Chapter 373: Mayor Chu Tian

Chapter 373: Mayor Chu Tian

The dwarves were standing at the gates to Oldman Small Town. Their faces were stern, respectful, and filled with awe, like they were welcoming a triumphant king.

Dong, dong, dong, dong!

The heavy footsteps were messy, but filled with power. That armour covered in blood and flesh was releasing a bloody smell. Their weapons were covered in red and white viscous liquids that seemed like it was covered in the souls of those who they just killed.

The dwarves swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Terrifying, too terrifying. If they had not personally witnessed it, they would not have dared believe that a three thousand army would be able to eliminate enemies several times their numbers. The spider army could not resist at all under that terrifying firepower.

“Reporting to boss!” Nangong Yun came over and said, “We have fulfilled the mission and eliminated the enemies. Our army has over a hundred casualties and there were thirty brave warriors who died!”

Only thirty warriors died?

The dwarves were stunned by these numbers.

“It’s been hard on you all!” Chu Tian announced, “The family members of each warrior who dies will enjoy permanent subsidies from Miracle Commerce and will be paid ten times the normal pension given by the kingdom! The other warriors all performed well in this battle, so everyone will receive great rewards!”

The berserkers’ eyes all lit up.

The barbarians were a low status robber race, but now they became Miracle Commerce’s respected berserkers, it was like their destiny had changed. Moreover, Miracle Commerce’s rewards were very rich, not only could they be trained for free as berserkers, they were given high class equipment and their families were specially cared for, this allowed the berserkers to have no worries.

“Bring the wine and meat out!”

“Let our warriors drink to their content!”

When the berserkers heard this, they roared with excitement. Actually after fighting this battle, the berserkers were feeling very hungry, so having a meal was just right!

Meng Qingwu had already prepared it and transported large amounts of high quality food through the Space Warehouse. These barbarian berserkers did not even take off their armour as they directly began eating. That rough and wild appearance made the dwarves unable to not sigh.

The berserkers could clearly feel that after that bloody battle and wildly eating, their strength had increased compared to before. The wounds they received in the battle had been healed in a short two hours. Their fighting intent soared into the sky as they wanted to fight again!

This was the characteristic of a berserker.

This was an army that became stronger and braver the more they fought!

In the berserker training process, there was no need for treasures, they just need to be sure that they were fed. They could extract vitality from high level demon beast meat and increase their strength in blood battles. Their ordinary injuries would be quickly healed and their strength would seem endless. As long as there was enough food, they could easily fight for ten days and nights!

Once the berserkers went berserk, with a single strike with an axe or a hammer, even an Awakened Soul Cultivator would be destroyed. If they were equipped with Miracle Commerce’s Source Energy Weapons, they would sweep through everything!

The only minor defect was that the berserkers were too violent, which led to the battlefield seeming like several tens of thousands of tomatoes had been crushed. It was hard to find complete corpses because they had all been turned into a mush of armour, bones, and flesh, therefore it was hard to confirm if important targets were killed.

Inhumane!

Completely inhumane!

Chu Tian was too lazy to care and gave Dongfang Haoran an order, “Burn it all.”

After Dongfang Haoran saw just how powerful the berserker army was, he was now filled with admiration and awe towards Chu Tian. If Chu Tian had come five years earlier, oh no, two years, or even one year earlier and appeared in the Southern Summer Country, would the Southern Summer Country be reduced to their current situation?

“Yes!”

Dongfang Haoran led people to clean the battlefield. The large amount of corpses formed a mountain and when it was dusk, a fire was lit which turned it all into ashes.

The black smoke that filled the forest was also the smell of death.

The countless races were paying attention to Oldman Small Town. When they saw the smoke rising, they knew that the fight was already over.

Oldman Small Town was currently holding an important meeting. The large table was filled with people, half being humans, half being dwarves, and also one elf. They were currently discussing something.

Finally the dwarf chief stood up, “Our dwarven elders have discussed and evaluated this and allow the berserkers to become the small town’s garrison to protect Oldman Small Town. Their battle strength accounts for over 75% of the garrison’s overall strength, so mister Chu Tian will at least own 75% of the small town!”

The other dwarves all nodded.

This was a conclusion everyone was satisfied with!

Actually, did the barbarians only account for 75% of the small town’s battle strength? Perhaps they even accounted for 90% of it! Only Chu Tian and his team willingly underestimated themselves to give the dwarves face and to give them a bit more benefit.

“Mister Chu Tian’s army is this town’s strongest protection, you own most of this small town, and you’ve earned the approval of the dwarven elders. According to Oldman Small Town’s regulations, you are now automatically Oldman Small Town’s mayor! We hope that you can govern Oldman Small Town well and lead it to become more prosperous!”

Meng Yingying, Vivian, and the others revealed looks of joy.

A small town was still a small city. In a chaotic place like the Forest of Chaos, this was their first real foothold. Starting from a small town’s mayor was a good beginning.

Chu Tian was very satisfied with this ending, “Thank you for the dwarves’ trust. I will do all I can to make contributions to this small town’s development!”

Before Chu Tian even helped the dwarves recapture the mine, he already had ideas towards this place.

The Oldman Mines was a place the dwarves had built over a hundred years and now it was perfectly secure and fortified. The surrounding areas were also easy to defend and adding in its position on the edge of the Forest of Chaos, it wouldn’t attract the attention of any large characters. The surrounding people were not too strong to be unmatchable. So, the various aspects made it suitable for Chu Tian.

But Chu Tian wouldn’t directly ask the dwarves like an idiot.

The dwarves were very stubborn about their territory. The matter of having them hand it over, he couldn’t directly ask the dwarves or he would receive the hatred of the dwarves.

Therefore, Chu Tian never disclosed his goal and first earned the dwarves’ gratitude and trust before stirring the dwarves to reform the Oldman Mines. When the Oldman Mines had been reformed, the mines were still the mines and the small town was the small town, which became two different regions.

The dwarven mines still existed, only taking up 40% of the area. This area would forever be the area the dwarves lived in. The remaining 60% was turned into the small town and used as a completely reformed area.

Finally Chu Tian commanded the army to enter the town. Chu Tian’s strength surpassed the dwarves and the dwarves were also willing to give the mayor position to Chu Tian.

Actually the dwarves weren’t suffering a loss.

The dwarves still had the mine and they just gave away some of the area and residences they couldn’t use. Chu Tian used his mayor authority to manage this area, but it wouldn’t affect with the dwarves’ mines and living areas. It was simply take what one needs!

The Oldman Small Town was like a joint construction project. The dwarves were the ones who initiated it and were the largest shareholders, but now Chu Tian decided to invest capital into the small town. Chu Tian violently took 70-80% of the shares and left the dwarves with only around 20%. Chu Tian became the town’s largest shareholder, so naturally he would become the mayor.

The dwarves gave a little, but they harvested even more.

First their security was guaranteed which solved an urgent matter!

Next was the potential income and the future appreciation. The dwarves had stock in Oldman Small Town, so even if they did nothing each year, they would still receive a dividend. Moreover, the more prosperous Oldman Small Town was, the more the mines rose in value. There was 40% of the land in the dwarves land that wouldn’t change, so the dwarves could use these regions to earn massive revenue.

Chu Tian was the mayor.

Since he was the mayor, of course he had to do something!

Chu Tian directly proposed to the dwarves, “We need to look for reliable allies to cooperate with. The more allies we have, the faster Oldman Small Town will development and the more our position will be consolidated!”

Chu Tian already thought it through.

For a place like the Forest of Chaos, Miracle Commerce can’t work alone.

If Miracle Commerce wanted to condense their strength and influence, they needed to share benefits with more people and gather more alliances for themselves. This will quickly create many channels for their company.

The result of this battle had already caused a large wave to pass through the forest.

Oldman Small Town’s fame in the edge of the Forest of Chaos exploded!

Now people understood why Oldman Small Town dared to be this arrogant and defy the dark forest principle. With the might of Oldman Small Town, they could already be considered a large power on the edge of the Forest of Chaos.

This kind of power could already be considered a local overlord. As long as they didn’t attract the attention of any large characters in the depth of the forest, it didn’t matter if they exposed themselves because the surrounding powers could do nothing to them. Even if they could pose a threat, they would just cause both sides to be injured, fighting this kind of pointless war.

At this time, Oldman Small Town announced a plan to take out 30% of the shares to give to allies with strength. The Oldman Small Town’s mayor was filled with courage, actually attracting other powers by his own initiative to manage Oldman Small Town together.

If this happened before, it would be considered a large risk!

In the Forest of Chaos, people were unpredictable. Who knew if people used the excuse of an alliance to hold a blade to your throat?

Now it was different.

After the Oldman Small Town and the spider people fought, they had already displayed their strength. The dwarves had certainly found a strong ally.

There was no one willing to provoke Oldman Small Town because their power far surpassed their value. Who would go and gnaw on a hard stone that had no nutrition? So many influences expressed interest in the plan Oldman Small Town proposed. After all, this was a new method in the Forest of Chaos and everyone wanted to know what kind of power was standing behind the dwarves.
