside him, Gaia, who had been smiling since the "Mongrua" engagement ceremony, seeming to have grown younger by several years.
By his father's side, Liu Yu could faintly feel the powerful aura emanating from him, and compared to a few months ago in the military camp, Liu Yu estimated that his father's strength had increased by more than double.
Gaia just came out of the secret room where he was in seclusion, and Liu Yu also saw his father for the first time after returning a few days ago. Unexpectedly, their first meeting gave him a surprise, and now Liu Yu is almost certain that his father has broken through to the 9th rank of Dou Zun.
Today is the second day of the Beast God Festival. According to the plan negotiated by the Willin and Balagu families, the main powers of both tribes have come to the Beast God Temple, requesting that the priest of the Beast God Temple preside over the conclusion ceremony of the "Monruvia" pact for the two families.
The Weilin family was led by King Kroe himself, bringing a large number of powerful warriors. Liu Yu's familiar Fourth Grandfather Aurelio and another Dou Zun elder from the Weilin family, as well as several Dou Huangs, were all present.
In Liu Yu's memory, there was only one extremely high-ranking top strongman in the Weilin family who did not come today. This strongman's identity is absolutely qualified to come here, but he just didn't want to come and no one could force him.
"Yudai Wei Lin." Liu Yu silently recited the name of this powerful figure. In the Wei Lin family, apart from Kuo Wang, the most influential and prestigious was Yudai Wei Lin. As one of the three elders of the Elder Council, he was hailed as the greatest genius in a hundred years among the Mong people. At just over fifty years old, with the same generation as Kuo Wang, he already possessed the cultivation of a late-stage Ninth-Grade Dou Zun. Even the First and Second Elders of the Elder Council treated him with courtesy.
Although Yu Dahuai didn't come, the lineup of the Weilin family was absolutely strong enough. The four ninth-grade Dou Zun and more than a dozen eighth-grade Dou Huang were forces that could intimidate one side on the mainland.
In contrast, the other party that made a pact with Mong Ruoya, the Perala family only had four Seventh-Order Battle Emperors and about ten Battle Commanders or Great Demon Mages. This amount of power standing opposite the Weilin family seemed very pathetic.
Looking at the tense expression of the Palagru family members opposite, Liu Yu secretly smiled to himself. The Weilin family put out such a big show, not just to show off their own strength to the Palagru family, but also to demonstrate that they had chosen a powerful backer.
More importantly, to show the strength of the Weilun family to those who witnessed the two families making a "Montroy" pact with Bimon, especially to deliberately release the news that Ge Ya broke through to the Ninth Rank Dou Zun.
Because today the Bimon clan, which is going to conclude the "Monrua" contract, is not only the Weilin family, but also the Sobel family has accepted the requests of two small families and concluded a contract with them. They are just in order after the Weilin family, and the members of the three families are watching the conclusion process around the golden Bimon statue.
Liu Yu had already discovered that the elder of the Council of Elders, Michael Sobel, looked at Gaia with a strange expression after just a few glances. And several ninth-level elders of the Sobel family standing beside him also found out about Gaia's breakthrough, their faces not looking too good. The two small family heads who had an alliance with the Sobel family, repeatedly showed a hesitant and worried expression.
Liu Yu was worried that he would be redundant as the head of these two small families. Like Weilin, Suo Bo and Di La, such big families are not something that any small family can join at will. The big families that are willing to form an alliance with them are either powerful or have potential.
Like the Pilar family, they have two talented and capable Golden Bimon, Marlene and Ivan. The Weilintin family accepted their "Monruya" request because of this potential.
If your own family has no potential and no strength, these big families won't bother with you. The reason is that after the "Montlu?on" agreement was successfully concluded, the big families on the strong side have an obligation to take care of the interests of small families in many places.
Any benefits that a large family may have are limited and cannot be wasted on small families that are of no use to them.
So those two small families can be affiliated with the Suo family, they are either a little promising or have some strength, and the Suo family will not treat them unfairly.
"Your Majesty, I have already consulted with the heads of eight families around us and we will test our support for General Dae at the Council of Elders. There are fourteen 7th rank Dou Wang or Mo Dao Masters." Just after dusk, in King Kuo's study, the old Lie Yan Bimon, dressed in a red uniform, bowed to King Kuo who was sitting on the main seat. Beside King Kuo's main seat, Gaiya and Liu Yu were standing upright.
"Alright, Chief Shitai, please don't be too polite, take a seat. On behalf of the Weilin family, thank you." King Kero stretched out his hand to invite the old Lie Yan Bimeng to sit down, while casting a faint glance at Gaya beside him.
"Thank you, Patriarch of the Balrog family. I, Gaea, will never forget your support in the future." Gaea nodded slightly and bowed her head to express her gratitude to the patriarch of the Balrog family.
"It's too much, it's too much, General Dukedom, you're being too polite." Having received the courtesy of King Kuro and his son, the chief of the Shutei tribe hastily stood up from his seat again and supported Gaia, who was bowing.
"The Great General is now over 40 years old and has become a Ninth-Grade Dou Zun, his future prospects are boundless. After I return, I will definitely discuss with the heads of other friendly families to persuade the Council of Elders to test him, in order to gain more support for the Great General." Witnessing Gaea's progress in power, this head of the Balrog family seemed to speak with more confidence.
"Alright, thank you, elder." Gaya slowly helped the Shutei clan leader into his chair. The Beragyu family's clan leader and King Kuro then chatted for a bit before bowing their heads and leaving. From start to finish, Liu Yu didn't say a single word; in this kind of setting, he wasn't qualified to interrupt.
"Father, congratulations," said Liu Yu, looking at his father Gaiya with a sincere expression after the chief of the Sui tribe left.
"Haha, still thanks to you, Prince Hadrian of the Vandel Empire." Gaia broke through the 9th rank of Dou Zun, and with a great mood after being stuck at this bottleneck for several years, he said jokingly to Liu Yu.
"Hmm, this prince planned to deal with us but suffered a great defeat. I wonder how Emperor Farnod will treat him." Liu Yu turned around and looked at the western border of the Farnod Empire on the map, saying in a somewhat gloomy tone.
In Liu Yu's view, Hadrian's plan was thwarted by the beast tribe in advance, and the defensive system that cost a huge amount of material resources also benefited the Beastman Kingdom. It is estimated that there will be internal disputes about this prince within the Empire of Fanord.
